Bringin' the Noise: A pair of aces
Nearly two decades ago Barry Bonds'(notes) frame resembled Olive Oyl, Randy Johnson's(notes) golden mullet had yet to unlock its mystical powers and Sid Bream's well-groomed lady tickler was driving road beef wild.
That same year, 1990, also marked a tipping point in Atlanta Braves history.
The perennial laughing stock of the NL West in the late 80s, Bobby Cox's club was slowly building a dynasty one lethal arm at a time. Two homegrown southpaws, Tom Glavine(notes) and Steve Avery, along with acquired hands John Smoltz(notes), Pete Smith and later Greg Maddux(notes), were entrusted to resurrect an organization wrought by futility.
Although Glavine, a freckle-faced hockey phenom from Massachusetts, was considered a marquee prospect, the hype surrounding him paled in comparison to Avery. The third overall pick in the '88 amateur draft was the poster boy of the franchise's future. Even before his first big league pitch, his cardboard likeness created mass hysteria among adult and prepubescent card sharks (the Noise included) in hobby shops across the nation.
Armored glove, brass knuckles, Southern League championship ring -- no matter what Medlen clenches, his grade school youthfulness and scrawny Lincecum-like build aren't intimidating. But his stellar 10.65 K/9 at Triple-A Gwinnett certainly is.
Unfortunately, Avery's meteoric rise was short-lived. After going 47-25 with a marvelous 3.17 ERA and 1.19 WHIP from '91-93, his career path buckled. Spurred by a heavy early workload (222 IP/year), the then 24-year-old was plagued by injuries and ineffectiveness, forever dimming his once lucid star.
However, his under-publicized teammate, Glavine, went on to earn historic accolades in his 23-year career, including 10 All-Star appearances, two Cy Young awards, a World Series MVP and 300-plus career victories.
Flash forward 19 years …
The 2009 Braves, similar to the Year of the Ice (Vanilla), are blessed with two electric pitching prospects destined to propel them into the next decade – Tommy Hanson(notes) and Kris Medlen(notes).
Hanson, like Avery before him, is the more ballyhooed prospect. His blazing 92-95 mph fastball, devastating off-speed junk (12-to-6 curve, hard slider, change) and remarkable Triple-A numbers (47.2 IP, 1.70 ERA, 12.20 K/9, 2.67 BB/9) have caused many in the fantasy community to erotically combust. His "Eastbound and Down" appearance has generated a similar response from female trailer park citizens.
Unsurprisingly, the shadow cast by the 6-foot-6 flamethrower has disguised the dynamite contributions of the 5-foot-10 Medlen, both figuratively and physically. The miniature magician, ranked as the ninth-best prospect in the organization by Baseball America, has been equally dominant at Gwinnett. Don't let those pinchable cheeks fool you. Equipped with a sharp-moving 92-94 mph fastball, filthy curve, change and slider, the 23-year-old has compiled spectacular numbers. In 37.2 innings, he's posted a 1.19 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 2.42 BB/9 and 10.65 K/9. His bulldog demeanor, pinpoint control and ability to coax favorable contact (44.3 GB%) are extraordinary qualities. Comparatively, he's a higher strikeout version of Kevin Slowey(notes). Cox has marveled at the kid's general make-up and ability to throw strikes:
"He's throwing great. He's got three-plus pitches, and he's quick as a cat. I think he's picked off five guys, which is hard to do from the right-hander's side."
With the ancient Glavine still holding on at 43, Medlen, who makes his major league debut Thursday against Colorado, will be given a trial run until the future HOFer fully recuperates in the minors. If he's effective, the versatile rookie could remain with the club in a relief role until Glavine eventually succumbs to aging. Remember, he accumulated an insane 25:1 K:BB as a reliever in the Arizona Fall League last year and was worked out of the pen in spring training. It's not unfathomable to think he could become the third closing option behind Mike Gonzalez(notes) and Rafael Soriano(notes).
Expected to clear waivers in most Y! leagues today (May 21), he's someone worth chasing in deeper mixed (14-teams) and NL-only formats. Of course, given the uncertainty of his rotation tenure, you're not dropping proven talent for his services.
The enormous Avery-like expectations for Hanson are completely warranted. He's a rare treasure with gigantic upside. But as we've learned from the past, the masked Medlen just might reveal himself to be Atlanta's true future ace.
Fearless Forecast: 98 IP, 5 W, 4.28 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 86 K
Here are this week's flames, lames and stars of video games:
|Fantasy Flames
|Gary Sheffield(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Buy (14-team mixed, NL-only)
|Lowdown: Even at a crusty 40-years-ancient, Sheffield can still seriously harm an opposing pitcher with one flick of the wrist. No longer the monster masher of the past, the 500-homer member has dialed down the power in an attempt to become a more consistent, productive hitter. Even he admits, "numbers aren't my thing anymore." But thrust into an expanded role with Carlos Delgado(notes) sidelined for the next several weeks, the Mets' newest cleanup hitter has delivered plus production. Since May 13, he's raised his BA nearly 60 points, compiling four multi-hit games. Homers will be a premium, but given his sharp eye (17.4 BB%) and career best 88.4 contact percentage, appreciable BA, RBI and runs yields are expected.
Fearless Forecast (Rest of season): 335 at-bats, .282 BA, 8 HR, 52 RBI, 56 R, 2 SB
|Cristian Guzman(notes)
|Market Value: Strong BA/R Buy (12-team mixed, NL-only)
|Lowdown: As noted by the Noise's esteemed colleague Andy "Grizzly" Behrens on Wednesday, the Nats shortstop is the king of impatience (2 BB in last 174 at-bats). Heck, only David Ortiz(notes) homers, Kerry Wood(notes) saves and Mets fan commode dives are rarer occurrences than Guzman walks. Though leadoff hitters are encouraged to work counts, Manny Acta isn't concerned with his table-setter's aggressive tactics. Based on Guzman's returns, there's no reason to worry. Hitting a ridiculous .377 on the year, he's collected 17 multi-hit games and is on pace to exceed the century mark in runs. His average will likely settle around .320 by year's end and he's stowed the running shoes, but the 31-year-old will undoubtedly be one of the most undervalued MI in virtual baseball.
Fearless Forecast: 330 at-bats, .310 BA, 3 HR, 31 RBI, 68 R, 3 SB
|Ben Zobrist(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Buy (12-team mixed, AL-only)
|Lowdown: Botching lineup cards and not playing the Zorilla everyday suggest Joe Maddon needs to wipe the fog off his glasses. It's mind-boggling an ultra-versatile weapon with blossoming power and a smooth glove hasn't earned daily time, especially in right over Gabe Gross(notes). However, with Pat Burrell(notes) disabled, Zobrist should finally take the field routinely. Stretching back to last season, the switch hitter has tallied a homer once in every 15.1 at-bats. Because of his passive-aggressive approach and favorable 0.84 GB/FB ratio, his sudden transformation from ground-ball weakling to long-ball warrior isn't an anomaly. With three appearances at second and one at third, he'll likely gain additional eligibility by midseason, catapulting his value. Obtuse commenters need to come to their senses: Zobrist is for real.
Fearless Forecast: 273 at-bats, .272 BA, 14 HR, 54 RBI, 46 R, 8 SB
|Gerardo Parra(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Buy (14-team mixed, NL-only)
|Lowdown: The Rico Suave of the desert has transitioned smoothly from the minors. Seeing regular playing time with Conor Jackson(notes) shelved, the 22-year-old has smacked nine hits, three for extra bases, and driven in seven in his first 28 at-bats, all from the two spot. A strong contact hitter with marginal pop and plus wheels, the rookie compiled a .361 BA with three homers, 12 RBI and seven steals in 108 at-bats at Double-A Mobile prior to his promotion. Felipe Lopez(notes) and Miguel Montero(notes) have also raved about his fearless attitude and intense focus. A.J. Hinch believes he's "talented enough" to hold down a regular job, which suggests Jackson could be shifted back to first or the slumping Chris Young shipped to the minors to keep Parra's bat in the lineup. Owners with depleted outfields should seriously contemplate adding the widely available youngster.
Fearless Forecast: 245 at-bats, .288 BA, 3 HR, 46 RBI, 57 R, 12 SB
|Alcides Escobar(notes)
|Market Value: Prospect Watch (14-team mixed), Strong Buy (NL-only)
|Lowdown: Rickie Weeks'(notes) season-ending wrist injury could eventually propel Escobar to the next level. The highly-touted prospect, who Baseball America ranked tops among shortstops, showcases an identical profile to the Rangers' Elvis Andrus(notes). In 157 at-bats with the Nashville Sounds, he's posted a respectable .273-2-12-29-18 line. His 6.1 BB% this season indicates patience isn't one of his strong suits, but his blazing speed and defensive wizardry are qualities that will surely earn him a promotion by midseason. If the undynamic duo of Craig Counsell(notes) and Casey McGehee(notes) flounder, J.J. Hardy(notes) or Bill Hall(notes) could be shifted to second to pave the way for Escobar. It's also possible the 22-year-old, who is already experimenting with action at the four, could fill the void. If he's recalled and earns regular at-bats, he could provide a sizable steals boost for MI deprived owners in deep mixed leagues.
Fearless Forecast: 188 at-bats, .270 BA, 2 HR, 27 RBI, 31 R, 15 SB
|Jorge De La Rosa(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Buy (12-team mixed, NL-only)
|Lowdown: Prior to Wednesday's implosion versus Atlanta, El Conquistador conquered NL opponents in his previous two starts. Sipping from the Fountain of Truth, the Rockies lefty racked 24 strikeouts in 15 innings. Excluding the drubbing by the Braves, he's posted a 2.76 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8.46 K/9 and 3.83 BB/9 in 101.1 innings since August 1 of '08. Per Baseball Monster, that output ranked just ahead of rotation mainstays Cliff Lee(notes) and Rich Harden(notes). De La Rosa's improved command, groundball-coaxing skills (1.11 GB/FB), increased reliance on his fastball and change and magnified concentration explain his emergence. Colorado pitchers, especially winless ones, typically frighten fantasy managers, but De La Rosa is no Denny Neagle. Occasional sidetracks will occur, but the widely available lefty should be more than serviceable.
