UI School of Journalism and Mass Media Earns First-time National Accreditation
The Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) has voted to accredit the School of Journalism and Mass Media at the University of Idaho.
The council's May 2 decision marks the first time that a journalism and mass communication program in Idaho has been accredited by ACEJMC, which evaluates professional journalism and mass communications programs at colleges and universities.
"We are pleased led that the council recognizes the commitment to excellence by the faculty and students of our School of Journalism and Mass Media," said Katherine Aiken, UI interim provost and executive vice president. "The school made great strides to prepare for the rigorous review that preceded the vote."
With the council's vote, UI is one of 116 accredited programs around the world. Other accredited journalism and mass communication programs in the Northwest are at the University of Washington, University of Oregon and University of Montana. Here is a complete list of accredited programs.
The process began with a detailed self-study conducted by the Journalism and Mass Media (JAMM) faculty in 2012-2013. A four-member team of educators and media professionals visited Moscow for four days last October to interview students, faculty and members of the school's advisory board.
"This is a school that provides serious, capable students with quality instruction and hands-on, practical media experience," said Will Norton, dean of the Meek School of Journalism and New Media at the University of Mississippi. Norton led the site team, which found the school in full compliance with all nine accrediting standards.
The site team praised the school's curriculum, personalized advising, and hands-on opportunities through student media and internships. It commended the faculty's balance of academic and professional media experience. Here is the site team's report.
"Our students impressed the site team with their enthusiasm for our program and the entire UI experience," said Kenton Bird, director of the school since its reorganization in 2003.
Bird attributed the successful quest for accreditation to support from the UI administration, especially Aiken, and the faculty's commitment to align their courses with ACEJMC's curriculum standard. He also praised the school's Advisory Board for sponsoring internships and helping to shape the curriculum.

Lawrence Frank's Pistons experiment benefits Charlie Villanueva | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
Frank puts Vern in with Charlie. Vern looks terrible having to cover for Charlie's "defense". Vern gets sent back to the bench. Vern gets released in the offseason. Vern gets picked up by San Antonio next season where he averages 11pts, 8reb, 1.5blks in 17 minutes per game backing up Tim Duncan.
How are we supposed to see this game? Can we watch online? I sure as heck can't pick up that radio station.......
Looks like it will be on League Pass according my Direct TV guide.....probably with Austin Carr and Fred McCleod giving their over the top analysis.
oh. ok thanks Dre
It was Austin Carr who indirectly gave Charlie V the Charlie Garbage nickname when he referred to him as "a garbage time All Star" during a game.
Wow the Cavs have busted out the Abrhams for this match up. Pathetic
Tigers and Red Wings are on the FSD channels. My computer says the Pistons are winning 89-49. Is that correct?
100-50 at the end of 3rd
Holy ****balls. 47 point lead
and still no V Mac
Cavs must be in full tank mode. I hate Gilbert.
Tanking is trying hard with your scrubs and losing by 10. When you lose by 50 to the Pistons, you really, really, really, really suck.
How'd my Cavs do today?
You showed off your excellent prediction skills again tonight, Nemo. The Cavs only lost by 50. I hope you aren't a gambler.
Tank Squad couldn't seal the deal. That was the only time the Cavs outscored us in a quarter too. Brandon had a hell of a game, finishing with a new career high 28 points on 11 of 12 shooting and 7 assists in just under 30 minutes of playing time. His only miss was a 3 that bounced out, and even with the miss he outscored the Cavs by himself in the third, 19-12. Even outside of the scoring, he did a good job running the offense and led the team to an 11 point lead after one, with 4 assists in that quarter alone. Brilliant. Greg had a solid game as well, able to get whatever he wanted against the Cavs' interior guys, and would probably have scored a bunch more points if some of his shots hadn't rimmed out. As it is, he was an efficient 4 of 7 from the field for 12 points, 13 boards, 3 assists and 4 steals in 27 minutes. That was also Greg's 29th double double of the season. Rodney was the only Piston starter who didn't shoot at least 50% from the floor, 3 of 8, due in large part to his slow start offensively, initially going 1 for 5 in the first two quarters. He did have a better 3rd quarter though, hitting 2 of 3 shots. He also had 6 assists. Tayshaun played pretty well, on both ends. He was second leading scorer with 15 points on 6 of 8 from the field, and didn't force the issue when the shot wasn't there, and that's reflected by his and the team's FG% and assist numbers. CV - much as I rag on him, he actually played pretty well today. Sure, his defense still isn't where it needs to be, and he shoots too much, but he rebounded well (had 8 in 22 minutes, behind only Greg) and played with some energy. I still think he's paid too much for what he brings to the table and so I'm hoping this good play nets us a good trade opportunity in the offseason. BG was ok, didn't play a lot, only 16 minutes, and a handful of that was in garbage time. Big Ben played pretty well. Old man can still get up there; he was able to block 3 shots and changed a lot more in less than 15 minutes. JJ also played well, initially coming in for Tayshaun at SF but got moved to PF with both Max and CV in foul trouble and Big Ben already on the floor. Like most of his teammates, he shot a ridiculous percentage and finished with 14 points and 4 boards in just over 21 minutes. Bynum was ok. Wilkins - see Bynum. Walker got in the game in uber garbage time, but managed to net 2 assists and 2 points. Daye - he's well ensconced in Frank's doghouse again, and went in at the same time as Walker. He had 2 points and 3 fouls in under 7 minutes. Had 2 steals though. Brilliant game. The Pistons made the Cavs look like a worse version of the Bobcats - their largest lead against the woeful Cats was 36 - they led Cleveland by 50 and held them to 50 total points after 3 quarters, hitting the century mark at the same juncture. Crazy. Granted, it was against the tanking Cavs without their best player, but the effort was there from tip off, on both ends of the floor. Frank's experimentation with CV in the second unit looks to be paying off a bit as well, providing some much-needed scoring punch for that front line. Always a double edged sword, of course, given his and BG's deficiencies on defense which will be exposed by a better team, but it helps balance things out. They're guaranteed to not do a repeat of their earlier distinction of 0-3 on back to back to backs now too.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › Fasthike Fiber?
May 20, 2013 at 10:47 am #1303142
I don't like the idea of big bran bars to get fiber on a multi-day fasthike. Twice I've eaten a few hundred calories of cliff bars on 12+ hour 3+mph streaks. The resulting stomach lumps were something I had to work through for an hour or so. Nothing difficult, just noticeably annoying while trying to stay in an efficient groove.
If it were just a day, I would simply stick to MyoMalt on trail (3/4 malto, 1/4 whey). But over a 5 day JMT fasthike, I'm going to want fiber to "smooth out" the rest stops…
I will bring nuts and Cliff bars for fat, eaten over the last mile before sleep. There will be fiber in those, but enough? Spread throughout the day enough?
Answer: I could supplement with soluble fiber in the MyoMalt.
Thoughts? Anyone with experience in on-trail, low-fiber "regularity" issues? Last thing I want is to spend a lot of exhausted time 'working things out', if you know what I mean.May 20, 2013 at 11:23 am #1987941

