Mark McGowan may have repented – but has reminded us of the threat to religious freedom in Australia
Stephen Chavura
Yesterday, the Western Australian government backed down from its decision to cancel a booking made by Australian Christian Lobby to run an event in state-owned — ie, taxpayer-funded — after originally justifying its actions with the claim the ACL has "views opposing the state government" and that its views "don't align with the state government".
The ACL was also told its event could not go ahead at the venue because its views are not representative of the vast majority of Western Australians.
This represents a historical moment, not just in Australian church-state relations, but in Australia's history as a liberal democracy. What we are seeing is a gang of state-backed ideological thugs determining what may and may not be said in public institutions.
An entitlement complex has emerged among managers and HR personnel in government and corporate organisations that tramples our long-standing liberties of speech and conscience. Now that Attorney-General Michaelia Cash is bringing a major rewrite of the Religious Discrimination Bill to federal parliament by December, we need to seize the opportunity to nip this entitlement complex in the bud.
The bill is contentious, but what should not be lost in the debate is the real-life urgency of this issue. The much-discussed Israel Folau case and the recent ACL case are merely the tip of an otherwise obscure iceberg of cases in a disturbing trend of therapeutic cancel culture, or people's freedoms being denied or compromised, usually in the name of LGBTQ mental health and "safety".
Since 2017 the Canberra-based Human Rights Law Alliance has had hundreds of individuals from around Australia contact it to report cases of discrimination and harassment because their religious views, particularly in the workplace, are often deemed "harmful" and accused of making people feel "unsafe". Some have even been accused of making their own homes "unsafe" for their own children solely because of their views on gender identity.
Details of many of the cases are available at the Australia Watch website, but here is a typical sample from the last few years:
Rabbi Dr Shimon Cowen, a noted scholar and son of former governor-general Sir Zelman Cowan, was Senior Honorary Associate at Monash University until he emailed numerous community figures informing them about a booklet he wrote on same-sex marriage from a Judeo-Christian perspective. After a recipient of the email wrote to the Vice-Chancellor accusing Rabbi Cowen of "blatant bigotry and homophobia" Rabbi Cowen's honorary status was cancelled because of alleged misuse of the university emailing protocols.
Byron and Keira Hordyk hoped to foster children up to the age of five. When the issue of sexuality arose in the interviews the Hordyks told the foster agency that they believed homosexuality was wrong. Even though the Hordyks only wanted children up to five years old, the foster agency terminated the Hordyks' application, telling the Hordyks that they could not provide a "safe" living environment for a child.
Henry was a teacher whose students asked him about his beliefs on transgenderism and homosexuality. As a Catholic he told them what the Catholic Catechism says. After the conversation a senior colleague told him it would be better for him not to discuss those matters in the future. Some months later, Henry was approached by a senior colleague and told to immediately exit the school because of the conversation months earlier. Without an opportunity to defend himself Henry's teaching position at the school was terminated. Henry called his school multiple times for an explanation. His calls were never returned.
Max is an experienced teacher whose school recently introduced new guidelines requiring teachers to affirm transgender identities. During question time, Max cited statistics indicating that 9 out of 10 children resolve gender confusion if left alone, that social transition pushes children down a potentially harmful chemical and surgical intervention path. Max attempted to discuss solutions to the clash between the school's new policy and his own conscientious objections. The school did not accept Max's suggested solutions and Max was handed a termination letter. He was abruptly marched off the school premises.
Chris is a government employee who had worked in his department for 30 years. His HR department began sending regular emails promoting LGBT issues to him. Chris asked them to stop sending them to him because he found it offensive culturally and religiously. HR complained about his conduct and the department pursued disciplinary action against him. Chris had received no complaints about his conduct from LGBTQ colleagues. It was only after Chris got lawyers involved that the disciplinary process against him was dropped.
Madeline is a Christian who was working for a children's party business in Canberra. During the lead-up to the 2017 same-sex marriage postal vote, Madeline posted on Facebook, 'It's ok to vote no'. When her employer saw the post, she sacked her alleging that she was homophobic and hurtful. Madeline had to find another job.
Kate announced to her family that she now identified as male. Kate's parents were committed Christians and believed that individuals cannot change gender at will. Kate lodged a Domestic Violence and Protection Order against her father, whom she accused of being "transphobic" because he refused to use her preferred gender pronoun. Kate's doctor supported her violence order against her father. Kate's father appeared in court at the required date but Kate did not appear. The application was therefore dismissed.
Alex, a senior executive in a government organisation, heard his colleagues mocking Israel Folau, who had just been fired from Rugby Australia. Alex suggested to his colleagues that Folau was merely exercising his human rights to freedom of speech and religion. His colleagues complained to management that his comments made then feel unsafe and constituted workplace bullying. Alex was called into a meeting with the CEO and an HR officer and told that his comments might breach the organisation's commitment to diversity, tolerance and inclusion. Alex chose to leave his job, feeling the work environment very hostile to him from that day forth.
The sacking of Israel Folau and the cancellation of the ACL's event in WA are just the most noteworthy recent displays of fanatical naked power being wielded to punish dissidents of political correctness, particularly LGBT ideology.
This is a Western trend, a therapeutic totalitarianism that is increasingly declaring traditional views on gender and sexuality not simply wrong or even offensive, but unsafe and harmful.
Ominously, the WA Minister for Culture and the Arts, David Templeman, and the Perth Theatre Trust Board Chair, Morgan Solomon, released a statement on Friday saying that "Theatres and arts venues have always been safe places", that "we respect diversity, equality, and inclusion", and that they will "strengthen" WA's venue hire policy "to ensure our venues remain safe places."
In other words, in future they'll simply justify discrimination against non-PC individuals and organisations along therapeutic lines.
If the HRLA cases and the recent behaviour of the WA government are anything to go by, the evidence shows that it is not a religious theocracy that threatens liberty in Australia – contra critics of Scott Morrison – but therapeutic cancel culture riding on the back of the therapeutic totalitarianism that's taking over the West.

TikTok Ban Would Hurt Americans Most
WASHINGTON—In response to reports that President Trump plans to ban the Chinese-owned social-video app TikTok from the United States, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) issued the following statement from ITIF Vice President Daniel Castro:
The United States would be the biggest loser if it banned TikTok.
Millions of Americans, including many Trump supporters, use TikTok to create and share content. Banning TikTok would not only put more than 1,000 U.S. jobs directly at risk, but also would hurt the even larger number of content creators who have built followings on the video-sharing platform.
While the app is owned by a Chinese company, all of its data centers are outside of China, and there is no evidence that it presents a national security threat.
The threat of a ban has cast a cloud of uncertainty over the platform. This is causing some creators to flee to other options and U.S. companies to reconsider acquiring the platform.
In a week where many policymakers have called for more competition in the tech sector, undermining one of the fastest-growing social media platforms would be a step in the wrong direction.
Moreover, undermining a potential U.S. acquisition would be a step backward if the goal is to enhance the safety and security of the platform.
None of that is good for the United States. President Trump should reconsider his options and pursue a solution that leaves American businesses and consumers better off.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is an independent, nonpartisan research and educational institute focusing on the intersection of technological innovation and public policy. Recognized as the world's leading science and technology think tank, ITIF's mission is to formulate and promote policy solutions that accelerate innovation and boost productivity to spur growth, opportunity, and progress.

Collaborative Divorce is Better
By Bill Powers, Charlotte Divorce Lawyer and IACP Member – International Association of Collaborative Professionals
I think family law attorneys are cut from a different sort of cloth.
Indeed, the best divorce lawyers I know are creative souls, with substantial talents and interests beyond the law.
Family law cases generally tend to be complex, involving more than just large sums of money related to ED (equitable distribution), support, and alimony.
They also may involve betrayal, hurt feelings, and the best-interests of children.
Your lawyer, and how they approach legal representation in a divorce, can make all the difference in the world.
The truly impressive divorce attorneys rely on their life experiences, unique personalities, and courtroom trials skills in providing legal advice you can trust.
Are Lawsuits and Litigation Required in a Divorce?
