|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In the past week, many professionals and fans alike have been discussing who are the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL. A lot of the controversy has been centered on our beloved New England Patriot, Tom Brady. Now this is not question about statistics, because in that case Brady would only be a top 10 quarterback and Matthew Stafford or Tony Romo could make the top 5. One has to take into consideration the lack of a receiving corps and a lousy offensive line the Patriots had last year. And even with those deficiencies, the Patriots finished the year 12-4, and won its way to the AFC championship game.
However, let's be honest here, Brady is not the unanimous MVP force he was 5 years ago; his skills have worsened slightly. Brady is having less wherewithal in the pocket (which does not help with his lack of mobility already), and is having more just plain inaccurate passes that leaves Pats' fans scratching their heads asking, "How did that happen?" I should clarify, Brady still has the perennial "IT" to win games, but it may not be as evident as five years ago.
But back to the issue at hand, let's say pick the best five quarterbacks to lead you into the playoffs and win a championship. It is like Vince Lombardi said, "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing." Those elite QBs have to be Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and the last one is up for interpretation, but for the sake of argument, I would say Philip Rivers. Some critics have said Andrew Luck or Russell Wilson should take Brady's spot on the top 5, but this accusation cannot be met yet.
Luck and Wilson will be top 5 quarterbacks when Brady and Manning call it quits. Wilson and Luck are just on the outside looking in. Firstly, they simply have not played long enough to really be considered. They are entering their third year in the pros, and have not won an MVP or wowed anybody with their stats. However, Luck is building his legend with stunning comebacks victories, and Wilson won the most recent Super Bowl.
But Luck's regular season seemed to almost unravel when he lost Reggie Wayne (Indy almost lost to the Texans and Titans and could not win against a good team), and Wilson had a great running game complimented with a stellar defense. Once Luck can get that MVP or Super Bowl title and Wilson can show he is the catalyst to his team's success, that is when these QBs will be in the upper echelon.
And Luck and Wilson will be in this coveted group, you just have to give them time. Brady is entering his 16th season, while Luck and Wilson have not even shown their best stuff yet. Brady and Manning will pass their respective torches to Wilson and Luck when the time comes, but it is just not now in 2014.

Astronaut Kimiya Yui, who returned to Earth in December after a five-month stay on the International Space Station, now says he is ready to go to the red planet.
"I'm good for a Mars mission," Yui, 46, said in a recent interview, noting he underwent testing for a potential mission there immediately after his stay on the ISS.
"My health condition is perfect. I took part in an experiment aimed at preventing muscles from weakening even without frequent physical exercise," he said. "Thanks to progress in technology, parts of my muscles are stronger than before the ISS mission."
The test, which simulates a landing on Mars, showed his sense of balance had recovered.
"I was the first person to clear all the items in the test," Yui said, adding, "I think I'm suitable for a Mars mission."
As for the ISS mission, which included his first space flight, Yui said: "The rocket launch was unexpectedly smooth and quiet. I got excited the moment I became weightless. Hand in hand, my two fellow astronauts and I shared the joy of the moment."
Asked whether he felt nervous when he was docking the ISS with the Kounotori 5 unmanned cargo spacecraft in August, Yui said he thought everything would be all right because he had fully prepared for the moment.
But he added he really felt "relieved" once he had successfully used the space station's robotic arm to gain control of the transport, noting the importance of the "national project."
Yui said he worked hard on his experiments during the mission.
"I tried to collect the best possible data," he said, noting that Japan's Kibo research module is set up to conduct a vast array of experiments.
From April, Yui will work to help improve the Kounotori and by making the spacecraft more efficient.
"Development requires the viewpoint of astronauts," he said, adding, "I want to provide detailed feedback about my experience."

Democrats are apoplectic about the McCain campaign's distortions, distractions and outright lies. It's the old Rovean, Swift-Boat strategy: say anything, no matter how outrageous, until it sticks.
Let's not get too huffy. Bev Perdue's campaign showed that Democrats can play the game.
Pat McCrory's campaign took a predictable shot at her: Return the money you raised from DOT board member Louis Sewell.
But the Perdue campaign fired its own salvo: McCrory was in bed – or, more precisely, on the golf course and in the doctor's chair – with Jim Black.
You think that's a stretch? Well, Under the Dome gave Perdue's attack more play than McCrory's.

Nissan Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Is your Maxima SOHC or DOHC?
If you not sure, the engine family will be either... VE30DE, or VG30E.
There is an update for the timing on this engine that didn't seem to make it to the book.
Here is what Nissan has on it.
If you need anything else, just let me know!
If your car specifies DOHC, then... this is not the engine that came in your car. NO WONDER the timing marks are wrong.
You have a SOHC engine......DOHC engine (which you said you had) does not have timing belt on the 1992 Maxima.
Here are those instructions. Which are ALSO updated!
If the old timing belt broke, then it is possible that there are bent valves in the engine, and it won't start.
But, if not... we need to look into what this engine is, then... Here is a closer look at the timing marks.
If those marks are not there, then this is definately not the engine that came out of your Maxima....would need to know what it came out of to go any farther.

text: Dominic Browne 04 February 2013 Councils accused of using high streets as 'cash cows' A leading financial administrator has accused councils of contributing to the demise of the UK high street with excessive local charges. Lee Manning, lead administrator for failed firm Blockbuster, has accused local authorities of being 'obsessed' with using high street retail as a cash cow rather supporting the struggling sector and supporting growth. 'Local authorities have obsessed with raising revenues from parking at the expense of the shops that bring people to those high streets,' he told the Telegraph newspaper. Manning, also a partner at accountancy giant Deloitte, accepted other factors such as online competition were important but said central and local government had done too little to help. He said the Government's tie-up with local authorities and Mary Portas, the retail expert, to help save local high streets was too little, too late. He also highlighted that even when shops close down, landlords have to pay the council the rates for the property, meaning there is little or no financial impact on authorities if retailers go bust. Since the beginning of the year administrations at HMV, Blockbuster, and Jessops have put 10,300 jobs at risk, with a potential 1,000 store closures on the cards. In conclusion, Manning gave a grim analysis of the prospects for retail, commenting that it was 'all over' for the British high street. View more information on these councils

