Hair loss.
Posted by Asfodeil on Apr 19, 2013
As you may know bay essential oil is one of the best products for hair. It make them shine and improves the growth by ameliorating blood circulation. Yes, it has got a very strong aroma, some people complain about head ache, also you've got to be careful and try it on your hand firstly: maybe you will get allergy reaction. I make oil pre-washing hair mask: any of neutral oil (coconut, avocado, sesame, macadamia, shea - whatever you have) and some drops of bay oil. I add 1 drop for 1 tb sp of neutral oil. After, you've got to warm this blend some more, take the vessel and put it in a boiling water. Now you should apply it on your hair and scalp. Use polyethylene film to keep your hair in warmness (I use blanket on film too). Relax for at least 1 hour (I got 3 or more), then take the blanket away and warm your hair under polyethylene film with hair dryer (5-10 minutes should be enough) and then wash this mask away. As a result my hair become so smooth and shiny I've never seen before. Also as a benefit I reduced my hair loss and got new hair all over the head.

This oil was purchased that would strengthen the hair roots. For some applications, I see that the hair actually became stronger, less falling out.

the best hair stimulating product on the market
Posted by ksju84 on Jan 13, 2014
this oil is the best hair stimulating product on the market, before washing your head just add a few drops of bay oil to the base oil like grapeseed, apricot, almond, avocado or any other that you have, put it on your scalp and leave for several hours, then wash your head, the smell is strong but not terrible, the results are very good so it's worth it, the hair is growing fast!

Let us know!
by Erika Marksbury
"It's so hard to know what's just a different way of living, and what
really is injustice," a friend said when we lucky six whom PTS's Field
Education Office had sent far away for the summer shared our stories.
Though she worked in Ghana and I in Kenya, my friend's words reflected my
own continuing struggle.
As she elaborated, my
mind traveled the few months and thousands of miles back to the first
mukalala (mountain) fellowship I attended as a Machakos Town Baptist
Church intern. Hiking up the mountain that rises to overlook Machakos
Town, past coffee plants and guava trees, chicken coops and grandfathers'
graves, we came to a concrete structure where a few mamas of the church
had gathered. We faced a roofless row of rooms with four openings along
the front, where tattered cloths hung as doors, hiding the cracks in the
floors and the fact that each room was an entire family's dwelling.
Dirty-cheeked children peered from behind the cloths, then stepped out
barefooted to join their mamas in greeting us. The women sat on the
ground, kids climbing into their laps, and waited.
I had prepared a message about Jesus healing the woman who bled for
twelve years. I had thought, having seen only a little of their lives,
that these women might sympathize with the painful struggle that leaves a
woman almost hopeless. But up on the mountain, I began to worry that maybe
the text was too real.
Maybe they would understand too well. And maybe I, a privileged girl
who has never been sick, not really, shouldn't be preaching it to Kenyan
women without roofs or soap. Because it cannot be said of these women that
their faith isn't enough to heal them, however you interpret that
statement by Jesus in the story. Each Sunday morning, lacking coins to
drop in the offering basket, they bring forward beans, oranges, squash,
whatever their garden yielded that week. They pray continually and rejoice
always. If there's faith strong enough to heal, it lives in these women.
But they're still sick….
I preached that text anyway. I didn't know what else to do.
Opening my eyes with the closing prayer's "Amen," I was surprised to
see the group had grown by maybe 10 children. They slipped in while our
heads were bowed and were grinning guiltily. Children sneaking into church
intrigued me. I wondered what had brought them, and if their lives were as
sad as the others gathered there. And then I saw Seth.
She took my hand, walked with me a few steps, and pointed through a
clearing to a place a little farther up, saying, "I live there, on this
Seth is only 10. She snuck in at the end of the gathering. She couldn't
have known what I'd been thinking. But just by appearing at that moment,
she undermined my assumptions about life, and those who live, on that
mountain. Seth is smart (tested fourth citywide for her grade level, she
told us proudly), healthy (with sparkling teeth and strength to outrun all
her peers), and happy, the very qualities I had assumed were missing from
the lives of those on the mountain.
As I turned back to the gathering, I tried to see it afresh—the dirt a
sign of play, the one-room houses a way for families to stay close, the
lack a freedom from which generosity flowed. I realized the children snuck
in because this is their community, where they want to learn about God's
love for them. And I was ashamed.
I had decided, before I heard the pastor translate their prayer
requests—"she asks to be healed of malaria"; "she asks God to rescue her
husband from alcoholism"; "she asks for just a little food"—that these
women and children were sick. I had made that decision the moment I
stepped into their space and saw that their lives were not as convenient
or clean or carefree as mine. I had named that difference injustice. And I
had pitied them for it. Perhaps worst of all, I had mistaken my own pity
for sensitivity, for awareness. Seth helped me to see that it was not only
the difference between those lives and mine that was unjust, but also my
analysis of that difference.
Of course, there is plenty in the lives of many Kenyans that is
horribly unjust—the fact that the woman with malaria won't receive
healthcare, for example, or that families live without roofs while their
leaders dwell in castles. But my pity doesn't do them any good.
Seth asked me that night, sweeping her arm to indicate the whole of the
mountain, "Is it like this in your place?" I told her no, not knowing
exactly what she meant but betting my answer was pretty safe. My place, my
life, is not like hers. Since returning, though, when I remember the dirt
and the fruit and vegetable offerings, I wonder if, at least in my own
little place, I could help to bring about justice by a different way of
living, more like life on that mountain.

I recently came back from NeoCon, the contract furnishings and interiors show held in the Chicago Merchandise Mart. Sure, with such a wide range of product offerings, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of seeing great color and design perfectly matched with functionality and performance. In flooring, we saw a lot of that.
To me, the most exciting part of the show was the enthusiasm that seemed present everywhere, from overcrowded elevators to temporary and permanent showrooms throughout the huge building. The other big change was the blast of bold colors that greeted attendees everywhere they went.
One marketer said that the difference at this year's show was the fact that designers were being more creative with their projects — in everything from a willingness to try new products, to more dramatic design concepts, and yes, those bright colors. As he noted, "Designers are back to 'wowing' their customers again."
Some smaller companies that have been in temporary spaces over the past few years have grown their booth size and have expanded their commercial offerings. They see where the market is headed and they are set on capitalizing on it. Crossville was one of those. With splashes of color everywhere, Crossville seemed perfectly in synch with the overall mood of the show.
Mannington was there in force, bringing its Amtico division to the forefront even if it meant cutting down on the number of company personnel in the space. Mannington came off once again as one of the leaders in this growth market. In fact, today, commercial represents the lion's share of Mannington's business, a transformation that has been years in the making.
