Fast Food
The dumplings were fantastic! Poopie Bitch and I picked up a few bags on a recent run to the massive Asian/Mexican market on Winchester. For the sauce, I combined some hoisin, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and sesame oil. And the stir-fry was a quick way to use up some squash that would have gone bad soon.
Why am I not slaving over a hot stove these days? Because I'm moving, that's why. I've been packing for days! Ick! And I'll be officially in the new place by Sunday! Yea!
The downside to this (besides moving against my will) is that I will not have internet service for a few days. This could be my last post for a week or so, but I'll have Internet here through Saturday, so if I eat something really tasty, I'll let you know.
Oh, and I'm also skipping Iron Cupcake this month since many of my baking supplies are packed away. But check out Amanda's cupcakes on Walking the Vegan Line. This girl BRAVED HURRICANE IKE TO MAKE CUPCAKES! That's a cupcake hero, my friends...a true cupcake hero.

Fast food pretty much epitomizes almost all my meals. But how does yours look so much better than mine?!?!
I'm so sorry you have to move; hopefully your new place will be BETTER! I was forced to move last year (they're using my old location as the PARKING LOT for the new Bush Library!), and my new place is much better, so HA!

Jamberry Nail Shields are the Hottest!
Enter Jamberry nail shields. These things are pretty cool! You can apply these nail shields quickly and easily and unlike nail lacquer, you don't have to wait for them to dry. And they stay on a long, long time! Brooklyn's and my nail shields lasted for more than 2 weeks. Savannah's didn't stay on as long, but then again she spends several hours in the pool every day for water polo so we didn't expect hers to stay on that well.
There are so many awesomely cute designs from which to choose! There's definitely something for everyone. That was the hardest part about Jamberry nail shields - narrowing down my favorites to choose a design! I think I'm going to have to order those cute little palm tree designs next! And now you can even create your own custom design! With Jamberry's Nail Art Studio, you can upload a picture and created your own personalized nail shields!
Each sheet costs $15 and most people get 2-3 applications per sheet. I know a person who has short nails and gets 4 applications from a sheet which makes each application less than $4! Way cheaper than any manicure! Plus, right now when you buy 3 sheets, you get the 4th for free so it's even cheaper!
My friend Rebecca, a Jamberry consultant is offering a giveaway right now. Leave me a comment here with your favorite style from her Jamberry website and you'll be entered to win a FREE SET of nail shields. And everyone who takes advantage of the BUY 3/GET 1 FREE offer, will be entered in a second drawing for a free set of nail shields! I'll choose a random winner next Friday, April 12. Make sure you include contact information in case you win! Good luck!

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to attain or maintain an erection of the penis that is firm enough for penetration during sexual intercourse. The condition is also called impotence. To initiate and maintain an erection, the penis must fill with blood. Nerve signals stimulate this blood fill. The nerves prompt certain blood vessels in the penis to expand so blood can fill it. Meanwhile, other blood vessels constrict, trapping blood inside.
The following factors can cause erectile dysfunction:
Venous Leak: Veins are compressed when blood fills the penis. This will help trap the blood in the penis. If these veins are not fully compressed, then blood can leave the penis. The inability to keep blood in the penis will make it difficult to reach or keep an erection. The compression of the veins may not occur, or may be weaker than it should if the blood vessels that are supposed to fill do not fill enough. Blood vessels may not fill enough because of injury or disease.
Neurovascular Function: Erection cannot be attained if nerve signals do not prompt blood vessels to do their job or if blood flow to the penis is reduced. Nerve problems can also diminish feeling in the penis, resulting in impotence.
Many medications can cause erectile dysfunction by impairing either vascular or nerve function.
Medical conditions that can lead to neurovascular dysfunction include:
- Diabetes —can interfere with nerve signals
- Arteriosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries—can reduce blood flow
- Peripheral neuropathy , spinal cord injury, and surgery—can affect nerve function
Psychological Factors: Psychological factors account for 10%-15% of erectile dysfunction cases. The brain initiates many of the nerve signals required for a successful erection. Problems in your relationship, feelings of guilt associated with sex, depression , anxiety , and stress can all lead to erectile dysfunction
An estimated 25-30 million US men have erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction increases with age, affecting about 20% of men aged 20 and older and 78% of men aged 75 and older.What are the risk factors for erectile dysfunction?What are the symptoms of erectile dysfunction?How is erectile dysfunction diagnosed?What are the treatments for erectile dysfunction?Are there screening tests for erectile dysfunction?How can I reduce my risk of erectile dysfunction?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with erectile dysfunction?Where can I get more information about erectile dysfunction?

It's all transparent self-service business models these days isn't it? Well that's what Atlassian wants us to think. The firm this week unwrapped the fancy packaging around JIRA Data Center, a new piece of project management software that can be deployed across multiple nodes.
The company's complementary Confluence Data Center provides collaboration efforts. There's also "premier level" customer support and technical account management, just in case that kind of news gets you going.
RedMonk analyst and cofounder James Governor is of the opinion that "the great majority" of enterprises have fixed expectations about services and support, demanding a degree of hand-holding from their suppliers. "With JIRA Data Center, Atlassian is ready to deliver enterprise class support to its customers, alongside its other values," said Governor.
JIRA is at the center of the software teams that send NASA rockets into space and sequence the human genome, Atlassian JIRA general manager Bryan Rollins reminds us.
JIRA Data Center offers performance improvements so that concurrent user capacity grows steadily as more nodes are added. Clustering capabilities smooth out spikes in traffic improving performance and usability.
"JIRA Data Center and Confluence Data Center provide active-active clustering to reduce the risk of system downtime. The Data Center platforms integrate with industry standard technologies for database clustering and shared filesystems to minimize single points of failure. Teams can add a node in a cluster in real time. Re-indexing is very quick since the search index can be copied from another node," said the company.
JIRA Data Center can be up and running within a few hours. When installing JIRA Server, users can request a JIRA Data Center evaluation key to use that server as a node in a cluster. Existing customers on the most current version of the software can use their existing JIRA Server as one of the nodes in JIRA Data Center.

