[802.3] P802.3ae has been approved by Revcom

The note below says it all.

My profound thanks to all who have participated and especially those that have dedicated much of their life during the last three+ years to a rather magnificent piece of work. I sincerely hope that you and your companies will benefit greatly from this standard. Humanity at large certainly will.

I could fill volumes with accolades. Instead, let me simply say two things. I have been honored to have worked with such a great group; I appreciate the raw intelligence; the mutual respect; the dignity; and the integrity represented in our Task Force; I have never worked with, and doubt I will ever again work with a better class of people.

During the last 3 years, I have received a significant number of compliments regarding my work as chair. I have attempted to graciously accept these. But, I have always known, and attempted to make it clear, that my effort was not and is not of primary consequence. The credit truly belongs to you. This isn't some insincere attempt at humility. It is, simply, the truth.

Congratulations, Well Done,

Jonathan Thatcher
Soon-to-be IEEE P802.3ae X-Chair

Easter 2012

Easter was a peaceful celebration at our home. The kids had last asked for gifts from the Easter bunny that included a Barbie house and cars.

It’s been a tradition in the hubs family to treat Easter like Christmas in the sense of one big gift and a nice basket of goodies.

This was the first year the kids waited w anticipation much like they did for Santa.

In the am little man and little lady raced over to see if indeed the Easter bunny had brought them goodies. Of course their eyes lit up and dad and I took pictures.

One thing I like to add besides eggs full of treats is a book This year they each got one little lady got I love my hair and little man got the hungry caterpillar.

We also made egg snapped blondes. Now this was a first for all of us. While the bodies weren’t what we expected we had a great time making them as a family and decorating them

Hope your Easter was fantastic.

I decided to make another cut chenille baby blanket, this time with a robot fabric!

Pattern, etc.: Exactly what I did last time. I bought larger cuts of fabric this time around, and thus ended up with a generously sized 38″ square blanket. I still found it tricky to attach the binding, but I felt more confident doing so than last time, and the result is overall neater, I think.

Fabric: Everything was from my local Joann’s (hi, cashier Kate! It was very nice to meet you, and thank you for a friendly checkout!). I bought enough of the orange fabric for the binding this time around, so no need to get scrappy.

I did find that, overall, the cut side of this blanket feels much skimpier, and not as “floofy” as the first blanket. Anyone know why that is? The blankets were made identically, and the flannel is the same, so it must be something about the main robot fabric, right? The brand name of the robot fabric is “Doodles” and I think it’s broadcloth (didn’t fray much, can see crosswise ribs). Could that have caused the cut flannel to appear skimpier somehow?

6 thoughts on “Robots!

  1. pnbjam

    Love the pattern and the colours! Trying to figure out in my head how you ended up with 36″ square when the width of the flannel is predetermined and you can only buy extra length. Did you put a seam in each piece?

  2. Mary K. in Rockport

    But if you didn’t “cut” the robot fabric, how can it be the cause of lack of floofiness? Explain, please.

Self Interrupting

"Knock knock."

Mrs. G. knows that a dumb joke is coming. Probably one she has heard before. Often. Nonetheless, she gamely counters, "Who's there?"

"Interrupting Starf-"

I have to digress here a moment. This is, indeed, one of my favorites. The knocker says "Interrupting starfish." Before the knockee can finish saying "Interrupting starfish who?" the knocker grabs the knockee's face with one spread, five-fingered hand. Hence the starfish. Also the interruption.

So I got as far as "Interrupting Starf-" when my wife, realizing which dumb joke she would have to put up with, put her face in her hand. And then realized that she had completed the joke for me. Self-interrupting starfish!

She suffers much for art.

Five for Fighting: A Few Fighting Dems Break Through This Time

Of the 55 Fighting Dems – veterans of various wars chosen by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to run for the House of Representatives – five won. This is actually a pretty good showing for a batch of newbies, most of whom were against incumbents and/or in Republican districts. The biggest winner among the veterans was not, strictly speaking, a Fighting Dem at all, but a Senate candidate, former Navy Secretary Jim Webb. In the race we followed most closely, the Pennsylvania 7th, the Eldest Gruntling took to the hustings in favor of Vice Admiral Joe Sestack, who unseated a ten-term incumbent.

As Garance Franke-Ruta points out in the New Republic, it did seem to matter which war the veterans were veterans off . Iraq and Afghanistan vets were better able to address the current war issue than Vietnam veterans were, a problem John Kerry had. I am hopeful that these winning younger veterans will have an immediate impact on how the Congress addresses the Iraqi quagmire that we have created.

I also hope that the other 50 Fighting Dems, and many more behind them, run again and stay in the party leadership and in the policy argument. Tammy Duckworth, the wounded helicopter pilot who drew the unenviable assignment of trying to win Henry Hyde's old seat, was the face of this group. If I were running the party, I would find a way for her to be prominently involved still. And perhaps she can run again. We will never run out of wars, and we will never run out of a need for veterans in both parties.

We Elected a Centrist Government – Now Let it Govern

David Brooks has another sensible centrist column about who really won this election, "The Middle Muscles In." Since this is the rare week when his New York Times columns are freely available to all, I urge you to have a look.

I think the next two years could be a great era for government. The Republicans have the White House, Democrats have Congress, and the Supreme Court seems about even. The choices for our leaders are to work together, or to get nothing done. I vote for getting something done. This will mean compromise on both sides. The activists of both extremes hate compromise, and have long memories for politicians who they think have "sold out." Centrists, on the other hand, know that politics requires compromise. An uncompromising politician is not a leader, but an ineffective ideologue.

The presidential race has also begun in earnest. Today Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack became the first Democrat to declare for president. Vilsack is chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, the centrist/conservative wing of the party to which I belong. The DLC is committed to working with Republicans to get something done, as they did so well under the first DLC president, Bill Clinton. I hope Vilsack and others of both parties who begun to run for president in earnest will continue to push for actual achievement from the government we have now, without waiting for the promise of pie later when the other party is magically gone. Because the other party will never be gone. We will always have to work together.

Agenda for the Democratic Congress: Action, Not Recrimination

We won, and I am delighted. Democrats have retaken the House. We may even get the boon of the Senate, too.

The self-destruction of the Republican Party lately has been so spectacular that it has been hard to keep up with. One website showed films of people trying to read a list of indicted Republicans in one breath for a $100 prize. No one could do it.

A new era is upon us.

It might be natural, now that the Congress can actually find out what went on for the last six years, to spend the next couple of years in investigations. I hope, though, that they will not. Leave that to the historians. We are stuck with the mess now, no matter who created it and why. We need to do something about illegal immigration, and the trade deficit, and the federal debt, and global warming, and most of all about Iraq.

I hope Speaker Pelosi and (perhaps) Majority Leader Reid spend the next two months working with their new leadership to come up with a rich 100 Days legislative plan. Use the honeymoon to do something, and the rest of the term may be productive as well. Personally, I would start with the minimum wage.

In any case, I hope that the new government will simply move ahead, and let Tom DeLay bury the dead.

Anti-Abortion/Pro-Choice Democrats Can Win

Amy Sullivan has a fine piece in the New Republic about the unexpected rise of anti-abortion Democrats. She profiles Bill Ritter, the Democratic candidate for Colorado governor, with asides about Senate-candidate Bob Casey, Jr. in Pennsylvania, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, and Ohio Representative Tim Ryan. They are Democrats who support legal abortion and want to seriously reduce the number of them that women choose to have.

