August 1999
"Can I borrow your notebook?"
Buffy and Willow turned, hearing someone addressing them breathlessly. A petite, almost elfin girl, with warm brown hair raced up to them. She pointed to Buffy's lab notebook for anatomy, a class Giles assured her would help her find weak spots on vampires.
"I missed Monday's class because there was a water pipe break in my dorm and I had to spend all day drying everything out," the girl babbled on, her accent screaming she was from anywhere but southern California.
"Oh, you so don't want my notebook." Buffy grimaced then patted Willow's shoulder. "She's the go-to girl in science."
Willow nodded. "I don't have to meet Oz for another hour, so if you can come with us now to the copy center, you're more than welcome to make a copy."
The girl sighed, her whole body relaxing. "Thank you."
Willow started for the copy center, cutting across the wooded quad. "I'm Willow, and this is Buffy."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ainsley."
"Hi, Ainsley. So, you're not from here, are you?" Buffy hoped that didn't sound lame or judgmental. It was hard making new friends at college, at least for her because of the Slaying thing. She wanted friends, something normal and hoped not to chase anyone away three lines into a conversation.
Ainsley smiled sheepishly. "Pretty obvious, huh? This is my first semester."
"Ours, too," Willow said enthusiastically. "Don't you love it so far?"
Buffy eyed Willow, amused. They had only been in college a week. It was hard to form an opinion one way or the other but Willow was totally in love with the idea of just being in college.
"I'm excited." Ainsley brushed back her long hair. "You're from around here?"
Buffy nodded. "I'm from L.A. originally and Willow's a Sunnydale native. Where are you from?"
"Near Broken Arrow, Oklahoma." Ainsley hunched up shyly, as if expecting ridicule.
"Wow, you're a long way from home. That has to be a little scary." Willow looked very sympathetic for that normal kind of trauma. Buffy knew Willow had never actually experiences it, having lived in sunnydale her whole life. Buffy remembered how it felt moving to SUnnydale and it had been a tad frightening even before she knew about the Hellmouth.
Ainsley shrugged. "A little but I'm excited."
"How did you end up here?" Buffy wondered what would possess anyone not local to come to Sunnydale University. It was small and she couldn't imagine it was well known.
"That's a weird story. I have a full ride scholarship. One of my teachers entered me in the competition for it and I won but Wolfram and Hart would only pay for a pre-veterinary spot here at this university. I guess they have bought a spot in the program here. My family wasn't happy about me moving so far from home but it's the only way I could afford school that didn't involve me starting in community college and working."
"So you want to be a vet?" Buffy's mind churned over the name Wolfram and Hart. Hadn't Angel mentioned them the one and only time he had called her since he moved to L.A? It wasn't that he missed her - damn him - so much as he felt obliged to tell her that Cordelia of all people was working with him and he didn't want Buffy to hear it from someone else. She could have sworn she heard the name from him but she couldn't remember in what context. All she remembered was the sound of his voice and the words; 'Cordelia is working with me.'
"I love working with animals and I love science."
"I love science, too," Willow bubbled. "Only I'm more on the computer side of it."
"How about you, Buffy?" Ainsley's eyes fixed on her. "What's your major?"
"Um...undecided." Buffy grimaced, knowing she sounded as embarrassed as if she were admitting to being an idiot or having an advanced case of v.d.
Ainsley seemed to notice. "It's not so bad. They say most of us will change our majors at least twice."
Buffy shot a look at Willow for support. Buffy knew that there as little chance of her finishing a degree. Her selfish hope of someone taking her place as Slayer was lying in a coma in the Sunnydale convalescence home. Without Faith, Buffy was the only Slayer and the fact she was being allowed to go to school was a miracle in and of itself. "You seem pretty confident where your future is going."
Ainsley shrugged. "Grew up around farms. I love animals, especially horses. I want to be able to take care of them."
"Horses, aren't you afraid of them? They're so big." Willow shivered.
"Oh, no I love horses. I barrel race in the rodeo and I trick ride," Ainsley said as they entered the copy shop. "I used to have local businesses that sponsored me. It was the only way I could afford it. Rodeos and horses are expensive."
"That has to be cool," Buffy said to be polite. She hadn't ever seen either of those things and didn't know much about them but she glommed onto the word 'rodeo' and all sorts of silly pictures were in her mind.
"It's fun." Ainsley went into the copy shop and Willow surrendered her notebook.
"There's going to be a dorm party in our hall tomorrow night. Nothing says you can't come with us," Willow said, eyes bright at the prospect of making a new friend.
Ainsley's blue eyes glowed. "Really? Oh, thank you. I don't know anyone here yet. That would be fun."
"Well, you know us now," Willow said.
Buffy watched the girl perk up even more. Willow was really into it. She was out to wring the most out of their college experience, bound and determined to do it all before the first month was out.
Her warm, freshly copied papers in hand, Ainsley left them with the promise of seeing them at the dorm party.
"Well, she seemed nice," Willow said as they headed back across campus.
"Yeah. It has to be tough to leave everything you know behind and go halfway across the country." Buffy favored Willow with a guilty look. She knew Willow could have gone anywhere and she had squandered her future in order to stay with Buffy. Buffy had wanted to do what her mother wished for her, leave Sunnydale. She should have gone to an east coast school, far away from the Hellmouth but she felt duty bound to stay. More importantly, she wasn't about to leave her mom on the Hellmouth without her there to protect her. "I guess it could be liberating, too."
"Too liberating," Willow said. "A lot of kids drop out because they have too much freedom."
"You're gonna make someone a good mom someday, Willow." Buffy grinned.
"Ha, ha." Willow chucked Buffy's shoulder.
Buffy grinned more broadly, content that she had stayed behind with all her friends. This could be a good thing.
September 1999
Lindsey took a dislike to Sunnydale. It was small, maybe not as little a town as where he was from but smaller than he ever wanted to spend time in. His original home had ruined him for liking anything small and quiet.
He hadn't any plans of ever going to Sunnydale, Hellmouth or not. Wolfram and Hart followed the going-ons in the town, even before Angel became a blip on their radar. A Hellmouth warranted close observation. They had known about the two Slayers, a variety of demons and mages. Lindsey's involvement had been minor at best. He had started looking into it when it came to Wolfram and Hart's notice that Angel was keeping tabs on the place and the Slayer. They had been working on a way to use the Slayer against Angel. She was such an obvious Achilles heel.
As Lindsey did his research, he discovered one girl a week had been picked off by someone or something on the Sunnydale campus. Deaths in Sunnydale rarely warranted mention because they were so frequent. However, these had serial killer hallmarks instead of the usual vamp stuff. The words "Exodus 22:18" was written on the victims. He wondered if the Sunnydale police had twigged on yet that all of the victims belonged to the Sunnydale Pagan club and that the signature of the killer was the biblical passage that read 'You shall not suffer a sorceress to live.' Lindsey suspected the Slayer appeared to have picked up on it, not a surprise since she had a witch for a friend.
He got in touch with his contact in the Initiative. Lindsey didn't know much about them yet but the soldier was willing to sell out for a hefty fee. He didn't know yet what to make of the organization, only that if the government was into demon hunting, it was a bad thing for all involved.
The thing that caught Lindsey's attention, the thing forcing him to Sunnydale, was the full ride scholarship that Wolfram and Hart sponsored in Sunnydale. He hadn't been memoed about it and he was supposed to be kept appraised of all things going on in Sunnydale. Only Lilah's name was on the paperwork and after he did a little digging he saw why. It was his baby sister's name on the scholarship.
Lindsey said nothing about his discovery. He simply told Holland he was going to Sunnydale to check on the Slayer. He was given instructions to try and turn her to their side or, at the very least, set her against Angel. He'd certainly check into it but his private agenda came first, namely getting Ainsley the hell out of Sunnydale and away from Wolfram and Hart.
It didn't take long to locate Buffy on campus when he got there. He had to do that first just to satisfy his bosses. She was easy to spot. She had an air of someone older than her years. She wasn't beautiful but he saw the resemblance to Darla from the old pictures that Wolfram and Hart had in their Angel file; petite, blond, willowy, a hint of arrogance in her eyes. Lindsey knew some men had a type and stuck to it even without realizing it. He and Angel shared a type.
Buffy appealed to Lindsey. The little red head with her was adorable as well. Lindsey wondered if the short, odd-looking young man with the blue lightning bolts dyed into his hair knew just how lucky he was to have such a pretty girl on his arm.
Lindsey trailed them, easy to do with all the kids on campus. No one gave him a second look. He was surprised when they didn't go to Buffy's dorm but instead to the one he knew his sister was staying at. It didn't register that it might be Ainsley they were going to see until they knocked on the door and his sister opened it. They disappeared into Ainsley's room, leaving him standing stunned in the hallway. Lindsey didn't try to approach them. He needed to talk to Ainsley alone. He wanted to talk to Buffy, too, but this wasn't the time. He'd wait for a better chance.

