More than a few people were skeptical when it was announced that Sir Paul McCartney was to perform with Nirvana at Wednesday's 12-12-12 concert... they shouldn't have been.
The Beatle legend rejoined the '90s icons for a second jam on Saturday night's Saturday Night Live and was on better form than ever as he helmed the fledgling band's performance of Cut Me Some Slack, a delicious marriage of McCartney melody and Nirvana's hard, driven rock.
Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love whined, of course, but the idea that her late husband - a massive Beatles fan - would have objected to the union is ludicrous.
Scroll down to watch Sir Paul and Nirvana perform Cut Me Some Slack at 12-12-12...
A new legend: Krist Novoselic and Paul McCartney blew the roof off the Saturday Night Live studios on Saturday night
Backseat driver: Dave Grohl worked up a sweat as he drove the incredible performance along
What's more, the 70-year-old legend and Nirvana's Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and unofficial member, Pat Smear, have created something special and unique with the new blistering track.
Cut Me Some Slack is an apt title for the savvy McCartney, who was criticised for his under par performance of Hey Jude at the opening ceremony, as is the grungey change of direction.
He prepared the crowd at Sandy for it's searing tempo by reminding them that he could rock with (and before) the best of them by opening his set with the rip-roaring Helter Skelter from 1968's White Album.
Perfectionist: As usual, mercurial Paul has taken a different direction after being criricised for his Olympics performance... and it's paid off
Nifty: Sir Paul played up a storm on a cigar box guitar
Sight to behold: The Beatles and Nirvana united... Kurt and John would be proud
It was mercurial Paul who was the driving force behind the Beatles most eclectic long-player so it's unsurprising he decided to mix things up again after the backlash to his greatest thumbs aloft anthem.
And it's worked; strumming on his cigar box guitar in simple jeans and grey shirt - Macca raised the roof at the New York studios as Dave Grohl worked himself into a sweat with his merciless beat.
Despite Courtney's lack of enthusiasm for the collaboration, the McCartney fitted in to the grunge band with ease even on their first high profile outing.
On fire: McCartney's performance at the 12-12-12 concert was incredible and he seemed fired up to perform on the hit U.S. show
Red hot: Sir Paul also performed the ballad, My Valentine, a song he wrote for wife Nancy
Treat: The Beatle is truly back on song
Dave took his seat behind the drum set while Paul sang, the collaboration will be included on the soundtrack of Grohl's new film 'Sound City Movie.'
During an evening that included performances by Alicia Keys, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones and Kanye West, the duet stood out as a highlight, as the two musical powerhouses joined forces.
Joining forces: Sir Paul McCartney took Kurt Cobain's place in Nirvana as the band performed at the Sandy Relief Concert
Collaboration: McCartney and Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl performed a new track for the crowd
Different styles: Despite the different musical styles and generational gap, the performers fitted together with ease
McCartney recently admitted that it suddenly dawned on him that he was in the middle of a Nirvana reunion while 'jamming' with some people recently.
'I didn't really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together,' he told The Sun.
'I said, "Whoa? You guys haven't played together for all that time?" And somebody whispered to me, "That's Nirvana. You're Kurt."

For now we can put that stuff away until we make sure we have two safe candidates in 2016.
So this is all about a "stop Rand" konspiracy?
Miles, don't blow away my illusions that you are one that is not on the lunatic fringe.
The bedfellows on this issue are too strange to be manufactured. I really believe that there is an amount of classified shit out there so mind numbing that once opportunist scum bags of all agendas actually see it, it is so stark the blood curdles in them and they come to similar conclusions.

When I was 26, I found myself a single parent raising two young children on my own. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life working minimum-wage jobs, and I realized that I couldn't depend on other people to support me. A friend of mine was studying to become a chemical engineer and encouraged me to do the same. Chemistry and math were two of my favorite subjects in high school, so I decided to give it a try. I quit my job and depended on financial aid, scholarships, and grants to get me through college. It all paid off when I received my degree in chemical engineering and my job at Sherwin. I work at Sherwin Alumina Company in Gregory, Texas. I oversee the chemical process involved in extracting alumina, a substance used in aluminum foil, medicines, and other products. My company extracts alumina from a type of rock called bauxite ore, which is shipped to them from Jamaica and Brazil. I make sure the extraction equipment is in perfect running order and that the alumina product is of high quality. I have to ensure that my area is running smoothly, and I troubleshoot when there are problems at the plant. I am also part of a team helping to keep workers at the plant safe from potential health risks by making sure dust levels from the ore are kept to a minimum.
I was born in Monclova, in Coahuila, Mexico. I love doing anything outdoors like golfing and fishing with my husband. I live near the beach, so I like relaxing by the water. I enjoy spending time with my son,daughter and my family. The day I received my degree, my children were extremely proud of me
Hi Kennedy! Great questions! Being an engineer is a both a challenging but rewarding field. The job can be very stressful at times but it compensates very well. The fact that most men are engineers doesn't bother me. I grew up in a family with a smart men (my father and 3 brothers); therefore, I felt prepared working with mostly men. I started to work as a Process Engineer straight out of college in 2006. It's been 6 1/2 years and I continue to love it!
Becoming an engineer completely changed my life around 360 degrees. I was a single mother who was struggling financially to raise my two kids. I knew that wasn't a life for me or my children so I was determined to change that. My kids were 3 and 4 years old when I enrolled in college; therefore, they saw me study for all my exams for the next 5 years. When my kids saw me graduate they cried and hugged me...they were so proud. After I got my degree, my life was different. Not only do I have a great steady job, but I can actually pay my bills now. It's not all about the money but it surely helps!

