Weekly Chat 6/16-6/22
Good morning! On the other DDC's I've been a part of we've always had a weekly chat thread. I figured I'd start one :)
The three oldest kids are at swimming lessons this morning, so it's quiet in the house (except the 1 year old toddling around). We aren't big on enrolling the kids in organized activities, but I feel like swimming is good to know for safety reasons. I nannied for a family when I was in my 20's and their kids were involved in a zillion activities. Seriously, they were in Tae Kwon Do, Baton, Ballet, Italian Club, Gymnastics, and random play groups. The twins were 6 years old! Poor things were exhausted by the end of the day and had to do their homework before bed. I swore that when I had kids I would not do that to them. To each his own though...different strokes for different folks (I'm not judging or hatin').
The heat has definitely settled in here in the South! Whew!
Good morning! Great idea, cagnew--thanks for getting us started.
I'm hanging out at work. It's a fairly slow week, so there's not too much to distract me, which is a shame since I am FEELING IT this morning. I'm kind of wishing for your heat, though, since this hermetically-sealed office building runs very cool and seems only to get cooler when temps rise outside! I guess it's going to be a hot one, but I won't have any clue until I step outside at the end of the day.
Overscheduling children is not my thing, either. As a matter of fact, we probably lean a little too hard to the other end of the spectrum and our kids barely ever do organized activities at all. :) Their dad (who is home with them 4 days/week) is great about taking them all kinds of little field trips and stuff, but they do lack for structured, regularly-meeting things to do. We keep talking about swimming lessons, though, so hopefully we'll get on track with that at some point this summer. I always said that I wanted my children in only one activity (or perhaps an absolute maximum of two) at any given time, so I suppose by leaving them at zero all the time, I am just... weighting our average nice and low?!
Good morning, ladies.
Nice day here in Western Mass. Hopefully the strawberries will ripen this week! All the other garden goodies are looking great!
I discovered my calla lilies popping through yesterday. I planted them back in April, so am so thankful to see the life force starting to shine.
Just heard word that our marriage license is ready to be picked up. Nearly to the no turning back zone. If mother nature cooperates, Saturday morning, bright and early, we'll be launching in a hot air balloon to say our "I Do's", and share our intentions. Excited is an understatement, but the anticipation is bearable, in comparison to the anticipation of this first trimester seeing its way through.
I was stung by a wasp in the middle of the night. That wasn't pleasant. No, not at all...
But I'm enjoying a quiet household this morning, doing some cleaning before getting out to play.
We're a very unstructured clan. Through the years, I wonder if that's a good thing, or not. I love to be homebound, so my kids often are, too. They played some sports when they were younger, but never really gravitated toward them. I am a firm believer in not pushing kids, thinking that's just exhausting for the mom, and the little lads. If they're interested in something, I support it. If they're not, we just hang out until something piques their curiosity. Some times there are LOOOOOOONG bouts of non motivation. Just yesterday, though, my nearly 16 year old son came home really really excited to apply for a job at as an assistant to the instructor at a lego robotics club in a local town. He got right to work on his resume and application, and offered to bike one way every day to help out with the ride situation (a 15 mile bike ride from a boy who fell off his bike 3 years ago, and has not peddled since!). YES!!!! Movement from the unmotivated!
Here's to fast work days, and quiet mornings!!
I would like another 5 degrees of warmth for comfort But I will wait another week for our perfect summers to start.
I tink organized activities are good but I don't plan on doing more than one activity on the schedule at a time.
My youngest is Finally old enough to do swimming lessons without me in the pool so I need to get him signed up for thst this summer too. Definitely want my kids to be comfortable in the water.
HappyDay- I would be totally proud of a 16 year old who offered to ride his bike for a job. That is some amazing motivation!
We are all coming off of a stomach issue and I am totally getting cabin fever in here. My kids need some outside play time but I need to give them a couple more days away. This bug was nasty and I don't want to infect anyone else.
I anxious to see the doctor but only because I want to get my official referral to the OB who will be seeing me the rest of the time. I hate the long process the military sends you though in order to actually see the dr. I will be in the second tri before I see him.
Most of my day was spent running my 18yo around. He went to a job fair and then to do some things to get ready for college in the fall. My 5yo is sick with a bad cough that is making him pretty lethargic.
We aren't too big on activities around here until the child shows interest. Outside of our every other week homeschool group (that only meets during the school year), we do summer swimming. That's what we are in the swing of here. I am not a big fan (it eats up everyday for 8 weeks), but the kids love it and need to learn this life skill. There have been a few random bouts of skating and acting classes, but they were short-lived. I won't allow more than 1 activity at a time, if it ever came to that. With 4... Yikes! It'd be too much to do much more!!!
happyday, we got our first bunches of strawberries last week. SOOOO Yummy! I hope yours are just as good! Good luck on the wedding ceremony! Hot air balloon?! Sounds sooo awesome!
Like I said, we are doing swimming lessons every day. So all of my days before noon are eaten up and I don't really feel like I am having enough time to just be this summer. I have to work on it. Tomorrow, we are looking through a house for a second time. I am REALLY hopeful that it is THE house! We have been looking for 3 years now and it is about time we find one! Especially with #4 on the way!!!! It has taken us so long because we are specifically looking for a decent house (modest, not a mansion and not a falling apart home) on over an acre. Our plan is to start our homesteading dreams as soon as we close. It'd be really great if this is the house because it has the best lot we have seen and is in the ideal location!