One thing becomes apparent with the H1085's pictures right away, and that's that they suffer way less with the rainbow effect than those of the H1080 I tested.
My favourite test sequence for spotting 'rainbowing' is, as regular readers will know, the opening black and white sequence from Casino Royale. (Although any number of text-heavy game menu screens, like the player lists in the pre-game lobbies of Modern Warfare 2 online, also work well.)
And with the H1085 I found myself substantially less affected by the familiar stripes of pure red, green and blue flitting around over the bright parts of the picture than I'd expected to. The issue certainly isn't completely invisible; flitting my eyes over the screen definitely reveals it. But crucially it's now low-level enough to seldom be a real distraction to the majority of people.
As always, I should say that some people are more susceptible to the rainbow effect than others, so there may still be a few folk who can't live with the H1085's level of the problem, and should consider an LCD model like Epson's impressive TW2900 instead. But I really don't think this situation will apply to many people.
The H1085 also greatly outguns the H1080 with its black level response, as dark scenes suffer less with the slightly grey, crushed, detail-light look noted with the cheaper model. What's more, as hoped the H1085's greater brightness works in harmony with the enhanced contrast range to make images during dark and bright scenes alike look more punchy and engaging, even after calibration.
The H1085's post-calibration colour palette looks more consistently accurate than that of the H1080 too, while detailing and sharpness are at least as acute. In fact, the extra 'snap' to the picture created by the boosted brightness and contrast performance arguably makes the H1085's HD pictures look slightly crisper.
Aside from the residual rainbow effect mentioned earlier, the only other real problems I have with the H1085 are that it runs rather noisily if you make the mistake of leaving the lamp in its Boost mode; that there's noticeable (though not unbearable) judder during 1080p/24 viewing; and that dark parts of the picture are slightly 'alive' with the greyish green dot crawl that's still common with DLP projectors. Oddly, though, while this must certainly impact black level response to some extent, you only really become conscious of its existence if you get really close to your screen, or when a scene contains a lot of low-level green colouring.
These really are exciting times to be buying a budget projector. For as with a number of rival models we've seen recently, while the H1085 certainly doesn't entirely shake off the inevitable shackles of its low price, it's still astonishingly watchable and ambitious for its money. In fact, for me the way it manages to deliver brightness and contrast while still reining in DLP's rainbow effect actually makes it the pick of the current sub-£1k projector crop.
Please be aware that this does not appear to be an LED projector, from the lamp life and reference to lamp this appears to be a standard DLP projector not an LED projector.
Must admit, the current crop of budget projectors are really starting to tempt me. They're now price competitve with, say, a good quality 42 or 46 inch plasma (the latest Panasonic sets spring to mind) so I guess it's a question of whether outright picture quality or screen size is more important. I suspect at the moment I'm more likely to come down on the TV side as there's still too many usability issues with projectors for my liking (noise, need to replace bulbs, cables running a LONG way round the room to reach the projector and of course the need to keep the room dark being the main ones) and once you've factored in a decent screen it's still up over a grand. But good lord it's getting tempting now...
@Gasper - deleted LED from the title. Cheers!
Yea the LED bit has me foxed too! I was wondering where the advantage of the 'LED' system was with a lamp life of 4000hrs..... Now it makes sense thanks to Gasper!
Don't forget you'll also need some audio - and for movies probably 5.1 surround plus an HTPC and tv card to drive it (the PJ) etc....
Just got one today !!!
I am so happy with it !~ it is so much better than my last one ( HD65 Optoma )
contrast is so good . the 2000 lumina is the best thing because i could not watch any thing during the day with my HD65 but H1085 is so bright !!!!
picture is good ! colors are good !!
every thing seems perfect for the money ....

A Note To A Friend (Yes, You, Julie)
Well, this is just to say, how something some people can be... I put something because I have no word for that word that I need when I call these people that. It's a mixture of incredibly infuriating, completely crazy and annoyingly awesome. Julie. Yes, you. I am talking to you on two places while listening to that song that you recommended, "I will follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. It's actually a cool song, other than that god-awful one by Lissie. It is rather sad. Now, I know your blonde and this is rather a lot to take in... (By the way, I was only joking about the infuriating bit.. or was I?) Doesn't matter really. You did a great job of how you put it, "freaking me out". And yes, Charlie did tell me. I was playing along. So I guess you lost that one. =) And yes on this website I do use = when I do smileys not : because you can't really see that on here... Anyway, I hope you've had fun. Bye!

Dr. Emily Altman's answer to "Will dark spots on my skin fade?"
Most of the time dark spots or brown spots left after trauma or a burn to the skin are not permanent, although sometimes they can last a long time. How long they last depends on a number of factors: how much pigment there is in the skin initially. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation tends to be worse and [...]

