Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the RetroSound SUB-8100 by John Pollard Who needs a powered subwoofer? To produce bass, you need a sub, an enclosure, and an amplifier, and it can be little tricky to match them all up. A powered sub eliminates all the hassle, as the manufacturer designs the enclosure to house the sub and amp together. This all-in-one solution is especially useful in smaller vehicles, where there's no room to mount a separate amp, or in any vehicle where you need every bit of cargo space. Powered subs range from small, flat boxes that fit under your seat to larger boxes that go in your trunk. A tough sub for tight spaces RetroSound designed their low-profile SUB-8100 powered sub to give you rock-solid bass in regular cab trucks, classic cars, and other vehicles that don't have room for an ordinary subwoofer. The enclosure comes in at just 3" thick, so it'll fit behind or under a seat with room to spare. A 100-watt RMS amplifier powers the 8" sub, and they're perfectly matched to give your ride the bass it's been missing. Use the variable low-pass crossover and phase switch to get the sound you want, then use the compact wired remote to adjust your bass levels on the go. Cast aluminum enclosure Like your vehicle, the SUB-8100 is built to last. A rugged aluminum enclosure protects the sub and amp while dissipating heat generated by heavy, extended listening. Retrosound includes mounting hardware for the sub and the remote, so all you'll need is an amp wiring kit to get great bass in your vehicle.

IE no bass and the volume just wasn't there. The difference after adding this compact unit was astounding. I would recommend this sub to anyone with space constraints. Pros: Great in tight places. better sound than expected. has wiring harness instead of screw terminals a real plus Cons: have not found any yet 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Better Sound For a Superduty Written By WillG, Darien, WI on Thursday, January 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed this in my 2002 F-350 regular cab truck. It fits great behind the seat with some modification to the plastic storage tray back there. Tim is right, it is built very solid and the adjustment knobs are high quality the wire harness is nice too, but the fuse holder is a cheap piece of crap, better to cut it out and install you own fuse. I put an in line blade style fuse right at the battery which worked great and will be easier to change if I ever have to. The sound quality is great, I have an Eclipse stereo with stock speakers so I'm not exactly going all out here, but this little sub added a fullness to my music that was missing before plus now I can turn the bass setting on the stereo down to get more volume before it starts distorting my factory speakers. I don't want to put a complete system in this truck because it is completely unmolested and there is no room, so this was a good way to get better sound. If you are looking for a license plate rattling thump thump, this is obviously not the answer. Pros: Heavy duty, compact, easy installation, reasonable price, great sound. Cons: Made in China 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This is a Skipper, buy the sound ordinance this will not hold up against the smallest of amps, My Miata headrest speakers would over power two of these subs. Pros: Thin, Stong well built case Cons: No Power 7 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Big sound in a little package. Written By Jojo, Oscoda,MI on Sunday, July 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All I can say is wow,what a nice sub for small car or truck.I just put it in a 1997 Nissan std cab pickup never would have thought I could fit a sub behinde the seat(most people would have put a box behide the seat and moved the seat up to make room for the sub,not me Im 6'1" and the seat in any position but all the way back is not a option)installation was simple and fast,and they matched up well with the polk 651 6.5" I installed the day before(no amp on the polk's)I was happy with just the polks but I bought the sub the same time but wanted to hear it with and without the sub. I figured if the sub gave me even a little bass I would be vary happy,well it gave me a lot of bass,couldn't be happier. Pros: vary small with big bass Cons: none 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Study Tours
The McCarthy Center believes in the importance of experiential learning as a way to engage students in the many layers of the policy making process. Study tours bring students face-to-face with key players and organizations working on current policy issues like green urban planning, immigration, and rural development. If you have an idea for a future study tour (especially something local), please contact Stacy Penk at email@example.com with your idea.
Dr. Matt Lindstrom, Professor of Political Science, and Bob Bell, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Finance, led a study group to New York City from October 4-8. The learning goals were:
- To increase awareness of media coverage of politics, Wall Street, and other current events, through on-set live broadcasts of radio and TV shows, and by meetings with CSB/SJU alums and others in the radio and TV industries
- To better understand financial institutions impacting U.S. and global monetary policy, both in the public and private sectors
- To gather unique lessons about the city of New York, its culture and geography