There was a lot of new and interesting product. For example, Tandus showed what it is calling a resilient/nylon carpet hybrid product that was outstanding in design, in functionality and in its sheer design flexibility now that it is styled to coordinate perfectly with its LVT offering.
Shaw was there with its 12th consecutive NeoCon Silver award with innovative carpet tiles in new colors, patterns and shapes that managed to inspire. Beaulieu (under its BOLYU brand) also spread its wings, as did Mohawk with graffiti-inspired designs that flowed with color, pattern and texture.
In resilient, we saw Shaw take out a separate space. While still relatively small in resilient, Shaw has made huge inroads and was at the show to make a statement. There were too many standouts to cover them all here, including Metrofloor and USFloors, but it's safe to say that if you're doing any serious amount of commercial work, NeoCon is the show to attend.
There was also inspiration to be found in Tarkett's environmental approach with its focus on good materials good products, recyclability and healthy spaces.
So if its inspiration, new product, design, or just that wow factor, NeoCon is the place to find it all.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (46 votes).
In short: good route, very priceyDate of review: September 20, 2010
In short: A great day and more fun than I thought 56 miles would be!In full: It was a brilliant race and everything went like clockwork on the day, obviously helped that the weather was perfect.Great scenery throughout the day and great atmosphere between all the runners.I'd definitely recommend recee trips to get to know the route as there is a lot of potential to get lost.On the organisation front, all fine on the day but not exactly the finest stocked checkpoints and the pre-race help/info was dreadful.They are not very good at responding to queries and questions from participants.I've put it as one of my all time favourite races as it is my first ultra and it was brilliant.Date of review: September 14, 2010
In short: I loved this event. Great atmosphere and comradery from runners, organisers and various supporters along the way. Date of review: September 12, 2010
In short: Great race. First ultra for me but the navigation rather than the distance was the hard part! Well organised and very helpful competitors made it a tremendous day.In full: Make sure you can read a map! Really enjoyed the day, and the weather certainly helped. Terrain was varied but always manageable. 5 checkpoints along the way were all well-staffed and resourced - made it easier than carrying lots of liquid.Date of review: September 12, 2010
In short: What a race. Well organised and a great day. I was promised pain and got it...Date of review: September 8, 2010
In short: Great race with an amazing atmosphere.In full: Fantastic day due to the great friendly atmosphere amongst the competitors and helped by the almost-perfect weather even down to a light rain shower to cool us off. I never thought that I would enjoy running 56 miles so much!Date of review: September 6, 2010
In short: Cracking raceDate of review: July 6, 2010
In short: One of the True Greats: a really inspiring and challenging off-road ultra. Organisation was great, weather in '09 was glorious (though in '08 it was,er, challenging!). Great organisation and ever-friendly vibe Date of review: January 26, 2010
In short: Physically and mentally exhausing race but brilliant!Date of review: September 24, 2009
In short: Excellent race - but don't attempt unless you are reasonably confident of completing within the 13 hour deadlineIn full: This is one of my favourite races. A real challenge to navigate your way from London to Brighton. It is not for the faint hearted and some of the navigation was incredibly difficult (as woodland often is!).The support at the checkpoints and from fellow runners was great.My only criticism (sadly a very sriuous one) was the lack of concern /care for late runners.We only just got inside the 13 hour time limit, but several runners who we'd run with during the day were left out on the course and the organisers gave the impression that it was not their problem. Any organisers have a duty of care to all of the people running their race and this was sadly lacking at the finish. Perhaps they should be stricter on enforcing the cut-off points. It wasn't helped by the fact that the last leg was longer than advertised.I know it was a very long day for everyone involved in organising the event and I greatly appreciate the effort and thank you all for that.You have a great race but please think again about your management of late finishers.

Those look FANTASTIC! Burgers for dinner tonight...
Norma,Everything looks great. Can you summarize what lessons you have learned in using frozen dough? Also, at what stage do you put the dough balls into the freezer?Peter
I have a few more ideas of what to experiment with when using this frozen dough. Does any members have different ideas as what they might of tried for something different for using pizza dough?
Norma,If you combine a few Lehmann dough balls and bake the combined dough solid and rock hard, you will have a very nice doorstop. With your skills, I am sure that you can decorate it to fit any room decor. Or, if you form a thin skin and bake it without anything on it, you can make a Frisbee-like disc. You will have to be careful, however, if you have a dog retrieve the disc because the dog will find the taste so good that there may be some parts of the disc missing by the time it is brought back to you.Peter
Norma,The stromboli looks delicious. I know you were trying out the new cheese blend. Did you like it? And will it find a home at market?Also, now that you have made so many different things out of the Lehmann preferment dough, which would you say was your favorite?Peter

Maybe you loved it. Maybe you hated it. But Silent Soccer proved to be a huge success, and we can learn some great lessons to make our program even better and helpful to our children.
The bottom line is: "What is the best sideline behavior to support and develop our kids through soccer?"
Think about this: Parents and teachers do what they can to prepare for their children for tests, but once the test begins, we don't hover over their shoulder yelling, "pick A, pick C, the answer is 16, Gettysburg Address, etc" . Sure, with our help, they might get a better grade…hopefully…, but they wouldn't have to think at all and they would suffer from that. There is no difference in soccer. The kids learn in practice. The game is the test…albeit a fun test.
Great things we saw from Silent Soccer:
- It gave the kids a chance to just go out and play. Coaches and parents were not micro-managing and dictating every play of the game, so players were making their own decisions…right or wrong.
- We also saw players talking to each other more often and helping teammates out.
- No one screamed at the referees.
- Most importantly, the entire weekend, including an article in the LA Times, everybody was discussing appropriate sideline behavior and how involved should coaches and parents be during their child's sporting event. (see below)
Side effects we saw from Silent Soccer.
- The inability to cheer for great plays and goals was really no fun. Applause was nice, but left out the emotion of the sport.
- Coaches could not make minor change, such as player positions, or alter strategy.
- Games were a bit subdued because of the quiet nature of the game.
So What is "Appropriate Sideline Behavior" in Region 88
Overall, Silent Soccer made us all think a bit about our sidelines behavior.
One disturbing trend we did notice was the coaches/parents who WON were happy with Silent Soccer and they were proud as they believe they had fully prepared their teams to win. The coaches/parents who LOST usually felt like they had no control and if they could have been involved, their team "definitely" would have won. The truth is somewhere in between, and Silent Soccer gave us the opportunity to remind us that AYSO really is for the kids, and we need to look deep and see if how we act is really best for our children.

