The European Commission's Social Investment Package was launched in 2013 to encourage EU Member States to actively pursue social investment policies that modernise their welfare systems. The European Commission's Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC Seville) in collaboration with DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, is conducting a three-year research project to explore the nature and impact of ICT-Enabled Social Innovation (IESI) initiatives promoting the objectives of the SIP for growth and social cohesion.
Our Added Value
We have been working for the European Commission on project IESI since 2014, leading on the following contracts:
- IESI 1 – Research project analysing the impact of ICT-enabled social innovations for fulfilling the goals of the SIP (IESI Knowledge Map 2015)
- IESI 2 – Research project analysing IESIs led by social enterprises and their significance for achieving the SIP goals
- IESI 3 – Curation and network analysis of IESI database (2014-2015 data)
Across these projects, PlusValue delivered a broad range of services including:
- Overall project management of work packages, deliverables, and consortium partnership with the Centre for Social Innovation, the Young Foundation and IMT Lucca
- Research, mapping, and analysis of 200+ original IESI case studies with a geographical focus on EU Member States
- Interim and final reports for the European Commission
- Knowledge dissemination and communication activities, including policy briefings and conference presentations
- Curation and analysis of IESI database (2014-2015 data) using a network analysis approach, in partnership with IMT Institute for Advanced Studies
- Outcomes from our 2015 Mapping exercise are published in the JRC Technical Report (2015): 'Mapping and Analysis of ICT-enabled Social Innovation initiatives promoting social investment in integrated approaches to the provision of social services: IESI Knowledge Map 2015' and in the CeDEM Conference Proceedings. The main outcomes of the study are summarised in this presentation (as in the website Seville conference).
- Outcomes from the IESI 2 are summarised in the recently published JRC Insights – Social Policy Innovation Series – The role of the Social Economy in promoting Social Investment.
- Outcomes from IESI 3 are integrated in the JRC Technical Report (2017) "Mapping and Analysis of ICT-enabled Social Innovation initiatives promoting social investment across the EU: IESI Knowledge Map 2016".
PlusValue will continue to contribute to the IESI knowledge community through further research, analysis, publications, events, and future calls for proposals.

The last time we talked to Sixpence None the Richer in late 2008, they had just released a promising EP, My Dear Machine, and were gearing up for their first Christmas album, The Dawn of Grace. They—Leigh Nash and Matt Slocum—were making the most of their reunion after about four years apart, in which they both pursued solo projects and focused on family matters. But in late '08, they were very much excited about being Sixpence again, writing songs together again, and putting together a new album.
That conversation ended with Nash answering a question about the ETA on that new project. She replied, "I would say next summer at the earliest. We'll see."
Well, the summer of 2009 came and went—and no new Sixpence album. So did the fall, and the winter, and all of 2010, all of 2011, and more than half of 2012. But now, at last, after more glitches and holdups with a record label, the new Sixpence album, Lost in Transition, is finally available. And it's a dandy. (Lost in Transition.)
We caught up with Nash recently to talk about the holdups (and frustrations) as the project faced delay after delay, going indie, songwriting with Slocum and with her husband, and why she thinks this is the best Sixpence album ever.
It is good to hear a new Sixpence album. It's been too long!
I know, it really has been. It's ridiculous. But I'm excited.
In 2008, you and Matt did an EP and a Christmas record, and said that your new album was coming out in 2009. What happened to cause more than a 3-year delay?
It was really the same old story that we've unfortunately talked about so many times before. We got ourselves into a record label situation that was one thing when it started and then turned into something else by the time we got the ...1

Financing Soil Remediation: Exploring the use of financing instruments to blend public and private capital
This report examines innovative approaches to financing the cleanup and regeneration of contaminated soil.
As public budgets tighten, governments around the world are looking at opportunities to attract private capital participation in both land remediation and its productive use and redevelopment thereafter. The business case is intrinsically the value capture in the increase in retail price of land and related business opportunities once the remediation is complete. However, where land value capture is lower and related revenue streams remain uncertain, the case for private capital participation is much less compelling. Governments, in this case, have to fund the remediation through public budgets and thereafter seek opportunities to partner with private counterparties to use the land as "fit for purpose."
The current report presents 17 case studies on a variety of financing instruments that blend public and private capital. Each case study includes a short discussion on the extent to which each instrument could be used to finance the remediation of contaminated soil.
This report is a part of a series of outputs of a four-year project, Financing Models for Soil Remediation. The overall objective of the project is to harness the full range of green finance approaches and vehicles to manage the associated risk and fund the remediation of contaminated soils.

