Domestic Violence
Discussing an Abusive Relationship
I believe my sister-in-law and kids are being abused. She and her husband have been having problems for quite some time. A year ago, he admitted (after being caught) to having an affair for the previous 4-5 years. He is always belittling her and their kids. He has a quick temper and my husband and I have suspected that he is abusing them. This weekend, I witnessed him lose his temper at their son over a sibling issue (son hit the daughter). He slapped his son so hard (on the face) that he knocked him to the ground. He proceeded to remove him forceably from the room by the arms and screamed at both kids for the next 20 minutes. My kids witnessed this.
What should I do? I don`t know how to broach the subject with her. What complicates this is that she lives about 2 hours from her family (in his hometown) and he is a police officer. Her mother is afraid of what he would do if she leaves.
This is a difficult situation. I think if you voice your concern from the perspective of how it impacts you, it may open the lines of communication.
For example, instead of making statements that are accusatory, you could say, "I feel really concerned and scared when I see how hard he hits the boys." Refrain from accusing her in any way, so that she will not feel she is being attacked for not doing a better job of protecting her family.
Helping to educate her about violence in families may also be helpful. But again, you need to simply share observations from your personal perspective - not an accusatory one.
Officers are not exempt from committing acts of domestic violence. The Lautenberg Act prohibits individuals, including officers, from owning firearms or ammunition if they have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence.
I encourage you to talk to your sister-in-law, as your voice of concern may protect her life and the life of her children.

A PICTURE donated by former House of Commons speaker Betty Boothroyd is to be auctioned off later this month to raise funds for Sedgley based Beacon Centre for the Blind.
The picture is thought to have hung in Ms Boothroyd's office until her retirement, when she donated it to the Beacon Centre.
Painted by renowned artist Edna Lumb, the picture depicts a colliery in Yorkshire where Ms Boothroyd was born and she kept it in her office because it reminded her of her childhood.
The picture will go on sale at Fielding's Auctioneers in Stourbridge on Saturday April 26.
Fieldings picture consultant Bill Lacey said: "I expect the piece to fetch at least £300 in auction, but I hope it will raise much more as the funds are going to a very worthy cause."
Interested parties can bid for the painting by visiting www.fieldingsauctioneers.co.uk or by calling 01384 444141 for further details.


text: Blue Wing OliveThe Blue Wing Olive dry fly is a staple in most freestone trout streams, spring creeks and tailwaters. This fly mimics many small mayflies grouped in the category, Blue Wing Olive or BWO. This fly pattern is used all over the United States, successfully and it is one of the best patterns to use during the Winter in the Smokies.Blue Wing Olives love nasty weather. On wet or even snowy days, these tiny mayflies may be hatching, mating and laying eggs. For that reason, the BWO is one of the most important dry flies in your fly box. We sell many Blue Wing Olive patterns and this is just one of them. If you fly fish for trout with a dry fly in the Winter, you will most likely be using a Blue Wing Olive pattern.Also, in the early Spring, when Quill Gordons and Blue Quills are out and about, the Blue Wing Olive may be among them.FREE GROUND SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATESLittle River Outfitters is a fly shop and mail order company located in Townsend, Tennessee, a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Upton brothers arrive, take BP with Heyward
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- B.J. Upton will experience a number of firsts as he fulfills his dream of playing with his brother and gets used to being a Braves player this year. The veteran outfielder got a few of those firsts out of the way Tuesday, when he made his first appearance at Spring Training.
When Upton arrived at Champion Stadium, he found his locker located next to his brother Justin's. The two brothers joined fellow outfielder Jason Heyward for an impressive batting-practice session that showed the potential strength of Atlanta's new-look outfield.
"This is something I've been looking forward to, but we've got about eight months of it," B.J. Upton said. "So it's something I'm sure I'll get used to."
While he had taken batting practice with his brother during the offseason, this marked the first time Upton gained a better sense of the impressive power created by Heyward's left-handed swing.
"I haven't seen anything like that," Upton said. "I played here [at Champion Stadium] in Double-A, and the wind blows straight in. For him to cut the wind like that with the wind blowing to left, that is tough to do. That got me pretty excited for the season."
Upton signed a franchise-record five-year, $75.25 million contract with the Braves in November. The 28-year-old outfielder had spent each of his previous 10 professional seasons with the Rays.
"It's a change of scenery for me," Upton said. "I'm part of a pretty good ballclub. There is kind of a lot of hype surrounding us right now, so it's kind of good to get out there and just talk and not really worry about that. I'm just going to come out, have fun and get acclimated with the guys."
When Justin Upton arrived at camp on Monday, he said he had told his brother he was crazy to want to make the 45-minute commute from his Tampa-area home to Atlanta's Spring Training complex. This is the first Florida-based Spring Training for Justin, who spent each of his previous seven professional seasons with the D-backs in Arizona.
"It's a piece of cake," B.J. Upton said of his daily commute. "It's pretty quick. I've done it. I know what the drive is like. He is new to it."