North Carolina was one of the first 13 Colonies.
Vestiges of British "Common Law" still exist in our court system today, including some traditional biases.
Divorce has not always been characterized as a fair, equitable process to all litigants.
Fortunately, the NC divorce laws evolved, as have certain notions regarding parenting skills, spousal support, and the distribution of assets.
North Carolina General Statute Chapter 50 now governs Alimony, Child Support, and Divorce in the Pine State.
A Decree of Divorce must be issued by a Court of competent jurisdiction, meaning a lawsuit is technically required.
That does not mean traditional litigation, discovery, depositions, and a trial are mandatory.
Collaborative Divorce is an option in North Carolina.
Article 4 of North Carolina General Statute § 50-70 describes Collaborative Law as an "alternative to judicial disposition of issues."
Divorce involves dissolving complex interpersonal and sexual relationships.
Some spouses prefer protracted litigation and a cantankerous approach.
To be fair, very few legal disputes present the opportunity for vitriolic disagreement as much as those involving marital assets and child custody.
It can be driven by bad faith and anger, overly burdensome, and exact a tremendous personal and financial cost.
But it does not have to be that way.
Courtroom Lawyer to Collaborative Attorney
How is that a lawyer known for trial advocacy and litigation is a proponent of the Collaborative Law Process?
Bill Powers, former president of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, the largest voluntary association of criminal defense, personal injury, and domestic "trial lawyers" in North Carolina, prefers Collaborative Divorce.
There's a reason for that. Divorce is different.
Accident cases, necessarily alleging negligence, involve a certain level of "righting a wrong."
Defending someone for a criminal charge, or allegations of DWI, center on constitutional rights, protecting the accused, and the Rule of Law.
Divorce should not be about vengeance, punishment, or exacting a pound of flesh.
If those are your goals, you're likely going to be sadly disappointed in the end.
Unfortunately, some litigants and divorce lawyers don't see it that way.
Reasonable minds may differ on whether Collaborative Law is a realistic, viable way to resolve disputes.
We believe, as lawyers who have dedicated their careers to courtroom advocacy, that when it comes to family law issues, there is a better, smarter way to go about things.
We firmly and resolutely believe children are not tools or leverage-points in litigation.
Deciding what's best for children should be predicated on their individual needs and their well-being.
Self-centered bravado and posturing in litigating child custody, visitation, and child support may ultimately harm your children in the long run.
An overly litigious nature will rob you of your time, your mental health, and your money.
Psychiatrists, family counselors, and child welfare experts well-understand the negative consequences of embittered divorce proceedings.
As such, they are some of the strongest advocates of Collaborative Divorce in Charlotte and a much-appreciated referral source.
Do You Still Litigate Cases?
Not everyone agrees with the Collaborative Divorce approach.
Even some collaborative attorneys in Charlotte sharply disagree with terms in a Collaborative Law agreement that include binding mediation or arbitration rather than litigation.
While that may be extremely profitable for divorce attorneys (some experienced divorce lawyers in Charlotte charge $500 or more per hour), we readily admit we don't push litigation, and all that entails, on clients.
"Courtroom lawyers" aren't at the Mecklenburg County courthouse by mistake. We enjoy going to court and litigating legal issues when appropriate.
We are intellectually stimulated by complex legal issues and discerning the truth through the presentation of evidence and cross-examination.
There are some matters related to family law, such as Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation, that are much more akin to an accident case or wrongful death claim.
When someone intentionally interferes with a marriage or has an inappropriate sexual relationship with a married person, there is a wrong to right. Court may be required.
As between spouses in a marriage, we think it's much better to approach the separation and divorce in a collaborative way.
Attorneys look out for the best-interests of their client.
"Winning" a case may very well involve the conscious decision not to fight private battles in public courtrooms.

Students 'Get a Life' at West Hills Middle School Event
Dec 08, 2015 01:01PM ● By Bryan Scott
By Mylinda LeGrande
West Jordan - Ninth-grade students had a dose of reality on Oct. 20 at West Hills Middle School. Reality Town is a hands-on experience where students are allowed to make financial and life choice decisions such as careers, home and car buying. Students were able to choose a career based on their GPA. The higher the GPA, the higher their pay would be.
"Work-based learning enhances college and careers and how they work together. Reality Town is the financial part. Grades do matter for this scenario. What we are trying to say is that you need to budget your money," Marta Rae Diamond, a work-based learning representative for the district, said.
To include different family scenarios, the students were assigned to be married with a spouse that works full time, to be a stay-at-home parent or be a student/part-time employee. Some of them were also a single parent. Each was randomly assigned to have one to three children.
Armed with their financial booklets, the students arrived in the school gym dressed in attire appropriate to their chosen career. The goal was to stop at each financial booth that was manned mostly by parent volunteers. Booths were comprised of housing, taxes, transportation, groceries, bank, child care, doctor's office, utilities, entertainment and others. With a set amount of income they were able to pay bills, choose housing and transportation.
America First Credit Union representative, Melissa Veltri, assisted in the financial/banking booth. The bank also donated the booklets and checkbooks for the students to use during the event.
"We really believe in promoting financial literacy and financial education. These kids are going to be our future; they are going to our next members, borrowers and savers. We come out in the community and do various activities with the kids not to necessarily promote ourselves, but to be in the community and give correct information," Veltri said.
This school experience was meant to be fun for the students, but also proved stressful. If wise choices weren't made or there was a calculation error in their checkbook, students ran out of money and had to visit the financial advice booth where they were advised to sell their expensive house back, get a loan or be advised to get a second job.
It wasn't without problems, either. One student, Lyndsey, had a salary of over $90,000 as a psychologist, but also had a spouse who was a student and worked part time, and had three kids. She wasn't allowed to use the spouse's income for childcare, which seemed unrealistic. She seemed very flustered, as she explained why she wasn't having a good time.
"I made all the right economic choices: buying the cheapest house and car, choosing the economic choice on food, and I still ended up with no money. I'm not sure if the volunteers calculated my checkbook wrong for me or what, but I didn't even go to all the booths. How does that happen with my amount of given income?" she said.
Despite the stress of the real-to-life experience, it was an overall success. Students experienced how their choices and grades they make now will impact them in the future.
"I think it's a really good hands-on learning experience. I'm trying to teach my kids how to manage their money. This helps them understand what moms and dads do," parent of a WHMS student, Marnie Brussell, said.

A filling meal you can whip up in no time, and it's perfect for any time of day.
This simple veggie omelette recipe is one of my go-to's for a fast and filling meal at home. You can vary the ingredients used, but the recipe below with spring onions, tomato and fresh herbs is my preference.
If possible I highly suggest making your omelette in a non-stick or cast iron frying pan for easier 'flipping' results.
To serve add a fresh salad or a good helping of guacamole and your favourite fresh herbs. Enjoy this simple but very satisfying meat free meal.
Serving Suggestions: Top with torn coriander, and the spring onion tops. Guacamole is a great accompaniment to a veggie omelette, as well as a nice and hearty fresh salad. The one I've featured includes tomato, cucumber, purple sweet potato, yellow sweet potato, avocado, coriander, lime juice, olive oil, a dash of rice vinegar and some salt and pepper.


Truck bed dimensions for a Dodge truck differ because there are so many variants. A Dodge SB RC has a 79 inch long bed. The Stepside SB RC bed is 80 inches long. The LB RC has a 99 inch bed while the LB 3 1500 bed is 99 inches in length. The company's truck line is now called Ram.

Its height is 75.7-80.8 in (1923–2052 mm). The width is 79.5 in (2,019 mm). With towing mirrors it is 96 in (2,438 mm). The truck bed dimensions for a Dodge truck varies greatly when it comes to the lengths. It ranges from 249.7 in (6,342 mm) to 295.1 in (7,496 mm).
The wheelbase ranges from 160.5 in (4,077 mm) to 204.3 in (5,189 mm). The engines used vary. The choices include the 8.3 L Viper V10, 3.7 L V6, 6.7 L Cummins diesel I6, 5.9 L Cummins diesel I6 and 5.7 L Hemi V8.