How do Botox® injections work? Dr. Emily Altman
How do wrinkles form? Lines and wrinkles form by repeated movements of the muscles of facial expression. These movements are a normal daily part of our lives: smiling frowning concentrating raising our eyebrows squinting engaging in emotional discussions. We pay no attention to them – they are automatic. Over time these movements cause the skin [...]

What are the skin flakes in my ear? Dr. Emily Altman
Most commonly, the skin flakes in the ear are due to seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as dandruff. Another common cause is psoriasis. Even chronic scratching of the ear can produce a rash with flaking, called lichen simplex chronicus. Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and eczema can cause flaking, scaling, redness and itching on the back of the [...]

text: Patrick M. Dunne, Robert F. Lusch, "Retailing, 6 Edition" English | 2007 | ISBN: 032436279X | 576 pages | PDF | 7,7 MB Full color, completely current, and packed with practical applications, the sixth edition of the market-leading RETAILING delivers the inside track to the fast-moving retail industry. RETAILING is written by one of the most seasoned author teams in the market. Professor Dunne has more than 40 years of university teaching experience, nine books, and countless hours of consulting work to his credit. An authority in the area of marketing strategy and distribution systems, Professor Lusch has published 15 books. While others may focus on lackluster descriptions of retailers and their most mundane tasks, Dunne and Lusch bring retailing to life, covering the latest developments in the field and detailing behind-the-scenes stories in a conversational style filled with pictures and exhibits. It emphasizes the impact of technology and the Internet, as well as gives solid coverage to international topics and issues unique to service providers. This text also illustrates how retailing as a career choice can be fun, exciting, challenging, and rewarding. This excitement arises from selecting a merchandise assortment at market, determining how to present the merchandise in the store, developing a promotional program for the new assortment, or planning next season's sales -- all in an ever-changing economic environment. And the reward comes from doing this better than the competition. Helping students achieve their personal bests, RETAILING includes a thorough in-text study guide, which includes review questions, writing and speaking exercises, cases covering the gamut of retail operations, a computer spreadsheet case involving a small retail shop, and more. In addition, "Planning Your Own Retail Business" exercises give students experience grappling with the challenges managers/owners face in day-to-day operations, allowing readers to see firsthand the financial impact of retail decisions.

Though Aston Martin has been known to produce some pretty stunning designs all on its own, it's also no stranger to the efforts of independent coachbuilders. It's had a longstanding relationship with Zagato that has given birth to some of the most stunning automotive collaborations ever to roam the open road, but now it's time for another designer to step up to the plate with the creation previewed here.
It's called the Vengeance and it's the latest project from Kahn Design – a British firm perhaps better known for its (often wildly) customized Land Rovers, but with a history of enhancing Astons as well. Adopting a name that fits into traditional Aston nomenclature along nameplates like Vantage, Vanquish and Virage, the Vengeance is being built atop a DB9, but with highly modified coachwork.
As you can see from the preview renderings in the slideshow above, the design calls for features a a bulging hood, slotted grille, wide rear fenders, polished steel roof and window frames, and staggered alloys – 20 inches up front, 21 in the back – inspired by roulette wheels with diamond-cut rims and body-colored centers.
"The Vengeance underlines Kahn Design's expertise in design and coachbuilding," said Azfal Kahn in the statement below. "With a team of over 25 designers in house we're involved in all aspects of product design from automotive to timepieces, interiors, retail space, clothing and accessories."
Only a limited quantity of individually numbered examples will be hand-made in the British Midlands, with pricing and availability yet to be announced but promising what Kahn says will "represent extremely good value for a limited edition coachbuilt car."

Ludacris' Baby Mama Sets The Record Straight On Twitter [Tweets]
The drama between rapper Ludacris and his baby mother Tamika Fuller continues to rise.
Now we previously reported that Ludacris fathered a daughter, Cai Bella Bridges, but he is also putting his baby mother on a $1,800 monthly child support plan. TMZ learned that Luda was also seeking to get a gag orger put on Tamika because he is a "major celebrity of great notoriety". The reason for the gag order was because Tamika is demanding $7,500 for her lawyer's retainer and a car.
The judge did not grant the rapper the order. Tamika kept her mouth shut about everything up until yesterday January 9th, where she took to her twitter to tweet the following:
It saddens me that it has come to this. I did not file on him. Nor would I ever try to attempt to extort my child's fathers.
I've never asked him 2 buy me a car. I had engine trouble. I asked 2 borrow one of his during my pregnancy so that I cld continue 2 get 2 work.
I have never been a stripper. I did waitress there in my past. I have since moved on from that. Some of the best people I know are dancers.
She has yet to meet her father and it's unfortunate because I would never keep him from seeing her.
Let's not lose focus that an innocent child is involved and her best interests come before any of all of this foolishness.
In spite of all that has already happened I just ask that the negativity stop towards him and I. We have a child to co parent. Be blessed.
Looks like she just wants peace. Lets see how this story enfolds!

A Caterpillar bulldozer is a large heavy construction vehicle used to move earth. The Caterpillar dozer does not come with a radio but is pre-wired for one. Caterpillar did this intentionally so that owners could choose to wire a two-way radio or AM/FM radio in the vehicle. Since the dozer is pre-wired, installation is pretty simple. A mounting harness will make the job much easier and result in a clean install with no hard wiring.
Things You'll Need
- AM/FM radio
- 3-Point wire harness
Locate the port in the dozer's cab for the radio. The opening should be two inches by seven inches.
Pull out the three-point connector from the back of the radio port.
Connect a wire harness to the three-point connector. The wire harness clips to the three-point connector on one side and plugs into the radio on the other. The harness manages that connection, so no hard wiring is necessary. Such a harness is available at most mobile electronic stores.
Plug the other end of the wire harness into the radio.
Insert the radio into the radio port on the dozer and push it in until it is flush with the rest of the console.
Screw the radio into the dozer. The exact method for doing this will vary by radio model and dozer model. The radio will either be screwed in from below or from the front using a screwdriver. The radio does not need to be screwed in for it to work.