This discussion is irrelevant. I do not treat MS, I treat ccsvi and its symptomsSqueakycat wrote:The naysayers in this case are the neurologists working with the Alberta Health Services, making this part of an official government statement on CCSVI.
This official government document makes it clear that neurologists are the experts with knowledge of blood-brain issues and if they don't think there is any merit to CCSVI, neither should you.
like fatigue.....any neurologists know what causes it? or how to treat it?
it is one of the consistent improvements that patients describe.

So I just got me some brand spankin' new Chrome Kursk kicks!
I recently discovered Chrome and all their cool stuff they make right here in the Yay Area and am duly impressed by both their quality and their culture. They seem like the kind of people you'd want to hang out with.
Anyway, the review:
I got them about two weeks ago now (I know… I'm a procrastinator) and I've worn them just about every day since they arrived. They are pretty stinking comfortable just off the bat. I have wide feet so that was kind of an issue with them… and most shoes in general. I found that they were quite narrow but they were remarkably comfortable nonetheless. They have great support and I found that they have a very sturdy sole. Even when pedaling super hard, I could hardly tell that I was standing on the pointy thing on my pedals. The grommets on the front work well and look tight to boot and the padded tongue? Wow! Not to mention these shoes come with a reflective strip on the heel to further aid rider safety.
All in all, I would rate these an 8 out of 10. They have some great features and are comfortable, but for my wide feet they didn't work out so hot.
New Reviews! That's right, it's shoes this time…
So I just got me some brand spankin' new Chrome Kursk kicks!

Apologies to those of you who have been watching for posts. I keep talking about the adventure ahead, but really… the adventure began when I made the decision to go mobile in an RV and went into contract on my house almost simultaneously. That sent me into 6 week long frenzy of selling almost everything I own, sorting through the rest… what goes with me, what goes to storage. Fitting a life in 4300 sq. ft. into a 35′ Winnebago is not an easy thing to do, and much of what I thought might go with me is now going into storage or being donated. I've been wanting to simplify my life for so long though, and I can't think of a more drastic way to do so. I was trying to describe to friend the other day… the overwhelming feeling of what I am going through, and the thought that came to mind is a "rebirthing" of sorts. Thing is I am both the mother and the unborn child fighting my way through a long hard labor. Thankfully I can visualize the amazing journey ahead, and that gives me the energy to keep at this until I'm ready to go. There's so much more to think about too… full time mobile internet access, mail, banking, oh… and did I mention that I'm pulling everything off of 5 PCs and going cold-turkey to Mac!
OK, so as I was saying… apologies to those who are watching for the journey to begin. It's only a matter of days I assure you. In the mean time I'll try to share some of what I should have been posting… and would have been if I'd had the time. The blog will take on a new look too, once I get going and have time to customize it to fit my needs.
Thank you all for watching. I can't wait to share my adventures with you!

Explorer finds Drake's sunken fleet - MiamiHerald.com: "He lists Sir Francis Drake, who died of disease while anchored in Portobelo Bay, as "his favorite pirate of all time." Drake was buried at sea, supposedly inside a lead coffin, to keep the Spaniards who hated him from finding the body. Drake's two ships, the "Elizabeth" (named after the queen who knighted Drake) and the "Delight" then were scuttled by their crews in Portobelo Bay. Drake harassed Spanish shipping for decades and was the first English sailor to circumnavigate the globe. Burnt ships' timbers, believed to be from the Drake ships, were discovered earlier this month in Panama." . . .