The height is 77.1 in (1,958 mm). Its width is 93.5 in (2,375 mm) (towing mirrors) / 79.4 in (2,017 mm). The length is 204.1 in (5,184 mm) to 244.1 in (6,200 mm). The wheelbase is 118.7 in (3,015 mm) (2-door, short bed to 154.7 in (3,929 mm).
As these figures show, the truck bed dimensions for a Dodge truck are extremely diverse. This list does not even include their earlier models and variants.

Christian Activist E.W. Jackson Got Crushed in Virginia's GOP Senate Primary June 12, 2018 Hemant Mehta
Christian Activist E.W. Jackson Got Crushed in Virginia's GOP Senate Primary
E.W. Jackson, the Christian activist who tried and failed in 2013 to become Virginia's Lt. Governor, has now tried and failed to become the Republican challenger for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Tim Kaine.
He was crushed tonight by his two primary opponents, Corey Stewart (who won the primary) and Nick Freitas. Jackson only secured 12% of the vote while each of the other two men received more than 40% each.
That's good news for the GOP, since there's no way in hell they wanted Jackson on the ticket this November.
Just last month, Jackson told an audience that America has "never been" racist and blamed slavery on "Arab Muslims." He also said NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem are traitors who needed to get out of the country. He said public schools needed to promote Christianity and that Christians who didn't vote (presumably for people like him) were committing a "sin against God."
Even in the age of Donald Trump, that's a lot of batshit to deal with.
Instead of Jackson, the Republicans will have Corey Stewart on the ballot. But it's not like they're thrilled about that either.
Mr. Stewart, who has attacked illegal immigration in heated language and fiercely defended the state's Confederate monuments, edged Nick Freitas, a conservative state legislator…
Mr. Stewart, who nearly seized the Republican nomination for governor last year, has savaged G.O.P. leaders in the state and has faced intense scrutiny for his associations with multiple white nationalist figures.
Yikes. Virginia Republicans thought Jackson was too extreme… and went with a guy who's also too extreme. That's one Senate race Democrats won't have to worry about this November.
There's also another benefit to Stewart's Trumpiness.
Republicans feared that having Mr. Stewart as their nominee against Mr. Kaine, the former vice-presidential nominee, will spur moderate voters and women to desert the party in droves, imperiling several contested House seats in the state.
The crazier things Stewart says, the less motivated Republicans will be to vote in the midterms. And if they don't vote, Democrats could have an edge in competitive House seats. Beautiful.
There's an interesting story about these two candidates from last December, when the primary campaign was just beginning. Stewart, then campaigning for alleged child molester Roy Moore, was asked about Jackson and his frequently incendiary comments. Stewart wrote Jackson off as crazy. He said Jackson was "off his meds" and that he was "seriously worried about his mental health."
Virginia Republicans may have taken that to heart tonight, but they voted for a guy whose own divisive remarks could be an incredible boost for Democrats across the state.

Newsletter Unkobon November-December 2021
In this newsletter: Autumn Meeting Federal Council, Herbert Piar introduces himself, Zembla visits Unkobon, free advertising on Mega FM, and finally the end-of-year wish.
Autumn meeting Union Council
In a lively autumn meeting on Wednesday, November 17, Herbert Piar was appointed as a member of the Unkobon Board. With a minor change, the Federal Council approved the Strategy Memorandum 2022-2024 (Dutch only). Unkobon's spearheads for the next three years: social minimum, dispute resolution/general conditions and affordable basic necessities. These spearheads will receive special attention in the coming years.
The multi-year estimate 2022-2024 (dutch only) was also approved. Three members spontaneously formed a working group to investigate the possibilities for a general local market in which the already existing markets are bundled in one place in the center. As usual, the meeting was followed by an enjoyable snack and a drink after closing.
Let's introduce: Herbert Piar
The fifth in a family of eleven children, Herbert grew up in Rincon. After elementary school not far from home, he went to Mulo, later Mavo in Playa and – like so many of his generation – he had to go to Curacao from the age of sixteen to continue his education at Havo / VWO.
With his preference for technique, Herbert finished the HTS in the Netherlands and started working at an engineering firm. After a few years, in the context of development cooperation, he was sent to FCCA, the housing foundation of Aruba,.
At that time, with the help of a Technical Assistant from the Netherlands, the FCB housing foundation on Bonaire started setting up Amboina. When the Assistant returned to the Netherlands after a year, Herbert was asked to continue the project. He eventually worked for FCB for 22 years, first as a project manager and later as director. In 2007 Herbert started his own consultancy company, now taken over by his oldest son.
On Bonaire Herbert met Ruthmilda, the woman with whom he started a family. His four children are all grown up now.
As a socially involved man, Herbert held a large number of board positions. At Sede Bonairiano, Sofna, SGB, Stinapa, Cocari and in sports he also contributed as a volunteer. Because he had little time left, his wife sometimes thought it was too much. That is why Herbert, before making his contribution to Unkobon, first checked with his wife to see how she felt about it. Fortunately she had no objection. As a member of the Unkobon Board of Directors, Herbert wants to make a strong contribution to social developments on Bonaire.
Zembla visits Unkobon
Bezoek Zembla
On February 17, 2022, a Zembla documentary about Bonaire will be aired on Dutch television. On December 16 a film team from Zembla visited Unkobon for an extensive interview on the growing poverty on Bonaire. Unkobon's campaigns for a social minimum based on the actual cost of living will reach a wide audience in the Netherlands.
Free advertising on Mega FM
You may already have heard: advertising for Unkobon on Mega Hit FM. It costs Unkobon nothing! Owner Ron Gijzen thinks Unkobon is doing a good job and supports the activities of Unkobon.
End of year wish


As the association's signature meeting, TIPRO's annual convention brings together membership, industry professionals and elected officials to discuss current issues impacting the Texas oil and natural gas industry, while also providing the opportunity to cultivate business relationships with peers.
TIPRO would like to thank our exceptional lineup of speakers, sponsors and attendees for this year's convention. Please take a moment to review some of the speaker presentations and event photographs.


Wild Week in the City!
Last summer, Jason, Henry and I were discussing what we wanted to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We'd all been hankering for a trip to New York, but also to St. Simons or anywhere else, really. We decided that New York it was. We would go for the Macy's Parade and take a whole week to make it the most amazing trip ever!
So of course, I started planning! We've been so many times, I knew what all we would do, but wanted to add some extra fun! I got help from so many friends and together, we made a super fun itinerary that pleased a mom, a dad, and a 10 year old boy.
This is long, so skip ahead or whatever!
Our favorite way to go to the city is to leave before the sun comes up and get there before people even leave for work! This was the earliest we'd ever left, though, on a 6am flight out of Atlanta. Yes, that means a 3:30 departure from our house. But? We landed in NYC at 7:50 and were in the hotel by 9. Boom. Full day in the city!
Henry and I got to our hotel around 9 and surprisingly, our room was ready! We love to stay at the Hotel Metro, a Midtown hotel about half a block from Macy's Herald Square, because of their family rooms. For about the same price as a Times Square room, we get two bedrooms — one with a queen bed and one with two doubles. Space for each of us! It's close to Metro stations and a Starbucks! They have a wonderful bar and restaurant attached and did I mention how convenient it is? Win Win WIN!
It was strangely warm that day, so Henry and I ditched the coats and any extra layers and headed out. First stop — Times Square. We grabbed a hot dog, hit the M&Ms store and Toys R Us and took a bunch of goofy pictures.
We had planned for a while to meet up and hang out with my friend Neil who lives in Queens. He had found a cool exhibit going on at Discovery Times Square that Henry was so excited about. It was an interactive Avengers exhibit that takes you through intelligence files of the Avengers or something. I didn't fully understand but Henry thought it was the bee's knees!
Henry and I met up with Neil after the Avengers exhibit at John's Pizzeria for some lunch. The pizza was excellent, the beer was cold, and the company was fun! Afterwards, all three of us went and walked around the area. We hit Bryant Park and the NYC Public Library (which Henry thought was really cool) (I thought there were way too many steps considering we woke up at 2:30am).
