Just a Thought -- New (and Notable) Nonfiction Audiobooks
Thinking the Twentieth Century by Tony Judt
An ambitious intellectual history of the Twentieth Century in which Judt examines the many currents that shaped the innovations, conflicts, economics and politics of our recent past.
"... this marvelous précis, vibrantly alive, rich, and piquant, is one last gift from an exceptional public intellectual. Not only academics and fans of Judt, but also those who enjoy the New York Review of Books and The New Yorker will flock to read it." (Library Journal)
Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo
A Pulitzer Prize winning author profiles the lives of everyday people living in the slums of Mumbai, illustrating the struggle to change their circumstances.
"Boo brilliantly brings to life the residents of Annawadi, allowing the reader to know them and admire the fierce intelligence that allows them to survive in a world not made for them. The best book yet written on India in the throes of a brutal transition." (Kirkus)
Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention by Manning Marable
A National Book Award finalist, this new definitive biography explores the life of one of the most influential figures of social change in America.
"Combing through FBI and NYPD files, gathering Nation of Islam interviews, and fleshing out Malcolm's post-NOI activities abroad, Marable succeeds spectacularly in painting a broader and more complex portrait of a man constantly in search of himself and his place in America." (Publishers Weekly)

Early Education Programs and Children of Immigrants: Learning Each Other's Language
August 31, 2010 | Hannah Matthews and Danielle Ewen
This paper was written for the Urban Institute's roundtable on Young Children in Immigrant Families and the Path to Educational Success, held on June 28, 2010. It discusses the federal and policy landscape for serving young children of immigrants in early care and education and includes policy recommendations for improving access for immigrant families. The full report is available on the Urban Institute website.
Children from immigrant families are the fastest growing group of children in the United States. High-quality child care and early education opportunities will be critical to these children's success in school and in life. Yet, the early experiences of children in immigrant families are as diverse and varied as immigrant families themselves. While many immigrant families face numerous barriers to accessing high-quality child care and early education for their young children, these barriers are not insurmountable. The paper discusses state and local solutions to improving access for immigrant families and specific strategies and collaborations among providers, policymakers, and immigrant-serving organizations.

These are the sunglasses that use optical technology developed by NASA to improve visual clarity and fold for convenient storage. Based on technology designed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to protect astronauts' eyes from solar radiation, the lenses block blue and violet rays that impair vision yet allow sight-enhancing green, yellow, orange, and red rays to reach the retina. A hinge hidden on the inside of the bridge folds the frames in half, enabling unobtrusive storage in a shirt pocket. The sunglasses block 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays while making objects appear more distinct and diminishing distortion. Both sides of the lenses are covered with two layers of a scratch-resistant coating, the frames are made from durable polycarbonate, and the included leatherette case provides protection when the glasses are stored. Tortoise or Black frames. 5 1/2" W x 1 1/3" H. (1/4 oz.)

Here's a tip: Stop Teaching Hate
Nov 15th
As I was getting my daily dose of Philly.com, I noticed a picture of a receipt in one of the stories and briefly assumed it was another story of a patron giving an extravagant tip (some of which, I am starting to doubt, but that is another story). Instead, the story was about a family that refused to tip the waitress because of her 'lifestyle'.
There is always the possibility that something else transpired during the interaction between the family and the waitress, but assuming it was nothing more than a waitress handling the family's order, this is upsetting and I fear More >
The Dad Lens
Sep 19th
Being the father of a 4.5 year-old, I feel like a seasoned veteran in the parenting arena. But on the eve of becoming a father yet again (which could be one day or three weeks), I know that I am in for a whole new level of chaos.
Up until now, it has come down to simple math: 2 versus 1; Mom and Dad versus Son. Need a break? Sure, I got him. I need a break? Thanks best Wifey in the world! Soon, the teams will be even and while our son is on his way to self sufficiency, More >
Violent Video Games Kill Real People
Jun 4th
Physical Video game sales were at $13 billion in 2012 – down from $17 billion in 2011 (Forbes.com), but a large piece of business nonetheless. And I'm not surprised. Everywhere I look — from the local paper to the national news, reports of violence are everywhere. Murder trial after murder trial on channel after channel. Social media is on fire with calls for peace and tougher gun laws. The world is simply out of control with violence. Doesn't anyone think about the children?!? What about the children?!?
I remember asking my mom to go out as soon as she could to More >
Not Sure Why You Need To Call Your Kids Parasites
Apr 17th
I read this story about Isabella Dutton last week when it was initially published and wanted to pass on making any comment since I knew she had created a self inflicted firestorm that was totally in her right to do so.
Let's be clear: I don't fault Ms. Dutton for her feelings about her children. Children are not for everyone. I don't feel sad or otherwise bothered that some people look at children as nothing more than work. I expect she will get a lot of criticism for not having the 'normal' motherly feelings, whatever that means, but when I read it More >
IUIs, IVFs and hCG; Oh My!
Apr 3rd
Anagrams galore. I will be blunt as to the singular reason for this particular post — hope. As many parents — or attempting parents — have found out, ease of conception and age don't mix. Simply put — waiting to have children can easily put a wrinkle in the process. I can't promise it will work if you are trying. In fact, I can't promise anything. If you are simply looking for a reason to try one more time — that's all I can give.
And so, in our extended attempt for a second we found ourselves in front of a More >
Dinotrux! And Yes, Revenge of the Dinotrux!
Feb 25th
I love to read and one thing I hope is that my son also finds joy in reading. If he doesn't, so be it, but seeing as though he is only going to be 4 next month, he will be getting at the very least one or more night time stories for the foreseeable future. And as parents, we all know that our children will ask for more books if they know it pushes back their bedtime.
I am not overly picky about the books we read before my son goes to bed. If they are educational, great, but the winners More >
Let's Talk Gun Control
Jan 16th
This is not a post arguing for or against gun control, but it is about gun control. Yes, there is a difference.
It is important to level set. The current gun control debate is not about making our nation safer or about protecting our children — it is simply about gun control. It is a well known communication issue seen in countless households across America — an argument that starts about why one spouse didn't clean the dishes in the sink but ends as a tirade about an unresolved issue that has festered for twenty years. The catalyst here being the More >
Confusion and Fat Kids
Dec 5th
Some time ago, my wife watched me down a glass of water after dinner and told me I was odd. Me being odd was no surprise to me, but why now? She highlighted the fact that I don't drink anything while eating but will immediately drink something once I am done.
Huh. This was something I quickly recognized that I do in fact do, but never really thought about it until then. The culprit? As with all things in a man's life: Mom. I have mentioned in my multiple posts related to childhood obesity, I was a fat kid. Not heavy. More >
Education in America: Oh Boy.
Oct 4th
Our son just turned 3 1/2 and I dread making the decision for his schooling. Some might chuckle, thinking I have already missed the boat considering waiting lists these days for revered educational institutions. Both my wife and I are college graduates (that's how we met) but she came through 12 years of public school in the suburbs of Philadelphia with over 600 hundred in her graduating class. Me, on the other hand, I had 12 years of catholic school in a rural community. Total graduating class: 72.
The more I read and the more teachers I speak with, the worse More >
Childhood Obesity Cure
Sep 20th
I was pondering how the terrible twos are a myth and it is really the terrible threes, when I read the article Study suggests tie between BPA and child obesity on Philly.com (but from the AP).
In a world of article scanners (as opposed to reading), I am concerned that the article will be misinterpreted. The Journal of the American Medical Association found that BPA has a possible correlation to obesity — but there is no explanation for it and whether or not it is a cause. They DO NOT say that BPA causes obesity. I fear the main takeaway will be that More >

