Bailey's Daily!

Mallory sent this to me...whoever said History was boring?

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the1500's.These are interesting...

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they read thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood wasplaced in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold."
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the bibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist ofthe corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

Two bowling teams, one of all Blondes and one of all Brunettes, chartered a double-decker bus for a weekend bowling tournament. The Brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus, and the Blonde team rode on the top level.

The Brunette team down below really whooped it up, having a great time, when one of them realized she hadn't heard anything from the Blondes upstairs.

She decided to go up and investigate. When the Brunette reached the top, she found all the Blondes frozen in fear, staring straight-ahead at the road, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles.

The Brunette asked, "What the heck's going on up here? We're having a great time downstairs!"

One of the Blondes looked up at her, swallowed hard and whispered......."YEAH, BUT YOU'VE GOT A DRIVER!!!!!!"

woof:)

...and on Saturday, light up your favorite Cuban in honor of Monica..she'll be 32!

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and then he bailed out.

Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out. The lawyer then said, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live." He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.

The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace."

The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, "Not to worry, Father. The 'smartest man in the world' just took off with my back pack." WOOF< WOOF< WOOF!!!!!!!!:)

THE FOLLOWING ARE STATEMENTS FROM ROY WILLIAMS UNC CHANCELLOR JAMES MOESER, UNC DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DICK BADDOUR AND FORMER KANSAS AD BOB FREDERICK REGARDING THE SELF-REPORT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MADE TO THE NCAA:
Roy Williams: "For 15 years as head coach at the University of Kansas I tried to run a model program, adhering to all NCAA rules. We wanted a program that would positively represent the University and the integrity of our basketball program was always very important to me.
I am deeply saddened to say there was evidently a mistake. I want to comment on this report at this time.
It hurts me greatly to see some of the headlines and the news crawl across the bottom of the television saying some of the things that were printed last night and today. There may have been a mistake, but these sensational headlines do not portray a true picture of what took place.
I also regret that these three people involved are seeing their names in this setting. They are three wonderful people who are leading citizens in their communities, have a great deal of love for the University of Kansas athletics and have this same love for all aspects of the University. They are nothing but great people! I will address the report as it pertains to each of the three individuals.
1. I did speak with one alumnus and one alumnus only on the question of "May I give these seniors a graduation gift?" I personally felt this was not a problem and evidently a communication problem led me to believe this was okay with our compliance department. Therefore, I told the alum a small `gift' would be okay. I also stated the `gift' shouldn't be extravagant and there should be no campaign for this - just a personal graduation `gift.'
I did not know the rule that `once you are a student-athlete, you are a student-athlete until death.' Kansas never gained a recruiting or competitive advantage - the students had completed their eligibility and it was seen as a `graduation gift.' I have never promised anything to a prospective student-athlete, including playing time.
2. The self-report says that the second scenario of a `graduation gift from an alum was a small gift of $25 to $100' and actually began before I was the head coach at Kansas. I never had any knowledge of these `gifts' and therefore never gave `approval.'
3. The alumnus himself says in the report that I referred him to the KU compliance department and that is where he felt he received `approval.' The `gifts' in three instances were purchasing lifetime memberships to the university's alumni association and in one case the purchase of a suit of clothes for an individual. I never had any knowledge of these `gifts' and therefore did not give my `approval.'
Men's basketball is mentioned two other times in this report. I am bothered by them, as well. In the spring of 2002, I regret that a mistake in reimbursement of travel expenses gave one prospective student-athlete $6.22 extra, another prospective student-athlete 23 cents extra and another prospective student-athlete 14 cents extra. I also regret that two walk-ons on the 2002-03 team were given four meals at the training table (at a value of $26) for which they were not properly charged.
I don't believe there is any pattern of intentional wrongdoing in these cases, but they were mistakes.
I love the University of Kansas and hate that this situation developed. I feel strongly that this does not paint a proper picture of my 15 years there. I am personally very hurt by what has happened. My integrity and reputation are extremely important to me and the initial media reports of these incidents have in some instances been extremely harsh.
I take compliance with NCAA rules very seriously. If ever I do not, or the university leadership thinks I do not, it is time for me to move on. As always, my staff and I are committed to running a program in complete compliance with the rules. I will never do anything to embarrass this great university, just as I was committed to doing things the proper way at Kansas. I will continue to represent Carolina in a positive manner, always conducting myself as a person with great integrity."
Statement from University of North Carolina Chancellor James Moeser: "I have absolute confidence in Roy Williams. We are proud to have him as our coach. Our program is in good hands. Roy and his staff pay close attention to NCAA rules and he competes with the highest of integrity."
Statement from University of North Carolina Director of Athletics Dick Baddour: "No one is more committed to complying with NCAA rules than Roy Williams. He and his staff have the utmost respect for doing things the right way. I am confident he received approval from the compliance staff at Kansas. I have never worked with a coach who is more serious about adhering to the rules than Coach Williams. He has proven that for more than 25 years. That is one of the reasons he has been and will continue to be one of the most respected coaches in the country."
Statement from Bob Frederick, University of Kansas Director of Athletics, 1987-2001:
"Because the NCAA is in the process of investigating a men's basketball matter, I am not going to comment on the specifics. But I want to say one thing about Roy Williams.
In all my years of intercollegiate athletics, there has never been anyone I worked with who was more scrupulous about working within the rules, asking questions about the rules, and being committed to the rules than Coach Williams. He ran a model program at Kansas in every respect. If there was a mistake in this matter, it was a communications mistake, because Roy Williams would never knowingly violate a rule. And everyone who worked around him at that time knows that to be the case.
If this matter had been reported (to the NCAA) as a single issue, I am confident it would be dealt with as a secondary rules violation."