Fearless Forecast: 146.1 IP, 7 W, 3.93 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 140 K
|Matt Harrison(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Buy (12-team mixed, AL-only)
|Lowdown: Mistakenly described as "terribly vanilla" by the Noise in early March, Harrison has converted many doubters. Since April 27 he's notched four wins and posted a 3.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and marvelous 21:4 K:BB in 35 innings. According to Baseball Monster, that's the 10th-most valuable yield among starters in mixed leagues. The teaming of Taylor Teagarden(notes) has done wonders for Harrison's confidence and command. If he can continue to induce abundant groundballs (1.40 GB/FB) and dodge the long ball, double-digit wins and a sub 4.00 ERA are attainable. Being a contact pitcher, his strikeout totals will be unexciting, but he should be a sound fifth starter in 12-team and deeper mixed leagues.
Fearless Forecast: 131 IP, 8 W, 4.21 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 72 K
|Josh Outman(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Buy (14-team mixed, AL-only)
|Lowdown: One of the previously unknown products shipped from Philadelphia to Oakland in the Joe Blanton(notes) deal, the hard-throwing Outman has quickly developed into a fantasy force. Equipped with a 93-96 mph fastball that occasionally touches 97, a plus slider, change and curve, the southpaw has confounded hitters. Since May 1, he's totaled a sparkling 2.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 8.14 K/9 and 2.85 BB/9. His air-shot heavy 0.74 GB/FB ratio and 1.38 HR/9 rate are unattractive numbers, but pitching half his games in the cavernous Coliseum should limit the damage. Run support will be an ongoing issue, but his valuable K dividend alone makes Outman ownable in deeper mixed leagues.
Fearless Forecast: 127 IP, 6 W, 4.34 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 119 K
|Fantasy Lames
|Andre Ethier(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Buy (all leagues)
|Lowdown: No one has missed Manny's Marley-like locks more than Ethier. Since Ramirez's departure, the lefty swinger has failed to record a multi-hit game, going 6-for-53 (.113 BA) with zero homers and three RBIs. More alarming, according to his uncharacteristic 0.80 GB/FB ratio and 13.3 infield fly-ball percentage, he's popping up weakly too often. But despite the massive downslide and unfriendly peripherals, the slumping outfielder is worth purchasing at a discounted rate. Joe Torre agrees. Simply put: Ethier is too good a hitter for a month-plus slump to endure. His growing patience and solid contact numbers (85.7 CT%) are identifiable with a .300, not a .250, hitter. He'll rebound soon.
Fearless Forecast: 375 at-bats, .291 BA, 14 HR, 61 RBI, 63 R, 3 SB
|Jermaine Dye(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Buy (all leagues)
|Lowdown: Some fantasy pundits would lead you to believe Dye's slowly-eroding superficial stats are a sign he's finally succumbing to Father Time. But, his peripherals profile paints a different picture. Yes, he's striking out at a more prolific rate ('08 K%: 17.6, '09: 25.2), but his batted ball and contact resume is nearly identical to previous South Side campaigns. Mired in a 7-for-36 nosedive (.194 BA), his BA has plummeted 20 points. Frustrated by the downturn, the normally docile Dye has even expressed his emotions outwardly. Still, the 35-year-old, who hit .328 with 16 homers and 40 RBI in June/July last season, is expected to reverse course rapidly. With two dingers and five RBIs in his past two games, your opportunity to buy low is fading.
Fearless Forecast: 420 at-bats, .285 BA, 22 HR, 67 RBI, 64 R, 2 SB
|Hank Blalock(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Sell (all leagues)
|Lowdown: Hank the Bank is on the verge of foreclosure. Immersed in a 12-for-60 swoon, the brittle corner infielder has drastically dropped off after a notable April. Pressing at the dish, he's been overly trigger happy, indicative in his unsightly 27:5 K:BB split. He's also suffered from a severe case of the dips, apparent in his 21.4 infield fly-ball percentage. Logging at-bats in the 4-5 spot in one of the AL's most feared lineups is conducive for top-flight power totals. But given his fragile past, he can only deceive the injury imp for so long. Elite prospect Justin Smoak, who is tearing it up at Double-A Frisco (.338 BA, 6 HR, 24 RBI), would likely earn a promotion if Blalock is traded or sidelined for an extended period of time. Traded this week for Juan Pierre(notes), Adam Wainwright(notes) and Aaron Harang(notes) in one-for-one Plus league deals, he's someone to advertise to a homer-strapped owner before an inevitable DL stint occurs.
Fearless Forecast: 278 at-bats, .260 BA, 12 HR, 44 RBI, 39 R, 0 SB
|Jose Lopez(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Sell (12-team mixed, AL-only)
|Lowdown: Lopez, a popular mid-round sleeper selection back in March, is still hibernating. Due to his silent bat and questionable defense, rumors have begun to circulate the two-bagger could be benched. Currently wallowing in a 15-for-77 slide, he's homered just once and driven in a measly six runs since May 1. Last season, Lopez was one of fantasy's most consistent contributors, hitting .300 and exceeding 14 RBIs and 13 runs in four-of-six months. But his stark rise in fly balls ('08 FB%: 35.6, '09: 45.9) and inside swing percentage ('08: 64.0, '09: 68.9) proves he's become more pull conscious. Until he relaxes at the dish, drives pitches to the opposite field and flashes serviceable leather, he'll continue to be a toxic asset. Maybe odd numbered years are unlucky for Lopez.
Fearless Forecast: 423 at-bats, .271 BA, 9 HR, 47 RBI, 48 R, 3 SB
|Nick Swisher(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Sell (all leagues)
|Lowdown: The fun-loving Belushi of the Bronx has suddenly become laughable. Swisher, perplexingly dreadful in the jet stream-aided confines of Yankee Stadium (.127 BA, 1 HR, 2 RBI), has gone from must-start to road-only material. Further damaging his value, he's registered just six hits in his past 51 at-bats, cutting his batting average from .312 to .234. He's also tallied the highest strikeout percentage of any qualifying hitter this month (42.7 K%). Obviously, any level-headed owner knew he couldn't maintain a BA above .280, but the massive power outage is worrisome. With the mirror-kisser, A-Rod, back in the mix, Swisher should be able to recover. But if his home woes extend, don't be surprised if Xavier Nady(notes) wrests away at-bats once he returns from injury in roughly 10-14 days.
Fearless Forecast: 350 at-bats, .252 BA, 19 HR, 59 RBI, 64 R, 2 SB
|A.J. Burnett(notes)
|Market Value: Moderate Sell (all leagues)
|Lowdown: Burnett's prankster playfulness might be acceptable amongst his peers, but his ghastly 5.02 ERA is a joke to fantasy owners. The $82.5 million hurler might feel more comfortable, but his insipid walks rate tells a different tale. In his past six outings, he's notched just three quality starts, surrendering a horrendous 5.42 walks per nine. When matched with his unspectacular 1.02 GB/FB and dwindling K/9 ('08: 9.39, '09: 7.44), his noxious amount of free passes is ERA poison. Burnett, swapped for Trevor Hoffman(notes), Carlos Quentin(notes) and Chris Carpenter(notes) this past week in Y! Plus league one-for-one deals, is an overrated brand name worth dishing.
Fearless Forecast: 137 IP, 9 W, 4.76 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 124 K
|Brian Bannister(notes)
|Market Value: Strong Sell (all leagues)
|Lowdown: One of the game's more cerebral pitchers, Bannister, a well-known sabermetrics embracer, is a contact pitcher who has fooled owners with smoke and mirrors. Through six starts, he's yielded more than three runs just once, totaling four wins and a dynamite 2.75 ERA. The widely-owned hurler has wooed many in fantasyland by attracting more grounders ('08 GB%: 37.5, '09: 44.2) and keeping the ball in the park (0.50 HR/9). But without overpowering stuff, his increased fastball reliance will eventually come back to bite him. Field Independent Pitching forecasts (4.00 projected ERA) support this claim. Bannister won't draw a dependable bat in a one-for-one swap, but his quality ERA, WHIP and wins numbers labels him a prime deal sweetener.
Fearless Forecast: 120 IP, 7 W, 4.46 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 64 K
|Ricky Romero(notes)
|Market Value: Hold (AL-only, very deep mixed)
|Lowdown: Romanticized by the Noise four weeks ago, Romero, who suffered a crippling oblique injury in mid-April, is now on the outside looking in. After skyrocketing his ownership numbers with three dazzling early season starts (2 W, 1.71 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 1.41 GB/FB), the former first rounder is spoiling in Las Vegas due to the shockingly fruitful efforts of Scott Richmond(notes), Brian Tallet(notes) and Robert Ray(notes). The odds of the Toronto trio holding their own over a prolonged time period seem long. However, Romero must perform adequately in the minors to earn another shot. On May 18, his first start since being activated from the DL, he conceded four earned runs in five innings. Keep him stashed in Grand Canyon-deep leagues, but don't be surprised if he's trapped in Triple-A through the All-Star break.
Fearless Forecast: 77 IP, 5 W, 3.88 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 49 K
*All Fearless Forecasts are projected numbers from today forward
To remind colleagues Jeff Passan and Mark Pesavento of the $50 donation they'll be contributing to the Noise's import beer fund, Nelson Cruz's(notes) long-ball tally will be noted each week. Remember, the original bet was over/under 25 homers.
Caribbean Cruz connections since last week: 1 (Umm, Nelson, the Noise is thirsty for a beverage that is more than "triple hops brewed." Pick up the pace.)
Season total: 8
Moonshots to the money: 18
Pace: 33