Reviews of this property
This place S.U.C.K.S. the cat was jumping on my bed, the "fantastic sea view" on the bosperus is only visible out of a room where there is always someone sitting, the room were you sleep has no windows - 0 points out of 10... :-(
Staying with Alanur was great. She was very welcoming and happy to have a guest on her place. Alanur was helpful and knoweladgbe about things to do in Istanbul. Her place is in a great location and very close (1 minutes walk)to public transport which makes getting around both cheap and easy. The view from her place is incredible and really is something. Alanur was friendly and helpful throughout my stay and even beyond my stay lending me her coat as I went ona 3 day tour during the winter time in which I was a little unprepared and underpacked for the cold. I would highly recommend staying with Alanur both for her place and as she is a great host and if I ever visit Istanbul again I will be sure to stay with Alanur again.
Alanour ıs very very frendly ıts a bıt , ı stay thehre just one Nıght ıf you vısıt Alanour you dont need to go to Galatasaray
I recomande this accomodation with great views, warm and friendly hostess white cat. The advantage of the apartment is its proximity to Kabatacs and calm.
Je recomande cet hebergement avec vue magnifique, hôtesse chaleureuse et sympathique chat blanc. L'avantage de l'appartement est sa proximité de Kabatacs et son calme.
Alanur was a friendly and helpful host. From the apartment all the city's attractions are within easy reach.
Alanur war eine freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Von der Wohnung sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt gut zu erreichen.
Fantastic location and so easy to find. I was a single traveller and first time to Istanbul. The room was great and really comfortable. Alanur is very lovely and a wonderful host.
A big thanks to Mrs. Alanur I just felt just comfortable. This experience I will never forget and would book each time. See you soon Elem
Einen Großen Dank an Frau Alanur ich habe mich einfach nur wohl gefühlt.
Diese Erfahrung werde ich niemals vergessen und würde jede Zeit wieder buchen.
Bis bald
Alanur is a lovely host - I was travelling alone, and it was a real pleasure to be in a place that was so welcoming. Both Alanur and her assistant Fahid went out of their way to help. They both always had a smile. Alanur showed me places of interest too and was very generous with her time. The flat itself is in a great place, near both the metro and ferries so brilliant for getting about more-or-less anywhere. There are shops, some cafes/restaurants very close by so it was easy to buy food (she let me have full use of the fridge) and to eat out close by. The room is as described in previous reviews. The views from the living room are amazing, and I was always welcome to sit there in the evenings. I had a lovely time - thanks.
I can only say positive comments about Alanur and her associate Fatih. They greatly helped to make my stay a most positive trip. They hosted me beyond the call of duty.Her apartment does require steps to reach the elevator, but the daily exercise didn't hurt. Her friendly smile and upbeat attitude appeared daily. The view is indiscribably fantastic and the location was perfect for transportation to all the major attractions. This apartment is perfect for a single traveler. When I return, I would definately book again.

A really beautiful flat with a lovely host. The room itself is OK, except that there really isn't anywhere to store your clothes, so you will be literally living out of your bag. The room itself is used as a storage room, although it has a wardrobe, but which is not for personal use. Alanur was lovely enough to let me make use of some of her possessions outside of the room, which was very helpful, as it was something she didn't have to do. The flat is used as an office/living space so do bear this in mind. Also, I personally found it very difficult to locate a nearby supermarket, so I had to go out to eat for every meal. There wasn't anywhere close by where I could buy breakfast cereal for example.
Also, Alanur has a couple of cats who are harmless and well trained, but the dodgy nature of the door to the room means that they might creep in when you are not there. So just bear this in mind.

Having conquered hearts in the United Kingdom throughout 1963, The Beatles set their sights on the world in 1964. They started it with concerts in London and Paris, before making history by conquering America in February, appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show before an estimated 73 million viewers.
They followed up their Stateside triumph with a world tour, numerous interviews, television appearances and new recordings, and starred in their debut feature film. And despite their whirlwind schedule of touring and studio sessions, the soundtrack to A Hard Day's Night turned out to be one of The Beatles' strongest long-players.
The album was recorded over nine non-consecutive days, between January and June 1964. In between the sporadic sessions The Beatles fulfilled their touring and filming commitments, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney writing some of their strongest songs to date.
What's more, The Beatles refused to take the easy option and delve into their Cavern Club-era songbook, selecting some of the numerous cover versions in their repertoire to pad out the original compositions. A Hard Day's Night became their first album to consist solely of original material, and was The Beatles only release to consist solely of songs written by Lennon-McCartney.
The title of A Hard Day's Night had been coined by Ringo Starr, and first appeared in John Lennon's short story Sad Michael in his first book In His Own Write.
When film director Richard Lester announced it would be the title of The Beatles' first film, Lennon took up the challenge to write the theme song. At the time he and Paul McCartney were in competition to write the group's singles, and Lennon was entering a particularly productive songwriting phase.
The genesis of the song was later recalled by Evening Standard journalist Maureen Cleave, who was a friend to The Beatles.
Lennon was the sole composer of the title track, along with I Should Have Known Better, Tell Me Why, Any Time At All, I'll Cry Instead, When I Get Home and You Can't Do That. He also wrote the majority of If I Fell and I'll Be Back, and collaborated with McCartney on I'm Happy Just To Dance With You.
McCartney's contributions to the album were hardly slight either: his highlights were the classic ballads And I Love Her and Things We Said Today, as well as the single Can't Buy Me Love.
A Hard Day's Night is one of only three Beatles albums to contain no lead vocals by Ringo Starr. The others are Let It Be and Magical Mystery Tour.

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.
Summer in Seattle Jun 20, 2012
Seattle is the abusive boyfriend I just can't quit. Most of the time he's a complete dick. He's moody, reclusive, a complete downer. My inner "solar powered unicorn" dies a bit every day I wake up and look outside. "Um, rain and clouds again, Dick?"
Then, just when I'm starting to get the courage to really leave him for good, he pulls out his best charm. The mountains are visible. The sun peaks in the window at 6AM gently nudging me awake. He tells me I'm lovely and he woos me again. Everything is shiny and bubbly. He brings me flowers. He kisses me on the cheek with warmth.
I remember a real estate lady telling my friend V when she was looking at moving up from California, "It's not lovely a lot of the time but when it is? It's amazing." I used to tell my friend she was "sun entitled" because she would actually STAY INSIDE on a sunny day. "Oh, no, here we don't do that. People call in sick. There are accidents on the freeway because of the sun. We slow down over bridges to look at the mountains."
It's true. Looking at the mountain on my way to work, I soften a bit, second guess my ability to leave. I nearly forget, in just a day or two, how miserable my boyfriend makes me on a daily basis.
Seattle? I quit you. I love you. I want to have your babies. I want to leave you.
But thanks for showing me your pretty side today. It was just in the nick of time.
Based On A True Story. Or Not. Apr 27, 2012
I'm sure you've read this story. Like a lot of the trends in the world I tend to be one of the last to catch up. So when I saw the picture of the black lab sleeping on a sofa with a heart felt story attached, I read it.