What my toddler son taught me about the travel banFebruary 24, 2017
This week, President Donald Trump is preparing to release a second executive order halting travel from citizens of the seven Muslim nations. And I'm taking time to write this post, because I promised my son that I would speak up. His preschool teacher is from Iran. We love her and truly hate to lose a great teacher over a unreasonable ban...
How Healthcare Security of American Families—especially breastfeeding moms—Is At RiskJanuary 6, 2017
Obamacare includes pregnancy, maternal and newborn care in its list of 10 essential health benefits insurance companies must provide for consumers. It requires health insurance plans must provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment for the duration of breastfeeding. It amended the Fair Labor Standards Act so employers with more than 50 workers have to give "new mothers, for up to one year after a child's birth, with reasonable time to take unpaid breaks to express breast milk for their nursing children." Under this standard, employers also need to provide mothers a private room that is not a restroom to fulfill her breastfeeding and/or pumping responsibilities. Now, because Trump has threatened to overhaul Obamacare, these services are at stake.
Breastfeeding is a human rightDecember 9, 2016
December 10 is Human Rights Day . And right before the Human Rights Day this year, I received an e-mail from a mother, upset that her employer doesn't support breastfeeding and that her supervisor told her "Not only breastfeeding moms are good moms, formula is as good." I was saddened. I am sad because I feel her. When I asked for breastfeeding accommodation from my previous employer , someone from the company told me, "You can just use formula. It's as good. My son was formula-fed and he went to Harvard." I am sad because my hands are tied. I've been blogging about breastfeeding rights for...
After the StormNovember 29, 2016
One bright afternoon of this August in our neighborhood playground, an older child—probably 5 or 6 years old— threatened my 3-year-old son, saying "Trump will kick you out of here when he becomes President." That was the first time my son learned about the election. We didn't talk about it at home, considering he's still young. I never thought he would learn about it this way in a playground. A shocking lesson for him. And a shocking lesson for me. When it comes to unfriendly comments about immigrants and minority groups, many Asian American people, including me, often have an illusion of "...
I'm A Freelancer—Where's My Paid Family Leave?October 25, 2016
October is National Work and Family Month. Working Mother Magazine identified 100 businesses that take their obligations employees seriously , first and foremost with paid family leave.

I'm one of the approximately 53 million freelancers and independent contractors in the U.S. Yes, I could theoretically stop working for a period of time to welcome my new child into the world. I have been saving for this very reason for quite some...
Rise With MomsSeptember 1, 2016
MomsRising turns 10 years old this month! That's a decade of gains of women, mothers and families. This makes me so excited that I have to write something about it. I've been with MomsRising for three years. Three years ago this month, my son turned five month old and I've been back to work for two months after a three-month-long maternity leave. That two months were tough. I chose to breastfeed, which my company did not support. We didn't have a nursing room, even though California law requires appropriate reasonable space for pumping. I had to pump in the restroom. When I tempted to wash my...
The Making of Breastfeeding ControversyJune 14, 2016
Last summer I had a chance to sit down in a indoor playground cafe and share my unfortunate workplace nursing story with Jennifer Grayson , an author, journalist, columnist, and a leading expert on environmental issues. She is also a mother of two. At that time she was working on a book about the breastfeeding debate. Surely breastfeeding has been a hot topic and there were already plenty of books out there revolving around this topic. But I was happy to see one more book adding to the list. Not because I'm a (crazy) breastfeeding activist as Wikipedia labeled me, but because I see the fact...
What if you were born tomorrow- with no paid family leave?March 3, 2016

You have a 25% chance to be born in a family living in poverty and a 0.6% chance to die before turning one year old. No, I am not presuming that you were born in a developing or an undeveloped country. I am saying if you were born tomorrow here in America, an industrialized country. This is how. If you were born tomorrow in America, chances are both your mom and dad work. Women are now half of the entire paid labor force and moms...
When Companies Help Making Life Easier for Breastfeeding MomsJanuary 14, 2016
Frequent travel is part of my job. When still breastfeeding, I often flew to work with my breast pump and storage bags; flew home with my breast milk in coolers. During that 30 months, my dear pump and coolers have been to Los Angeles, Phoenix, Columbus, Austin, Taipei, and other cities with me. They were my best travel buddies. It was never easy, of course. Carrying extra luggage, finding time and place to pump, figuring out ways to store and ship the milk, going through the TSA security check… all of these make my business trips harder. I took it as a norm. Like all the other working...

Working Moms Still Don't Have Enough Support at Work. Let's Change This.December 11, 2015
When I was still a working reporter serving as a staff writer at a Chinese-language newspaper's Los Angeles Bureau, I sat on the floor in the bathroom stall between assignments to pump breast milk for my then 3-month-old son while my colleagues went to bathroom, knocked on the door and occasionally told me to hurry up. After each pumping session I moved to the office kitchen to wash the pump parts, trying to ignore my colleagues stating behind me and saying "don't wash your dirty panties here."
When childcare providers can't afford childcareNovember 25, 2015
Thanksgiving is around the corner. Today my two-and-half-year-old came home from his day care with a thankful turkey. Thankful turkey, you know, the classic construction paper turkey lists what children are thankful for. We had this conversation. "Mama, look at my turkey!" "Wow! And what's this?" "Things I xiexie for." "And what do you xiexie for?" "Udon noodle soup." "…Anything else?" "Mommy and Daddy." So my little one is especially thankful for udon noodle soup. As for myself, I am especially thankful for my child's day care teachers. (I'm thankful for udon noodle soup, too! It's what...
Are you one of the 56% American Mothers Who "Prefer" to Stay Home?October 17, 2015
New data from Gallup suggests that 56% of moms would prefer to stay home with kids than work outside the home, and 39% of women without young children would like the role of a homemaker. This is down from recent years. According to Gallup, in the late 1990s to early 2000s, more than half of women would have chosen to work outside the home, if given the chance. Soon after that, the numbers flipped back to what we see today. The current numbers look like what one would expect from a society with members happy with the status quo, and may lead to the question: Who are groups like MomsRising even...
Paternity Leave Empowers Dads to Help with BreastfeedingSeptember 30, 2015
Chinese University of Hong Kong recently implemented a policy allowing mothers breastfeeding breaks. The policy was criticized by an anonymous Internet user, claiming it's "unjust to men." The post went viral and became the subject of a backlash from other Internet users. Some said, "We're sure the university would gladly apply the same break policy to any man who actually get pregnant, deliver the baby, and breastfeed." Forget about the amusing (and silly) debate, a recently published Australian study said that man actually can—and should—help with breastfeeding. How many people does it take...
Thoughts on Trump, breastfeeding, & #WomensEqualityDayAugust 26, 2015
On August 26, 1920, women achieved the right to vote in the US, thus the Women's Equality Day. On this very special day, I want to do something that I rarely do--write a little bit about my thoughts on this heating presidential election. Living in America, I often have an illusion that we women are completely equal to men. Unfortunately, whenever I have such an illusion, things always happen to break it. Something like, just yesterday, the GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump once again called the FOX anchor Megyn Kelly a "bimbo." Trump's twitter tirade against Kelly was soon challenged,...
A tough cookie's pregnancy journeyAugust 5, 2015
I was a working reporter when I first found myself become pregnant. Six weeks into my pregnancy, the space shuttle Endeavour made its last landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The press lined up as early as 2AM to secure a spot in order to catch a nice footage. I was among them. When the space shuttle finally landed at 1pm, I have been stood there for 11 hours straight without even one bathroom break. I had heat stroke and was a little dehydrated; I thought I might lose my baby.
Breastfeeding: Here, There, EverywhereJuly 2, 2015
This past Sunday I joined other dozens of mothers for San Diego Day to Normalize Breastfeeding at Kellogg Park in beautiful La Jolla. Yes, it's the day to "normalize" breastfeeding, not to "protect" breastfeeding. I used to believe that breastfeeding is something that needs to be protected, until a recent trip to Taiwan. I called the island home for 20 years, but I have not visited the "home" for a long time. I was surprised by what I saw during this trip.
When Breast Milk Goes Big BusinessMay 14, 2015
This past weekend I joined a dozen of local mothers (and fathers) for a stroll walk , raising funds and awareness for the importance of human donor milk. Why donor milk? Well, much has been said about the benefits of breast milk for babies. It is the feeding method recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) and the World Health Organization(WHO). And for the 500 premature babies born each year who contract a potentially deadly disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), breast milk is more than the recommended feeding method. It can mean the difference between life and death...