Afterwards, we headed to Grand Central Station to look around and get a snack at Junior's. There, Neil treated us to cheesecake and real chocolate egg creams. Uh, I thought the egg cream sounded disgusting until I tried it and now I think about them at least once a day because hello deliciousness!
Henry and I headed back to the hotel where he promptly went to sleep — at 5pm — and I didn't dare wake him. I wasn't far behind!
Tuesday morning, we slept in a little. We met Neil at Macy's to head up to the UES for breakfast. Because Jason and Henry are such Seinfeld freaks, he thought it would be cool to go to Tom's Restaurant. Tom's is the restaurant they used as the facade for Monk's Cafe on the show. Since Jason couldn't go, it was just us and Henry thought it was way cool! We had pancakes and eggs and a typical (but delicious) diner breakfast. We plotted out our day and set out for more fun!
Since we were up on the UES, we went to the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. Oh, it was absolutely beautiful! Henry was in awe on the inside of the cathedral and even more so outside when a few peacocks walked by. In the city. Peacocks. Just seemed odd!
Walking back over towards the main road, we walked through Columbia University. It was beautiful, too. I was freaked out being at a university where people weren't decked out in orange and blue, saying War Eagle to each other, though. I did feel my IQ points jump up a little just being on campus!
We took a cab down to The Met where Henry enjoyed the Egyptian exhibits and the Knights exhibits. It's one of the museums I'd never been to, so I was excited to see the Tiffany windows and the Death Becomes Her exhibit.
We moseyed down to Rockefeller Center where Neil was meeting someone to take pictures later. We did some run-throughs so he would know the best places to take the pictures over near Radio City Music Hall.
Henry and I headed back to the hotel and had a little bite to eat and crashed! A winter rain/sleet storm was predicted to come in overnight and Jason was already planning to come into the city earlier the next morning than originally planned. Sleep came easy after a long day in the city!
Wednesday was a very lazy day. It rained buckets, was cold and painfully windy.
Henry and I got up super early and threw on clothes so I could meet Catherine, a mom who lost her daughter to Group B Strep earlier in the year. I take every chance I can to be able to give real life hugs to fellow bereaved moms. Braving the elements was nothing compared to the early days of grief that she was facing. We quickly scooted back to the hotel to warm back up, though!
Jason came straight to the hotel from Long Island and we decided that we would ditch our plans to go to the Statue of Liberty that day. The only thing worse than walking around in the city in wind, rain, and sleet, would be going on a boat to an island in the wind, rain, and sleet!
The three of us took advantage of a day of rest. We napped, had lunch next door at Playwright Bar and Lounge.
We went the half block over to Macy's to goof off and then napped some more! Dinner was also close to the hotel at Liberty NYC. I highly recommend this restaurant — it was excellent!
Back to the hotel we went to hit the bed early and get our plan of attack for the Macy's Parade the next morning!
Up EARLY for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This has been a goal of mine — to go back and be a spectator — since I participated in the parade in high school. So of course, I jumped out of bed like it was Christmas morning! We bundled up (not enough) and headed out at 6:30am. Yes, the parade starts at 9. No, we're not insane. We got a sweet spot at the corner of 38th and 6th, right on the fence. Front row, baby!
We sat. We waited. We met the people next to us who were absolutely amazing. We watched protestors get tackled to the ground and arrested. We complained. We squeeeeeed when we could finally hear the parade coming!
The parade in person is absolutely nothing like what you see on television. There's a lot of behind the scenes scheduling that is too long to share in this post, but that makes it not flow well in person. But… if it's a bucket list item, it's one of the most amazing things you can do! In fact, put it on your bucket list right now! You'll be glad you did.
Yes, I cried like I always do. Yes, my boys laughed at me. Yes, it was totally worth it all!
Of course, Henry got too cold and then overheated (frostbite?) and almost passed out. He was fine, but jeez, kid, can't we go to a parade without you falling out?
It was snowy and drizzly and by the time it was over, we were done. D.O.N.E. Done. We hobbled back to the hotel on frozen numb feet and grabbed lunch at the hotel. And then napped.
I had made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner at Rock Center Cafe. We walked up to Rockefeller Center and had a glass of wine (and Shirley Temple) at the bar. Our dinner was amazing. Best filet ever, maybe! It was fun to eat on the skating rink level and see people enjoying skating while we dined.
But we were exhausted. We detoured through Times Square to see it all lit up before going to the hotel!
Breakfast was at Andrew's Coffee Shop. You may remember this restaurant from our last trip.
Stupidly, we decided to walk to the Intrepid Museum. It didn't seem like it was going to be THAT far, but it was extremely cold and windy and well, it was dumb. But, in spite of that, this may have been the highlight of the trip for both Jason and Henry. Boy or girl, I HIGHLY recommend this museum as part of your visit.
The Intrepid Museum is not only an aircraft carrier with many aircraft on board, but it also houses a submarine, a space shuttle and the British Airways Concorde. Tickets aren't cheap, but I can say with certainty that they were worth every single penny. It was really all worth it just to see Jason's excitement while he sat in the Concorde's cockpit jump seat!
After the Intrepid, we took a cab over to 5th and Central Park and walked down 5th Avenue back towards the hotel. A stop at Tiffany (I got a ring), Saks, Louis Martin (Jason got a watch) and the Lego Store and we were done for the day.
We headed back down to the hotel and decided to eat at the Korean restaurant nearby. None of us had ever eaten Korean and it was to DIE for! Like the egg cream, I think about Korean almost daily. Must find a good restaurant near us!
We had breakfast at Andrew's again. It's so close to Hotel Metro and delicious, it was hard not to!
Afterwards, we took the subway down to Chinatown. Jason and Henry had wanted to find chicken feet to eat but luckily, they didn't. I was already planning to gag and be dramatic the whole time. We did find a little grocery store and went in and bought all kinds of little treats! I found some black bean treats that were divine. I need to find out how to get more!
We lunched in Little Italy at Caffe Napoli where Henry had meatballs the size of his head!
We walked to Lower Manhattan to the 9/11 Museum and Memorial. This is also a must-see. I had been to the Memorial, but not the museum. Jason and Henry hadn't been to either. I wrote about the trip and strange events HERE.
Being me, and well, us, we went back to the hotel after that because Georgia and Georgia Tech were playing and Auburn and Alabama were playing. So we ate hotel appetizers in the room and drank overpriced beer for the evening!
Our last day. Like we like to get to NYC early, we like to milk the last day for all it's worth. Our flight is out at 4:30pm so we have all morning plus lunch to goof off before having to head to the airport. And with it being the weekend after Thanksgiving, we plan to give ourselves plenty of time in the airport.
We grabbed breakfast at Tick Tock Diner in The New Yorker Hotel. I had nutella french toast and almost had to go to the hospital due to the awesomeness coma I was in!
All Henry wanted to do the whole trip was go to Central Park Zoo. We didn't tell him where we were going, but took him there for our last morning! It is always so fun to see the zoo. Such a strange site to be standing in the middle of it with huge city buildings all around.
Afterwards, we went to FAO Schwarz and back to our hotel to get our things.
It's always hard to say goodbye to our favorite city, but seeing the city shrink behind us as we drove to LaGuardia was super hard this time. I don't know if it was because we had been there for a full week or just because it was magical. But there's always next time… which I'm already planning!
There are times when we realize that things just don't make sense. But once we think about it, they make perfectly perfect sense.
We just don't understand what it means.
Maybe we're not meant to.
As strange as it sounds, I think of Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas and her Unborn Child often. I mean, not every day, but sometimes I'll hear a word and think of her. Coozie, Grandiflora (plant word), Lauren (my sister's name)… They all spark a memory of that moment.
I don't understand why, but at the same time, I don't question it.
Thanksgiving week, while we were in New York, we went to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. It was the first time there for Jason and Henry, and my first time at the Museum. Let me tell you. It's amazing — a must-see when you're in the city.
In the museum, they have a room that is lined with photos of all who lost their lives on 9/11/01. Faces are smiling up and down, as if they are actually looking at you. And you feel them. I wasn't paying attention to names, just the eyes in the pictures, when a name grabbed me on a photo.