Panhandle boy dies after attack by bulldogs
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 8:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 8:23 a.m.
CALLAWAY, Fla. — A 7-year-old boy has died a week after he was attacked by two bulldogs while riding his bicycle after school.
Bay County Sheriff's Office officials told the News Herald of Panama City that Tyler Jett was pronounced dead Sunday afternoon at a Pensacola hospital. He suffered a punctured carotid artery.
The child was attacked April 2 by an Alapaha blood bulldog named Fat Boy and a brindle bulldog named MJ. Authorities say the dogs belonged to Edward Daniels Jr.
Family members came to Jett's aid and chased the dogs back to Daniels' home. Deputies investigating the attack arrested Daniels on drug charges. He was also charged last week with tampering with evidence. Authorities say he washed blood from the dog's face. Deputies say he could face additional charges.

Abdominal radiation - dischargeRadiation - abdomen - discharge
When you have radiation treatment for cancer, your body goes through some changes.
Two weeks after radiation treatment starts, you might have changes in your skin. Your skin and mouth may turn red. Your skin might start to peel or get dark. Your skin may itch.
Most of these symptoms will go away after your treatments have stopped.
Your body hair will fall out after about 2 weeks, but ONLY in the area being treated. When your hair grows back, it may be different than before.
Diarrhea, cramping in your belly, and upset stomach may start around the second or third week after radiation treatments start.
Skin Care
When you have radiation treatment, a health care provider draws colored markings on your skin. Do not remove them. These show where to aim the radiation. If they come off, do not redraw them. Tell your doctor instead. These must stay there until your treatments are done.
Take care of the treatment area:
- Wash gently with lukewarm water only. Do not scrub. Pat your skin dry.
- Do NOT use soap on this area. Do not use lotions, ointments, makeup, perfumed powders or products on this area. Ask your doctor what you should use.
- Keep the area that is being treated out of the direct sun.
- Do not scratch or rub your skin.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have any break or opening in your skin. Do not put heating pads or ice bags on the treatment area.
Wear loose-fitting clothing around your stomach and pelvis
Most people who get radiation treatments begin to feel tired after a few weeks. If you feel tired:
- Do not try to do too much. You probably will not be able to do everything you used to.
- Try to get more sleep at night. Rest during the day when you can.
- Take a few weeks off work, or work less.
Ask your doctor before taking any drugs or other remedies for an upset stomach.
If your stomach feels upset just before your treatment:
- Try a bland snack, such as toast or crackers and apple juice, before your treatment.
- Try to relax before your treatment. Reading a book, writing letters, or doing a crossword puzzle may help.
If your stomach is upset right after radiation treatment:
- Do not eat for four hours before your treatment.
- Wait 1 to 2 hours after your treatment before eating again.
- Your doctor may prescribe medicines to help.
Some tips to help an upset stomach:
- Stay on the special diet that your doctor or dietitian may recommend for you.
- Eat small meals, and eat more often during the day.
- Eat and drink slowly.
- Do not eat foods that are fried or are high in fat.
- Drink cool liquids between meals.
- Choose foods with a mild odor, or eat foods that are cool or at room temperature, instead of warm or hot. Cooler foods will smell less.
- Try a clear liquid diet, such as tea, broth, and juices.
- Eat bland food, such as dry toast and Jell-O.
Some tips to help with diarrhea:
- Try a clear liquid diet -- water, weak tea, apple juice, peach nectar, clear broth, and plain Jell-O.
- Do not eat raw fruits and vegetables and other high-fiber foods, coffee, beans, cabbage, whole grain breads and cereals, sweets, and spicy foods.
- Eat and drink slowly.
- Do not eat milk and other dairy products if they bother your bowels.
- When the diarrhea starts to improve, try eating small amounts of low-fiber foods, such as white rice, bananas, applesauce, mashed potatoes, low-fat cottage cheese, and dry toast.
- You need foods that are high in potassium (bananas, potatoes, and apricots) when you have diarrhea.
You need to eat enough protein and calories to keep your weight up.