Biology poster presentation venue is tough to beat
Posted: November 27th, 2013
FROM ON HIGH – Lake Superior State University biology student Greg Fedirko explains his senior thesis research to biology professor Britton Ranson-Olson, under the watchful gaze of Crawford Hall Science's field collection of North American fauna. Fedirko, from Linden, Mich., was one of twenty seniors who shared undergraduate research findings during poster and oral presentations Nov. 22-23 in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. His project found that bacteria counts at a public swimming area on Lake Superior varied with water run-off rather than during windy days when surf kicked up beach sediment. Other students found that introducing honeybees to an area jumpstarts the activity of other pollinating insects, and the relatively rare Lake Sturgeon is reproducing Ontario's Garden River. Run a Web search on "LSSU biology symposium" to read more results. (LSSU/John Shibley)

BEST IN SHOW – Lake Superior State University biology professors Ashley Moerke and Jun Li pose with the best poster award winners for the fall 2013 biology senior symposium. Blake Vandenberg, left, from Grand Haven, Mich., was cited for best outdoor research. He studied the effects of improperly installed road-stream crossings on natural connectivity of stream ecosystems. His results showed that most parameters, such as water quality and habitat, showed no statistical differences when averaged throughout the reach of the study. However, there were measureable, localized effects in the immediate areas of road-stream crossings, which suggest that changes do occur. This research is important because it will help minimize impacts of future road-stream improvements. Adam Mackey, center right, of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., was honored for best indoor research. He studied antibiotic resistance in Aeromonas bacteria. His objective was to determine if there were other antibiotics that could be used to prevent the overabundance of this bacteria in river systems. His findings showed that though there was effective susceptibility to antibiotics already tested in other research, new antibiotics were also tested that showed susceptibility as well that could not be found in present research. This research is important because both fish researchers and physicians are finding it more difficult to protect against infections using antibiotics. (Courtesy of Tressa Hubbard)

Don't Haggle Crack Price with Undercover Cops
I like to haggle, I think it adds an air of excitement to the buying process. It's fun to see if you can save a few dollars here or there and get a great deal on an item you want or need. Now if you're needing crack or other bad things the law frowns upon your negotiation skills should include the ability to spot an undercover sting operation. Please read on if you'd like to hear how this episode of "Let's Make a Deal' went down.
At around 2:30 a.m., Murphy's friend, Benjamin Bonds, parked in Pinecrest Mobile Home Park on Racetrack Road. When an undercover deputy approached the Buick, Bonds asked him for $60 worth of crack cocaine
Well there you go ladies and gentleman, don't buy crack from undercover cops, actually don't buy crack you could end up like Charlie Sheen, no wait sorry bad example.

I'm getting ready to reassemble my front axle and cannot find a nice size, READABLE High Pinion Dana 44 exploded diagram. I'm really interested in the order of the shims, slingers, baffles. Today I ground down a set of mock-up spindle bearings, and just wanted to make sure I got everything in the correct order. I'm hoping that I can use my carrier as is (yeah I know, fat chance), so I haven't pulled its bearings off and ground them into mock-ups yet. So, if you have a link or a nice pic you'd share I would greatly appreciate it. I've also posted the best outers assembly pic I've come across, in case someone needs it.
This is the best I was able to find. It must be a HighPinion or it won't have the proper parts for my set-up.
Here is an excellent diagram of the locking hub and spindle parts for a Dana 44 (except early HD with external locks)

Figured I would help out here.. Since thats what we do here..
Heres some wiring info on the Headlamps/Park lamps circuits...
If it helps, great.. if not, well its worth what ya paid for it <grin>
All lights are run off the Body Control Module.. each bulb has its own dedicated circuit except the high beams. . The Headlight switch is digital and send commands to the BCM using Pulse Coded Modulation..
Wires of note...
Drivers Side....
Low Beam - Circuit Number CLF04 Brown/Blue Stripe.. Driven off BCM Connector #C2280D POS# 2... FET driven and BCM monitors current on this circuit and has short circuit reset protection...
High Beam - Circuit Number CLF02 Gray/Brown Stripe - BCM Connector #C2280D position #11 (Internally Relay Driven From BCM and Fuse Protected (Fuse F74 in BCM). Passenger side High beam is also driven from this same circuit but has its own wire coming off the BCM. (Purple/Orange Circuit # CLF03 From Connector C2280D position #10)
Passenger Side Low Beam -
Circuit Number - CLF05 (blue/Green) BCM Connector C2280D position #1 Also FET Driven and has current monitoring and short protection..
Since the low beams have current monitoring, you may have to compensate for the current draw of your HID's if they draw more or less current than the factory lights do...
There IS a GOTCHA to watch out for... The pass side low beam uses a Blue/Green Striped wire.. and there is a Blue/Green stripped wire at the drivers side headlight but it is for the left turn signal.. not the low beam headlight... so besure to take note of that...(Most people, myself included would see the common wire colors from side to side and assume its the same circuit.. but this is not the case here..
Other than that, good luck with your project.. I'm interested to see how it goes...
If the BCM for some reason freaks out on your HID's and detects a higher than normal current load (not sure how HIDs work in this regard).. the BCM will shut off the affected circuit(s) until the excess load (or short) is removed and the ignition key is cycled... I know when i did my fog lights I tripped the FET protection on the park light circuit and it took me about 20 minutes to figure out what the hell happened.. I thought i fried my BCM for a bit...

This sermon lesson uses the readings and services appointed from the
Malankara Syrian lectionary and was given on Sunday, April 3, 2011 by Fr. John Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission Chapel, Madison,Wisconsin.