I'm a sucker like that.
I read the entire post*. I teared up at the end. It was a lovely story, I had to share this. I clicked "Share" when I realized I should check my facts first.
One google search and I found out this wasn't a true story at all.
At first I was mad. Mad at Deb Green, whoever the hell that is, for posting a picture that probably wasn't even the dog in question. I was furious at the 460 other people who shared this on Facebook without even looking to see if it was real.
Then I asked myself, "Does it matter?"
How often have I written about my life and taken wide liberties with the facts? I use the tagline "Based on a true story" because I need people to understand that I WRITE. I'm not always factually recounting information in a "what I did today" fashion. Most often I use real stories from real experiences with real emotions attached. Sometimes, though, I take a bit of leeway with the timeline, with the specifics. Maybe that story didn't happen yesterday, maybe it was last year and I just remembered to write about it. Maybe I write in a way I want to remember, not in the way I actually experienced it. This is difficult for those in my life to reconcile. Often the people closest to me can not read my blog because it is too painful to read how much I enjoyed myself in Germany when I would call crying at least once a week.
But I do not want to remember how I cried in Germany, and I do not want to dwell on the things that I can not bear to make public. When I write my famous book** about my white bread life, I will open up to the reader and pour myself as an exposed vessel. Here, in the ever-changing dynamic life of a blog, whose comments are emailed directly to my phone giving me immediate feedback on exactly what the anonymous reader thinks, I protect myself behind a veil of stories. Of author liberties. Of the written word.
I thought of this as I removed my shared post of "Reggie the Lab" from my Facebook wall. I didn't want to look like an idiot duped in to a story that circulated the email chain 3 years ago. I didn't want to make other people cry over a false, although lovely, tale of service and love. But I also didn't want to judge the person for having shared such a story or myself for crying at it: after all, it was a lovely story.
So what if we find out life isn't exactly as we think we experience it? Isn't the fact that we experience it at all sort of the point?
*You can read the entire letter about "reggie" here.
** Yea right. Famous book. PSHAW. No, seriously, I'm writing about my white bread life in the hopes of having it published for sleep study patients. Sometime to fall asleep to, Amen.
Perception is NOT reality Apr 26, 2012
My young son, mentioned previously, reminded me last night of another story I keep forgetting to tell you.
He reminded me, as I lay him down in his twin bed, tucked him in, sang him a song, and promised to come back after reading to his sister, about this time I did not come back to check on him. In fact, he reminded me, I left him alone in the house for a very long time; a very long time while I was at the bus top. Did I remember that? he asked. Yes, I replied, I did.
My daughter was in first grade, last year, and I had my tiny three year old son at home with me. He fell asleep in my bed during nap time, one of my favorite memories of our times at home in the afternoons. He slept so well I did not want to wake him at 3:15pm when the bus normally comes around the turn to drop off my daughter.
We were new at this routine. I was working at home, my daughter was in a new school (elementary!) and my son was still young enough to need naps and home time and not preschool every day.
We were also new enough to the neighborhood that nobody really knew us yet.
We live on a fairly steep hill without a sidewalk, too steep for my liking to send my oldest born to or from the bus stop a quarter mile away on her own. I watched the clock near the time of her arrival and panicked as my tiny son remained still, breathing heavily, slightly sweaty in bed. I could not arouse him, aren't we taught that? The creed of every parent? DO NOT WAKE THE CHILD. I did not dare.
But as the bus came closer, I knew I had a decision to make: Leave the youngest to meet the older one at the bus stop? Or wait at the top of our hill here, at my driveway, for her to come to me?
I stood at the driveway at 3:10. I watched. I waited. My young son slept.
Near 3:30 I begane to panic. I walked to the bus stop to look for the other children wondering if I'd miss the bus's arrival. I waited and waited, glancing up to the house every few minutes and back around the corner for signs of the other children. I saw nothing.
Fifteen more minutes drew on. The bus is sometimes late but never, surely, THIS late. I ran up the hill toward my house in fear. Did I miss the bus? How long had my tiny young son been sleeping alone? Had my daughter tried to walk up before I was out there, surely five minutes or more before I needed to be, and been picked up by a stranger?
It was a no win situation and lose I did. My tiny son sat, bawling, at the bottom of the stairs. "I did not find you!" he wailed when I rushed back in the house. "Oh, buddy, oh buddy, you were asleep. I went to pick up your sister. Oh I was right here for so long, here, at the bottom of the driveway. I was here, waiting for your sister, letting you sleep, safe in our house. Oh, buddy." He sobbed and explained his fears. "You were gone! I looked every where!" No, I was here, I was here. I was thinking of you, I was watching the house, I was waiting for your sister, I was….
It did not matter. To my son I had abandoned him. I grabbed him, hugged him, and decided one thing must have happened: My daughter walked to her friend's house without telling me.
After comforting my son, crying alongside him, and reassuring him I would never ever truly leave him, we got in the car and went the three-quarter mile to our friend's house where I was hoping my daughter would be. My heart raced at the thought of anything else as my traumatized son sat in his car seat kicking happily at the back seat sucking on a sippy cup of milk.
She was there, I found out, at the table, eating a snack and playing. I was furious and relieved. I was heart broken and happy. I could not believe an afternoon of "being with the children" could have turned out so wrong. I gathered her up, telling her to always come home, I will be here, if I do not say otherwise. That I had waited at our driveway for twenty minutes and the bus stop for fifteen. "Oh," she shrugged, "we were early."
That day I struggled as a working mom who wanted to be with her children that afternoon. I wanted my son to sleep. I wanted my daughter to be safe on the road to our house. I wanted to be here for them both and instead I failed. My son, to this day apparently, reminds me of this trauma and I know, for a fact, the other mothers in our neighborhood see this as a failure of parenting. How could I not have been on time to meet my daughter? What is it that I could possibly do that was more important than being there for her at the bus stop?
I think of this as my son, a year and a half later, reminds me how I left him. This, I think, this is why I did not get to the bus earlier. This is why I look like a bad mother: because I had a tiny boy sleeping in my bed and I hoped beyond hope to not have to leave him alone. This, I think, is the conversation I hoped to avoid. "No, buddy" I reassure, "I will always come back for you. I promise."
And I always have.
Perception is Reality Apr 17, 2012
"I'm mad at Miss Teacher. She always makes me come in from the rain last."
I look at my young son. He turns five in a month. F-I-V-E. He is timeless like my sister, always thousands of years younger than reality. He has ideas now. He has opinions. He is wrong a lot.