This is a follow up to Returning a Favor
I was curious about information in the 1850 Census Record for Lewis Terry. Who was Ansel Terry (52)? I could guess that he was the father of Lewis, but I can't work on guessing, need proof.
I found him in the 1880 Census as the father of the head of household, David N Terry. Could this be a brother of Lewis?
One hint for me, so far, is that this household didn't move around much. At least from 1850 to 1800, so far. So, I took a leap to my next research space, Find-A-Grave, and did a search for Anesl (not a common first name, for me at least).
Ansel Terry, born Aug 10, 1797, died Jan 3, 1884 would work. The 1850 and 1880 birth dates are within reason. I found him buried at the McClary Cemetery, Coffey, Daviess County, Missouri. I found that Ansel was married to Elizabeth Foster Terry (1798-1845). That helped confirm, for me, as to Why Ansel was with Lewis in 1850 and Widowed as seen in the 1880 census.
Listed on this website, were Children Enos A Terry (1819 – 1897), Thomas F Terry (1821 – 1845) and David Nelson Terry (1825 – 1908). This is the household that Ansel was in, in the 1880 Census. The birth dates between the first two sons, has enough room for our Lewis to fit in, so we are still, in my mind, within reasonable parameters. There is also room for other children for Ansel and Elizabeth.
Looking at Elizabeth Foster Terry, another Child is Added, Robert Jackson Terry (1832 – 1897). That might be the SAME Robert J Terry we saw in the 43rd MIssouri. What I didn't see on his memorial, was mention of he being in the Civil War.
Notes from Elizabeth's memorial "Elizabeth Foster(May 25,1798-Feb.22,1845), married Ansel Terry on Aug.30,1815 in Hamilton Co.,OH. They had 6 children; some in Hamilton Co.,OH, some in Franklin"
This confirms that Ansel was born in Ohio, which the Census has indicated. And 6 Children. I have Enos, Thomas, David, Robert Jackson, and Lewis L Terry. Missing one.
Returning to the Cemetery Listing, there was Sgt Lewis L Terry and his wife Cynthia.
The notes for Sgt Lewis L Terry say "Note: Co. F, 43rd Missouri Infantry. Information courtesy: McClary Cemetery, Washington Twp., Daviess Co., Missouri, By S. Terry, 2006" and "Lewis 1st married Cynthia Hall on Dec.1,1836 in Dacatur Co.,IN. Married 2nd to America J.Kelly in 1885." and "Lewis Louis Terry b,October 02, 1818 Hamilton,
Butler Co; Ohio [S/O Ansel Terry & Elizabeth Foster.]d.January 03, 1884 Davies Co, Missouri"
This helps confirm his two marriages and puts America J Terry into the picture as his 2nd wife. The dates are consistent with previously posted information.
Looking at Cynthia (yet another spelling) memorial page I found "Note: W/o Lewis L. Terry. Information courtesy: McClary Cemetery, Washington Twp., Daviess Co., Missouri, By S. Terry, 2009". Oh, and Dear MYRTLE has posted a memorial on this page.
The above memorials were:
Created by: One from many
Record added: Feb 20, 2008
Find A Grave Memorial# 24775886 for Cynthia Terry
Find A Grave Memorial# 24775897 for Sgt Lewis L Terry
Find A Grave Memorial# 24775921 for Ansel Terry
So Cuz, Dear MYRTLE, a few more bread crumbs to help put this family together. Dates, places, and some consistent information may help.

The TNT gang covered New Hampshire with one hour of pre-race and then live green to checkers TV.
Lindsay Czarniak anchored the pre-race with Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds. The Pride of NASCAR featured Dale Inman. Czarniak took a ride with Jeff Burton, Wally's World talked flat track and Denny Hamlin was the on-set guest.
Adam Alexander called the race with Petty and Wally Dallenbach Jr. in the TV booth. Matt Yocum, Phil Parsons, Ralph Sheheen and Marty Snider reported from pit road.
The race featured the typical style of flat-track racing that features the inside cars bumping the outside cars under green. The tempers were rising, but the race was less than exciting in terms of content for the TV team.
The normal amount of start and park cars ended the day early, but TNT continued to avoid this issue in much the same manner as the SPEED truck series gang. Pit stop coverage was standard, but green flag stops still throw a wrench into this coverage.
There were no technical problems, the weather was clear and the race ended as scheduled. TNT again left the air prior to the scheduled broadcast time without following up some stories from the race. Those were reported on the NASCAR.com post race show which uses the TNT staff.

Today was the first time that I watched TNT's RaceBuddy along with "watching" the NASCAR race on RaceView from the NASCAR.com Web site. It was certainly much better than watching it only on the television on delay on DVR. I could choose which NASCAR Sprint Cup driver to follow, and which camera angle out of four on the RaceBuddy site to view. I really enjoyed watching the race on NASCAR's RaceView and RaceBuddy is my own interactive way of watching the television show "24," which I know I will miss this coming winter. The television was on, but I decided to watch the race my way. I thought several observations that were strange. I noticed that the 20 second delay from the RaceBuddy to the Racetrack, which allowed me to watch the replay if I wanted on RaceBuddy.
As for the rest of the broadcast, I'm really not into the Pride of NASCAR pre-race segment, though it wasn't as bad as Fox's NASCAR coverage on the Slice of Pizzi. The latter was really corny; the former, I'm really not into the past history of NASCAR.
As for the post-race coverage, I was very disappointed that it as short as it was. I thought that it was going to run longer than it did. When I watched the broadcast on TNT on the DVR days later, I wondered how the post-race show on NASCAR.com was. Now, I know and I'm not very impressed.