After months and months of rehearsal, thousands of miles flown, and two burned out auditors it's finally time for Katie Holmes to make her Broadway debut tonight in front of Tom Cruise who will probably rush from his seat the moment the play ends, run up on the stage, and talk to the audience for a good twenty minutes. Don't blame Tom for this. He hasn't heard applause in a long time and so he likes to take advantage of it. It's why he keeps going to football games. He closes his eyes and pretends they are clapping for him.
Although tonight is considered just a preview of the show and not opening night, lets face it, Katie isn't going to change much between now and then. Sure, the critics officially will not have their say until the middle of October, but if Katie sucks, she might not even make it to the middle of October, but be called away due to a family emergency or a once in a lifetime film role which will mysteriously vanish in a few months when all of this settles down.
Whatever tonight brings in the way of Katie being good or not is really not relevant. We know that tonight is a chance for Tom Cruise to shine, and to steal whatever spotlight he can. Think of him getting ready for tonight. Finding just the right Spanx to put on, the right pair of heels and that three piece sweater vest combo that only he seems to enjoy. Whether Katie is good or bad, Tom knows it will be his photos all over the papers tomorrow.

By Noel Black On July 27, 2010 · 10 Comments · In A Big Something, Awesome, Beer, Cycling, Health, Hiking, Local History, Outdoors and Nature, Videos, Weird Sports
It's hard to imagine Colorado without mountain bikes. The knobby-tired bicycles are so ubiquitous now that it seems almost impossible that there was a time when trails were mostly for hiking. It may also be hard to believe that mountain bikes were once called "klunkers" made from vintage cruisers/paperboy bikes and that the people who rode them wore t-shirts and jeans or shorts instead of spandex "Tron suits" (Helmets? What!?), even as they rode long distances in the back country from places like Crested Butte to Aspen. (Note also the many single-speeds and folks cheerfully walking their bikes with friends!) We hope these two amazing videos of the "Crested Butte to Aspen Klunker Classic" in 1980 can serve as a small reminder of the simpler days of early mountain biking when fun was the first order of business. If anyone recognizes anyone in this video, please leave a comment. (Thanks to pikespeaksports.us for finding these videos!)

What FUN! A more joyful, less self-conscious time – everyone's laughing! A lot has been lost to seriousness and goals. And I'll bet the keggers are gone too. Bummer.
Nancy Atherton says:
Fantastic! A perfect follow-up to the Tour de France. No sponsors, no team cars, no big prizes, except the biggest one of all—a great time with a great bunch of people.
chris fiedler says:
single speeders 'get off' more! hahaha! such a great film. thanks for sharing it noel.
chris fiedler says:
for anyone interested and unfamiliar, http://www.klunkerz.com/ is a great film about the birth of mountain biking.
suesun says:
The boys loved it!…. gives the young perspective on recent history, and respect for those who came before them.
Michael says:
Un-American! CONSUME. 🙂
KlunkerBill says:
Those are such great videos. Seems like a perfect snapshot of the whole thing. I'm just sorry I didn't uncover them during my research for Klunkerz.I bet the outtakes were insane. It sure is great to see more and more stuff coming out about the history of the sport. I hope that more folks come across 'some old boxes in the attic' in the near future. Thanks for posting.
Ride on,
Marina Eckler says:
I didn't know you could do that without spandex!
How fun!
Karen says:
As high school teacher I developed a lesson on the history of mountain biking for my students who were going to be riding down Pikes Peak. Wish I had found this. The kids would have loved it!
Jeremy Van Hoy says:
One of my favorites, Noel! I go to CB and ride every summer. Once, I went to Aspen… but over Taylor Pass. Guess I'm a wuss 🙁

Does anyone remember the death of IHOP intern Bethany Deaton? More than a year ago we mentioned her death in several different pieces and said we would be doing any followup to the case we saw.In the time that has passed since Bethany was found murdered in her van not much has changed. Her husband, Tyler Deaton, has moved to another area and taken a job as a teacher, Micah Moore, the man that confessed has gone to trial and Mike Bickle distanced himself and IHOP from the Deatons, even going so far as to teach on what constitutes a cult in the wake of allegations about Tyler Deaton's group. Rolling Stone Magazine has researched and written an in depth article about the death of Bethany … [Read more...]

Quoting Quiverfull: Defending The Pearls and "To Train Up a Child"?
by Paige Coleman of Delivering Women From the Snares of Death blog - Pearls Before SwineFor those of you who left nasty comments online, please be adequately informed before you raise your voice in protest. Humbly consider what you say to your children and what you say to others. If you call for the banning of "To Train up a Child" because of the actions of those who read it, then by following your own logic, I could call for the banning of the examiner's website. After all, the author of the article clearly provoked you to anger. Let's blame him instead of you!

by Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies - Half Mothering or Full Mothering? Christ, who lives in us is "prophet, priest, and king." I believe that every father should be a prophet to his family, seeking God for His ways and speaking God's counsel to His family. But, we as mothers also have a daily responsibility to speak the counsel of God to our children. Motherhood is even more than nurturing, feeding, and caring for our children. It is our God-given duty to feed their souls and spirits as well as their bodies. Even more so. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Healthy Co-Dependency?
by Rebecca Belcher Morecraft at Ladies Against Feminism and Chalcedon Presbyterian Church The separate roles God created "in the beginning" for each sex have largely been spurned by our culture and substituted with a false idea of equality that in no way resembles God's original plan, when He created woman from the rib of man and arranged for future humans to spring from the womb of woman, thus establishing a healthy co-dependency for the continuance of life. … [Read more...]