The one name that had grabbed me before, grabbed me again almost exactly 3 years later.
In the center of this room, there was a small theater that ran on loop, videos about those who lost their lives narrated by people who loved them. There were no seats available, so I looked into the room and on the wall were the words Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas. Of course I started crying because, WOW!
I don't know what any of it means, but I know that for some reason Lauren and her Unborn Child have a place in my heart. I know nothing about her except what I have seen in the memorial but I'm going to try to find out all I can about her. There may be nothing that ties us together, or there may be something.
I may never understand what it means. Maybe I'm not meant to.
Aah, BlogHer. New York City. Five days of doing whatever I wanted, really.
I went in with very small goals.
Go for a jog in Central Park. CHECK!
Have a Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity 3. CHECK!
Hit a good number of sessions. CHECK!
Go to all the official parties, at least for a little while. BlogHer has worked extremely hard and the sponsors are so generous with their time and investment. It would be insulting not to go. Also, I don't want to traipse all over town just to go to another party. Anyway… CHECK!
Rest when I feel like it and not allow myself to be overwhelmed. CHECK!
Buy this ring at Tiffany. CHECK!
Wednesday when I arrived in New York, Pammi and Jen met me, having traveled in from Connecticut to hang with me. They're with the Band and it was too easy to meet up! We dined on the ice rink at Rockefeller Center which was so neat!
We hooked up with Sandy and Kim. We drank cake vodka. We drank out of Red BlogHer Cups. We went to the Trailer Park Lounge. We drank PBR.
I went to bed at a reasonable hour.
Thursday morning, I went for a jog in Central Park. My sweet Twitter friend Kelly agreed to go… bright and early! We had a great time. We ended up jogging about 8 minutes of our 40 minute trek. We logged a whopping 2.39 miles and also got lots of talking done! It was too hard to jog AND talk, so we walked most of the way.
It was glorious. A gorgeous bluebird sky framed the tall buildings and green trees of the park. The sunlight was streaming through the trees and glistening off the dew that was still fresh on the grass. There were hundreds of walkers, joggers, bikers, paper-readers… it was a little oasis of activity and quiet in the huge, loud city.
Thank you, Kelly, for helping me achieve my goal!
When I got back to the hotel, I found Crystal in my bed! She flew in overnight and got in after I left to jog. We went to meet Lauren for breakfast down in SoHo. We navigated the subway without incident. The rest of the morning was spent relaxing and hanging out in the lounge at the Hilton.
The afternoon included a trip to Serendipity 3 and Tiffany.
There was lots of hugging, squealing, walking, thinking, swag-gathering, and standing in line once the conference started on Friday. I was so thrilled to meet so many people I'd been wanting to see in person. I didn't see them all, but in a group of 5000 people, that's rather difficult.
Here I am with Crystal in the big pic, (starting bottom left) Adam, Jenna, Crystal, Crystal, Lauren, Tanis, Kim, Crystal, and Erin.
The sessions that Crystal and I went to were great. The expo halls were great.
The Martha Stewart and Katie Couric keynotes were absolutely amazing. Both women are so strong, witty, confident, and brilliant. I'm in awe of them. They both seem to be at points in their lives where they are embracing themselves, and all that goes along with being "them." They're comfortable in their skin and are authentic both physically and character-wise.
There were parties and glitter and lines for vibrators and yogurt. So much yogurt!
There were tears and laughter and brilliant advice all around.
I'll write more about Voices of the Year and being able to read my VOTY post in front of a room of a few hundred people tomorrow.
And then, of course, the post about The Rockettes experience will come. I haven't gotten my brain in order enough to put my emotions into words.
This post has been in the works for nearly two weeks now. In the same way J and I were left speechless when we were there, I'm left speechless looking at the images.
A little back story, though. J was only 3 when the 9/11 attacks happened. She knows very little about any of it. That's why I felt it was very important to take her to see the sacred space, one that is silent and almost still in a city of hustle and bustle.
We talked a lot both days about the tragedy. When we were walking in Midtown, we tried to imagine the streets being filled with people running and screaming, covered in ash and dust and blood and fear. When we were walking to the Memorial on Wednesday afternoon, the sky darkened and the rain started coming down heavier. It didn't stop us. We still talked.
I shared with her the fact that Uncle Jas's main client at the time, Marsh & McLennan, was housed in one of the WTC towers. That day, 295 employees were killed. Another employee was also killed on one of the hijacked planes. She was left speechless. Until then, she didn't know that her uncle had a direct connection to the devastation.
We talked about the fear and panic and uncertainty that followed. She can't understand it. I hope she never has to.
Our first stop was at St. Paul's. There we got to see the memorials they have set up, mainly focused around the rescue workers and emergency crews that helped in the recovery and cleanup effort. Pieces of the memorial that emerged almost immediately on their fence out front was preserved and is housed in the church.
Badges were collected from the various departments from across the country and world that came to help with the rescue and cleanup. These remain in St. Paul's and continue to be added by those who come to pay their respects. We then moved towards the Memorial. It got eerily dark and the rain let up a small bit. Security was like nothing I've ever seen. We went through at least 4 check points. Made going through the airport look like easy stuff. I've never been more excited to go through an X-ray machine, honestly.
The first steps into the greenspace revealed the stunning scene. Inside this huge city, where the world's tallest buildings once stood, a beautiful expanse of grass and trees and beauty abounds. The whirr of the water from the waterfalls is in the background, creating a silence that's peaceful.
Walking to the first waterfall, we were both taken aback by the enormity of it all. I saw the WTC buildings in person, but she had no frame of reference. Trying to explain how much larger than any of the other buildings the Twin Towers were was difficult and I'm still not sure I did it justice.
Stepping up to the edge of the fall, seeing the first glimpse of the width and depth and beauty of it all… well, it was shocking. Unfortunately, the rain was coming down hard and taking pictures with my camera AND holding my umbrella proved very difficult.
There were names. So many names. We stopped at a few and instinctively just reached out and touched them, tracing the letters, remembering. Always remembering.
It just happened that we stopped at Todd Beamer's name. I had to fight the lump in my throat, seeing his name, knowing the story behind him having read his wife Lisa's book.
My heart sunk. I had to look her up.
Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas had just celebrated her 38th birthday, was a wife and daughter and soon-to-be-mother. She was writing a book that sounds like something I would like to read. She was on United Flight 93 and her life was taken far too early.
The fact that these were somebody's wife, unborn child, husband, father, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, partner, best friend… it was just too big to fathom.
As the water fell and the rain fell and the city seemed to be engulfed in silence, life was going on around us. But for a few minutes it seems like the world has stopped.
I pray that with every drop of water that falls at the Memorial, with every day that goes by, our children will live in a safer world than we did. I pray that every firefighter, policeman, and emergency worker stays safe and gets to live to go home with their families.
I pray that the families of all the people named on the two waterfalls find as much peace and comfort in the beautiful space in their loved ones memory as we found.
If you are planning a trip to New York City and plan to go to the 9/11 Memorial, note that you have to have a ticket and will be required to show identification.
I've fallen off the SOC Sunday bandwagon for a few weeks… glad to be back with it! Here go my 5 minutes of unedited, raw writing.
I just spent 3 days in New York City. My favorite city in the world. I took my niece and we beat the town to death. By "the town", I mean my joints.
I've put on 20ish pounds this year. I wrote about that a few weeks ago and about my weight loss goals. I'm proud to say I was down 10 when I left for NYC on Tuesday.
It's very obvious, though, when you're walking in NYC that there are very few overweight people there. I commented in my head about it as I have many times before but it was even more apparent this time for some reason. Maybe because I'm fighting my own battle with weight. I don't know.
The abundance of fresh foods in the delis and corner stores is great. People grab fruit bowls on the go and the beverage section in stores is largely waters and fruit juices instead of carbonated beverages. It's in interesting observation.
And the walking. So much walking and going up and down stairs in subway stations. A trip to the corner is exercise. A trip down the subway stairs is exercise. We know that in one day we walked at least 5 miles of the city. There is no sedentary lifestyle in The City.