Psyllium husks – pretty lightweight, and very effective as long as you drink enough water (otherwise kinda solidifies in your gut)May 20, 2013 at 11:31 am #1987949

This definitely drifts into the TMI catagory, but it is a reality that needs consideration.
I hike 20 to 25 miles a day. I eat 4 or 5 Powerbar Harvest Bars (and other stuff) because they are oat based, versus soy based like Cliff. They clear my stomach just fine, but Cliff would have me down for the count. I don't handle soy well at all. Something to test before hitting the trail. Breakfasts are granola (oats again), dinners are a variety of "regular" food. So I'm putting in the 1.5 pounds per day of solids.
As for "through put", I often don't take a dump until day two or three. I don't get concerned because I know what's going on and how my body works when stressed. It goes into "super efficiency" mode and there just isn't enough mass to make it worth the effort. My gut extracts and compacts until there is little left to deal with. Then when the time comes, it feels like a regular dump and looks like a regular dump. Two days later, same song 2nd verse. And so it goes.

Um, if you ate our diet at home and on trail you'd never, ever, ever, EVER be worried about enough fiber ;-)
Stay hydrated. Eat a lot of dried fruits and vegetables. Consumer a lot of fat in nuts, seeds, oil and more. Eat oats. Eat flaxssed meal. Ground chia seeds. Whole grains (nothing white). More veggies and fruits. More nuts.
You'll be running for privacy, not straining ;-)
Oh yeah, and cut back on the meat. It can bind you up!May 20, 2013 at 11:49 pm #1988209
Greg –
I hadn't thought about soy vs oat or other. That may be the trick. I will definitely try some alternatives.
Sarah –
I can't believe it's taken me this long to hit your site. Very cool! We are certainly on the same page for 'normal' hiking. We bring a variety of bases – vermicelli, quinoa, quick rice – and add carmelized onions, suateed mushrooms, seasoned TVP, tomato sauce 'leather', potato flakes, dried hot sauce, etc.. Every night is decided that night. We just make sure there's enough of the bases and plenty of stuff to put on it. Planning any more than that is a waste of time at this point. The biggest thing I'm working on for that is reducing the seal-a-meal volume. The plastic takes up more room than the ingredients some times!
But for 'athletic' hiking, I'm trying to avoid anything that distracts energy from the hike. My worst example was day hiking the Rae Lakes (ccw). Everything was fine until we ate a couple bars just before Glen on the south side. That was the hardest 400' I've ever done. Then every time we ate something – Rae, Dollar, Upper Paradise, the same thing happened – big energy drop for an hour.
Fast forward to last summer – Roads End, Avalanche, Colby, Harrison – Roads End. Zero gastric slump – I was on the malto all day long and did normal food only at night. Come to think of it, I did eat a couple packets of oatmeal about 4 hours into day two. Don't remember there being a problem. Hmm…
I will make up some bars with oats, nuts, and honey, perhaps rice crispies. I have a 100 mile local hike I'm trying to get in the next two weeks. Good time to try some alternatives.May 21, 2013 at 6:50 am #1988259

"But for 'athletic' hiking…
"…Zero gastric slump – I was on the malto all day long…"
Looking at a "bigger picture" I'd say you are certainly on the right track. "Athletic" for multiple days points to malto in a big way. If you haven't discovered "Hiking Malto" here, now is the time.
Regarding your first post w/ fiber, obviously there is none in maltodextrin, and that lack of bulk adds to "accumulation time". As a distance cyclist – multiple consecutive 200 mile days – existing on maltodextrin during the days and regular food for dinners, my first dump can stretch out to 3 or 4 days. Sounds bizarre I know, but as mentioned above, when the time was right, everything was normal.

I don't really know anything about fasthiking, but if you are trying to stay regular, have you considered acidophilus pills? They are the concentrated bacteria in yogurt. They won't add any fiber, but will help with regularity.May 21, 2013 at 9:39 am #1988318

I have two JMTs planned/permitted, sobo 6/29, nobo 9/5. I covered the plans on another thread: JMT Fasthike
I really want to detach from the solar day cycle and so sleep/hike whenever. I love night hiking. 1 pm – 3 pm not so much. I think the only thing made more difficult is picking a spot to sleep in the dark.
Bummer I'll miss your trek. I look forward to the TR!May 21, 2013 at 10:25 am #1988333
I know this has been extensively covered elsewhere, but this is my distillation.
My latest nutrition plan for 1.5 JMT fast hikes I'm doing this summer. First is a half fast/half slow sobo on 6/29, second is a 5 day nobo on 9/5.
For the past year I've been hiking with this MyoMalt recipe and I love it.
It's my home brew version of Hammer's Perpetuem (thank you again gg-man!). (Aside: 'MyoMalt': myo- prefix for 'muscle' and also 'make yer own' – Malto. Perfect!)
Yield 1 Lb, 2000 kcal, 30 miles, $4.85/LB (compare Hammer at $9.40):
12 oz malto-dextrin power powder (honeyvillegrain.com)
3 oz whey isolate (plain) anti-autophagic (proteinfactory.com)
1 oz whey isolate (vanilla) anti-autophagic (proteinfactory.com)
1/4 oz soy lecithin * choline and lipids (health food store)
700 mcg chromium picolinate * fat burner (nowfoods.com)
375 mg choline amino boost (nowfoods.com)
500 mg L-carnitine anti-oxidant (nowfoods.com)
500 mg L-carnosine anti-oxidant (nowfoods.com)
Note: In the future I will no longer add lecithin or chromium picolinate, but seeing as I made up 60 pounds of this last year… Chromium picolinate has been debunked as a fat burner and muscle preserver, unless anyone knows better. Soy lecithin gums up my bottle and being oil based it doesn't rinse out. I'm moving to provide oil intake separately.
On trail I mix 2 oz (250 kcal) of MyoMalt into a 10 oz baby bottle (thx Brett M.!) of cold filtered Sierra Spring water (Sawyer Squeeze in-line with my bladder). It mixes easily at this concentration and I get a drink that is between soy and rice milk in both flavor and texture. By using vanilla flavor in only 1/4 of the whey powder I keep the sweetness down. I have yet to grow tired of the flavor, although my family likes to add in some hot chocolate mix.
As an aside, gg-man aka Hiking Malto suggested adding Crystal Light or similar powder for other flavors, but it hasn't worked for me. I used Aaron Sorensen's suggestion and prepackaged 2 oz baggies for no-mess measure and pour.
I consume 200 kcal/hour and provision for 28 miles/Lb (mostly 2.5 – 3.5 mph depending on grade and fatigue). I also carry 1-2L water depending on distance to refill and drink less than 1L per hour including the MyoMalt. I've been getting nice, infrequent (~6 hours), mellow yellow pees.
I will carry 7.5 pounds MyoMalt + 2 pounds bars of some sort. Trying to work out the right bars/fiber needs (ergo this thread).
I also have made up MyoLyte electrolyte caps to mimic Hammer's Endurolyte. Hiking Malto has suggested mixing in with the Malto. I wanted to keep these separate because I have found I need to adjust for heat/sweat variation. When I first started developing a fuel/salt protocol, I stuck to Hammer's recommended 2-3 caps/hr. After 5 hours or so, I would feel the need to puke. It felt just like when you force yourself to heave by drinking salted water. Now I am more sensitive to actual need which is a lot more like 1/hr.
Yield 300 caps, 300 hrs, 900 miles, $7.20/120 (compare Hammer at $12.00/120):
31 grams NaCl ( 41 mg/cap)
76 caps K citrate, 99mg ( 25 mg/cap)
48 tabs Ca citrate, 315 mg ( 50 mg/cap)
56 caps Mg citrate, 133 mg ( 25 mg/cap)
48 caps Mn Gluconate, 10 mg (1.6 mg/cap)May 21, 2013 at 10:46 am #1988345