A review of the "To Be One" DVD about Courtship/Betrothal/Marriage by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine My only reservation in recommending this video is the Lindvall story. I want to be gracious to the Lindvalls, but I was quite troubled by their story. My first concern was the process of choosing a wife for Timothy. According to all the men in the story, the Lord had "told" each of them that Brittany was the one for Timothy. The process of winning Brittany seemed to lack any emotion or feeling on the part of the prospective bridegroom, because the Lindvalls believe love should follow … [Read more...]

And yet, there were some at Corinth who were sick and who had died because of how they mishandled that blessing (1 Cor. 11:30).

I am so over this and just don't know where else to turn. I don't have mama friends in real life and I'm hoping you ladies can help, you seem like a perceptive bunch and child-need based rather than parent-need based, so I'm hoping you'll give me a reality check if I need it.
My partner and I have been pretty much nomadic for the last 6 years. Along the way our DD (4 at the end of the month) came along. Her whole life has been one place after the next, one culture after the next, one language after the next. I travelled a lot as a kid, not quite like this, but a lot, and I always found it exciting and was anxious to get back on the road again. I was miserable when I had to stay home because of school. But she's not me.
She's getting older. And the doubt is creeping in. Part of me wants to keep travelling and show her the whole world, have her grow up in it. Part of me wants to do what my mom did and travel some of the year, but always have a "home" to go back to in the city. And still another part of me wants to buy a few acres somewhere in the middle of nowhere, have a little garden and some animals, and never leave for extended periods again.
As of right now DD doesn't seem to be too affected by travelling. She misses the friends she makes in places we stay for months at a time, but she makes new ones just as quickly. She adjusts easily. We've been mostly "home" for the last month or so, aside one quick trip, and she's already asking when we're going away again. But now that she's getting older, I wonder if this life is what's best for her. No permanency, no cohesive culture, no place she can really call her own. She's still an only child for right now, not the way we envisioned it. Unless we adopted an older child, she won't ever have a sibling close in age. We thought by now she'd have 1 or 2 siblings, that they'd all be each other's playmates first and foremost, but the years snuck up on us. My partner and I are her primary playmates instead. I love that, don't get me wrong, but I'm wondering now if she really does need to settle somewhere, be it here in the city or somewhere else, and have consistent friends her own age and a place to come home to. Not just a barren apartment where mama and daddy's mail gets sent, not a brief stopover en-route to the next place.
Can we really provide the stability she needs while travelling? If you've done it with kids her age and older, how did it turn out? Any thoughts on how we can be mindful of her needs as she grows and changes, or what you'd do? I think I really need a few different views on this, because I'm so conflicted myself that it's obviously not a balanced perspective.
Thanks in advance.
can't help but it reminds me of this family -