Yep.. Thats the way i will go for.Activated the Ischia starter from Ed. Had 90F as in the description.Now i can really smell alcohol, it tastes sour, but there is a acidic, not so nice-smelling note.Getting a bit concerned, but will keep the routine.Craig, you know Ischia well. did the starter after 24 hours smell only nice with an alcohol note ? Hope it is not rotten ....
Mine took several days to smell good.CL
- cooler box with ice. i tried it and will come down to 73F. => is this too high for the yeast to develop ?
Use more ice.CL
One of the more interesting aspects of dough making, at least for me, is figuring out starter/yeast percentages based on ambient room temperatures. I find that calculating the amount of starter/yeast for a very specific dough fermentation time frame (in my case, 24 hours) to be enlightening, and helps you understand the process much more. Over the course of a few months, you get the hang of it. Then you don't really need to keep the dough at a constant temp.There are drawbacks though - inconsistency due to temp fluctuations, especially in a climate like New England, can cause problems. And if you prefer to have the exact same dough week after week, I think the cooler/controlled temp approach might be better suited.John

Craig Remsburg column: Ishpeming, Negaunee matchup on horizon
Thinking out loud on a Sunday morning:
It's early in the Upper Peninsula high school football season and a lot can happen from here on out, but local fans should mark their calendars on Oct. 11.
That's when the Negaunee Miners take on the host Ishpeming Hematites.
The clash will likely decide the Mid-Peninsula Conference champion and might enable the winner to go undefeated this season.
The game will no doubt draw a huge crowd at the Ishpeming field, with the Hematites looking to avenge their only loss (20-8) during the 2012 campaign that ended in a state Division 7 title for the Blue and White.
In the last 10 games between the neighboring rivals, Ishpeming holds a 6-4 lead after winning three of the last four games.
-If I were Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland, I'd have pitcher Justin Verlander miss his next scheduled start to get his game back on track.
The 2011 Cy Young winner and American League Most Valuable Player, Verlander is just 13-12 to date this season with a 3.66 ERA.
He has struggled all season and his ERA is the highest he has recorded since 2008 when it was 4.84.
Skipping a start may give Verlander a chance to do something with his pitching mechanics and rest up for the coming postseason.
– Also with the Tigers, I don't know why Leyland continues to play Matt Tuiasosopo over rookie Nick Castellanos, who's supposed to be the organization's top prospect.
Tuiasosopo, hitting just .260 with seven homers and 30 RBIs, twice left the bases loaded this past week against Seattle, striking out one time and grounding out the other.
Castellanos, meanwhile, is hitting just .250, but has appeared in only seven games since being called up to the big club on Sept. 1.
Tuiasosopo is obviously a veteran and the Tigers are trying to clinch a postseason spot. But if Castellanos is as good as club executives say, he needs to get some Major League games and at-bats under his belt.
– The Detroit Red Wings re-signing free agent left wing Dan Cleary to a one-year, $1.75 million contract raises some concerns.
Cleary's feisty, knows how to play defense and is reputed to be good in the locker room.
But he's also 34 and scored just nine goals to go with six assists in an injury-plagued 2012-13 season.
Does he have anything left in the tank?
By signing Cleary, the Wings are reportedly $637,000 over the salary cap and will have to cut a couple of players.
If signing Cleary forces the Wings to waive a young prospect or two, the team might gain something this season with Cleary but lose in the long run by letting a young player go.

In two year PC business will be dead, so the only servers will be left. People will start using there smart phones as PCs. The smart phones will be connected thrue HDMI to monitor and this will be your PC. Nvidia already preparing Tagra II for smart phones. That the best move they ever did. The smart phone market moving so fast that it killing the PCs.
Advanced Micro Devices has intentions to install its chips into slate-type personal computers going forward, but at the same time it has no plans to develop direct competitors to system-on-chips (SoCs) based on designs developed by ARM holdings, such as those that power smartphones or the most popular tablet at present, the Apple iPad.
"I do not foresee that day [when AMD competes with ARM is] coming in the near term. First of all, when we consider which areas to approach, we look at markets, we look at the technology capabilities we have, and we try to find an intersection point that really represents really big opportunities. By far the biggest business opportunity we have got is in PCs and servers. The market for silicon processing content is bigger than the smartphone market. [...] The other thing we really like about our core market is that there aren't that many competitors [...]. I would rather focus on the big market, where there's a small number of competitors," said Dirk Meyer, chief executive officer and president of AMD, in an interview with the Fortune magazine.
Historically companies like AMD and Intel focused on advancements of x86 micro-architecture in terms of performance, scalability and so on without significant concentration on keeping power consumption as low as possible, whereas ARM Holdings focused on small performance advancements amid decreases in consumption of power. However, in recent years Intel announced intentions to participate on the market of smartphones, whereas ARM indicated that it chips could power servers. Both plans seem to be rather hard to accomplish and the success of both companies is not cast on stone, which is AMD's cautious approach seems to be rather logical.
Nonetheless, AMD does understand that the markets of ultra-portable devices are only going to grow and the company is sure that over time it will be able to address the developing market of tablets. It remains to be seen whether AMD will be able to address the market of slates with the forthcoming Bobcat/Ontario generation of products, or it will wait for future chips.
"We view the tablet market as something we'll enter when the market gets big and we have the resources to appropriately address it. [...] I do not think we can ignore in the long term what is going on with mobility, the fact that people's eyeballs are spending more time in front of things like tablets and smartphones. We are ensuring that we are developing the technology that will, over time, address these markets. It's not a 'not-ever,' it's just a 'not now' statement [about ARM]," Mr. Meyer clarified.
But the absence of plans to compete with ARM or low-power Intel architectures now may play a bad joke with AMD. Once the market establishes itself, the Sunnyvale, California-based company will have to follow its competitors, not establish new categories of products. Moreover, the company's the rivals will have an advantage of established brands on those markets by the time AMD reaches them.