Tomorrow we will see how they, and others like them, do. A year ago you would not have predicted a big year for anti-abortion Democrats, or Fighting Democrats (the veterans who are remaking the party), or even that Democrats in general might have a big year. But Providence smiles on the party to take a centrist turn. And thus on the nation.

The Gruntleds will be following the election with intense interest.

A Surprise Wiggle in the Haggard Scandal: Evangelicals Say National Association of Evangelicals is Irrelevant.

Ted Haggard, who resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals in a gay sex and drugs scandal, poses a problem for other evangelical leaders. Some, like James Dobson, stand by him as a friend. I was curious to see what Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, the loosest cannons of the evangelical movement, would say. And of course Haggard, as NAE president and megachurch pastor, was part of the famous White House conference calls with evangelical leaders – what would they do?

The White House, not surprisingly, said Haggard's part of those weekly calls was not important. As David Kuo, former #2 in the White House Faith-Based Initiatives Office has recently revealed, the White House viewed those calls as a tool for pacifying, rather than listening to, evangelical leaders.

More surprising is the tack taken by Robertson and Falwell: they have attacked the National Association of Evangelicals itself as irrelevant. The NAE under Haggard has been more politically moderate that Falwell's Moral Majority or Robertson's Christian Coalition had been. Still, they had worked with the NAE for years as the umbrella under which many evangelical projects and ministries were shaded. That both men would distance themselves from Ted Haggard personally is not surprising; that they would dismiss the NAE at the same time is.

Souta Tamadate is one of the main supporting characters in Guilty Crown. He is a motion picture research club member and is Shu's classmate.

He is a kind person, who cares for his friends. He is annoyed that Shu is introverted, as such he wishes Shu would be more direct with him. He is forceful, usually pulling others in his pace. He is often told that he can't "read the mood". However, his personality allows a person to open up themselves to him. Due to this, his void takes shape of a camera that allows him open anything. Not only is he a big Egoist fan of Inori, he also admits feelings for her which causes an uneasy rivarly between him and Shu.

Guilty Crown - 03 - Large 03
He is seen with Yahiro asking Shu about the project that was for their club. Shu tells them he'll finish it by the deadline and they left him to do so. Souta is seen again when Inori is shown as their new classmate and tries to talk to her. However, he is stopped by Yahiro who tells him that he shouldn't be that way since she'll be with them for the

Souta gets his Void pulled out by Shu

rest of the year. At P.E, when Shu agreed with another classmate that Inori looked like a doll in real life, Souta calls him a moron and warns Shu not to say that to Inori's face. Later, he is seen listening to music in his headphones until Shu runs up to him and pulls out his Void, leaving him unconcious. He is seen the next day discussing with his classmates about Shu's capture by the GHQ. After the second coming of Lost Christmas, the students are confined to a section of the city where all the survivng students take refuge in the school academy. Corruptive events have led up to the school reconsidering their student body president, Arisa Kuhouin and end up choosing Shu, accompanied by Yahiro Samukawa. Yahiro proposes the Void Ranking System that ranks the voids from A to F, placing Souta at the bottom which denys him priviledge of vaccination since their supplies were running short. Souta is greatly offended by this discriminatory system that forces him and the rest of the low ranking voids to confront Shu to withdraw their Voids and practice with them.
Souta with void

Souta with his void.

Unknownly he was gathering a platoon of low ranking voids to scout the area for extra vaccines to prove their worth. Unfortunately, his selfish ambition has led him into danger when a squad of Anti-Bodies locates them. Shu attempts to rescue them, but unfortunately leads to the death of Hare Menjou where Souta acknowledges that he is to blame. Shu's personality immediately changes which causes him to destroy the Endlaves out of malice, pummels Souta and most importantly revokes his kindness where he reconsiders the validity of the Void Ranking System. Infected with the Apocalypse Virus, Souta is forced to work on hazardous condition underwater according to Yahiro's plan, and eventually turns against Shu (by pushing him to a crater) when he was betrayed by the other students. However, he entered the terminal stage of the disease until Shu made use of his void to absorb his power as well as the virus in his body, curing Souta by infecting himself in the process. Before the final battle, he and Shu make up, promising they'll always be friends, and is seen in the epilogue celebrating Hare's birthday.

Souta's void is a camera with wings situated on the side. It has the ability to open literally anything, such as metal doors, cans of food, holes in a truck, etc.

short story 'sons of liberty' in burly bird 4

my short story 'sons of liberty' is in burly bird zine #4, out now. check their site for ordering info.

both of you probably noticed that i've been quiet on this blogspot lately. that's partially because i've been using the site tumblr. go to for more writing news, my haiku diary, and other assorted geeking and freaking. i'll still post stuff on here, too.

reading on chicago public radio

on monday morning, i read on chicago public radio 89.5fm. it streamed on, too. here's a link to the audio of me reading my short story 'the impersonator,' plus an excerpt from the interview.
i had a great time. thanks to dj michael catano for having me on.

catching up

A couple things:

- CellStories ran "The Bullets Were Losing" a week before Xmas. The day after it ran, my girlfriend gave me an iPod Touch, and I got to read my story online. It was cool.

- My short story "Asa Berman" will be in Hair Trigger #32, out this spring. Hair Trigger is the lit journal published by the Fiction Writing department at Columbia College Chicago, where I go to grad school.

"Boston Noir" Book Review

My review of "Boston Noir" is up now on Mostly Fiction. The collection was edited by Dennis Lehane and is one of Akashic Books' Noir Series. This is the link.

While we're talking Boston, will someone please begin a petition to get the "What's the Best Way?" and "The Vallencourt Boys" SNL sketches online or on DVD? "The Best Way" was the game show about directions in New England that yielded the "pass eleven Dunkin' Donuts" and "there's a retahded kid sellin' fiyahcrackahs" jokes. "Vallencourt" was Adam Sandler and Kevin Nealon as two mushes with a cable access show. Both were spot-on Boston accent parodies.

Essay: God Was Magic

My essay, "God Was Magic," is in this week's Columbia Chronicle. You can read the whole essay online, here. Make sure to leave a comment about how I'm going to hell.

No word yet from Cell Stories about when they're running "The Bullets Were Losing," but it should be by the end of the calendar year. In the meantime, head to and sign up, for free. It's a service that sends a daily story to your mobile device, which they define as "Any mobile device with a WebKit-based browser; we've specifically checked iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android-based phones."
Honestly, that's a little bit over my head, but I'm not very tech-savvy.

Animal Crackers in My Soup

Remember those little boxes of animal crackers your mom used to give you in the supermarket to shut you up so she could get the shopping done? Back then they were about 25¢ a box; three for a dollar at most. Now they're $1.19 a box.
One nineteen a box? For that price I might as well let them split a rotisserie chicken while we shop.

that is too funny! i have honestly let my daughter gnaw on a chicken leg while we shopped. i didn't realize it was cost-effective.

It's cost effective, and, it eliminates the need to make dinner when you get home!