"I don't think that sounds right, Buddy." I look at him in the rear view mirror. "No! It is! I was upset because my best friend gets to come in and shut the door and I have to stand out in the rain. Miss Teacher said that I have to be last and I have to stand in the rain before I come in."
Obviously I know this is not right. It can't be. This same teacher he is speaking of is the one who soothes my young son when I don't meet his unrealistic expectations of picking him up every day right after lunch. She's the one who tells him I am at work, I still love him, but I will come as soon as I possibly can. She's been in our lives for five years now: two children through preschool. She knows us. We know her.
She'd never make my son stand in the rain last.
But the story is repeated over and over. "NO! She SAID I had to stand in the rain while everyone else came in! She lets us all come in at the same time on a sunny day. But not when it's raining!"
I sigh.
Suddenly I remember my boss from a few jobs back: it's been twelve years now. TWELVE YEARS. I hardly believe it. His words still ring in my ears at times, "Perception is reality!" he used to tell us.
He was speaking as a services manager. If the client perceives a problem as urgent, their reality is such that it is urgent regardless of what we know is fact. As technical minded people, we tend to look at problems as a flow chart: There's no judgement, there's no feeling. It is a flow chart of yes and no: Does your computer turn on? Are all the cables plugged in? Can you ping google? These are things people don't think of. Instead, people think in terms of their own reality: "MY PAPER IS DUE AT 1:00 AND MY MACHINE IS BROKE."
It's not really reality, but it is their perception of reality and so, in essence, it is reality.
I reflect on this as my young son tells me of his reality. It's so far from actual reality. It's not anywhere near truth. It's so far from factual. But to him, it is his life.
Children are so great at teaching us a million things: They teach us to wash our hands because they come from a daycare/preschool of people coughing. They teach us to appreciate our lives because change happens before we can even quantify it. They teach us to laugh because we forget too often how funny farting is.
But children are really terrible at one thing: Seeing the world the way an adult sees it. And maybe that's not even a problem. Maybe the real trouble is that we, adults, can't see the world more like a child can. But if some bitch was telling me to stand in the rain while everyone else went inside I'm sure I wouldn't just say, in a calm voice later, "I'm mad at Miss Teacher."
Maybe their world isn't so bad after all.

How I got here in the first place Mar 30, 2012
#Travel#Life#Best Of#Working Mom
Kids, I'm going to tell you a story*. This is a story about how I ended up sitting in an office outside of Nuremberg in a tiny town called Erlangen, Germany, which happens to be less than an hour's drive from where I was made. It's a true story.
I get this question a lot lately, "What do you DO now, exactly," and I can not answer in full. I work on demos for automotive software companies. I create websites, mostly front-end now, for larger companies that know more than I do. I help organize strategies for content management, marketing communications, branding and messaging. I travel to a lot of amazing places and I meet a lot of amazing people. My job does not suck. I can tell you that.
This particular story happens in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I was working with two automotive software companies. For one, I was finishing a demo on a mobile device, let's call it the iPad, for their sales and marketing team to show Ford, Audi, VW and Toyota. And the other, let's call it Big Awesome German Company, I was helping out with branding and messaging and content strategy. That is to say, I was at CES for work and I got to party with some really awesome companies.
Like Microsoft, for example.
I ended up, not so much on accident, at the Microsoft party at CES. I asked a co-worker there to watch my drink: A gray goose and diet. She promised to do so as I went to the toilets. However, since I ended up meeting four people on my return, when I arrived back to the bar I looked at her quizzically. "Um, where's my drink?" She glanced over her shoulder, "I gave it to This Guy since you took so long to get back." "Uh," I stammered, "Who is This Guy? HE owes me a drink."
This Guy smiled and said Hallo.
A German! Oh but I love the Germans!
"Hallo!I" I said. "You owe me a drink!" "Ah, sorry, yes, I will get you one. Gray Goose and Coke?" "Ya," I replied using my third word in German. He ordered and turned back to me. "Who do you work for?" I asked. He told me EB. I said, "AH! I am going to work with EB! She" I pointed to the girl I worked with, "is going to hire me to do your website!" "Ah," he said smiling, "I am her boss."
I recounted this story the first night I was in town at dinner with my boss, her boss, and a few others of our team.
HIs response? "Did I get you a drink?" "Yes," I laughed as the team went red on my behalf. "Would you like another?" he asked.
And so it is that I sit, right now, next door to This Guy. It's funny, in a way, how life works. The more myself, the more awkward and ridiculously open I can be, the more in line with my destiny I feel I become.
Let me tell you about the time I met my ex-boss on the Internet. That's a good story, too. But for now, I will say this: If everything happens for a reason, and god we have to hope it does, then even a gray goose and coke can seem trivial, but it's not.
*Sorry, I've been watching a lot of "how I met your mother" lately.
** Updated photos from my day trip to Munich. More on this later.
Because this is exactly what I'd expect to see while looking for the train station in Munich. The Man In The Mirror.
I saw a guy get off his bike and head in to this "Thai Massage" place. Totally know what he's getting in there.
In a (german) nutshell: a day Mar 26, 2012
You know those days where you forget to eat for about six hours and by the time you realize it you swear your pants are already a size bigger and you must surely look anorexic or vitally ill or, say, like Angelina Jolie but without all those kids or Brad Pitt? And then when you're in the REWE supermarket you catch a glance of yourself from the side in the fridge isle and realize you could probably stand to go another ten days plus six more hours without eating but damn those sausages look tasty.
Yea, that.
I'm not too proud to tell you I stood for about ten minutes in the Suppe isle today. Or that I happened to get about ten packets of soup mix because HOLYLOVEOFGOD the Germans have a lot of packages of soup mixes. I think I purchased a lovely mushroom spice for which to make mushroom rosetta with if I get get the ingredient right (I have the rosetta, mix, and vassa so I think I'm covered?) and a few others for making sauces (for the aforementioned sausages). I also found some Muesli (which in German means 'Health Nut') with chocolate and seeds. I'm so all over this.
I can also share with you that today I had to use google translate to see what the message on my German phone was from Telekom. I felt so "Christmas Story" with the Ovaltine Decoder. I couldn't wait to see what my message was only to find out it was an advertisement for getting more minutes with the SIM.
Like it would be a secret admirer or something. heh.
I stood at the bakery this morning stuttering out my order for a "Große Cappuccino und Ei Sandwich bitte," when a lovely lady next to me says, "LESLIE! Oh hi!" I am still amazed I would know anyone here and even more so when they start the conversation for me. I said hello, it happened to be the gal in charge of getting me here and home, an admin at work, and we had a nice chat as I stammered in my broken german just enough to get a receipt and laugh, "Thank you for breakfast," to her. I then biked in to work holding my cappuccino in my take-away cup and my bagel in my backpack.