Four very different women navigate one of life's most wonderful and perilous transitions: the journey of new motherhood.
Rebecca Rothstein Rabinowitz is a plump, sexy chef who has a wonderful husband, a restaurant that's received citywide acclaim, a beautiful baby girl and the mother-in-law from hell. Kelly Day's life looks picture-perfect. But behind the doors, she's struggling to balance work, motherhood and marriage, while dealing with an unemployed husband who seems content to channel-surf for eight hours a day. Ayinde Towne's already on shaky ground, when her basketball superstar husband breaks her trust at the most vulnerable moment in her life, putting their marriage in peril -- and thrusting their new family further into the public eye. Then there's Lia Frederick, a Philadelphia native who has left Los Angeles behind, along with her glamorous Hollywood career, her husband, and a tragic secret.
With her trademark warmth and humor, Weiner tells the story of what happens after happily ever after.
©2004 Jennifer Weiner (P)2011 Simon & Schuster
"Hilarious, heartbreaking, and insightful." (The Miami Herald)
"Immensely readable.... Weiner's gift lies in her ability to create characters who both amuse us and make us care." (The Washington Post)
"Weiner, a wonderful natural writer and storyteller, renders her characters and their lives in details that resonate as the real deal." (Publishers Weekly)
"for everyone who's ever been a mother"
if you are, or have ever been a mother, if you're pregnant, or even thinking about having a baby, you will be able to relate to the characters and situations in this book. Even though much of it is cliched, the story is so heartwarming and humorous it just grabbed me!
I'm in my 50's, so it's been quite a while since I went through what the 4 women in this story are dealing with, but this brought all the memories back to me in color.
But more than entertainment, there is a lot of subtle wisdom imparted here. I smiled and winced as the characters messed up their lives and their relationships. The author manages to create sympathy not only for her 4 female protagonists, but also for their partners and families. There were times I saw myself or someone I knew, and in the meddling mother-in-law, someone I don't want to be now that I have grandchildren.
A thoroughly enjoyable read!
"This book packs alot of story!"
This is a well told story. I am older than these women but I remember experiencing all these emotions.I found their bond wonderful. There is alot of story here and it very well written and so well narrated. Thank you Audible. Loved It.
"More than your average "chick lit""
This book is heavier than the regular "chick lit" fluff, but still an enjoyable listen. Some of the book is heartbreaking, and some of it hilarious. Great read for a new (or any!) mom!
"Driving Happily and Entertained"
Yes - entertaining and smart about relationships.
Kelly - she tried so hard to cover up any sadness or badness.
All were great. She did wonderfully with the men without making her voice sound strange.
I couldn't wait to keep listening - it was for the road while I drove my friend's moving truck across country. I kept thinking about the things friends do for each other. I laughed a couple of times about Becky's reactions to things.
Loved the narrator and the book. I wish all were this awesome. I didn't think the subject matter was for me but I trust this author to be good. I am oldish and childless so pregnancy and newborns is a little outside my experience but that wasn't really the main subject but part of the conflict for the characters.
I LOVE this story. Realistic, wonderfully written, perfect narration. Easy to get lost in and you'll want to hear it again once it's over the first time! HIGHLY recommend it!
"Interesting and Humurous"
The characters were well defined and their chemistry with each other was enjoyable.
Big Little Lies
The authors way of switching between the 4 main characters kept the book exciting and me wanting to hear more...
Hard to choose a favorite, all the main characters were interesting. I think Rebecca was my favorite.
This is the kind of book that makes your day fly by while listening....
"Every mother must read!"
Great great book!! Every mother must read! It will make you cry and laugh out load I could not put it down
"Great Story, Odd Voice"
The story itself was quite entertaining and relatable, but the reader's voice was a bit hard to get used to.
If you like Jennifer Weiner's other works, you'll like this one as well.
"A typical Jennifer Weiner story"
Yes, even if they haven't read any other books by Jennifer Weiner. I really like when stories are about more than 1 person and in this case they all end up being friends.
Laurie S. Sherman
"Find GoCharacters, Plot, Current Issues"
I like the way that Weiner writes her interwoven story lines. The basics is that there are four women in four very different situations, who are all dealing with the same general issues. It is refreshing to read about people who reach out and across the gulf of socio-economic status, desires, paths taken and difficulties to really become true friends, people who are THERE for each other however huge or relatively small the issues that they are dealing with. Here are women who could be jealous and bitter, but instead they reach out and are kind, loving and more sisters than the "blood" sister secondary characters introduced so that we could see how profound these four who meet fairly randomly.
Having had twins and a singleton, I know about postpartum depression, the need for support, the exhaustion, the incredible experience of pregnancy, delivery and the first year. and also miscarrage... I had to get through all of this it by myself. it was good to read about women who could really help each other through the transformation that these women had to traverse in order to be of help in the best ways possible. The arc of character development was the thrust of the plot and I like character driven stories very much. If you do, you will enjoy this great read.
"Heartwarming tales of Motherhood & Friendship"
May be
Rebecca Rabinowitz's face-to-face address to her mother-in-law following her mother-in-law's decision to cut off her son and have nothing to do with him and Rebecca following the "Christmas" saga. Not many people would have chosen to act with such humility. I really expected a show down, expected that with the support of her husband, Rebecca would have put her mother-in-law in her place with some harsh words/truth. Instead she showed such humility and maturity, I could see why her husband was so in love with her.
Yes. The characters had very distinctive qualities and life stories allowing the author to cover a wider range of challenges faced by women and particularly new mothers. It helped that the characters were strangers, unknown personally to each at the beginning of the book/story.
Yes, a movie or a tv mini-series. Katherine Heigl as Kelly Day and Alex Pettyfer or Kellan Lutz as her husband; Sanaa Lathan as Ayinde Towne and Rick Fox as her husband; Seth Rogen as Dr Rabonowitz, Camryn Manheim or Marissa Jaret Winokur as Rebecca; and Marla Sokoloff as Lia Frederick
This is a good book, the story is somewhat predictable but realistic and empowering.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A central Ohio man who once had a murder case dismissed because a prosecution witness failed to show for his trial has been sent to prison for sexually abusing two girls.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/10FZzLO ) reports that 42-year-old Quincy Phipps was sentenced Monday to 27 years in prison for rape and gross sexual imposition. He was convicted by a jury last month of abusing the girls, who were related to him by marriage.
In 2006, Phipps was indicted on a charge that he fatally shot a pizza shop manager in 1993.
The case had languished for years until Phipps' ex-girlfriend told detectives that he had confessed to her. Phipps was indicted, but his ex-girlfriend didn't show up to testify and couldn't be located.

