Harmoly! It's like Mira singing about Buckle Bees, despite knowing perfectly well they're Bumble Bees.
I really should do kick-a$$ yoga more often. Good for body and soul.
L, your kids are so sweet!
I solved a stinker of a problem that even the sys admin couldn't figure out. Before 8:00 a.m. Totally by accident, but still...this win is mine.
Conner is staying overnight with me as Rich has to work. My town is having their annual Strawberry Festival so there will be lots to do...which is a good thing 'cause getting Conner home before 4 would be rather difficult. I may have Syd, my niece, and nephew as well but I'm not sure where they'll all sleep. I guess I could let the girls sleep in my bed, Brandon have the couch and I take Syd's bed. Rich's cousin is coming up from NC and they are all going out. I want to have Jamie's kids stay with me. I miss them.
I don't like it when people get all judgmental about ads/funnies and look for PC things to get their panties in a wad about, but for some reason that Onion 'joke' is offensive to me. I guess I hate that we as a society idolize youth so much and that's just another small example of it. That said, I do think that even as we age we can maintain a youthful personality and I can't see myself ever getting that bent over a product that didn't ring up right. Oh-and 42 is hardly middle aged. ok, I'm done!
Mmmmm strawberries. The kids could also sleep on the floor. I mean I wouldn't want to now but when you are under 20, floor is fair game. We did it all the time at slumber parties. Though maybe you don't have carpeted floors?
I'm just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring today. Cosmo is having her teeth cleaned so is undergoing anesthesia. My mom is having the D&C today....not so much concerned about that but the anesthesia. She ended up feeling and being awake during a colonoscopy. She also ended up feeling it when she shouldn't have when they were doing local for a knee surgery. She is also one of those unlucky people that pain meds really don't do much for. But she did let the doctors know this and she has paperwork from the last procedure stating what was used and not to do that again on her....and this time is going under general.
Cosmo is getting picked up soon and they said it was all fine. Though probably not fine on my wallet!
Also have talked to my mom and they finally were able to keep her sleeping through a surgery. Versad just doesn't do it for her.
So I'm all ready for the weekend to start rocking!
Hi, ladies!! Jennifer, I hope your mom & Cosmo are both doing ok by now.
Hi, ladies!! Jennifer, I hope your mom & Cosmo are both doing ok by now.
I forgot to tell y'all about a conversation that I had with my mom the other day. Every time I think about it, I get a little teary-eyed. I've been that busy with school applications and just keeping the kids entertained that I've not even mentioned it to my DH or my MIL (my 2 confidants). I'm sure I've mentioned before that my mom wasn't the greatest parent growing up-she was drunk for a big part of it and caused quite a bit of embarrassment throughout the years. Any how, it's always kind of irked me that she never acknowledged that. Like, we'd talk about other people in the family and she'd say something about how good we were as kids and how we'd turned out to be good adults as if it was her parenting that made it all happen. I guess I've always held a little resentment that she wasn't ever there for us emotionally until we actually got married and moved far, far away. Any how, the other day, she was telling me about how she'd been at my granny's (her momma's). A lot of her brothers and sisters were there with her because my Granny was scheduled to have a pacemaker put in (she's had it and is fine now), so, she got to talking about parenting with them and she said to me something like this: "We were talking about raising kids and I said to J that I am ashamed that I was drunk for the most part of y'all growing up. I know I wasn't a good parent." It hit me really hard because it was like I'd waited for her to admit that, but hearing her say that made me so incredibly sad, so I was all like, "That was the past, momma; let's just look ahead to where we are now and what lies ahead." And I felt awful for having always held that resentment just waiting for her to admit it.....gosh, I hate emotional stuff. I am usually like a brick wall with my emotions, especially negative ones! In all honesty, though, having the childhood that I did, I've made sure that I am a much different parent to my own children, so I've not let it overshadow my life. I guess I'm just rambling now, but I thought I'd share that here since I've not actually talked to anyone about it in real life and you ladies are good therapy buddies.
Ash. I'm glad you had that conversation with her. It must feel good and depressing at the same time.
I had a long talk with my sister the other day. Among other things, she mentioned that she felt our parents were physically and emotionally abusive to her - and emotionally abusive to me, but not physically. She said our father hit her and my brother with a belt when he was angry, but this stopped before I was born. I am really having a hard time with this. I would never in a million years have used the word abusive to describe my parents. My sister does have a lot of negativity towards my parents, and I share quite a bit of it and agree some of the way they brought us up was not ideal, but I can't help but think that we both had vastly different experiences of the same two parents and I just don't know what to make of it. I think my parents are really good people, although I do believe my dad has Asperger's (and my sister agrees with me on that point) and, due to that, he was never an emotionally or socially perceptive parent. He did yell a lot and I am certain he had no idea how that felt to us, but abusive? I am trying to figure out whether I'm just thicker skinned than my sister and dealt with the situation better than she did, or whether she is right and I am just in denial. It's kind of messing with my head.
I've been wanting to share that with you guys, but haven't been able to type it out. Sorry for the dump.