ZiwiPeak Cuisine pet food is a complete, natural balanced real-meat diet prepared with care in New Zealand beneath the Bay of Plenty's celebrated peak, Mt. Maunganui. The peak health of dogs depends on the sustenance they get from real meat. ZiwiPeak products are formulated with the same balance of meat ingredients that dogs would find by hunting in the wild. It's the diet that nature intended. Energize your pets with the nutritional value of a raw meat diet, with the convenience of air-dried jerky style portions.
ZiwiPeak Cuisine Helps to Promote
Available as a 2.2lb, 5.5lb, or 11lb bag in either Beef, Lamb, Venison, or Venison & Fish proteins:
ZiwiPeak Cuisine for Dogs Meat Choices
ZiwiPeak ingredients are sourced from livestock ranch-raised (free of antibiotics and hormones) on New Zealand's green fields and fish from its clear blue waters. Only ingredients 'passed fit for human consumption' make the grade - no artificial colors, preservatives, fillers or grains. ZiwiPeak Cuisine is suitable to feed your pet at any stage of life - from puppy to mature adult. Most importantly, dogs love the taste!
ZiwiPeak Cuisine is available in air-dried pouches. The gentle air-drying process delivers a high quality diet while maintaining the nutritional integrity of the natural raw materials. Air-drying is a sterile and safe food processing method, carried out under controlled conditions. Food is best used within 30 days after opening and can be stored in the freezer.
Read about the ZiwiPeak Advantage.
Nutrition is vital to life. Our human bodies are designed to process a certain hierarchy of food types to give us the nutrients our bodies need to perform. When we don't get the right nutrients, things go wrong. We get fatigued, put on weight, or worse - become diseased. The same happens to our pets! What we don't always understand, however, is that cats and dogs are different. Different from each other, and different from us with respect to their dietary needs.
In our modern-day, busy society, the balance of nature has been 'thrown' by processed foods. Convenient, synthetic foods full of additives, flavorings and preservatives make up the bulk of our diet. The results show up in an overweight society with health issues and low levels of energy. Sadly, we tend to feed our pets diets similar to our own.
The fact is, we don't see our pets stalking cereals or hunting chips in the wild! That's because cats and dogs are carnivores and omnivores, respectively. Only a natural meat-based diet, free of additives and preservatives, provides them with the sustenance they need to get the most out of life.
The ZiwiPeak team has a goal to educate pet owners worldwide about the importance of feeding 'the diet that nature intended' for the peak health and performance of their pets. We are dedicated to sourcing quality, ranch-raised ingredients that support humane farming practices, and only use meat cuts 'passed fit for human consumption'. ZiwiPeak's pet food New Zealand ranch-raised ingredients are certified free of antibiotics and hormones.

Hands Down the Best in a Bag
By Phil
from Milton, DE
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about ZiwiPeak Daily Cuisine Grain-Free Air-Dried Dog Food:
Sadly, I can no longer do a daily raw food diet routine for my dogs. But, I do not want to feed them any variety of kibble or commercial canned food product! So after doing lots of research, I have concluded that ZiwiPeak comes closest to a true raw diet. It is quite expensive (Only Natural has a real good price on it though), perhaps even more than the raw diet I was giving my dogs. But high quality and convenience costs, so I am transitioning my dogs to this product. I'll still give them a true raw meal once or twice a week though. And since ZiwiPeak is an air dried raw meat product, it digests quite nicely alongside the fresh raw meat. And I must say, the dogs seem to love the taste.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Raw That's Convenient
By Crittermommy
from Durango, CO
I augment my dog's fresh raw diet with Ziwipeak for convenience when I don't have his raw meat thawed or when we're on the road. He loves all the flavor choices so I buy different ones each time. I know he's getting optimal nutrition and it's an easy way to transport a raw diet without refrigeration.
Dogs Love this Food

My dogs loves this and she is fussy
Excellent food
By Malanie
from Hudson, MA
My dog had cancer last year and so I love this food as it is one of the very vew out there, that is really grain free AND carbohydrate free. I have a golden retriever that is 85 lb. so I put a scoop on top of his Orijen kibble or mix it in my home made food. I gave it only 4 stars because for a big dog it's too expensive, but other than that I love it and he loves it too!

Diva Loves It!
By Diva's Mom
from Texas
I had been making a home-made diet for my last little Yorkie and she did so well on it that I wanted to continue to do that but my new little one will not eat it. I decided to try this rather than the not-so-good dry foods available at the pet stores here. She loves it and the flat shape makes it easy for her to eat. I feel good about feeding her the best I possibly can. She is tiny and doesn't eat much so I can afford to feed her the best but if I had a large dog this would not be possible as it is VERY expensive. Overall it's a great food and I will probably continue to buy it for her instead of the MaxMeat which I tried first. She also liked it but I have to chop the pieces up for her to be able to eat it and this one I don't. She can easily handle the soft, flat pieces of ZiwiPeak.
My dogs always leave an empty bowl
By Cloudpuncher
from Plainfield, IL
My two cocker spaniels LOVE this and I know it's very high quality and good for them. They can be kind of picky with their foods but I know the bowls will be licked clean when I give them ZiwiPeak. Just a shame that it has to be sent from the other side of the planet. Much prefer something that is produced locally so I don't give this product on a regular basis.