These Cognacs have been specially blended to match perfectly with a good cigar.
There is a long tradition of marrying cigars and sipping Cognac. A good Havana -even a relatively modest Romeo y Julieta or a Montecristo- will enhance enormously the Cognac experience of a cigar smoker. While smoking cigarettes while sipping a good Cognac may, acording to many experts, reduce drastically the tasting ability, paused and calm cigar smoking seems in many cases to interact powerfully and increase the array of tastes (perhaps more than the aromas) and become a radically pleasant experience.

at what age i can put my baby on a baby carrier?
safe age of baby can put on baby carrier?
17th February 2014 04:30 AM #2
Dear gelizaire,
There are many baby carriers which are safe to use from birth. One of the most popular type of sling for newborn babies is a stretchy sling. These are super for keeping your new baby close to you and comforted throughout the day. You can also breastfeed in them and you have your hands free.
Woven wraps are also very popular from birth - these take a bit more practice than a stretchy sling. There are now many, many sling meets and sling libraries where you can get support from other parents who babywear.
You said your daughter is 5 months old. At this age a stretchy sling is likely to sag too much and perhaps not be supportive enough. I personally found a Mei Tai excellent and easy to use at this age. You can also back carry with this type of carrier. Alternatively, you may like to try a 'full buckle' carrier such as a Manduca or a Tula.
I think you will find a supportive baby carrier which distributes your baby's weight well around your body (such as those mentioned above) excellent both practically and for bonding with your daughter.
Please do post any further questions you have here.
Warm wishes,

NEWTON, MA -- Firestone Financial Corp. said it has added Berkshire Bank, Massachusetts's oldest and largest independent bank, to its bank group. Firestone, a direct lender to vending and amusement operators since 1965, also announced the signing of a revolving credit facility of $150 million. That's a $25 million increase to the credit line it established in May 2011.
"We are growing and have partnered with banks that understand our growth strategy and support our initiatives," said Firestone president and chief executive David Cohen. "The addition of Berkshire Bank will provide the capital we need to increase our presence in our existing markets and to explore new ones."
The updated commitment to Firestone comprises the same banks that participated in the last credit facility, which was led by Citizens Bank and included Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Bank of America N.A., TD Bank N.A. and Brookline Bank. | SEE STORY
"Firestone Financial has built its business based upon longstanding customer relationships and industry expertise, a philosophy that is shared by Berkshire Bank," said Patrick Sullivan, Berkshire's executive vice-president of commercial banking and wealth management.
Pittsfield, MA-based Berkshire Hills Bancorp, parent of Berkshire Bank, has around $5.3 billion in assets. It maintains 73 full-service branches in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Vermont that provide personal and business banking, insurance and wealth management.