One of the things my sister kept saying was that my parents spoke to her in ways that weren't understanding/respectful of her. I can't argue with that, because they did the same to me. But my parents were born in the 30's, and my dad was the youngest of 5 kids, with the last 3 all born during the depression. Their childhoods were very, very different and I think compared to how they grew up, the way they raised us was a walk in the park. While you might look at they way kids were raised then and disagree with it, can you really judge their parenting by today's standards? They did the best they knew how, I think. And I am grateful that I know different ways to raise my own kids. Or am I just making excuses?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
That's how I see it, too. I feel like my parents did what they could but like you said, they lived very rough lives compared to my own, and comparing my kids' lives to theirs, my kids are treated like royalty compared to what they got treated like back in the day.
I'm glad you agree with me. I just see my sister holding on to so much anger. She's 46, for Pete's sake! Seems to me by that age you've been an adult long enough to move past your childhood.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
How much older is your sister than you? It is possible that they did get different treatment based on being older and being the first.
For example, I have great parents who were much better than their own parents were. I'm the older child, sister is 5 yrs younger. They did a lot to treat us fairly but I know that when I was a teen, my dad got control of the radio saying my music was crap (this coming from a guy who is generally into popular music and rock too). Cut to five years later and my sister gets control of the radio....same genre of music but now my dad's all into her stuff and they used to attend a bunch of concerts together (he loves My Chemical Romance and Gaga....says he's a little monster).
When I moved out, it was like Yeah now my office isn't going to be in the basement anymore. My sister closes on her house in less than two weeks (and she's now 29!) and my parents are all sad about it and don't want to see her leave finally.
Definitely some differences there based on being oldest and being the baby....but I don't think that either one is loved more.
I'm 7.5 years younger, and she is the oldest. My brother is 22 months younger than she is.
See, my parents were the same way about us moving out (when my brother moved out, my dad had started to move his bed out of the room to set up his office before the garage door had even finished closing). My sister would describe that as an example of his lack of respect for our emotions and call it abusive, I have no question. I do make fun of my dad for doing that, but I see it differently. He was just as happy to see me go as he was my brother, though! That certainly didn't change over time with him.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I agree that how you perceive your upbringing is all relative, Mandy. I imagine there are all sorts of factors (birth order, IQ, temperament, whether you were one of the oldest/youngest among your peers, just to name a few) that make it so you and your sister can look at the same set of parents and see 2 different types of people.
My sister has a completely different outlook on how we were parented too, and in our case, I'm not surprised. We're only 2 years apart, but were parented very differently. My sister was far more strictly parented from the beginning since she was their first child, so she rebelled way more, which only made my parents tighten their restrictions on her. Which only made my parents too fatigued to be strict with me. In the early years, my sister bore the brunt of the rough time they had transitioning as immigrants, while I was a) left in the old country the first 9 months they lived in the U.S. so I missed a lot of it, and b) had my great-aunt to coddle me day-after-day from infancy to age 5 even while my parents were initially struggling to integrate and establish themselves in this country.
So, yeah, she has harsher words for them than I do, although I don't think either of us would use the term "abusive". And we did get the belt when we acted up. I too chalk their shortcomings up to the generational/cultural gap and imperfect knowledge, and think mom & dad did the best they could. Speaking of imperfect knowledge, I can just imagine what sort of parenting innovations will come into being by the time Bodhi is a parent, and who know what his opinion will be when he looks at my parenting in the rearview mirror.
Ash, I felt pretty choked up when I read your mom finally acknowledging her drinking. :Hugs: You were very gracious to her. I'm so glad she gave you that. I would have marked my calendar in your shoes. I know this is quite different, but that kind of reminds me of when I finally got around to asking my mom if she missed me when she left me in the "old country" as a 6 month old. I was already in my 20s. She was like, "Oh my god, are you kidding me?!?!? That was the hardest thing I've had to do as a parent!" I don't know why I'd ever thought otherwise. I know that, in general, immigration can really fracture families, but I wasn't sure if it was just part of her old culture to take our separation in stride. I mist up when I think of how hard that must have been on my mom. There's no way I'd be able to do that, but she did it to give both her kids a better life.

That must have been incredibly difficult for your mom, Myles, and really it's a testament to how much she loves you that she did do it to give you a better life. I'm glad you talked with her about it. I can't imagine, either.
On the subject of belting, you and I are the same age and I don't think it was that unusual in those days or the 5-7 years before that to "discipline" your kids that way. I would consider that abuse now, but I don't think it was perceived that way then. I was spanked, and my dad did spank me when he was angry, but he never beat or hit me excessively in any way and I can't imagine he did that to my sister and brother, either. He used to threaten me with his belt but he never went through with it - I am assuming my mother must have asked him not to do that. In some ways, my dad took more of an interest in raising me than he did the older two. I know my mom said he was with her in labor and got to see me born (which he didn't with the first two), and he changed my diapers and fed me, etc. which again, he left all to my mother with the first two kids. I see that as a difference between the 60's, when they were born, and the 70's, when I was born, and that they were beginning to pick up on parenting differences. But that doesn't make their choices in the 60's abusive - just more old-fashioned. Lots of people now would look at a father who didn't change his own child's diapers with horror but few dads did that in the 60's.