Not in your shoes, so can't help much. But from your post, I'd say option 3 is the drastic opposite of option 1 - which is where you are now. I would guess that a traveler like you would like the romantic idea of settling somewhere, but that would get old fast and you would feel really trapped in no time. I think your second option would be the most practical. Travel, see the world, but have a home to go back to. I have traveled a huge amount, pre and post kids. Mostly for work and some for vacation. It's very different when you are single, have no huge responsibilities, can do what you want, than when you have kids. I'm sort of in no-mans land - not really belonging to the culture I was born and raised in, but not really belonging to the culture I live in now. This is not a bad thing. It just means I am open to seeing all different sorts of possibilities. If you continue to travel with your DH and DD, she will still get this open-ness. Having a home-base doesn't stop this, it just provides a place to plant some roots, have a main culture, have some more permanent friends...
We have moved relatively often, although we've tended to settle into a single place for a few years, rather than months, before moving on. When our dc were very young, I worried about whether it would affect their personalities and attitudes. I was concerned about insecurity, difficulties fitting into new environments and isolation. I'm happy to say that they are well adjusted, very sociable, and have a terrific ability to adjust to new situations.
Personality probably plays a big role in how well a child copes with frequent moves, so I'm sure others struggle a lot more with change. I think parents can support and nurture a child's flexibility and resilience though. We made efforts to maintain social networks, despite intervening distances and the international dateline. It's a lot easier to do these days, with e-mail, facebook, webcams and skype and other social networking technologies. They are still friends with children they knew when they were pre-schoolers.
I don't regret moving about and giving our children a broad perspective on the world. I actually wish we'd managed at least one more overseas move before DS finished high school.
By the time I was in tenth grade, I was attending my 11th school. I've lived all over the country.
- Everybody else had these lifelong friends...people who had known them since kindergarten, etc and I always secretly envied that. I made friends, but I never had them for a long long time and that kind of sucked.
- It kind of messed up some things in school. Like, I never learned long division....because the school I attended in third grade, addressed that subject in the fourth grade curriculum and the school I attended in the fourth grade addressed it in the third grade curriculum!
- I was always the new kid and sometimes felt very misunderstood.
- There is not a social situation, culture or place that you could stick me in that I wouldn't thrive in. I grew up in very conservative, low minority, wealthy places....in places with more minorities than whites, in places where everyone was very poor...and in places like Boulder, Colorado...where I did switch schools, but spent a few good years) and was in the cultural hub of a wonderful community of refugees and immigrants from all over the world. (seriously, bosnian kids who escaped the war, korean kids who we grew very close with, refugees from Africa, etc). I've learned about people from all walks..and as a kid was very very strongly impacted by this. Knowing a lot about the way people live in different places and especially different socioeconomic backgrounds, has come to impact who I am and my belief system very positively as an adult. I just don't have problems fitting in, understanding people and feeling understood, most anywhere I go.
- Problem solving and critical thinking in social situations...diffusing tense social situations and helping to mediate when other people are experiencing difficultly is something I became VERY good at. I believe that my ability to see other perspectives and gauge where people are coming from has helped me in my marriage, my parenting and in understanding myself.
- Closeness with siblings....I know you don't have siblings for your DD, but I'll throw this out there anyway! I think one of the reasons my "pack" of four siblings became and remains as close as we are, is because our pack was THE consistent social environment.
All of that being said....I'm extremely glad for the lifestyle my family had. I just don't have problems talking to people, being "new", etc. I genuinely desire feelings of closeness with people I've just met...like, not in a creepy way, but in a "sincerely happy to hear your life story on a train ride" kind of way. I appreciate the stories other people have to tell...and I know it's a habit I formed, as a result of not living around the same people, whose stories were already known to me and mirrored my own, all my life.
But when I realized that I was going to be a mama...one of the first things I did, was look for a house in the middle of the woods, get a bunch of animals and started homesteading!! Hahaha....so.....I grew up the way you did, the way your DD is....but for my own children, I chose a little house tucked in the middle of nowhere. We have an eclectic group of friends and they are heavily exposed to art and culture, music and food from other places....but I do not want to drag them all over. I want to teach them to live in concert with the living things around them, to feel attached and owned by a patch of land that if familiar to them.
My kids are children of these woods around me. They are only three and two, but they are wild and free in these woods...and know the trees, know the sounds of the birds....My son was born, just a couple of feet from where my left foot is resting, this very moment. I desire that they feel connected to this place...not because I DON'T desire travel for them...trust me, if I could have it both ways, I would. But there is something very valuable about the relationship I see them forming with these woods, with the animals they help tend to....with our little scrap of the universe, so warm, so protective, so familiar to them.
But we are also homeschooling...so we can seek out friendship wherever we want, without having a "forced" social situation where they make friends with "What they have to choose from" type of thing. Also because of the lack of outside cultural immersion in the form of daily schooling, we are free to create a culture here which is very eclectic and encompasses a wide range of ideology and places and they don't feel "weird"...you know what I mean?
Homeschooling also allows for a lot more freedom in schedule...I can take them to crazy music festivals...or, like, this Friday, there is a super neat art exhibit that I'm taking my DD to...she's REALLY interested in the kind of art that will be there and I can take her, because we're not tied to a school schedule.
So, I feel like a lot of my favorite things about our nomadic lifestyle when I was a child can be replicated....and at the same time, I can foster that sense of belonging to a special place for all of their lives, too. So, best of both worlds? For us, I think so.
Good luck. Try not to compare yourself to other people and the way they are raising their kids. There is no one path that works best for everyone. Your child will be special and OF YOU because she is OF YOU....her perspective and unique heart are what make her an asset to the people of the world....she is forming that perspective and strengthening that heart with the lessons, loves and experiences that come to her, via your life path and the places you take her and things you expose her to. If she is loved, happy and learning all the time, you are doing your job.
I understand, first hand, the feeling of looking at more "normal" lifestyles and thinking "Maybe I'm messing this all up, maybe a little house, in a row, on a suburban street with lots of other kids all running through sprinklers and neighbors to have cookouts with and a little public school house for them all to go to IS the best way...look at everyone else doing it....maybe I don't want my kids to be so different..." etc etc.
But I can't do it! I can't, in MY motherhood, walk someone elses path. I have to show my kids the world the way I see it....because I BELIEVE in my perspective and I BELIEVE in my lifestyle and think it is the healthiest way - or I wouldn't be living it.
The perspective your DD is gaining is a unique one. She is never going to be better or worse off than a kid living in a little house in a row, on a street with lots of other people and whatever....that whole suburban, tight knit community thing....she'll just have a different perspective...and I think we can all agree, that the world needs as many different perspectives as we can get.
She's going to be who she is going to be, no matter how she is raised. But I do happen to believe that you are giving her many gifts that more "tied down" parents cannot.
The ability to travel well, adapt in new places/situations and the beauty of knowing many lands and the amazing culture of the people who live there....that's just some priceless shit right there. I gotta tell you, there is very little that a kid can get, in the way of gifts, that measure up to that kind of world experience.
How much of the world do most of us see? How is our perspective and view of ourselves and our role on this earth effected by how much or how little of the world we ever actually see? Think about it. What are we born, on this beautiful planet, to do? Learn as much as we can, become as TRULY human as we can. How can seeing MORE of the world than the average person and meeting MORE of the inhabitants of this place than the average person hurt that life mission? Seeing a larger world, understanding the various ways that people are living out there, learning about and seeing the ways in which people are going about living, learning and being exposed to the different beliefs systems and histories in the world is wonderful.
Me and DH ...lovin' DD (6/08) and DS (11/09) Plus NEW BABY!! DD (UC-5/12) We Water Birth/Homebirth/No Vax or Circ/BF/BW/Country Livin'!
Thought I would respond since we have a similar situation. We have a 20 month old and have moved 4 times all over the country since he was born. Since my husband and I have married we have lived in 7 states and we have been married 4 years. I am pregnant again and after this one is born and is about one year old we are planning to move to Mexico for a few years. I want to travel but definitely know that my kids need people to grow relationships with and have a place where they grew up. I am planning to possibly unschool with them but I am very concerned about them having long term friendships and not just having a sibling as "best friend".
I myself am an only child who moved constantly. I went to about 14 different schools from Kindergarten to 12th grade. When I finally did settle down for the last two years of school I found it hard to make friends. Though I did make a small of amount of friends. I think being an only child is a whole other arena. You have no one else to share the experiences you have with your parents or in general as a child unless you have childhood friends you grew up with. The previous poster mentions she had siblings to share the experiences with also to remember herself as she was as a child which I think is important. I don't have that. My mom's memory is going and for a large part of my childhood my dad was living in another state. I am very close to my parents and have always wished I had someone else to share them with both the good and bad memories. I see that with my husband and his siblings all they remember about each other. I guess you could also argue that there are no guarantees that your child will keep her childhood friends but there is always a good chance if it.
The last place I lived in was LA at my dad's house. I had always visited there since I was 7 but around 16 I went there to live. Every time I go back my neighbor yells across the street my name and says Hi. He asks how I am doing and such. There are also a few other neighbors that stop me and we talk anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. When I visit, I feel like for a small moment in my life I belonged somewhere. Of course all these people have strangly enough in our modern world not moved for the past 30 years, so that is a factor.
I have turned out well. I am very confident and have all the qualities mentioned above by the previous poster. I camped by myself just me and my dog for years. I traveled to other countries by myself and went to Morocco when the war started and everyone thought that was a big deal since it is an Arabic nation and I was a lone woman.
What I am mainly trying to convey is make sure she has some real long term connections with people her age and a place. I don't seem to be the average woman and not sure I was an average kid. I am naturally highly resilient and have some other good qualities that match traveling.
The one solution to my wanderlust is we may after or before Mexico decide to just move and live in another country.
Good Luck and I wish you the best in your travels.
I also wanted to add that I find it very important that we travel every year. Being exposed to other cultures helps us to see other people as ourselves.
To clarify when I said I felt like "...I belong somewhere." I meant to say I feel from somewhere. I definitely don't feel like I belong in LA but do feel like I am from that part of LA.
I also wanted to add that I thought of a few documentaries one is Surfwise which was previously mentioned by a poster and the other is Randon Lunacy. Its about Poppa Neutrino and his family. I relate to poppa Neutrino abit in that I think rent is bullshite. We live in an Airstream at the moment and though I have paid rent at times I would much rather be free and boondock than to be chained to my house and possessions. The only thing I worry about now is having a new baby, co sleeping both new baby and 2 year old, 11 year old cranky sometimes dog and a cat who hides alot all in a very small space.
Anyway sorry for the all the info and posts. I just can relate. I really never want to settle down. My husband is finishing school so we are here for another year. I would love to find a group of like minded people to travel with. That is the key. I have had people tell me how humans have been moving about for millions of years. I do think that for some they feel the call of the nomad in themselves and it is very natural but in the old old days they did it as a group. I feel we learn so much about ourselves in long term friendships and relationships.
I wish we could afford to travel. It breaks my heart that we have the flexibility that homeschooling provides, yet no money to travel and USE that flexibility. I wish we could somehow ditch the house and find another way, but there seem to be a mountain of reasons why we can't.
I think that since your DD *has* traveled and already has an open mind about the world, I'd say settle down and let her do the one thing that she hasn't been able to do yet, which is establish stable, long-term friendships, which I imagine would be important for an only child (we have a homeschooled Only, too, so I'm always keeping one eye on that, trying to find him places like Sunday School or other local homeschool co-ops & classes where he can make friends and grow with them year after year. Our biological family is so small and scattered--there are hardly any cousins (and we can't travel to visit half of them anyway), his friendships will be his "siblings." So I need to allow him to do that.
Your daughter, having tasted the traveling life, can now aspire to travel on her own. Maybe even study abroad as part of her schooling. You've planted the seeds; now maybe she needs roots.
Those are just my two cents worth!
Thanks for the thoughtful responses; it's given me a lot to think about.
She's only 4 so she's a long way from thinking about her schooling or studying abroad, and we will never settle down so much that she has no experiences with the outside world, so that's not really our consideration. We are homeschooling, so that does give us great flexibility to do what we want and also arrange social opportunities for her.
My partner and I took a few first steps towards permanency. We got a second dog :) Our dog (4, just 2 weeks older than DD, LOL) has travelled with us, but I'm thinking having a puppy will at least ground us for a little while, and give us something to fill our days. We're also thinking about where we want to liver permanently, or at least ahve as a permanent home. From there we'll decide if we want to buy in the city or head for the country. Homesteading sounds so appealing to me. I've lived rurally in other places that we stay a few months and I enjoy it as much or more than the city.
Again, thanks for the input. I needed the perspective, and you ladies have helped a lot. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I needed the time to read over what everyone said a few times and digest it on my own. I showed it to my partner and it inspired a couple long nights of talking, dreaming, planning.