I'm going to have to break my say down into 3 parts. I have always enjoyed this booth. They missed some things, but to their credit they did not run the "payback" script into the ground regardless of what was happening on the track. I saw Kurt's interview where he was saying media was overdoing the "payback" deal. It was just good hard old-fashion racing at the end. I agree and enjoyed it.
I have to give the camera work/production truck a D-. I had so much 1 car, 2 car, in car, bumper cam, etc. from fox that I can't stand it any more!!! Also, they missed too many things that happened on the track. I hope some one in charge goes back and watches the race so they can realize how bad it was!
To nascar I give a D. The double file restart and "have at it boys" attitude has made the racing better, but only the last 25 laps were worth watching. Captain Morgan was another example of nascar selling out for the dollar - how cheap was that?

Again TNT dropped the ball with leaving early during the post race coverage. JD, I know you don't have the answer, but I have to ask, why do they do this? And I can't even tell you what show was on for the 10 minutes left. What was the point of that? I did see the post race show on RB. Why couldn't they show that on TV?
I think TNT is too dependent on RB for post race. What about those who don't have a computer? I also noticed that the leader board was out of sync. Race was under yellow and the green light was still on.
Are the TV partners having a contest to see who can show a race the worst? So far TNT and FOX are tied. However, I know BSPN will win this contest.
BTW, I do like the guys in the booth and on pit road.

The NASCAR.com post-race was a joke. I have no clue why TNT continues to make ridiculous decisions after the races are over.
It was a problem in year one and now it is a problem in year four.
TNT should have updated Denny Hamlin, David Reutiman and many more before the scheduled TV time was over.

After TNT left the race they showed 5 minutes of that new show called Bait Car or something like that, then went to commercial. I changed the channel then. It was 5 more minutes to go until the bottom of the hour. I figured they would be showing 5 minutes of commercials.
Why TNT signed off with 10 minutes left, I have no idea.

If you're not in the top 10-15-20 cars, you're not in the race to the tv AND radio ...
If you're not HMS / SHR / JGR (& sometimes RCR), you're not in the race ...
It would've been nice to know WTF happened to the cars that started 8th and 14th ... why they got lapped so early ... etc ... TNT and PRN are both guilty of that ... I should NOT have to wait til the evening hours when the teams' post race reports come out to find out why the cars turned to pieces of carp ...
Two days in a row, I've turned the channel right as the "winner" crosses the finish line ...
IF a driver that I do NOT like wins the race, I do NOT watch the post-race stuff ... Sometimes, I don't even watch The Speed Report ... I've watched NASCAR Victory Lane a total of 7 times this season and 3 of those were the All-Star / Gatorade Duels / Bud Shootout races ...
I've gotten to the point where I'd rather sleep / play video games / surf the net than watch the races because it's been the same 3 guys all year long who've won ... and the same dozen that they talk about ...

The last two years, I've really liked TNT's coverage. It was a welcome dialing down of the gimmicks and hype from the FOX crew, and a more passionate and friendly feel than the ESPN guys.
But this year - I don't know, it just isn't clicking for me. Wally and Kyle's "oooh oooooooh ooooooooooh" routine is really getting old. The main play-by-play guy is boring as all heck. The camera work lately makes FOX look good by comparison. TNT doesn't come off as pre-scripted-story as ESPN, but they still only really cover about 5-6 drivers and the rest of the field is ignored.
Overall, TNT is kinda like the amateur hour. I am dreading ESPN taking over, but I am not going to miss TNT one bit.

The broadcast was good, not great. I watched via TV only, no RaceBuddy. I really enjoy this booth crew, no "me me me me" attitude we get with Fox. No over talking each other. I was let down on two parts though. Early in the race there was zero pit road coverage, they went to commercial instead. So it took a lot of time for me to learn who took 2 tires, 4 tires, or stayed out. Another time I felt lost was when Montoya and Gordan were mixing it up late in the race in roughly 6ish place. They covered that Montoya might have a left rear cut down. But, he didn't. Then magic happened. Montoya was in 16th place. Just poof, no coverage on why he fell 10 positions.
Kyle bringing up Adam once broke my heart. Kyle going to that track has to be heart wrenching for him. Lets not forget Kenny Irwin either.
Overall the broadcast was good, way better then Fox. But, still could be better. Less in car cam (as one person above said - Fox destroyed anyone's want of seeing it since they abused it).
I hope ESPN is paying attention, and don't turn their portion of the year into a Jimmy Time/Chase Time broadcast again this year. If they do, I fear for the sport.

I disagree with an earlier poster who said "they are not really into the past of NASCAR." WTH? As far as the race itself, I have to give kudos to ANY broadcast team that has to deal with races at Louden, Chicago, Yawnsas,Michigan, and California. Louden should lose BOTH dates. If ever I need to catch up on some sleep, I have five races to watch to do that. Phony debris cautions will always be a thorny issue, but Brian France wants a show, rather than a race. Even Denny Hamlin, among other drivers are tired of this sport turning into the WWF.Commercials are way too often and not spread out.

I hate that TNT keeps leaving before the scheduled end of the broadcast. What is so important that can't wait until the end of the hour or half hour? I understand they go to NASCAR.com, but if I'm still watching the TV, just show me the darn interviews.
Love Racebuddy since I can keep watching the race during the HIGH-LEVEL amount of commercials. It seemed that they were on the 3 minute cycle there for a while. 3 minutes of racing with 3 minutes of commercials - it makes it hard to follow the action. I thought it was a good broadcast by TNT. I like the personalities in the booth and the camera work is generally good.

WOW now that's a race!! I'm not even mad about Jimmie winning again because of the display of driving skills by those up front. That's what I want to see, NASCAR, ya hear?? Driver control of the race.
As for the actual seeing, because the audio was piped in from TNT we again used RaceBuddy 100% to watch the race, along with the scanner. Didn't use radio. Again, we really enjoy the driver introductions!! Did notice a few app glitches this time, but nothing serious, there was plenty of racing to keep an eye on. We were counting commercial breaks from the TV audio cut in & out, sounds like there were bunches of them again. Well, TNT did warn that they have to cram in before the Daytona WideOpen coverage, but it's still a shame to sacrifice quality broadcast of some races for one other. I see that post race was thin on the TV side, not really great via the computer either. Yeah they got the top 5 & even Kyle & Burton, but I thought there was plenty of time for a few more like Hamlin. Sorry but we just don't like Lindsay, and missed most of TNT pre race because of her, watched Raceday instead.
Not interested in the 3D at all, but CAN'T WAIT for the WideOpen coverage of Daytona, wish we could have that all the time, probably will not use RaceBuddy.