I do think I'm more thicker skinned in regards to the way my parents were as well. But they were really young and I recognized that even when I was a kid. I remember feeling sorry for them, but loving them a lot and trying to protect them, also that I didn't belong with them. My parents used to fight a lot when they were together, like physically fight each other. The last one I remember I was about 6 and Mom and Dad were rolling around our front lawn fighting, punching and slapping and yelling and just being ridiculous and I so remember sighing and thinking "I am not supposed to be with these people." I even told my mom that later that night and she broke out in tears and agreed with me. Then I felt bad for telling her that.
My brother, who is 11 months older doesn't really view anything the way I do. He also thinks I got preferential treatment by our parents. I honestly don't know why he thought this, mostly it has to do with I had my own room, but I was the only girl and he and I shared a room for 10 years. So I don't get it. He also has way more hangups than I do even though he was not sexually abused like I was. He thinks our mom favors me because we talk all the time, but he lives about 2 miles from her and could easily talk to her more than I do. He thinks she is and always has been cold to him and his feelings, I can see how he would think that but both my mom and my grandma (her mom) even my great grandma were very... I'll say curt and usually spoke pretty harshly. Though I am not as harsh as they were, I am similar in that I am very blunt (he says I'm mean, my brother, especially to his girlfriend) I do try to take other people's feelings into consideration though, something grandma and great grandma never did while they were alive. Mom has always been sensitive though and she has a tough exterior but is sugar on the inside and I just can't see how he doesn't see her like that. I tell him he should get to know her better and that she did the best she could do. She was very young when she had him and even though she made a lot of mistakes, he should realize that she's a regular person and all people make mistakes.
Ash, that is a conversation that sounds like uncomfortable emotions would be brought to the surface. The first time my mom apologized to me in regards to my abuse it was a surprise and I didn't know what to think about it for a while. But like you, I felt that it was in the past and even though it bothered me I was happy she did that because it made me close that chapter of my life. She still brings it up though and tries to apologize now but I stop her and tell her she has apologized enough. She even tells me she thinks God cursed her due to her treatment of me and my older brother. She was a much different mother to my younger brothers and I was happy she was and harbored no ill will or jealousy toward them due to it.
Ash & Mandy.
All this talk about our parent's childhood compared with ours and how we raise our own kids is really making me sad. I know I did better with my girls than how I was raised. Not just because things were done differently in the 70's (although of course that's part of it) but because my mom was really nuts and went psychotic a lot. So it wasn't hard to do better than that...but I really read up on parenting and in particular childhood development. I wanted to do the best for my kids that I possibly could. And Jesi's left home at 17. And Bobbie has flat out told me I was an awful mother. She couldn't have said anything worse because I gave her my all.
And yeah, there is a difference in how you treat your oldest, because you're still learning. No one is born knowing how to parent and every one of us had ideals when we planned our families that changed as reality struck. That's part of life. I agree that once you become an adult though you just let go of childhood hurts. What happened happened and hanging onto that negativity won't do one **** bit of good for anyone.
Goodness. Y'all are breaking my heart! I feel luckyy tp know such an incredible group of women.
Chrissy (or Erin), I'd really love to see either of you call up my sister and ask her honestly if she can really feel sorry for herself when you think about what other people go through. Both of you have really been through a lot and you are survivors. I'm sure so much of it comes down to personality, though, and how we react to what life throws at us.

Big hugs for my girls. These are tough things.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
It is strange to me because I really don't think I've been through a whole lot. I guess because I read so much as a child, both fiction and non-fiction and so many other kids had it worse than I did. My parents were pretty dysfunctional but honestly I think most parents are sort of dysfunctional. I had the abuse, but it was not nearly to the extent that I know other children or even adults experience. I don't like to diminish it because it did make a huge impact on my life but I know I did not have it as bad as others and I think that is the reasons why I don't harbor any ill will.
Hopefully your sister will get there someday Mandy. I never really understand the perpetual hangups people have over their childhood. I can understand a bit when they are younger, like teens through twenties, I'd even give them, but 30+ there is way too much life to live IMO and there is not time for "shoulda, coulda, wouldas" or "woe is me's."
But I do come from a long line of no-nonsense ladies and we get over things and made do. My brother always says he wishes he could be like me and just get over it. I just tell him to decide to get over it and get over it. For him it is hard. I think some people like to have a victimhood complex or something and want some pity and I feel it is due to the fact that they have regrets about their own decisions and want people to feel bad for them, that the pity is somewhat comforting. That is just a guess of mine about my brother.
I know my kids will probably say something horrible about my mothering. I ask Ky now if he thinks I am doing something wrong with him. He has gotten pretty quiet though and doesn't like to talk as much as he used to so maybe he is having some sort of hang ups with me. I wouldn't know what they were, but you never know what other people are thinking or feeling. I just try to remind him no matter what I love him and that if he ever thinks I don't he is dead wrong and should push that thought out of his mind. Even though my mom put me through a ringer, I never doubted that she loved me. I even remember contemplating suicide before and not doing it because I knew it would break her to pieces. To this day if something happened to me, I think she would have a nervous breakdown.
Aw, sweeties.
I know that I think my mom is the best mom ever, but when I was a teenager I did not think so at all. And I never doubted that she loved me, but she turned my room into an office right after I moved out.
My sister and I have vastly different memories of our childhoods, despite being only 20 months apart. So much so that you'd think we were raised in different families. She contradicts me when I talk about memories I have of my youth. "No, that never happened!" Like she was there and remembers better than I did. Well, she was there, but she remembers completely differently. She is mostly in complete denial about how poor we were. I think I've mentioned this before. We were living on food stamps for a long time when we were growing up, and sleeping in friends' attics, and living in houses without running water or indoor toilets, and the house in El Paso had no air conditioning and was infested with roaches and black widow spiders. I didn't get my first store-bought dress until 7th grade. I was teased about my high-water pants from the thrift store. Even in my jr. year in high school, when I was invited to prom, my mom said she'd sew me a dress and I decided I didn't need to go that badly.
My sister does not remember any of this. She accuses me of making it up, even when mom backs me up. I don't know if it's just the age difference, because by the time she was 13, we got our big house and dad was a doctor. At that time, she was getting a lot of new clothes. Part of it might have been that she didn't hesitate to ask for things, but I still remembered all the years of having to be so careful with money and I didn't ask. She also had our parents pay for her college and law school and her car insurance until she was 35 and other miscellaneous things like new tires and vacations, whereas I got student loans and paid my own way. My sister has always felt a lot differently about money, and I think she would feel weird about admitting that we were poor growing up. She was engaged to a guy named Rich a long time ago, and her favorite thing about it was that she got to say she was marrying rich.
I don't resent the fact that we were poor. I actually value it, because I think it makes me appreciate experiences more than things. Despite the teasing I mentioned above, up until my later years, I never felt deprived. I was loved and never felt a lack of anything in my life.
Anyway, different scenario, but it is possible for two siblings, even two close in age, to experience completely different childhoods in the same house. Even with parents who treat them pretty similarly.
I suppose there are a lot of parallels with our situation and yours and your sister's, L. Funny since there is such a difference in age. I grew up very middle class, but after my sister left home and before I started high school, my dad took early retirement and began his second career as a college professor. He earned a full salary plus a full pension, and we moved into a very fancy house. So my parents had a lot more cash to spend on me and I had a lot of material things my sister never did. They've given her plenty, too, though.