good nutrition info.
I'm an ultra runner and Perpetuem is about 80% of my diet during races.
but for the long slower pace of the JMT it seems like a lot of trouble and a lot of weight.
am considering a more solid high calorie diet but have not worked it out yet.
may still go with mostly Perpetuem, just not sure.May 21, 2013 at 10:51 am #1988348

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
If you are drinking a lot of your calories it can be one reason why a person gets bound up – artificial fiber is no ones friend. By that, I mean supplemented fiber. Protein drinks are high in calories but usually low on fiber so often faux fiber is slipped in. These can cause severe bloating/gas/distress as the stomach gets used to it. Better to simply eat your fiber in real food.
As for bars…most commercial bars are pretty notorious for being harder to digest. Lump like in the gut, they are so dense. It takes a lot on your body to digest them – better to nibble on a bar over a long period than to wolf one down (or worse 2-3 bars). If you must do bars, make your own so it is real food! I take fruit/nut/coconut ones often.
Before I had my last 2 kids and I was doing long days, I carried a snack bag I could get into easily, Every night I loaded it up. It had small bags of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, potato chips (potassium) and other items. It encouraged me to eat often. Then I had a bigger meal at dinner where I got hydrated as well.May 21, 2013 at 11:07 am #1988354

You just answered your own question. Drip in the malto during the day and take real food for breakfast and, especially, dinner. Works like a charm, although not for a really long hike like the PCT/AT/CDT. For 5 days you should be just fine, with lots of opportunity to get your fiber at breakfast and dinner. There is an inherent conflict of interest in eating food that requires digestion while doing something "athletic", in that your stomach and leg muscles will be competing for blood supply.

I have received Marcialee's blocks and Jannie's blocks. Thank you ladies! :)
ok my frustration level peaked and I am not going to do this swap. I cut everything out like the video showed me and so I was already to go and realized that I cut the material on the wrong side of the print so it just doesn't go. So I am throwing in the towel. I gave it a good try and it is too frustrating for me. So I will not be doing this. Sorry all of you.
Barb can you trace on the back the pattern and sew it that way? I know exactly what you mean. Been there done that.
No I tried that , I will eventually keep trying this but I won't be able to get it done for this swap.
So sorrry to hear. I was really looking forward to having you swapping with us. Don't give up on paper piecing. Maybe lay it all aside in a ziplock bag and come back to it when you feel ready. I am still learning too and over time have gained a better feeling for what patterns I can do. I am just getting comfortable with doing patterns that have multiple sections that need to be sewn together after being paper pieced. also I do better with patterns in the 3 1/2 to 6 1/2 range, too big or too small always gets me. Also I always make one first, or try, and then decide if I want to make more. Sometimes the most basic ones get tossed out by me because they are plain frustrating and I keep making the same mistake.
Urgodschild2, many years ago I started paper piecing and got so frustrated and just couldn't seem to figure it out and was wasting fabric galore! I put all my patterns away and said I'd never do it again! LOL! A few years later, I decided to give it a go and something just clicked and it's now one of my favorite methods of stitching blocks together...relax and give it a rest and come back to it at another time and see if something similar might happen for you? Thanks a bunch for giving it a great try! :):)
Just a couple of days for people to sign up...I think we've got our crowd, but you never know who might just jump in at the last...:)
Today is the last day to sign up for this swap. :) Here are the players and status of blocks. Blocks are due to be in my hands by March 18. Yahoo! We're getting there! Can't wait to get them all! :)
Krystyna...blocks rec'd
Jannie...blocks rec'd
Annaquilts...blocks rec'd
Marcialee...blocks rec'd
Short an Sweet
And Me...blocks rec'd :)
Sorry, but I am not going to be able to get blocks done for the swap. Too much vacation time this winter. This retirement is just keeping tooooo busy.
Thanks for the reminder Ronda, I'll get mine finished up this weekend and in the mail next week. Looks like I'll be sending in 6 sets to swap, but no "twist", I'm running out of quality quilting time!! :D
No problem MizMelly! The twist is just a fun little extra...happy stitching! :)

- Complete set with all required friction discs - the number after the dash in the article description indicates the number of discs in the set (MCC ...- 6 = 6 friction discs included)
Always use the coupling lamellas carefully to avoid glazing.
In the case of oil bath couplings it is recommended to place the clutch plates in engine oil for some time prior to installation so that the linings can be sucked in - this is of course not the case for friction discs for dry clutch models!!
In the case of wear-resistant friction washers it is also recommended to replace the set springs and the worn steel discs.
Clutch sets need no certification and therefore, no test marks, certificates or type approvals.

text: Thanks for that info, Shayii. Shae would have been my guess, too. She still does a lot of their choreography; I know she did a lot of "Je Suis Malade". I know what you mean, pani, but I do think Kaitlyn has improved her posture a lot over the last couple of years. She seems to have strengthened her core to provide her with more stability in her positions. In this case, I think the hunching was a stylistic choice...it fits with the mood of the music and program, imo. Joannie and Tessa have some of the best basics I have ever seen, so I think most skaters would lose that comparison but this is another area in which Kaitlyn is improving a lot. I think Kaitlyn and Andrew are great performers, capable of reaching the top row. I am so happy they are part of this tour