Talk:Animal Yokocho
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
this article seems to be not more (or less) than a one by one copy of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Yokocho what is the policy here? link or legal? somewolf 20:12, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- The relevant poicly is WikiFur:What WikiFur is not#WikiFur is not a copy of Wikipedia, either. Unless there is relevant furry-specific content added (and even then, perhaps that should be added to the main copy) I intend to delete this article and redirect links to the Wikipedia article . . . or that's what I'd do if there were any links.
- Ultimately, there seems no reason to have a copy here - it's not a core topic, it's not something that's likely to be expanded much either. If it really should be here as a topic, than a short summary with a prominent link to the Wikipedia article would be far more appropriate, as a copy here it is just likely to stagnate. --GreenReaper(talk) 01:41, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

National Osteoporosis Awareness Campaign
About the Campaign
Page Content
In order to keep osteoporosis away from you, it is crucially important to maintain healthy food habits and lifestyles. Many people hold the wrong supposition that osteoporosis occurs owing to the low intake of calcium only. In fact, many nutrients, like vitamins (D, C, E, K, etc.), minerals (magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, etc.) and proteins, aside from some other factors, like sport and exposure to the sunlight, are necessary for the prevention of osteoporosis.
The incidence of osteoporosis has been increasing in the West, insomuch as one of every three over-fifty women suffers from the disease. In the United States, more than 30% of the women over 65 suffer from at least one spinal fracture, and more than 250.000 persons have pelvic fracture every year, out of which 20% die out of the complications.
And those who survive death, still, will be inflicted with disability, and need intensive health care for a long time. Aside from death and disability, osteoporosis overburdens the country with massive costs, to afford the medical and economic care for patients.
So far, the magnitude of osteoporosis in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not identified. Many physicians and specialists, however, are of the viewpoint that osteoporosis patients among Saudis are on the increase, due to the alteration of Saudi's lifestyle and food habits. This increase, they expect, will continue unless effective steps towards the prevention of the disease are taken soon.
A study conducted at King Khaled University Hospital has shown that 58% of Saudi pre-menopausal women suffer from osteoporosis.

For once, the Arizona Cardinals didn't come away with a victory in an overtime thriller.
It's kind of been expected for the Cardinals to win these types of games, but the Buffalo Bills were the ones to hit the overtime field goal yesterday in Glendale, beating the Cardinals 19-16.

-Arizona Cardinals Cream the Philadelphia Eagles; Kevin Kolb's Still Righteous
Quarterback Kevin Kolb was injured after getting tackled on what appeared to be a broken play in the fourth quarter of the game, reportedly hurting his ribs.
The Cardinals were down by three points entering the fourth quarter, and their drives weren't going much of anywhere until late.
The Bills ran a wildcat-formation play with Brad Smith -- a wide receiver/former quarterback -- taking the direct snap with a little more than three minutes left on the clock. The ball had a tremendous arc on it, and Patrick Peterson intercepted it in the endzone, and ran it back for 15 yards.
That set up the Cardinals pretty well, as Kolb hit Larry Fitzgerald for 14 yards on the very first play of the drive. After a holding call, Kolb scrambled on the first-and-20 for 22 yards, setting up a first down at their own 41 yard-line.
On the next play, Kolb took the snap and looked to his running back, who was not looking at him. Kolb ran the ball on the apparently broken play, and was tackled before the line of scrimmage by two hefty Bills defenders. He didn't get up for several minutes, and was taken to the locker room with his injury.
John Skelton came in at quarterback for the Cards, immediately throwing two incomplete passes. He did connect to Fitzgerald for a 17-yard gain, but threw another three passes incomplete, setting up Jay Feely for a 61-yard field goal.
Although Feely's never kicked a 61-yarder before, he did this time, and nailed it with room to spare.
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, a Gilbert native, was sacked on the first play of the Bills' ensuing drive. After that, the Bills ran the ball twice before punting away to the Cardinals. A short punt gave the Cardinals a pretty sure shot at winning the game -- the ball was three yards short of midfield, with 50 seconds left on the clock.
A five-yard penalty moved the Cardinals even closer, and Skelton nailed Fitzgerald to get the ball to the 20 yard-line. Skelton clocked the ball with a few seconds left, and Feely was sent out to win the game on a 38-yard field goal.
Just a few minutes after hitting a 61-yarder, Feely hit the left upright, and although the ball carried back across the field goal posts, the ball landed in the endzone -- never carrying over the crossbar.
The Bills received the ball in overtime, and stalled at just the perfect point for the Cardinals, as the Bills punted away from the Cardinals' 40 yard-line.
On third down -- after a rush for no gain and an incomplete pass -- Skelton went deep over the middle to tight end Rob Housler. The coverage was there, though, and the Bills picked off the pass, returning it to the Cardinals' six yard-line.
After Fitzpatrick used one play to move the ball to the right side of the hash-marks, Bills kicker Rian Lindell booted home the easy 25-yard field goal to win the game.
Although Kolb was injured, and Skelton completed just two of 10 passes as his replacement, there were a couple good points for the Cardinals throughout the game.
Rushing the football was not just for wasting plays -- the Cardinals actually moved the football on the ground for once. Kolb produced several big runs, totaling 66 yards, and William Powell -- the starting running back now that Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams are toast -- rushed 13 times for 70 yards.