Good luck on the house search Jodie, we are just coming off of that, real estate is a frustrating game. By accident we found an old farmhouse for rent, from a friend of the family. We've got as much land to work with as we want, and we pay a very manageable amount to live in a four bedroom, super beautiful farmhouse. It's great- gives us the chance to start our homesteading and not have so much pressure to BUY the perfect place. We feel like we have an "in" now, since our rural neighbors have taken a liking to us, and are keeping their ears to the ground for property as well.
Honestly, our "landlord" lets us do whatever we like, and keep whatever livestock we like, so we are pretty happy here!
I am envious of you ladies, sounds like you all have broods of little ones- I can't wait until we have a few kids running around here! I love DS #1 , but he grew up with a single mama, stressed and in the city. Even he has changed living out here in the open…I can't wait to see him be a big brother.
How do you ladies manage your own personal time with the needs/activities of the little ones? Will I be completely giving up my interests once i have more than one small in the house?
Our swimming lessons are at 7am so they don't take up the whole day but, whew! It has been hard to get up and get everyone to the pool that early. It's only 9 days though.
With regards to personal time... I think every woman is different. I have more time now with 4 kids than I did with 1 or 2. I think because the oldest three can dress themselves and pick up after themselves. And they play together so I don't have to really entertain them.
It might also depend on how many hobbies you have too. If you do a lot you will most likely have to scale back a bit. If your DH is supportive and helpful with the kids then I think you'll still have me-time. I notice that high energy people seem to find time to a zillion things! It amazes me. I have an acquaintance who has 6 kids, 5 of which are under 8. She is involved in a bunch of stuff, works on their little farm, and makes/sells her own natural products. I think her DH watches the kids a lot for her. I can't imagine doing that much!
I am starting a brand new job as a nurse. I just graduated from nursing school so I definitely have a lot going on now with a pregnancy. In addition, we are also looking for a new house to buy and get rid of the one we have.
I'm just nervous of having morning sickness while I am trying to orient as a new nurse. I will take the Zofran if I have to. I didn't take anything last pregnancy (except for Prilosec due to severe GERD and also of course a prenatal) but I may not have much choice this time around.
Buying a house and new job and pregnant, wow, you are a super duper mom! Keep us posted and remember to breathe:laugh:
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
We had a 7:30 a.m. ultrasound today. Start the day off right. The nurse turned the monitor and I saw TWO.
That's right, twins. I'm freaking out. Just 5w5d. Going back in two weeks to look for heartbeats. It's going to be the longest two weeks ever.
Wow iixivboots, what a momentous discovery ( and I imagine, huge shock)- wishes of strength and wellbeing to you and your family.
Our summer routine is underway. I work full time with adults who have developmental disabilities as a support person and art teacher. rewarding, and also, especially these first trimester days, emotionally exhausting. DP is a field biologist, so is often out and about, and our DS is spending days with my dad between preschool and kindergarten.
Days are very (wonder)full, looking forward to going part time mid July to have more time with DS, and making more of my own work (I'm a printmaker) once DS starts school.
Everyone is so busy!! New homes, new careers, new activities, new babies. How wonderful.
iixivboots, CONGRATULATIONS! That's so exciting! You must be absolutely blown away! Lots of good wishes to all five of you. :)
I'm taking off work early this afternoon for a dating ultrasound, and then going straight to our family's annual cabin-in-the-mountains weekend. It's going to be the longest work day everrrrrr. Not sure what it means for this pregnancy that I am already fairly routinely counting the hours before I get to go home each day!
Dreaming tree: congrats on the new job! My mom has been a nurse for over 30 years and still loves it.
Tee: have fun this weekend! We are meeting the in laws in July for a few days in a cabin in the smokies. I love the mountains.
iixiboots: Congrats! I'm so jealous, lol :) I'd love twins but they don't run in my family. Anyway, what a fantastic surprise!
I think I could handle twins this time around ha! If it's going to be hard may as well do it all at once right? I think my mother-in-law would just retire and come live with me.
My son keeps saying he wants a "boy sister." And daddy wants two boys.
I am not a fan of the 5 o'clock hour but somehow I always end up awake during it. My kid just doesn't like to sleep in. Maybe this summer I can get her on a better schedule keeping her busy with summer fun and less sleeping during the day.
You ladies have some exciting things going on in life!
Congrats to everyone on all the pregnancies and life changes!
The OB practice I'm using doesn't do the first visit until 8 weeks and doesn't do a dating ultrasound until between 10 and 11 weeks, so I will have to wait to find out all that info. But, there was a time when women didn't find out anything until the birth date, so I'm sure we can make it a few weeks. I also worry about an ultrasound so soon because I think that they might be more dangerous than we are lead to believe. I mean, they use them to break down muscles for healing purposes, so how is it that they don't affect a developing fetus? I don't know how that works.
Also, working on caffeine withdrawals over here. I quit all caffeine the day I found out, I'm on day 5 of withdrawal and I think I'm just starting to get some mental energy back so I'm going to tackle some housework and laundry today.
Crazy story -
We haven't told DS (3.5) that I'm pregnant, and we just found out ourselves yesterday. Out of nowhere this morning, while he and DH were playing, DS says, "We're going to have a baby here soon."