The on air coverage was a C. There are still to many commercials and on screen commercials, but I understand that is who pays for it. I think I saw the Leverage commercial around 15 times.
As far as the telecast, I keep on getting lost. When half the field gets lapped, the coverage goes away. I noticed this a couple races ago. They need to tell the viewers what is going on with the wave around deal and how it works. There where guys that were two laps down and finished in the top 15 on the lead lap, just confusing.
I have read the other commentaries and it is sad that you have to watch from a computer to get coverage that should be broadcasted on the TV. Also, I agree that if you aren't in the top ten, you aren't being talked about. They need more coverage and explanations. Why can't we look back at coverage from years ago and take some learning points on how it is done. The people making the broadcast decisions need to take a lesson on history on how it used to be done, when it was done by people in the sport not some person that has never even been to a race.

I still think TNT is doing a better job than FOX. I think talking to all the top 10 drivers after the race would be best, but NASCAR doesn't require them to all stick around and the network only has so many people working at any one time to grab the drivers for comment before they head to the helicopters. (I think they require the top 3 finishers, highest finishing rookie and the points leader to talk to media.) Now, if I can only get Trackpass to work without using Octoshape...

I decided to watch JR (sorry :-)) on HotPass because he was starting so far back. I couldn't do this with FOX because the booth totally overrode the scanner converstation. However on TNT you could listen to the booth for overall race info and still hear the scanner.
Fortunately JR was passing cars all race long to get to a top 10 (always took 4 tires, so no track position gain on tire strategy). So it was fun watching how he was working the racing lines to catch and pass the next car. Oh and by the way, Hotpass showed fastest cars on the track. JR was first a number of times and many times in top 5. Was that info shared about anyone by TNT? Think I heard something once or twice.
Also, on Hotpass they would show biggest movers, so you knew people were passing. Why TNT didn't choose to go back in the field to watch some of the movers is a total mystery to me.
Plus watching JR, I could see other cars making passes in front of him and around him.
I know many don't like JR. I am only using him to illustrate stuff was happening on the track that wasn't just in the top five.
Still like TNT much better than FOX. Pains me to say that because I used to love FOX.
Hope ESPN is paying attention to TNT and our comments.

I purposely stayed away from making comments in the live blog yesterday and just watched TNT without RaceBuddy or any other online activity. I have to agree with a couple of other posts that something just seems off with TNT this year.
Last year they were pretty much on target, easily the best effort of the three networks. They do have to deal with some bad tracks but yesterday the camera work was a lot like Fox's. Too much in-car and tight shots. I'm also not sold on Adam Alexander in his role. He's not asking as many questions to set up Kyle and Wally but he doesn't bring any sense of excitement.
The one other thing that really bugs me is the "rum" company stuff. Run ads but enough with the working it in to the race coverage.

TNT is not perfect but it is better than Fox anyday. They cover more drivers than Fox ever does but they could still mention more if they tried more. I have no problem with them cutting out on the post race show because it is over and time to move on. There is always another show out there to listen to other drivers whine or say the same old thing week after week. Considering what they have to look at and make split decisions on to broadcast live, then they do a good job. I like the fact that the agenda is NOT about them or back in the day when DW and Jeff were doing their cheating or gray area stuff. Larry Mac fits in well with the TNT crew. It could always be better, but then so could we at our jobs...B+

This looked like Fox coverage: disjointed.

For a while, I thought I was watching a Fox race. Early use of gimmick shots, main emphasis on the Top 10 instead of spreading it around like they did in previous races, lead-in plugs for sponsors like Fox, disjointed coverage, the commentary was the only thing that really kept it from being a clone of Fox. Hopefully this was a one time mistake that they can correct before Daytona. Post-race coverage was lacking. Why? There was plenty of time available.
For me, Race Buddy is useless as my TV is in one room and my computer is in another.

When FOX was running the show, all I heard about was complaints of in-car cameras.
Well, guess what - TNT is using the in-car camera about 10x as much as FOX ever did. Where are the complaints now?
It's starting to look like people will simply criticize FOX for anything and give TNT a pass for the same offenses simply because they like Kyle Petty and dislike DW.
How sad.

Geez, what is your damage? I did comment on the race: TOO MUCH IN-CAR CAMERA, much more than FOX. Yet TNT is absolved of any criticism because it's people that the fans like in the booth vs people the fans hate in the booth.
It is really amazing the reception people get when they dare to disagree with the almighty arbiter or broadcasting! I suppose it's only a matter of seconds until these disagreeing posts are deleted and you moderate comments again. You may not have a personal beef with FOX, but you come across that way, especially with that last comment.

You will criticize FOX every Monday, but give TNT a pass every Monday.
There is no way you can say this weekend's telecast was significantly worse than the FOX broadcast. Granted, the RACE was better, but the presentation of that race was NOT.
I mean, are you trying to say TNT is less in the bag for the 48 than FOX? Are you trying to say TNT uses less in-car cam than FOX? Are you trying to say that the announcers are significantly better? Sorry, but to me Kyle Petty has just as many axes to grind as DW, and Wally is every bit the on-air goofball that Larry Mac is.
I'm not saying I'd pick FOX over TNT, per se, I'm just saying: Where are the harranguing columns that point out the flaws of the broadcast? TNT gets a PASS on this blog, and that's a shame.