Great food but...
By Lana K
from Southampton, NY
About Me New Owner
I have a very picky maltese. I tried every possible healthy dog food there is and he would not eat it, until a sales person in a pet store introduced me to ZiwiPeak, so i thought i will give it a try. And my dog loved it. I have not had a problem with it yet, the only downside is that is seems to give my pooch a bad breath...
By hofs
from Murphys, CA
The world's pickiest dog, mine, loves this food. We use it as a treat, and even though he really doesn't like any other treat, he loves Ziwi Peak. This food is expensive, but using the basic diet as a treat makes it relatively cheap, and we think it is good for him.

ZiwiPeak is Amazing!
By Heather
from Dublin, CA
Both my dogs suffered from food allergies and I have tried everything from home made foods to all different types of raw commerical products. Then I found ZiwiPeak and both my dogs changed in a day. Their allergies stopped, their coats are shinny, no digestive problems and most of all they seem in better spirits and so happy!
Great Dog Food!
By Bonnie
from Atlanta, GA
I am involved in dog rescue for Papillons. We give Ziwi Peak to dogs that are ill and not interested in the high quality food given to the rescue dogs. The taste of Ziwi Peak, especially feed as a treat, is accepted by all our rescues happily. We also use Ziwi Peak as training treats for the rescue dogs. As for my dogs, they are on a raw diet. I use Ziwi Peak for some meals, all of our meals when we travel. I also use Ziwi Peak as their treats. They never get tired of the wonderful taste of Ziwi Peak! I always bring a container of Ziwi Peak with me when my dogs go to the vet. It makes my dogs look forward to going to the vet (lots of special treats) and I always ask the other owners if I can offer them to their dogs. Most dogs love Ziwi Peak, too!

Obviously, cyclist Lance Armstrong and Jack are not related.
Lance, we now know, cheated. And then he lied about it — over and over and over.
His fellow cyclists, some on his elite Postal Service team, ratted on him. Yet he maintained his innocence throughout several years of denial, calling them liars and throwing them under the bus.
Many of us thought Lance to be a reincarnation of Jack — or maybe his grandson. He set an example: a clean-cut, articulate, highly tuned athlete who overcame dreaded cancer to reach the pinnacle of his sport. He grabbed the top rung and held onto it for years, beating back all competitors. We thought him invincible.
Several of those competitors, I might add, themselves fell to charges of doping. That's another word for cheating in the cycling business.
And cycling at Armstrong's level is a business. He's a millionaire many times over. After all, the Postal Service paid some $40 million over the years for his team to ride under its banner. That's a lot of stamps.
So now for whatever his motives, Lance has thrown us under the bus, too. He lied, we bought it, and he continued to lie until the truth came out and he was stripped of his titles.
At least I retain my memories of Jack Armstrong, still the all-American boy.
Ron-dumb thoughts
This recent male tonsorial look that features not a beard but a seven- to 10-day growth of whiskers is simply not acceptable at our house. I recently mentioned not shaving for a week or more and Housemate (HM) voiced her vehement opposition to the idea — her exact words not suitable for printing in a family-read newspaper. To be honest, I think the scraggly look is infantile. If you want to grow a beard, make it a full one. But don't count on my face sporting one.
By the time you read this, many residents will have visited Patterson's new Walmart store, which opened Wednesday morning. I had a tour Monday evening on Family Night and can sum up the experience in one word — amazing!
No doubt about it, Colin Kaepernick is highly marketable. Tall, handsome, intelligent, an easy interview, fast afoot, humble, and with inoffensive tattoos, he makes only a little more than $600,000 under his present contract with the 49ers — a pittance in pro sports. That will change, and watch for big endorsements to come. Besides, who could dislike a guy who has a 115-pound tortoise named Sammy for a pet?
And how about those Harbaugh brothers. Great Super Bowl matchup between this all-in-the-family duel, and one will end his season with a loss.
Anyone missing a raccoon? We have one who visits regularly, usually to be found just outside our back door dining on his favorite cat food. He washes his muddy feet in the water bowl and then drinks from the pool.
Life cut too short
Many Pattersonites this week mourn the loss of Gene Field, who last Sunday succumbed to a battle with cancer on his 72nd birthday.
Gene was not only an excellent high school teacher, but also a friend to many, including his former students. He was a staunch supporter of quality education who over the years claimed many admirers in our community. Although his death was not a surprise, it deeply saddened his many friends and colleagues.
Lesson for the week
All right, you kiddies who are enrolled in Fast Talk's program of knowledge enhancement, ponder this week's health class questions:
•If walking is good for your health, why aren't mail carriers immortal?
•A whale swims all day, eats fish and drinks only water, so why is it fat?
•Why is it that a rabbit, which runs and hops through life, has a life expectancy of only 15 years?
•And the tortoise? He lives for decades.
For the sports fan
Those of us who grew up in a certain place in a certain time period are this week walking around with long faces. Stan Musial died last weekend.
And finally…
I often receive questions via email for which I have no answers. Here's one.
Why do banks leave their vault doors open and chain their pens to the counter?