That's a 5.4 yards-per-carry average for Powell, something that's been unheard-of for Cardinals football. If he can keep that up, the Cardinals have a respectable rushing game for sure.
On the other hand, Kolb still got sacked. The Bills sacked Kolb five times, keeping Kolb as the most-sacked quarterback in the NFL.
After six games, the Cardinals are now 4-2, tied with San Francisco and Seattle for the division lead.

I have had a few requests both here and at Facebook to know how I put a stamp frame around my pictures. I told the Facebook people that I would do a tutorial on that today. Since my wise old grandmother taught me to keep my word, well, here it is!
I have asked Zoey the Cool Cat to help us, and while she wasn't enthusiastic, she agreed. She prefers to be out looking for Easter eggs, or at least the birds that laid them. I keep telling her they are rabbit eggs, but she's not buying it; she's smarter than that.
First, most photo editing programs have a stamp frame as part of their offerings. I haven't liked any of them because they are too perfect, and stamps are anything but perfect. Following are two stamp frames, the perfect one and my imperfect one, so you can see the difference.
Notice that the imperfect one has ragged, torn, frayed edges where it appears to have been separated from other stamps.
First we need to find a stamp shape that you like. For this tutorial, let's use an oversized stamp size, like Scott #2542, a U.S. postage stamp released on August 31, 1991. I get my stamp pictures from Arago (http://arago.si.edu/) but you can download it from my blog here by right-clicking on the image and saving it to your computer.
The method I'm going to teach you here works for any shape, so pay attention! There will be a test on Monday, and I want everyone to get a perfect score!
I will be using Photoshop CC, but this method probably also works in Elements and any other program that works with layers and masks, such as Paintshop Pro, Gimp, etc.
Once you've downloaded and saved your stamp, open it in Photoshop. We want to delete the stamp picture while keeping the stamp frame. To do that, click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool.
Now simply draw a rectangle around the picture. You don't have to be exact but make sure you get all of the picture within the box. When you let go of your mouse button, the box will turn into a moving dashed box, what we call "marching ants."
Hit the Delete key and a Fill window should pop up:
If you haven't used the Fill window recently, the default in the Use dropdown box will probably be Content-Aware. We want to change that to White.
Click on OK and your picture should magically disappear, being filled with white.
Now we're ready to insert our picture. Open your picture in Photoshop; it will show up in a new tab. Zoey the Cool Cat graciously has given me permission to use a picture of her.
Copy the picture you want to insert into the stamp frame. There are many ways to do that, but first you have to tell Photoshop what you want to copy. It doesn't know that you want to copy the whole image unless you tell it. Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool again, simply draw a box around the whole picture. You don't have to be exact at all as long as you are outside the picture on all four sides because Photoshop will snap the marquee to the picture borders.
Now tell Photoshop to copy everything within the marching ants border, either Edit ►Copy or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C.
Switch to the tab that has our stamp frame so we can insert our picture into it. Make sure you still have the marching ants border from when we deleted the eagle picture from the stamp. If you don't, no problem. Simply use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to draw another box where you want your picture to be.
Now paste your picture into the marquee box. To do that:
Edit ► Paste Special ► Paste Into.
The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + Alt + V:
That should give you something that might look a little weird, depending on the size of the picture you are inserting. If your picture is bigger than the box you're inserting it into, you'll see just a portion of the picture and a bounding box showing you how big the picture is. If you don't see all of your picture but you don't see a bounding box either, simply click on the Move Tool (red arrow below) and then click on Show Transform Controls (yellow arrow).
Now you should see that stamp frame, a portion of your picture, and the boundary box telling you how big your picture is:
If your picture is too big, the part that is not in the frame will be at the right and bottom. If you want to maintain the ratio of the height to the width (the aspect ratio), hold the Shift key down and click and hold that bottom right little square. Now move that square up to the bottom right corner of your picture border within the stamp frame. If your picture doesn't have the same aspect ratio as the stamp, simply reposition the picture until you're happy. Let go of the mouse and reposition the picture simply by clicking on it and moving it around.
If your pictures always have the same aspect ratio, you can create a stamp frame that will always be correct so that you won't have to do any fine-tuning position adjustments. If that's the case, as it is with all the pictures from my Canon 550D camera, you can also create an Action that does everything automatically, which is what I did. My Action means that it takes about two seconds to put a stamp frame around any picture.
Remember earlier when I said that this method works for any shape? That's how I created my Zoey the Cool Cat soccer ball:
If you find a nicely framed picture on the Internet, you can delete the picture and use just the frame by following this tutorial.
Let me know in a comment if you have any problems while following this tutorial and I'll help you.