And now that I think about it, about a week ago he told me he was going to have a sister named "Oggie." Not so sure about the name, but he could be right about having a sister!
7 Attachment(s)
This week has been a bit of a roller-coaster thanks to raging hormones. My husband deploys this week and we've been able to spend a lot of time together as a family. I was PG the last time my husband deployed, but was through the first trimester. My fatigue gets worse each week, so I think we'll be eating lots of sprouted sandwiches for dinner! Cooking is my creative outlet and DH usually gives DDs their wrestling time while I make dinner.
But tonight was just awesome. We had the best thunderstorm. The rain was just roaring and we had to yell over each other. Our home has a screened in porch so we took DD1 out and just read, prayed, and sang in the storm. It really was a perfect night.
You all have so much going on in your lives! This thread may be my favorite-- it is so nice to hear what other women have going on and how they are (or even aren't) taking it in stride.
That sound so amazing! I miss thunderstorms so much.
Hate to hear of deployment, booooo!!!
Is anybody or has anybody in the past dealt with cold feet at bedtime? I have never experienced this and have been googling like crazy but not finding many answers. I'm really not a fan of this new symptom!
Ugh! My 5yo has been sick the last few days. Now I am sick too.
Luckiest, I love that story about your son! My son is 22 months and we ordered him a "big brother" book he loves and he goes around saying "brutha brutha brutha." Good thing, too since he's going to have two new sibs. :)
Dreamingtree, thanks for asking about my symptoms. They are not that intense. Just fatigue and hunger and thirst that are a lot more intense than I remember with my son, and I've already gained a little weight and feel my uterus getting heavy and twingy. Last time my morning sickness didn't start until 9 weeks.
We are still in twinshock over here, for sure. Last night I woke up multiple times, you know like you do when there is some catastrophe. I was like "why am I waking up?" TWINS "go back to sleep." haha. It's going to kill me to wait for the heartbeat ultrasound. I really thought that we would have a higher chance of miscarriage with the twins but the clinic says it's the same, including the "vanishing twin" thing. The thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is if we see two heartbeats in two weeks, we are 95% sure going to have both those babies. Insane!
I'm so glad there are so many experienced mamas here. I am worried about making sure my son gets all the love, attention, and enrichment he needs as we go through this pregnancy and birth.
Not cold feet specifically but just cold in general! I feel constantly chilly and that is not usual for me.
Thank you for sharing those statistics! I didn't know that the rate of miscarriage and "vanishing twin" was the same as a singleton pregnancy. And after seeing heartbeats, 95% chance of having them! That is excellent news :)

TPWD News Release — Feb. 11, 2008
PRESIDIO, Texas — Photo buffs still struggling to master their digital cameras and photo editing software can improve their abilities at the spring digital photo workshop April 25-27 at Big Bend Ranch State Park in deep West Texas.
Workshop participants will journey to different scenic spots on the sprawling ranch to shoot photos of mountain vistas, desert water features and blooming Chihuahua Desert flora, abundant wildlife and the occasional longhorn.
Conducting the workshop is Jim Carr, a retired commercial photographer, who provides hands-on instruction on how to capture the best images and edit them on a computer. Carr has been conducting trail rides and photo workshops at the scenic 300,000-acre state park and working cattle ranch for more than 17 years. He says instruction is geared toward beginning and intermediate digital photo enthusiasts.
Workshop participants will learn how to properly light and compose a picture, and what to do with pictures after they've been taken, according to Carr. Instruction will touch on digital photo storage and organization, as well as how to delete, edit and resize the image for e-mailing, printing or posting on a Web site.
The $400 workshop cost includes meals, lodging, all park fees and transportation in connection with the on-site workshop. Workshop participants will meet at Fort Leaton State Historic Site in Presidio and be transported to Big Bend Ranch.
Participants meet at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 25, at Fort Leaton State Historic Site three miles east of Presidio on FM 170. The group will proceed to Sauceda, the ranch headquarters, to unpack and have a light lunch before heading out to take pictures. On both Friday and Saturday evenings after dinner, participants will assemble to look at the day's work and learn ways to correct image problems.
Sunday morning is reserved for a discussion about what to do with the hundreds of photos that have been taken. After lunch on Sunday, participants are free to take photos on their own anywhere on the ranch before heading home.
To register for the workshop, call Big Bend Ranch State Park at (432) 229-3416. For additional information about the workshops, call Carr at (281) 486-8070 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

LONDON — The escalating political crisis in Greece sent shockwaves through markets Thursday and fueled a sense of inevitability that the eurozone is about to face its first debt default.
While Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is preparing to reshuffle his government in an attempt to get austerity measures through Parliament, European policymakers expressed their dismay as they prepare for what could be a crucial meeting of EU leaders in a week's time.
"What we need most today, is unity," said French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "We have to leave the national fights behind us to find our sense of common destiny again."
As events unfolded and uncertainty grew, experts became increasingly convinced that some form of debt default by Greece is now inevitable.
If Papandreou does not get his austerity plan approved, the country won't get its next rescue loans and would have to renege on its debt obligations.
But in order to help Greece, some form of default may also be required. In recent weeks, Europe's top financial authorities have been at loggerheads over how to get private creditors to share the pain, a move experts say could be considered a default.
That could heap massive pressure on the continent's banks, particularly if investors become convinced that other bailout recipients Ireland and Portugal will be next.