But even still, with all of these experiences that I adore, places I get to see, people I run in to, there's an emptiness that only a working parent can feel. I'm unaccustomed to coming home to silence. I'm lost without small articles of clothing to wash. I can't stand to go a full day without seeing their small faces and hear their goofy voices. Even today, when my 7 year old was having a bad morning, I took comfort in helping her shake out of it by laughing and playing with her on Skype. I can't imagine traveling before the Internet and Skype and FaceTime and video Chats. It is how I've survived.
People at work ask me about my family and if I'm homesick. "Yes," I say honestly, "Of course. But I think day 10 was the most difficult and now I know every day is closer to me going home and I have only five days to see this site and get my work finished and write during sunset with white wine and a chocolate mouse." The children tell me not to leave for this long again and I remember my life is not my own. It is theirs, too. I promise them to take them with me next time and show them all I've seen. Every corner I bike I take note to remember to tell them all they will explore. I plan on their return and I know it will happen. I will share this with them and they are beyond fortunate to get to Germany before they are 35, before their childhood dreams are long past due before it is proper to try so hard to pursue them. I don't tell them this, instead I play with them, with a moose, on Skype, and we giggle and laugh and we find the harmony we need to make it another 22 hours before we do this again.
Then we count the days.
The days are disappearing. As excited as I am to get home I'm just as excited to get back. It's a strange feeling to have such a belonging in more than one place. Riding my bike to the bakery, to work, to the shop: I'm learning secrets about living here. I've learned that it cost one Euro to get a cart at the shop so don't bother, to always bring your own bag because there isn't such a thing as "paper or plastic", how to get my bra to dry in one day by air. These are important facets of life here and you only know them by experience.
It's not that it's all rosy, mind you. I work 15-17 hour days. I get up early, I peddle to the bakery, I peddle to work and lose time until I'm forced to leave because the market will close and I won't eat if I don't leave RIGHT NOW to get some salad so I can keep working at home. I say this because I focus on the positive. I love it. I thrive on it. I am using it to keep me going. I ignore the loss of hair, the extra wrinkles, the stress and pressure. I'm not writing about that because you don't want to know about it. It's hard. It's tough. I'm pushed and pulled and ultimately, at times, breakable. But at the end of the day, I sit and think about how thankful I am for it all.
As much as I want to share this with my children, for now I will wait. Instead I will have a dancing moose "Ebert Baüsen" or "EB" for short, to help them cope with this long separation, one I know they'll forget before next month. For now, this is ok. We can be silly. We can share our morning dance. I hope they will be here to see the Suppe isle, the beer gardens with playgrounds. For my six year old self, for my thirty-six year old self, for my seven year old daughter, I hope we all return soon. Because ultimately, in some strange strange way, this will be part of me. Forever.
On the discipline of being alone Mar 24, 2012
Today I biked 15km to town and 15km back. It was sunny most of the way, lovely really, if we don't discuss that bitch of a hill on the north side of town. I had a lot of time while peddling to think about life. I'm sure it's what most people would do while cycling past farms and horses and old men with bread in their baskets.
There is a discipline to being alone. I understand now how monks taking a vow of silence have a strong will. To not communicate with people around you, to be shut off verbally, to be emotionally isolated even while surrounded by people, is difficult at best. I think this as I peddle to Der Beck near work. It is closed and I'm unable to ask when it opens again. I read the sign but I'm fairly sure it says it's open Sunday through Saturday. Or Monday through Friday. Or maybe it's Friday through the third week of the month on odd years. I have no idea. It is, obviously, closed now so however much I am craving a cappuccino I'm basically screwed.
So I continue to peddle.
I go the same route to Nuremberg that I've travelled before. I am thinking of how lucky I am, even as my stomach growls, to know this route. How every experience adds upon itself and stacks up to a new attitude of living. I am thinking this as I fly past a young man running on the trail. I recognize him, laugh softly, and as I pass I wave and yell, "HALLO!" to the intern that sits in my office. He laughs, waves back and says, "oh! HA! you!" I smile, continue to peddle, and think how random the universe is that I'd find a single person I actually know in this entire place of words I don't.
I end up eating at a cafe I see randomly connected to a car dealership. It is halfway to town and I'm famished. I order in broken german, pathetic at best, and smile and nod and try to be as polite as possible when I get something correct. "Ya! Vassa! Ya!" I am excited to actually end up with the food I was wanting and sit quietly with my Kindle to read. It is almost a relief to see English words that I don't have to translate on the screen. My mind eats up the structure of the language.
I pull in to town a half hour later and find it bustling. People are everywhere, eating ice cream, shopping in the market, dragging children to this place or that. I spend the afternoon among strangers. I hear exactly seven Americans and smile as I listen to a language I understand. It is so easy to speak this way, I think. I wonder if one day German will come as naturally and I vow to make that happen.
It is easier in a tourist place to be an English speaking person. I find a few people who understand me and offer kindly the proper words in German as I struggle. They speak English back to me and we both try on the other's mother tongue. I find a seat outside and drink a latte in the sun. A German couple sits at the table with me as there are very few seats. It's what you do in Europe: You share your table. There is not as much space here as there is back home. There are a lot of cultures, languages, people all in a small area and they accommodate each other by offering up chairs, the other side of the table, or a menu. I am happy to have them sitting with me even if I do not understand them or know them. It is comforting to be at a table with other people although I'm not sure why this is.
After purchasing a few gifts for family, I grab my bike and take the 15km back. I stop at the store near my work to get a few things for the weekend: food, dish soap, laundry soap. I know tomorrow I will wash my clothes in the sink and lay them on the radiator to dry. I will go to the bakery before 11 when they close on Sunday. I will take photos of the Easter trees in Erlangen. I will speak to no one. I will be lucky to find anyone who would understand me. I think of this as I sit in my quiet tiny apartment alone. I am not a monk but I rarely talk. It is something I take for granted at home and it's teaching me the value of language. Of being emotionally available. Of connecting to people close to you or strangers you will never see again. I am learning the discipline of being present. Of not escaping to some place comforting. Of doing the difficult thing. There is no other choice here so I can not take the easy way out. I am forced in to a space I am not comfortable with and as hard as it seems at the moment, I am thankful for this time. My legs are aching with happiness as I sit and sip a glass of white wine and watch the sun set over this tiny German village. I have so much to say. And yet, in silence, I sit and sip and appreciate.