Homesteading with these children of mine has been a greater joy than I ever could have imagined....seriously. The skills and knowledge base that my three year old has about living in concert with the earth and the seasons, is more developed than that of most grown men and women in this day and age. She knows about growing, harvesting, canning. She knows about fermenting. She understands where good food comes from, how to care for animals. So many things.
There was a time when people were so close to nature in the way they lived, the rhythm of their days and the way they ate, that they just "knew" things from very early on that these days we have to make a conscious effort to teach ourselves. This summer, my DD will learn about seed saving. That's a skill that is so dead in most of our population...but that people just had to KNOW in order to survive over the generations until a relatively short time ago. I want my kids to have these skills, I want my kids to know these things....I want for living in concert with the earth to be a second nature habit for them...and so, we homestead. If they want to go and be city slickers some day...I will joyously send them off to experience and learn that. But in their hearts, I want them to understand the old ways of living, the simple and natural ways of being....how to survive and sustain their families on whatever patch of land they can get their hands on.
The peace, privacy and tranquility we enjoy in our little corner of the world is so blissfully perfect. I wouldn't trade this life for anything, anywhere.
Me and DH ...lovin' DD (6/08) and DS (11/09) Plus NEW BABY!! DD (UC-5/12) We Water Birth/Homebirth/No Vax or Circ/BF/BW/Country Livin'!

For now, just use the wood door with a quality 1.5" throw deadbolt or so. Reinforce the jam with steel, both sides, bolted through and through, or single sided security lags.
Is it hinged on the inside of the "safe room"? You could always add some bigger hinges and some 10 gauge steel to the inside of the door. Is the jamb wood? Can you replace it with a steel jamb? Reinforce the wood jamb with steel and the door with steel by the deadbolt? There are a lot of ways to make a wood door stronger.
Shop for a used steel door of the correct dimensions, and then install it when you can, or buy one new.
If the section of wall that is merely drywall bothers you, just install a cinderblock wall inside your safe room on that wall.
Other than the door, then the roof is the weakest access point, and not much can be done there.
I really see now reason the line up five or six deadbolts.
Add a de-humidifier, and alarm, and I believe your are set.
Sounds like a great set up!