"Both of us had been praying that God would send our mate, asking God for every quality we wanted, and that they would be a Godly person, that we could serve the Lord together. We both agree that God answered our prayers plus some."
I tell you what, God answers prayers! My fiancé and I started communicating on ChristianMingle on November 6, 2013. His username was "Sportsman27" and mine was "Oklahomagirl17." We were both looking for the same things. When I asked him what he was looking for he said, "Someone who loves the Lord, will study the Bible with me, will love me and my son, honestly who is done with the party scene, will go to their knees with all of likes problems with me and my best friend (his son)." I told him I was looking for a man that will make God his focus and lead his wife and family in the same way. I feel like if you pray together, you stay together. I wanted someone that would be selfless – put God first, his wife and family second, and then himself. I let him know that I was dating to find my husband.
The advice I would give ChristianMingle members is to never settle. Let go and let God, because He knows what is best for you and who will make you happy. Another thing Lance and I would say is PRAY!! God hears you, and he will answer your prayers even better than you could imagine. Be picky about what qualities you want, and most importantly, make sure you each are putting God first. We always see the ChristianMingle commercials, and we say that's us!! It really can happen! Thank you ChristianMingle!

Teams balance attendance tightrope
Fine line between filling park, creating overcrowding issues
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | March 16, 2012 6:06 AM ET
But how much is too much? At what point does a large crowd actually hinder the fan experience, creating an atmosphere of claustrophobia and exasperation instead of one of communal joy?
That's a "first world" Minor League problem if there ever was one, but a problem nonetheless. And last week the Lakewood BlueClaws brought it into the open with the announcement that, starting this season, attendance at FirstEnergy Park would no longer exceed 8,000.
This announcement was surprising, especially in that it was far from some theoretical "what if" exercise. The BlueClaws, who are located on the Jersey Shore and market themselves to both locals and summertime beach-goers, have exceeded 8,000 fans as many as 18 times in a season (often on Friday Fireworks nights). A Ryan Howard rehab appearance in 2010 drew 10,032 to the ballpark, and the largest crowd in franchise history was a whopping 13,003.
In the press release announcing the attendance cap, the team noted that their goals include "limiting the longer lines at the concession stands and bathrooms that occur at the largest crowd games as well as creating additional room on the concourse on the busiest of nights."
Reached by phone Tuesday, Lakewood general manager Geoff Brown elaborated on the factors that led to this unorthodox announcement.
"Over the course of the last couple of years, we realized that crowds of nine or 10 thousand might be a little too crowded," said Brown, who has served as the BlueClaws GM since 1999. "So we conducted some focus groups with our fans -- season ticket holders, mini-plan holders and those who go to only one or two games a year -- and in speaking with them, reached the conclusion that some of our games had gotten a hair too crowded."
That doesn't mean that the fans were unanimous in their opinions. The BlueClaws are one of Minor League Baseball's most proactive teams when it comes to social media, and, after making the announcement, the team was flooded with feedback from Twitter followers and Facebook fans. (Interestingly, the sentiment from the former was uniformly positive while the latter was far more varied.)
Brown concedes some fans will have to "adjust their thinking," and plan ahead to a greater extent than they have been used to.
"In almost every case, if a fan calls in at noon that day they'll be able to buy tickets. It's just a matter of having to show a little more anticipation, and a little more planning," he said. "Many of these fans are calling us anyway, asking 'What time do the gates open? What time is the game? Is there a promo?' If they're doing that, we'd ask that they buy the tickets right there on the phone."
The BlueClaws are convinced that the attendance cap will be a boon to the ballpark experience, with the potential inconvenience to indecisive fans outweighed by better parking options, shorter concession lines and a less crowded concourse area. And it is Brown's belief that lost revenue as a result of the cap will be negligible, as fans who are unable to get tickets to a particular game will simply make plans to attend another one instead.

Redbirds are Tweeting
Look for Memphis to be doing more Tweeting in 2012, similar to the Twinterviews that were introduced late last year.
"After that day, we swore we'd never have a crowd that large again. We flat-out aggravated people," said Brown. "Disaster might be too strong a word for it, but maybe not. I had conversations with fans that night where, afterwards, it was like, 'I know we just lost that guy [as a fan] forever.'"
FirstEnergy Park only has 6,588 fixed seats. The reason that the BlueClaws have so much leeway when it comes to defining what constitutes a "sellout" is because the stadium has plenty of extra room in the form of lawn seating, party decks and standing room spots on the concourse. Those who want to ensure themselves of an actual seat are advised to act in advance.
This strategy is also employed by their fellow Philadelphia affiliates, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, an International League attendance juggernaut who have drawn more than 600,000 fans in each of their four seasons of existence. The team's Coca-Cola Park has 8,100 fixed seats, with the rest of its Triple-A minimum 10,000 capacity accounted for by lawn seating, multi-tiered drink rails and a brand-new "Tiki Terrace."
"We stop at 10,000, and we're comfortable with that number. Last year, that was a number we probably reached 20 times," said IronPigs general manager Kurt Landes. "We hate to turn down fans who want to purchase tickets and lose that revenue. But that's why we encourage fans to purchase tickets in advance, because for those 10,000 people inside we don't want to hurt the experience."
Advance purchases have proven to be a great boon, as they help to protect the club from uncontrollable variables, such as the weather, that can often greatly diminish walk-up sales.
"If you want to make sure that you'll have a seat, then purchase in advance," said Landes. "But usually you can buy at the last minute and still get in. There are different ways to enjoy the game and be part of the action."
The IronPigs' strategy is clearly working for them, but maintaining such a position over the long term is a bit of a tightrope act between supply and demand. Fans need to be aware of the need for advance purchases, while feeling like they can also make spontaneous gameday decisions and still gain admission to the ballpark.
The Lowell Spinners have struggled with just such a balancing act in recent years, thanks to a much-vaunted sellout streak that ended in 2010 after 413 games. Though the streak itself was commendable, it has led to some unfortunate consequences.
"People got to feeling that they couldn't get tickets, so they weren't even going to try. That's something that has come back to haunt us. There's still this perception that you can't get tickets," said Spinners general manager Tim Bawmann. "Now we're very careful to say that we're not sold out, instead promoting as 'standing room only.' It's a fine line."
Streak or no streak, the Spinners are assured of drawing capacity crowds to LeLacheur Park at various points throughout the season. Through experience, Bawmann and his staff have learned to determine when enough is enough.
"You just have to be cautious and have all your antennas up," he said. "We only have so many bathrooms, we only have so many concession points of sale. It's a disservice to our product when there are too many people at the stadium."
And when there are big crowds, teams employ their own methods to help ensure that the evening runs as smoothly as possible. On occasion, Landes has freed up parking space by opening up the employee lot to paying customers. (A shuttle bus is then utilized to bring staffers to the stadium from an offsite parking area.) And he also adjusts various team policies according to attendance expectations.
"We open the gates early [when large crowds are expected]. This keeps the food lines down, more easily distributes the flow of fans and also helps with the flow of cars," he said. "All of these things get better with time and experience, and we can always change our approach."
And through it all, teams such as the BlueClaws, IronPigs and Spinners try to maintain the proper perspective.
"This is a great problem to have," said Bawmann of managing large crowds and the expectations that come with them. "I'd much rather be dealing with this than with the other side of the problem."