Founded in 1985, we have gained worldwide experience in all types of offshore and subsea construction projects. Our approach is to support clients already in the conceptual design stage, and offer services for project management, engineering and procurement up to and including installation and commissioning. We do not restrict ourselves to available technology; we develop new techniques and applications wherever necessary.
No technology can replace human judgment. Our people make a multitude of decisions in all disciplines every day, worldwide.

It challenges the ability to imagine the impossible; not asking "why?", but rather "why not?". It requires people with imagination and a can-do attitude, who believe that "if you can dream it, you can do it". We want people who share and believe in our vision of "no guts, no glory".
We acknowledge that reputation, responsibility and integrity form the cornerstone of our existence, realising that our future is shaped by our performance and behaviour of today. This will determine our reputation for a long time to come. Therefore, we value long-term relationships with clients, employees and suppliers.

I think, we've all generally agreed that magic is either non-existant or not available to the average person. Shall we get more specific? Is *anyone* interested in a high-magic world?

I'm leaning towards no magic, myself.
Although I remember a discussion we had about maybe having it unclear whether magic actually worked or not. Like, many people might believe in it and some might practice it, but it doesn't have any flashy visual effects — no lightning bolts, weird eldritch glows, etc. — and the results are always something that could conceivably be explained as coincidence.
I think that could be fun.
Leaving it undecided but, for all practical purposes, absent sounds good to me. I think 'high' magic is just too much of a temptation to refrain from — it's so easy using it for filling plot holes or explaining improbabilities….
I like the idea of people believing that there is such a thing as magic. Maybe even people performing magic. Maybe even people seing some effects, like healing or so. But we all agreeing that it's not true, that our characters are just imagining it, they are just seing it because the 'want' to see it etc.
I'd even say we don't even have to all agree that it's not true. As long as we all agreed that there couldn't be any definitive proof that magic existed, then one person might write as though the stuff did work and someone else could write as if it didn't. The disparity between those two author's approaches would keep magic mysterious and uncertain — which is, in my opinion, the way it should be.
Now that sounds intriguing. Your proposal has my vote.
Ron's method is more or less how I typically operate in a scenario like this. Personally, I'm down with a no-magic setting. But the inhabitants don't necessarily know there's no such thing as magic, and practice what they believe to be such anyway.
I also think we should decide in advance whether the magic actually exists or not. Leaving it ambiguous even to us seems like it could be inviting trouble.
I personally say no magic, but lots of superstition to be exploited. This leans on religion, as well.
What about science as "magic"? People interpret strange phenomena as magic. What about inventions? And, of course people should still *believe* in magic…
Again, I think this discussion has become fairly moot and should be left up to the individual creators to decide *how* much their character believes in magic. I could be misinterpreting the posts, but I think the consensus was/is 'no real magic'. Yes, someone might be an herbalist, or invent a zippo…but that's not *real* magic.
Can we agree on that?