Why I Love Tax Season (and why Congress should keep making it lovable)April 17, 2015
This year, thank to the Child and Dependent Care Credit, I saved $400. How far can $400 go? For my family, it equals to one week of mortgage, or two weeks of groceries, or five weeks of gasoline. It may not sound much, but is indeed very helpful. Coincidentally (and unfortunately), I had an accident just a couple of weeks ago. I was hit from behind by an unlicensed driver. My 22-month-old was in the car when the accident happened. Since the other party was not licensed nor insured, I had to pay for the damage with my own insurance. I have a $500 collision deductible and the $400 child care credit kicked in just in time to help me fix my car and replace my baby's infant car seat.
Many years after college, I'm still working my butt off for tuitionJanuary 12, 2015
Just a couple of months ago, I helped to translate Dr. Glenn Doman's Fit Baby, Smart Baby, Your Baby to Mandarin Chinese. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Doman wrote, "The early development of mobility in newborns is a vital part of their future ability to learn and grow to full potential." When translating this sentence, I looked at my 20-month-old. Surely we all know that learning begins at birth and the brain develops faster between birth to age 3 than any other period of life.
My Game Plan to Protect Kids from Junk Food this Holiday SeasonDecember 24, 2014
On a recent Sunday in my church, a nice lady tried to feed my 18-month-old a piece of chocolate. She wasn't happy when I politely said "no." "Come on, why don't you give him a treat? It's just a leftover Halloween candy," she said, turned to my child, "I'll give you a treat when mommy is not around." The incident made me think. Surely our culture is strutted with candy and other junk foods. Every so often, I feel that I'm fighting against the whole world just to protect my child from junk foods. But I cannot be the food police around him 24/7. That "leftover Halloween candy" remind me that,...

Yesterday, on the Today Show Michele Borba discussed 7 things parents should never say to their teen or tween. As a younger person who hears these things from my parents still, I did not agree with all of her advice and wanted to put a summary (and my comments) on here.
1. NEVER SAY: "How was your day?"
DO SAY: "Tell me about your day." Or "Tell me about your Baseball game."
Teens do often respond to "how was your day" with a one-word type of grunt and Borba argues that asking more open-ended questions that require a more specific answer is better. Yet, I often did not feel like talking to my mom right when I got in the car, or right when I got home from school. There is no point in asking specific questions if it is not a good moment for your teen.
-Do ask your teen more specific questions, but make sure you are asking at a good time for your child, when your teen is not unwinding from a long day.
2. NEVER SAY: "Tell him to leave you alone!"
DO SAY: "Where did it happen?"
I actually think asking a bunch of specific questions will make them feel prodded, I do think that you should empower your teen with knowing the facts if they are being bullied. Yet, I always felt that my parents asking me lots of detailed questions made their genuine empathy appear to me as meddling or nagging.
-Do not ask a bunch of questions right away, ask them if they are ok and if they need some space. Tell them you respect their privacy and when and if they're ready you can try to help them work through it.
3. NEVER SAY: "What was she wearing?"
DO SAY: "What do you enjoy about her?"
Absolutely, agree that there should be less emphasis on appearance and clothes and more about deeper interests.
-Avoid statements about clothes, height, weight, popularity and emphasize characteristics you want your son or daughter to value.
4. NEVER SAY: "Toughen up!"
DO SAY: "You seem really upset."
I would hate if my parent said either one of these things to me. Empathy is absolutely necessary, but "you seem really upset" is obvious and unnecessary.
-"tell me more" would be better. It shows you are listening, you are empathetic and there is no judgement, it is also very open-ended, if they decide to keep talking-great, if not don't push it.
5. NEVER SAY: "Why did you do that?"
DO SAY: "What did you hope would happen?"
I call "why did you do that" type responses 'slippery statements' because you usually never get a positive response from a teen. I think asking them what they thought would happen is a little less demanding and threatening and would work very well.
-add: "are you happy with the result now?"
6. NEVER SAY: "Relax!"
DO SAY: "Let's find ways to help you de-stress."
I hate when people say "Relax!" to me! I agree with Borba with the sentiment that you want your teen to find a way to de-stress, but I would never, ever say this to them. If my parent said that to me, I would probably laugh.
-Don't tell them you want to find ways to de-stress, ask them open-ended questions like "what would make you feel better?"
7. NEVER SAY: "Get over it!"
DO SAY: "I'm so sorry. You must hurt!"
This is the same principle as number 4 and number 6.
-Show them empathy, tell them you care, and try to ask open-ended questions that get them to come to their own answers.
Here is the original article from which I quoted and commented.