Memory is very tricky. I remember reading about it in psychology classes and it totally ruined me! I used to remember people's faces & names, even their voices on the phone. I recalled details of all things-not just work related-very well. And then I took that course and learned about how fallible memory is!!
Now I second guess everything I think I know. I hate it and even though historically my memories were accurate I still can't get over that, "Maybe I'm not remembering this right." I would back down from a "no, that never happened that way!" argument.
That's one of my hangups I wish I could get over. Or unlearn that class.
Conner, Syd and Brianna stayed overnight last night. Conner had a good time and there were no tears! He even let me wash his hair without a fuss which is a first since we moved out of our 'big' house last August. There we had a large jet tub that was essentially Conner's 'cause he was the only one that used it. He tried telling us he wouldn't ever have a bath or wash his hair again until we moved back there. So every bath/hair washing event has been a battle.
I'm so happy he had a good time. He still says he'd rather not stay overnight with me, but at least it's getting easier. He went out with the teenagers last night for the block party (am I nuts?!) and returned covered in shaving cream. They all were. I'm sure my face was priceless when they knocked on the door and I opened it to that sight. I was speechless!

I hope it's OK to post -- I got the idea from a recent thread (I think in another folder) that mentioned a unique mother/child relationship because of the PE experience, and how it's hard for non-PE moms to understand...
DS is 4 years old -- his whole pregnancy was rough, especially at the end, but he's doing great. He is my universe. Tomorrow I'm scheduled to deliver baby #2 (repeat c-section), DS has been expressing excitement throughout the pregnancy, and no PE! I was feeling fairly prepared for the birth. Then, as of yesterday, DS has suddenly withdrawn from me, to the point he won't interact with me at all, doesn't want me to put him to bed for the first time ever (*sniff*), etc... it's like he's pretending I'm not in the house. The good news is that he's still acting happy, and is attaching himself to DH. He knows the the baby comes out tomorrow. I'm guessing this must be a normal reaction to his worries/anxiety (protecting himself from changes?), but I'm having a hard time with him avoiding me, especially with other stresses/events going on. Plus pregnancy hormones. I feel like one big kleenex.
I'm sorry for the long post -- I would just be really grateful for tips for making the adjustment to baby #2, especially with respect to your relationship with child #1, and especially when child #1 was a PE baby. I feel like I'm losing this unique relationship we've had. I've been told it will be good for both me & DS to have baby #2, and we very much want baby #2, and I know how lucky I am to have made it this far with no PE, and I know we can still make time for me & DS alone -- but I'm also aware things won't be the same. I think having DS suddenly withdraw from me (especially this weekend... I'd had these plans for a last special "3 of us" weekend together) is sort of driving it home.
We watched the Sibling Silly video a few weeks ago, and we've read big brother books, and DS is still expressing excitement about the baby... so I guess attaching to DH at this point must be what he needs. I'm glad he's happy, and it seems like he's adjusting as best he can. I'm just feeling weepy and having a hard time (I'm sure not for the last time!) seeing him grow apart from me. :( Part of me feels like I'm being silly and irrational and that I should be focused on the good, so maybe it's all just hormones. I apologize for taking up so much space with it!
Thanks very much in advance.

Traffic stop leads to arrest in ID theft operationA Lee County deputy patrolling I-75 arrested a woman after discovering items related to an alleged identity theft operation, according to sheriff's office reports.
Wednesday afternoon the deputy was patrolling I-75 in the area of North Fort Myers when the deputy spotted a passenger in a Nissan Altima who wasn't wearing her seatbelt.
The deputy conducted a traffic stop on the Altima.
The vehicle took approximately a half mile to stop and the passenger could be seen moving things around in the back seat, according to deputies.
When the car finally stopped, the deputy noticed the smell of marijuana and that the driver and the passenger seemed extremely nervous.
In plain view the deputy could see a computer, several Walmart GE bank cards, several notebooks, a piece of paper with a name and social security number on it and an open can of beer.
The passenger, Shontaye Pittman, admitted to eating marijuana and smoking it earlier in the day. She also allegedly have items related to identity theft in a bag.
In the car, the deputy found the names, social security numbers and birthdates of multiple victims.
Shontaye was arrested and charged with 5 counts of fraud-impersonation, use-possess ID of another person without consent.

wareen-Hey now! I like that! Yes, of course, Tavi was just sitting there doing my hard work, when the wretched and untrustworthy program froze, leaving poor Tavi in an ordeal, forcing her to sacrifice an episode of America's Next Top Model. Gosh, these technological chumps really need to get their programs straight before presenting them to a world of busy bloggers who need to get things done conveniently and quickly.