text: We the living must carry on By Susan Williams September 29, 2012 Story Share Now that Gerald Wilkinson has died, the rest of us have more work to do.I am sorry if you did not know Mr. Wilkinson.I am very sorry I did not know him either until I read his obituary last week. But I was so moved by the portraits of him that came into focus in his obituary. I wish I could have known him years before cancer overcame him at age 85 in Hometown.He started out on his path of generosity as a young man. After his father died when Wilkinson was only 18, he helped to raise his little brother who was only 2, the obituary explained.He was a devoted husband who had the good sense to think of his wife as his best friend, as well as his mate, the obituary continued.After his brother fledged, Wilkinson turned his attention to the beautiful martins in his neighborhood. He built and maintained birdhouses for them, but he was also on the alert for anything that could go wrong for the baby birds.Almost every summer, I experience bird heartbreak. Birds enjoy nesting in my yard, and I enjoy seeing the babies when their heads start peeping out above the edge of the nests. But when those baby birds get a few wild feathers on their little bobbing heads, they will sometimes give you a look when their parents are away that translates to: Watch this! I know they think that while Momma Bird and Daddy Bird are out catching a snack, it would be a great time to try out some special moves. I always talk to them and give meaningful directions like: Stay in that nest! But I now know Mr. Wilkinson was a man of action, not just meaningless finger wagging.He rigged up a long pole that he used to place baby birds safely back into the house. I wish I could have seen this in reality, but in my mind's eye I can certainly see this thoughtful, patient man making sure that even a tiny bird has a second chance for a secure nest. Whoever wrote the obituary explained, "Each year the martins returned to the houses where they knew they would be safe and cared for."What greater joy for bird or man could there be?Christ told his disciples: For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. As the story unfolded, Jesus explained that "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."Wilkinson understood Christ's message and was always ready to give of himself whether to his younger brother or a tiny bird. Without question, Wilkinson lived his life giving whenever he was needed. Now we the living must take over for him. He pulled his own weight and the weight of those in need throughout his life. "He will forever be remembered," the obituary states, "for his love and devotion to God's creatures."Christ also encouraged us to "look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"Now we need to add Wilkinson's workload to our own. If a child in need crosses our path, we must follow Wilkinson's great example. If a fledgling needs our protection, we must not hesitate.Wilkinson left us many thoughtful examples of how to be a caring person. His hands and heart are still now. Our hands and hearts must be ready to make the world a little safer and a little more loving for all of God's creatures. Williams is a staff writer for the Charleston Gazette.

A New Store That Features Unique Clothing Is Open. Ragstock Is Now In The Empire Mall.
When my family says it's time to go to the mall, I'm usually the one that isn't too excited. But that is about to change because of one particular store that has just opened in The Empire Mall.
Although I'm a female, I'm not much of a shopper. But I will admit that one of my favorite places to shop is the boutique Ragstock. If you aren't familiar with Ragstock, it's a store with a collection of not only vintage clothing from local shoppers, contemporary basics and the not-so-easy to find items that are often labeled as "unique". Ragstock also has novelty gifts-many made from recycled materials, sandals, cowboy boots, purses and accessories.
Ragstock is located in the Sears wing of The Empire Mall and is currently hiring. (Wait! Am I seeing a new part-time job in my future? Maybe…….just maybe…….)

I'd like to address 2 issues:
[1] I just sat for 15 minutes...and basically mind chattered for 13 of them! Not literally of course, I didn't time this, but it was like, what's the point!? I know we just 'take it back to the breath no matter what or how many times we wander', but I was wondering if any others experience this? It isn't every time, but really, 95% of my sitting meditation was just bonkers.
Second and more serious issue.
[2] I'm starting to lose my faith and belief in almost everything. But this is coming from just sitting mediation. I mean, I know about the Noble 8 Fold Path, and in trying to be a kind loving person in general, I tend to live the path (badly!) by default. I mean I don't drink, smoke, eat meat very very sparingly, I don't swear, I try to be thoughtful and loving to all, live a clean life, I hate nobody, you know, usual stuff.
But whilst sitting this morning (ironically during my 13 minute mind chattering session!) I realised the almost laughable siutation of what I think I believe to be true. God? Astrology? Paganism? Illuminati? Aliens? I was like...hang on, do I really believe all this?
I came to the realisation (not saying this is what I hold to now, not saying this is what I do believe) that there is nothing out there. Nothing at all. No God, Aliens, Astrology, Illuminati, paganism, witchcraft, magic, no religion. There's just us and death. Life and death. And maybe...just maybe...some kind of continuation/afterlife etc which I would attribute to Buddah's teachings.
Any thoughts? Any would be appreciated.