In his hometown of Christchurch, Gerry Brownlee is warmly referred to as a "human bulldozer". He loses his rag occasionally, most recently when he gave private insurers a verbal slap for coming up with yet another new roadblock just after the Prime Minister unveiled the exciting blueprint for the new Christchurch CBD.
But there is no doubting his mastery of detail when it comes to the CBD blueprint which a Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority team refined in just over 100 days, or his passion and commitment to getting the job done.
Take a closer look at the plans for the new Christchurch here.
The CBD rebuild will result in an injection of $30 billion to $35 billion to erect the vital anchor projects and myriad commercial, retail and residential buildings that will fill the space between the Avon River and a new greener boundary frame.
Brownlee is clear that the Christchurch investment proposition is not simply about the earthquake rebuild. There will be a change in the local economy as new centres, such as the innovation and health precincts, spring up.
The Government is placing the South Island hub of the new Advanced Technology Institute within the innovation precinct close to a new hi-tech centre (Epic) which is due to open in October. The health precinct will also be pitched internationally as a prospective medical research centre.
But the big economic driver remains Christchurch's position as New Zealand's second-largest city and urban centre, servicing a rapidly developing rural hinterland.
"Fonterra's new milk-drying plant is the biggest in the world and it is being built in Darfield which was the epicentre of the first earthquake," says Brownlee.
"Plan for a change in economy - but the underlying strength is agriculture and it will be even stronger with the upcoming Land and Water Forum moves and the potential for agriculture closing off the acquirers."
The whole issue of water development is fraught with difficulties. But Brownlee says it's now at the "point of decision time".
"There will be a very quick pay-off and immediate dividends from increased agricultural productivity," he explains. "Canterbury is New Zealand's second-largest home of dairy cows and we can see that becoming more so."
One of the issues weighing on Brownlee is the push by key Christchurch business leaders like Solid Energy's Don Elder and Chamber of Commerce leader Peter Townsend to up lift the tempo for the CBD rebuild.
There has been substantial Chinese interest.
China's fourth-ranked leader Jia Qinqlin toured the quake-damaged centre earlier this year.
Jia, who is chair of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, came here as part of a trip to New Zealand to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Wang Yang, the Communist Party chief of Guangdong province, subsequently visited.
It is understood that the prospect for the China Development Bank to assist with long-term funding for some commercial projects with Chinese firm involvement has been discussed.
"We know that they want to do something," says Brownlee.
"A group came through to start discussions where they might be involved. They are Government-funded organisations that want to participate."
Brownlee is not concerned about the source of potential investment. "We've always had the Australian banks here.
"If you asked people who owned the buildings that used to be in in Christchurch they wouldn't know. But in the end they need to disconnect from the spaces created by investors from the investors themselves.
Brownlee concedes that despite his own stated wish to get the CBD plan implemented by 2017 it could take many years to execute.
"My own view is we should go hard at this and start talking about this with the city council informally. I think we should have a five-year plan and just go and do it, otherwise some of the gains we are making economically at the moment we will lose."
He disputes the notion that the many broken houses should be fixed first before the city is rebuilt - "you can't separate one from another."
Cera's Christchurch City Development Unit (CCDU) has prioritised three anchor projects.
* The Avon River precinct will hug both sides of the river from Christchurch Hospital to the eastern edge of the frame. This is expected to be a pedestrian-friendly and sustainable area and will act as a huge encouragement for the private sector to get underway.
* The convention centre precinct will accommodate several events at a time with space for 2000 in total. The objective is to attract international associations to Christchurch and develop connects with new businesses and markets that will help grow Christchurch's economic base. CCDU director Warwick Issacs says the convention centre will be an important economic catalyst within the central CBD as it will be a magnet for hotel and tourism developments.
* The Frame will be comprised of three areas. The East Frame will retain may existing buildings and structures including historic Latimer Square; it will have walkways and cycleways and a giant urban youth playground and a fanzone to support the nearby sports stadium. The South Frame will provide campus style developments in landscaped environments (education, health, IT and research) flanked by Christchurch hospital and Christchurch polytech. The North Frame will link the Avon River precinct with Victoria square and encourage complementary retail and hospitality businesses. Brownlee says it will be an absolutely vital place and a bit like Dubai - the world's largest construction site - with plenty going on.
Recovery plan features
* CBD bounded by the Avon River and a new Green Frame
* Zoning changes to consolidate the core CBD;
* Building height limits;
* Good-quality urban design;
* Streamlined consenting process
* Enhanced public spaces
* Multiple anchor projects (see illustration)
* Joint Management board on urban design

Tips for the Terrible 3's of parenting
"It goes something like this: One day your precious angel; the one everyone thinks is so cute, who was hardly ever a problem before, suddenly becomes a holy terror at times. You have never dealt with such temper tantrums, back-talking sassiness, and outbursts of anger. You may have entered the terrible threes."
I'll never forget when Kassidy turned 3 and I was pretty sure she had become demon-possessed! She was whiny and demanding and stubborn and bratty and I thought, "What the HECK!? Who stole my kid and replaced her with this evil alter-ego twin?!" But, after a year of battles of will (most of which I won!) she turned 4 and things got better. WHEW! I think God does that to trick you into wanting more kids! He reminds you how cute and fun they are in hopes that you'll forget the terrible 3's (or 2's in some cases). It worked for us. Obviously! ;)
Anyway, Ron gives 7 tips for surviving the Terrible 3's (or 2's... or TEENS! haha). You can read them all right here.

I'll take terrible two's or three's, but frightening FOURTEEN's were the worst with my two daughters. When the younger one was 14, my older daughter asked if she was that bad at 14. I said yes. She quietly said, "I'm so sorry". It was a red-letter day in my heart!
And just think how many times you have to go through it! I'll say an extra prayer for you!

I totally agree - for my kids, three was MUCH harder than two! (I'm sure Ava will not surprise me, either!) I had a neighbor who used to say ages 1-3 were the hardest (well, of young kids, they can definitely be even harder when older). So true around here!

For all my kids (so far) ages 1 and 3 were WAY harder than 2! So weird... but glad to know I'm not alone. :)
Loved your pastor's article... thats some good, solid stuff. Those seven steps need to be an everyday reminder for any parent with kids that age.

My son was anxious for his first daughter to turn three ... he thought somehow the Terrible Twos would be over. I didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise.
Ha ha my kids are grown! The 30s don't seem so terrible.
- Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 3:37:00 PM MDT
I use to tell people that the Terrible 2's were just trying to prepare you for the "Gawd AWEFUL HORRIBLE TERRIFING 3'S!". I also would add to wait until the turn 4 for shortly after that it does get better.
Sad part is most people did not believe me unless they had been through it already. LOL!!