I was playing with my new phone last weekend waiting for the Packers Bears game when I accidentally took a picture. It'll probably be the best pic this phone will ever take. Let's look what's on my table:
Pepperoncini peppers
Jalapeno peppers
Garlic stuffed olives
Venison sausage
Pepper cheese
Smoked oysters
And ... a pack of smokes.
I don't know if I'm proud or ashamed!

THE SCOOP: The frugal, sensible and simple pot roast
I've always cooked. I grew up in a household where my mom cooked nearly every meal we ate from scratch. And I was right by her side as soon as I was old enough to reach the countertop. So, it's sometimes hard for me to imagine coming from a home where nothing was made in the kitchen.
I was talking with a friend recently, and she mentioned that she had only recently learned how to make a pot roast. That got me thinking about the joy of knowing how to put a meal on the table without spending all day or a fortune doing it. Let's learn a little about the meal we call pot roast and see how easy it is to put one on the table!
History of the pot roast
According to the "Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink," the term "pot roast" refers to a meat that is browned and cooked with vegetables and gravy in a deep pot or saucepan, usually covered.
This method of cooking lends itself well to slow cooking in the oven or in the crock pot, making the pot roast ideal for the busy person. You literally set it up and it cooks itself.,
You may have heard the pot roast referred to as a Yankee Pot Roast which is an evolution of the New England boiled dinner, a meal with the same general ingredients. The main difference is the method of cooking used (boiling or stewing versus roasting in a pot) and the type of meat (corned beef vs fresh beef roast).
Classic New England (or Yankee) cuisine features frugality, sensibility and simplicity. Yankee pot roast makes a perfect example. Frugality because it utilizes less costly cuts of beef; sensibility because it can be left to cook while the cook does other things; and simplicity because it utilizes only a handful of easy to find ingredients.
Karen Tempel, an aspiring chef since she could reach the countertops, has been delighting friends and family with tempting treats for most of her life. She is the owner of Everyday Gourmet, a custom caterer in the Aiken area. Visit her website at www.LetKarenCook.com or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Katie Wagner"Katie Wagner was a 15-year-old sophomore attending Boulder Creek High School in Anthem, Arizona in October 2011. Katie began experiencing stomach pain, and went to the doctor for a routine check-up. They discovered a tumor the size of an egg blocking her bladder and she was diagnosed with a rare form of stage 4 cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma, which only impacts about five in one million kids.
"With the support of her family, she immediately began aggressive chemotherapy that would last more than a year. It was challenging but her faith, family and friends gave her the strength to fight. In February 2013 the cancer that had been throughout her body was completely gone. All scans were clear.
"But in May 2013, more scans were done and the cancer had returned. She continued her fight. Katie passed away on September 17."

An airman from Connecticut serving with the New York Air National Guard was killed in Afghanistan, according to the Department of Defense.
Staff Sgt. Todd Lobraico, 22, of New Fairfield, died Thursday, September 5, 2013, when enemy forces attacked his unit near Bagram Airfield, the Pentagon said.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Staff Sgt. Lobraico. His family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time," Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy said in a statement. "This loss reminds us of the dangers faced by our men and women stationed overseas. We should all be grateful for their service and sacrifices to our country."
The governor ordered all state and U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff in Lobraico's honor until his burial.
Lobraico, a graduate of New Fairfield High School, was the son of a Stamford police officer, according to the Stamford Patch.
His remains are expected to arrive at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Saturday, according to Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations.
A candlelight vigil is set for Sunday evening at a senior center in New Fairfield, according to the Associated Press.
Lobraico was assigned to the 105th Security Forces Squadron based out of Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York.

Great job, Christelle!
Great job, Christelle!
Great template Cathy! Love the shadows too.
This sounds like fun, though I'm just getting my feet wet when it comes to digital design. I want to try something like Word Art, but just to keep it a surprise until I submit it, I'll just say it isn't "word" art. How many "word" art items should be in my mini-kit? Is there a way to get the Designer Frame (or whatever it's called) for my preview? Are there instructions anywhere on the website on how to construct a mini-kit and its preview?
Cathy, that's a really nice template!
Selra, I do quite a few word art packs and usually try to include about 8-12 clusters. It kind of depends on how intricate each one is. So, I guess a "mini" could be 4-5?
You can make your own preview template quite easily--it's kind of like making a layout!
I guess comments are going to have to come in the threads, as it's just too blooming hard to navigate the gallery as yet. Things are not working like they used to. Anyhow, great template, Cathy, thank you! Christelle, great kit for your first try! Love the theme.
And Debra, love that little smilie guy at the end of your post, very cute!

The Volocopter VC200 is a quiet, battery-powered helicopter alternative with 18 rotors that can carry two people.
An experiment with two super-powered RC helicopters seems to show the machines are capable of lifting a full-grown person off the ground.
The Pentagon is developing unmanned aircraft for supply runs that can be controlled from a mobile phone or tablet -- think of it as Amazon drones in olive drab.
Aside from being emission-free, the German-built Volocopter VC200 is a VTOL aircraft that aims to offer a calm and quiet ride.
The original version of this story wrongly paired up two teams of aircraft manufacturers. The actual pairings: Sikorsky Aircraft is working with Boeing, while Bell Helicopter is working with Lockheed Martin.
The Pentagon is looking ahead several decades toward future fleets of rotorcraft -- and working now to lay the plans for getting there.
From the near-term Future Vertical Lift program to the seriously futuristic Aviation 2050 Vision, the Army has a lot riding on rotorcraft yet to come.
NASA conducts a dramatic test of new helicopter safety equipment by dropping a fuselage full of dummies and capturing it all on video.