West Jordan • As 88-year-old World War II veteran Paul Sersland got off the historic B-17 bomber Monday at the South Valley Regional Airport, he bent over and kissed the ground.
This was the first time the Layton resident had actually flown on an airplane since 1954. After surviving 35 missions over Germany as part of a 10-man bombing crew between October of 1944 and March of 1945, he simply wasn't comfortable flying. He admitted to being more than a little nervous on his last flight on a commercial plane that took him over the Grand Canyon.
"I talked with the Lord and he decided I didn't need to fly anymore," said Sersland.
One of the major reasons the Liberty Foundation brings its B-17 Flying Fortress to airports such as South Valley Regional is to help preserve the stories of veterans such as Sersland. This plane, called the Memphis Belle, was featured in the movie of the same name. It is one of only 13 B-17s that still fly today and one of only four that can carry passengers. Boeing produced 12,732 of the B-17s between 1935 and 1945, 4,735 of which were lost in combat.
The B-17 will be part of International Learn to Fly Day Saturday at Leading Edge Aviation at the South Valley Regional Airport. Events include discovery flights on small planes, a bounce house for kids and a barbecue. Public, 45-minute flights on the Memphis Belle are available for $450 both Saturday and Sunday morning. After the flights, the public can tour the inside of the plane with donations accepted.
Before Monday's flight, Sersland asked Tom Ward, a Sunday school teacher at the Layton Baptist Church he attends, to say a brief prayer.
"We never went on one bombing mission without the chaplain saying a prayer," explained Sersland, who was wearing his Army Air Corps Uniform that celebrated his unit's nickname, the Hells Angels.
The World War II veteran said that on one of the 35 raids over Germany where he served as a waist and tail gunner for the machine guns shot through open windows, German fighter planes hit the No. 1 engine. It started vibrating badly. Several feet of the plane's right wing were gone and gasoline was pouring off it. The oil pressure dropped on the No. 2 engine, which was soon lost. The plane dropped out of formation, becoming a "straggler" vulnerable to being shot down by the Germans.
After finishing his first flight in 59 years, Sersland's reaction wasn't that much different than when he completed his 35th final mission after World War II.
"This reminded me of who brought me back," he said. "The Lord brought me back. I had work still left to do. Not too many completed all 35 bombing missions. The odds are pretty slim to make it all the way. I was extremely fortunate...This brought back a lot of old memories of people I flew with."
The flights were difficult. Because the planes were open to the outside air, temperatures could drop to as low as 60 or 70 below zero. Crews had to wear heated suits and clothing and worry about frostbite.
Chris Tuckfield, a United Airlines pilot who lives in Draper and has been flying this historic plane for about four years, said a veteran influenced him to be a pilot when he was growing up. He knew a man that had metal claws for hands, a metal nose and was missing an ear, who told him of his experiences in the B-17. That influenced his career.
He compared flying this plane to antique automobile lovers who restore old cars and then go out for a drive.
"This is much more pilot intensive," he said. "You have to do everything yourself."
Pilots such as Tuckfield and John Hess of Atlanta said flying this plane requires lots of upper body strength and a lot of labor, much more than on a modern aircraft.
Larry Hansen of Colorado Springs helps answer questions and do maintenance on the plane. He said there is nothing better in the world than being on this plane. He showed the ball turret where a machine gunner would operate the controls from a fetal position, his hands behind his head.
Those who would like to fly in the historic plane,which costs $4,500 per flight hour and over $1.5 million a year to maintain, can contact Scott Maher at email@example.com to make a reservation.