Simplified Systems ManagementThe next generation Dell OpenManage™ suite offers enhanced operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems for effective control.
The new Dell Management Console, powered by Altiris from Symantec, delivers a single view and a common data source into the entire infrastructure. Dell Management Console is built on the Symantec™ Management Platform (formerly Altiris® Notification Server), an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic hardware management or more advanced functions such as asset and security management. Dell Management Console helps reduce or eliminate manual processes so less time and money is spent keeping the lights on and more time can be spent on strategic uses of technology.
Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced systems management integrated on the server. Lifecycle Controller simplifies administrator tasks to perform a complete set of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS environment. This eliminates the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.
The Dell Unified Server Configurator delivers a single access point for secure, efficient and user-friendly infrastructure management. Embedded and integrated into the system, it provides quick and consistent access, excellent flexibility and advanced capabilities. With built-in driver installations, firmware updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics, the USC tool is a one-stop shop for operating system deployment.

London 1913. Militancy in the Suffragette Movement is at its height. Thousands of women of all classes serve time in Holloway Prison in their fight to win the vote.

Performed at The National Theatre in London in 2008, Her Naked Skin was the first play to be performed on the Olivier stage by a living female playwright. Rebecca Lenkiewicz was inspired to write the play after reading the book Shoulder to Shoulder by Midge Mackenzie. The book documents the lives and works of some of Britain's leading suffragettes, including many excerpts from their speeches, diaries, letters and memoirs. Of the book Lenkiewicz said, "from devouring that book came my urge to write about the period and a desire to put those women into the foreground once more; their bravery and brilliance." In addition to The National Theatre, Lenkiewicz has written plays staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Edinburgh Festival, Arcola Theatre and the SoHo Theatre.

LAKE COUNTY -- The Lake County Bar Association has elected the following attorneys who will serve as its officers and board members this year: President Mary Heare Amodio, Vice President Douglas Rhoades, Treasurer Isabelle Brown and Secretary Jay Boslin.
The Lake County Bar Association is an informal association of attorneys who are members of the State Bar of California and who live, visit or practice in Lake County. The association does not offer any honorary or affiliate memberships.
The association will offer Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) on a monthly basis this year. The training is open to attorneys and paralegals needing MCLE credit. The bar association will also organize informal mixers from time to time.
"The Lake County Bar is striving to provide quality continuing education and to address the professional needs of attorneys in Lake County," Amodio said. "There are less than 100 attorneys registered with the State Bar in this county and the majority of these attorneys are solo practitioners. We hope to provide support to the local attorneys and create a collegial relationship among attorneys, even if they are typically adversaries in the court room."
Amodio added, "We are always looking at ways to grow the organization and better serve our constituents and the citizens of Lake County." For more information, contact Amodio at 263-5759 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've been watching some netflix documentaries (specifically, Gates' "African American Lives 2") and, while watching the many descriptions of experiences, thought, exactly what is "white"? Not the first time I've thought it. But in a world where inequality is so often defined as "white" vs. "black" or "white" vs "latin" or "white" vs. "asian" or any other category, what is "white". Is Italian white? Is Greek white? How about Irish (see book, "How the Irish Became White"). I understand race is a 'construct' and does not have significant biological meaning. But race (or ethnicity - maybe a better term) continues to influence human fates, how people interact, and how people think about each other.
In the Gates series, Chris Rock commented that black people he knew talked a lot about being black. Maybe that's mostly the people he knows? Looking at my own family, I don't ever remember relatives talk about being white. I suppose it was like thinking fish would talk about water - it's their world, but they didn't know it's there, didn't know anything else. They were rural midwestern. Some DID talk, a lot, about being German (this was my father's relatives, and how much smarter they thought Germans were than nonGermans, how much more practical, and frugal, and just 'better', and also how they were 'persecuted' (this was after WW II). On my mother's side, they were dirt farmers (literally, the house my mother was born in had a dirt floor. She went to school in a one-room school house) and, growing up in a town where "town" meant one church and one general store with a gas pump in front, they never saw anyone who wasn't white. Interesting to think this was probably less than 50 miles from "New Philadelphia", a mixed-race town founded by a black former slave. But there, then, 50 miles might as well have been 1,000 miles.
So, growing up, I never knew, really, what "white" meant to other people or even to me. As an adult, I do understand concepts of priviledge, and stereotypes, and I do understand that history lives, sometimes when we don't even remember it.
Probably rambling too much. Some links:
Wikipedia "Stereotypes of White People"
Wikipedia "WASP" (I find this kind of odd - I've heard people characterized even though they were not Anglo-Saxon or Protestant)
Wikipedia "White People" this is an interesting history of "white" - although most not related to what people mean whtn they say "white".
StuffWhitePeopleLike.com tongue-in-cheek. I had to page through multiple postings, finally found that white people like to pick their own fruit - I do like that.
TheRealStuffWhitePeopleLike Strange, I had to look through the entire poster to find something I liked - I found grilling and "The Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy". That's it. This is apparently a compliation from OK-Cupid profiles. According to that post, "We selected 526,000 OkCupid users at random and divided them into groups by their (self-stated) race. We then took all these people's profile essays (280 million words in total!) and isolated the words and phrases that made each racial group's essays statistically distinct from the others'. " This is clearly a biased, nonscientific analysis, based on a population of people who are on the ok-cupid site. Interesting to look at their findings, anyway.