Alleged Damage
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 24, 2013POSTED: Friday, May 24, 2013
We are always happy to take responsibility for issues when they occur due to our negligence. In this case, we were not a fault. We also spoke with Schumacher. To the contrary of what Ms. Adams stated, they informed us that their findings were inconclusive. There was no evidence that our service was the cause of the issue. To further support our position, we did watch the surveillance footage of the vehicle on property. At no time during the car wash did water enter the vehicle. The doors and windows were secure while in the tunnel. There was also nothing brought into the vehicle that could have possibly been spilled into the gear box. If water did damage the area, it was not due to any of the services we provided on property that day. The interior of the vehicle remained dry and water-free.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Chrysler car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of high-value when driving their Concorde around town. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. When your Chrysler Concorde rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants a trusted name in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Chrysler vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile.
The handling of your Chrysler Concorde relies on a well-built suspension. And you would definitely feel the difference without Chrysler Concorde control arm bushings. These small components absorb annoying vibrations that you would normally feel when you drive down the road. Control arm bushings are pressed into each control arm and provide a point for the hardware for your control arms to fasten to the frame. If a control arm bushing goes bad, you'll need quality replacement parts to correct the noise and vibration problems.
Procuring new Chrysler parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Concorde parts on the internet. Don't let a Control Arm Bushing repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Chrysler Concorde part for your project or repair. Chrysler Concorde Control Arm Bushing parts for 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Remember those silly t-shirts that said, "My parents traveled to (name of city) and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"? Well, my body and brain are saying a similar thing to me this morning: "Our resident mind decided we needed a muscle relaxant last night and all we got was this lousy hangover".
My back was killing me last night, even after a Neuromuscular Therapy appointment, an hour on the TENS unit, and a little more bodywork by Mary in the evening. So, I took a muscle relaxant to decrease the muscle spasms in my lower and mid back, and hoped that I perhaps might sleep through the night, something I haven't done for weeks now. Sadly, I still awoke at 2am, did yoga for twenty minutes, subsequently removing myself to the downstairs bedroom for the remainder of the night. Did I sleep? Yes, with continued discomfort, and awoke with a brain filled with stuperous cotton candy, awful cotton mouth, and a body ready for nothing but lethargy. I had to laugh, knowing that today would be a 12-hour workday, with per diem home visits from 7:30 to 9:00am, regular job from 9 to 5, and evening clinic from 5 to 8pm. Amphetamines, anyone?
That said, my day today has been spent assuaging the pain of others, obtaining narcotic scripts for chronic pain, giving attention to others' aches, pains, and complaints. Sometimes, based upon my relationship with a patient, I might decide to share with them my own struggles with chronic pain if I feel that my personal disclosure would be of some benefit. More often than not, though, I realize that I, as a working professional, have access to many other treatment choices (ie: massage, neuromuscular therapy, acupuncture, a gym with a pool), and thus the disclosing of my own struggle could, in fact, elicit envy in my patient rather than my intended purpose of commonality. Therapeutic use of self is a tender beast.
Speaking of tender beasts, my back twinges and aches now as I type. Non-steriodal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like Tylenol, Motrin, and Aleve do nothing. Massage seems only to scratch the surface now. Trigger-point injections did almost nothing, and a spinal injection yielded less than two weeks of moderate relief. Where to turn? My patients take narcotics for chronic pain: Oxycontin, oxycodone, Fentanyl, Percocet, Vicodin. I'm just not willing to go there. So, here we are, me and my pain. Oh yeah, and the hangover, too.
Over time, pain becomes part of the physical and psychological landscape, like the feeling you have being in your own skin, or the familiar brush of one's arm against one's side. Pain becomes an appendage, something that's just there, like an extra limb growing in the wrong place. It becomes difficult to even imagine what it was like to not have this pain. Was there even a time when it wasn't there?
So, when my patients complain of pain and ask for meds, I serve them as best I can, knowing full well that those meds may mask the pain to some extent, but the underlying pathology---if one can be discerned at all---often remains a mystery. Even those with correctable pathologies---a herniated disc, for example---may find little or no relief after spinal surgery, the pain sometimes even worse than before their operation. Sadly, there are many cases where the cure indeed seems worse than the disease. And then it's too late.
For now, I grin and bear it, laugh if I can, and try to make friends with this ache that just never seems to go away. If you, dear Reader, suffer from a similar chronic and recalcitrant affliction, welcome to an enormous club. Membership is free, of course, but the price you will pay is dear.

Smile, and sit down at the table
You smile, and sit down at the table. You admire the table, not wanting to look up at your Mum.
You can't resist the urge, and finally, you look up. Dad's glasses are way too big for Mum, and the keep falling off. She looks like a schoolgirl playing dress-up.
You knew you shouldn't have done that. You collapse into fits of laughter. Mum...

Inboard motors in Freezing Weather
We live in Pensacola Florida and do not typically get freezing temperatures for days. Is there anything I should do to prevent the engine from freezing or will the water temperature that the boat is sitting in keep it from freezing? I hate to sound like a total idiot....but we haven''t ran across this type of weather since we''ve had our boat. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wandered the dirty streets, watching all the people with their own little lives, not bothering to help me, a skinning, soaking girl. And why would they. If I saw me alone in the city, would I help. No, probably not.
I sat down on a well-graffitied bench and shut my eyes. I was asleep in a few minutes. Distorted faces leered at me, shouting and accusing. A house. A rose. A letter. A boat, alone in a wide, wide sea. Storms, storms. Then a boy. A smile on his face, he reached out to hold me. I woke with a start, screaming loudly. People stared, gave me weird looks, but I didn't care. I was lost. If I just knew what those things meant, maybe I could know who I was. But nothing came. I waited, my breath going, until the scream faded. Still nothing. Except that face, the boy's face. I knew him. I could feel it.

The list, ping
Just kill the beast already
Yet the Government is the answer to the health care question. But they cannot even hand out rebate checks.
Borrow money from China so that we can finance the purchase of foreign vehicles, for the large part.
At the same time, we REDUCE the supply of used cars, we REDUCE the supply of used parts, we increase the cost of used cars and used parts -—
And we do NOTHING at all for the environment!
It takes far more energy to build new cars, and to destroy old cars, then any small fuel economy gain in the US fleet.
The environment would be better off WITHOUT this plan, this is ANTI-RECYCLING, this is WASTEFUL!
Anytime you give away "free" money it's bound to be "popular." People love stealing other people's money.
What the heck are these guys thinking? This is a Fed program. Did anyone think they'd get a fast turn around?
I've done Government work before. 30 days is fast. 60 days not to bad. 90 - 120 days about average. Oh yeah, and its ALWAYS the vendors fault.
This "stimulus" may cause a few dozen bankruptcies. Sounds stimulating!
how historic!
So, what do we have? Billions more dollars thrown away, tens if not hundreds of thousands of serviceable used cars destroyed for no good reason, a complete failure to stimulate the Detroit 3, a temporary spike in sales that only steals from the future, and probably a net loss for energy savings.
Par for the course for the government, I'd say.
Let's see if I have this right (corrections welcomed.)
3 billion allocated for "cash for clunkers", and it runs out of cash at 1.8 billion.
Thus, the overhead for a few months of clunkernomics is (this can't be right) 40 percent?
So (assuming my arithmetic and assumptions are right) the same government that wants to "save" taxpayer money by taking over healthcare has a 40 percent overhead for just a few months of (inefficient) paperwork?
Help me out here, what am I missing?
I believe that I could save us tens of millions if only President Obama would name me... clunker czar! .
our local chevy dealer has about 50 c4c's and they have been paid for 2 all of $9k out of over $200k...they said that the gubmint rejects applications for trivial reasons (no dotted i's or crossed t's) and then it takes 10 days for re-submission...they are really worried that they will not get paid because all of the cash will run out before the backlog clears so they have stopped taking new deals
What a FAILURE. IMAGINE if the Fed.gov tries a gun "buyback" program! LOL.
I was noting the huge number of very negative stories that appeared today regarding Obama and his fellow democrats:
Here is a quick list:
1) "Doctor" at Barney Frank townhall exposed as a lying fraud and liberal activist name Sheila Levitt;
2) New Mexico secretary of state and two cronies indicted on 50 counts of corruption;
3) Nevada ACORN vote thief pleads guilty
4)Waxman and another moonbat demand unprecedented examination of private sector insurance company records
5)Huge series of explosions rock Iraq killing about 100
6)Msnbc busted for doctoring townhall gun video
7)Vermont democrat legislator Ed Flanagan arrested for lew behavior in a YMCA
8) Obama export-import bank—a us government pseudo-bank supported by US taxpayers loans 2 billion to a Soros infested, Mexican mafia-PRC cash drenched corrupt Brazilian oil company to explore for oil and create jobs in Brazil while Obama shuts down coal, nuclear and oil exploration in the US. Palin and WSJ strike again!
9)Obama's clearly incompetent CIA appointee Panetta severely criticized from various quarters
10)fashionistas frown on Michelle shorts
11)Biden speaks at fundraiser
It'll be made permanent, like all government programs. They have a new generation of middle class people hooked on the gov't teat. Car sales will tank when it ends because people know the gov't will resurrect it. It'll be back more or less as a permanent fixture with no auto sales being made while people wait for the next round of give-aways. Used car prices will continue to soar as people hold their vehicles off the market waiting for the next round of freebies.
Government tampering with formerly free markets at its very finest.
"I agree with the guy who said this is the most successful, worst-run program ever," he said.
Welcome to Democrat-run Obamacare.
Why do they keep up the lie it is popular? After the first billion it died on the vine due to the problems. The problems made it an unpopular program.
Question for Bozo and the boys: Is winding this program down an excuse for not paying the dealers the money you owe them for rebates? Are the remaining dealers to now get punked by the government?
Wow, I hope so because this will go a long way towards making Bozo even more unpopular than he is now. BTW, if the program is so frickin' popular, why did about 200 NY car dealers drop out of it today?
Another one bites the dust:
Cash for Clunkers
Social Security
Fannie Mae
Freddie Mac
What did I miss?
I wonder if we will ever see an accounting of where the billions of dollars went in this fiasco?
Apparently, it hasn't gone to the dealers who sold the cars. So where did it go?