One last time. The "Your Turn" columns that appear after the races give fans the opportunity to voice their views on the TV coverage without my opinion appearing.
This is one of those columns.
If you would like to point out something that needs improvement, that you feel is wrong for the telecast or incorrect in content, please do so.
Every Sprint Cup race in 2010 has a "Your Turn" column after it is done and we have had thousands of comments.
Happy to have your opinion on this topic.

I was really frustrated when TNT left racing coverage before the scheduled time, and went into the middle of a "cops stopping cars" show. I can understand it when the race runs long, but when it is short?????
BUT, my biggest frustration of the day was with the SPEED pre-race shows. I hate it when I'm watching a race live and listening to the radio on a scanner and the "morality delay" is so evident. BUT, what was it with the sound delay on SPEED? Randy Pemberton and Jeff Burton especially - the movement of their lips bore no relationship to the words coming from their mouths. Don't know if was also true during the TNT coverage.

The TNT coverage is just sort of blah to me. I enjoy the Fox coverage because I think it's entertaining and makes me laugh, and I like watching sports to be entertained for a few hours. Fox always delivers with that IMO, but TNT is just really bland. ESPN is bland too. Looking forward to Mike, Larry and DW next year at Speedweeks.

Product Details
Porsche 924 Base / Turbo 1983-1985, Custom Auto Shade™ by Intro-Tech®. 1 Piece. This unique custom-fit thermal shade provides protection against heat and UV rays at the same time. The multi-layered construction can reduce interior temperatures as much as 40°F. Store it rolled up and fastened with the attached velcro strip.
- Multi-layered material with metalized outer film that reflects harmful UV rays
- Reduces inside Temperatures up to 40°F
- Protects leather seats from cracking
- Keeps steering wheel and shift knob comfortable to the touch
- Easy to roll up, with an attached velcro strap
- Easy to stow away when rolled up
- Finished with a UV-resistant, non-abrasive velour binding
- Lifetime Warranty
Don't let UV rays and extreme heat degrade your vinyl dashboard and interior. And that goes double if you have leather seats; the damaging effect of solar radiation is two-fold: the UV radiation will attack the plastic and leather directly. Solar heating can raise the interior temperature of a parked vehicle to nearly 180°, hot enough to burn your hands on the metal seatbelt buckle or steering wheel. Needless to say, that kind of heat can't be good for soft vinyl or leather. It will bake the volatile plasticizers and oils right out of them. They will turn hard, and eventually crack.
Most cars have tinted windows, and you can add tinting to the side and back windows, but federal law (and common sense, we hope) prohibits the windshield from being tinted enough to really keep out the sun. The best way, if you can't park inside all day every day, is a shade to reflect the UV back and to insulate from the heat. The Custom Auto Shade starts with a highly reflective layer of aluminized Mylar, which can reflect both short-wave ultra-violet and long-wave infrared radiation. The multi-layer material will then supply additional insulation to keep heat from infiltrating the interior. The Intro-Tech Automotive Custom Auto Shade is available in a custom-fit for your vehicle there are 2,600 patterns in their computer-based cutting machine.
You can expect the temperature of your interior to remain as much as 40°F cooler when the Custom Auto Shade is used. It takes only a few seconds to unroll the Custom Auto Shade and install it on the dash, and just as long to roll it up for stowage.
Intro-Tech® is based in sunny Southern California, and has been in business since 1991. Their product line includes floor mats, car covers, car sunshades, winter windscreen shields and the innovative PitStop Furniture line of race-inspired furniture. They manufacture all of their products themselves in their Chino facility, using the latest in Computer Aided Design and cutting technology. Because they use only the finest materials to produce their products, they are able to offer a lifetime warranty on everything they sell.

Were There Cars in Bethlehem?
The first performance ended up being a kind of practice run. Whatever could have gone wrong, went wrong. The CD got stuck about five minutes into the performance. Someone stopped it and started it over from the beginning. There went an extra five minutes in the cold. After the beginning was replayed again, the CD got stuck at the same place. It was determined that the CD player was frozen, so someone pulled their car up to where the Living Nativity was held, opened all their doors, and popped the CD into their player. OK, back to the beginning again.
Having a car drive up in the middle of "Bethlehem" somehow changed the mood a bit, but hey - the show must go on and these guys get kudos for resourcefulness in my book! So, back in the stable, the geese are honking away. (At least a chicken didn't fly out and step on baby Jesus' head this year. You try keeping a straight face when that happens.) The guiding star moved across the lawn before the wise men came out so when the wise men appeared, they looked up at the sky and pointed at umm, well, nothing.
Still, I love to watch The Living Nativity. It's a moving reminder of what it's all about.
After the show, we drove around a little bit, looking at Christmas lights.
And this is the reason I don't have my presents wrapped yet. I seem to have run out of tape.

I know that you have a some great places in the Chicago suburbs to check out lights. Ever hear of Candy Cane Lane? I think it is Edgebrook - check it out if you can!
Ummm tape? Thanks for reminding me! I have paper and about 1/2 a roll of tape. Guess I'll start tomorrow after a trip to Walgreen's!
PS_If I am first can I have a prize? Like an autographed copy of your book? Hee, hee, hee.

I Love the tape monsters how cute!!!! I wrapped all of our presents last night and my 9 yr old son comes running into me (Im in the shower) screaming "Santa has been, Santa has been" and I asked if his santa sack was full and he said "No?"
Now go and look who they are from and he found out that they are from us lol. 6 more sleeps......

Very funny - with your family you could pracitcally pull off a live nativity on your own.
We were part of a little church in Tucson one time - had to pull in EVERYONE we could find to try and fill all the spots. Bad idea - one of the shepherds ended up "flipping off" one of the cars that passed through. "Good tiding of great joy?"
- December 19, 2007 at 12:36 AM
Seeing the pictures of your Christmas paegant reminds me of the ones we had at our church when I was growing up, and I LOVED them! Thanks for the jog of memories! I'm finding alot of churches are turning Christmas plays into "concerts" or "dramatic proformances" these days, and they're starting to loose the actual meaning in all the hoopla. It looks like you all had a great time, and I'm sure spread some joy to passerbys and watchers! Merry Christmas!