I just registered for SNOTCYCLE
as of yet... I have never ridden SNOTCYCLE
this time around... I plan on racing SNOTCYCLE
not sure what to expect

I just registered for the Single Speed category

I think last year it was 2 feet of fresh POW POW!
cross country skis would have made more sense than a cross country bike
but no...
it was a bike race
that said...
I guess if your bike was on your back and you opted to have snow shoes or XC skis
well... more power to ya

although I have never ridden SNOTCYCLE
I am familiar with the terrain... taking advantage of pre-ride opportunities and racing the Baker's Dozen a few years back
Go Time Racing on FACEBOOK

DCMTB rider and sponsor Joe Foley did a photo project at SNOTCYCLE

last Sunday the folks at Plumgrove Cyclery/Go Time Racing hosted an event at the location of the Baker's Dozen Course...
Hurricane Sandy Relief Ride @ Rockland Farms

I linked up with Dave Vannier and his boys for an afternoon of mountain biking

it was a fantastic opportunity...
wins all around!
donations were accepted in a wide variety of ways
some people donated cash while others donated goods
I brought a couple of dog crates to help house displaced animals along with a few other random things that I thought could be used
Dave and his boys made a cash donation

after we signed some waivers we were on the bikes
Dave took off with his younger son Emmet on my younger son Grant's old 24 inch wheel GT mountain bike
while I lead Dean and Dave's older son Rowan

it bummed me out to be riding without my younger son
but... he had other plans
my younger son attended a birthday party at The Adventure Park in Sandy Spring

it would be hard to ask for a nicer day
calm and cool
not quite brisk
but a little crisp
all in all a great day to be in the woods on the bike

 Dean and Rowan were strong on the bike
the flat twisting trails of Rockland Farms are a fantastic place for riders of all ages
faster fitter riders can hammer out things at top speed
while the less experienced riders can take things at their own rate

our pack of three was hammering pretty good

the boys were doing well on all the technical obstacles
in fact...
Dean was far more comfortable on the bike than I was
second weekend in a row where I have been schooled by my son
looks like the old man needs to get back on the bike

on the more demanding technical obstacles we backed things up and rolled each section within our limits

sorry... the text and the images are dancing together so poorly that I do not have the focus to finish this thought

LabTV Highlights Biomedical Researchers, Student Filmmakers

SMPA student honored for video profile on Professor Sally Moody’s lab.
June 02, 2014

By Lauren Ingeno

A new online project is giving prospective and current students a behind-the-scenes look into biomedical research laboratories at the George Washington University.

LabTV, founded by TEDMED chairman and entrepreneur Jay Walker, is an online initiative intended to attract young people—especially women and minorities—to the field of biomedical research through short, student-produced YouTube videos.

Mr. Walker and LabTV Executive Producer David Hoffman chose 100 colleges and universities from around the country with National Institutes of Health-sponsored research labs, including GW, to pilot the project. LabTV then reached out to the institutions, looking for undergraduate filmmakers interested in producing videos. Students who submitted an application were assigned a researcher to profile.

“LabTV is about exciting a generation of high school and college students to consider medical research as profession,” Mr. Hoffman said. The independent filmmaker has produced hundreds of documentary television series for stations like PBS, Discovery and the History Channel. “Most people who want to become professionals think about becoming a doctor, lawyer, professor—few think about medical research. We decided we wanted to change that. And if you can’t see it, then you can’t be it.”

Sara Jenis, a sophomore in the School of Media and Public Affairs, saw in an SMPA newsletter that LabTV was searching for student filmmakers. Having just completed an Introduction to Digital Media and Production course, she decided to apply. She was assigned to profile the lab of Sally Moody, a professor of anatomy and regenerative biology in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

In Dr. Moody’s lab, she explains in the video, researchers are interested in discovering novel genes that are expressed in the embryo during the development of the nervous system. This research could lead to the discovery of the causes of birth defects and other neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. The video also highlights undergraduate research assistants, who discuss their roles in the lab and how they became interested in conducting research.

Ms. Jenis said she hopes her video will show other GW undergraduates one of the many research opportunities available to them during their academic career.

"Just by observing the lab for two days and hearing the experiences of the researchers, I was truly inspired,” she said. “I hope that through my video, I am able to inspire other students to get involved in research.”

Throughout the creation of her project, Mr. Hoffman provided a template, mentorship and suggestions to Ms. Jenis. LabTV projects are ideal for novice filmmakers, who may still be honing in on their skills and identifying their interests, Mr. Hoffman said.

During the Tribeca Film Festival, held in Manhattan in April, Mr. Walker and Mr. Hoffman awarded $16,000 in cash prizes to the student filmmakers with the most promising videos. Ms. Jenis was awarded $1,000 and the “Outstanding Lab Profile Award” for her video featuring Dr. Moody’s lab.

A select number of LabTV videos are already posted on the project’s YouTube channel. In fall 2014, LabTV will launch its website, which will allow students to search for specific researchers based on their demographic information and scientific interests.

SMPA student Anahi Ruiz is currently working on a video featuring the lab of Paul Brindley, scientific director of the Research Center for Neglected Diseases of Poverty in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

LabTV is still searching for filmmakers to feature other biomedical labs at GW. Interested undergraduate students can apply by submitting a filmmaker application.

nic card named incorrectly in device manager

after image is loaded through usb the nic card appears with local area connection 2 :i am unable to rename it as an error message comes up :network card with that name already exsists  : in closer inspection of the drivers installed through device manager i discovered several virtual drivers that were hidden can you advise the purpose for these extra drivers

Re: nic card named incorrectly in device manager

Unfortunately, this is a minor side effect of supporting multiple platforms with a single image - the latest image supports 4 different hardware platforms.  Sometimes they share the same driver, but PNP already enumerated each one with different friendly names.

Re: nic card named incorrectly in device manager

[ Edited ]

It's not easy but it can be done.

Uninstall the NIC card driver in the Device Manager.

You'll have to search the Registry for all references to the NIC card name and delete them but impersonating the System account.  Some keys are protected so not even Admin can get at them.....least not easily.  You may need to delete the Key that contains the data not just the values.

You can do this by getting PSEXEC from Microsoft.  Run the follwoing command:

psexec -s -i regedit.exe

As you search around you'll begin to see other NIC card entries.  Delete them at your distretion but be careful!  You'll also see many duplicate "Local Area Connection" and various Wireless entries.  Delete them as well.

Reboot the machine and install the NIC card driver back.  If it doesn't install back, you can easily get the driver from the device OEM's website.  HP doesn't seem to install the latest device drivers for some reason.

Good Luck!

rh.jpgDecisions, decisions.  You make them every day.  Some are easy like what to have for breakfast.  Others are more challenging like what new networking switch will provide me with the best TCO based on my needs now and help me scale as my business grows?  I’m hoping that I can help give some guidance on the offerings we have for pay-as-you-grow switches with either Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) or Mesh Stacking.

HP stacking technologies extend the performance and scalability benefits of modular, chassis-based switches to both modular and stackable switches.  No longer do you need to compromise enterprise capabilities for the convenience and cost of a stackable switch.

HP stacking technologies, including HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) and HP Mesh Stacking, are included in a variety of HP data center, campus and branch office switches.  The operation of the two network stacking technologies is similar with some minor differences that I’ll highlight here.