The B-17 Flying Fortress
R When the Army requested a large, multi-engine bomber, the B-17 prototype, financed entirely by Boeing, went from design board to flight test in less than 12 months. It was a low-wing monoplane that had a flight deck instead of an open cockpit and was armed with bombs and five machine guns mounted in clear "blisters." The first B-17s saw combat in 1941 and were flown by the British Royal Air Force. The B-17E mass-produced model Flying Fortress carried nine machine guns and a 5,000-pound bomb load.
The first flight of the prototype was July 28, 1935. It had a wing span of 103 feet 9 inches and was 74 feet 9 inches in length. It weighed 65,000 pounds with a top speed of 287 mph, a cruising speed of 150 mph and a range of 3,750 miles. It was powered by four 1,200-horsepower Wright R-1820-97 engines and could accommodate two pilots, a bombardier, a radio operator and five gunners. It usually had 11 to 13 machine guns.

Remembering Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' Speech
The final refrain of Martin Luther King Jr.'s most famous speech will echo around the world as bells from churches, schools and historical monuments "let freedom ring" in celebration of a powerful moment in civil rights history.
Subscribe to WBSM-AM/AM 1420 on
Most of the commemorations will happen Wednesday at 3 p.m. locally or to coincide with 3 p.m. eastern time, the hour when King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington 50 years ago.
Quoting from the patriotic song, "My Country 'tis of Thee," King implored his audience to "let freedom ring" from the "hilltops" and "mountains" of every state, some of which he mentioned as examples in his speech.
On Wednesday, bells will ring from each of those particular sites, and beyond.

Patient safety and comfort are my top priorities. All surgeries are performed in accredited hospitals with board certified anesthesiologists as needed.
I use the latest techniques and technology to enhance my outcomes and am consistently on the cutting edge with my procedures and innovation. Patients are referred from many other physicians and surgeons as well as many plastic surgeons, particularly for breast surgery.
Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face , breast, body and hand Expertise in minimally invasive surgery, microsurgery and fat grafting techniques.
I meet all patients individually and spend time discussing concerns and customizing a treatment plan with the goal of exceeding expectations.
Since patient safety is my top priority, I avoid surgery centers for most procedures. I prefer to work in fully accredited hospitals with all board certified providers. I am given special cosmetic rates that match or exceed surgery centers. When emergencies occur in surgery centers, patients are sent to hospitals after calling 911. This is simply unacceptable for my patients.

RIM Offers Premium Apps to Compensate for Four-Day Outage
Tiffany Kaiser
October 17, 2011 8:38 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis
(Source: zimbio.com)
Analysts say it sounds like a move that will make customers aware of BlackBerry's App World
Last week, a four-day
outage of BlackBerry services
left millions of users with email, browsing and instant messaging troubles, but Research In Motion (RIM) is sending an apology in the form of free apps to make up for the disruption.
On October 10, BlackBerry customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa began experiencing problems with their messaging, browsing and email services. RIM blamed the service troubles on an extremely critical network failure. On Tuesday, the outage spread to South America and Asia, and on Wednesday,
the United States and Canada
There are an estimated 70 million BlackBerry users worldwide.
RIM's BlackBerry service update confirmed that services began to operate normally on Thursday, October 13. RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis
released an apology video
on RIM's website saying that it is the company's goal to provide a reliable communications network, but "did not deliver on that goal this week." RIM Chief Information Officer Robin Bienfait offered an apology on the RIM website as well.
But RIM knew an apology probably wasn't going to fully compensate for the four days of unreliable service. Many use BlackBerry devices for work, and can't perform well when the device cannot perform well either.
Now, RIM announced this morning that it will provide a selection of premium apps for BlackBerry users to download for free starting Wednesday, October 19.
"Our global network supports the communications needs of more than 70 million customers," said Lazaridis. "We truly appreciate and value our relationship with our customers. We've worked hard to earn their trust over the past 12 years, and we're committed to providing the high standard of reliability they expect, today and in the future."
While the complete list of premium apps is currently not available, a few that made the list are "SIMS 3," "Bejeweled," "Texas Hold 'Em Poker 2," "Bubble Bash 2," "iSpeech Translator Pro," "Photo Editor Ultimate," "Drive Safe.ly Enterprise," "Shazam Encore," "N.O.V.A.," and "Nobex Radio Premium."
Some analysts wonder if the
free apps
will be enough of an apology, saying that RIM may have fixed the problem but the damage to its reputation is done. BlackBerry has had
two other outages before
, and customers are starting to see a pattern.
Others, however, see RIM's free premium app move as a wise decision that will make customers aware of BlackBerry's App World. This is especially helpful, considering developers were dropping support for RIM, making it "the biggest loser" in the mobile app race.
"For RIM, this is an interesting way to attract users to the App World and incentivize them to search and download apps," said Francisco Jeronimo, an analyst at IDC. "What RIM probably did was an agreement with developers and is not charging the percentage on revenues they keep when a user buys an app."
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Taylor Swift and Harry styles fuel dating rumors with zoo visit
Listen to Tayor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Taylor Swift and One Direction star Harry Styles have fueled romance rumours by enjoying a day out together at New York's Central Park Zoo.
T-Swift, who recently split from Conor Kennedy, was first linked to the British hunk after they were reportedly spotted holding hands backstage at The X Factor in Los Angeles on November 15th.
On Sunday, they increased the speculation by spending time together in the Big Apple, with several onlookers detailing the stars' day trip on Twitter.
One user wrote, "Um I just saw Harry Styles and Taylor Swift walking together in Central Park," while another tweeted, "I just met Harry Styles and Taylor Swift together in Central Park."
The pair was joined by Styles' stylist Lou Teasdale, her fiance Tom and their baby Lux, and a source tells E! News the group enjoyed its visit to the zoo.
The insider reveals, "Harry and Taylor were walking next to each other. They seemed happy to be together, talking and smiling. Taylor seemed to be in a great mood. Lou and Tom were walking next to them and pushing their baby Lux in a stroller."