A European Central Bank official warned that the EU's crisis bailout fund would have to double to €1.5 trillion ($2.1 trillion) if Greece fails to pays its debts, spreading financial turmoil.
Nout Wellink told Dutch paper Het Financieele Dagblad that "if you fall through the ice you better have a very large safety net."
European officials are talking about more aid to keep Greece from defaulting but the political chaos has thrown everything into question. And the uncertainty has hit sentiment in markets around the world.
"Talk of the bailout fund being doubled in size, a Greek government reshuffle, and Greek PM Papandreou offering to resign, doesn't offer a stable back drop for investors," said Michael Hewson, market analyst at CMC Markets.
Stock markets across Europe fell sharply on Thursday, a day after they suffered big losses as protests in Athens turned violent and Papandreou sought, but ultimately, failed to create a coalition government, even offering up his job in the bargain.
By late-morning London time, the euro was down at $1.4072 — its lowest level since May 26. Thursday's decline means that the single currency has fallen around four cents since Greece's government appeared to be on the verge of collapse Wednesday.
In Paris, Sarkozy urged other European leaders to find a compromise on Greece's debt crisis to stabilize the euro. The Greek crisis will likely be at the forefront of discussions between Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday.
Sarkozy said compromises to "preserve the stability of the eurozone were needed now....Because without stability, no growth is possible," Sarkozy said at a conference of international farmers.
The potential of a Greek debt default to inflict damage on France, Europe's second biggest economy, was evident Wednesday when Moody's warned that three of the country's biggest banks were at risk of a credit downgrade because of their exposure to Greek debt.
Ahead of another round of meetings of eurozone finance ministers and EU leaders next week, there's increasing speculation that a deal that involves the private sector sharing some of the bailout burden will have to be struck if Greece is to avoid default.
That's not proving to be easy, with Germany and the European Central Bank seemingly at loggerheads over the issue.
Another top ECB official, Juergen Stark, said the bank could envision involving bondholders, but stressed that any such step must be completely voluntary.
"We are not against involving the banks, not against involving the private sector in financing Greece, but it must be completely voluntary, otherwise it will have negative consequences for the financial markets and negative consequences possibly for other countries," said Stark, a member of the bank's six-member executive committee.
"It is not just about Greece, but also about the other countries that at the moment are likewise in EU and IMF programs."
Stark said he had sympathy for the viewpoint that taxpayers not be expected to fund all of the bailout efforts, but warned that the concern was the risk such a step would have for triggering serious financial market disruption.
"I have great understanding for this argument, that one demands burdensharing between taxpayers on the one side and the private sector on the other, but once again: it's about far reaching effects that must be kept in view, if one broaches such an idea and then carries it through to a political decision," Stark added.
David McHugh in Frankfurt, Toby Sterling in Amsterdam and Raf Casert in Paris contributed to this story.

Intracoronary optical coherence tomography and histology at 1 month and 2, 3, and 4 years after implantation of everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffolds in a porcine coronary artery model: An attempt to decipher the human optical coherence tomography images in the ABSORB trial
Background-: With the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT), alterations of the reflectance characteristics of everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) struts have been reported in humans. In the absence of histology, the interpretation of the appearances of the struts by OCT remains speculative. We therefore report OCT findings with corresponding histology in the porcine coronary artery model immediately after and at 28 days and 2, 3, and 4 years after BVS implantation. Methods and results-: Thirty-five polymeric BVS (3.0×12.0 mm) were singly implanted in the main coronary arteries of 17 pigs that underwent OCT and were then euthanized immediately (n=2), at 28 days (n=2), at 2 years (n=3), at 3 years (n=5), or at 4 years (n=5) after implantation. All BVS-implanted arteries in these animals were evaluated by histology except for 5 arteries examined at 2 years with gel permeation chromatography to assess the biodegradation of the polymeric device. Fourteen arteries with BVS from an additional 6 pigs were examined by gel permeation chromatography at 1 (n=1), 1.5 (n=2), and 3 (n=2) years. Corresponding OCT and histology images were selected with the distal and proximal radiopaque markers used as landmarks. At 28 days, by OCT, 82% of struts showed sharply defined, bright reflection borders, best described as a box-shaped appearance. Histologically, all struts appeared intact with no evidence of resorption. At 2 years, by OCT, 60±20 struts were discernible per BVS with 80.4% of the strut sites as a box-shaped appearance. Despite their defined appearance by OCT, by histology, these structures appeared to be composed of proteoglycan, with polymeric material being at such low level as to be no longer quantifiable by chromatography. At 3 years, by OCT, recognizable struts decreased to 28±9 struts per BVS: 43.7% showed dissolved black box; 34.8%, dissolved bright box; 16.1%, open box; and 5.4%, preserved box appearance. Histology shows that connective tissue cells within a proteoglycan-rich matrix replaced the areas previously occupied by the polymeric struts and coalesced into the arterial wall. At 4 years, by OCT, 10±6 struts were recognizable as either dissolved black or dissolved bright box. In histology, these struts are minimally discernible as foci of low-cellular-density connective tissue. Relative to the prediction of histological type by OCT appearance, the preserved box appearance of OCT corresponds well with 2-year histology (86.4%), whereas the dissolved bright and black box appearances correspond to 3-year histology (88.0% and 90.7%, respectively). Struts indiscernible by OCT correspond to the integrated strut footprints seen at 4 years (100%). Conclusions-: Struts that are still discernible by OCT at 2 years are compatible with largely bioresorbed struts, as demonstrated by histological and gel permeation chromatography analysis. At 3 and 4 years, both OCT and histology confirm complete integration of the struts into the arterial wall.