Now here are the 5 key benefits of HP’s stacking technologies (both IRF & Mesh):

  1. Simplify the network design.  Simplify networks from three tiers to two tiers with HP stacking technologies.  Helping eliminate network layers reduces the latency that’s inherent in multi-tier networks, enabling better user experience, whether it is for voice, video, and other highly sensitive applications.  With fewer network devices to purchase and manage, both capital and operational expenses are lower.
  2. Enable higher performance.  Deliver greater efficiency and performance.  Unlike with STP, which can consume half of the network bandwidth, HP stacking technologies gives you all the bandwidth you are paying for.  HP stacking technologies keep all the links active and enable efficient, high-bandwidth connectivity throughout the switching plane.  This is true even for multicast data, which is often a major consumer of network bandwidth.
  3. Deliver greater resiliency.  Use HP stacking technologies to decrease network downtime by providing higher levels of availability and resiliency.  HP stacking technologies deliver faster failover than STP and its relatives, which means higher availability.
  4. Ease of management.  No longer do you need to connect, configure, and manage switches individually.  HP Stacking technologies create a single logical switch by grouping several physical switches into a stack or domain with a single IP address.  You can then control multiple active switches via a single management interface, which vastly simplifies network configuration and operations.
  5. Add capacity as you grow.  You can add capacity on a pay-as-you-grow basis by adding switches to the stack.  Initial acquisition costs are lower because you buy only the capacity you need and there’s no compromise on scalability as needs grow.

Compare and contrast stacking technologies

Although there are many similarities between IRF and Mesh Stacking, there are some differences as well, as they are for different types of applications. This simple table explains the common and differentiated features of IRF and Mesh Technology:

Are the 3800 performance packages offered online the way to go or do you end up with stuff you don't really need?

Job Tracking Software | 11-28-2012 07:33 PM

I read all about network stacking technology in this article and also read advantages. I didn't ever read or listen that advantages it will help for many person a lot especially me. I hope in future you also work with such same passion and update us.

Kiselev Ivan | 01-24-2014 08:32 AM

Hi. I have next question:
does different switches stacks with IRF technlolgy?
for example: does 5800, 5820, 5830 switches has IRF-compability ?

HP_Networking | 03-17-2014 08:38 AM

Thanks for the question!  IRF requires switches sharing the same IRF domain (in one IRF configuration) to have the same firmware. As a result, FlexFabric 5900 and 5920 may be in the same IRF domain. On the other hand, the 5800 and FlexFabric 5900 may not be part of the same IRF domain.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Derrick Garceau | 06-03-2014 02:19 PM

When stacking switches what throughput is expected between switches?

384-LED ball receives animation wirelessly and knows its orientation

We get a ton of tips about Kickstarter projects. Here is a great example of what we need to see in order to feature one of them. This LED Blinky Ball developed by Null Space Labs is the target of a rather ambitious fundraising campaign. But in addition to the fundraising write-up they’ve shared extensive details about the prototype.

The ball is made up of sixteen slices; each is its own circuit board hosting an LED driver. All slices use the same PCB design, but one of them has an ATmega328 populated on the board to act as master. Optional components on the master board include an accelerometer, and a Bluetooth module to receive animation data. To get the full effect of the most recent prototype you’re going to want to see the video on their Kickstarter page.

Think this ball looks familiar to you? The original design was developed by [Nikolai] as a performance piece for a friend. This version was inspired by our feature of that earlier project.

So, use this as a template if you’re planning to submit your Kickstarter links to Hackaday’s tips line. We want to juicy details on the project!

    1. Nope he isn’t, but we did our own hardware and software (some of the software uses the octobrite driver) , the hardware all from scratch it’s alos a much larger ball and works in a different way.

      We gave a shout to nikolai because seeing it on HAD give use the idea to make our own version of it, he only made the one.

      1. So.. if you make a car you’re totally copying Ferdinand Verbiest? I don’t get it. When the chinese copy they usually do it down to the detail if at all possible, and if they can get away with it they take the name too.

    2. Wut?

      They liked Nikolai’s idea and the shape, so they gave him a shout-out on every board.

      Other than that, they designed their own boards, software, pc and mobile clients, and made the source and eagle files available for untalented scrubs like me.

      What do you want them to do?

      I just wish they had an RGB version. I would mount that………….. on a pole, I mean…..not my pole, but you know…. forget it.

      1. Just my opinion here. Their impact on the result is really insignificant compared to the original work done by Nikolai. It’s one of the things where the idea matters and the implementation is really trivial. I don’t see a lot of improvement on the original idea and I couldn’t really care less about their redesign which is only important to them and nobody else. It’s a ripoff.

      2. Just my opinion that action taken to psychically make something is more important than the idea of making something. I think about making stuff i never get done all the time! This doesn’t mean when someone else takes the time to do it that i should get butt hurt they stole my idea i never had the will to complete. I dunno maybe it’s an american thing.

      3. Well, out of the scope of this site, you’re probably right, Sirbutts. Even though it’s not like Nikolai only had the idea, he had the implementation too. And now there is a group of people who took his idea and they are trying to make a profit off it AND they get free publicity here on HaD. This last part is what just does not feel right.

        But in the end I guess taking an idea of someone else and turning it into profit, yes, is a hack of sorts.

      4. Lol, svofski, if that bugs you , you must HATE all the Arduino clones out there.

        I mean, the Arduino guys had a great idea, made a great product, and look at all these dudes ripping em off and making a profit!

      5. Yeah the only inspiration we took was the shape, nikolai only made one of them. we designed ours from scratch, its a different design with a lot more features.

        we credited him everywhere, released all the files, added a shout out to him on every pcb, and

        we’ve made loads of similar blinky toys, its not really much of a change in direction ?

        we’ll be lucky if we cover costs on the whole project, nevermind profit. we just want lots of people to be able to get them, the components cost is really high, especially in low quantities.

      6. charliex, you see just what you want to see. I told “try to SELL”. And you gave me a link to open source project…

        I heard few month ago a interesting idea from my friend. He told. If you want get success, copy good ideas, add some features and try to sell. 2 from 10 devices will have profit :)

        Anyway, good luck

  1. I like how she juggles that ball :P

    On a serious note I already see room for improvements.

    Use RGB LED strips instead of stiff pcb mounted leds, this will
    -add color
    -ruggedize the design

    Mount everything inside a (semi)transparent (to diffuse individual leds) rubber ball (so you can bounce it off walls).

    Drop arduino in favor of something decent for the same price, like 72MHz STM32

    1. it’s arduino compatible in that you can load an arduino bootloader onto the 328P. The chip is 16Mhz so is plenty fast enough to refresh the leds. the bluetooth is just serial so its also fast enough.

  2. There is always room for improvement, the point is that these guys actually produced something. RGB LED strips would be a smart addition, but would also ramp that price up a bit. Personally, I prefer the unprotected PCB structure – the PCB becomes a part of the form, rather than purely for function. And I’ll bet that the use of an ATMEGA328 was intentional, so that it can interact with the Arduino environment and be more beginner-friendly.

    If you look very closely, NSL released the board files and C code in their SVN, though it does take a bit of digging. They named the project “NSL_LED_Ball_1S”, and you can find it here: http://www.032.la/svn/listing.php

    1. Hi Jason,

      We have released everything to the prototypes, it is not linked directly because it is a prototype and its not the final revision, so rather than everyone run off and make it from the prototype, it’d be fix the problems and then say , go forth and light up the world. We’re revising it from the five prototypes, feedback from people building it etc.