7 Ways to Breathe Easy
By Victoria Dolby Toews, MPH
Since 1980, asthma rates have doubled, according to Fred Pescatore, MD, a physician in Dallas. "Asthma has become more prevalent in the past decade than ever before," he says, "and now afflicts more than 17 million people in the US or 8 percent of the population." The reasons underlying this dramatic increase remain a medical mystery, however, scientists think that environmental pollutants, immune responses early in life, and viral infections during childhood may all play a role.
In asthma, the airways become swollen and inflamed, resulting in wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Common asthma triggers include viral illness, cigarette smoke, air pollution, allergens such as dust mites, pollen, mold, or animal dander, and even such things as exercise, stress, cold temperatures, and in about 20 percent of people, aspirin. (Ironically, for others, daily low doses of aspirin can protect against asthma.)
The usual fix, steroids (corticosteroids), "quickly open up the airways in an acute asthma attack," says Douglas Husbands, DC, CCN, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist in San Carlos, California. The downside? Repeated steroids use can increase your risk of glaucoma, yeast and fungal overgrowth in the throat, weight gain, water retention, infection, high blood pressure, and imbalances of potassium and calcium, says Husbands. Natural medicine offers a wide range of remedies, like those listed below, that can help keep asthma under control and reduce reliance on conventional asthma medications.
Medicinal Mushrooms
An extract from mushrooms called AHCC (active hexose correlated compound) "can help the immune system do its job better," says Pescatore. Take 500 to 4,500 [is lower for prevention and higher for attack?] mg per day, depending on the severity of the disease.
Boswellia (Boswellia serrata)
This gummy resin from the bark of the boswellia tree, found in India, North Africa, and the Middle East, blocks inflammatory compounds that lead to acute asthma attacks, according to Husbands. Consider taking 300 mg of a standardized extract in capsule form, three times a day. Butterbur (Petasites hybridus)
Since the 17th century, practitioners have lauded this European shrub for its ability to ease asthma symptoms. Modern research shows that butterbur soothes airway spasms; one study found that more than 40 percent of butterbur users could take less asthma medication and still keep symptoms under control. Take 50 to 100 mg in pill form twice a day with meals, but make sure to select a product that contains no pyrrolizidine alkaloids (compounds that can cause liver damage).
Picrorhiza (Picrorhiza kurroa)
Long-used in the ayurvedic tradition, this herb counteracts inflamed and restricted airways, according to animal research. Adults take 400 to 1,500 mg a day of a standardized extract in pill form.

Saw a great article today on The Street.com on Craft Beer resolutions for 2014.
They have some really good ones, here are some thoughts on each of them that will help you enjoy craft beers even more in 2014:
Try everything - This becomes imperative now. So many new beers to try, so many great beers to taste, it is so easy to settle into a rut and drink favorite beers all of the time.
Look for deals - Increased competition has led to a buyers market. Most of the 6-packs where I am start at between $9.00 and $10.00. Often you can find great beers on sale under $8.50 per six pack. It is always a win/win when you can get a great craft beer, you've never had for under $8.50 a six pack.
Keep your eyes open- Today almost every town you visit you have a chance to try some great local beer, or at a minimum something you can't get "back home".
Ask Questions- I have found a few places in my hometown that not only want you to ask questions, they seem to enjoy talking about different beers. Those conversations usually lead me to some great beers.

Now Zagat has put out a list of 19 hotspots in major cities in the United States worth checking out. Two of those places are right here in Chicago - one in Logan Square and the other in the Loop.
A grandmother's relish tray with meats, bread, and deviled eggs from the 1930's or 40's, pig ears and beef tartar with cheddar chips will fill you up. This is why Zagat has listed Billy Sunday as one of the hottest spots, bars, and restaurants in 11 of the nation's most popular cities.
"We are so humbled to be on the list of such great cocktail bars in the nation. We put our heads down and try to do the best job we can and everything is crafted in house," Billy Sunday owner Matthias Mergas said.
LIST: 19 Hottest Bars in 11 U.S. Cities
That house is located in a cozy little cul-de-sac in the 3100 block of Logan Sqaure. Billy Sunday pays homage to an evangelist from the 1800's who led the way in prohibition. This place is a throwback - drinks, comfort food, and good service, Zagat says it's all here.
Drinks have names like the Boxed Lunch made with goat's milk and oatmeal.
Today, they're called mixologists. Back in the day, which is Billy Sunday's claim to fame, they were known as bar keeps. Alex tells me the best way to know you've got the best martini or shaken drinks, "the ice is melted down or becomes sandy and that's when you know you've got a great drink."
Billy Sunday opened in February. Three Dots and a Dash, a tiki bar, started serving drinks with a smile and entrees like Thai chicken, coconut shrimp and 175 different rums two months ago.
Zagat, a ratings system that helps diners select a place to wine or dine based on food, location, customer service and drinks has listed Three Dots and a Dash as a place that's only been around for a short time but know how to do it right in a city where new restaurants and bars open often.
Three dots is Morse code for the letter "V" but owners say they hope in the end it spells success for a long time in Chicago.