I can so relate to this. I always wondered why people talked about the "terrible two's" when it was the 3's that were the most horrible. ROFL And I can also relate to the frightening 14's, Becky. What's interesting is that, despite the fact that boys and girls are supposed to develop at differing ages, it was about 14yo when both my daughter and son became so very nasty. I remember my daughter (who is 3 yrs older)saying, "Don't worry, Mom. He'll grow out of it like I did." They are now both adults and delights to us. :-D

Ooops, sorry for misspelling your name, Beckie.

Bozeman locals honor veterans and their families
BOZEMAN, Mont. - "We remember and pray for our veterans on this Veteran's Day."
Gallatin County Sheriff's Chaplain Warren Hiebert started the Veteran's Day ceremony with a prayer, expressing appreciation for the men and women in our military who have given so much.
"Pray like we want to and singing our songs that we want to sing. That's just part of our freedom from our veterans working so hard to give us these freedoms," says American Legion District Seven Commander Len Albright.
Vietnam Veteran and Bozeman resident George Morales says he comes to the Veteran's Day ceremony every year.
"Almost like a duty for me to wish my brothers well, to honor them in my mind because I tell you, when I got back from 'Nam, I didn't want anything to do with anything, with veterans, with veterans' administration. I just wanted to get on with my life," says Morales.
He says one of the most moving parts of the ceremony for him was meeting young family members of serviceman who died oversees.
"That just hit home, that hit home because young people need to realize that it's not about war, it's not about the confrontation of an enemy trying to shoot you," says Morales.
Instead, Morales says he hopes the younger generations can come to understand it's about honoring service men and women and the sacrifice they made.
"How do you say, I'm sorry about your loss for your loved one and, yet, because we're out here on this Veteran's Day say, but be proud. Don't just go and get into your little cave and mourn. Yes, you're going to do that but be proud of that person who died for you," says Morales.
Folks gathered to honor our veterans say it's also important to recognize their families.
"They suffer, too, being away and having their dads gone and their husband, wife, having them deployed. So, they suffer, too, without having the whole family together," says Albright.
Albright says this was also a day to remember and honor a number of local veterans who recently died in the last month and that it's important to thank our veterans every day, not just on Veteran's Day.
The ceremony at Sunset Hills was just one Bozeman event to recognize veterans.
The American Legion also hosted a breakfast and the Chord Rustlers Chorus presented a musical salute at the Bozeman Senior Center.
In Livingston, two Bozeman filmmakers screened their film "Not Yet Begun to Fight" about veterans' organization Warriors and Quiet Waters.

Going Bigger in the Biggest Little City
Grand Sierra Resort and Casino • Reno, NV
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($69) or Fridays and Saturdays ($150) Anytime Through June
- $25 Slot Machine Credit
- Two Games of Bowling for Two (Four Games Total)
- Two Buffet Tickets to The Lodge
Never has a city's nickname encapsulated its personality more than Reno's has. The Biggest Little City in the World boasts high-end casinos, top-shelf gaming, marquee entertainment, and five-star restaurants, but it's all offset by small-town charm, crisp mountain air, historic railroad tracks, and friendly locals.
With this week's Escape, you and a friend are going big—and paying small—with a two-night stay for two, Sundays through Thursdays ($69) or Fridays and Saturdays ($150) anytime through June, at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, located just three miles from downtown Reno.
Either way, you're shacking up in 425 square feet of comfort with triple-sheet bedding on a king-size bed, premium channels, pay-per-view movies, and 24-hour room service. Spectacular views of the Truckee River and the Sierra Mountains during the day are rivaled only by big-city views of the Reno skyline at night.
But with all the activities provided by the largest resort in Northern Nevada, it's doubtful you'll spend much time gawking at the view. Settle in with a massage, facial, or body treatment at the world-class Spa and Health Club before testing your luck in the 80,000-square-foot casino. There, you'll get a $25 credit toward slot machine play.
Strike it rich, then strike some pins in the resort's 50-lane bowling alley, where you'll receive four games with your Escape (two games per person). And no need to stop the fun and games there—with miniature golf, indoor golf, go-karts, and more at your fingertips, you'll feel like a little kid in a huge candy store.
But before you indulge your actual sweet tooth, quench your appetite in any of the resort's 11 restaurants—from the fine dining of the world-famous Charlie Palmer steakhouse to the family-friendly hamburgers of Johnny Rockets. Sure, only the high-rollers get the full comps in these eateries but with two buffet tickets to The Lodge, you'll feel like a big, well-fed fish in a small pond.
On your way back to the airport, be sure to salute the iconic arch declaring this legendary city's nickname. It's the least you can do—after all, The Biggest Little City in the World just delivered a little vacation of a lifetime.
For additional information, visit Grand Sierra Resort and Casino on Facebook.
"The Grand Sierra Resort, formerly the Reno Hilton, is the newest and most chic resort property in Reno, with the first phase of a $90-million renovation project complete."-- Frommer's

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by WoodysGirl, Dec 2, 2012.
Texans-Titans snooze fest...
Sanchez may be the worst QB in the league.
Watching Green Bay/Minnesota. Packers scored on their opening drive on a free play due to a Minnesota offsides penalty. James Jones had one of the best catches I've seen all season.
Watching Seahawks at Bears, still 0-0 but Bears with chance to score.
And they scored... Bears 7-0.
lets go Chicago and Green Bay!
we might be in the playoffs by Tuesday morning!
what happened to these threads?
patrick peterson just made an amazing interception. sanchez has 3 picks.
My game stinks to high heavens... I got nothing to contribute. lol
I'm not even getting any FF love from this game...
The jets vs cardinals game has just sent offensive
Football back 50 years.
There offensives make the Cowboys offense look
like the '82 Chargers.
arizona/nyj game is the funniest i've seen all year. nearly in tears watching this buffoonery.
Nah - Tebow is worse.
What's more sad is the Cards have their 3rd string QB in while the Jets have their "franchise" guy in...
OMG this jets game!
Sanchez is going to be lucky if he can find a 3rd string spot on a roster after this season.
Rich Eisen @richeisen
The Jets and Cardinals are setting offensive football back to the Nucky Thompson days.
Adrian Peterson is just phenomenal.
AP. Wow.
We need the Vikings to lose here...
I like his line better.
That's why he is on TV and I am not.
Troy has to hate all these roughing the passer call these days.
did anyone see brian hartline false start? guy ran 20 yards into his route before the ball was snapped

Pirelli calendar launch
3:41 PM Wednesday Nov 28, 2012
Mega-babe models hit the red carpet for the unveiling of the 2013 Pirelli calendar. The iconic calendar, which was first made back in the 1960s, was shot in Rio by celebrated American photojournalist Steve McCurry. It features 11 models, who, going against the calendar's naked tradition, remained fully-clothed for the shoot.