For three days, I semi-abandoned the diet plan I'm on. I tried to choose smart foods when I was just grabbing something, but there were things that I was going to eat no matter how many millions of calories they contain. Like this Nutella and Banana French Toast.
I came home two more pounds lighter. I'm hoping that it kick started my body again and when I hit my plan back hard on Monday I'll be moving down the scale even more!
Reckon I should ask for some new pants for Christmas since mine are falling off now!
Link up your post on her SOC Sunday post.
ps: If you want to know more about the plan I'm on, contact Bonnie at Simple Health and Nutrition at bonniefaske@att.net or via her Facebook Page.


Mr Tunde Rahman, spokesperson to national leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has narrated how some PDP women led by former spokesperson of Department of State Services, DSS cornered the former Lagos governor at Airport and begged him for a selfie which is now being used for blackmail by the opposition party.
Tinubu's picture with the PDP women leaders has gone viral and is now being used by PDP social media 'warriors' to indicate that the national leader of APC may be thinking of dumping his party ahead of Saturday's presidential election.
While explaining the circumstances leading to Tinubu's photograph with the PDP women, Rahman said, "Yesterday on our way to Abuja, APC Leader, Asiwaju Tinubu, bumped into some PDP stalwarts at the Private Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
"These people who included ex-DSS Spokesperson Marilyn Ogah sought for a selfie with Asiwaju. Because he knows Ogah well and because of his mature politics, he allowed what he thought was a seemingly innocuous request.
"Now, Marilyn Ogah and PDP elements have turned this noble gesture depicted in the photograph below into a propaganda machinery and an instrument of blackmail.
"They even want to place this photograph as an advertorial in Newspaper in their desperate attempt to smear Asiwaju and curry support. The photograph has been turned into an instrument of blackmail.
"With the way she is using this photograph, Marilyn Ogah has sunken low. Many who were there saw how they forcefully demanded the photograph and Asiwaju obliged them even without his trademark cap. Please ignore their propaganda.

If you are facing financial crisis and in this situation, you are required to pay the school or college fee of your children or you are required to pay the emergency utility or electricity bills then cash advance loans offers have been launched by several financing companies or lending institutions for your financial help. The financing companies advertise their all types of payday loans to attract more clients and you can check the advertisement of all types of short-term and long-term, secured and unsecured loans on internet.
It is also important to note different types of loan polices are launched with different terms and conditions and these terms and condition often change due to the changing economic situations; therefore, every time applying for new loan then you should carefully study the new terms and conditions for the approval of loan. Although, these days you can easily qualify for both short term as well as long term loans but you should consider the following things before applying for loan because these tips will help to reduce the risks of fraud and these tips will also save you from any financial loss.
The most important thing is that your selected loan provider should be legitimate because non-registered loan providers will not be reliable and particularly, if you are applying for online cash advance loans then you should verify the reputation of your selected loan providers from different sources and form the site of Business Bureau. Your selected loan provider must be honest and reliable because for the approval of loan application, you will have to provide your personal information and if your selected loan provider is not honest and trustworthy then he or she can sell your personal information to any other people.
When you are submitting loan application to get cash advance loans then you should get information about the fee for the late repayment fee of loans; although, according to the loan agreement you will have to pay back the amount of loan within fifteen to thirty days but if you will fail to repay the loan within agreed time period then extra fee will be charged for the late payment of loan. Therefore, you should have complete information about late fee because if you have not information about fee of late repayment then your loan provider can increase it.
It is also important to note that when you are applying for cash advance loans then you should provide right personal information to the lending institutions or loan providers because your all personal information will be verified. Some loan provides ask you to submit your employment proof and they will also ask to send account details of your checking or saving account; therefore, you should provide right information because wrong information will become the cause of late approval of your loan application or sometime you loan application can be rejected due to the wrong personal information.

ACC Kickoff 2018: Quotes From Zach Allen, Tommy Sweeney And Steve Addazio
By A.J Black@AJBlack_BC Jul 19, 2018, 5:39pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: ACC Kickoff 2018: Quotes From Zach Allen, Tommy Sweeney And Steve Addazio
Today was day two of the ACC Kickoff down in Charlotte. This year the Boston College Eagles have defensive end Zach Allen, and tight end Tommy Sweeney joining head coach Steve Addazio for the event. Today they talked with the media and below is the transcript:
Boston College senior TE Tommy Sweeney
Q. Tommy, AJ Dillon, what you can say about having a weapon like that on offense has been, and being a part of this offense with him, just how he opens everything up and just how dynamic of a player he is.
TOMMY SWEENEY: Yeah, he's a phenomenal player. I think his play speaks for itself. He's a rare combination of speed and quickness and vision. Obviously we're a run heavy team, and like you said, it opens up a lot of different things play action wise and drop back. He's a tremendous talent, a very hard worker, and it's obviously evident in the tape and stuff, and for a tight end like myself who's blocking for him a lot of the time, it's pretty encouraging if you know if you can hold on for a couple seconds, something big is going to happen.
Q. Tommy, all five offensive linemen are going to line up again next to you. How much farther does this put this offense ahead of, say, this time last year, to have that much continuity, all five Linemen and the tight end to block up front?
TOMMY SWEENEY: Yeah, I think you're right. It's huge. We've been playing together -- a lot of these guys not even just last year, have played together in the past before that, too. We have even depth at that position, and like you said, five linemen and tight ends coming. With that, we've been running this scheme, Coach Addazio, for a couple years now, and like you said, it's built upon where we started last year. We have a whole 'nother season, whole 'nother spring ball. The quality of the unit, the cohesiveness of the unit is evident. It makes it when you have a tailback like him and when you all come together, it's a tough thing to stop.
Q. It's fun in this forum to get to know the student athletes a little bit more. Yesterday one of our students actually said I want to, as a goal, to be first team All-ACC. Last year you were recognized as third team. Not putting you on the spot, but do you aspire to be on a second team or first team reach year?
TOMMY SWEENEY: Yeah, obviously first goal as you go into any season is to win as many games as possible, but the individual notoriety is great, and to be identified as the best in the conference would be my goal personally.
Q. You had talked just a couple minutes ago about guys coming back. Could this be the best Boston College team that you've played on in your opinion as you head into this season, and why, if you believe that's so?
TOMMY SWEENEY: Yeah, we've had some good teams at BC over the past four years, but I think this year we have a unit of -- we have 16 seniors back. We have a lot of guys who have played before, and we've come a long way, and we've been through a lot, and I think that adds up a lot as far as how this year is going to go. I think we have -- not only do we have a lot of talent that we haven't had in the past, but we have a lot of hard work and grit that's been on the field for a long time, and I think that really helps as far as experience. I mean, experience is something that's not easy to come by unless you do it, right? So that's one of the things I think this team has, and we're just a cohesive unit. Everybody has been together and we're really excited about that, and I think that's really going to help us this year.
Q. Last year you guys really opened some eyes when you put up 45 against Louisville. You put up 41 against Virginia. You had 39 in a game, 35 against Florida State. As good as the offenses are in the Atlantic Division, how important is it to be able to score more? In the past you haven't really associated those kind of numbers with Boston College, but how important is it to score more in this division?
TOMMY SWEENEY: It's huge. I mean, we play against a lot of high-octane offensive teams, like you mentioned, and we pride ourselves and we have a pretty good defense, too, but we play good offenses. With the depth we have offensively and the versatility we have offensively, we were able to score those points, and it's big. Scoring points is -- it's how you win a game, right? And with the talent we have offensively and defensively, we can complement each other pretty well and put a pretty unique team on the field.
Q. In your time, how have you seen your role evolve? Last year was kind of a breakout for you, but how have you seen your role change and grow?
TOMMY SWEENEY: Yeah, I've been playing for a while now, but as you get older, your role increases in the locker room and on the field, and I think on the field, it's slowly -- as we've -- our offense is very complementary, so being a tight end, if I can play great in the run game and be a good run blocker, it'll open up for me down the seams, on the outside, in play action and stuff like that. So just kind of the evolution of the whole offense has really contributed to my personal evolution, I think, in a big way. Each year we progress and we've gotten better, and it kind of correlates to my personal play, as well, if that makes sense.