Second only to the great whites in reputation, tigers are impressive sharks
that can reach well over five metres (16ft) long. Diving with them is a
remarkable experience, but not for the faint-hearted or the beginner. Baited
dives are possible in South Africa at the Protea Banks south of Durban, or
from a live-aboard dive boat sailing to the Bahamas with Jim Abernethy, an
expert on sharks.
Like large land predators, the tiger sharks generally exhibit specific
behaviour that allows observers to approach them with reasonable safety –
but, as on safaris in Africa, there have been incidents.

Dawson St restaurant lands prestigious Michelin star
A restaurant in the capital has been awarded the prestigious Michelin Star for the first time.
The Greenhouse restaurant on Dublin's Dawson Street was given the coveted status along with the Loam restaurant in Galway, while seven Irish establishments retained their status from previous years.
The Greenhouse's Finnish head chef Mikael Viljanen is one of the most highly-regarded in Ireland.
Eamon O'Reilly, the owner of the Dublin establishment expressed his delight at the restaurant receiving its first Michelin star.
"We're absolutely chuffed to get the news. I'm delighted for the staff here, I'm also delighted for Mikael. He cooks at a different level.
"We get on really well, we've been working together for around four years and long may it continue," Mr O'Reilly said.
"It's absolutely brilliant and the support we've received has been incredible," he added.
Mr O'Reilly praised his "dedicated and passionate" staff for their hard work over the few years.
Enda McEvoy, head chef and owner of Loam restaurant in Galway revealed that the award has come as a shock, considering the restaurant has only been open since 2014.
"Our whole vision for this place was to just make exciting food, get a clientele in the door and run a successful business," said McEvoy.
"I think what we do is up to that standard but I wasn't expecting this.
"We still have a service tonight so it might be Saturday before we celebrate.
"I think it means things just get harder from here," he said.