A revolutionary Super Bowl commercial will allow you to order underwear, modeled by David Beckham, with your remote.
In the first Super Bowl ad of its kind, viewers watching on a Samsung Smart TV will see the H&M ad featuring buffed and barely clothed Beckham modeling the retail company's underwear line-then, the magic happens. A menu will pop up on the side of the screen during the commercial that allows you to instantly shop with your remote.
"If we're successful in what we're trying to do, you'll be able to buy anything against any commercial, any show, any infomercial you watch in real time directly, while you're watching the actual ad or the show itself," Michael Fitzsimmons, Delivery Agent CEO, told ABC News.
This modern day TV-watching was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan. 5 along with other techy tubes such as a "bendable" TV, curved TV's and even higher than high-def TV's.
"If we're dreaming and we can do a bendable TV, why can't we do a roll-up TV?," Samsung's executive vice president, Joe Stinziano, suggested.

TURMOIL IN THE MIDEAST: THE PRESIDENT; Bush Gives Qualified Support for Israel's Strikes
By JIM RUTENBERG
Published: July 14, 2006
President Bush gave qualified support on Thursday for Israel's strikes on Lebanon, telling reporters gathered here for his visit with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, ''Israel has a right to defend herself.''
Mr. Bush placed the blame for the tensions squarely on Syria for housing leaders of Hezbollah.
Even as he cautioned Israel to be careful not to destabilize the young democracy in Lebanon, Mr. Bush's position immediately put him at odds with European nations just before the annual summit meeting of the Group of 8 economic powers.
The European Union and the French government each released statements calling Israel's naval blockade of Lebanon and its shelling of the Beirut airport a ''disproportionate use of force'' in retaliation for Hezbollah's shelling of Israel across the Lebanon border.
The shelling was apparently a diversionary tactic that was followed by the capture of two Israeli soldiers and the killing of eight others.
''The imposition of an air and sea blockade on Lebanon cannot be justified,'' the European Union said in a statement.
''The concern,'' Mr. Bush said, ''is that any activities by Israel to protect herself will weaken that government. Having said all that, people need to protect themselves. There are terrorists who will blow up innocent people in order to achieve tactical objectives.''
Mr. Bush had called the Hezbollah actions ''pathetic.''
An official familiar with talks between the United States and Israel said the Americans had emphasized to Israel the importance of avoiding any refugee crisis.
The official, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations, said the Americans had also asked Israel to be careful not to destroy governmental organizations or to press Prime Minister Fouad Siniora to enter the situation.
Mr. Bush made his comments after a ceremony with Mrs. Merkel where he was presented with a traditional local gift in the town square here, a barrel of herring, and hours before he was scheduled to go to a barbeque with a freshly slaughtered wild boar served in his honor.
In his question-and-answer session with reporters, Mr. Bush joked about that dinner, kidding in response to a double-barreled question on the growing crisis and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
''I thought you were going to ask me about the pig,'' Mr. Bush said.
Hours later in nearby Heiligendamm, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, briefed reporters to re-emphasize the message that Israel should show some restraint and avoid civilian casualties or steps that could destabilize Mr. Siniora's democratically elected government, which includes Hezbollah members.
''It is extremely important that Israel exercise her restraint in its activities of self-defense,'' Ms. Rice said.
Speaking to reporters, she pointed to a way out of the crisis through the return of the abducted soldiers.
The administration has hostile relations with the two nations perceived to have the most influence on Hezbollah, Syria and Iran. Ms. Rice singled them out for ''encouraging and, indeed in the case of Syria, sheltering the very people who are perpetrating these acts.''
That has left the administration to rely on other diplomatic efforts in the region to help find a solution, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas. But none of those has great influence over the Hezbollah leadership.
The United States could also find help from Germany. Mrs. Merkel on Thursday took a similar, if more measured line, as Mr. Bush.
''The parties to that conflict obviously have to use proportionate means,'' she said. ''But I am not at all for sort of blurring the lines between the root causes and the consequences of an action. There has to be a good reaction now, not from the Israeli government, but from those who started these attacks in the first place.''
Mr. Hadley said Mr. Bush would most likely take a larger role, and Ms. Rice said he would certainly discuss the situation at the Group of 8 meeting in St. Petersburg.
Ms. Rice and Mr. Hadley also said they were placing hope in the United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, who said he was dispatching Terje Roed-Larsen and Alvaro de Soto, Middle East advisers, and Mr. Annan's special political adviser, Vijay Nambiar, to the region to urge restraint on all sides.
The three diplomats plan to visit Cairo first to see Egyptian leaders and Arab League foreign ministers meeting there on Saturday. They are then expected to go to Israel, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Syria and other destinations ''as needed,'' a statement said.
The Lebanon topic is scheduled to occupy the Security Council on Friday after Beirut requested an emergency meeting. The Lebanese mission to the United Nations called on the Council to issue a ''firm, comprehensive and immediate resolution to establish a cease-fire and to lift the siege on Lebanon.''