......I am so tired of all you ABC fans who are jealous of Roy and the Carolina program and are ready to believe all the fodder (YES, read my blog people, FODDER!) who said that Roy committed NCAA rules violations. Below is the shakeout from TarheelBlue.com and also
ESPN.com.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Roy Williams violated NCAA rules when he was the basketball coach at Kansas, approving payments to players who had used up their eligibility, the school said Friday.
After conducting an internal review, the school said Williams -- preparing for his third season at national champion North Carolina -- approved payments to graduating players and other Jayhawk players who had exhausted their eligibility.

The violations, which Kansas reported to the NCAA last month, were among several involving the men's and women's basketball programs, and the football program, ending in 2003.
Most of the violations involved arranging for test preparation and transportation for prospective athletes. The school began its investigation on the same day athletic director Lew Perkins arrived on the job in June 2003.

The university, which put its athletic department on probation for two years, said the violations wouldn't carry any television or postseason sanctions, but would result in a reduction of scholarships in the football and women's basketball programs.

In a letter dated July 1, the NCAA told the university its staff was reviewing the self-report and conducting follow-up interviews. NCAA vice president David Price told the school the investigation was expected to be completed by the fall.

The men's basketball violation will be addressed through extra education about the rules regarding gifts. No other sanctions against the program are planned. "Coach Williams and I discussed this matter some time the past and will talk again after both of us have had a chance to review the report," North Carolina AD Dick Baddour said in a statement Friday. "Coach Williams has a long and distinguished record of running a program with integrity and within NCAA rules. His record for more than 25 years as a college coach clearly demonstrates that to be the case."

Kansas officials said three representatives of the university's "athletics interests" -- Dana Anderson, Joan Edwards and Bernard Morgan -- gave cash and clothing to graduating student athletes and other players who had exhausted their eligibility.

......Friday Was SOOOOOOOOO Pretty!!!!!!!

BIG BATS BURY BOMBERS!!!!!!
Ian Browne is a reporter for MLB.com.

BOSTON -- Before the game started, the talk was about a suspension. Once the Red Sox and Yankees started playing baseball, there was no suspense. The man who was handed the six-game suspension just a few hours before the first pitch and immediately appealed it -- Sox left-hander David Wells -- was just one of a multitude of reasons this game was never close. The Red Sox rose quickly from the depths of Curt Schilling's rough debut as the closer Thursday night and flattened the Yankees by a score of 17-1.

Schilling could rest up on Friday night, knowing full well that his teammates had this one well in hand. "We'd take a win any way we can, but it was nice to be able to have some offensive success and also we got some guys out of there," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona, who rested Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon, Bill Mueller and Jason Varitek for the late innings.
The 16-run romp matched the most lopsided victory the Red Sox have ever had against their long-time rivals, matching the identical 17-1 walloping the Sox put on the Yankees in New York on May 28.