New Products, Partnerships Launched at APEX/IFSA 2013 Expo
Avionics equipment manufacturers and in-flight entertainment and connectivity service providers announced a series of new partnerships and service offerings designed to enhance passengers' in-flight experience at this week's Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) and International Flight Services Association (IFSA) Expo in Anaheim, Calif.
Gogo announced a new service, Gogo Ground to Orbit (GTO), a hybrid air-to-ground (ATG)/Ku-band satellite solution with projected in-flight download speeds of 60 megabits.
Virgin America is the launch customer for Gogo GTO, as the San Francisco-based carrier will begin using the system on its commercial aircraft in 2014.
The company expects FAA approval for the service next year.
"When we launched our in-flight Internet service five years ago, we were able to deliver 3.1 Mbps per aircraft through our Air to Ground network. About a year ago, we began rapidly deploying our next generation air-to-ground service that took peak speeds to 9.8 Mbps. GTO will now take peak speeds to more than 60 Mbps. That's a 20-fold increase from where we started," said Michael Small, CEO of Gogo.
The GTO network will use a Ku antenna developed for "receive-only functionality," allowing for much faster download speeds than the current two-way ATG option where transmission is more limited so that the connections do not interfere with other satellites. It also allows for the use of multiple satellites, avoiding the need to install a new antenna as more Ku satellite technologies become available, according to Gogo.
Among the other highlights:
-- Inmarsat and Thales signed an agreement under which Thales will be a marketing partner for Inmarsat's commercial in-flight connectivity solutions.
Under the agreement, Thales will use Inmarsat's Swiftbroadband and GX aviation as the primary and preferred satellite service for its TopSeries in-flight entertainment and connectivity system (IFEC), a cabin entertainment system which provides airlines with Internet connectivity, personal device connection and on-demand audio and video.
"The ultimate aim of this agreement is to achieve today in the airline market, what network operators and mobile phone manufacturers achieved a decade ago by making passengers and systems connected anytime, anywhere," said Dominique Giannoni, CEO of Thales' in-flight entertainment and connectivity unit.
-- Panasonic Avionics launched a new overhead in-flight entertainment system, eXO, featuring video, wireless in-flight entertainment and hybrid cabin class-specific systems.
The 4 MCU, single-server unit eXO system supports cabin-wide entertainment, allowing passengers to use their own personal electronic devices to connect with a singular in-flight portal, interact with other passengers and "enjoy second screen entertainment," according to Panasonic.
Panasonic has not yet announced a launch customer for the system, though the company said eXO is being developed in support of cabin systems for the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 MAX.
-- Rockwell Collins and Panasonic Avionics announced a new agreement to launch Voyager 3D, a new three-dimensional moving map application on touchscreen monitors.
Voyager 3D builds on Rockwell Collins' current Airshow Moving Map platform, integrating it with Panasonic's global broadband in-flight connectivity network. Passengers will be able to access live news, connecting gate information and social media networks.
The two companies did not announce a launch date for Voyager 3D.
-- SITA announced the pairing of its e-Aircraft Connectivity Services with Thales' GateSync, allowing Thales to deploy GateSync wireless ground connectivity service over SITA's satellite-based in-flight connectivity network.
GateSync is currently being trialled by LAN Airlines at Santiago Airport. The companies are collecting data from that trial to determine how to use the pairing to automate the labor-intensive process of retrieving and uploading large volumes of aircraft systems data across an entire commercial airline fleet.

Rookie Goalie Galloway Leads Rattlers to First Win
from press release
DENVER -- Led by a season-high 19 saves from
rookie goalkeeper John Galloway, the Rochester Rattlers (1-7) ended
their seven-game losing streak by earning a 9-8 Major League
Lacrosse victory over the Denver Outlaws (5-3) in front of 6,318
fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High on Saturday night.
Galloway, who was named as the Bud Light Player of the Game for his efforts, made 10 of his saves in the first half as the Rattlers held Denver to just three goals in the first half while building a one-point lead.
After the Outlaws took a 2-0 lead in the first three minutes of the opening quarter on goals from midfielder Nate Watkins and attackman Connor Martin, the Rattlers put together a three-goal run for a 3-2 advantage with 2:06 left in the period. Attackman Ned Crotty had a pair of assists during the run.
The teams traded goals in the second quarter before Rochester took a 5-3 lead on an unassisted goal by Crotty just 49 seconds into the second half. But, the Outlaws answered with back-to-back goals from attackmen Billy Bitter and Brendan Mundorf to tie the game at 5-5 with 5:08 left in the third quarter.
But, the Rattlers regained the advantage with back-to-back goals, including a two-point marker from midfielder Anthony Kelly, in a 25-second span for an 8-5 lead with 2:22 left in the period.
Trailing by a three-point margin, the Outlaws opened the fourth quarter with three straight goals to tie the game with 7:49 remaining in regulation. After midfielder Peet Poillon scored an unassisted goal, midfielder Steve Holmes followed by converting a Martin assist with 8:39 left. Less than a minute later, midfielder Bill McGlone tied the game with an unassisted marker past Galloway.
With 2:24 remaining in regulation, midifelder Jordan Levine gave Rochester a 9-8 lead when he scored his seventh goal of the season, an unassisted marker past goalkeeper Jesse Schwartzman.