Chores & incentives(12 Posts)
Hi, I'm about to become a single mum and to go back to work full time. Keen to get DD, 14 and DS, 11 a bit more involved in the housework, partly to share the load and partly to get them more independent. What tasks do your teens and preteens do, and what incentives do you give back? I was thinking having them each choose a meal each week that they cook (both are keen on cooking) and maybe a bag of other tasks (e.g. like clean bathroom) that they pick one of each week.
all mine 14,14 and 16, own rooms clean and tidied once per week, set and clear table
help with laundry, empty and load dishwasher, some cooking.
no grumbling about turns or fairness.
for extra reward ( might jsu be a lift to cinema or into town) gardening, hoovering.
i never pay for chores. but we have a cleaner so i pay her and we all benefit
No I don't pay for regular chores either, I consider it part of living as a family.
DS17 and 15 here. Regular jobs ; change their own beds once a week, lay and clear table, unload dishwasher, clean bathroom, ironing, grass cutting and any heavy lifting I need. They prepare there own lunches at weekends and in holidays. DS2 bakes sometimes.
I will pay for extras such as fence painting /garage clearing.
My DD16 walks the dog, cleans her room and hoovers upstairs. She does does some cooking/baking too. She is working 4 days a week at the moment so that is enough for me.
My dc have always had to help about the house from being toddlers, no incentives required apart from roof over their head
Toddlers - helping to tidy toys.
Infants - toys, clothes in basket, clothes in drawers.
juniors - washing up, tidying up, vacuum, dust, polish
Seniors - washing cars, ironing, cooking, cleaning, lawn mowing, basic DIY.
At 16, completely self sufficient and ready to leave home, if money was no object.
Dd12 and Ds13 load and unload dishwasher, set table, walk dog. They're supposed to keep rooms clean and tidy as well but that's not going so well especially Ds room! Oh and I always make them bring down their laundry and then I leave their clean laundry outside their door to put away. I'm am definitely not going in to pick up dirty stuff off the floor! Incentives wise I don't pay them but they get an allowance, lifts everywhere, friends over all the time so they don't do too badly!
I have a 12 and 13 yo.
Saturday morning they have to tidy, Hoover and dust their bedrooms. Rest of the week it can be a tip if that's what they want. I don't give them their allowance until this has been done.
They both do their own laundry.
They walk the dog a couple of times a week.
They empty the dishwasher / kitchen bin if asked.
During term time they make their own packed lunches.
Now the school holidays are here I'm going to get them to cook one night a week each.
Other jobs that they can and will do for extra money throughout the year are lawn mowing, car washing, washing down paintwork, sweeping up leaves, weeding.
They also nip to the shop if we run out of bread or milk.
Great! Thank you all so much, really helpful.
DD, 17: Hoover daily, own laundry, own ironing, cook two days' meals, help wash up, bins, wash car.
Incentive: food, not being embarrassed by DF wearing unwholesome shorts or DM singing. If chores missed for too long change router password/put on baby video with friends present.
DSes 18 and 13. Own rooms, own washing, own ironing if any. Take turns to lay and clear table, load and unload dishwasher. They both make their own breakfasts and lunches. DS1 cooks a family meal once a week; DS2 does it occasionally. They're both expected to do other jobs (clean bathroom, run vac round, pop to shop, etc.) if I ask, but grumble.
I did pay DS1 for housework for a year or so when he was about 14. He ran through the house in about 90 mins for a fiver. It was a source of constant agro tho (I resented paying him, he resented doing it), so the current arrangement suits us better.
I notice you've got a massive change of circumstances, Thresh. I hope these are positive for you. It might be harder to get your DCs to do things if they haven't had to before. If so, it might be worth introducing housework alongside some more positive changes, so it doesn't feel like your new family set-up just brings them more work and grief. I vividly remember DS1 saying to me resentfully, when I was explaining that I needed his help with housework, "It's not MY fault you haven't got a husband to do it!" So, being able to say "OK, there are a few more chores, but there's also pizza and a film on Friday and an extra £3 on Saturday!" might really help.
Mine are now 17, 14, and 11, but have been doing these for 2-3 yrs.
Each take a turn to cook one evening meal a week (they quite like this and sometimes volunteer to do more, as they realise the cook gets to choose what is served )
Whoever isn't cooking, between them have to unload the dishwasher, lay the table, get everyone a drink.
Everyone has to chip in to clearing away / loading the dishwasher.
If they want anything ironed, that's up to them.
If they want their rooms tidy, that's up to them.
Mine have always had to chip in to help though - might be a bit of an uphill project if this is all new to them.
Mine are FAR better if they can see "it's fair"... If I ask one of them to do something, it's mainly about not wanting to do any more than the others, which is how the meals works so well - it's all clear that it's equal.
Mine are 10 and 12 (so proto-teens). We have used the start of the holidays and the unexpected absence of our cleaner as a set-up for more formal chores. Each of them needs to:
- Make bed
- Open curtains (why do children never do this but live in a semi-permanent gloom)
- Make and clear away their own breakfast
Then they take it in turns each day to do the 'laundry chore' (take down dry clothes, fold, put on the right person's bed, hang up wet washing from the machine) or 'kitchen chore' (unload dishwasher, reload with breakfast things, empty draining rack, wipe down surfaces). One of them clears up after lunch, the other one after tea.
We're cheating at the moment because we're both out at work and the lovely student who is looking after them is the 'chore enforcer'.
No payment, just no screen time (includes phones, iPods, iPads etc.) the next day if they are not done.
It doesn't seem to be too much to ask them to do in the holidays, although in term time I will probably leave the kitchen chore and laundry chore to weekends only.