While Wells (seven innings, five hits, one run, five strikeouts) was clearly in top form, the Boston bats allowed him to put his left arm in cruise control. "You always go out there and take it as a 0-0 ballgame or a 1-0 ballgame and just pitch and try to hit your spots," said Wells. "You try to utilize every pitch that you have."

The Yankees wished they had anyone who could have done that very thing on Friday night, but it wasn't to be. A day after learning that solid right-hander Chien-Mieng Wang might be lost for the year, the Yankees sent an emergency starter (Tim Redding) to the mound -- and it showed.

The Red Sox ripped Redding (one inning plus three batters, four hits, six runs, four walks) and then mashed Darrell May (2 2/3 innings, six hits, six runs, three walks). Damon (3-for-3, two runs, two doubles, two RBIs and a walk in his first four plate appearances) had yet another big game from the leadoff spot, extending his hitting streak to 27 games, tying him with Dom DiMaggio for the fifth-longest streak in Red Sox history.

And Trot Nixon, who has come out blazing in the second half, belted a line-drive to medium depth center field in the second inning that wound up being an inside-the-park three-run homer. Yankees center fielder Melky Cabrera tried to make a lunging grab, but instead, the ball zipped right past him and all the way to the end of the warning track. Nixon never stopped sprinting and scored easily for his first career inside-the-parker and first by the Red Sox since Pokey Reese's memorable dash against the Royals on May 8, 2004.

"Against anybody, it's a feat for me," said Nixon. "I'm not really fleet of foot like Johnny. It may look ugly, but I'll take it." Francona looked at the fluky homer as a turning point in the game. "The ball Trot Nixon hit -- it's 5-0," said Francona. "That potentially is not even a sac fly because Cabrera's coming in and David [Ortiz] may not be able to tag. Trot leaves the batter's box like you're supposed to and we end up getting three."

Wells had an 8-0 lead when he took the mound for the third. In the sixth, Ortiz smashed a grand slam to right field of Buddy Groom, New York's fourth pitcher of the night. "I think David is very effective against everybody," said Nixon. "It's a pleasure to be able to play with him. He's a phenomenal hitter. To watch him grow as a hitter here in Fenway Park, this ballpark is made for him because he can drive the ball out to all parts of the field. "Yankees manager Joe Torre had a fairly helpless feeling from the visiting dugout.

"It's just an indication of what this club can do to you when you don't pitch," Torre said. "We just didn't have the answer tonight for their type of ballclub." Not with the effortless way Wells was working. Boomer knew what to do with the big lead. He pounded the strike zone, taking a two-hitter into the sixth.

"David Wells did a great job with the lead," said Francona. "He got some early outs, he's efficient."

As comfortable a victory as this was for the Sox, they know it doesn't amount to much when Matt Clement takes on Randy Johnson on Saturday afternoon.

"The most important thing is we got the win," Nixon said. "These guys are right on our heels in the division. It's always a big series when we play each other. It's just good to get the win."

From FOX News

CAIRO, Egypt — An Egyptian biochemist arrested in Cairo in connection with the London subway and bus bombings taught at a British university after taking graduate courses in North Carolina.

Magdy el-Nashar 33, has denied any role in the attacks during questioning by Egyptian authorities, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

A government official said el-Nashar was detained in Cairo between July 7, when the bombings occurred, and Wednesday.

U.S., British and Egyptian officials had been in contact concerning el-Nashar following the attacks, the official said.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was giving information not in the official ministry announcement.

The ministry said el-Nashar came to Egypt from London on vacation and intended to return to Britain to continue his studies.

"El-Nashar denied having any relation with the latest events in London. He pointed out (to questioners) that all his belongings remained in his apartment in Britain," the ministry statement said.

The head of the Cairo research center that sponsored el-Nashar's studies said he arrived in the Egyptian capital two weeks ago.

British and FBI officials were looking for el-Nashar, who recently had been teaching chemistry at Leeds University north of London. The Times of London said el-Nashar was believed to have rented one of the homes police searched in Leeds in a series of raids Tuesday.

The four other men also believed to have been involved in the bombings all had connections to the Leeds area.

Neighbors reported el-Nashar recently left Britain, saying he had a visa problem, the newspaper said.

Leeds University said el-Nashar arrived in October 2000 to do biochemical research, sponsored by the National Research Center in Cairo, Egypt. It said he earned a doctorate on May 6.