TAMPA, FL (RNN) - Call them party crashers or the team that just won't quit.
It may be Mitt Romney's moment in the spotlight, but Ron Paul supporters are making their presence seen, heard and felt at the Republican National Convention.
After Monday's brief session in which RNC Chairman Reince Priebus gaveled in, then immediately called the convention into recess, a group of Paul supporters threw an impromptu pep rally on the convention floor.
Gathering under a "We can do better" banner at the far end of the convention center, supporters chanted "President Paul" and held up Ron Paul signs.
They say they feel disenfranchised by the political process.
"They won't even let Ron Paul speak. They're going to give him a tribute video. After 30 years in the Congress, he gets a tribute video and they can't give him 15 minutes to speak. Why not? What are they afraid of?" said Jon Antoine, who is a guest of the Oregon delegation.
Tracy Bakefelt, who was not part of the impromptu chant, said she is a Romney delegate, but that Ron Paul was her first choice.
"We want to make [our presence] known," Bakefelt said. "There's just an energy [around Paul]. I want to see our country better."
Alex Casetta, an alternate delegate from Colorado acknowledges "this probably will not result in Ron Paul's nomination," but said "we want to convey is that this movement is not dead."
Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican, ran a grassroots presidential campaign but suspended his efforts in May.
In an interview with The New York Times, Paul said he was offered a speaking slot under the condition that he unwaveringly endorse Romney and that his speech was vetted by the campaign, but that he turned down the opportunity.
"I don't fully endorse him for president," he told the Times.
Romney seems to be getting the same half hearted endorsement from many Paul supporters.
"I guess [Romney] is the only ball game in town, isn't he?" said Karen Skrill, an alternate delegate from Vermont.
"I'll be really interested in seeing if he puts his money where his mouth is, if he really follows through on what he says because one thing about Ron Paul is, he has been consistent for 30 years in his message. He hasn't changed his vote in 30 years."

The small but perfectly formed resort village of Olu Deniz is one of the most popular destinations for visitors in the Mugla Province of Turkey. An Olu Deniz holiday is ideal for those who want an active trip, filled with plenty of things to see and do. What's more, as one of the most photographed areas in the world, an Olu Deniz holiday rental villa provides stunning views of the sea and mountains as well as all of the mod-cons you would expect from a first-class hotel.
The most famous asset of Olu Deniz is its beautiful beaches and the stunning Blue Lagoon which is a nature reserve and so cannot be spoilt by building work. Amongst the numerous activities available on an Olu Deniz holiday are swimming, diving, sailing, fishing, windsurfing, water skiing, horse riding, paragliding, cycling, walking, tennis and golf. With the stunning sea and mountain views that an Olu Deniz holiday rental villa offers, it is also the ideal getaway for those who love a spot of painting, drawing or photography.
If you have the energy left to leave the comfort of your fabulous Olu Deniz holiday rental villa then it is worth exploring further afield. The village of Kayakoy which is approximately 10 minutes away from Olu Deniz is one of the most interesting attractions in the area. The village of Kayakoy was abandoned in the early part of the 20th century and visitors can now see ruins of around 500 houses, most of them in a wonderful Greek style. The village is now a museum and has a visitor's centre where visitors can learn more about what happened to the village and the history of the surrounding area.
Should you now be considering booking a fabulous Olu Deniz holiday rental villa then you can expect to enjoy hot summers and mild winters. The warmest months of the year to have an Olu Deniz holiday tend to be July and August when the daytime temperature regularly reaches as much as 34°C. The cooler months of December and January can see the daytime temperature fall to anywhere between 7° and 16°C. The annual rainfall amount for the village is 28 inches with most of the rain falling during the months of December, January and February.
Travellers on an Olu Deniz holiday will arrive at Dalaman Airport (DLM) which is just under an hour and a half's journey from the village. Amongst the airlines offering regular, affordable flights to the area are Jet2, Thomson Flights, Monarch Airlines and BMI. Passengers can depart from various UK airports such as Glasgow (GLA), Newcastle(NCL), Manchester (MAN), Leeds (LBA) and Heathrow (LHR).

Emergency crews in Van Zandt County are still on the scene of a Hazmat situation on FM 1653. First responders tell KLTV 7 an overturned 18-wheeler is still leaking gasoline. The spill has been contained after crews suffocated the vapors with foam, the kind of foam they use to fight fires. Authorities say there has been no contamination to water sources.
The driver, 37 year old Calvin Maurice Childress of Killeen, was taken to a hospital in Athens. It's possible he broke some fingers on his left hand.
According to DPS, Childress has been charged with traveling at an unsafe speed. DPS said Childress was traveling too fast for the curve. Childress told DPS he was unfamiliar with the road.
FM 1653 is closed between FM 858 and CR 4118. The road will be closed until later this afternoon.
First reports are that an alcohol based product has spilled from the truck. HAZMAT, along with Van Zandt County Sheriff's Department are on the scene.

Chevron, a modern and powerful take on the renowned Cable design, takes its cue from a motif that has appeared throughout the ages, from ancient Greek pottery to early Scandinavian heraldry to modern military insignia. David Yurman skillfully interprets the design in a modern, sculptural form, creating a play on light and dark—the valleys of the pattern are oxidized while the peaks are kept brightly polished.