      As with all the stuff we do, its all public right from the start, instead of only release it after we’ve hit out targets or such.. Which of course means stuff might be broken or poorly commented :) but it’ll get better and i’ll check in the PC and android clients too.

    1. cool

      scary idea:
      1) re-build with IR-leds and memory card
      2) put in ball 2 diffuse IR-“light”
      3) design a moving 3D ghost-face “video” file for the device. (or any other scary face)
      4) fine tune “brightness” of IR-led / vid. file until “face” shows up on (cellphone)ccd-camera. (instead of blinding the camera completely, which tends to happen at high intensity)
      5) stage a ghost sighting by using cell camera to see in the dark… muahahahaha a glowing ghost… but wait, we cant see it with bare eyes!

      who ya gonna call? … Ghost Busters! erm ICSP lol

  3. It is a beauty, just like the original.

    Would be nice to see how the accelerometer would complement the design by adjusting the image so it would stay horizontally while the ball is thrown into the air.

  4. Re: copying or implementing production of an idea – think and see: Facebook.
    ‘Nuff said…

    There’s always room for improvement or enhancements. Egos aside, it’s a good idea that got implemented for production – that in itself is a work of art…

    Keep at it!

Devilishly Good Oatmeal Fruit Bars

My oatmeal obsession continues! If you've read my blog in the past you are already know how I feel about oatmeal. These bars started off being quite low fat. They were rather angelic, you could say, and then that little voice whispered "wouldn't those be even better with a little chocolate?" "You know they would be amazing with a chocolate topping and a sprinkle of nuts!" And with that, chocolaty temptation got the best of me.  So it's up to you.  These bars are very good just as they are and quite low-fat or like me, you can give into chocolate covered temptation. Come on you know you want too!

Oatmeal Fruit Bars  (Printable Recipe)

Source: Quaker, adapted

3/4  cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2  cup granulated sugar
One  8-ounce container plain low-fat yogurt
2  egg whites, lightly beaten
2  Tbsp. vegetable oil
2  Tbsp. milk
2  tsp. vanilla
1-1/2  cups all-purpose flour
1  tsp. baking soda
1  tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2  tsp. salt (optional)
3  cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1  cup diced dried mixed fruit, raisins, or dried cranberries

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine sugars, yogurt, egg whites, oil, milk, and vanilla; mix well. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Add to yogurt mixture; mix well. Stir in oats and fruit.
Spread dough onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until light golden brown. Let bars cool for 10-15 minutes before topping with chocolate (if using).

Totally optional but devilishly good topping:

6 ounces dark chocolate
2 Tbl. unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Place coarsely chopped chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe container and microwave at MEDIUM (50 percent power) for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the chocolate turns shiny. Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until completely melted.Spread melted chocolate over the cooled oatmeal bars. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Joanne said...

And because I have to add insult to injury. I bet they'd be awesome with coconut as well!

Although they look really delicious as is.

Half Baked said...

You're so right Joanne. I thought of coconut a little too late but was thinking I'd add it next time!

steph said...

wow! those look good!

grace said...

some people take things out of recipes to make them more healthy, whereas you and i add things to make them more decadent. right on--the topping looks stupendous, and i wholeheartedly agree with joanne about the addition of coconut. wowza. :)

Stacey said...

for a lot of reasons, I never use low-fat yogurt. If using regular yogurt, do you think the amount of oil should be reduced? Or just leave out the milk? Thanks.

Half Baked said...

Hi Stacey, I would just sub regular yogurt for the low-fat. I think you'll still need the oil or the bars will be dry. The original recipe called for skim milk but I don't use skim milk and replaced it with regular milk. I think you will still need the milk as well. There's quite a bit of oatmeal in these bars and I think you'll need the moisture as well as the fat in the milk.

The Food Hunter said...

They look delicious.

Kaitlin said...

These look great!

Eliana said...

These look and sound heavenly :)

muffinsareuglycupcakes said...

devilishly good is right.
the photos are evil!
they're making my tummy cry :(
need some right now omg!
these look amazing dear :)

Francis Kamau said...

The oatmeal fruit bars are great. this is an extra idea for a special meal for the comming mommies day. Thank you for sharing.

kimlay said...

If I used all purpose gluten free flour, do you think it would still work?

Half Baked said...

Hi Kimlay, I haven't tried the gluten free flour but it should work. Let me know if you try it!

Stacey said...

I absolutely love these - so great for me as a safe food when traveling (I'm corn intolerant). I've started using coconut oil in place of the veggie oil, though I've had luck using butter as well. The whole fat yogurt works great with no problems thus far.

Thanks for sharing all your great recipes.

Our Most Used Kids Craft Supplies: A Look in My Cupboard

CraftsAll Ages30 Comments

Ever since asking hands on : as we grow readers what supplies you have on hand most of the time, I got a lot of requests to share with you what kids craft supplies I recommend for those of you starting out doing activities with your kids.

I have a lot of odds and ends in my craft supplies, from brands sending me random stuff to try, to me getting supplies here and there to try it for an activity or craft.

But there’s only a few craft supplies that I buy for the kids over and over again, that I make sure I have on hand in my craft cupboard.

A list of kids craft supplies that gets used over and over for many activities

What kids craft supplies are the most used and I buy over and over again?

The supplies below are linked to a product on Amazon that I recommend using my affiliate link. By clicking on the link it helps support hands on : as we grow as you purchase from Amazon, however its no additional cost to you. Thank you very much for the support!

One time purchases, or rarely have to restock (these last a long time!):

  • A roll of butcher paper or art paper. Its usually about $30-$40 for a roll of butcher paper, but I just finally used my first roll up after using it for more than 3 years. It lasts a long time.
  • Ribbon, yarn and other strings. I bought 4 bundles of yarn a couple years ago and have barely scratched the surface of them, but they come in handy a lot!
  • A good pair of kid’s scissors. I think for any age kid, I believe George started cutting at 18 months. But definitely for those two and older. Let them cut, supervised, and you’ll be surprised at their ability!
  • Paintbrushes
  • Clear contact paper. I’ve probably bought a roll of contact paper 2 or 3 times in the last 3 or so years. Its great for beginner toddler crafts and art projects, but also great for window art! Always love contact paper!

I make sure to restock these craft supplies all the time:

My list of kids craft supplies that gets used over and over for many activities - including toys we use and stuff around the house

Those are my most recommended supplies to have on hand and keep on hand to do probably 90% of the activities that we do.

I do tend to used a lot of items from around the house too though that don’t belong in my craft cupboard.

Toys around the house come in handy a lot (the kids love it when we incorporate toys into activities). But also supplies from my kitchen cupboards and pantry are reused all the time. I sometimes do grocery shopping with activities in mind!

Quick tip! Don’t go by this list of toys to do activities with your kids. Find the toys your kids are interested in and bring those into your activities! They’ll be excited!

Toys in the toy box we use for activities:

Stuff around the house I make sure to have some on hand for activities:

  • Q-Tips (cotton swabs): I use them as paintbrushes sometimes.
  • Cotton balls: These are a great alternative to pom poms.
  • Scotch tape: I always need more! My kids like to just play with it by itself, but you always need it to hang up their artwork!
  • Permanent markers (Sharpies): I tend to use these a lot myself as I get activities ready.
  • Rice, Oatmeal, Salt, Flour: All come in handy for sensory activities or making our own paint.
  • Baggies or Ziploc Bags: Great for no mess painting or sensory activities.
  • Lots of measuring cups and spoons. These are always handy for sensory tubs.
  • Dish soap: Its just great to have on hand for clean up, but also can make foam or bubbles with it.
  • Of course, we did through our recycling bin to upcycle whatever we can!