I agree about the chocolate.
Eurasian is an ineresting term. For some reason I thought it applied to post-Soviet Russia. Always learning.
Put down "other." We all are, anyway. Personally, I like chocolate no matter what color it is, as long as it's got some sugar mixed in there. (Eat a chunk of baker's chocolate sometime.)
I think I've hit on a metaphor . . . .
Joseph, it's a very interesting question and it illustrates the difficulty of defining race and ethnicity. If you need a category, I would say bicultural, which avoids race completely. I am no expert, so you can take that with a grain of salt.
There have been interesting situations where blond blue-eyed white skinned people from Rhodesia (ie, Zimbabwe) or South Africa or Mozambique moved to the US and attempted for various reasons to get "classified" as "African-American". Such as this story. However, the designation African American came from self-definition of the ethnic group in the US who has had severe discrminiation and racial inequity, those who were descended from African slaves who were brought to the US, were mixed with other Africans and with white Americans, historically denied opportunity and denied access to the same rights and priviliges of other Americans, and have somewhat of a shared cultural experience within the US. As such, even Mr. Obama doesn't quite "fit" but as a man whose parents were African and white American, and who mostly grew up in the US, I think he has more of that identity than he could have of any other.
Using another category as an example, most people seem to think of "Asian" as someone with black hair, almond eyes, and olive complexion. So what does a Chinese person have in common with a Sri Lankan, or what does a Thai person have in common with someone in Tajikistan? The designation "Asian" is useless as well.
Personally, I don't think race has any use as a designation for what we expect from a person socially, in their skills, their attitudes, their habits.... but even so there is a real thing we call "racism" and people are dehumanized by it. How something that doesn't exist is still so real to so many, and results in so many shared experiences by so many, is a conundrum. It's hard to even have a common language to talk about it, but I think we need to try.
I agree that there is not a text book definination of white, but if you are black you know who and what is considered white in the majority of america.
It is a complex mixture of culture , perceived "class",skin color and physiognomy.
the easiest way to see the pop definiation of white is to view the popular media.
almost everything you see is a definition of white, even some of the folks with darker skin color.
most of the immigrant folks asian, hispanics, arab here who are not obviously african black learn real quick what the winnning combination is and adapt a lot of the white stuff.
the big reason of course is that white skin folks (males especially) at this time are powerfull so it is understandable. (note beautiful asian girls dating and marrying really 3 tier white guys!!
yes, you have the essence of the idea, whata you may not know is that skin color confers subtle and not so subtle advantages vis a vis Black folks especially.
these advantages are usually in the realm of personnal interactions negotations.
and , depending on the circumstances perceived status.
the difficulty in explicating this to white guys especially is that they generally do not recognize it.
good example is my work buddy; a great guy, but still does not understand the significance of the history of ethenic wealth difference. he says " i am not responsible, i never owned any slaves nor did my parents"
To be white, at least in some parts of America, is to think, speak and act a certain way. I have been fortunate enough to raise my children in a pretty decent environment. My 13 yr old daughter was telling me how her mom's friend was trying to put her down by saying she acts so "white" and she could never survive in the ghetto. Even my daughter say the absurdity of her argument. She is glad that she has the ability to speak proper English and doesn't conform to social norms.
However until we are able to educate more people, many will continue to advance their ignorance of what having a good education, speech pattern dress actually mean.
I would like to point out to you that what you refer to as "proper english" is a bit narrow minded.
the english that some Americans speak is , american english, the english spoken in other countries is different and the dialects we have here in america are recogonized as such. the misnomer of bad english is pejorative and incorrect.
If you visit the old shipping ports of England you will hear dialect very similar to the black dialect here. why? because of the atlantic slave trade, english sailors were the first english speakers the kidnaped africans heard.
The criticism of your daughter may be unfair / untrue but the core of that criticism has a historical truth; that is some black folks get it in their heads that mimicking the white population, including hating black folks, is the way to advance and respectability in the white world
this may have been a wake up call so perhaps you might take a look at how your child understands the world