With all the recent discussion on here about swarm trap size, I decided to measure mine up. I am running double 5 frame medium nucs for swarm traps. The inside dimensions are 6.625"x8.25"x18.25" for a total of 997.47 cubic inches, for a single 5 frame nuc. Doubled up that is 1994.94 cubic inches.
I have heard that the European Honey Bee likes a cavity between 30-40 cubic liters. My double 5 frame medium nucs come in at 32.74 cubic liters.
I havent seen anyone claiming to be using double 5 frame medium nucs, but it seems that I have hit the target goal for cavity size.

Have you ever used the quilt basting spray for laying out clothing patterns?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Have you ever used the quilt basting spray for laying out clothing patterns?
Isn't the pattern paper a little thin for that?
Ooh, I think that would make a sticky mess!
I don't think that would work at all....
i would not try it with the origonal tissue --but if you trace the pattern on vilene i think it might work
your fabric will be sticky, not sure how well that may work while trying to handle it... :D:D:D
Yeah that was a dumb question wasn't it? :XD:Originally Posted by many craft person
OMG!! I hate that stuff... I bought a can of temp basteing spray and that is the darnest stuff to get off.... I use tweezers to hold small items wheile I spray,, and I have usd acetone, alchol, goo gone, WD 40 and LOTS of elbow grease....
I freq will trace a pattern onto freezer paper and them iron it on to the fabric.... works great once..... after than I"m back to pinning.. but I usually dont make too many clothes these days.
Oh yeah, that too! :lol:Originally Posted by amma
I much prefer to trace the pattern on to freezer paper, then iron the freezer paper on to the fabric. I'm too lazy to pin! :)

As soon as someone tells me what's up with uploading pictures and video I have some cool things to post.
Here's the text for now:
I don't have a colony, but I have a hive and hope for a swarm. The hive plans were hard to get, so I used the principles in the drawings I found on the internet and built the hive you see in the post. There are special things I did because of the Texas heat, even though it will be in the shade most of the day.
As I made my top bars, entrances, roof and vents I kept in mind the chimney effect used on homes with eave vents. The top bars toward the back (where the flowers are) have 1/8" space between them to allow ventilation. I did this by stapling popsicle sticks to the sides and then removed the wood. Then I placed a 1" hole high in the attic so it will pull air into the three entrances because hot air rises. I have three entrances, all at floor level. The front entrance (where my daughter-in-law painted the pyramid hive) has a landing pad. The entrance slot was angled because I couldn't find the best SIZE for an entrance. I did a landing space because I read they prefer it and I wanted a place for an entrance feeder. Later I added the limiter for a 3/8" hight down to 1/4". Just today I added two entrances on the side where the roof is hinged. I used a frame from a window screen to limit the side openings to 3/8" high. They are at floor level so dead bees can be pushed out easily and the bees will enter at an upward angle. The chains keep the roof in place when it's open. This way, when I'm working the hive I have a lot between me and the bees. The roof is covered with self-adhesive, reflective roof flashing.
By the way, I built the whole thing of aspen plywood mostly because I just like how it looks, works and weathers. My budget was $50, top bars and all. The top-bars are red oak with a strip of aspen. The handles I put on the top bars are just big fence staples, but you can't pull them out and they are easy to hold with gloves. I also plan to make a rack and these would make it easy to hang the bars over a tray I plan to use. I'm CHEAP!. I got my brother to buy my jacket and hood with promise he would be paid back with 2 lbs. of honey. My sister bought my smoker and jar-type entrance feeder for the same deal.
You probably noted there is no window on the side. There won't be. On eBay I found a $22 (postage paid) borescope that works with my netbook. Note: I already had a CD drive to load the software. The way my entrances are set up, I will be able to put the borescope on a stiff wire with a bend at the end and view any part of the hive. This hasn't been tested with bees, but it works GREAT. It's my theory that the bees will be less disturbed by the 4 LED lights from the borescope (which can be dimmed) than having the whole side of the hive opened to the sun. I hope to post videos.
SO!, What do you think? Can you help me with photo upload?

Romance and Relaxation in OKC
The Grandison Inn at Maney Park • Oklahoma City, OK
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($79)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays ($99)
Looking to get away but can't decide between a romantic rendezvous or a night on the town? Not to worry, this Escape to Oklahoma City delivers the best of both worlds.
You'll spend the evening at The Grandison Inn at Maney Park, a shining example of classic Victorian architecture found in Oklahoma. The building was originally constructed in 1904, and a recent renovation of the property restored its most elegant original features—mahogany woodwork, maple hardwood floors, and stained glass—while introducing comforts like jetted tubs to all guest rooms.
Accommodations also boast LCD flat-screen televisions and DVD players. Guest rooms are individually decorated, ensuring each Grandison stay will be a new experience. Relax, kick back, and enjoy the inn's complimentary snacks and beverages from the second-floor butler's pantry.
For a romantic night of privacy with your special someone, give the inn three days advanced notice and you can enjoy a meal prepared fresh and delivered to your door. There's no need to go out to find food when you can savor home-cooked steak, chicken, or salmon with salad, potatoes, seasoned vegetables, and delectable cheesecake.
When you're ready to emerge, the Grandison is minutes away from Oklahoma City's Bricktown and Downtown districts, home to the city's best restaurants. You can satisfy your sweet tooth with a cupcake from Pinkitzel or sip a glass of wine at Put a Cork in It. Also nearby is the Chesapeake Energy Arena, so you can catch a basketball game after dinner.
Have your romantic cake and night out, too, with this Escape to The Grandison Inn at Maney Park.
"A true oasis in Oklahoma City. The jacuzzi tub was so relaxing after a hard day—and the special closet with extra toiletries really came in handy! Lovely décor and a comfy mattress—and a special trip back in time to a more gracious, slow-paced era."-- TripAdvisor