text: That Sig Mosquito is a nice gun, I have one, the only problem I found is that Blazers and CCI mini-mags in round nose are about the only rounds that give consistant feed. Where the bullet feeds into the chamber if you look closely there is a small lip that the nose of the bullet catches on. I'm going to take a dremel and zip that little edge down so that there is a smoother feed and see if that helps. Also after a few thousand rounds are fired through it, they seem to work better. I still have a few issues with the feed on mine but not as much as when it was new. So I need to get that dremel out.

I appreciate any feedback. I'm anxious to order it.

Re: Wouldn't it be cool?
I managed to cook chicken on the first of November, AND a pumpkin dish to catch up from the month before. I cooked an Indian feast for my daughter, her fiance, and his mother who had come to visit from Canberra. So it was a special dinner! There was rice, cheese and peas, and a dal aswell.
The pumpkin dish was an old favourite, quick and simple. It is made special by the fried lentils, they are put in first with the mustard seeds. I couldn't imagine how this would work the first time I tried it, but they go all crunchy and nutty and really make the dish. Also, no chili!
Gently fry 3tbsp toor dal, 1tsp mustard seeds, and 10 curry leaves in 2tbsp oil until the dal is golden and the seeds pop.
Add 1 tsp of finely chopped ginger and stir.
Add 2tsp ground coriander, 1tsp ground cumin and 1/2 tsp ground turmeric and stir well.
Add 500g of cubed pumpkin (I used butternut) and a tsp of salt with water to almost cover. Stir well and put on lid to simmer until pumpkin is soft.
The chicken dish was my first try at Butter Chicken. I didn't follow the Worlds best butter chicken recipe that has a thread all to itself on this forum, because I had what looked like a very easy Ainsley Harriott recipe that I wanted to try. I don't know if I had copied it out wrong, but I started getting worried and went back to the worlds best thread, and asked advice from my sister, and tinkered around a bit. But it came out delicious! And once I have streamlined it, it will be very easy: fry the onions, seal the chicken, pour over a garlicky, spicy (plenty of chili) cream/yoghurt mix and stick in the oven until cooked. It was the stand out dish of the night!
So hooray! I am calling myself up to date and am ready to face December!

I made fruit mince back whenever we did preserves and have done mini cakes and puds for gifts.
Does that give me a "Get out of gaol free" card?

Re: Wouldn't it be cool?
Are we still on for making edible gifts come 1st December?
As said made fruit mince, mini puds and cakes (and preserved lemons) when we had our preserving "challenge".
Can still do pesto, chutney, flavoured oils and (perhaps) shortbread (traditional and the Greek version- it depends on the temperature and the humidity-, spiced nuts, Frizz's caramelised onions, herbed feta and herbed olives.
Are we on or not?
I'll be making them regardless.