Post Office hours cut at Franklin
FRANKLIN – About two dozen people filled the Franklin Fire Hall Tuesday afternoon to learn about the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plans to reduce retail hours at the local post office to four hours a day.
Trivonda Ray, USPS Operations Manager in Minneapolis, said the Post Plan to cut retail window hours to 8 to 10 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday gives communities the chance to keep their post offices instead of closing them.
"A year ago, we were having meetings about closing post offices," Ray said. "We learned that post offices are important meeting places in small towns and that people want them to remain open."
Ray said post offices are facing severe financial challenges and are not tax supported as some people may believe.
"We're facing cuts in personnel, maintenance and transportation costs," Ray said. "Executive salaries are frozen. Smaller post offices are getting seeing two, four and six hours of retail service a day as a way to save money."
Ray said postal customers are encouraged to do business online by visiting usps.com where they can buy stamps and deliver packages at lower rates than at a post office retail counters.
She said a recent post office survey mailed to 356 customers showed 133 (94 percent) of respondents favored (retail service) hour realignment, eight (6 percent) favored different delivery options and nobody favored a Village Post Office (retail window at another business), or a nearby post office option.
Saturday window service hours and delivery receptacle access will not change due to the hour realignment notice, expected to be posted online and at the Franklin Post Office within a week. The change is expected to take effect within 30 to 60 days after the notice is publicized.
Among those at the meeting was Rollie McGraw, who served as Franklin Postmaster from 1974 to 1999.
"Our post office still does a lot of business," McGraw said, after the meeting. "We've still got a telephone company, elementary school, insurance firm and nursing home here that generate lots of mail."

Just ask Ryan Leaf or countless other can't-miss prospects. Michael Vick is in the process of getting humbled. He was supposed to reinvent the position. I don't believe the position will ever be reinvented. The guys who have consistent success will always be the guys who prepare the hardest.
In the first team meeting after last season's 38-37 Rose Bowl win over Michigan, Young set a tone for the future. The mood was loud and light when he walked to the front of the room. Like a father setting his sons right, he made everyone sit up, take their hats off and listen to what the coaches had to say. The Rose Bowl was big but just a beginning, Young told them. "I won't accept what's good right now," he remembers saying. "I want us to achieve greatness." He continued to challenge his teammates over the summer, with a note on the locker room bulletin board: "If you want to beat Ohio State, meet me here every night at 7 PM for seven-on-seven." The turnout was faithful and focused. Many nights saw full 11-on-11 scrimmages.

Read the full articleGhana's Budget 2012: Is there cause for concern for the mining industry?March 2012The announced changes of the 2012 Budget give an indication of Ghana's drive to increase the contribution of the mining industry to tax revenues.While many of the changes will rightly concern mining companies operating in Ghana, the reality is that many have stability/development agreements with the government to protect against adverse consequences of newly introduced laws. Many of the provisions of stability/development agreements include concessions to mining companies on corporate taxes, windfall taxes, mineral royalties and property taxes. Essentially, these stability/development agreements could make the announced changes less effective.Read the full articleProposed amendments to the Burkina Faso Mining CodeMarch 2012The Government of Burkina Faso is currently considering amendments to the Mining Code (Law no. 0312003/AN dated 8 May 2003). A preliminary draft new Mining Code integrating proposed amendments has been circulated to the mining industry for its consideration and comments.This preliminary draft appears to be geared toward bringing clarity, correcting the flaws and better defining the obligations imposed upon mining operators, rather than constituting an in-depth reform of the industry. In addition, as currently proposed, the new Mining Code would preserve the validity of the existing mining conventions. Nevertheless, new obligations are proposed and some will affect even the operators who are party to an existing mining convention.Read the full articleNew Indonesian mining regulationsMarch 2012Significant recent regulatory developments relevant to the mining sector in Indonesia are examined in this article by Rick Beckmann and Ross Ramsay, both senior foreign legal counsel and by Susandarini, managing partner, Susandarini & Partners in association with Norton Rose Australia.Read the full articleCanadian mining company + Australian head office + Quebec local office + Congolese military conflict = Quebec jurisdiction over war crimes class action?Does a Quebec court have jurisdiction over a company incorporated under the laws of the Northwest Territories of Canada, with a head office in Australia and a local office in Quebec, in respect of alleged war crimes that occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the context of a military conflict between government troops and secessionist forces?

In a judgment issued on January 24, 2012, the Court dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction.Read the full articleConsolidation in the mining industry: Gathering momentum at last?March 2012The mining industry continues to go from strength to strength compared to other industries, as all economies face the challenges caused by geo-political tensions, the uncertain global recovery and the fallout from the global financial crisis. Commodity demand continues to be driven by strong growth in the emerging markets and strong investment demand for commodities such as gold. Supply constraints caused by lack of historic investment in exploration, the liquidity squeeze, rising cost base in the mining industry and, even, the fact that the world is actually running out of some commodities are starting to have an impact. The demand/supply equation continues to drive prices for commodities and as a result, the industry as a whole continues to go from strength to strength.Read the full articleUpdate on the status of the Guinean Mining Code and any contract review deriving therefromFebruary 2012In the February 2012 issue of Mining Journal, Dinara Dorizo, of counsel, Norton Rose (Central Europe) LLP discusses the unique aspects and steps involved in the successful acquisition of an asset in Russia whether by obtaining a mineral licence or by acquiring equity in a company which holds a licence.Read the full articleAntimonopoly law in ChinaFebruary 2012Since the Antimonopoly Law of 30 August 2007 came into force on 1 August 2008, China has quickly emerged as an important competition law jurisdiction both for domestic companies and for international businesses with activities in China.Read the full articlePNG Legal Briefing: Amendments to Environment Act 2000February 2012In January 2012, the O'Neill Government introduced a bill to repeal certain amendments made in 2010 to the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Environment Act 2000.