A blog about genealogy and thoughts about the various roots and branches of my family tree as well as the times in which my ancestors lived.Included are the West, White,and McFarland families.WARNING:DO NOT TAKE ALL OF MY FAMILY RECORDS AS GOSPEL. ALWAYS CONFIRM YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
Thursday, August 15, 2013
ancestors. Now, this is a very good thing but the problem with that is that
I haven't gotten much work done on those ancestors for whom I don't have
much information. And the further back in time I am researching, the harder
it is to find and like the dog in the movie Up! I'm easily distracted by finding
the "shineys". Some of the families I haven't done much work on include
those that originally settled in Charlestown, Ma. before branching out to
the west and north of Boston.
Last Thursday I saw Marian Pierre-Louis' guest on that day on her Fieldstone Common Blogtalk Radio show would be Roger Thompson, the author of
From Deference to Defiance Charlestown, Massachusetts 1629-1692 and
I hoped I might learn more about my Charlestown ancestors. It was a
very interesting hour, and when Marian offered a copy of Roger's book to
the first caller, I called in with a question and won the book. It arrived
here Tuesday, and when I opened it I found it was graciously autographed
by Roger.
But that wasn't the best part.
I had run a list on RootsMagic6 of my Charlestown ancestors to check against the
names in the index but before I got that far I found three with chapters in the
Table of Contents. The first was Stephen Fosdick(whose name has always conjured
up the image of Fearless Fosdick in my mind). He was one of the first settlers of
Charlestown and he is my 11x great grandfather through his descendant Arvilla Ames
who married John Cutter West.
Another chapter concerns the family of my 10x grandfather Robert Long and his
son Zachary. I had never heard of the Three Cranes Inn before nor of its connection
with the Long family.
A third chapter contains two letters written by Arrald (Dunnington)Cole. She and her
husband Rhys Cole are my 10x grandparents as well. Both my Long and Cole descents
are through through my 2x great grandmother Florilla Dunham.
I'll be blogging more about them and what else I learn from Roger's book in future
blogposts. But if you have ancestors from Charlestown, you should get a copy for
yourself! It's available in paperback for 27.95 from the New England Historical
Genealogical Society. And if you want to hear the show with Marian and Roger,
you can download the podcast here at Fieldstone Common.

I so glad you are having fun with Roger's book. I bought all four of his books when I heard him speak a year ago. After I blogged about how valuable his books are for genealogy, I got lots of email from folks who had good luck finding ancestors, or just good information in general in his books. If he is ever back at NEHGS we should go together and hear him talk.ReplyDelete
Bill, I listened to that show on podcast and heard you win the book. I'm very glad for you, as you obviously are getting a lot out of it. I have to take a look at my genealogy program and see what early Charlestown residents I have in my ancestry. But even without ancestors in Charlestown, it sounds like this book gives a great sense of life in colonial Massachusetts.ReplyDelete
I agree it's a great book. When I received my copy a couple of month ago, I was surprised to see a chapter on my Davis ancestors. The entire book is a wonderful read.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your winning, sounds like a great resouce.
I won a book on the Fieldstone Common blogtalk radio show earlier. When I got it, I opened it up to a picture of a sailing vessel that I had in one recorded.
Looking forward to your future blog posts from this book.

Roy Oppenheim spent about one hour on the phone with The New York Times real estate reporter David Streitfeld talking about what it's like to be a foreclosure defense attorney. Although Oppenheim has been practicing real estate law including foreclosure defense since 1989 starting out on Wall Street, there is no doubt the past two years have been the busiest helping homeowners fashion their own bailout. Oppenheim's strategy includes an educational component by hosting monthly foreclosure defense workshops since October 2008.
Read Sunday's New York Times cover story Oppenheim contributed to Taking on a Second Mortgage to Pay the Foreclosure Lawyer and below is an excerpt
"Until recently, foreclosure defense would have been considered the lowest of the low — below the divorce guys, below ambulance chasers," said Mr. Oppenheim, who practices in Weston, Fla. "The idea was inconceivable that you might have legitimate defenses when your client did not pay the bank that had lent them a sum of money."

Professor Says New Congressional Map Will Hurt Chicago-Area GOP
With Illinois' new congressional map now intact, a professor of political science at the University of Illinois says Republicans from around Chicago will have the most trouble in next year's elections.
On Thursday, a 3-judge appeals panel threw out a suit filed by the GOP over a new map of congressional boundaries drawn by Democrats. Brian Gaines says the map was specifically rough on Republicans, but he said the party had to know the chances of having it thrown out were slim. The federal judges agreed that it was a blatant political move, but added that it wasn't illegal.
Gaines says Republican Congressman Tim Johnson of Urbana could have some problems in 13th district, where he's running this spring, since much if it is unfamiliar territory. But Gaines says Johnson, incumbent John Shimkus, and other downstate Republicans should not be the party's concern with March's primary approaching.
"The Republicans that lose their seats will the be Republican members in the (Chicago) suburbs who were newly elected last time, and have been drawn either together, so that after the primary only one of them will be left standing, or their residences were put into districts that were pretty tough for the general election."
But Gaines says even if the GOP wins the presidency, there's a good chance the party won't hold the 11 to 8 seat advantage it has in Illinois. As a result of the lawsuit, the filing period was pushed back to late this month. But Gaines says it's likely too late for newcomers to get involved.
"You never know if there's someone capabable of self-financing - someone sitting on a couple million dollars who's restless," he said. "But other than an extremely wealty candidate who can self-finance all the way, it's awfully late to be appearing now."
The filing period for the March 20th primary for Congress in Illinois is December 23rd through the 27th.