Nine Questions with FamHistFinderMonday, February 1st, 2010
The Salt Lake City area probably has more professional genealogists per capita than just about any metropolitan area in the US. So it comes as no surprise that Genlighten has several lookup providers who live near the LDS Church's Family History Library and know its resources well. Barbara Smythe is one of them. She joined our provider network only recently and already offers an extensive collection of vital record lookups covering eight states plus Chicago and Manhattan.
From FamHistFinder's Profile
Barbara has a BA in Social Science and Library Science. She's been a school librarian and teacher of reading and geography in Kansas, California, Hong Kong and China.
Nine questions with Barbara
1) How did you get started doing genealogy lookups/research?
About thirty years ago a close friend asked me to help her find out something about her mother and we both became hooked. We lived in Southern California where there was a National Archives and several good libraries. We then began doing family history for friends and family, we have never stopped.
2) Do you have a genealogy superpower? If so, what is it?
My "superpower" is my husband of 53 years. He is an historian and will always go to libraries with me and do his research as long as I want to do mine. We once spent 27 days at the Library of Congress, and have been to many of the State Historical Libraries. I'm a detail person and never tire of going from one lead to another in order to solve a problem, and I love huge libraries.
3) Describe a tricky research problem you're particularly proud of having solved?
A friend said that his wife, who was adopted as a baby, wanted to find who her birth parents were. All she knew was when and where she was born. She was adopted soon after her birth. I was taking a trip to the Salt Lake Family History Library and there I started looking at birth records for a female baby born on the date and place given. There were two girls born that day, one with the right first name, but no father mentioned. I then looked for the mother in the census. I found her with her parents at a younger age and found her marriage later, tracked her down in the same town where she still lives.
The problem was how to get in touch with her. Do you just call one day and ask if she had put a baby girl up for adoption 50 years ago? I took the information back to my friend, and he said that his wife had decided since her adoptive parents were still alive and lived close to them that she would not try to find her birth parents. I am pretty sure that my information was correct, but will never know whether this lady ever used that information to find her birth mother.
4) What are the ideal elements you like to see in a well-formulated lookup request/research query?
It is always important to have a specific goal. Give names, places, dates and any clue about the people who the person is looking for. If they know where the people are during a census year, it is great to have siblings and other people who might be living with the family on a census.
5. What's the most interesting record source or repository you've utilized in your area?
The Salt Lake Family History Library.
6) What technical tools (hardware, software) do you use to produce the digital images you provide to clients?
Desktop PC with Windows Vista. HP Deskjet 4480 (3 in One, Printer, Scanner, Copier).
7. Any new lookups you're considering offering?
Any lookup which can be answered with records from the Salt Lake Family History Library.
8. What advice would you give to someone who wants to get started as a lookup provider?
Live near a large library or repository that has a great number of records.
9. What other passions do you pursue when you're not at the archives doing lookups/research?
I'm always working on my own and my husband's family history. I am a member of a local chapter of the Daughter's of the American Revolution and help prospective members and friends with their applications for joining the DAR. I have done the research for 14 DAR applications which have been accepted.