Possible sighting of Jessica Ridgeway in Maine
Police in Maine looking for station wagon
WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Police in Maine have issued a statewide alert for a light blue station wagon after a possible sighting of Jessica Ridgeway was reported, according to our sister station in Denver, KMGH.
Sgt. Alan Grinnell, with the Police Department in Dexter, Maine, told 7NEWS that a woman saw the Amber Alert on her computer Tuesday and reported the possible sighting.
Grinnell said the woman reported seeing a girl who looked very much like Jessica in the back seat of a light blue Buick station wagon with Colorado plates Sunday. He said they have not confirmed that it was Jessica, but did say police are taking the tip seriously.
The Dexter Police Department did contact the Westminster Police Department about this tip, Grinnel said.
Dexter, Maine is about 40 miles west of Bangor.
10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway disappeared on Friday in Westminster. She was last seen leaving home to meet friends at a park so they could walk to school. Police say she didn't meet up with her friends or get to school.
Authorities on Wednesday said they believe Ridgeway was abducted by an unknown suspect. Police say they're pursuing tips from Nevada, Texas, and Maryland as well as Maine.
The FBI sent a team to the girl's home in Westminster, Colo., on Tuesday, but they refused to comment on any findings. Her mother, Sarah Ridgeway, said she wants her daughter back.
Authorities went to the Independence, Mo., residence of the girl's father, Jeremiah Bryant, on Friday. Bryant also said he wants to find his daughter.
Police say the only item found so far that they can link to Jessica is her backpack. It was found on a sidewalk in a neighborhood about six miles north of her home on Sunday.
Police are asking people to be on the lookout for Jessica's distinguishing characteristics - a small gap between her two front teeth and a sore on the top of her nose below where her glasses sit.
Hotline for information on Jessica Ridgeway: 303-658-4336
Here is a link to pictures of Jessica Ridgeway. http://www.krdo.com/news/-/417220/16903856/-/15h689l/-/index.html
Authorities are also looking into whether this case could be linked to the abduction of a girl in Wyoming.
Police in the Denver suburb of Westminster say they're aware of the case in Cody, Wyo., and were working with investigators there on Wednesday.
A man lured an 11-year-old Cody girl into a sport utility vehicle on Monday saying he needed help finding his dog. She was released about four hours later and found by hunters.

Stressed out: How should newsrooms handle trauma?
The rampage inside a Colorado movie theater that killed 12 people and injured dozens more is the most recent reminder that a journalist anywhere can face sudden, great emotional stress. Any story involving tragedy--from domestic violence to natural disasters--can inflict an emotional toll on field journalists. The very empathy that makes a journalist a good storyteller puts him or her at risk.

Mushroom hunt success!
Van Bialon of Emily, a mycologist and member of the Minnesota Mycological Society and Paul Bunyan Mushroom Club, recently hit the jackpot when he found an assortment of choice edible wild mushrooms.
Here he displays the portion of his find that he was able to fit on his picnic table. Visible are two containers of armelaria mellea (honey fungus), assorted boletes, piles of grifola frondosa (hen of the woods or sheep's head-maitake) and one large group of laetiporus sulphereus (chicken of the woods or sulphur shelves).
He reported having 10 hens of this size. The hunt for these shrooms took three hours; cleaning them took an additional 12.

Downtown Developments Sprucing Up the City
All kinds of chatter circulating around town about renovations/activations happening in the downtown area.
The Free Press reported this morning that Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans and Detroit Venture Partners fame has purchased the Dime Building (a beauty designed by Daniel Burnham). The Free Press has not reported too many details in terms of what Gilbert is planning to do with the Dime, but you can bet it probably has something to do with the work Detroit Venture Partners is doing– the venture capital firm that Gilbert, Josh Linkner and Brian Hermelin started last year. In speaking engagements throughout last year, both Gilbert and Linkner have said repeatedly that the plan is to create a Silicon Valley in Detroit by supporting the startup of early to mid-stage tech companies. In doing so, they invest in the companies, house them in the incubation space at the Madison Building (adjacent to the Broderick Tower) and then move the companies to larger space as they begin to grow. It seems reasonable that the space purchased in the Dime Building could support that movement. But, again, nothing has been confirmed. Just throwing out some thoughts here.
Separately, just up the street at the David Whitney Building, there were reports at the end of May that Roxbury Group, a local development firm, is working with another investment firm in Farmington Hills to get an $80m project off the ground that would have it renovated as a boutique hotel. Reports show that other similar hotels in Detroit like the Book-Cadillac and DoubleTree are doing well financially, which makes a strong case for the development of the David Whitney Building.
Investor confidence is up. Buildings are being rehabbed. Businesses are being cultivated. Bring it on, Detroit.

Pentesting Lab Hardware Question/Suggestions
I've never used racks before, so it'd probably be fun to play around with one, but considering I don't plan on having my lab up 24-7, does anyone with more experience think notebooks would be a better way to go? I'd like a lab that I can expand, meaning I'll put more money into it over time, but I don't see myself spending more than $800 initially.
Thanks for the help.

Other Federal Agency Laws and Programs
|U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
|Workplace Poster Requirements for Private Schools
Private schools are employers. As such they are required to post certain Federal and State workplace notices. Federal posters and more information about poster requirements or other compliance assistance matters are available at the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Call toll-free 1-866-4-USA-DOL, or 1-866-487-2365, or visit the DOL poster page.
Additional information about posting requirements, including a chart containing information about who must post certain information, is available on the DOL website. The chart provides links to each section's page where further information is located and for particular posting requirements. The posters can be printed directly from that section's page; there is no need to order them from another source. Directions for printing and size requirements are contained in the information posted on each section's page. The first page (the link above), contains contact phone numbers for further information. The Poster Advisor is designed to help employers comply with the poster requirements of several laws administered by the DOL.
A private school should also contact the relevant State agency to determine what additional notices the State requires employers to post. If the State has requirements that are tougher than federal requirements, for example on minimum wage or occupational safety standards, private schools are required to observe them.
The federal posters that private schools are most likely to be required to post include the following:
- Job Safety and Health Protection (occupational safety and health)
- Equal Employment Opportunity Is The Law
- Your Rights Under The Family and Medical Leave Act
- Federal Minimum Wage
- Notice: Employee Polygraph Protection Act
Some employers may also be required to post:
- Notice to Workers with Disabilities Paid at Special Minimum Wages
- Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

Several sentencing hearings were held in Starke Circuit Court this week where some heavy sentences were handed down to drug offenders.
Joseph Lippner pleaded guilty in a plea agreement with the state to a charge of Dealing in a Controlled Substance (heroin) as a Class B felony. Judge Kim Hall accepted the plea agreement and sentenced Lippner to ten years in the Indiana Department of Corrections with no part of the sentence suspended. As part of the plea agreement, he waived his right to appeal his sentence. He will be able to participate a therapeutic community while incarcerated.

After their loss to the 49ers:
"We beat ourselves. They really didn't beat us," cornerback Jarrett Bush said after the game, via the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
This is ridiculous. First it's Clay Matthews saying the Giants didn't beat them at all, merely they beat themselves. Now they lose again, and surprise surprise they beat themselves again!
It's unfortunate that the Green Bay Packers are in the same division as the Green Bay Packers because the Green Bay Packers really seem to have the Green Bay Packer's number.