Now that you're a Girl Scout, let's have some fun and learn while doing it! Not only are the girls in this council successful cookie sellers, they have the benefit of some tremendous resources for programs. We are fortunate to have an excellent program team that puts together great programs and leverages many of the resources of the council footprint. I thought I would run through a few programs for girls to have some real fun with. It is important to register early since some of these opportunities will fill up!
Mobile - Scouting for Food - November 9 - we are partnering with the Mobile Area Council Boy Scouts of America to help feed the needy. This is one of the largest one-day food drives to help supply area food banks as winter approaches. Food is collected in bags and taken to area Greer's Markets. This is a great way to contribute to the community and earn community service hours.
Auburn - Thin Mint Sprint/Glow Run - November 2 - we have had successful Thin Mint Sprints around the council. This year the run/walk takes a new twist. It is a glow run, which is the new trend in the running world. It takes place in the dark, and runners/walkers will have the opportunity to participate in all sorts of glow fun! There's glowing fingernail polish, a glow tunnel, glow face paint, a tot trot and glow games. It's a great family fun opportunity to get some exercise and show off your inner glow!
Mobile - Kappa Delta Badge Day - November 2 - the KDs at the University of South Alabama are great role models for girls and host a badge day for girls of all ages to earn badge that reinforce becoming a girl of courage, confidence, and character. There are badge opportunities at every age level. The KDs spend a great deal of time on this opportunity and everyone I've talked to about this event says it has had the girls spellbound.
Troy - High Adventure at Camp Butter & Egg - November 9 - we are proud of our zip lines, but Camp Butter & Egg has climbing walls, climbing nets, double zip lines and a number of high-adventure elements to challenge even the most adept Girl Scout. Using this camp provides a tremendous opportunity for girls to put their skills to the test in a safe and friendly environment.
Montgomery - Zumba - November 16 - do you love to dance? Do you enjoy getting some exercise while making some great moves on the dance floor? Come to Zumba at the Montgomery Volunteer Center. Dance to the music with your Girl Scout sisters, have some fun and get that body moving!
Montgomery - Handmade Holidays - November 23 - the holidays are right around the corner. Do you prefer to give gifts that express your inner artist? Handmade Holidays is the girl event for you.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
Tomorrow my baby gets tubes. Possibly. I think. Maybe. Nov 30, 2008
#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O
Tomorrow my son, little baby "O" is due for tubes. TUBES. Internet, I have to tell you, this is possibly the best day of his life.
Or is it?
I'm scared. He has no clue. We're set to be at the hospital at 6:30 AM. Nothing to eat or drink from midnight on.
But, he's sick. He has another cold. He is snot and coughing and… well…. what d'ya know? He's digging at his ears again. Just like he always does when he gets a cold. Those damn ears.
My ears.
Apparently my sister was a tube baby. She was one handful before tubes. Tubes changed her life! Tubes let her hear! Tubes set her free from anti-biotics!
I know I know.
But y'all? My son? Is about to get put "under".
Scared is an understatement.
My son. My baby boy. My mister man. The one that goes, "ooohhhh!" when I show him.. well.. anything really. He's just so full of zest and life. Of love. Of joy. Without really any good reason, he can make me laugh.
I love him to bits over and back again.
So tomorrow, if the doctors think it's safe enough, they'll put him under and give his ears a break. If he can breath under the medicine. Under sleep. Under unconsciousnesses.
And if it's not safe enough? Well, I'm hoping and praying they make the right decision and send us home. Even if we wake the whole family at five AM. Even if we miss work a day for no reason.
I'm just begging that they do the right thing by my son.
My boy.
My little tiny mister man.
My life.
Thankful is an understatement Nov 26, 2008
In the words of my husband who wrote these down on a sticky note after hearing it in a song I cant' recall: "What I want is what I got and what I need is all around me."
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Dreams Nov 25, 2008
You know those dreams that are so real you remember them, feeling the aftermath, for hours/days after? Lately my sub-conscious has run amok with tails or the President (elect), a forced marriage and really hot men hitting on me.
See? Dreams.
Most of the time I don't analyze my dreams because it's almost always a combination of some spicy casserole + alcohol + being woken up at some-strange-hour by a screaming kid. Perfect recipe for delicious sub-conscious meals. But today's dream was both wonderful and disturbing. You'll help me analyze it, won't you?
:: lays on couch ala Therapy style ::
So I'm visiting an old old friend, I don't even recognize where we are except somewhere in Houston, back in our old neighborhood, in a school or church or library. We've been given tasks, I can't really explain what they are, exactly, aside form some sort of research. We're dismissed to research and I slam, face first in to the chest of a very attractive man.
"Excuse me" I mutter catching my breath.
He says nothing but nods out of the way.
I continue on to find my book and scribble something furiously before the timer goes off and we're forced to gather again in the main room.
The bell rings and everyone races to find a seat in the common room. Everyone, that is, except the handsome man. He's standing, slyly in the back of the room watching all of us act like bees.
Sitting, and exhausted, I close my eyes for a moment when the head person sits and starts explaining what comes up next. It's a teacher? A Pastor? I'm not sure but the voice is soft and soothing. I feel like I'm falling asleep until something calls me back. It's Him. He's standing in front of me and the touch of his finger on my arm makes me unable to breath. "Since you fell asleep during my instruction," he says softly, "You may make it up to me by taking me to dinner."
I forget how to breath.
He says as much.
I wake up.
I'd like to tell you that this man was my husband, but he wasn't. He was a cross between Denny (Grey's Anatomy Much?) and Edward (Twighlight Anyone?)
I'm pretty sure I'm so unoriginal that my dream is exactly that… dreams other people had, wrote about, showed on TV, and I'm re-incarnating it to my own fantasies.
As I type this a man, not my Denny/Edward mix comes up to me and starts hitting on me. No, I'm not shitting you. If I was shitting you I'd have made him handsome.
He's not, really. Not in a traditional "good looking" way but in a "I'm pretty smoozy and that's kinda gross" way. So, well, no, not at all. But he's always been nice when I ordered my coffee and he's so pleasant when I order non-fat and he says, "YOU don't need non-fat" and I laugh and he hands me my coffee and says, "Have a nice day."
So I smiled at him and said nice things but then glanced at this paper because Um.. I'm married.. and ... well… I don't want you to spit in my coffee so let me reject you nicely…
You're no Edward. Or Denny. Or Mr. Flinger.
Sorry this took some weird turns. Seriously, um, wasn't expecting to be hit on today. However, I AM expecting to get out of breath watching TWIGHLIGHT tonight so THAT is something.
Also, I don't know why I'd dream about hot men. This is my family. They're perfect. Complete with nut grabs and crazy Dad in the background.
Dressing Herself Nov 23, 2008
Clara's been dressing herself out of the laundry hamper as I'm folding clothes.
Today, she put on a hat. And her own shoes (on the right feet!). And my underpants as a necklace.
The 170 character tweet with a picture to make you feel better about clicking over here. Sorda. Nov 20, 2008
Today I woke up having not forgotten to email any clients, having not forgotten to finish anything and having slept all night long not up with a sick husband or kids or a the slideshow from hell.
Then I remembered sarcasm.
*My window today. Rain. Go figure.
Sometims Parenting Does Come With A Manual Nov 19, 2008
For a few weeks now The Little Man O screams in the car. We're talking ear-piercing, high decibal, painfully loud, "taking others down with me" screaming.
I'm sure you can imagine.
It finally hit me last night. The car seat! Oh Mah GAWD, it's the Car Seat.
I looked back at him pulling at the straps screaming. I went through my memories of him somehow managing to squirm out of those same straps, of him standing on the seat as I drove down the highway, and of him arching his back in defiance, which I thought was purely that, definace, when I placed him in the car.
Until I remembered the manual for the seat. Maybe it was page 12 or something but it said (and I paraphrase):
So today I pulled that little magic lever and VIOLA! Behold! The bucket seat transformed in to the properly adjusted forward facing seat it was intended to be.
And all was well.
Today's Parenting Tip Filed Under "read the fucking manual."