just the two of us
Starbucks always makes me think of working hard. I studied for all my board exams in Starbucks-es, from Step I at that Starbucks on 103nd and Broadway all the way up through my Anesthesia Oral Boards at the location on Monroe and 8th. The difference between Starbucks-es in New York and Atlanta, by the way? The Starbucks-es in New York serve you much, much faster.
I also wrote my entire book at the Starbucks on 29th and Park, which if you need to do work is (or at least was five years ago) an ideal Starbucks--huge, a preponderance of large tables, with a strip of power outlets around the entire outer wall. Oh, another difference between Starbucks-es in New York versus Atlanta? People bring work to Starbucks-es in Atlanta of course, but usually it's more like a rest stop, or a place to have some coffee and kill time between appointments or tasks. In New York, people set up shop. I read once in an article that Starbucks aimed to make their coffee shop locations into "virtual living rooms," places where people can kind of hang out in an armchair and meet with friends--hopefully buying large quantities of overpriced food in the process--and I think that there's likely no place where this is more true than in New York, where a lot of people frankly don't have actual full-sized living rooms in their apartments.
I mean, I brought my laptop there, and maybe my bookbag, a manuscript envelope, assorted miscellany. But there were people who brought full desktop computers (24-inch monitor AND the tower), the entire contents of their law library, extra desk lamps for those darker corners of the store. During my final year of residency when I was trying to finish my book by the July 1st deadline, I would take one day per weekend that I wasn't on call, leave Cal with Joe, set up base camp in one corner of that Starbucks and just sit there for eight, ten hours at a time. I would buy one coffee and get something cheap(er) but filling, like an egg salad sandwich. And then I would sit there and bust ass, looking up only occasionally if something interesting was happening, like the police coming in to extract homeless people that refused to get out of the bathroom--something that happened with alarming frequency. When I left, usually in the early afternoon, my hair and clothes would reek of smoke from the coffee roaster, as though I'd just smoked a billion cigarettes.
This has been Starbucks Talk. I'm your host, Michelle Au.
Anyway, the point of this post was not to talk about Starbucks (and it goes without saying that I have no affiliation with Starbucks, not only because I don't run paid ads on this blog but because this is such a small blog that STARBUCKS DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT I SAY), but to catch you up on Mack.
When I decided to go part-time, one of the first things that pushed me to consider scaling back at work was the fact that Cal was already halfway out the door to college, but the things that made me actually decide to make the leap was Mack. Because see, the thing with Mack is that...he's fine. He's always just fine. Cal's the oldest, so he often gets a lot of attention because of his school and activities (Cal recently joined the Lego Robotics team at school, and to say that Mack is inelegantly jealous would be kind); and of course Nina gets a lot of attention because she's a baby and needs us to do every damn thing for her. But Mack? Mack is always OK. He can do a lot of stuff for himself. He can play nicely by himself or with his siblings. A lot of the things he needs (a glass of milk, help reaching something high) Cal can often troubleshoot, and does, especially if I'm tied up doing something like cooking dinner or putting the baby down. He's happy, he's pleasant, he's not really that high-maintenance for a four year-old. And that's how I think he ends up getting ignored a lot. Classic middle-child syndrome.
And the thing with Mack is that he's just so reassuring with how normal he is. Cal was by all accounts kind of a weird child (he's much better now, warm and social and adaptable in ways we could only dream of when he was Mack's age, when he was...less so those things) but Mack has always been like the textbook illustration of Boy in Early Childhood. He like sports and wrestling with dad. He plays pretend and makes up little playlets with his stuffed animals and action figures. He's sunny and affectionate and snuggly and fun. Even his drawings are textbook--every human looks like a happy scarecrow with vertigo, all stick limbs with five fingers on each hand, clubby feet, smiley face. Every house has a chimney, every flower has six petals, and there's always a sun with beams shooting out in the corner.
(The reason that I make such a big deal about the drawings is that Cal's drawings at this age were--well, they were pretty weird. He was always good at drawing inanimate objects or landscapes, but when it came to drawing people, his drawings were just odd. Even when he was five and beyond, he'd sometimes draw people missing limbs, sometimes missing heads, and when he did draw a head it would be tiny, like a pinhead, with no face on it. NO FACE. What the hell, young Cal? Anyway, long story short I started introducing Cal to comics and gave him a little key of facial expressions so that he could draw his own comics and so the reader would be able to infer the mood of each character and thus the thrust of the story. So that's not an issue anymore, but still, I will admit that there was a period of time where I was worried that this was the first sign that we were raising some kind of sociopath who was unable to read human emotion or something.)
(And yes, I also see how telling it is that I just spent a paragraph talking about Cal in a entry that I ostensibly started to talk about Mack, but see, that's the thing! Cal was so weird and attention consuming! And Mack is so normal and easy! That's exactly why it's so easy to set him on autopilot-parenting and exactly why he's going to quit his tutoring job and join a violence gang because his parents never paid attention to him! I mean, probably!)
One of my main goals now that I have more time is to spend some time with Mack, just the two of us, one-on-one. I had to take him to the dentist two weeks ago, an expedition that I billed as our "special day" (in that yes, we were going to the dentist, but he could skip school for the rest of the day and afterwards we could go the playground and then have lunch together wherever he wanted! And also: free toothbrush!) and the degree to which he was excited about his "special day" with me was unreal. He talked about it literally every day for the weeks leading up to the appointment, and he seemed to especially relish the fact that it would be just for him, that Cal would have to go to school and that Nina would have to stay home, and weren't they going to be so jealous? There really was nothing that extravagant about the day at all, so the special thing for him wasn't so much the activities or skipping school or the Chick-Fil-A for lunch, as the fact that it happened at all. For half a day, he was my only kid.
So anyway, something that I've committed to doing is to try and have a special day with Mack about once a month--or at the very least, a special morning or afternoon. We'll just do something low-key--making Rice Krispie treats, going to the playground, doing an art project--but just something that we can do alone without Cal being there asserting his own superiority in gluing pompoms ("I used to do it like that when I was four too, Mack...but you'll get better at it. I mean, probably.") or without Nina there needing all of my everything. And maybe we won't even need a dentist appointment as an excuse to do it.
Parenthood, right?