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: How do I control floating and bottom-growing algae in my lake? – Tom in New York
A: Whether it's floating or submerged, algae can turn a lake into a green mess in no time. It's unsightly, it's sometimes stinky and in extreme cases, it can cause a fish kill. The good news is that algae can be controlled no matter what time of year. It starts with controlling the population and ends with a long-term management plan.
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the difference between algae and weeds. The term "algae" refers to a wide range of single and multi-celled organisms that live in the water and metabolize carbon dioxide into oxygen via photosynthesis, just like plants. They differ from plants or weeds in that they don't have true leaves, roots or stems.
In lakes and ponds, the most common varieties of algae include: Green floating algae that creates a "pea soup" appearance; Chara or Stonewort, which are a bottom-growing, seaweed-looking type that can be mistaken for weeds, and string or filamentous algae, which are actually long strings of algae connected together.
Sometimes, pond and lake owners may mistake duckweed for floating algae, but if you look very closely, you'll find that it's actually duckweed or watermeal. Check out this blog entry to learn more about controlling this invasive weed.
Population Check
If your pond is coated in pea soup or the bottom is carpeted in Chara or string algae, you can knock back the population with a chemical herbicide like Algae Defense®. It provides quick results and it's formulated to get a pond under control – especially during the hot summer months. Do not use if your pond or lake is stocked with koi or goldfish. If your pond has trout, check your carbonate hardness with a water hardness test kit, like the Laguna® Quick Dip Multi-Test Strips, and make sure the carbonate hardness is above 50 parts per million (ppm) before using Algae Defense®.
Long-Term Strategy
Algae Defense® by Pond Logic® will solve a crisis, but to keep your pond or lake looking clean and clear, you'll need to be proactive and develop a plan to manage the algae. The most successful approach centers on cutting off the algae's food supply – nutrients.
Nutrients can come from a wide variety of sources, like grass clippings, twigs, trees, fish waste, yard and farm fertilizers and runoff. As these nutrients break down, they produce ammonia, which triggers the nitrogen cycle. Nitrifying bacteria surround the ammonia, turning it into nitrites and then into nitrates (nutrients) – which then feed the algae.
So, how do you reduce the nutrients in your pond?
Try these tips:
That green gunk can be controlled in your pond or lake. It just takes a little planning and some proactive management. When you see the results, it'll be worth it!

OMG ... I am going through my desk drawers and it's like an archaeological dig in here. I use 2-3 drawers that I store manuals, references, pens and pencils, etc. Going through the other drawers, I have uncovered (from past occupants of this desk):
1. Notes regarding a flight including flight number and take-off and landing times, for three years ago.
2. A sealed ziploc baggie filled with plastic forks, spoons, and knives (with pieces of food stuck to some of the spoons).
3. Various notes from professional developments past.
4. An incomplete application to obtain continuing education credits for said PDs, which is in the shred pile because it contains previous owner's name, phone number, and address.
5. A spiral notebook containing notes for an unwritten novel (obviously a kindred soul).
6. A kitchen knife (sharp).
7. And the best one: A Bette Middler mermaid in wheelchair keychain.
ETA: Oh, and a christmas stocking containing a christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, with a signed card from my boss, addressed to the same individual in item 4.

The Photography of Samantha Peterson
The Photography of Samantha Peterson
Samantha Peterson
Reception: Dec 18, 6:30pm
Artist's Statement:
Author Alan Keightley made this enlightening observation, "Once in a while it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they have been told to." This idea embodies the message I want to convey as a person and as an artist. When people view my work I want to surprise, intrigue, and excite – never bore them. I want to show the world in a new perspective, a different light, or capture what you would never have the opportunity to experience in reality. Original and unique work is what I always strive to produce. Sometimes it is easy to do things the way they have always been done, but I have found that my most successful pieces are those that begin with an idea, grow and evolve in my head, and are fed an endless supply of creative freedom. I am not afraid to take risks, I experiment and document what I learn, I approach art and photography with spontaneity and my art is often very stylized. My goal is to always push my own envelope, to try to improve with each new piece, and to provide the viewer with a unique experience to see something from a different perspective. I would hope that all members of my audience would be able to connect with my work even if my work is geared mostly toward adults.
I love black and white, macro, and shallow depth of field in photography as well as birds, trees and old structures.
The work I do is heavily influenced by my own experiences and opportunities, people I meet, and the music I like. Five photographers that have strongly influenced my work are Robert and Shanna Parke-Harrison, Francesca Woodman, Renee Peck, and Jerry Uelsmann. Some of my more recent work has obvious signs of their influences. Their work was inspiring to me and has helped to develop my own passion for photography. Other influences of note are my Introduction to Photography teacher (Landon Miller) who initially sparked my interest in photography and introduced me to four of the five photographers I have listed above, my two dimensional design teacher, Deb Schneider, who helped me to see that I can do whatever I want and that my possibilities are endless, my family and friends, and especially my Dad who has been so supportive, encouraging, and who has shown genuine trust in my abilities that gave me just that extra encouragement I needed.
I grew up in Nephi, Utah. After graduating from high school I moved to Cedar City, and began my university studies as a history major. Spring semester of my sophomore year I took an elective Introduction to Photography course. Something clicked for me when I took that class, and by the end of the course I changed my major. In the fall of 2011 I declared myself as a Studio Arts major with an emphasis in Photography. I will graduate from Southern Utah University in the Spring of 2014 and intend to enter a graduate program in Photography. I began taking pictures for fun, then for my class, and then by request. People began hiring me for family, groups, and individual portraiture. More recently my work involves projects or series that I create for myself. The results of these projects are currently entered in contests, exhibitions, and have been accepted for publication. My art interests have expanded. I constantly am working on new pieces, exploring mediums I have never used before.