The stars at night are big and bright Mar 19, 2012
I'm a native Texan. That is to say, my mother went through 48 hellish hours of labor (thanks, Mom!) so that I could be born in to this world, and the place she endured said pain is Texas City, Texas. She told me, when I was little, she choose that particular place for me to be born because it was easy to remember. Also because she had flown from a town very difficult to say correctly (Bayrouth, Germany) and it made a lot more sense, what with my dad loving Texas and all. I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in between those tall tales and the one where my Grandmother happened to live near a hospital in Texas City, Texas, at the time and my mother and father needed a place to stay after returning to the states from many years over seas. I come from a long line of story tellers
I am sitting now under the starry night looking directly at Orion's belt. I am drinking German beer, not because I found it at the local World Market, but because it came from the (supermarket) two blocks from where I sit. There is a church tower around the corner that dates from 1591. I am in Nuremberg. Or Nürnberg, if you're a local. I hear the Germans on the street below and I am surrounded by the fresh smell of my laundry, the only hint of home that wafts in the dark in the breeze.
I am oddly home.
I have a sense of nostalgia here. It's as if I've lived this life here, or one very similar, in other times. I am lost, in present day, unable to fully communicate except with broken pieces of German. It's comical, really, when someone walks up to me and I say, "Hallo!" and they say, "Hallo," and I exchange light talk, "Gruße Grote!" They begin to ask a question and I shake my head, "um.. uh.. er… uh, do you know English?" They laugh kindly, either nodding yes or no, and we smile awkwardly as I admit I am not really from here however much I sometimes forget that fact.
Except that I can never forget that fact.
The cashier at the cantina at work asks me in German what I want to eat. I make weird faces and motions with my hands saying something about Salad and Veggies and No More Bread For The Love Of God and she hands me a lovely sandwich on a thick roll with meat and cheese. I smile, say "Danke" and offer her my cash. She smiles back, say Bitte, and I am on my way to another ten pounds.
This same conversation happens fourteen times a day.
I manage around town on my bike, a borrowed vehicle from a local friend. I am thankful, a thousand times thankful, for my local friend who not only speaks English but also four other languages and has a love of pasta. This means we eat a lot of Italian at real Italian places most of which the cooks speak only Italian and hit on women like a dog on salami.
I marvel at how far I can bike. I breathe heavily as I bike the 12km from Nürnburg to Erlangen where the office is. I arrive breathless and sweaty and I smile as I enter the building, like this is a normal day for me: Just another commute to the office via bike in the villages of Germany. I mean completely nothing special. At all.
Except oh, even the horses here speak German.
I breathe deeply the air, the coveted Nuremberg air, the German-ness (if I may) of the whole experience. How I rarely understand a conversation, how lost I am daily, how nothing is open on a Sunday except two cafes, non of which serve alcohol or protein. But it has been a week now, an entire week of my living here, and I already appreciate what I heard my father saying to me so many years ago. "Oh, Leslie," he would reflect when I was old enough to listen, "the Germans. GOD BLESS 'EM. I love the Germans." The hundreds, or thousands, of stories I've heard as a child bring me to this balcony on this day thirty years later, smelling my clean laundry on the line, listening to the Germans below, watching lights in the village flicker on or off. In a way I hardly understand, I am home. Tomorrow I walk the valley of a monastery who serves beer with my boss and her boss. We will walk the woods, drink amazing beer, reflect on work and life in the States. And again I will say to you: I am home. Oddly enough, foreign as I am, I am home.
Lost control of breath and heart Mar 06, 2012
I find myself on the matt, rushed from traffic, breathless from worry. The room dims, the instructor's voice soothes the atoms in the air. We breathe.
The class begins and we stretch, bending over yesterday's beers and middle-age. We look up, grasping at the sky energy. We stand tall, then lean low, we breathe heavily.
I stoop in to child's pose, catching my breath and my resting my body. The instructor, calm energy, strong voice, tells the class to rest. "If you've lost control of your breathing or your heart, take a minute…"
I'm fading in to my own thoughts at these words. "Lost control of your heart…" The words bounce around the vastness of my mind: a void of sorrow and contemplation. A light, dim at first, starts to shine the very edges of my thoughts. It is not just light, it is the sun. Hope washes over the cobwebs of winter, of poor choices, of indecision. Memories of a being a child, hopeful and independent, of a girl in Germany, of a strong spirit rush back in the void's space. Suddenly I am strong for the first time in months.
I sit now in a hippie coffee shop. It's the kind of coffee shop you'd go to after having an epiphany at yoga. I sit across a college girl with her hair in a woolen cap. A grandmother sits near us sipping her latte and writing on twitter. The walls are adorned with swirls of abstract art, most likely a result of a night of cocaine and vodka. I'm high just staring at them.
This space, the hippie place, the women on their laptops, the older gentlemen who just hugged a hello near the cash register: this is a place as familiar as years. I do not know a single person I've talked to today but we share this space, this energy, and a collective memory.
I'm heading to Nuremberg again on Saturday. This may very well be the single biggest goal I've had since I turned seven: Living in Germany. I will be there for a few weeks at this time with an apartment and a car. I will live like a local without knowing the language. I will walk to work, greet my co-workers with "Guten Morgan" and I will find my way through the market to purchase cheese and meat and wine. I will be alone.
I was recently told by someone close to me that independence is often misunderstood loneliness. Perhaps this is true. Today I find myself alone in a crowd of strangers, all of us breathing together or working together or sharing the mind-numbing art. I understand their language. It is familiar. It is comforting.
Without that comfort I will be isolated. But there are some dreams that make no sense, aside from longevity and a child's idealistic mind. I go and show my own children how to capture life. They plan Skype chats, videos, and a possible trip to come see my apartment in Germany as well. My children will experience a world I coveted. They will walk to the market with me and pick out the meats and cheese and we will listen on the playground as German children run past my American youngin's. I couldn't be more excited, more petrified, more grateful. In this way I have lost control of my heart. The emotions that ruled the past half year or more come to a climax: Life, isn't it funny? Because if you didn't laugh, you'd cry.

Three weeks into the college football season, a few truths have become evident. Some are obvious (hey, Alabama is really good) and others shouldn't be surprising (turns out, never mind the offseason, but Johnny Manziel is better than last year). Meanwhile, on the coaching front, there's still time to turn things around, but Mack Brown is in big trouble at Texas and Lane Kiffin might be toast at USC. Add Bo Pelini to the mix, and that's plenty of intrigue with three big-time jobs, all of which could be open in a few weeks (we could argue whether Nebraska belongs on the same tier as the other two – sorry Huskers, it's a clear notch below – but it's still a premier gig).
The good news: None of this is set in stone. We're only 25 percent of the way through the regular season. Conference play is only just now about to really crank up. If the fourth weekend looks light on drama, here's a warning: That's when wacky happens. Let's hope, anyway.
Until then, here's the first installment of @USATODAYSports College Football Mailbag, where we'll try each Friday to provide answers to your burning questions – and we don't mean Big Tex – and occasionally address off-topic stuff (see below).
Tweet questions to @GeorgeSchroeder and use the hashtag #CFBmailbag – or go old school and email email@example.com.