If Only I Could Tell My Grandmother the Rest of the StoryWriting personal journals and histories help to conserve family traditions. I recall sitting at the knee of my grandmother asking questions about the relatives. The stories all seemed so mundane, yet as I recollect it now, she was imparting a treasure of wisdom and pride onto me. How I wish my grandmother were around now, so that I could update her on my discoveries. In those days, the stories were those passed down to her how during the Civil War the old planter who sent all his sons to war, hid from the yankees when they came around to take the farm animals and other valuables. In those days, families lost everything and because agriculture virtually ceased, communities lost the ability to survive. Through the eyes of my grandmother, her grandparents left the old plantation and came to Atlanta, just to get work. None of the sons returned from the war as well the husband of one daughter. I searched the records extensively to locate what battle killed him, and where he was during his last muster. After the war, this daughter married a fellow from Kentucky who tried to manage a plantation and store without farm laborers. The freed slaves were entitled to be paid, yet refused to work. So, the plantation fell into disrepair with my grandmother visiting it during the summer as a child. When I came along, the only evidence of a house was a pile of bricks in a field. Eventually, the daughter's husband died in the Soldier's Home in Kentucky, while the others suffered whooping cough, consumption, measles and other killing diseases of that era. But I have other stories... those of the great Revolutionary War where America earned its independence from Great Britain. And before that, the immigration stories and struggles of the Old World. And the cause and effects of marriages into royalty and noble families, and how many times the first colonists crossed the ocean to return to England for a wife to replace the first two who had died or were massacred by Indians. There are so many things that I would like to share. But most of all I wish that my grandmother had kept a personal journal concerning family members and local events; of individual struggle and accomplishment; nicknames; the color of eyes and shades of hair and much more.
Wealthiest Planter in Muscogee CountyReverend Charles F. Fisher was one of the wealthiest planters in Muscogee County. His stately plantation was located on the Chattahoochee River 17-1/2 miles from Columbus, Georgia. Unfortunately, it was burned down by order of the local authorities during an epidemic of smallpox. The first record of his owning the land was in 1838. Fisher first came to Washington County where he was listed on the 1820 Census.