Hazel Barker met Mr Mackey at the family home in Egremont, Cumbria on Sunday to offer his condolences.
Pc Barker, 44, a father of four, died on Friday when the bridge he was standing on was swept away by flood waters in Workington.
Mr Mackey said Mrs Barker was ''understandably distraught'' but overwhelmed by the response to her husband's death.
He said: ''More than 25,000 people have left moving tributes to Bill on a dedicated Facebook page and many messages of condolence have been passed to the family.
''To Bill's wife and children, Bill was a great husband and dad, and they take great comfort from knowing that his heroic actions have been recognised by so many.''
He said Pc Barker's wife asked him to thank everyone who had supported the family since his death.
Mr Mackay said: ''She is surrounded by an incredibly strong family and it is this that is keeping them going through this difficult time.
''They have also asked me to pass on their thanks to everyone for respecting their request for privacy so they are able to grieve in peace, and ask that this continue as they come to terms with their loss.''
Pc Barker's funeral is expected to take place later this week and will be open to members of the public who want to pay their respects.

When a jury finds a defendant not guilty of a crime, it hasn't necessarily determined that he or she is innocent. All the acquittal does, in legal terms, is establish that the prosecution didn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. In fact, an acquittal is entirely appropriate if jurors believe the defendant committed the crime but aren't close to certain. In that way, an acquittal doesn't amount to actual vindication.
Example: In 2013, a six-person jury acquitted former neighborhood-watch volunteer George Zimmerman of murder and manslaughter charges relating to the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. After the verdict, one of the jurors said that there simply wasn't enough evidence to convict: "You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty." (See A Reasonable Doubt.)

A perfect Getaway Rental In Upstate New York's Lush Dairy Country
Handmade house on 70 acre former dairy farm. Halfway between Cobleskill and Cooperstown. Very secluded, very peaceful, with 2 ponds, babbling brooks, woods and apple orchards and wild heron on the wetlands. This is one of the most relaxing, rustic spots you can imagine. Come and hike the land, cook great meals, or have a great nap in a rocking chair by the fire! Private and quiet, yet near to many wonderful things to do like Howe Caverns, Cooperstown, Glimmerglass Opera, antiquing, visiting Organic farms, Museums, The Baseball Hall of Fame, The Adirondacks, and on and on.
The farm is surrounded by state land, so Fall Foliage is amazing. And apple picking is a perfect afternoon activity. Upstate NY is amazing in the fall- crisp, chiseled days and brisk, clear nights. Enjoy our fire pit on the back patio under the stars.
Swimming in the spring-fed ponds in summer is so refreshing. The fishing in our ponds is wonderful. Our land glows at night with fireflies all July, and August brings nearby festivals, carnivals, and fairs all over the area.
The driveway is plowed in the winter for easy access, and the sledding and snowmobiling are fantastic. The woodstove is the heat source and heats the whole house beautifully and easily. And there is plenty of wood to keep it cozy all day and all night.
And the spring is a perfect time to come up- the brooks are babbling with melted snow, the acreage is turning green and starting to bloom, and the wild turkey, deer and heron abound!
The house has great amenities- Wood burning stove, dishwasher, microwave, double oven, well stocked kitchen with all hand appliances, wrap around porch, deep tub, satellite TV, DVD player and movie library, WIFI DSL line, CD player, King bed in sleeping loft,washing machine, futon, books and toys, linens and towels.
House comfortably sleeps 4-6 people. It is perfect for a family, a group of friends, or as a solo getaway from it all. The house is very kid-friendly, and well stocked with toys. Dogs are allowed with an extra deposit.
Monthly and Season rates can be discussed. Popular Holiday weekends and weeks (Christmas, New Year's, July 4th, Valentine's day, Labor Day, Memorial Day) are slightly higher in price. Fully refundable Deposit required for each rental.
The farm is 3 hours from New York City, 45 minutes from Albany, 25 minutes to Cooperstown, and 20 minutes to Cobleskill.