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo recently signed legislation called "The Upstate New York Gaming Economic Development Act of 2013" that will allow four Las Vegas-style casinos to be built in the Empire State. The plan will go to vote in November.
"For too many years, gaming revenue has left New York for our neighboring states," Cuomo said, according to media outlets. "Today, we are putting New York in a position to have those dollars spent here in our communities, which will benefit our local economies and tourism industries, as well as support education and property tax relief."
The state currently has about 10 tribal casinos operating independently and some casinos attached to race-tracks, but full-scale Las Vegas-style casinos would be much different than these.
For years, the biggest casino developers have wanted to gain access into New York City due to the potential for huge profits and these same developers are against the plan of opening up casinos in Upstate New York arguing that a a casino in New York City would be better for creating economic activity and more jobs.
The three regions of New York where casinos could be built are the Hudson Valley/Catskill area, the Capital District/Saratoga area and the Central-Southern Tier. The decision on locations will come from state gaming regulators, who will also be in charge of overseeing the industry once it's underway and bringing in taxes for the state.
Some of New York's neighbouring states are already reaping the rewards from offering gambling and expanding. New Jersey and Massachusetts are in the process of greatly expanding their respective gambling industries with Internet gambling and land-based venues. Delaware is also about to venture into the real-money online gambling and New Hampshire is also working on a land-based casino plan. Pennsylvania has become the second busiest casino state in the US.
For Canadians from Ontario and Quebec mostly who drive down to Atlantic City to play in American style casinos and benefit from comp programs this could be a much closer proposition depending on the casino offering.

Just wonderful because on alot of commercials here in Australia it shows about 90% of white guys from America and Europe travel to Asian countries looking for wives. Whats wrong with the girls in their own countries?
I honestly thought all women were about the same, until I took an overseas job and I lived in Russia for 3 years. No, all women are not the same, I was shocked at Russian women, not only were they very beautiful, but they are also very traditional. Russian women take great pride in their looks, you will never see a Russian woman out in public wearing sweat paints, hair up, with no make up, as so many American women do. As I just wrote, they are very traditional, a Russian woman is considered a successful women when she is a housewife to a good man. I have been happily married to a wonderful Russian lady for the past 11yrs, she has always been a housewife and I could honestly write pages on all she does, she takes great care of our home, great care of our children, and great care of me. I may provide for my family, but my wife is truly the backbone of our family.
Sadly, most American woman are the opposite, most American woman have became too independent, too rebellious, have lost traditional values, unfaithful, fat, and will divorce their husbands over any stupid little thing.