U.S. Vetoes Criticism of Israel
(By The New York Times)
UNITED NATIONS, July 13 -- The United States used its veto power on Thursday to block a Security Council resolution that would accuse Israel of a ''disproportionate use of force.''
John R. Bolton, the American ambassador, exercised the veto after failing in an effort to deny the resolution the nine votes needed for adoption.
The resolution drew 10 votes on the 15-member panel, with Britain, Denmark, Peru and Slovakia abstaining. The measure, drafted by Qatar, the Arab representative on the Council, demanded that Israel halt military operations, release Palestinian prisoners, restore fuel supplies and replace destroyed power plant equipment.
In an effort to achieve balance, language was added condemning the abduction of an Israeli soldier and the firing of rockets from Gaza into Israel. Mr. Bolton said the resolution still ''placed demands on one side in the Middle East conflict but not on the other.''

text: I've just had a bonnet respray and the paint shop also suggest getting the car mopped at the same time. With the flat black paint and being a 2005 plate there were many circular scratches in the lacquer coat which showed in the sunshine. The finish now looks great when there is anything but direct sunshine. However if there is direct sunshine then you can see swirl marks from the rotary polisher, they sparkle in the sunshine like diffraction patterns. I need to decide whether to get them to sort this out - is this normal, what have they done wrong (if anything) and how could it be fixed? Thanks Chris

For the first time since 1985 the Moeller Crusaders are Ohio's top big school football team as they won the OHSAA Division I championship game versus the Whitmer Panthers 20-12 on Saturday night in Canton.
It was a beautiful night at one of the most historic high school venues in the country and it provided a great host to a tenacious battle for a state title. The game at Fawcett Stadium was expected to be a shootout and early shots were fired starting with the Panthers.
Senior quarterback Nick Holley completed a 37-yard pass to Michael Dzikowski for the game's first score just over three minutes into the contest. However, a muffed PAT kept it at Whitmer (14-1) up early with a 6-0 lead.
Moeller (12-3) chipped away at the deficit by way of a Matt Reiniger 27-yard field goal. At the end of the first quarter the Crusaders were down by three points.
The Crusader defense struggled early on, but came up big with a fumble recovery inside their opponent's 20-yard line. It set up Moeller's first touchdown of the night as Spencer Iacovone completed the short 6-yard pass to Keith Watkins, who walked into the endzone. The score came just seven seconds into the second quarter to give Moeller their first advantage at 10-6.
The defense responded to the team's offensive success with another turnover as defensive back Logan Kelleher intercepted a long pass attempt from the Panthers' QB Holley deep in Whitmer territory. The Crusaders capitalized with a 1-yard score on the ground from Iacovone on the ensuing possession.
Moeller went into the locker room at halftime ahead 17-6 as they held Whitmer to no points after the game's opening drive.
The third quarter started slow with Moeller having no luck offensively. They eventually turned the ball over on a Watkins' fumble that gave the Panthers the ball at the 15-yard line. Two plays later the brother QB-WR combination of Nick and Nathan Holley hooked up for a touchdown to close the gap to just five points, making the score Moeller up 17-12 at the end of the third quarter.
The final quarter of play for the 2012 season was highly contested, with both teams having big plays and turnovers traded away. The biggest play of the night for Whitmer came in the final minutes with 3:41 left on the clock as they attempted a fake punt on 4th-and-10 on their own 34 yard-line, but the Panthers could not convert.
That's where Moeller took over and winded down the clock to 1:54 before kicking a short field goal to extend their lead to 20-12. The Crusaders defense held Whitmer at the end as the clock expired.
The contest was played out pretty even statistically. Both teams turned the ball over two times with Moeller holding a slight edge in total yards (315 to 304). However, the Crusaders held a seven-minute advantage in time of possession and converted nine of their 15 third-down conversions.
Mentor was able slow down the Crusaders' rushing attack, but Iacovone made up for it by turning in a solid performance through the air. The senior completed 15 of his 19 pass attempts for 161 yards and a touchdown and added another 63 yards and a score on 11 carries.
Watkins rushed the ball 22 times, but only mustered 71 yards on the ground on 23 carries. The senior did do so damage catching the ball out of the backfield though as he pulled in eight catches for 61 yards and a score.
Nick Holley threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns and picked up 106 more yards rushing in the loss.
The state championship is the eighth overall for Moeller, but there first one in 27 years. The Crusaders are the first Cincinnati area team to win the Ohio DI title since St. Xavier brought the hardware back to the Queen City in 2007.

text: Charter Committee Whoever Wins Cincinnati's Mayor's Race Has A Lot Riding On Council Election By Howard Wilkinson • May 28, 2017 It's not surprising that, in Cincinnati, people who follow politics closely are fixated between the mayoral race between two Democrats – incumbent John Cranley and council member Yvette Simpson. Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati By Jay Hanselman • Oct 3, 2013 Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati In 1924 local corruption was so bad that Cincinnati earned the reputation as the worst-governed city in America. In June of that year, a new reform-minded group called the City Charter Committee was founded. Today that group is known as the Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati. Mary Fitzpatrick, former board member, and Executive Committee Chairman Michael Goldman discuss the history and mission of the Charter Committee. Charter's council slate a mixed bag By Howard Wilkinson • Aug 11, 2013 This is not your parents' Charter Committee. Not the staid old political organization, that, back in the 1920's, threw out the corrupt political bosses and instituted Cincinnati's charter form of government. And who have, through the decades, sat back and scolded Democratic and Republican council members alike for going beyond their role of setting policy and interfering with the professional administrators of the city. Some people have felt in recent years that Charter lacked relevance, pushed to the back burner of city politics.