I think I am missing something. Why do people ask you if they are first? I don't get what the big deal is, but whatever "floats your boat. I will admit I was tickled to see my "Fondue Wise Choice" in Sunday's Sound off.
THANKS! What for, you say?
First, For being real! I love that! (I am no June Cleaver.)
Second, for standing up for yourself & not worrying if what you are posting is "Politically Correct". Don't get me wrong, I would never want to offend someone. But soe people might be too easily offended & that's hard for those of us who are not blessed with the gift of articulation. I really liked that you said you were not going to let people post such negative responsesand that this was your blog. Way to go!
Last, but not least. You make me smile & laugh at myself. You remind me, that I do not need to take myself so seriously. And that it is Ok to be human and a mother. I could never thank-you enough for that. Thanks for being an Angel to so many of us Mothers. I feel like your message (did you think you had a message?) is, "You do not have to be perfect because you are a mother. You just need, some patients, a sense of humor, too keep trying & Love!"

Hi Dawn, Just wanted to say thanks for posting the picture of your Christmas tree. It looks beautifull. I wonder why the bottom isn't empty or filled with- who knows what- from the little one's! We still would like to see a Christmas eve pic of it and then an after of all the paper and such. By the way...What Time do the kids wake you up on Christmas morning???? Kristine in Michigan!

A few years ago a genius friend of mine suggested tape as a stocking stuffer. My son was so excited when he saw he had 3 rolls of tape, all for himself. It's become a little tradition now (so has underwear in the stocking, although my boys prefer the tape.) & for a little while it keeps them out of my supply.
- December 19, 2007 at 7:26 AM
Hi Dawn:
Great looking pictures. I liked the one where you have different animals in a small corral including a llama.
Can you share with us what kind of camera you are using. I'm planning to buy one your seems to meet my expectations.
Merry Xmas.

My kids asked last night why there are no gifts under the tree yet. I told them the truth. "The cat will eat the wrapping paper off of them." My cat has a crazy obsession with shredding wrapping paper. That makes for expensive confetti. Also, I can never find my tape either becuase I have to hide it from my kids & then I forget where I hid it.

Hi Dawn,
I just love getting to read your blog everyday. It's alot like getting my daily dose of vitamin C!! I start my day off with a giggle!
I love all the snow pictures. We have been in San Antonio for just under 2 years with probably no hopes of ever having a white Christmas. So, I savor all those snow pictures. I can say that I don't miss shoveling all that white stuff, though. (We lived in Rhode Island for 2 years... a seriously crazy transplanted Texan couple!)
Quick question: How do you keep up with all those mittens for your kids? In my house with 5 kids, I seem to be on a constant search and rescue mission to find socks. They are always getting lost and I seem to find them under the coach, on the floor, in the Food pantry, in the bed, oh, my favorite: in the bathtub. "Mr. Mom" movie moment: "Honey, what's this? (The Mom character takes a child out of the bathtub only to find he had his slippers on his feet while bathing) Dad responds: ...Oh...I didn't want his feet to get cold."
Thanks for sharing your gift for humor and for sharing your life! :)

Loved the movie quotes quiz.
I must say, your daughter looks just like you.......that's a compliment :) to both of you.

We just did a living nativity (smaller scale) with our church using the Primary kids. Luckily it was inside. We had the youngest ones playing the sheep and angels. As I was reading the narration I could hear a commotion coming from the other room. When the angels and sheep came out I noticed that the sheep costumes looked bedraggled. I found out later that they had been in the other room pulling off the cotton balls and hucking them at each other.

Hey Dawn,
A question for your Sunday sound-off: Do you do laundry everyday? If so, how many loads of laundry do you do in a day?
Sounds like a silly question (yep. I know it is..) but I get asked this question ALL the time since I have 5 kids. Why are people sooo curious about my laundry habits? I dunno. I get asked that question as well as the typical question: "Are these ALL your kids?" MY response, "I left the other 5 at home."
Take care,

Looks like your kids and mine got together with the tape!
Have a wonderful Christmas. I am looking forward to the post holiday tales.

Thought you would enjoy this:
Dear Santa,
I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.
Here are my Christmas wishes:
I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the grocery store.
I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.
If you're hauling big ticket i tems this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music, a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals, and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.
On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, 'Yes, Mommy' to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.
I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting 'Don't eat in the living room' and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.
If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.
If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable?
It will clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime
Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is calling and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet. (you promised me last year you would lose some weight with me so next year you and I could be a cute size two blonde...ok, some requests go too far, but none the less.....
Yours Always,
P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children, healthy, safe and of course, young enough to always believe in Santa.
- December 19, 2007 at 10:39 AM
This year my seven year old asked me why Mary wasn't pregnant in the nativity scene at chuch. He got a chuckle out of a bunch of adults. Now thanks to your blog I can tell him that some churches have a pregnant Mary. P.S. I never have any tape in my house either and it doesn't matter what time of year it is!

It looked like a fun time! When the kids are "grown", gone, come back, gone again...the tape will magically reappear...many years from now you will find rolls of tape long hidden in the recesses of your home...so far, in my Christmas cleaning frenzy I've found 11 rolls!

Dawn, I've been reading your blog for a while but this is my first comment. I suspect that we'd get along very well if we ever met in person. I have lots of respect for moms of big families - I come from 12 kids myself.
Anyway, I was reading along about the Nativity thing and thinking how nice it was and how we need to do that with our kids in the next few days. Then I got to the picture on the bottom and nearly peed my pants. My dear baby is sleeping on my lap while I type and she lurched awake because of my snorty laugh. Thanks for the giggle!