Keywords: Cottage, rustic, scenic, secluded, woodsy
We bought this beautiful acreage years ago, as a respite from city life. There was no house on the property, it had been torn down ages before. And we fulfilled a dream of hand-building a home for ourselves, and family, and friends.
mindy purchased this cottage in 1997
We love upstate NY for it's gorgeous rolling hills, and pastural openness.We bought this exact property for the acreage, the secluded oasis, the views, the ability to build and create. And we wanted to lovingly restore the 125 year old barns.
The Quietest place we know.
The land is ripe, the views elating, The privacy amazing.
The ponds for swimming, the orchards for picking, the sky for it's awe inspiring vastness
Watching storms roll in over the mountains.
We had a perfect time! the kids loved swimming in the pond, hiking around the land, and the close proximity of Cooperstown. It was a great family getaway. Thanks for all the help
I recently stayed here with my dogs, sister and our significant others. It is a really nice property with lots of fun spots for our pups to explore! The hiking trails were great even when wet. The home has everything you need to be comfortable and have a great time but it is worth noting that there is not much privacy. It is one large open area with a loft. It worked well for us since we are all family but may be tough for people who go to bed at different times. Overall it was a great experience and we all look forward to visiting again!
My wife and I live in Westchester New York and wanted to break the routine and to enjoy the foliage in up-state NY, over an extended weekend.
We also wanted to bring our yellow lab dog.
This place was it.
Formerly a farm - lots of acreage.
About 3 hour drive and the we were in a remote area 30 minutes west of Albany by car.
The house is spacious and open air with high, cathedral ceilings.
All the amenities and cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, silverware were there.
Even seasonings, cooking oil, plastic bags, etc.
The house is pretty old, maybe 20 years? Heating was burning wood.
It got pretty cold in early October.
The furniture was old and tired looking. The lounge couch was drooping in the middle.
The shower was low pressure with only small amount of hot water.
It's in a rural area so no swanky night clubs and posh restaurants around.
About 30 minute drive to a local grocery.
The rolling hills are beautiful.
Plenty of outdoor nature activities - hiking, cycling, jogging, swimming in the pond in summer, golf, etc.
An old tv in the loft bedroom, perhaps a 45 inch. Low resolution.
Wifi was in good working condition.
Cell phones don't work.
Rolling hills, barns, ponds and grassy fields make up an incredible 360 degree view surrounding this home. The property is peaceful and serene.
As you walk around this former farm, it's not hard to imagine the back-breaking effort it would have taken to clear the land, cut the timber, build the barns, tend the cows, the stone fences and the apple orchards. The swimming pond is a special treat. The house has a funky charm about it. Mindy's farm is a great place to "get away from it all".
After reviewing several properties on VRBO, trying to find the perfect fit for my family, I stumbled across this gem. My wife and I and the kids (ages 19, 17, 10 & 7) took a cross country road trip from Oregon to visit the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for induction weekend. We found that this farmhouse was centrally located between the town with all the stores and Cooperstown, but also right in the middle of the country. It was awesome waking up to the sunrise on the farm and going for a walk on the property. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pond and catching fireflies (which we don't have in Oregon!) at night. Mindy was a gracious host and was excellent in her communication when I had any questions about the property or the area. Would most definitely stay here again the next time we travel to upstate New York.
My family (including the dog!) had a nice quiet get away. It was nice to be able to reconnect as a family!

NEW ORLEANS - General manager Ozzie Newsome left little doubt about Joe Flacco's future with the Ravens at Tuesday's Media Day.
Although Flacco will be a free agent after the Super Bowl, Newsome said the quarterback won't be going anywhere.
"I can say this, Joe and I are in a good spot," Newsome said. "I did Jonathan Ogden's contract, I did Ray Lewis' contract, I did (Haloti) Ngata's contract, I did (Terrell) Suggs', and we just did Ray Rice's a year ago.
"So we'll be able to get that thing done. But one thing we do know, he'll be playing football for us next year, and sometimes that's all you can look forward to is just next year."
That last comment indicates the Ravens will likely use the franchise tag on Flacco if they have to, but they'd likely prefer to come to a long-term arrangement.
Safety Ed Reed is also slated to become a free agent at the end of the season, and Newsome wasn't as definitive about that one.
The 34-year-old Reed, who has contemplated retirement multiple times in recent years, said last week that he plans to play next season. But on Monday, he backpedaled from those comments a little bit.
"That question there was asked a couple days back, about this being my last ride," Reed said. "I'm not focusing on that right now, so that question is pointless to answer, really. I'm not even thinking about that."
What's Newsome's stance on bringing Reed back next season?
"You know what? I want to sit down and talk with Ed once it's all said and done," Newsome said Tuesday. "I know he's totally focused on winning this game in his hometown and once the air clears, Ed and I have gotten to a point where he and I can really talk man to man, and I think we'll be able to have that conversation a week or two from now."
Update: Might as well throw one more similar comment from Newsome on Flacco's pending free agency:
"Well, Joe and I have a good understanding of where his contract is. People fail to realize that he was a dropped pass away from getting to the Super Bowl last year. So what he did was just back up to what he did a year ago. He's doing a great job. He has great chemistry with Jim Caldwell. Hopefully, as long as I'm the general manager in Baltimore, he's the quarterback in Baltimore."

Snap Out of It.
With a startled jolt, Brent realized that he had not once taken his eyes off of the tavern door below his window. His trance was replete with harsh memories of his own unraveling. How could he have gone from such promising fulfillment, to where he was now? Alone, disgusted, and filled with self disappointment. A writer who could no longer write. At thirty-three years of age, Brent Madison had done all that he was capable of.
He sat down at his laptop, after locating it's keyboard under several take out menus, and a New York Mets scorecard from the first and the last game he attended with his father. He paused to look over the scorecard.
The day of the game was a special day of bonding between them. Brent had been 'acting out' in elementary school that year, and the school psychologist deduced it was rooted in fear of his family falling apart. His parents had been constantly bickering for months, and young Brent was witnessing his universe coming apart. His father went all out that day to assure Brent that his fears were ungrounded. Between innings, he would tell Brent of family stories and life lessons, and most importantly, as he turned and held his son tightly, he lovingly promised Brent that there was nothing that could ever separate his loved ones from him. And then he made Brent repeat it back to him. It was just then that the blistering foul ball had rocketed into the back of his father head, sending his eyes up into his lids, before slumping on top of the lad, as dead as Pauly Shore's career.
The impending neurosis caused young Brent to stop talking. But, as an intriguing byproduct of this silent condition, Brent Madison took to writing instead. This life altering aspect of his condition was not fully appreciated at the time. His Mother, fearing a trauma filled life for her only boy, decided that they both needed to confront their grief and loss, and so they planned to attend opening day games for the Mets from that year on. It was to be a family affair, in remembrance of her fallen husband, and a reassurance to Brent, that life was as beautiful as it was unjust. But when it came right down to it, it was just stinking odds on their first outing, when that broken bat flew into the stands, and drove Mrs. Madison's nose cartilage firmly into her brain, causing her instant demise.
Once again, Brent Madison jolted back to reality. He rubbed his eyes, demanding these horrific thoughts recede back into his sub-conscience, and allow him to get to the business of writing.
Yes, this is what was needed now. Rather than self-pity, he had to forge anew. This would be his turning point. Within ten minutes, he had noted that at age thirty-three, he had lived as long as Jesus Christ, and was failing miserably to list comparable accomplishments.