Which conference is the most exciting to watch? Also, which conference has the best chance to dethrone the SEC? – @mLuH2006
So, a minefield right from the beginning. Which conference is most exciting? Depends on (mostly regional) perspective, probably. If we're talking style of play, I might go with the Pac-12 or the Big 12, because of all the hurry-up offense being played out there and the crazy high scores. You know, stuff that would never happen in the SEC, where defense reigns supr—what? Oh, thanks Paul.
From a sheer who-knows-what-will-happen standpoint, I might go with the Big 12. It's really early, but in the first three weeks it appears Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Baylor – not necessarily in that order -- are the three best teams, and there's separation after that. But there's a reason the race was considered wide-open before the season: several decent teams, none elite. That still seems about right. Which means there's no real way to predict what'll happen from week to week.
The SEC still looks like Alabama and then LSU and Georgia, then everybody else. But any league with Johnny Football is must-see TV every week. The Pac-12 features Oregon and Stanford, but UCLA and Washington and maybe even Arizona State have been early surprises. The conference is solid and deep, and the most likely answer to your second question.
The most underperforming team may be easy (hello Mack Brown) but who is most surprising? – @OKCsportsGUY
Texas' struggles are mildly surprising. It feels like there's potential for the program to spontaneously combust at any moment.
I wasn't sure what to make of the Longhorns before the season (neither were many others; Phil Steele tabbed them as No. 4 nationally; Big 12 media had them No. 4 in the Big 12), but Brown talked them up all offseason, raising expectations for a return to the national picture. Instead, Texas is inconsistent on offense and doesn't tackle on defense. Brown fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, and although publicly the Texas administration keeps supporting the head coach, it's clear he's in big, big trouble. Underperforming? Absolutely. But only mildly surprising.
This could and probably will all change tomorrow – which is part of the beauty of college football season – but Texas Tech, with Kliff Kingsbury getting it done with freshmen quarterbacks, and Georgia Tech, doing it with the diamond formation, might qualify. I'll go with a couple of Pac-12 teams, though. We'll talk about UCLA in the next answer, but how about Washington?
Starting with a shellacking of Boise State – and never mind if the Broncos have slipped a notch, if you've paid attention the last few years, you know that just does not happen – followed by a nice road win over Illinois in Chicago, the Huskies have looked really good. Keith Price has emerged, finally, as a consistent playmaker at quarterback. Bishop Sankey is the best running back you don't know much about. Justin Wilcox might have a decent defense. Steve Sarkisian has the program headed on a nice trajectory. The Pac-12 schedule is rough – beginning next week, it goes: Arizona, at Stanford, Oregon, at Arizona State; by late October, the Huskies' momentum could be a memory. But they might cause some bruises, too. Pay attention to the games Oct. 5 at Stanford and especially to Oct. 12 at home against Oregon. Washington has lost nine consecutive to the Ducks, but it could be an upset trap ready to be sprung.
Never thought I'd ask this, but should Oregon be more worried about UCLA than Stanford? – @theplanetbob
Never thought I'd answer this, either, not this season. But the question makes sudden sense after UCLA's fast start. The last image we have of the Bruins is of their second-half swamping of Nebraska in Lincoln (Bo Pelini might have a few choice words to say here; anyone got a tape?). UCLA's progress under Jim Mora Jr. is impressive. Sophomore quarterback Brett Hundley is fantastic fun to watch – you want a dark horse Heisman candidate, maybe start with him. He's big (6-3, 222) and strong and mobile, a serious headache for defenses (against Nebraska, he threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns). The Bruins go fast and then faster, like so many others these days, and a shootout might be in store Oct. 26 in Eugene.
But the Pac-12's two best teams remain Stanford and Oregon. Or Oregon and Stanford. Either way – until Nov. 7, when the teams will determine the correct order. There's a long way to go until then, but the winner might be on its way to the BCS championship game. It's a great clash of styles. The last time the teams met, Stanford shut down the Ducks in Eugene. Can the Cardinal do it again, this time at home? Based on what we've seen so far, the Bruins could cause plenty of problems for Oregon. No one should overlook them. But the question was whether the Ducks should be more worried about UCLA than Stanford. Nope.
From what you observed of the Vols last weekend, do you think Butch Jones will turn it around? – @clintontennsee
There was plenty of excitement in the offseason after Jones' arrival. That's not unusual, of course, but after Derek Dooley's disastrous tenure (and Lane Kiffin's cup of coffee before Dooley), fans were hungry. Enthusiasm and optimism often gets confused for real, on-field momentum, but reality should have set in last week, when Oregon blistered the Vols. Keep two things in mind: Oregon is going to do that to almost everyone. The Ducks have settled into the No. 2 spot in the polls, and no one's really quibbling about it. They're good, and Tennessee fans shouldn't overreact to a road blowout. Also, more important is what happens now, as SEC play cranks up. Florida is a heavy favorite Saturday, and probably should be. But the Gators will be a better measuring stick for how far the Vols have to go. The key is patience. Jones has a good track record. He wasn't the Vols' first choice, but he was a very solid hire. Give him time. Tennessee looks like it's on the right track.
Why can't you do the Springfield Police Log full-time? – @mrbducks
Springfield Police Log is a labor of love. Or lunacy. Or love of lunacy. Whatever, but it's fun (for me, anyway; I don't know about anyone else). Since moving from the Pacific Northwest, I've missed the weekly dose of zany crime in a place we loved. Springfield is a great but unique mill town adjacent to Eugene and is, in fact, the inspiration for the Springfield in "The Simpsons".
The blurbs in the incident reports are sometimes sad but often funny; at some point I thought others might find them humorous, too. Here's one:
And another:
Part of the fun (at least for me) of tweeting the Police Log items was the amateur iPhone photos I took of the actual newspaper, spread out on the kitchen table. But I was glad to find them online. Thanks to The Register-Guard (@RegisterGuard) of Eugene for publishing them.
Full-time? Nah. Regular feature? Fair warning: I'll probably try to do that.

Klamath Falls City Councilor Faces Sex Abuse Charges
A member of the Klamath Falls City Council has been arrested on a charge of sexual abuse of a boy under the age of 6.
The Herald and News reports that 60-year-old Gregory Alvin Taylor was booked Wednesday at the Klamath County jail and released after posting 10 percent of the $100,000 bail.
Klamath County District Attorney Ed Caleb said Taylor is accused
of abusing the boy March 27 in Corvallis. He says it was reported
to the Corvallis police, and state investigators were called in
because of Taylor's position as an elected official.
Taylor teaches information technology at Klamath Community
College. He was elected to the council in 2010. Last year he filed
to run as a Republican for the Oregon House but later withdrew.