If you've ever had a newborn baby, you know that there is no other sleep exhaustion quite like that of the first newborn days, weeks and months (sometimes years!) of your baby's life. Add in two more newborn babies, and life gets CRAZY. Like many moms, mine planned to stay with us when we brought the babies home from the hospital…little did we realize that it would take her, me and David to just care for the babies! Clean the house? Nope. Fix meals? Nope. Nap? Ha!
Night-time feedings were especially chaotic! The babies came home eating every three hours or so. Can you imagine what it is like to have one waken early? And then the challenge to get three settled back down so you can then go pump? Much about that time is just a hazy fog, but I do remember my heart sinking when one baby would wake before my alarm was set to go off at 1a and the challenge of trying to get the last of the three back down at 2 or 2:30a so I could pump and sleep before the 4a feeding. We racked up about 4 hours of sleep (each!) during those first couple of months…on a good night. This makes for a few very, very tired individuals. (You can read more about how we survived those months here.) And being super sleep-deprived makes for some very funny moments – some that were really big mistakes at the time (thanks to my triplet-mommy friends for their help in compiling this list!). Moments like:
- Forgot to put a diaper on one of the girls – just buttoned her onesie and went on about things.
- My husband would put the boys in the wrong bed at times which really confused me in the mornings.
- I once added formula to my morning coffee.
- Accidentally tried to give them leftover sweetened condensed milk instead of formula (from the can).
- Washed the portable phone in the dishwasher…twice!
- Almost brushed their teeth with diaper ointment.
- Forgot to hook bottles up to the breast pump and pumped about 20 oz all over my lap before I realized why I was soaking wet.
- My daughter made a bottle with French vanilla creamer instead of formula….on accident!
- Forgot to refill the litter box with litter…poor cat pooped on the bathroom rug!
- First time I went to the grocery store, I drove all the way home with the cart of groceries still sitting on the sidewalk.
- So used to shushing a baby that I shushed a spoonful of my soup instead of blowing on it. (mine!)
- Put my two year old's size 4 diaper on my 9 pound baby and didn't notice till the next time she was changed…oops!
- Loading up 5 kids in the minivan and driving home, leaving the Runabout (a very large and expensive stroller) sitting right next to the parking lot after daycare.
- The first time I took all three back to the doctor, I forgot to take a diaper bag. Didn't realize it until after we took their diapers off and didn't have any to put back on. We were out all day seeing specialists, so good thing Babies R Us was close by! Good news? I did bring a cooler with breast milk!
- Changed a baby and forgot to put a diaper back on! Walked away and came back 10 minutes later…oops!
- Husband and I were taking turns feeding in the middle of the night – he had the last shift and I went to get the babies up. I saw he put my daughter's sleeper on my son. I was so exhausted that I couldn't figure out if he had the wrong baby in the wrong crib or just dressed wrong. He also wore two different shoes for an appointment that same week!
- I hung up the phone in the microwave and nearly turned the microwave on.
- I had a bad habit of trying to double-diaper…kept forgetting the very important step of removing the dirty/wet diaper!
- Found the keys in the fridge, cell phone in the diaper stacker…
- Forgot I was sanitizing bottle nipples on the stove…$40 worth, melted! TWICE!
- Wore two different colored shoes to work one day and I had a big meeting!
- I melted a breast pump.
- In the middle of the night I grabbed a teddy bear off the couch and took him to have his diaper changed. Didn't realize until I got all the way downstairs and our night nanny asked what I was doing.
- Forgot to put a diaper on my son…of course he peed everywhere.
- Came home from a grocery shopping trip. Parked the van in my driveway and walked in the house with the babies, leaving all the groceries in the car. Didn't realize until about 5 hours later when I went to make dinner…
- Put coffee in a bottle…but never ended up giving it to the babies, thank goodness!!!
- We use the "ssshhhh" technique to soothe them and one night I woke up "ssshhhing" and patting the
dog's back thinking I was calming a baby. The dog seemed quite happy with my mistake.
- When I was still pumping and getting only about 1.5 hours of sleep at a time, my alarm went off for the 3am feeding. I was frantically pushing buttons to make it stop, to no avail. It took me a good minute to realize the buttons I was pushing belonged to the bedside breast pump.
- Walked into a sliding glass door. And put the phone in the fridge and when it rang, I went to the fridge and answered it, like that was just a normal activity.
Happy Friday! And hug your multiple-mommy-with-newborns friends – remind them they're doing a great job! =) The end.

Donald and Melania Trump used to be fixtures on the Met Gala red carpet — but times have changed.
The president is no longer welcome, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the mastermind behind fashion's biggest event, told James Corden on "The Late Late Show" last October.
Trump and his third wife attended the star-studded Met Gala every year from 2003 through 2012.
The 2004 event was especially memorable because it was the night Trump proposed. Melania was rocking her giant 15-carat engagement ring on the red carpet. Unusually coy, Trump didn't say a word about it.
They kept the engagement secret all night but later quietly celebrated with his daughter, Ivanka.
Two years later, Melania showed up in a strapless white dress just six weeks after giving birth to their son, Barron.
At the time, she said that her husband was not changing diapers but she was.
The 2018 edition of the gala occurred Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The who's who of A-listers included Rihanna, Madonna, Janelle Monae, Donatella Versace, Trevor Noah, Chadwick Boseman, SZA, Cardi B. and Stephen Colbert.
The event is the hottest and most exclusive ticket in New York City. Each year, Wintour picks a new theme for her guests to try and dress up for, Monday night's motif was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."
A seat at the gala costs nearly $40,000 and a table will set you back more than $275,000. All of the proceeds go to the Met Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Last year's event raised over $12 million.

Hear from our members across the state
Welcome to Walmart
By Emmanuel G.
After two students completed the first session of the Job Readiness Class at Catholic Charities, we tried to find them jobs and suggested they apply at Walmart. One of our team members helped them with their job applications. After being accepted for the job, I went to help them with orientation by interpreting in their language and showing them how to do the task their jobs required. After a few weeks, I talked to the managers to ask how they were doing. The managers said that they were doing very well. Our students fit in well at Walmart and they like to work there.