Nice post.
Reminds me of "The Vicar of Dibley" During a living nativity- the woman playing Mary did go into labor. Was quite the re-inactment. Thank goodness that doesn't happen other than the tv.
Cute kids. Where on earth did the idea to scotch tape their faces evolve?
- December 19, 2007 at 12:23 PM
Ahhhh, rest easy you weary child laden mothers. Your tape will come back to you. My son returned the roll with my personal note taped to the holder "Return this to your mother!" and it only took him 43 years. Some of my bath towels have yet to find their way home, and I'm not sure I even want them at this point.
- December 19, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Oh man! I can relate to the tape issue. My 5 year old found my stash and somehow made a perfectly round ball of tape..(kind of like a ball of yarn). He's having the best time with it! Maybe I'll just take back his gifts and buy him tape instead! LOL

I got this story in an email and had to share it. It's a little long, but I think you'll like it:
My husband and I had been happily married (most of the time) for five years but hadn't been blessed with a baby.
I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if he would give us a child, I would be a perfect mother, love it with all my heart and raise it with His word as my guide.
God answered my prayers and blessed us with a son.
The next year God blessed us with another son. The following year, He
blessed us with yet another son. The year after that we were blessed with a daughter.
My husband thought we'd been blessed right into poverty. We now had four children, and the oldest was only four years old.
I learned never to ask God for anything unless I meant it. As a minister once told me, 'If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella.'
I began reading a few verses of the Bible to the children each day as they lay in their cribs.
I was off to a good start. God had entrusted me with four children and I didn't want to disappoint Him.
I tried to be patient the day the children smashed two dozen eggs on the kitchen floor searching for baby chicks.
I tried to be understanding... when they started a hotel for homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours to catch all twenty-three frogs.
When my daughter poured ketchup all over herself and rolled up in a blanket to see how it felt to be a hot dog, I tried to see the humor rather than the mess.
In spite of changing over twenty-five thousand diapers, never eating a hot meal and never sleeping for more than thirty minutes at a time, I still thank God daily for my children.
While I couldn't keep my promise to be a perfect mother - I didn't even come close... I did keep my promise to raise them in the Word of God.
I knew I was missing the mark just a little when I told my daughter we were going to church to worship God, and she wanted to bring a bar of soap along to 'wash up' Jesus, too. Something was lost in the translation when
I explained that God gave us everlasting life, and my son thought it was generous of God to give us his 'last wife.'
My proudest moment came during the children's Christmas pageant.
My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds and my youngest son was a wise man.
This was their moment to shine.
My five-year-old shepherd had practiced his line, 'We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.'
But he was nervous and said, 'The baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes.' My four-year-old 'Mary' said, 'That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly.
That's dirty, rotten clothes.' A wrestling match broke out between Mary and the shepherd and was stopped by an angel, who bent her halo and lost her left wing.
I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll
representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying, 'Mama-mama.'
Mary grabbed the doll, wrapped it back up and held it tightly as the wise men arrived.
My other son stepped forward wearing a bathrobe and a paper crown, knelt at the manger and announced, 'We are the three wise men, and we are bringing gifts of gold, common sense, and fur.
The congregation dissolved into laughter, and the pageant got a standing ovation.
'I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one,' laughed the pastor, wiping tears from his eyes.
'For the rest of my life, I'll never hear the Christmas story without thinking of gold, common sense and fur.'
'My children are my pride and my joy and my greatest blessing,' I said as I dug through my purse for an aspirin.

Hi Dawn,
The Living Nativity was beautiful. I'm glad you got pictures because I forgot to charge my camera before we left and I got two bad pictures before the battery went dead. Now I can share it with the grandparents through your blog. Thanks!
It was so cold at the Living Nativity two years ago that my toes hurt. I went out and bought really good snow boots the next day. I wore them on Sunday and my toes were toasty warm!!!!
Merry Christmas Dawn!

I wrote a post a little while back about how I bought a package of four rolls of tape, hoping I'd have some left when I went to wrap presents. I even hid it. When I went to get it? Three of the rolls were gone. The fourth disappeared soon after. I think they eat it.

I will never catch up on your blog. I was moving into my new house on December 1st and my dh was in a head on collision.

He won't be home until spring, but your blog made me laugh during my bleak Christmas season. I need laughter daily to keep my spirit up.

So I was suprised to see that noone else thought of the movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" when seeing the taped up kids! I would always steal my moms tape and try to tape my face to look like Pee Wee's in that movie!! The memories that you bring back are amazing! I am only 25 and already feel like my mind is totally gone!! I have lost soooo many brain cells from having kids!!! I just think its crazy that something so small could bring up such a big memory for me. Thanks, maybe I'm not crazy after all!!

Your comments brought to mind a place we used to go every year in Ohio called "Rudds Farm." You walked through it and the story starts way before Christ's birth and goes on to His death and resurection. I think every time we went it was "50 below" or so it seemed. But every year was worth the trip. They had somewhere around a million lights. It was awsome.
Now here in FL we do a live nativity with a drama and it is usually warm and humid. Big difference.
I'm glad to hear and see that we haven't forgotten the "Reason for the Season."
Thanks for sharing.

After she gives birth to Jesus, do they then switch her out for an non pregnant look-a-like?