Odds and ends kids craft supplies that we don't use ALL the time, but do use occasionally, they're good to have on hand if you have the room.

Then there are the craft supplies that are in my cupboard, but don’t get used all the time for our activities:

They do get used in some activities, so if you’re in a position to diversify and have the room to store these supplies, choose a few of these that suit what you’re looking to do with your kids!

  • Pipe cleaners: we used them as a fine motor activity sometimes.
  • Craft sticks: we made cool Christmas tree ornaments from them!
  • Buttons: I can’t seem to keep my button stash stocked as much as I like with cute buttons. When I do have cute buttons on hand we use them up fast. We tend to use them instead of glitter or sequins.
  • Pom poms: They’re great for simple embellishments for crafts, but most of all they’re a fun fine motor activity for toddlers.
  • Glitter: I try to avoid glitter whenever possible, but its great to have it around to embellish the occasional craft.
  • Glue sticks
  • Golf tees: we use these to hammer into Styrofoam when we have it. However, this is the most common thing that hands on : as we grow readers do not have in their house! This is also something we wouldn’t have either if I didn’t buy them to do activities.
  • Shaving Cream: its great for sensory play and making marbled prints.
  • Googly eyes: they’re great to have on hand for the Halloween season to make monsters!
  • Sequins: I actually dislike sequins almost as much as glitter. But again, they’re great to embellish crafts at time.
  • Beads: I kind of loathe beads because they seem to roll everywhere whenever we get them out. But they’re great for beading and making simple jewelry. We have some letter ones that have added learning opportunities.
  • Magnets: There are many magnetic activities I’ve found to do, but haven’t had much success with them with the magnets that we have. So these mostly sit in our cupboard. They came in handy for our interactive snowman though!
  • Hot glue gun: This is more of a mom craft supply than a kids craft supply, but I’ve seen many crafts around where kids use them too (be sure to get a low temp one for the kids). We just haven’t yet. Soon!
  • Clothespins: We’ve used them a number of times, its just not something I get out a lot. I love them for fine motor activities.
  • Rubber bands: I finally bought a rubberband ball and its coming in handy, but haven’t had the chance to really use it yet. Our favorite way so far is a very simple activity to just wrap rubber bands around!
  • Straws: We’ve used them for painting activities, but also love to blow pom poms around with them!
  • Coffee filters: They’ve come in handy for numerous crafts, especially flowers. However, this is something I found most of you do not have (almost half of you) so we’ll be using it less and less, especially since we wouldn’t have them if I didn’t buy them for crafts either.
  • Sponges: I just bought a pack of regular kitchen sponges that I have some of them cut up for painting projects. They get used over and over again.
  • Stickers: I don’t ever seem to buy stickers for the kids, they get them for birthdays and holidays and whatnot. They come in handy for busy activities to do when they’re waiting for something.
  • Tissue paper: I tend to save tissue paper from birthdays and put it in the craft cupboard. Its a great pair to contact paper for window crafts.

FYI: A shower curtain or old sheet comes in handy for messy play too.

That’s about it. I hope I didn’t miss anything, but if I did I’ll come back to add to our list of favorite kids craft supplies.

  1. amanda says

    This is a great list Jamie. I have many of these items as well for our activities. I could not agree more with your about Crayola products…the paint in particular! I too have had great success in getting it out of anything in my come in contact with. Cheap vinyl table cloths come in handy for messy play too. J’s favorite sensory material is dry pinto or a bag of mixed dry beans. We use them for kitchen play, farm play, animal feed, and construction play. I usually leave them in a plastic tub for quick set up and a great activity when I am preparing lunch or dinner. Keep up the great work!

  2. says

    Thank you so much for this list :) I do have many of these supplies on hand already and am finally able to have my dream “Art Room” For the kids in our new home :) I am so excited to get it done and finished so we can start making art :)

  3. Sue says

    I’m keeping my 2 1/2 yr. old granddaughter once a week for a Mother’s Day Out. I appreciate the list so much! I am also a retired elementary school teacher and unfortunately gave all my things away when I retired. Big mistake! So having this list is a big help.

  4. Cher says

    The 1 thing I do not have is golf tees. I have all the other stuff plus. I am always checking yard sales for anything that can be part of an activity. The one thing that I did not see on your list is sticky velcro. this is one of my main supplies so that kids can repeat an activity over and over. These are paper activities that have clear contact on both sides to make them durable. They last through several children.

  5. Cher says

    2 other things I remembered: 1- a package of good baby wipes. They clean not only hands but table tops etc.
    2-the liners of cereal boxes. They make good mats under painting activities. If you do not eat boxed cereal, ask family and friends to save them for you. They can be folded and easily stored.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

May 20, 2012

It was my first time seeing Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and they were absolutely ahhhhh-mazing.  Alex Ebert started the set in the crowd whistling his first song.  He made his way through the middle singing with fans along the way.  They broke into a full jam and kept the crowd moving all set.  Alex Ebert stayed barefoot and spent a big chunk of the show in the sand singing to fans.

When Jade Castrinos started singing the opening lines to their hit “Home”, the song took on a new meaning for the band and fans.  I bet they never thought that they would actually be in Alabama singing the lyrics “Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my ma and pa.”  It was a magical moment for everyone watching the show.

I wish I would have seen them when I had other chances before, but now I know not to miss out.  Their sound was huge and they are a crowd favorite.  Check them out if you haven’t!

HC Deb 18 February 1987 vol 110 cc902-4
8. Mr. David Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement of progress at the current Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe review conference in Vienna.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

The Vienna meeting has now moved on from the review of implementation to discussion of new initiatives. On 4 February, together with the other Western countries, our delegation tabled an ambitious three-stage action programme designed to ensure concrete progress on human rights, not only at Vienna, but thereafter.

Mr. Atkinson

Although we must all be encouraged by what Mr. Gorbachev has been saying recently, does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that the true test is the full implementation by the Soviet Union of the Helsinki Final Act, not least its human rights provisions? Will he consider tabling further initiatives at Vienna to allow for the guaranteed protection of Helsinki monitoring groups and for citizens of all the participating states to have the right of individual petition to a human rights commission within the Helsinki process? That would show that Mr. Gorbachev means business.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I welcome and understand my hon. Friend's endorsement of the importance of the Helsinki monitoring groups. Like him, we look for action to deliver the consequences of the words spoken on human rights by the Soviet Union. The proposals that we have tabled at the Vienna conference contain ideas to deal with the problems to which my hon. Friend referred. The first stage would provide arrangements whereby Governments and other interested groups could raise individual grievances along the lines that my hon. Friend has in mind.

Mr. Beith

Is it not important that there should be a positive response from the West to the limited, but nevertheless very important, actions which have been taken by Mr. Gorbachev in pursuit of his words, if only to make it clear to those who might challenge what he is doing that the achievement of real progress on human rights, while there are still thousands in prisons and psychiatric camps for reasons of conscience, is fundamental to the West's perception of whether we can do business with the Soviet Union?