The Lessons of Life Should Not be IgnoredWe are taught many subjects as we walk the path through life. Some are disheartening, sad and traumatic. Then there are those which deliver more wisdom to our poorly distressed souls. Sometimes it seems as though we are "all alone" in our adventure; however, many others have suffered trials. Although their experiences may have been different than ours, our ancestors also walked that lonely path, seeking answers. Today, as we imagine the road upon which they walked, we think of such experiences as "history." Yet, the wars they fought, the vessels which brought them to America, their struggles to survive, and religious beliefs were all a force which we, too, deal with in our time span. In other words, we are all dealt a hand to play. There are ample stories of the past waiting to be discovered. Little children love to hear family stories because it helps to assure them of their own existence. My ancestor hid in a tree when the yankee patrol came around to seize the domestic animals and other valuables. How do I think that he felt when the patrol stopped under the tree in which he was hiding and he heard the ticking of his gold pocket watch hanging from its fob? I think that his heart pounded fiercely and that he was frightened of being discovered and removed to a prison camp. We can put ourselves in "their" shows for a moment and comprehend the struggle. Perhaps this information will ease our fearful nature, and prompt us to remember that the past is riddled with hardships, much of which was chosen to bring about a better life; freedom! We ourselves did not fight the battle for freedom from Great Britain, but those who did, paid the price. Let us not forget them, and pass along the stories on to our children! So they will remember.

Cameron: 'You do not weaken the feds by defaulting to them, you make them stronger'
Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, disclosed under Senate Rule 39 that he makes his living as an insurance agent. He referred to Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, saying Siddoway "has great passion when he talks about wolves. I have a similar passion when it comes to talking about insurance." Said Cameron, "There's an analogy that says when it comes to breakfast, a chicken is dedicated, a pig is fully committed. I am the pig in this case."
Cameron noted that he's co-chaired the Legislature's joint Health Care Task Force, and over the years, that panel has worked hard to lower health insurance costs in Idaho through an array of initiatives. "We have been successful," he said. "We have one of the lowest costs in the nation. … That didn't happen by accident. … It happened by good leadership, good planning and good decisions by this body."
Cameron said he opposed the national health care reform law, like most Idaho lawmakers, and has sympathy for the views of opponents of SB 1042. But he said Idaho really has only two choices: A state exchange, or a federal one. One colleague, he said, told him of a third choice: "He said rebellion. That's not a choice. That's not a choice for us."
Cameron called it "really hard to swallow" the idea that somehow insurance agents "don't know what they're talking about here." He said, "All of the insurance industry, all of the small business people that I talk to, all of the individuals, a number of them are saying, 'We want a state-based exchange. We trust the state better. We want to deal with the state.' It's clear, it's evident, that by refusing to act we default to the federal government."
He said, "We have the lowest rates in the nation, and the most at risk should we go to a federal exchange. ... There is no doubt … that it will cost Idaho consumers less under a state insurance exchange than it will under a federal exchange."
"You do not weaken the federal government by defaulting to them," Cameron said. "You do not weaken the federal government by abandoning the field of battle. ... You make them stronger."

Internet of Things (IoT)
Gain insight, optimize traffic, protect the network, and deliver customized solutions for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) means that more and more devices are being connected to the world's broadband networks. This new era of mobile technology is ushering in a wide variety of new machine-to-machine-based (M2M) use cases, from connected sprinklers, thermostats, garage doors, vehicles, and broad industry solutions like fleet management and connected healthcare.
Moving beyond providing simple connectivity for IoT devices, mobile operators now need to deliver a more complete solution that meets the demands created by the consumer, business, and automotive IoT verticals. A complete solution includes: providing access and insight into M2M device performance, usage, and trends; enhancing security of the IoT network; and providing usage- and time-based plans that more closely align with the unique needs of M2M devices in the IoT space.
Some very basic examples of current IoT use cases include:
- The Connected Home: fridges, stoves, smoke alarms, and thermostats that can all connect to the Internet and be managed remotely
- Fleet Management: shared data quota, protection against SIM theft, and broadband throughput controls to efficiently send telemetry and location information back to head office
- Connected Car: delivering on the 'Infotainment' experience in vehicles by connecting your car's dashboard to Google Maps and Foursquare, sending maintenance information to your dealer, and sending information of your driving habits to your insurance provider
Delivering 'Infotainment' to the connected car is a very recent—yet very popular—area of interest for communications service providers (CSPs). With the ability to handle multiple quota wheels simultaneously and manage included application usage for multiple M2M plans in real-time, Sandvine's Quota Manager is delivering innovative, high-value subscriber services directly to the dashboard of today's connected car.