"I wish to do it to reflect the character of Mad:selle Rose," Mozart replied when asked how he intended to set out the Andante of his Sonata in C major. In autumn 1777 he had got to know Rosina Cannabich in Mannheim and during her lessons immediately introduced her to the Sonata K. 309 that he had composed for her. Indeed, in December 1777 according to her teacher she was already able to perform it "excellently". So that a great many other pupils might follow in her footsteps, we are now publishing this small gem that shows Mozart's great skill in composing for the piano as a single edition with a new preface by the editor; it was previously only available in the complete volumes (HN 1 and 3).
FIRST MOVEMENT The first movement of the C major Sonata K 309 is a model teaching sonata form structure. With sonata forms, as with Bach fugues, no formal dogmas underlie the process of composition, but each sonata varies anew a basic principle. For Mozart, this entailed strict adherence to certain fundamental patterns without his creative freedom. In his sonata movements in major keys, for example he favoured a distinct second subject in the dominant as most contemporary composers did. Haydn, on the other hand, reveled in experiment at this point.
A brief analysis may help to demonstrate Mozart's standard sonata allegro form and the first movement of it is an ideal example for such an investigation. The first subject is a distinctive, marcato opening followed by a five-bar response. The falling fourth and rising sixth of the opening is one of Mozart's favourite motifs, his common melodic device. He often uses it in the minor as well as the major, and many of his themes start with this motif (e.g. the second movement of the A major Sonata K 331, the Adagio in B minor K 540, and subjects in the Symphonies K 114, 124, 319/II and 551/II). The seven measures of the main theme are repeated, slightly varied. Measures 15 to 21 conclude the first subject group with an answering phrase (3+3 bars). The transition consists of new material and then, in measure 35 (after two measures of preparation comes a second cantabile theme, in the dominant (G major) comprising 2x4 bars, which is also repeated and proceeds to a spirited closing theme (concluding group) using passage-work (m. 43) and incorporating a delightful diminuation of measures 35 36 in measure 45. The exposition ends with a codetta of five bars. The development presents the opening motif first in g minor, and then the various ideas of the first subject are worked out. With this procedure Mozart is keeping much more closely to textbook principles than he usually does. Two further statements of the opening motif lead back to the recapitulation in measure 94. The second subject, now in the tonic, has surprisingly changed place with its accompaniment. The opening is recalled again in an effectively assertive coda.
SECOND MOVEMENT The second movement of this sonata is an introspective Andante un poco adagio. In a letter Mozart stated his desire to make this Andante match the character of the young pianist Rosa Cannabich for whom he wrote it: "…she is a sweet, pretty girl, just like the andante. For her age she is sensible and level-headed; she is serious, and doesn't talk too much, though what she says is pleasing and sympathetic".
THIRD MOVEMENT An elegant and smoothly flowing Rondo of unusually large proportions concludes this Sonata.

"I don't know what 'difficult' means. Either you can play or you can't" – this was the rather terse comment by the great violinist Nathan Milstein, on being asked about the unbelievable difficulty of Niccolo Paganini's Caprice no. 1.
The relativity of the evaluation of difficulty in music immediately becomes clear. Yet I gladly take up this great challenge, presented to me by G. Henle Publishers. For I am aware of how useful a guide like this can be, both from my own experience as well as that of many colleagues. In particular so as to be able to identify "appropriate" works. For example for music teachers, who teach at very different levels, from beginners to those preparing for music conservatories, but also for all those interested amateurs for whom this guide is intended.
After careful deliberation I have settled on nine levels of difficulty, which I have divided into three groups: 1–3 (easy), 4–6 (medium), 7–9 (difficult). A number of parameters have been considered when assessing the level of difficulty. I have not just looked at the number of fast or slow notes to be played, or the chord sequences; of central importance are also the complexity of the piece's composition, its rhythmic complexities, the difficulty of reading the text for the first time, and last but not least, how easy or difficult it is to understand its musical structure. I have defined "piece" as being the musical unit of a sonata, or a single piece in a cycle, which is why Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" Part I comprises a total of 48 levels of difficulty (each prelude and fugue is considered separately), Schumann's Sonata in f sharp minor op.11 only has a single number. My assessment is measured by the ability to prepare a piece for performance.
While assessing the pieces, it became clear that the medium level of difficulty (4–6) is the trickiest. Now and again this means that a piece is judged as a "3/4", even if it only deserved a "3" as far as piano technique is concerned. An example of such a "borderline" case (easy/medium) is Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood" op. 15 Von fremden Ländern und Menschen or at the other end "6/7" part of Bach's "English Suites". And of course within a main category there are also "from-to" evaluations (e.g. 7/8).
Any evaluation of art or music will always be subjective, even if the aim was to be objective. Despite the fact that I have endeavoured to be as careful as possible, I am all too aware that the results of my work can be called into question, and am therefore grateful for any suggestions you might have.

Identity theft is any kind of deception, scam, or crime that results in the loss of personal data, including the loss of user names, passwords, banking information, credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers and health ID's, that is then used without your permission to commit fraud and other crimes.
Up to 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year according to the FTC1 , and at least 534 million personal records have been compromised since 2005 through attacks on the data bases of businesses, government bodies, institutions, and organizations2. If those breaches were spread evenly across the U.S. population of 310 million, everyone would have had their identities stolen one and two-thirds times.
For some consumers, identity theft is an annoying inconvenience and they can quickly resolve their problems and restore their identity. For others recovering their identity can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, take months to resolve, cause tremendous damage to their reputation, cause them to lose job opportunities, even influence the rejection of loan applications for school, homes or cars because would-be employers or loan companies see the damage on your credit scores. Some consumers have even been arrested for crimes committed by someone using their identities and have had to prove that they were not guilty.
Consumers become victims of identity theft through many types of exploits. These can happen the old fashioned ways when crooks (including family members!) steal mail from your mailbox, rummage through your trash for bills and bank statements, steal wallets and purses, or make an extra copy of your credit card - perhaps when your waiter or clerk walks off to process your payment.
Online identity theft occurs when users fall for tactics like phishing and confidence scams; or download malware onto their computers or smartphones that steals their information; use wireless networks that are insecure; take out money from an ATM that has been rigged with a skimming device that collections your information; share their passwords with untrustworthy people, or by having their information stolen when data records are breached on companies, government, and educational sites.
Monitor your credit scores. By law you have the right to three free credit reports per year; from Experian, Transunion, and Equifax.
These three credit bureaus work together through a website called AnnualCreditReport.com so you can quest all three reports at once in one of the following ways:
Note: Remember that after you request a report, you will have to wait a year to get it free of charge again from the same credit reporting company. (Of course you can pay for a copy of your credit report at any time.)
Consistently applying these eight steps to both defend and monitor your credit score will reduce the risks of having your identity stolen, and alert you instantly if such a problem arises.