Q. Tell us a little bit about your teammate Zach Allen.
TOMMY SWEENEY: He's a tremendous hard worker. He's huge. He's hard to block. I block him every day -- well, line up against him every day. Sometimes I block him, sometimes he gets me, and tremendous competitor. He's got some crazy style. He was one of two defensive linemen with 100 tackles last year. That speaks for itself. He's pretty uncommon and he's pretty unique and a great kid. He works his tail off, and he's a tremendous football player.
Q. Can you describe your head coach using just one word?
TOMMY SWEENEY: I think grit. I think grit is a good word for Coach Addazio.
Boston College senior DE Zach Allen
Q. Zach, why don't you describe your teammate here.
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, Tom Sweeney, I think of him as Mr. Reliable. Whether it's going against him in the run game or going against him in the pass, he's going to make plays, and he's going to help others make plays. You know what you're getting every single day. It's not like one day you get the best tight end in the ACC, the next day it's the worst of that. I think he's the best tight end every day, and definitely in practice it's helped me become a better football player, and very fortunate to have him on our side of the ball.
Q. You moved forward this season without Harold Landry. What did you take away from him and what are some of the things he imparted on you that you're going to carry this season?
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, Harold was a great role model how to conduct yourself. He was a true professional in all facets on the field and off the field, and I think just kind of following his example, leading into last year, kind of helped me learn how to be a true professional football player. And I think kind of helped me with that breakout year, just seeing how this all facets of his life, nutrition, working out extra, whatever it is, he really was a great example.
Q. Obviously there were a lot of eyes on Harold last year, and he was limited by injuries, and you kind of stepped into that spotlight. How did that prepare you for this year where you kind of know you're going to be more of a focal point? And how important has nutrition been to you this offseason?
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, the first part with Harold, obviously having him on the other side of the line definitely helped out a lot. But even when he went down, having Wyatt Ray come in was really a seamless transition. He's an elite end, too, so I don't think too much is really going to change this year. And then nutrition, you can't outwork a bad diet, so I know personally, I worked really hard with our nutritionist, Joan. She's been fantastic, and she has -- she's probably the most qualified nutritionist you can get, so she definitely has helped me out, and I'm looking forward to see how it pays off this year.
Q. We're kind of in the middle of talking season. Everybody is putting out their predictions and projections type deal. Coming from you, what's going to make Boston College a special team this year?
ZACH ALLEN: I think the thing that makes us so special is just our depth. I think you've seen how many different guys have started or played in games, and also our attitude about it. I don't think -- all those projections, they're nice, and nice to have good press, but I think the thing that's helped us out a lot is how hard we've worked this off-season and how it really hasn't like -- nobody has really kind of bought into it, all the fame and publicity, and they haven't slacked off. I think we've worked harder than we ever have, and I'm excited to see what will happen this year.
Q. I wanted to ask you a little bit about John Lamot. Seems like a guy that could really make a leap for the BC defense this year.
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, John is an absolute stud. Coming in on such short notice and just seeing what he was able to do for us was ginormous. Really excited to see what he has to do because another year of getting bigger, faster, stronger, and he's such a smart kid, too, just in the defense and everything. Really excited to see what John has.
Q. You guys pride yourself on defense at Boston College. Two years ago, three years ago had among the best defenses in the country. But the offenses keep getting better, especially in the Atlantic Division. How much more difficult is it to play against the teams in your league than it was maybe three years ago? How do you as a defensive player keep pace?
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely tough, especially with these quarterbacks getting faster. It's like defending against two running backs. It's a challenge, but I think last year when we went on that little winning stretch, we figured out how to play against those offenses. But they're only going to get faster and they're only going to get more complex. I think we have the right attitude about it coming in every week and preparing, so really excited to face some new challenges this year.
Q. Last year you had the unique opportunity to play at Fenway Park. 20 years, 30 years from now you'll be telling the stories about how you had 11 tackles on a historic baseball field. How was that experience for you?
ZACH ALLEN: Yeah, I'm a New England guy, I'm from Connecticut, so Fenway is like the mecca is New England sports. I grew up a Yankee fan, so didn't try to let it get to me too much. But yeah, having a good game there obviously is going to be really exciting to tell in the future, and most importantly we came away with a win because my freshman year we played there and weren't able to beat Notre Dame, so to have won there is a pretty cool thing to have on my resume.
Boston College head coach Steve Addazio
Q. Coach, how do you describe yourself in one word?
STEVE ADDAZIO: I'd like to say tough.
Q. Coach, it's atypical to keep coordinators around from year to year. You have your offensive and defensive coordinator coming back into their third year. What you can say about keeping that nucleus together and how atypical it is in college football and what can you say about them?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, it is difficult, and continuity is really important. Scot Loeffler, our offensive coordinator, we've worked together for a long time. At Florida he came with me when I took the job at Temple and now here at Boston College. I think we're aligned. He knows how I feel and how I think about things, and we have a great working relationship. I love him, and I've watched him evolve and really blossom. He's an elite -- first of all, the guy is an elite quarterback coach. He's one of the best quarterback coaches in the country, and he's a brilliant guy, and he's really -- as a coordinator, I think what we're doing right now, he's spearheaded here is sensational. Jim Reid has been around on defense a long time. He's a Massachusetts guy. He's had a stint at Boston College. I've known Coach Reid forever. I have a great deal of respect for him. High-energy guy, great people person, great relationship guy, and I think he has a great rapport with the players as Scott does. So we have two guys that have been here, they have great rapport, the players know them, trust them, believe in them. I believe in them, and I think it leads to the chemistry that we have right now. We have a great chemistry coach to coach, coach to player, player to player, player to coach. We love our guys, and you can't always say that. That's where it is right now, and I think that's at a high 10 level right now.
Q. Having spent time in Florida as you have and now being up in Boston College and as your players reported, Connecticut, as an upstate New Yorker, I was wondering, how do you prepare these players to play these southern teams in the sweltering heat?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, I mean, we -- I think like anything else, we have to have a great strength coach. We have a great strength coach, Frank Piraino is our strength coach, and I think it's in their preparation and how you train them. We train at a high level. I think we do the best we can to put our guys in the heat of the day so that they can get used to that a little bit. But I think at the end of the day, it comes down to mental and physical toughness when you're dealing in that heat, and I think our guys are trained on that front very well. And so we manage it. It has not been an issue for us at all, and I'm pretty well-versed in it. I can remember my days at Florida. I had a great appreciation. I was the line coach down there, and my guys -- I'll never forget it, they'd get in their stance and there was just water running off their bodies, and I'd say to myself, wow, it takes a special guy to do this. But I think it's all in how you train and all in how you prepare, whether it be extreme heat or extreme cold. The southern teams have to come up north and play us in October and November, and that's a nice thing. We like that.
Q. I want to ask you about John Lamot and his potential to have a breakout this year.
STEVE ADDAZIO: Yeah, we brought John to Boston College because he was a high school quarterback, as you know. He was a great athlete, great kid, and he's transitioned over playing linebacker, and he's just -- he's amazing. He's a natural athlete. He's got great acceleration to the ball and really came out and played at a high level, and then of course got hurt towards the end. I think it was against UConn right towards the end of the season. But he's going to have a great future ahead of him and really going to be a fantastic player for us. He's a part of that linebacker crew that -- last year we had like five of them go down and all these new guys like John came in and played at a high level, now we've got the whole pool of them. So really deep, talented group of guys.
Q. What did Anthony Brown bring to this offense last year, and then of course you lost him to an injury late in the season. How is he recovering, and what do you look for this season?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, he's doing fantastic. He's been just cut free to full activity, and Anthony is a very, very competitive guy. He's been training really, really hard. It was a shame, unfortunate deal last year. He was really starting to really peak, as was our team, which speaks to the importance level of the quarterback position, right? Because we all know whether we're talking about professional, college, or high school football, that position drives a lot of things. If you think you're going to have a successful year and you want to compete for any kind of championship, you need to have a quarterback that can put the team on his back a little bit and obviously needs to be supported by other players. But Anthony is a high-level player that I think -- we've got three more years of Anthony Brown in the ACC, and I think you're going to see him rise. God willing he stays healthy, you're going to see him become an elite player in the conference.