So there it was...taped to my bedroom wall waiting for me and my husband, right before we went to bed this past Saturday night. A card from our oldest daughter.
I couldn't help but giggle, smile, shed a tear and be a little in awe of her creating abilities when I read the card.
She would be mortified if she knew I was sharing what she wrote with my husband and myself, but it truly ignited a fire for me. (Not to mention that I'm truly thankful for what an amazing 16 year old I have!)
She made me realize how important it is that we actually share with others, a thought of encouragement, a kind word, or in short....spread joy.
I decided then and there on Saturday night, that my new challenge this year for Monday Card Madness is that we not only make the cards, but send them out. Send them to a family member, your husband or boyfriend, your child, a great friend that you haven't talked to in awhile, someone that has touched your life, an on line friend. Really the options are limitless! Just think of how such a simple action could brighten someones day! (Plus, it's always nice to get some 'happy' mail, rather than bills, right?)
So what that means for now is that we will still hold a monthly drawing for MCM participants, but rather than winning the cards that I create (since I do plan on sending them out!), we will send out some scrappy supplies that can be used on cards. :) That's probably a better deal anyway. :) Just remember to have your card linked to the blog by the 6th of February to be eligible for the monthly drawing.
I was so inspired by the design of the card that my daughter gave us that I based this weeks sketch off of it.
Today's steal, the Doodlebug Valentines Ribbon and Embellishments, were absolutely so much fun to work with. Not only was I able to create a traditional 'Valentines' card (which I will be giving to my hunny), but I was able to make a couple of 'thinking of you' cards which I will be sending out this week! And the ribbon? Well...can one ever have enough? Yeah. I didn't think so.
I would also love to put out a feeler to see what everyone thinks about participating in a card swap. Basically what it means is that each person would complete 10 cards and mail to us at ScrapbookSteals. We would then redistribute them to the participants and they would each receive 10 cards back from other creators. So you'll get back 10 cards from 10 different people for you to have on hand to send out so you can keep spreading joy in 2011! Send me an email to email@example.com if you're interested, and if there is enough interest I will organize a swap!
Have a lovely day!

text: Predicting the Herd's season as camp begins By Doug Smock August 5, 2012 Story Share HANG ONTO your Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl souvenirs for dear life, for Camp Doc III is about to commence.When Marshall begins its split-squad practices at 9:45 a.m. today, it embarks on its eighth season in Conference USA, and Holliday will begin in earnest his new role as one of the league's elder statesmen.No kidding. George O'Leary of Central Florida and Mike Price of Texas-El Paso are the co-deans in their ninth seasons. After that, you have sixth-year man David Bailiff at Rice and fifth-year man June Jones at Southern Methodist. With five new coaches on board, Holliday's tenure has rocketed to No. 5.(Pardon me for looking ahead, but Mario Cristobal is entering his sixth year at Florida International and Sonny Dykes his third at Louisiana Tech. C-USA will lose O'Leary and Jones.)We'll see how much wisdom Holliday has gained from his first two seasons on the Thundering Herd sideline. That's not a jab - to the contrary, I thought the Herd's three-win finish was a validation of his staff's efforts.Say what you will about Marshall's hold-your-nose win over Memphis, the overtime thriller against East Carolina and the ugly win over Florida International, but the Herd finished strong in all three. Does that happen in the previous regime?This MU season stands to be more interesting than preseason predictions, which are almost unanimous: Bowl-banned Central Florida wins the East, followed by Southern Mississippi, Marshall/East Carolina, blah Alabama-Birmingham and worse-than-blah Memphis. In the West, it's Houston, Tulsa, SMU and the other three.Zzzzzzzzzzz. Let's float a few predictions on the Herd, wrap them up for a few months and dust them off in December. Away we go:To go to a bowl game in consecutive years for the first time since 2002 (yikes!), the Herd's scoring average must begin with a "3." Or at least top 27 for the first time since the Bob Pruett era. And it should do so without considering the Western Carolina massacre.With his defensive roots, Holliday doesn't want to hear that. But this team has too much skill and too many questions on defense to win a bunch of 23-22 games.It says here the Herd will defeat Western Carolina, Ohio, Memphis, UAB and Houston. It will be fun watching ex-Herd QB Eddie Sullivan running the Edwards Stadium turf without a red jersey, in a morbid way. The Herd will be home underdogs against the Bobcats, but should show up angry enough to win. Memphis and UAB are ... Memphis and UAB.As for Houston, no team from Texas has won in Huntington. But more important, the Coogs are a tad overrated. They will not win the West.Hey, I respect a team with Charles Sims running behind a veteran line, but the other team is going to get the ball. And I don't care how many returning starters that defense has, they don't have Marcus McGraw and Sammy Brown among them. A few of those 73-whatever games from the last few years are going to be reversed on that bunch.The Herd will lose to West Virginia, Rice, Tulsa and UCF.In the Mountaineers, I still see Geno Smith-to-Tavon Austin, but I always point to WVU's defense vs. Marshall's offense as the mismatch du jour. The Herd's offensive line will need a few games to find its way.Supplemental prediction: With the advent of Big 12 officiating, the home fans will be startled by the referee's accent. (Remember, the Herd pioneered this migration to the Southwest. I should have scouted out Stillwater for Mountaineer fans, but didn't. Sorry about that.)Marshall will find away to boot another game in the state of Texas, losing to Rice in Conference USA's largest and most uninteresting city. I just hope to get out of there without getting rear-ended on the freeway (again).I like Tulsa to win the West. I expect Nebraska transfer Cody Green to plug himself right in at quarterback and let all those skill players continue to run wild. UCF has that habit of bouncing back after a bad season. If the coaching staff doesn't mess up the quarterback situation and gets the expected mileage out of a deep backfield, the Knights will indeed win the East.So that's 5-4 with roadies against Purdue, Southern Miss and East Carolina unaccounted for. There is the Herd's challenge, in a nutshell.With that, let the pigskins fly.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