Brutally Honest Monday The Return Of The Long Sweater (or is it?) Nov 17, 2008
I'm famous in my circle for loving 1998. Look, 1998? It was good. There was Dave Mathews Band. There was grunge. There was boots and hiking and being fresh out of college.
I love me some 1998.
So, today when I donned on my long sweater/robe the mister glanced up in his usually uninterested-in-my-wardrobe way, I was suprised to see him eyeing me. "Hot, aren't I? Still got it!" I said as I slapped my ass.
"Uh, no, thkat's not it. That sweater? Isn't it a wee bit 1998?"
"No, it was more like 2000, thankyouverymuch. Jeeze."
Tells you what he knows.
So, Internet? Brutally Honest: Is this the revival of a fantastic ass-loving trend? Or am I abusing 8 years of fashion forward?
*Sorry about the lighting, why YES, I did take the photo in the starbucks bathroom. And for the record I have jeans (boot cut, tsk tsk) with ballet flats. I know. I know.

Seeking Simplicity Nov 12, 2008
#Balance#Depth and Faith#Life#Working Mom
My husband regularly tells me I am the most ADD person he knows. I tell him he doesn't know a lot of people. He tells me he can't know too many more people because I'm all the people he can handle.
Then he kisses me and slaps my ass in fun and turns on the TV.
Lately I've had this urge. I often get "urges" or "a bee in my bonnet" or "any sort of cliche you can think of here that is a nice way of saying totally lost my shit." Sometimes I crave my favorite city Bellingham. Sometimes I need to fly home to Texas. Sometimes I ache to hike or camp or kayak. But not in the way you think of a normal person missing things she used to do before kids. No, it's more like a lady with PMS being told chocolate is NOT AN OPTION and then watch the unleashed crazy in her eyes as she sits in front of Ghirardelli.
Lately, I've been craving a farm. Now, I am not a farm girl. In fact, I grew up in the suburbs of South Houston where every fifth house was the same and our grass was manicured to perfection with not so much a dog off leash. But as I drive to drop off my son at his daycare, I pass farms of cows and barns and sheep. We talk about the animals and the types of trees. We watch the horses. We say "Moooo" a lot.
My husband, on the other hand, grew up on 5 acres of land with a turquoise barn. He's talked about that barn and its role in his childhood as he and his brother jumped from the loft in to a pile of hay and spent hours hiding and shooting each other with pretend guns as cops and robbers.
It's hard to buck the years of habit in your life. It's nearly impossible to change a city girl in to a country girl, although Ree makes a convincing argument. My husband laughs as I talk about wanting a farm house. A barn. A BARN!
Finally after much discussion we found out it comes down to this: Simplicity. A symbol. That barn? It's real, but maybe it's not a barn, per say, but a choice. A lifestyle. A decision.
The sub-urban lifestyle of running to swimming, day care, meetings? It's not where we thought we'd be in our early thirties. It's our life, and we love our life, our jobs, our kids, our schedule. We're happy with extra-curricular activities and working out at the YMCA. We love our friends and our new towels and our fresh couch and granite counter tops. But there's something missing… something .... space? time? a yard? Or perhaps, a barn.
We want that life, the simple life, of kids running and jumping and going outside. Of teaching chores and life lessons. Of opening our curtains to see grass instead of twelve other houses. Of hearing frogs in the summer and the rain in the winter.
We're starting to crave simplicity and balance. Balance: The always sought after holy grail of motherhood. We're all looking for it.
For some reason, I think mine is in a barn.
A turquoise barn.
Tasstle Shoes, Plants, Dancing and how they all come together today Nov 10, 2008
I was 12 years old when my Mom gave me my first marriage advice. "Leslie," she said looking down at my perm and blue eye-shadow, "When you get married, be sure you look for three things in your husband. One, be sure he wears tasseled shoes. Two, be sure he has plants in his apartment. And three, make sure he can't dance."
I looked up at her in complete bewilderment. So she went on to explain:
The shoes represent someone with a conscience style and sense of self. Someone who has drive and motivation. Of course, back in the mid-eighties, tasseled shoes were the height of trend among successful mid-thirties men.
The plants represent a man who cares for other living things aside from himself. He takes responsibility and cares for others.
And finally, the one I was most confused about, the lack of dance ability. My mom explained that a "fast tawlkin' smooth dancin'" man wasn't the type that would settle down and raise a family. I would want a man who could stay home on a Friday and watch movies while kids slept upstairs. That I'd want someone who would be there with me when I was sick and not chomping at the bit to get out and party.
In essence, the fast dancer wasn't husband material.
I remember looking up at my mother and asking her if Dad met all three of those criteria. She thought carefully for a moment and said, "He doesn't have tasseled shoes."
I never forgot that conversation.
And so it was that a short year after these words were isssued, back in 1989, I met my husband. At the age of 13, I met the man I'd have babies with. The man who would take me to prom, twice, and then marry me in a dress that cost less than all our formal High School danced combined. A man who would break up with me, watch me grow, fall in love with me again and stay my best friend for 19 years.