The head of the research center said el-Nashar returned to Egypt two weeks ago, turned in his Ph.D. thesis to the center's Chemistry Department and spent a week there with colleagues.

A week ago, el-Nashar told colleagues at the center he was going on vacation for 45 days, the center's president, Dr. Hany el-Nazer, told The Associated Press.

FBI agents in Raleigh, N.C., had joined the search for el-Nashar, a former graduate student at North Carolina State University.

University spokesman Keith Nichols said a person named el-Nashar studied at North Carolina State as a graduate student in chemical engineering for a semester beginning in January 2000. Nichols said the school has gathered records in anticipation of being contacted by the FBI.

"No woman no Cry?" Not for my nephew...(well, I call him my nephew but he's really mom's nephew, so we share:) June 18th Shelley Whitener and Bryan Trogdon were married in Jamaica (pre-Dennis, thank goodness) in front of their parents, brothers and sisters and yes, even Grandma Duke! Although it was hotter than a streetwalker in church, and the bugs were biting everywhere, the bride was lovely, and the couple was very much in love!

Leading up the the ceremony was a very festive rehearsal dinner, not to mention a rowdy day on the beach (complete with floating bar in the ocean, kayak trips, and, of course, what trip to Jamaica would be complete with out the obligatory sunburns?)

All in all, it was a memorable trip, followed up by a reception the following weekend with all the slack friends and family who wouldn't shell out the money to fly to the Caribbean to watch the nuptials (including me and mom! - we had to hold the fort down at home - and by the way, the NEXT time all of you go out of town, split up the trip so you are on different flights - we don't want to be orphaned if the plane goes down..ok?????)

..anyway, in the words of Bob Marley..his best love song...."Is this Love"
I wanna love you and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room,
Jah provide the bread
Is this love, is this love
Is this love, is this love that I'm feelin'?(Repeat)
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room, oh,
Jah provide the bread
Is this love, is this love,
Is this love, is this love that I'm feelin? (Repeat)
Oh, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now. (Repeat)
I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
See, I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat you right, love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room,
Jah provide the bread
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was reportedly "seething" after what the New York Post says was a "frosty" encounter yesterday with her conservative Senate colleague Rick Santorum.

Clinton paused during a Capitol Hill interview with Post reporter Ian Bishop "to let out a week's worth of pent-up frustration," the paper said, over Santorum's new book, "It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good."

Santorum penned his tome in response to Clinton's own best-selling tribute to socialism, "It Takes a Village." But up until now, the former first lady has held her fire. "It takes a village, Rick, don't forget that," Clinton called out as the two passed in a narrow hallway. "It takes a family," Santorum shot back through a veiled smile.

Not content to let the Pennsylvania Republican have the last word, Clinton responded, "Of course, a family is part of a village!"

The exchange may be the first of several debates between the two diamatrically opposed senators, if - as the Post posits - Santorum tosses his hat into the presidential ring in 2008 and challenges Mrs. Clinton.

The Associated Press reported this week that Santorum, a social conservative, authored "It Takes a Family," aimed at countering Hillary Clinton's message and asserting liberal politics have weakened the American family. The book was released last week. The 449-page book by Santorum tackles domestic issues ranging from home schooling to welfare reform, and promotes family over what he describes as the big government, or village, in Clinton's 1996 book. Santorum chairs the Senate Republican Conference and is sometimes hailed as a possible 2008 presidential candidate, even as he prepares for what is expected to be a tough 2006 re-election battle.

Clinton, who is also up for re-election next year, is considered the early leader among potential Democratic candidates for president in 2008.

Santorum's book questions Clinton's oft-cited desire to reduce the number of abortions, while at the same time defending abortion rights. He dismisses Clinton's talk of meaning and morality as "little more than feel-good rhetoric masking a radical left agenda." Pennsylvania Democrats are seeking to turn Santorum's book into a campaign issue against him. When the book was released, the head of state's Democrats, T.J. Rooney, said every woman in the state should be offended. Santorum wrote that respect for stay-at-home mothers "has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders' war on the traditional family and radical feminism's mysogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect."

He also argued that a college education to help low-skilled unmarried mothers move up the economic ladder "is just wrong."

"Success is where preparation and opportunity meet."