Q. I know he's not on the staff anymore, but Paul Pasqualoni, what you got to do with him back in the mid '90s at Syracuse, seeing him have multiple opportunities inside the NFL, then come back and work for you and move forward to the Detroit Lions, what you can say about who he is as a coach and what mark he's left on your life.
STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, first of all, he's the best football coach I've ever been around in my life, period, and I think he's the most complete and versatile in pro or college football, and I would say there's a lot of people that back what I just said up, too. He started me in this profession. I felt like I had the great advantage of being started the right way. I learned how to coach as a teacher on a fundamental level, held me accountable for it, and he means everything to me. He came two years ago, was able to come up and join us at Boston College, and I thought really -- was the really, really critical time for us to come in. And I thought what he brought to our defense was a great deal of security and confidence and belief system in him. We wanted to become more fundamental. We wanted to be able to play some zone coverage, not be all man. He brought all that into our defense, and then of course coaching Zach -- will tell you first hand, coaching the defensive front, he's an expert defensive line coach. And what he did with guys like Zach and Harold and Wyatt Ray, their development under Paul Pasqualoni went boom. The impact that he had was clearly measurable. I'm so grateful that he was able to come to BC for a couple years, but I knew that -- he had an opportunity to go be the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions. It would be hard for him to say no to that. I'm going to miss him. I'm going to miss having him come in the office and he and I just -- me bouncing things off of him. As a head coach, he was a guy who's done it all, seen it all, and that's a real big thing. I'm going to miss that. I trusted him. Critical decisions on the sideline, you can pull him and say, Coach, what do you think here, and you just knew that he had been in that situation before. Yeah, grateful we had him.
Q. Can you drill down just a little bit more on chemistry and doing it inside the context of wins and losses? 7-6, that's a number that's been with you for four of your first five years. How is it that the chemistry is going to get you to a point this year to where maybe nine or ten wins is possible?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Well, I just think that I'm a big believer in chemistry. I just feel that that's what college football is all about, and the ability to be together -- there has to be a passion and has to be a love for each other. These guys have got to believe that they're the most important thing to us, me, as the head coach and to our staff, that we're going to do everything we can to make it great for them. That their world is important to us, not just on the field but off the field. And that's part of being a part of a family. Sometimes I've got to be hard, I've got to be tough, I've got to be demanding, but I've got to love them. And it's easy to love these guys. You met these two guys. How do you not love these guys? I mean, they come from beautiful families. They're great kids, and we have a team of this. And so that in our locker room -- and it's probably -- our biggest ability to recruit comes from that. Guys come into our locker room and they get around our guys, and they feel like these are guys that can bring the best out of me. Like our culture, they come in, they go to class, they work hard, football is important to them, they live their life the right way. So there's a chemistry in our locker room that we're not going to let each other down and we're going to fight for each other, and when things are at their toughest at BC, these guys along with other guys, we all had each other's back. And we fought through the tough times and have gotten ourselves up to this point where we know that our strength is in bringing the best out of each other. That's the beauty of chemistry. That's what this is all about. For us to take the next step, we need to do all those intangible things, and we need to be together at a high level.
Q. Two years ago you guys were 110th nationally in plays per game. Last year you were 15th. Are you trying to increase the tempo again this year?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Yes. We made a conscious decision two years ago going into the bowl season, something I'd been looking at for a long time. I wanted to take what amounts to 12 personnel, okay, where you can be in a spread set, you can be in a closed set and you can keep the defense on the field and go as fast as we can go and not allow them to substitute and make them deal with the combinations of a spread game and a power game together. And we wanted to get more plays, more opportunities for explosives, and we finally broke out of that. Now we've been fine-tuning that. This year we want to take it to another level. So last year we got ourselves up -- you mentioned it. We went from whatever to whatever in terms of total plays run, and I'd like to be in the top, without question, Top 5 in the country in the amount of plays that we can run. So that's absolutely a goal and done by design.
Q. Because of the fine play of Anthony and the five linemen, Tommy, Dillon, running back, you guys scored 35 or more in half your games. We haven't associated high scores with Boston College in the past. How important is it to be able to score in the Atlantic Division at this point in time given the high-powered offenses that you see?
STEVE ADDAZIO: Yeah, well, I think this. Philosophically I'm still a believer in our plan to win. You've got to start with playing great defense. After playing great defense, you've got to be able to run the football. You've got to be great on special teams. You can't turn the ball over. Those are things that we hold dear. But I think the byproduct of playing a faster tempo, getting more plays run, gives us more opportunity to get explosives, and good players. You're talking about an elite tight end here. We have a lot of really good players that we have an opportunity to score more points. I can't look you in the eye and say we're going to break the team down and say, score points. If you said, Steve, what do you want to be noted for, I want our team to be noted for the toughest football team in this conference. That's what I want them to be noted for. But I do and am enjoying the opportunity to score at a higher level because against the teams, as you said, that we play against -- like if you think you're going to play Louisville and hold that quarterback down and that offense down, I mean, if you played great they're still going to score four touchdowns. I mean, if you play phenomenally -- you take Clemson, you can play an unbelievable game, but they're going to put some points on the board, so you still have got to be able to put some on, as well. I'm excited about the fact that we're a much more explosive football team in every phase than we've ever been.
Q. One of your colleagues earlier today said even after all of these years just before the game, he still gets butterflies. What goes through your body right before kickoff?
STEVE ADDAZIO: I mean, I'm a mess. I'm so wound up that it's crazy. I'm really working on that. I really feel like -- I don't want to -- you can't play anymore, so if you could play, you could just get rid of all that anxiety. But you can't. I think it's important to work on taming that down a little bit, maybe even on the sideline, taming that down a little bit, too. We've got a good team and we've got great players, and they're well prepared, and just let them go do their thing. I guess if I'm really wound up, does that really matter? I can't take a snap. I'm not going to change the outcome one bit. So I have this conversation with myself. Take a deep breath; everything is going to be fine.

My Little Ones And Me Indian Mommy Blogger: How Do You Define Caring Enough For Your Little One?
How Do You Define Caring Enough For Your Little One?
Few days back someone in the family mentioned that I care too much for my daughter, that my hubby and I care too much for her, more than enough, and that, in a way, we are spoiling her.
I didn't really answer back then, as it would have been a tricky situation - I'm always super-defensive, angry and irritated when someone talks this kind of senseless talk.
I mean, how do you define 'caring enough' for your kids? As a parent, isn't that what you're actually supposed to do?
I've prided myself in making my daughter a sensible, independent, smart, compassionate and understanding human being. She may be all of 5, but her sensibility, sense of compassion and understanding of the world and people around her are outstanding, something other parents and even her teachers have time and again told us about.
So what does someone mean by 'caring enough' for your little one?
fast and changed parent-kid zone and chances are, they may not work that great.
So, while this person mentioned that earlier kids didn't need so much pestering with food, that they would themselves ask for food and milk to drink, I found it a little weird. I can't believe a 3/4 year old walking up to parents and saying 'yes, give me milk, now more milk.' I can't imagine that, honestly.
Another fact that our children have to work with today is the vast range of choices they have and the immense amount of distraction that's there in their life. The person who mentioned the 'caring enough' bit said that we parents are responsible for creating so much chaos in our kids' lives, that we are the ones who are distracting them and making it more difficult for them.
Today, with so much exposure to media, global trends and other things in general, it's obvious that children are way more aware of what's going on around them and what's available and not available. Of course there are two sides to any situation and this too has a good and bad side to it. But just because something has negatives attached to it doesn't mean you should overlook the positives.
As a parent, I believe that you can never 'care enough' for your kids. It is what you are supposed to do now that you have this lovely blessing in your life - caring for your baby as long as you can, as long as they will let you.
Is Your Baby Sleeping Enough?