Love the blog! Glad you are getting some free time from work to spend with Mack. Looks like you are doing an excellent job with parenthood. I can relate to Cal because I was like him as a child and I think I turned out just fine. I actually have a drawing of me and my husband I sketched without our faces!ReplyDelete
You appreciate this now, but let me tell you, you are really going to be glad you are taking this time with him when he's a teenager. There is nothing that makes for easy teen years as the relationship built when they are small. It seems to be the make or break line with a lot of kids.ReplyDelete

That's great that you're planning special time with Mack. I recently read the book Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/458479.Siblings_Without_RivalryReplyDelete
And in it, it recommended that it was important for each child to get one-on-one time with each parent somewhat consistently. In our child psychiatry lecture, they recommended each child have at least two hours of special time per week with each parent within which to do what the child wanted to do that was fun for the child. This was recommended to be discipline and lecture free time, and sibling free time. Other books recommend going on a trip with teenage children one-on-one as the child gets older.
Blink and he'll be gone. Nina, too. I know people always say this, and I've been hearing it for the past 16 years since I became a mom, but somehow it didn't really dent my psyche at the time. Suddenly I'm having a bit of existential crisis about the little time left before my babies are gone. How come it felt like this was how it would be for as long as you can imagine?! Why didn't I have like 15 kids, spread over 30 years, so I could, you know, never have to move on from this phase of my life?! And what the heck is there ahead that compares to how awesome being a mom raising my kids? I hope there's something, because in less than five years I'll be home alone while The Hubs is überoccupied with his first year as a "real doctor" (post fellowship) and my little birds have flown away to college and whatnot. I suppose there will be some nice things about it (eg: instead of working really crazyproductive flights that get my hours in as quickly as possible so I can get back home to my kids, I can do those cushy layover trips in tropical places.), but all the sudden the thought of how quickly that future time will be upon me is causing me angst. I love every stage of mothering...there are sweet aspects of every age. But I can't imagine being a grandmother is as wonderful as being The Mom. So, trying not to be too clingy now. But yeah, good you're keying into this now. You've still got some time. ♥ReplyDelete
Oh wow. I really liked this whole Cal/Mack thing, but I really LOVE that you are back to writing more! Also my son is 22, and daughter is 15. She's needy, he has always been way too independent and I let him be. I wish every day I had let him be more of a kid, and less of a responsible big brother. So good on you.ReplyDelete
- Emily10:05 PM
That is so adorable. I was an oldest kid but all I remember is the stricter rules, not any extra attention! I'm LOVING that you're blogging more again-you are one of the funniest writers I've read and I hope that getting to spend more time with your family (notice that I didn't say working part-time, I know this is still a full-time job!) has been working out for you all.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:14 AM
As a classic middle child from a gang of six, I was JUST like Mack. This didn't ever happen in my past...and yet I survived, but I totally would have loved this!) No kid ever grows up wishing mom had spent more time at work.ReplyDelete
Love your parenting; love your writing. SO glad you're back. Seems you've found that elusive balance. Kudos. You sound like an awesome mom.
Totally great, thanks!!ReplyDelete
Okay, I'm a 28-year old middle child, and I STILL treasure time I spend one-on-one with my parents. My mom came to visit me last year (just me! not my sister! no one else!) and I think I talked about it incessantly for a month. I'm so happy to read that you're carving out special time for Mack -- enjoy!!!ReplyDelete

Yes, parenthood. It's hard. You're doing a great job. My MIL was one of eight. She was second youngest, so #6 of 8. Her father lived a long fruitful life. They were immigrants and settled in the suburbs of a major American city. 'Til this day she randomly talks about how she longed as a little girl for her father to just spend some time with her alone the two of them. All she wanted was for him to hold her hand and walk with her in the neighborhood just the two of them. It never happened. She is a very needy wife. I think the child parent relationship is very important for better or worst. I am fortunate to be a stay at home mom. My husband works insane surgery hours. We are far from family. My "baby" (almost a year old) gets what I thought was "alot" of attention. My oldest is so demanding with her attention (it's usually negative attention). I do notice everyone (myself included) feels more balanced when each child gets a little time just me and that child. So very important to create those bonds. I'm glad to hear others say this will help in the teenage years. Looking back on my own teenage years sounds about right. Can't wait for you to post your NEXT Mack "date". He looks like such a sweet and smart little guy. :) Thanks for sharing. I can totally relate to you and your feelings.ReplyDelete
- Wellesley0610:38 PM
As the middle child of 3 siblings, I really appreciate your blog post and think it's wonderful you're making the effort to spend more time with Mack.ReplyDelete
I'm in my late 20s now but in the last few years, I've had my father and grandmother each separately say to me that they both recognize that I kinda got the short end of the stick because I was the middle child. It was kind of nice to be acknowledged but sad too.
- Anonymous9:44 PM
This is a bit random, but are those Instagram photos I see? What service do you use to print them out?ReplyDelete
On a note that's actually related to this post, I echo the comments about carving out time for middle kids. I am one myself and remember feeling left behind as a kid. Thanks for acknowledging it with Mack.