Sir Geoffrey Howe

The whole House will agree with the hon. Gentlman. There has been a widespread welcome for the decisions and actions that have taken place in the direction of improving respect for human rights and setting individual people free on a significant scale, but we must always remember that that is only a small portion of the much larger problem with which we want the Soviet Union and its allies to deal.

Mr. Lawrence

Although we all appreciate and welcome the improved intentions on human rights from the Soviet Union, on implementation, is there any evidence that the Soviets are allowing more refuseniks to leave the Soviet Union, that they are releasing prisoners of conscience from imprisonment and that they are allowing greater freedom of religion and religious culture in the Soviet Union?

Sir Geoffrey Howe

It is a matter of making a careful judgment. There has been some improvement in respect of the treatment of individual cases. There has been an improvement, for example, although in a differenct area, with the ending of the jamming of the BBC Russian service. But all this takes place from a wretchedly low base. Massive abuses still exist. The January figures for Jewish emigration remained modest. There is vast room for improvement in all these matters, including attitudes towards religious and political dissent, and we await with interest a fulfilment of the promises.

Mr. Winnick

Should we not warmly welcome the progress that has been made during the past few months, with the apparent release of 140 prisoners? One hopes that the Soviet Union will follow this with the release of all those who have been imprisoned because of their political or religious beliefs. Would not the views of Conservative Members be taken more seriously if their anxiety about human rights was not confined to Eastern Europe, but included countries such as Chile?

Sir Geoffrey Howe

Having started off not too badly, the hon. Gentleman relapsed to his customary form at the end. Let us draw together both sides of the House on this. Of course we all welcome the fact that individuals are being freed and that there is some movement in the direction of more respect for human rights by the Soviet Union. We do not yet even know that all the 140 people identified to be freed have been freed. Let us welcome what has happened, but let us never cease to remind the Soviet Union that there is a great deal more to be done.

Mr. Sackville

Does my right hon. and learned Friend welcome the announcement last night of the release of Dr. Anatoly Koryagin? Does he agree that the release of a small number of prominent dissidents and political prisoners, and their consequent removal from Western news bulletins, does not of itself denote a real alteration in the stance of the Soviet Union towards dissidents?

Sir Geoffrey Howe

It is right to be both welcoming and wary. It is good in human terms that some releases have taken place, and it is good if they foreshadow much bigger change, but the changes have a disproportionately large impact on media reception in the West. Let us welcome what has happened, but let us go on pressing for a great deal more of a much more fundamental kind to happen.

I have always been and probably will always be a very independent person. I honestly would prefer to raise my children as a single mother and lately I feel like it’s more selfish thinking than independent thinking but here goes …

My daughter was raised with the help of my ex boyfriend, her father, since age 4 months. We both didn’t get along very well at all, huge physical and verbal altercations. The great thing about my ex and I is that although there were many issues between us as a couple we were able to raise our daughter, who is now 7 in a way that created a very positive, well rounded, smart little girl. We both were happier apart and so our daughter was able to grow up happier too.

I loved raising my daughter alone, what I enjoyed most was that I didn’t have to answer to anyone, I didn’t have to question if I should or should not go out to the bar to meet up with my guy friends when she was gone for the weekend, I had every other weekend off from being Mom and was able to be Brandy.  My daughter was able to co-sleep with me without having another person tell me that was a bad habit to get into, we were able to come and go as we pleased, if we wanted to take a walk, we did it, playground, sure and no matter what happened I was happy, truly happy nearly 24/7.

I find myself longing to be that single Mom again, no not the “same single mom” but a new single mom, one who can have her guy friends, one who can have every other weekend alone, one who now works from home but is able to better balance that work at home and life situation because she is happier. When my husband and I decided to separate, I feel we gave in too quickly to move back in together. Financially it makes sense, but emotionally it has been killing me inside. I have been questioning if I am thinking selfish thoughts, if I am just plain too independent to share my life with someone or if there are truly issues.

I think what it comes down to is that I am a very independent person, and I like my privacy. I think many of my relatives are the same way, those who are unable to stay in a committed relationship or those who have been divorced over and over again. I enjoy my freedom to come and go, I enjoy having my children gone every other weekend. I admit when my husband moved out and took the boys for the first two nights away from me, I freaked out, crying and felt like I had my heart pulled out of my chest but at the same time it was nice to have a much needed break from being Mommy. You see, I am the one who spends the most time with the boys and haven’t been away from them for more than a few hours at a time their whole life!

In the short time my husband was gone it was like a big boulder had been lifted off of my chest, I could now relax, I was cleaning like never before, playing more with the kids, dancing around, smiling and having a blast. I was able to put the kids to bed and focus on working from my computer on my blog and business clients. I was focused and driven, I felt GREAT and HAPPY again.

I wonder if I am simply just a person who is not meant to share their living space with someone, maybe I am just happier alone, some people truly are happier when they live alone. I will keep thinking this through to determine if maybe, just maybe that person is me.

Make it a Happy Day!

    Hi neighbor! I live in Saco, Maine. I too was a single mom for about four years, then I remarried; that was 26 years ago. At first I did resent having given up my independence again; resented having to tell someone where I was going and when I’d be back; not having as much “me” time–especially since my husband was a widower and had a son. My kids went to their Dad’s on weekends, but his kid was ALWAYS there. I finally realized that it was a matter of courtesy to let my husband know where I was going and when to expect me back, just so he wouldn’t worry. The kid thing was a lot tougher to deal with, but we got through it. Now the kids are gone, we have grandkids, and we’re retired. I still want “me” time. I have a separate room in my house that is just mine. My computer is there, my sewing machine, and other things I enjoy. I retire to my space frequently–it’s not the same as being independent, but I guess it’s the best of both worlds. I have the companionship of my husband, and solitude when I want it. But I think you’re right; some of us are just more independent than others.

    Wow! That’s a lot to think about. I can relate to enjoying your own space and your own time. I have learned to actually look forward to the weeks my husband is going to be out of town because it means my evening after the kids go to bed is all mine to do what I want. But, I must say I miss adult conversation and companionship – like talking over dinner and laughing at the things the kids do. Maybe you just need to find a better balance of alone time to refresh and regroup? I hope you discover what will make you most happy.

    Being in a committed relationship is hard work. I too am an independent person. Luckily I met a man that was very understanding of that. He lets me feel like I run the show and what I say goes. (Even if it dont) I love that he works a rotating shift and that he isn’t there all the time. I can’t relate to the kids being gone every other weekend tho bacuase my kids have never left my home for visitation with their dad really.

    Have y’all started counseling yet?

    Any relationship needs a certain amount of commitment and work to sustain. I do feel your need to be independent and have space for yourself. I too have been working a lot on my relationships and trying to get a balance between work/self and family.
    I feel that what you may need is maybe 1-2hrs alone.. maybe out of the house so that you can enjoy your “me time” and destress.

  9. Michelle (28 comments)

    I am just the opposite. I am constantly away from my hubby and I miss the time we used to share together. We were best friends before we actually got together and enjoy each other’s company. I feel like I am raising my children by myself and wish he was here more often.

    I think you need to do what ever makes you and your kiddos happy. Maybe you need a day away once a week to regain your “me time” and independence?