In 2016, we are filled with pride, making history on many fronts. In June, we completed With Passion & Purpose: The Campaign for SUNY Oswego, raising more than $43 million and surpassing our most ambitious goal in college history by $3.48 million. This is the largest completed campaign among all SUNY comprehensive colleges, and the total is nearly double Oswego's last campaign. The impact of this success–thanks to the more than 16,000 donors representing alumni, employees, students, parents and friends–is being felt across all corners of campus as you will discover in the campaign stories.
This fall, we welcomed the most culturally diverse class in the history of our college. Nearly 34 percent of first-year students self-identify as Hispanic, Asian, African-American, Native American, Pacific Islander or a combination of categories. That means today one in four undergraduate and graduate students at Oswego identify themselves as culturally diverse. Such a diverse and inclusive community translates to more expansive perspectives and experiences that enrich the conversations, programs and relationships on our campus. This fall, we hosted a series of "Oz Speaks" events to provide a forum for students to express their thoughts and feelings about a range of important societal issues and events occurring across our country. We have encouraged our campus members to live the values of the just, compassionate, supportive and active college community that we are.
If our history of embracing diversity and inclusion on this campus is any indication of future success, I know we will persevere. This fall, we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the ALANA Leadership Conference, which began as a day-long event and now runs as a week-long initiative that invites our students and campus members to share aspects of their culture and heritage. Over the decades, our ALANA celebration has served as a model for other colleges and universities, which send representatives to participate in our events each year. The celebration included several sold-out or standing-room only events that attracted participants and attendees of all cultures. What an honor it was for me to join dozens of students, faculty and staff for this year's Peace Walk. In a public show of solidarity, we began the walk at City Hall and processed along the streets of Oswego, ending on the campus quad.
As our semester winds down and our campus community prepares to enjoy the company of family and friends during the holiday season and winter break, I extend best wishes to you all for peace and hope. I have an abiding faith in the people of SUNY Oswego and am confident that we can, individually and together, build on our similarities as human beings in advancing the common good of humanity.
With peace and kindness,
Deborah F. Stanley

text: 'O King, his name mightn't be Scheherazade, but if he was a she, it might well have been. You never know. And, anyway, to sing for his supper or else be despatched, the Talls-reteller must spin his cut-it-out ways to your royal self. If you had ever been listening, you might be able to admit wiling your Lankan nights away on his pull-this-one shaggy-dog yarns, especially about the misadventures of the Australian whitie called Wi – don't ask Wi, Sire! – after being bogged down in your Lankan realm, the Talls-reteller and the Aussie whitie, both, and not including you, of course. After all, there were some of your own people who had hired this Wi to perform their hearts' good'n'mischievous desires, so nobody's blameless around here. Except you, Your Majesty. Also, you should maybe cherish this White Wi as the world-champeen kidnappee of all time that he is. (Nothing could surpass his being nabbed three times in three minutes, not without having a real talent for it – and that wasn't the end of it by any means.) Even the ordinary people have come to love the godful way the Wi wipes those dirty dishes in Dominic's Eatery… but, no, it is probably better you don't leave the harem to go and watch him in action, Sire. You might eat something there, and where would that leave us?' (Publication summary)

Eating the Food

What a bummer about the burrito place. His place is exactly the kind of restaurant I would patronize ... and I love burritos! I haven't found anything comparable in my neck of the woods, although we have lots of "local" pizza and Asian food.

About the food storage diet....we are trying to get there as well. We have a pretty extensive storage, and are now restructuring our storage to be at least 50% of what we consume, though we do raise all our own meat, have a jersey cow, and still need to buy eggs, as our chicken have given up laying. We still purchase some of our bread, organic corn tortillas, and additional veggies/fruit that we cant produce from the garden, the green house, or the wildcrafting. The grocery budget is now less than half what we were spending, and we invest about 100.00 a month into increasing the food storage. This year we are purchasing 10 lb cases of wild caught salmon and smoking/salting to preserve, then store in Foodsaver bags. We are also about half done with the new 10x12 walk in root cellar...kudos to your family for their efforts to lower their impact on our world...namaste

text: I was going to comment just to the poster on trip insurance, but thought some people might not read that and benefit from our experience. Anyway---I wanted to let you know what may happen in case of a medical emergency while on the cruise. If you have really good insurance, you may be able to forego the trip insurance. Not considering this, we didn't buy the insurance. Now we'll see how good my Dad's insurance is! My 72 year old father and I were on a Disney Cruise earlier this month. On the Castaway Cay day of our cruise, my dad and I went on the Seahorse Catamaran Snorkel Trip. That's when the "accident" happened. My dad nearly drowned! He took in water through the snorkel gear and through his mouth---he's not a beginner, so this was sudden and quite unexpected. He did make it back to the catamaran ship---by himself---where he was helped out and collapsed into unconsciousness. Fortunately he was still breathing on his own, but very rapidly. The catamaran phoned ahead and we were met by medical staff back at the ship. There his stomach was emptied, he was heavily sedated and put on a breathing machine to slow his breathing and not tax his heart, and medicine was administered to remove the water from his lungs. At that point, arrangements for getting him off the ship and to a hospital were in the works. It did take about 9 hours to get to the hospital---something else to consider if you already have a life threatening problem! It was determined a helicopter would take too long. It was also kicked around that he would go to the hospital in Nassau or Freeport. To my relief, they arranged for him to go straight to Ft. Lauderdale-----by way of a tug boat meeting the cruise ship at sea, the tug taking us to Freeport where a lear jet medical ambulance was waiting, then the trip by jet to Ft. Lauderdale. I've heard the jet trip alone would be around $15,000! I believe trip insurance covers all the transportation, as well as the medical expenses on board---which happened to be $4000 (payable before leaving) for my dad. There's also the matter of customs---yes, you still have to clear customs in both the Bahamas and USA even in an emergency. Also, if the patient is transported by helicopter, there is no room for a passenger. On the jet, I was able to go, too (along with all our luggage). All this while, my Dad was on the breathing machine and drugged up heavily---keeping him unconscious and unable to breath on his own. Once in Ft. Lauderdale, an ambulance took us to North Ridge Medical Center---a very good hospital! Everyone there was very professional and personable. The customer relations volunteer was also extremely helpfull in helping me with accommodations, shuttles, and food from the cafeteria. Disney did try to help with finding a hotel too, but it was a sold out week and they didn't have the connections the hospital did. My dad was hospitalized for 5 nights (2 in ICU, 1 in CCU, and 2 in a regular room). Then came the fun of rescheduling the flights back to our homes (him to Oregon, me to St. Louis). Disney tried again, but came back with $200@ to fly us to St. Louis, or over $1000 for my dad to go Oregon. So I called the airlines myself and paid an exchange fee to use our original tickets. But the first available flights were 3 days later and out of Orlando. So I rented a car for 3 days, kept the Hampton near the hospital for 2 extra nights after my dad was released. Then we made our way back to Orlando for another night. I also recommend you take a cell phone!!! It'll come in extremely handy in such circumstanses! It's a LONG TOUGH ordeal!!! THank God my dad recovered!!!! Hopefully you'll never have to go through any of this! But this was the first cruise for either of us----and quite a memerable one! SUe