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
On an early Tuesday afternoon in the middle of March, the sun burst out and burned off a cold, gray sky. Standing in the shade of a tree in Tecolote Park, I watched two dozen school-age children play various games. Some swung on swings; some ran in circles on the grass, chasing each other and laughing. In another corner of the park, a group of kids played soccer. They had set up yellow traffic cones as goals and a volunteer coach with a whistle instructed them. Other kids sat on the ground in small groups and talked.
The children were not alone. Their parents, mothers mostly, had laid out a colorful quilt of blankets on the grass. They wore straw hats and poked around in their picnic baskets for carrot sticks and sandwiches. They talked in quiet, earnest tones; every once in a while one would politely brush crumbs from her face. Sometimes one looked up and scanned the park for her boy or girl. Except for the occasional happy shriek piercing the air, tranquility reigned. Everyone was loose and cheerful.
But why, an uninformed passerby might have asked, aren't these kids in school?
"It was a simple decision, really," she said. "One day she came home from school with all these questions about the speed of light. She couldn't figure it out and she wanted to talk about it, but I said, 'No, we can't. We have to color in all these bunnies.' It was her homework assignment. I saw how absurd that was. So I decided to homeschool in order to let her pursue her interests."
Today, "homeschooling," once a dirty word among educators and responsible parents, sits on the tips of many tongues. No longer a fringe concept, homeschooling has become a profitable business and a potent catchphrase in the political wars over education. Liberals and conservatives, atheists and fundamentalists, and people from every other ideological camp — including teachers — now recognize homeschooling as a sensible — and in some cases necessary — alternative to a school system that so many of us think is broke. Locally and nationwide, more and more parents homeschool their children, whether on their own or through programs set up by school boards. Almost two million children in this country attend homeschool. By most estimates, about 5000 kids in San Diego County homeschool in one way or another. That number will surely rise in coming years.
The mainstream media's increasing coverage of homeschooling has something to do with this surge. In its February 26 issue, People ran an article titled "The Learning Place" that claimed, "Home is where the school is." Early this year Leslie Stahl did a 60 Minutes segment on so-called distance learning (the segment has since run a second time). She profiled the University of Phoenix, an online college that allows students to work or stay at home while they earn a degree. To keep up with these trends, and to make sure they don't lose tuition revenue, major universities — Columbia and Harvard, for instance — are launching similar Internet-based curricula. Naturally, humanities professors who cherish their seminars and memories of the Socratic banter that taught them what they know vehemently oppose these shifts and predict the annihilation of the liberal education. We should take their warnings seriously. As reactionary and pedantic as it sounds, college must provide more than a degree. The world — yes, the world — will suffer if young adults stop attending college. We can place no value on collegiality. Nevertheless, curious 20-year-olds will find a way to learn, so long as they're equipped with the basic critical skills that a K-through-12 education provides.
That's why, in this age of standards and accountability, pundits worry more about homeschooling at the primary and secondary levels than at the college level. It doesn't matter, they argue, whether homeschooled students attend college in person or remotely (via a computer terminal) if they are crossing the threshold into college education at a disadvantage. The question is, do elementary and high school classrooms impart unique, indispensable lessons that homeschooling or online programs can't provide?
Many people doubt the inviolability of the classroom. Even William J. Bennett, the back-to-basics, ultraconservative secretary of education under President Reagan, embraces homeschooling — or a butchered version of it anyway. As recently as 1999, Bennett, in a book titled The Educated Child, took a swipe at the burgeoning online learning industry. "When you hear the next pitch about cyber-enriching your child's education," Bennett wrote, "keep one thing in mind: so far, there is no good evidence that most uses of computers significantly improve learning."
But last December, Bennett changed course. He announced that he was founding a for-profit school called K12 that will offer children a complete elementary and secondary education, from kindergarten through 12th grade. The curriculum will be available only online and at a cost of at least $1000 a year. If parents or students have questions or want to correspond with instructors by e-mail, they will have to pay more. The announcement of Bennett's venture sent shock waves through the education community. Michael R. Milken, the infamous Los Angeles–based financier who pleaded guilty to securities fraud in 1990, is the primary investor in K12. After his plea, Milken concocted a new persona, becoming a high-profile philanthropist. As if Milken's backing weren't enough to cause a stir, Bennett recruited David H. Gelernter, a professor of computer science at Yale, as K12's technology adviser. Gelernter is also a well-known public figure, though not by choice. You may remember that in 1993 a package mailed to Gelernter by the Unabomber blew off most of the professor's right hand.
Bennett and Milken see homeschooling as a lucrative commodity. Parental anxiety over education knows no bounds, and the market in alternative, for-profit educational products, such as software and tutoring programs, is expected to reach $170 billion by 2005. Bennett has stated publicly that he designed K12 for homeschoolers. In two articles that appeared in the New York Times, the first published in late December and the second in late January, Jacques Steinberg examined the new school. He wrote, "Mr. Bennett hopes to enroll about 50,000" of the country's two million homeschoolers by 2004. Bennett's flirtation with homeschooling highlights some of its many facets.