Natural Remedies for Cold and Cough
We have had a cold/cough going through our family and I saw a post on the forums of another mum who has a child with a cough, so I thought I'd post some suggestions for natural remedies you can give your child to speed recovery and quiet a cough.
You could try making a mixture of honey and ginger juice and giving that to your child twice a day to help quiet a cough and boost his immune system. I haven't tried this, as I only now learned about it, but it's worth a try and the ginger and honey are really good for the immune system.
Here's a video showing you how to make this natural cough syrup which can be done in a matter of minutes.
Here's a Homemade Cough and Cold Syrup recipe that is mostly honey and onions. I've used something like this in the past and it worked for me.
I have a wonderful Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner who makes up a wonderful herbal blend for my children, depending on what kind of cough they have (not all coughs are the same - some are dry, some are productive, etc.). I used this herbal blend with one of my children this month, and it really helped to speed her cough recovery.
I know it's important to reduce/eliminate sugar and white flour products simply because those things will suppress the immune system and you want your child's immune system to be as strong as possible when healing.
Does anyone have any natural remedies they use for a cold?
Warm regards,

We get through the cold season with steam from the shower, the neti pot, and peppermints. However, I am very interested in trying this homemade cough syrup recipe. Great post!

Hope your family are feeling better now Kate. This information is great for us breastfeeding mums too, who need natural remedies.
-We use a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil put into very hot water and stood in a beaker somewhere in the room (out of the reach of children!) to help with nasal congestion.
-Chicken soup has natural healing (and feel good!) properties: there's a good recipe for Organic Chicken Soup here.
-Vapour rubs (made from essential oils or even beeswax) can be used on babies over 3 month old: rub it into your baby's chest. You can even make your own vapour rub.
-From 6 months old, extra fluids also help baby's and children to get through a cold/ cough quicker.
-Try to get as much rest as you can!

I know an easy remedy: Rub some Vaporub on the base of your feet and wear socks over them before going to bed. This is an easy and non-invasive way to get rid of the congestion and cold.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful video Kate. Indeed ginger really helps in boosting the immune system. It is even a cure for other ailments also like inflammation. When my father's gums are swelling, he uses ginger to soothe it. And it works!

Hi Kate,
Great post on natural remedies for cold and cough and like to add to cure cold and cough take steamy shower, drink hot soups and wash your mouth with saltwater. Watch what you eat and increase your water intake. Blow nose more often, gargle and avoid alcohol, caffeine and other stimulants. Avoid exercise and take rest.
7th August 2013 07:51 PM #8
Thanks for sharing this Hary - I have also found that inhaling steam helps to loosen mucous and deal with a cough or cold.
If you are breastfeeding then you should continue breastfeeding your baby on demand when they have a cough or cold. Many babies feed more frequently when they are feeding unwell. A few drops of hand-expressed breastmik applied to the nostrils can help to loosen the mucous and also can heal the cold more quickly.
Best wishes,

During any season change we have found that symptoms of cold & cough are quite common. Therefore we need to go for natural and other remedies that help to prevent cold & cough. Natural remedies include garlic; herbal tea and others.

Garlic - that's an interesting one! Thanks paulharper I will stock up on that.

I hadn't thought of garlic until paul harper mentioned it above so I've been looking up some natural garlic remedies too. I like this garlic and honey cough remedy. Note though that you should not give honey to children aged 12 months or under (because honey can cause botulism in babies).
Hope you and your family stay healthy

How a Man Spends Thanksgiving
It's a common misconception that bourbon can only be made in Kentucky. Kentuckians like to think only the best bourbons are made in their state, but with the expansion of American craft distilleries, bourbon is being made everywhere from New York to California. Simply put, bourbon is a spirit made from at least 51 percent corn and aged in new charred oak barrels. Production and resting proof are regulated, but most importantly, it must be bottled at 80 proof (40 percent alcohol by volume) or higher. And, of course, made only in the great United States of America.
There are a confounding number of details that distinguish small batch from single barrel and bonded from blended. You need not know all or event most, but to appear competent, there are a few terms to keep at hand.
Straight Whiskey: Not necessarily a bourbon, this is a whiskey made from at least 51 percent of any grain. It carries the same proof minimum as bourbon, but straight whiskey also needs to see at least two years in charred new oak barrels, whereas bourbon has no aging requirements. Added color and flavor are shunned in both categories.
Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey: These have been bottled from one barrel only. They're entirely unique in the sense that each vessel has its own temperature and character. Evan Williams specializes in single barrels, most of which are very good, including the latest 2001 edition, a dark, toffee-rich liquid that makes a perfect dessert.
Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey: The term for bourbons made from a few select barrels married together for consistency. A good place to start is Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch 2010, which has a bit of sandalwood and a lot of golden pipe tobacco flavor, and might just inspire you to open a leather-bound book.