    I can so relate to this. My husband and I were separated for 5 months (2 years ago). I LOVED my weekends alone. I even loved the weeks with the kids but without hubby, although that had more to do with the state of our relationship and constant fighting than any preference for being a single mom. In the end we were able to miraculously work things out and he came back home to see if we could keep it going. We did. I do still secretly miss those weekends alone though.

John Lackey is avoiding the disabled list for now

Apr 8, 2013, 11:51 AM EDT

John Lackey AP

As bad as things looked for John Lackey when he exited Saturday’s game with his right arm dangling, an MRI exam revealed no structural damage.

According to manager John Farrell he’s been diagnosed with merely biceps inflammation and for now at least Lackey remains on the active roster, although a trip to the disabled list hasn’t been ruled out.

Boston won’t need a fifth starter again until Sunday, so a decision on Lackey could wait until the weekend, but given his history and how much pain he appeared to be in at the time giving him a couple weeks off to be safe sounds like a decent plan.

  1. deathmonkey41 - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:06 PM

    Isn’t it “Bicepts?” And secondly, he stopped doing 12 oz curls and his bicep got out of shape. This is no different than someone quitting smoking and then keeling over dead a week later. Stick with what works for you!

    • dudewhojump - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:51 PM

      It is not “bicepts.” You’re probably thinking of triceps, which is also not spelled that way. Mark Twain said something about opening one’s mouth once, and the consequences. Give that a look.

      • nolanwiffle - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:04 PM

      • cur68 - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:07 PM

        Did Mark Twain say anything about knowing your audience? d-moneky41 is bang on. In these parts it is most DEFINITELY “Bicepts”.

      • deathmonkey41 - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:35 PM

        These kids- how sad for them that they missed out on our pal Bicepts…

      • deathmonkey41 - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:46 PM

        And to not know what a 12 oz curl is…

      • ditto65 - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:53 PM

        Can’t say I’m a better person for having known Bicepts, but I am a different person for it.

    • cur68 - Apr 8, 2013 at 2:09 PM

      I should have kept reading down. Someone did indeed think you meant actual weight lifting when you went with “12oz curl”.
      ‘Cepts would have got that reference. Dog knows he did enough “curling” of his own.

  2. themagicfanguy - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:10 PM

    Give Webster a start or two while he rests. I’d like to see him in action.

  3. themagicfanguy - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:14 PM

    @Deathmonkey You’re probably not a doctor. Even if you are a doctor, you have no real information to go off of other than the basic info in this piece so how would you know how or why he got hurt? Oh right, you don’t know at all how or why he got hurt. For all you know, it was doing curls that led to this injury to begin with and continuing to do them might have made it worse.

    • mirmz - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:45 PM

      He said “12oz curls,” as in cans of beer, as in drinking beer in the clubhouse, as in the chicken and beer story. Sounds like you need to do a 12oz curl right about now.

    • stlouis1baseball - Apr 8, 2013 at 2:59 PM

      Dude…TWELVE OUNCE CURLS. As in…cans o’ beer.

  4. chacochicken - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:26 PM

    Maybe the disabled list is avoiding John. You know, not answering the phone, pretending its not home. Id say the ole list has had its fill of Lackey by now anyway.

  5. kjericho43 - Apr 8, 2013 at 12:31 PM

    I’d like to see Aceves get a start so he can
    1 suck
    2 do something absolutely shithouse
    3 get released.

  6. uyf1950 - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:00 PM

    Lackey’s “structural damage” is in his brain. That’s why they couldn’t find any damage to his arm.

    • pisano - Apr 8, 2013 at 2:46 PM

      Correct my friend, the guys a total dick head.

    • drewzducks - Apr 8, 2013 at 5:16 PM

      Then you have Micahel Pinedacolada. Structural damage to the shoulder and apparently to the brain, unless that DUI in Tampa was part of the great Yankee plan to have him fully immerse himself in all phases of the term “Rehab”.

  7. anxovies - Apr 8, 2013 at 1:24 PM

    As a Yankee fan I include a prayer for Lackey’s good health every night before bed.

Oscar Taveras needs season-ending ankle surgery

Aug 14, 2013, 8:53 PM EDT

oscar taveras getty Getty Images

From Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch comes word that top prospect Oscar Taveras will undergo season-ending surgery next week to help the healing of his high right ankle sprain — an injury that has been bothering Taveras since May 12.

Taveras was supposed to light it up at Triple-A Memphis this season and then make his major league debut by the middle of the summer, but he injured his ankle on a hard slide into second base in his 31st game with the Memphis Rebirds and has experienced setback after setback with his rehab.

The 21-year-old Dominican outfielder wound up batting .306/.341/.462 with five home runs, five stolen bases and 32 RBI in a total of 46 games this season in the Pacific Coast League. He hit .321/.380/.572 with 23 home runs, 10 stolen bases and 94 RBI in 124 games last year at Double-A Springfield.

The Cardinals fully expect Taveras to be ready for the beginning of spring training next February in Jupiter, Florida and he could be the starting center fielder in St. Louis on Opening Day 2014.

  1. afrancis55 - Aug 14, 2013 at 8:58 PM

    Should’ve done the surgery earlier instead of having this nonsense drag on

    • fearlessleader - Aug 14, 2013 at 10:44 PM

      The Cards have certainly been guilty of some strange and stupid medical decisions, but hindsight is always 20/20, and you don’t just slice into your top prospect’s ankle until you’re out of other options. This wasn’t a matter of knowing what sort of repair was needed and waiting it out in the hope that the joint would heal on its own; from what I’ve read, they’re still not entirely sure why it’s remained problematic, and the surgery is largely exploratory.

      Hope it turns out to be a straightforward fix so that Taveras can be healthy and ready to play next year.

    • forsch31 - Aug 15, 2013 at 4:28 PM

      1. High ankle sprains usually don’t require surgery.

      2. Most doctors (usually, the competent ones) opt for surgery as a last resort, because once you cut open something and start mucking around in there, there’s really no undoing whatever you do. So you better damn well be sure you absolutely need the surgery.

    • donnaturner6566 - Aug 15, 2013 at 6:38 PM

      Only seriusly intrested persons required .. please you have to work and use the computer and internet, and if you can do that and dedicate some time each day then you can do this with no problem. I have been working with this for a month and have made over $2,000 already. let me know if you need more here you go.. click as new agent

  2. okwhitefalcon - Aug 14, 2013 at 9:02 PM

    A tough ending to a lost year in Taveras’ development.

    The speculation on the possibility of the Cards going beyond a qualifying offer to Carlos Beltran begins in 3,2…

  3. pappageorgio - Aug 15, 2013 at 12:41 AM

    That must be one helluva high ankle sprain. Those things suck and generally take a long time to heal, but usually only require the player to stay off of it for a while.

    Just speculation….but surgery for this injury might indicate something a bit more sinister than just a high ankle sprain.

  4. blaze310 - Aug 15, 2013 at 3:21 AM

    fucking bust!!

  5. 13arod - Aug 15, 2013 at 9:26 AM

    If he would have had the surgy earlier he might of been called up this year

    • forsch31 - Aug 15, 2013 at 4:33 PM

      The doctor who made the decision to do the surgery did so because the three months of rehab didn’t help, not because of the seriousness of the injury. It’s a scope to figure out exactly why it the ankle isn’t healing, That’s not the kind of surgery you order “earlier.” I had a scope on my knee, after about 6 months of rehab and a coritizone shot didn’t help.