Shelley Duncan is the most prolific power hitter in Tucson baseball history. There is no second place.
He set the city's high school record, hitting 26 homers at Canyon del Oro. He broke UA records, 24 homers in a season and 55 in a career. He hit 193 minor-league home runs, and if that wasn't good enough, he hit five homers in his first eight games as a New York Yankee.
He hit two home runs in the state championship game. He hit a homer in the NCAA tournament. He got "SportsCenter"-type curtain calls after hitting home runs at Yankee Stadium.
In the last week of his long baseball career, Duncan wanted to hit a final home run, a personal legacy, so that his twin sons, Walker and William, might remember their dad rounding the bases.
"I suspected I was about to be released by Cincinnati, and I knew I would then retire," Duncan says. "But I was in Louisville, and my wife and boys were in Tucson. It was going to be close."
Early this month, Elyse Duncan flew with Walker and William to Louisville to watch her husband play his last few games. By then, the Reds' Triple-A affiliate was using Duncan infrequently. At 34, he got the message.
"They had me bunt," Duncan said. "I had one sacrifice bunt in my entire career, and it was when I played for the Yankees. Look it up. One."
In 1,077 minor-league games, Shelley Duncan did not have a single sacrifice bunt. He did not want to bunt when Walker and William arrived at Louisville Slugger Field. He would be swinging for the fences.
In the seventh inning of a June 12 game against the Gwinnett Braves, Louisville manager Jim Riggleman sent Duncan to pinch-hit. The former Eastern League and International League All-Star was hitting. 193.
This would be it.
Duncan hit a fastball from Gwinnett's Ian Thomas over the left field fence and took his time rounding the bases. Two-year-old twins Walker and William didn't take their eyes off of No. 9.
It was like something out of a movie.
"After I was released by the Diamondbacks in spring training, I moved back to Tucson and had a couple of good cries," Duncan remembers. "All I've ever known is baseball. It was hard.
"But by the time I signed with the Reds and was sent to Louisville, I had accepted it and moved on.
"I knew I was at the end; I just hoped my boys could see me hit one final home run."
He retired three days later.
Duncan hit 317 home runs in his high school, college and pro careers. He wore uniforms of the Durham Bulls, the Trenton Thunder and the Staten Island Yankees.
Nothing much changed from the way it had been with the CDO Dorados and the Arizona Wildcats. Duncan hit home runs. He made friends and impressed them with his wit and baseball instincts.
He grew up a baseball prodigy, the son of esteemed St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, spending his summers in big-league clubhouses opposite his younger brother Chris, a CDO grad who would go on to play five seasons in the big leagues.
But it all seemed to go by in a blur. Hanging out with Yankees captain Derek Jeter. Flying in the same charter jet with teammates Roger Clemens and Mariano Rivera. Winning the International League Home Run Derby. Signing a $655,000 bonus contract on Yankees letterhead.
"I prepared for the end of my career, I knew it was coming, but it was very difficult," he said. "I've already interviewed with several teams about becoming a coach and maybe a manager in their minor-league systems.
"But right now I'm learning how to live without baseball. Having 2-year-old twins is a full-time job in itself. My wife is an absolute saint."
While playing for the Cleveland Indians, Duncan enrolled at the University of Phoenix and took online courses in an attempt to complete his college degree. In August, he will enroll at his alma mater and become an undergraduate assistant coach for the UA's Andy Lopez.
Where that leads is anyone's guess. Duncan is a people person of the first order; he would be a dynamic recruiter.
It's not difficult picturing him as a college head coach someday, or a major-league manager. He has the genes, contacts and baseball résumé like few others.
For the first time since he was a 5-year-old Little Leaguer, Duncan doesn't have any more games on the schedule.
"Instead of just hanging on, I decided to move on to the next chapter of my life," he said. "I am going to get my degree. That's a priority. I will also have a chance to unpack my bags and plant a garden, literally and figuratively."
And, for the first time, smell a few roses.

He had a ocean front rental unit that had stopped pumping cold air. The cap terminals were rusted and burnt the compressor wire in to. Here's a shot from the roof at about 9:30 am.

A phrase in Online, page 12, February 3, seemed to place Beowulf in the 11th century. The epic poem is held to be an 8th-century composition, or even earlier.
Jeeves was born discreetly in a story entitled Extricating Gussie in PG Wodehouse's 1917 collection The Man with Two Left Feet. G2 Pass notes, February 3, mistook the book title for the specific story.
An article mentioning the 1827 lighthouse on the North Sea island of Buchaness, Page 11, January 29, attributed the engineering design to Robert Stephenson. But it was Robert Stevenson, grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson, who was engineer to the Northern Lighthouse Board.
An obituary of actress Frances Drake, page 20, January 31, recapped her role opposite Peter Lorre in the 1935 horror classic Mad Love, where - obsessed by this beautiful woman - Lorre's crazed Dr Gogol grafts the hands of a murderer on to Drake's injured pianist husband. The film was issued in Britain as The Hands of Orlac and that, not "Orloff" as we gave it, was the husband's name. (A reader adds that a particularly exquisite still of Frances Drake from this movie was reprinted in Pleasure Dome, Graham Greene's 1935-40 collected film criticism.)