|Company founder Frank W. "Pat" Murphy out in the oil fields.
The Murphy brand was born out of one man's search for simple, reliable engine protection. While Frank W. "Pat" Murphy was a sales manager for a major equipment distributor in the 1930's, he found that his customers' main complaint was "burned up" engines. They were equipped with poor quality, non-indicating safety switches which were difficult to test and often inoperative. Pat decided to develop a simpler yet more effective "Safety Switch."
Pat's idea, later renamed the Swichgage®, was to combine an indicating gage with a switch that would stop the engine when low oil pressure or high coolant temperature existed. It was a simple design, easy to understand – and it worked well. Operators loved the new design because they could see the operating gage, adjust the trip point to their needs, and test the switch for operation. His invention was so well accepted, Pat decided to devote 100 percent of his time to manufacturing his "Murphy Safety Switch." Production began with Pat and his wife, Rosalie, building the instruments on their kitchen table in Mt. Carmel, Illinois.
Over the past 75+ years we have developed hundreds of products that monitor and control compressors, pumps, generators, and more. Our control systems for industrial operations monitor pressure, temperature, liquid level, overspeed, time and vibration. We cover it all, from simple start/stop operation to sophisticated automation systems. Many of our products and systems carry major international authority approvals.
|The Swichgage® was so successful that Pat and his wife, Rosalie, began building the instruments on their kitchen table in Mt. Carmel, Illinois.
In 2009, FW Murphy merged with EControls. EControls was established in 1994 and is a leader in the design, engineering, and production of complete engine control solutions supplied to OEM's in the engine and vehicle industries.
Enovation Controls LLC combines FW Murphy's full line of engine instrumentation products with EControls' extensive engine control development expertise to provide customers with a complete solution approach for engine control, protection and monitoring.
These solutions are utilized in a variety of markets including off-highway and mobile equipment, on-highway vehicles, gas compression, power generation controls, commercial marine, recreational marine, irrigation and water pumping.

Bill Radke: It is Google versus the Justice Department today in a New York courtroom. The company plans to build a massive online library. Marketplace's Sarah Gardner tells us a federal judge will decide whether that library is legal.
Sarah Gardner: Today's hearing will determine whether a controversial deal between Google and two big groups of authors and publishers should stand. The deal settled a lawsuit over Google's ambitious book-scanning effort. Writers and publishers decried it as a "massive copyright infringement." Google paid $125 million and promised them a share of future revenues.
But the Department of Justice still objects. It believes the deal undermines copyright laws and may eventually hand Google a monopoly in the online book market.
Jamie Court is president of Consumer WatchDog:
Jamie Court: The reality is when the Department of Justice comes in and says this company has too much power over a market with this type of deal, a federal judge is very likely to listen to that.
Over the past five years, Google has scanned millions of books. The online search giant contends that if the judge approves the settlement, it will, quote, "open the virtual doors to the greatest library in history."
I'm Sarah Gardner for Marketplace.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a great meal located near a movie theater? Too often, we find ourselves with the meal as an afterthought when we are heading to a movie and end up at a Chipotle.
I'll kick things off with Tea House at Betty Crocker Blvd and Hwy 169. There's a theater right across the parking lot.
But when we're not in the mood for Chinese, my mind draws a blank.

A drive-through fish and chip shop in Burnley's newly-renovated Weavers' Triangle has been given the green light.
The Banny's drive-through can now be built on the site of the former Dexter Paints in Trafalgar Street, despite objections by a number of parties.
The empty building on the site will now be demolished and replaced with a drive-through fish and chip restaurant.
Burnley Borough Council's Development Control Committee delegated grant consent to the planning officer after discussing the application.
Objections were received from Burnley Civic Trust, the Weavers' Triangle Trust and Burnley Historical Society who said the design was "ordinary", believing in this area that it should have been outstanding.
The Victorian Society and English Heritage also objected to the plans, which will form Phase 3 of the "On the Banks" redevelopment of the historic Weavers' Triangle area of Burnley.
In a letter to the council, English Heritage stated: "The new building is not of a quality that would preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area."
It added that an overly large gap would be opened up between the new and existing buildings.
However, the committee was advised that there would "convincing economic benefit resulting from demolition of the building."
Thee letters from residents were also received objecting on the grounds that there were already many fast-food outlets in the area, and was out of keeping with the historic buildings in the Triangle.
But the council's report, prepared by head of housing and development Paul Gatrell, stated that: "The economic uses proposed require the area to have a lighter and livelier, human-friendly feel.
"Without that, the area cannot attract the vitality and footfall necessary to secure its future."
It added that there would be "substantial general economic and social benefit resulting from the development of the whole block."