It's a long story, ours is, filled with boring details about teen-age angst, being driven to dates together and first kisses. It's long and boring and complicated with other lovers and states of distance between us. It's mushy, filled with long phone calls and notes and sloppy poems.
It's our story, though. And we love our story.
Today we celebrate our seven year wedding anniversary. We joke, often, with other people about the 19 years that seal us together. The long sorted past of friends and lovers and time and growing up together. We laugh, nod, and shrug at seven years. "It's a drop in the hat" we joke. "We have 68 more to go."
And I love that we mean it.
Today I realize what my mother meant and I'm thankful that I listened to her warnings to my 12 year old self. I married a man who cares for other people and living things, our children, our plants, our home, our family and friends. Who cares for us all when we're sick or tired. Who stands beside us when we don't want to stand at all. I married a man who doesn't go to clubs or bars to watch the eye candy. I married a man who paints the entry with me on a Saturday night and giggles as we sing grunge songs from "back in the day" together. I married a man who curls up on the couch and lets me lay my head on his lap as we watch Grey's Anatomy, not because he loves the show but because I do. I married a man who comes home each night to his family, even as hard as that can be some days when the kids are screaming and the wife is crying.
The tasseled shoes? Well, I married a man who does not wear tasseled shoes but who has a drive to support his family and a goal that motivates him in his career and in his place in life. Those tasseled shoes represented something their own image would long outgrow. Luckily, the man I married grew as well. I guess we really do marry someone like our Dads.
And so it is, our story. Seven years after our small marriage at the top of Mount Constitution, I know we'd do it again. We'd choose each other all over again.
In fact, we do. Daily.

Live Blogging The Last Two Days Nov 03, 2008
Are you as giddy as I am? I'm completely unable to focus on nearly any of my other obligations. I've been trying to verbalize my emotions, to write with intelligence, to sit and really justify my logic and emotions and I can't.
I think I've come down with an Adult case of ADHD.
(I'm currently typing this as I run in place.)
(I'm kidding. But only slightly.)
I have to thank my friend Aimee for following up on my challenge that I issued here. Since I've failed miserably at MY OWN CHALLENGE, it's time I start updating, even if I have to do is as I go.
Join the ride. I'm just going to create my very own "open spewith of mah own brain" right here. And by my own brain, I mean lots of links and reactions to what's going on. I hope you find it entertaining. If you don't, I'm sure I'll mis-spell and probably incorrectly use punctuation and exclamation points (!!!) so you can always giggle at that.
On your mark.
Get set….
Oh! Wait, really quick, before I start (see? ADHD.. ohmygod.. shinnnyyyy thinnnggsss….) a picture from Halloween's trick-or-treating. Fun? Hellzya.
Guess who had more fun on Friday night?
///////////////// Live Blogging Updates Below ////////////////////////
1. The Economy
One of my main issues I wanted to tackle was the Economy. Since the recent admittance of Obama to "spread the wealth" something else came up just this weekend:
I'll take your input on this one. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that's wrong. Please?
I've heard clips of people praising Obama because they will no longer have to think about how to fill their gas tank or pay their mortgage. Unfortunately, you will. You still have the same responsibilities, we all do, that come with being an adult. I expect the same with either candidate.
2. Education.
I agree. We need a change here. I'm completely unwilling to place my child in a system built on "No Child Left Behind." But I want the choice of where to place my child in a system that best suits their own needs. "John McCain will place parents and children at the center of the education process, empowering parents by greatly expanding the ability of parents to choose among schools for their children. *" We don't need more money in a failing school system but a complete transformation including choices, vouchers and charter schools. Competition drives the economy to better itself. Safeway lowers prices because Krogger is across the street outselling them. They best themselves for your business. Schools can and should be options to fit children's needs. Some children won't learn in a classroom setting while others will thrive with the peer competition and support. I'd like to make that choice myself, though. For my own child.
///////// November 4th /////////////
I voted. I voted and I want to finish posting my reasons why. Because in the end, we're still going to sit and drink wine together. I just want to remember that I followed through with something today, something in the middle of every other thing. That I issued a challenge and I followed through, just like these fantastic people. Thank you for that.
Link Update: I'm following Dana's Live Blog today. Quite possibly one of the very best vocal conservative women online.
Here's a post about voting for McCain.
And, for those of you that don't know this about me, I'm a complete Northern Exposure fan. So much so, that our little blog name, Flinger, comes from an episode of NX. (There's a piece of Trivia for ya for another day.) So, with that bit of info, you'll not be shocked when I do the aboslutely expected and include a bit from "Democracy In America" episode 15, Season 3:

Undergraduate Program Overview
The Department of History offers programs of study leading to the B.A. degree, and the B.A. degree with honors. The department also offers a minor in history. Non-majors are welcome in all history courses, except where restrictions are noted, and often become enthusiastic, successful students of history while pursuing other interests. The history concentration is valuable not only for those considering the historian's vocation, but also for those pursuing careers in law, business, museums and archives, civil service, research and intelligence analysis, journalism, politics, and secondary school teaching.
The department also offers 17 clusters for non-majors that fulfill the social science divisional requirement in the Rochester Curriculum. These clusters consist of carefully selected sets of courses, and include both geographical (e.g., American history) and topical (e.g., War and Revolution) groupings.
The department offers a wide range of courses in its undergraduate program that encompass social, economic, cultural, intellectual, political, and psychological approaches to historical problems and periods. Most of our 100- and 200-level courses in the department are accessible to students with little prior knowledge of history. In addition, the faculty also offers 300-level seminars that explore more specialized historical problems. 200-level courses designated with a "W" and all 300-level courses fulfill the upper-level writing requirement.
Please talk to an adviser about designing your major program, about special opportunities in the major (honors, internships, etc.), and advice on further study and work after graduation.
Each student concentrating in history will select a faculty adviser, based on a student's particular interests in history and in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies. The adviser will help majors plan their programs. In addition, advisers can provide information on courses, on making changes to a major program, on special research and internship opportunities. See also the Honors Program and Internships and Careers links.

Richard D. " Dick" Bradley
SANDS TOWNSHIP, MI – Richard David "Dick" Bradley, age 72, of 416 North State Highway M-553, Marquette, entered eternal life Friday morning, February 8, 2013, at home, in the loving, comforting care of his family and Lake Superior Hospice.
Dick was born October 4, 1940 in East St. Louis, Illinois, a son of Fred and Frieda (Evans) Bradley, and raised in East St. Louis and Fairview Heights, Illinois. He entered the US Air Force, serving four years during the Vietnam Era, and met his future wife, Mary Lakenen, while stationed at K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base. On July 7, 1962 the couple was married at St. Louis the King Catholic Church in Harvey and later resided in Fenton, Missouri where Dick was employed as a machinist. In 1971, the couple relocated to Marquette and Dick began working for the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company, employed throughout the years at the Brownstone, Tilden, and Empire mines as assistant general foreman and maintenance supervisor, retiring in 2000. Dick was basically a family man who enjoyed and often instituted family gatherings. He loved to cook and the grandchildren eagerly looked forward to the special "poppa pancakes" he made for them. Dick liked to keep busy and always wanted some sort of project. So, whether it be building, woodworking, being on the pontoon boat, enjoying music, or going to camp with his family and friends, Dick was happiest when he could do something for and with family and friends. Last year, he and Mary celebrated 50 years of married life and celebrated the children they raised, the grandchildren they were proud of, and the friends they were blessed with. Dick was a member of St. Louis the King Catholic Church in Harvey and Richard Jopling Post #44 of the American Legion.
A loving husband, and best back seat driver, devoted father, proud poppa, and dear brother, Dick is survived by his wife, Mary; children, Lori (Rick) Carlson of Harvey, Lynda (Mike) Vacco of Blaine, MN, and Dave (Tammy) Bradley of Harvey; his grandchildren, Sarah Carlson, Nicole (Eric) Heidtman, Kaydee (fiance, Josh Jacobs) Carlson, Justin Fassbender, Courtney and Brooke Bradley, Brad, Michaela, and Ben Vacco; great – grandchildren, Joshua, Noah, and Bella; his sisters, Carol Sue Yates of Caseyville, IL and Dixie LePes of Milstadt, IL; brothers, Dan (Kim) Bradley of Richmond, VA and Steve (Debbie) Bradley of Flat Rock; several nieces and nephews, among them a special nephew, Terry (LuAnn) Layne of Naperville, IL. In addition to his parents, Dick was preceded in death by a brother, Mike Bradley and wife, Alma; and brothers-in-law, Bob Yates and Milt LePes.
The family will receive relatives and friends at St. Louis the King Catholic Church, Harvey, on Monday, February 11 beginning at 10:00 am. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 pm with Rev. Ben Paris, pastor, and Rev. Allan Mayotte concelebrating, assisted by Deacon David Adler. Dick's grandkids will serve as "poppa's escorts".
Veteran's honors will be accorded by Jopling Post #44 of the American Legion at the conclusion of mass. A reception will follow in Father Gauthier Hall. Spring burial will be made in the Sands Township Cemetery.
The Fassbender Funeral Home is serving the family, where condolences may be expressed online at www.fassbenderfuneralhome.com

I like room temp just so I can tell how "watery" it is or isn't.
It should really be a little bit colder than room temperature (otherwise, you'll be dealing with spoilage from the tomatoes if you don't use it all).
Never had any sauce problems either, even save some for days in fridge