This section of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route traverses the broad open spaces of southwest Montana, a part of the state that could easily be responsible for the nickname "Big Sky Country". It also incorporates the short, 72-mile section of the route claimed by Idaho, thirty miles of which are on a rail-trail conversion following the route of the old Oregon Short Line, which was responsible for delivering turn-of-the-century tourists to Yellowstone National Park. The trail then enters Wyoming, cutting between Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks on the little-traveled Ashton-Flagg Road. The second half of this section takes you through the wild and spectacular Teton country, and winds its way down to historic South Pass City, where thousands of Oregon Trail travelers crossed the Continental Divide.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Police in Miami Beach are looking for a man who posed as a Florida Power & Light worker as a distraction so another person could burglarize the home.
It happened in the 5300 block of Alton Road on October 12th.
According to Miami Beach Police, the fake FPL worker told a housekeeper at the home that he needed to check the power lines in the back yard.
While the housekeeper was in the back yard with the fake FPL worker, another person apparently went inside the home. When the housekeeper went back inside the house, she found a pillowcase stuffed with silverware on the floor. Police also found pry marks on a locked bedroom.
There were no other signs of forced entry.
The fake FPL worker is described as being in his early to mid 20s, standing 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighing between 130 and 135 pounds. Police said the man understood Spanish and had a tattoo on his upper left arm.
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami Beach Police at 305-673-7776 ext. 5543 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).

As NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway officials try to figure out how pieces of debris littered the grandstands following a frightening crash last Saturday, there will be another group trying to figure that out as well: Lawyers.
It is likely that lawsuits will be filed by some of the more than 30 people injured when Kyle Larson's car went airborne, smashed into the catch fence and sent debris into the crowd during the final lap of the Nationwide Series race.
MORE: Fan tweets about injuries | 911 call | Crash probe | Fans shocked | Crash video
A tire, with suspension pieces attached, appeared to fly through the catch fence as Larson hit an area where the fence can be removed so fans and officials can walk from the grandstands across the track and to the infield before and after the race.
As of Thursday, two fans remained hospitalized at Halifax Health. Both were stable.
"High-profile cases such as this, there will be lawsuits filed," said William Bray, a Charlotte sports attorney who also writes articles about legal issues in motorsports.
"That is generally a rule of thumb — they will get filed but they will get settled at some point (before trial)."
The lawsuits will come down to a few key elements:
• Whether the waiver on the back of tickets that releases the track and NASCAR of liability is enforceable.
• Whether the fans sitting behind the fence should have known that debris such as a tire could hit them by possibly going through the fence.
• Whether the fence was constructed properly.
• Whether NASCAR conducted its race inspections and the race itself properly.
Claims would be covered by the track's insurance.
The incident is not unprecedented. Fifty lawsuits were filed in 1999 after a tire sailed over the catch fence during an IndyCar race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, killing three spectators.
Former CMS president H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler told ESPN.com that the track settled for "somewhere between $10 [million] and $15 million" before the cases went to trial.
In May 2006, Robert Kaine was hit by a flying shock at Charlotte as he sat approximately 20 rows up in the area coming out of Turn 4 during a Nationwide Series race. Kaine later sued and the case was settled before going to trial. Kaine's lawsuit alleged that the track's fencing was not high enough to prevent such large parts from entering the stands, that the fencing wasn't sufficiently inspected or tested and that the track did not adequately warn spectators of potential danger.
NASCAR requires the tracks to assume all responsibility in these instances. Dover International Speedway's 2013 sanction agreement, which it must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, requires the track to have $50 million in insurance. While other tracks don't release their sanction agreements, they typically are the same from track to track.
The NASCAR rulebook tells the competitors and tracks that it is not liable for the safety of the event, although the language is somewhat contradictory to the role of its own research and development center.
"NASCAR works with Competitors, Promoters, car manufacturers and outside independent experts to facilitate, where and when appropriate, the exchange of useful information regarding safety designs, products, practices and procedures," the rulebook states.
"When appropriate, it will also institute rules or procedures relating to safety. NASCAR, however, is not and does not hold itself out as an expert in safety standards, designs, products, practices or procedure, nor is NASCAR a standards organization or a designer, manufacturer or seller of safety-related products, facility designs or racecar designs."
The first step in bringing a lawsuit would be for fans to overcome the waiver on the back of the ticket.
The waiver on the ticket says: "The Holder of this ticket expressly assumes all risk incident to the event. … and agrees that all participants, sanctioning bodies, and all employees, agents, officers, and directors of Daytona International Speedway, its affiliates and subsidiaries are hearby released from any and all claims arising from the event, including claims of negligence."
Those waivers are increasingly being held up in court, Bray said.
"A ticket to one of these events is like a contract — and its provisions limiting liability are generally enforceable," Paul Huck, an adjunct professor at the University of Miami School of Law, told The Associated Press.
"We enter into these types of contracts on a regular basis, and we often don't give it a second thought that we may be limiting or even giving up certain legal rights when we do so."
Stetson University law professor Tim Kaye, an expert in personal injury law, said that he did not expect that waiver to hold up if there was negligence. He said it would be like allowing a doctor to do whatever the doctor wants in surgery without being liable for doing something negligent.
"What you're saying is the speedway can just do whatever they like and however many people end up dying, there is nothing much you can do about it," Kaye said.
"If that's the case, then why do they need an insurance policy? Clearly, they have an insurance policy because they think they might need it."
One of the biggest topics could be the strength of the fencing in the area around the crossover gate.
"Did the speedway take reasonable steps to keep the spectators safe?" Kaye said. "You would look at what sort of accidents happened in the past and how far the debris had gone and what the track had in place to stop the cars and the debris.
"You wouldn't look at Daytona itself. You would look at other similar tracks. … If the particular track did what was normal, that's normally considered reasonable."
Video shows that a tire went through the fence.
"If the tire went through the fence, I see that as a tremendous problem for NASCAR and for Daytona because that's a lot different than a tire exceeding the height of the fence," Bray said.
"I don't think a jury would find that anyone assumes the risk of a tire somehow puncturing that catch fence. To me, that would have to always be one of the first things that the designers and engineers of those catch fences would look at when designing them."
NASCAR and DIS have an obligation to preserve pieces of the catch fence and the car so that it can be used as evidence to be studied by those suing them, Bray said, or else it could be used against them.
It will be up to NASCAR and DIS whether attorneys and experts retained by those injured would have access to the fence pieces or the car or any reports the track has on fencing until a lawsuit is filed. If they don't allow access, those injured might file a lawsuit just so they can have access to documents that could show negligence, Bray said.
"We're in the very, very preliminary stage of our investigation," said Matt Morgan, who has been hired by three of the injured fans. "Once we dive into this a little deeper, we'll be able to apportion an amount of fault to whatever particular entity is to blame.
"Ultimately there is going to be some finger-pointing going on and I believe there is going to be an issue surrounding the fence and whether the fence was capable of restraining a NASCAR car traveling at the speed that they travel."
Florida law has a four-year statute of limitations on such claims, Morgan said.
While some fans would not like to bring lawsuits, they can spur action by the tracks to improve fencing, Bray said.
"These accidents inevitably yield litigation and the litigation is typically what yields better safety measures for the tracks, as tragic as it is," Bray said.
"It's a dangerous sport. And I don't know that it ever can be made completely safe."

McCook rally buries Swede softball squad
A huge sixth inning powered McCook to a 9-2 win over Gothenburg in softball action Thursday.
"We played good softball for five and a half innings," Swede coach Roger Neujahr said. "I'm not sure what happened after that.
"We played good softball against a good team and then just fell apart in the last half inning."
Gothenburg owned a lead for one inning after scoring a solo run in the first. Roni Putnam walked, advanced on a sacrifice and came home on Karen Franzen's single to right field.
That was it for the Swedes until they plated another single run in the fifth frame. Payton Prall led off with a single before coming home on a two-out single by KaTrina Winter.
McCook, now 9-2 on the year, scored two runs in the second inning and gained a 3-1 lead after three. The Swedes were within striking distance going into the bottom of the sixth. The Bison cut loose for five hits, including a bases-loaded double, and five runs.
Gothenburg needed a big rally in the seventh but gained just a single hit.
Amanda Barkmeier went the distance on the mound for the Swedes. Franzen paced the hitting attack with two singles.