Every day about 500 agricultural workers suffer lost-time injuries, and 25 of them result in permanent impairment, according to the National Agriculture Statistics Service.
Agriculture is one of the most hazardous industries, with an increased risk of both fatal and non-fatal injuries. And it's one of the most hazardous jobs for youth.
Last month the U. S. Department of Labor announced proposed rules that would help ensure the safety of youth on farms. But, the devil is in the details, as farm advocates claim the proposals are far too restrictive.
The DOL says its proposed rules would "strengthen the safety requirements for young workers employed in agriculture and related fields." The revisions, the first since 1970, would impact the Fair Labor Standards Act that currently bars young workers from certain tasks, and are intended to bring restrictions on young agricultural workers more in line with those that already exist for young people working in other industries.
The DOL published the Proposed Rules on September 2, and the comment period ends November 1.
In a prepared statement, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said, "Children employed in agriculture are some of the most vulnerable workers in America. Ensuring their welfare is a priority of the department, and this proposal is another element of our comprehensive approach."
Specifically, the new rules would prohibit farm workers under age 16 from participating in the cultivation, harvesting and curing of tobacco. And it would prohibit youth in both agricultural and non-agricultural employment from using electronic, including communication, devices while operating power-driven equipment.
There is also a new non-agricultural hazardous occupations order proposed that would prevent minors under 18 from being employed in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials. Prohibited places of employment would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feedlots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.
The proposal also would prohibit farm workers under 16 from operating almost all power-driven equipment. A limited exemption would allow some student learners to operate certain farm implements and tractors, when equipped with proper rollover protection and seat belts, under specified conditions.
At first glance the rules seem to be an effort to reduce youth accidents. But many in agriculture say the proposed rules are another example of over-reach by the federal government.

Light 525
Exposing the skin to sunlight, and particularly to UV rays, triggers a protective reaction by melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin colouring.
With age, the skin loses its glow, transparency and radiance, and brown spots can appear.
To solve these problems, TALIKA laboratories, experts in specific beauty care, present, in partnership with researchers at the Paris Hospitals, a revolutionary lightening and anti-spot treatment by light: Light525 skin lightener®.
TALIKA laboratories have designed light 525®, a portable device whose light wave (525 nm) regulates the production of melanin, responsible for skin colouring.
The skin becomes more radiant, glowing and lighter and brown spots are diminished: the skin is younger-looking.
How light works in lightening treatments
- Spectrum + drawing
Light is composed of particles that travel at 300,000km/second, whilst vibrating at a variable frequency.
The low frequencies of these vibrations correspond to invisible waves (radio, satellite, etc.).
If the frequency increases, it becomes detectable to our eyes and enters the realm of visible light (which is composed of a series of colours, from orange to violet).
Beyond a certain frequency, we talk of ultra-violet light, and if we increase it even further, we reach the field of very high energy: X rays and then gamma rays.
- Light 525®, the caring light source.
In the 1970s, NASA, thanks to its experience with space flight, revealed that the cell metabolism is reanimated by visible light. This property of animal cells to respond positively to light makes them similar to plant cells, which cannot live without sunlight: in the same way as during the plant photosynthesis process, light comes into contact with the cells and activates their metabolism.
With the appearance of new light sources such as light590® and light525®, created in the wake of gentle pulsed light, cosmetics is entering a new era.
The principle of light 590® and light525®: use the light rays corresponding to a spread of pure colours ranging from blue to red. These rays, with no heat source, emitted by diodes, activates the cells deep down and obtains spectacular results. Light590® treats wrinkles by reactivating collagen and elastin production.
Light 525 skin lightener®: clinically proven effectiveness
TALIKA laboratories have therefore designed light525®, a portable device that continuously emits a precise frequency (525 nm) in a controlled manner, to prevent and reduce brown spots and lighten the skin.
Melanocytes synthesise melanin pigments, which are responsible for skin colouring. When melanin is produced regularly and constantly, skin pigmentation is uniform.
With the combined effects of skin ageing and UV rays, melanin production can be affected. The skin loses its glow and, over time, brown spots appear up to 2cm in diameter. They are generally found on the face, hands and forearms.
Moreover, over the age of 50, the skin undergoes transformations that change the appearance of the pigment spots. The skin becomes thinner. The melanocytes, highly concentrated in dark pigments, get closer to the skin surface and are therefore more visible.
- After 30 days: -30% pigmentation
- After 60 days: -46% pigmentation
Effectiveness on 100% of treated subjects
* average effectiveness proven
Position 3 cm away from the zone to be treated.
Quick: 2 minutes a day (1 minute in the morning and 1 minute in the evening).