Penn State Receives Harsh Punishments From NCAA
Published July 23rd, 2012
STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania- The NCAA imposed harsh sanctions on Penn State University for its handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Students watched from campus as the NCAA announced the punishment and reacted with shock, sadness and anger.
The school's famous football program was hit with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine, a four year ban from bowl games, all wins from 1998 to 2011 are wiped out, a loss of 20 scholarships and 5 years of probation.
The NCAA said the sanctions are designed to change Penn State's culture.
The NCAA says current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.
Penn State agreed, in advance, to not appeal the sanctions.

A recent online discussion pondered why more middle-aged and older adults didn't take advantage of brain fitness programs that could help prevent or delay memory loss.
This is a reasonable question, given the fairly dramatic increase in the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (and other types of dementia) with age.
Alzheimer's is terrifying. Surely, if there were something—anything—a person could do to prevent it or delay its onset, you'd think that everyone over the age of 50 (maybe even 40) would be doing those things as if his brain absolutely depended on it. You might think this. But it's not at all clear that you'd be right.
Five reasons it doesn't make sense to spend time on brain fitness games
1. Alzheimer's Disease is not well understood
We don't know what causes it, we don't know how to diagnose it in a living person* and we don't know how to treat it. Therefore, how certain can we be that we have a sure-fire way to prevent it or delay it?
2. Many of the brain fitness programs out there claim that they "may" prevent or delay memory loss
And they may. Then again, they may not. Some studies of this matter have concluded that the result of doing lots of crossword puzzles or suduku is to make one better and better at doing those specific activities. But there seems to be no carry-over to other cognitive tasks.
3. Many middle-aged and older adults work at jobs which offer plenty of cognitive challenges
Think teachers, researchers, engineers, lawyers, writers, entertainers, nurses, doctors, elected officials and so on. The combined challenges of their work, family, and recreation offer a plethora of ways to keep the brain humming along in top working order.
4. In addition, many of these jobs involve lots of sitting in front of a computer
Online brain fitness games are more of the same, as are crossword puzzles and similar games. Arguably, we would all benefit from less sitting in front of a computer, not more. Which brings us to the next point.
5. Many in the 50+ age group exercise regularly, which studies suggest "may" reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Disease
More than one researcher who studies performance as a function of age has concluded that
What's good for the heart is good for the brain.
For all its dazzling cognitive powers, the brain is basically just another organ, like the liver or the pancreas. And, like them, it needs ample supplies of oxygen and glucose to do its job and do it well.
Choosing your own brain workouts
Life is full of brain workouts. Some are pleasurable, some not so much. For me, one in the first category is reading. (The last book I finished was "Not a Chimp: The hunt to find the genes that make us human" by Jeremy Taylor.)
Included in my Necessary-But-Not-So-Pleasurable category are doing my taxes (although Turbo Tax makes it as painless as possible) and navigating from home to a place I've never been before and back—on time, in the rain, and in heavy traffic as I did several weeks ago. (Although, admittedly, most of the cognitive challenge is programmed into my GPS, even when I miss a turn-off because of traffic and poor visibility).
What about you? What are your Cognitive Challenges of Choice? Do you use brain fitness games or do you think that your life offers enough brain exercise? What challenges come with your work? What comes with outside activities? Do you choose activities working with others in a club or association? I welcome your comments.
* There is one approach still being investigated for approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Where have the fly-halves flown to? One notable feature of last weekend's semi-finals was that none of the four teams had a stand-out stand-off.
The world's leading player in the position, Daniel Carter, failed to survive the group stage and his stand-in, Colin Slade, withdrew a few weeks later. Aaron Cruden, the third choice, was at 10 for the semi-final against Australia, who were unable to put him under significant pressure.
The Wallabies had the mercurial Quade Cooper at fly-half. There would have been times last Sunday, as he watched one black wave after another rolling towards him, when he would have wished he were playing for the country of his birth.
Australia tried to hide Cooper in defence, like Wasps used to do with Danny Cipriani, but wherever he lurked the All Blacks found him. Cooper has been the figure Kiwis have most loved to hate, but Australia's deficiencies in the tight five denied him a platform against Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand.
He has been erratic, surprisingly incompetent in defence considering he is hardly the smallest 10 to have taken the field. He does not run away from making challenges, but his technique is awful and Australia have felt the need to bolster him with a robust inside-centre rather than a playmaker – until Friday's play-off against Wales.
Wales uncorked Rhys Priestland 10 weeks ago and they missed him in the semi-final. He is an uncomplicated fly-half and he makes up his mind quickly. His ability to get Jamie Roberts into the game with quick, early passes has been one of the reasons the 2009 Lion has had a headline tournament.
Roberts was less effective in the semi-final with neither of the fly-halves used by Wales last Saturday, James Hook and Stephen Jones, imposing themselves on the game. Jones is starting to look like a veteran with the power in his kicking leg diminished, while Hook no longer relies on his instinct.
When Hook first appeared for Wales at fly-half, he played with his head up and reacted to what was in front of him. Since making his debut, when he inspired Wales to come from behind to draw against Australia in Cardiff, he has been moved from inside-centre to full-back to outside-centre and back to fly-half.
He no longer seems to play with a clear head and seems to be indecisive in broken play. He is joining Perpignan after the World Cup having been promised the fly-half jersey. He needs a run of games in his favoured position, but his future with Wales looks like lying elsewhere and a player who the coach, Warren Gatland, described as indispensable only a few months ago, faces becoming a permanent reserve if Leigh Halfpenny continues at full-back.
France arrived in New Zealand with two fly-halves, Francois Trinh-Duc and David Skrela. The latter did not last long and was replaced by a scrum-half who could play at 10. Trinh-Duc was cast aside for Morgan Parra, a scrum-half who was a stand-off in junior rugby, and he made his first appearance there in the group game against the All Blacks.
His presence left France in a dither defensively and Carter, in what was to be his final appearance in the tournament, exploited the uncertainty. His subsequent groin injury was a blow to the tournament itself as much as the All Blacks, but unlike 2007, when he limped out of the quarter-final against Les Bleus, New Zealand have not collapsed in his absence.
Parra did little against New Zealand or against Tonga the following week to merit starting ahead of Trinh-Duc, whose early appearance as a replacement against Ireland in Dublin last August after Skrela had been left dazed having mistimed a tackle on Sean O'Brien, helped turn the match, along with his half-back partner Dimitri Yachvili.
Parra showed against Wales that he was coming to terms with his new position, but the gameplan after Sam Warburton was sent off demanded that he kicked rather than passed. He did tackle Jamie Roberts head on, tackling the centre around the ankles and felling him instantly, but New Zealand will look to access his corridor.
None of the beaten quarter-finalists had a fly-half who made an imprint on the tournament. Ireland were unable to settle on Ronan O'Gara or Jonathan Sexton, a pivot whose display in the second half of last May's Heineken Cup final had prompted Leinster's comeback against Northampton, as if unsure whether this World Cup would have the same zeitgeist as 2007 when defence held sway.
England preferred Jonny Wilkinson to Toby Flood, though when the former's goal-kicking proved uncharacteristically wayward they played them at 10 and 12 against France but the time for experimenting had passed and it was a condemnation of the management's selection policy this year.
Argentina felt the absence of Juan Martin Hernandez and when Felipe Contepomi, who was in the centre, went off after 26 minutes against England, they missed opportunities to take play wide. South Africa had a reliable kicker in Morne Steyn, but their pace out wide was squandered and they never looked to Butch James as a tactical alternative.
They were stuck in 2007 while England and Ireland were, unlike Wales, unsure whether the game had moved on since then. The semi-finals may have produced only one try each, but there was none of the sterility of the meeting in the last four between France and England four years ago.
It was more the pity that Samoa did not make the last eight because their fly-half Tisi Pisi had a spark about him and lit the fuse for his back line in the match against South Africa, but otherwise it is a tournament where nines have stood out more than 10s; perhaps that is why the France coach, Marc Lievremont, is playing Parra out of position. Will it be his masterstroke?
A team of experts at Massey University in New Zealand has worked out that the 2011 All Blacks are, on average, six inches taller and four stones heavier than the 1905 Originals, and that they will be even bigger come 2015.
"They are fitter, stronger and recover better," said Jeremy Hapeta, who led the research. "You can lay odds that the All Blacks' jerseys in the future will come in yet larger sizes."
He said that while it reflected the general population in New Zealand, who were also getting bigger, the All Blacks were carrying more lean muscle mass, partly due to better nutrition.
"Players will become easier on the eye," he said, "as they can play a wider, more expansive brand of footy, as opposed to the English side, who are making slobs of themselves off the pitch as well."

Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of Au clusters on Si(111)-7 × 7 surface

Self-assembled growth of Au nanoclusters on the Si(111)-7 × 7 surface has been studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. A model considering various atomic processes of deposition, adsorption, diffusion, nucleation, and aggregation is introduced, and the main energetic parameters are optimized based on the experimental results. The evolution of surface morphology during Au growth is simulated in real time, from which the atomic behaviors of Au could be really captured. Most of Au atoms diffuse on the substrate in the very early stage of growth, and Au clusters nucleate and grow with the increasing coverage. The competition among various atomic processes results in the distinct distribution of Au clusters under different coverages. The growth conditions are further optimized, showing that the higher uniformity of Au clusters would be obtained at a low deposition rate and an optimal substrate temperature of about 380 K.

Why Won't Fox News Tell Us More About Its Reporter "Assaulted" In Wisconsin?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Are you seeing the same pattern I am? It's the one where right-wing partisans, desperate to portray union supporters as thugs, loudly denounce acts of alleged violence. But then days later when it turns out the acts of violence weren't really so violent, the same partisans are suddenly completely uninterested in the stories they promoted.
Today I already documented the case of the Andrew Breitbart blogger who flagged a weekend "assault" in which a Tea Party activist claimed he was hit with a bullhorn and choked by a union thug. But oops, video of the incident shows that did not happen. Now, the story is no longer of interest inside Breitbart World. (Move along people.)
Simultaneously, we have the case of Fox News and Mike Tobin. In recent days, members of the the Fox News team were beside themselves as they detailed the physical abuse Tobin had to endure while reporting on the protests in Madison, Wisconsin. Megyn Kelly in particular seemed broken up about Tobin's plight, referring to the "assault" he had endured. (Tobin didn't agree with that characterization.) Kelly even wondered on-air why the Obama White House hadn't weighed in on the Tobin matter; why hadn't the president stood up for the press?
But alas, there may be less to the story than Fox News and its hysterical defenders first thought. Recently released video that captured the incident in which Tobin claimed he was "punched" by a Wisconsin activist shows the "punch" may have been of the invisible variety. And with that revelation yesterday, the right-wing blogosphere suddenly fell silent when it came to the topic of media martyr Mike Tobin. (Who's he?)
And Fox News? Here's what happened when Media Matters' Joe Strupp tried to get in touch with Tobin, whom he had previously interviewed about the alleged altercation [emphasis added]:
After the video emerged, Media Matters once again contacted Tobin for comment. This time, he didn't respond.
Instead, a Fox spokesperson called Media Matters and said that Tobin would have no further comment on the matter.
Just 48 hours ago Fox News was sure its reporter had been assaulted by thugs in Wisconsin and very much wanted to talk up the story. Today? Not so much. Just like Breitbart's team is now trying to to distance itself from the bogus claim of a union assault.
Here's a tip for both of them: When you stick to the truth, you don't have to backpedal.