Does a hive that's on the verge of swarming sometimes have no eggs or uncapped brood? Somewhere I heard that before the hive throws off a swarm, and in preparation for swarming, the queen tapers off her laying. I'm trying to figure out what's up with a booming hive of mine, that has a huge population and appears to be thriving and extremely productive. I saw some frames with great patterns of capped brood, but no eggs or larvae. Didn't notice any swarm cells either, but I could have missed them. The hive is pretty full of honey but isn't completely honey bound. So I'm hoping they're not queenless, but wondering if they could possibly just be getting ready to swarm.
I'm thinking that I need to watch for pollen being brought in as a sign that brood is being fed (and that maybe I just missed seeing brood - sometimes I have a frighteningly large blind spot .)

Days of rain
Mileage: 34.3
October mileage: 479.5
I didn't think I was going to ride today, but then I read Elden's blog.
Most people who browse this site also read fatcyclist.com, so I don't need to rehash the details. But any entry with the title "Getting the ending right," in regards to cancer, casts a heartbreaking mood over the morning.
I had been sitting at my computer, downing cups of coffee and trying to pull myself out of poor-sleep fatigue. I had already decided I was due for a "reward day." Reward days are the days that I let myself skip the waterlogged rides and/or hikes, put on something comfortable and cotton, grab a New Yorker magazine, and spend a relaxing and dry hour or two at the gym. Most of the time I love to go outside, but the rain and wind does start to wear on me, so every week or 10 days, regardless of what I had planned to do for training, I'll give myself what is essentially a rain day and hunker down inside.
That was going to be today. But after I read Elden's post, something just felt empty about going to the gym. There were thoughts I wanted to process and memories I wanted to confront. I changed out of my gym clothes, put on several layers of fleece, pulled on my neoprene socks and gloves, and headed out the door.
Hard rain fell from dark clouds and flowed around the decimated snow pack. The melt allowed me to ride my road bike, and I went out strong and fast, pedaling hard while squinting at the wet pavement. I was fixated on the movement and flow. My lungs burned and my legs ached. It's a tough place to ride, and a quiet place to think.
I lost my great-grandmother to brain cancer about four years ago. She had lived a full life. She was about 80 years old. But the disease cut her down shockingly fast. I was busy with whatever silly things I was busy with in 2004, and I was only able to visit her twice. The first was in the hospital, when she was still laughing and joking. The second was after the family had already moved her home in the care of hospice. I sat down next to her bed and she contorted her face as she looked at me. Cancer had stolen her ability to string thoughts into words, and she spoke in incoherent babble. Her eyes were filled with terror, and my mom told me that she probably no longer remembered who I was, and that she probably no longer even remembered who she was.
The look in my great-grandmother's eyes said everything, and I was devastated. Here was this vibrant woman, the woman who let me eat grapes out of her back yard and who peppered me with great stories when I was doing my seventh-grade report on the Great Depression, a woman who I had known and loved all my life, robbed of her memories, her personality, her mind. I was in my mid-20s and thought I had long accepted mortality and the realities of cancer. But my great-grandmother's eyes, with their emptiness and fear, brought that reality into sharp focus - cancer is a disease so frightening it can make death seem kind.
Death came mercifully fast for my great-grandmother. She was only with us a few more days beyond my final visit. I listened to distant family members, part of her enormous progeny, speak at her funeral. Their stories of happiness and love helped me realize that even if my great-grandmother left the world remembering nothing about her life, her family remembered and loved her for it. And that was important.
For all of the people in our lives, whatever distant connections we have, it's important to learn, and to live, and to remember.
Sometimes that's all we can do.

thanks for sharing your memoriesReplyDelete
Very evocative post. I found out recently that a friend of mine is confronting something similar. We have to appreciate the time we have on this earth, every day of out lives. We have to tell those we love that we do, indeed, love them every chance we can. More than anything, we must live our lives as if tomorrow will NOT be another day.ReplyDelete
Thanks for expressing in words what I believe most of us are feeling. Not just about Elden and his fight, but about something that I believe has touched all of our lives or will touch all of our lives to some extent at some point in time. We really do take for granted the time we have on this earth. I also agree with Christy, you should write a book. Much peace and love to all.

Some deep thoughts today.ReplyDelete
When I saw the title of Eldon's blog it took me more than an hour to screw up the courage to read it. Like most of his readers, I don't know him, but I know him. The heart breaks.
I lost my dad to cancer suddenly back in 2000. We all thought he was in remission. That the weakness was from his lack of eating due to his salavary glands being cooked by radiation. The doctors either didn't know or were under orders not to tell us, but it had spread to his bones and lungs. One day he was my dad. Hours later he was gone. I still needed to know how to be a man, I needed him to teach me.
Cancer sucks. It robs everything from everyone. On Tuesday we elect the next future direction of our country. Vote for science. Vote for medical research. All the rest is just background noise while you are dieing.
Now I'll be sad for 2 days. Elden and your posts always bring about some sort of emotion with me. Some days it's happy, others very sad. Either way, you both find a way to touch many people's lives in a very personal way. I applaud your post in which we can all share something with. Well done.ReplyDelete
- vw Dave11:48 AM
Quiet applause from me too Jill, for writing of Susan's struggle, Elden's never ending courage and your own grandmothers horrific fight with cancer. Those stories are all sad but very much a part of life itself.ReplyDelete
In the end, we must make each day our own yet reach out to loved ones and tell them how we feel, as Elden suggests in his latest post.
It's still a wonderful world.
My grandfather has dimentia. I saw him about a month ago, and it broke my heart. He's just not the same.ReplyDelete
I sometimes wish death would take him faster too.
Thanks for sharing this.
It's easy to feel the feelings in the moment.The real trick, that forgetful humans find hard, is to hold onto those feelings as time, the great healer, passes by.ReplyDelete
Do that, and your neighbors start to bestow titles on you...
- Julie in AK2:55 PM
Jill, thanks for this. Our lives are changed by the experiences of those we love as they struggle with terrible illnesses and die. It contributes to our own learning in knowing how to die (a growing issue as I get older...and how to live. Thank you for continuing to explore this part of life even while the joyful, fun part is what is so enjoyable. We must experience it all in our lives. Thanks for grappling with it so eloquently.ReplyDelete
Cancer, Dementia, Alzheimers. They are all devestating diseases. I really feel for Elden and his family. I remember how affected Grandma Great was as well as Aunt Diane and Chris's father. I think everyone to some degree has been affected by cancer. It really does make you realize how precious life really is!ReplyDelete

Very good post Jill. We know there is that book rattling around in your computer, when it comes out everyone will experience the excellent writer that you are. Some of the things you write continue to find a place for me to pass on to my high school basketball team. Thank you for that.ReplyDelete
Eldon......I am humbled and in awe of his courage and humanity.
I am celebrating two years free and clear, and it makes me love my family and friends more deeply every single day. Thanks for this post...ReplyDelete