Pike River mine workers to be made redundant
Receivers of New Zealand's Pike River Coal mine have confirmed 114 workers will be made redundant.
Pike River Coal, which went into receivership yesterday, discussed the future of the company and its workers at a meeting with receivers in Greymouth, on the west coast of the South Island.
One of the PricewaterhouseCoopers receivers, John Fisk, said they were negotiating with all of Pike River's management team and no job was safe, including that of CEO Peter Whittall.
Mr Whittall became the public face of the recent disaster at Pike River's underground coal mine near Greymouth, in which 29 miners died after an explosion trapped them in the mine last month.
The total number of staff employed by Pike River is about 157, excluding the 29 men who died in the mine, 13 of whom were contractors.
This morning, the workers were told that 114 employees would be made redundant, and they would be notified by mail.
Mr Fisk said there was about $NZ9 million ($A6.84 million) left in the company and that would be used to pay out workers and contractors.
Each employee would get what they were entitled to under employment law, to the maximum of $NZ18,700 ($A14,200).
There could be $NZ100 million ($A76.01 million) in insurance available but that had yet to be confirmed, Mr Fisk said.
"One thing we need to do is to understand what the full extent of all the entitlements are," he told reporters at a press conference in Greymouth this afternoon.
"We can have a talk with secured creditors (Bank of New Zealand and New Zealand Oil & Gas) to see whether anything more than the preferential entitlements can be paid. It could be possible to pay more."
The union representing NZ's mining sector - the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union - told AAP it would hold a meeting this afternoon to discuss the redundancies.
Meanwhile, the NZ government said it would consider funding rescue operations still underway to recover the bodies of the 29 men who died in the mine disaster.
But Energy Minister Gerry Brownlee said more details were needed before the government would commit to the project.
"At the moment, we wouldn't know what we were funding," Mr Brownlee said.
"One of the things that we've got to be very clear about is that there is still a fire raging in that mine, and there is no prospect at the moment of anybody entering that mine."
Tony Kokshoorn, the mayor of Grey District, where the mine is located, will fly to Wellington to meet with the government tomorrow.

Tempo's smart calendar just got smarter with natural language input and traffic delay warnings from Waze
More than a year after Tempo AI launched its smart calendar, the iPhone app is today receiving a handful of interesting updates.
Tempo started life at SRI International, the independent non-profit research institute that gave rise to Siri and its travel-related sibling Desti. Tempo understands the context surrounding your event and pulls in not only addresses and directions, but contact information for people you're meeting, related documents and more.
With the latest release, Tempo is getting natural-language input, which basically means you can now add a new calendar event just by describing it in plain English, for example: "Playing tennis with George next Friday from 2pm". This is similar to Readdle's Calendars 5, which introduced natural-language input last year.
Other features designed to save you time include integration with iOS Reminders, meaning you can add, view and complete tasks with due dates directly from the calendar. And it now also ties in with Waze, the service acquired by Google last year, bringing crowdsourced directions to your planned meetings to help circumvent accidents or roadworks.
In addition to a new design which introduces fresh contextual icons and one-tap actions, Tempo will also now send personalized emails that suggest follow-ups with people, as well as news relating to individuals and companies that may be relevant to what you have coming up in the week ahead.
You can grab the updated Tempo iPhone app now.

in reply to Re^2: HTML::Template, pseudo trees and indention.
in thread HTML::Template, pseudo trees and indention.
*claps sardonically* I was waiting for that response. You did it with H::T, not within H::T. Your node is an excellent example of twisting the problem to suit the answer. Not only is your template nearly unreadable the first 3 times one reads it, but your code is nearly impossible to follow as well. The point wasn't to see if you could code a solution that involves H::T. The point was to see if H::T could provide a solution.
My criteria for good software:
And, yes, any recursive solution can be written iteratively. That doesn't mean that H::T can handle it any better.
My criteria for good software:
- Does it work?
- Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

Dark Follower is a character who can be found exclusively as a boss in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
A Dark Follower is a massive, muscular, humanoid Heartless with dark purple skin. Its legs are rather short and its feet are very thin and curl upward. Its arms are rather long, and is has two relatively small, twisted wings on its back. There is a large, heart-shaped hole in the Heartless's chest. Its head is covered in dozens of twisted, dark purple tentacles. Only its small, glowing yellow eyes are visible.
The Dark Follower's name is a clear reference to its dark color and its ability to attack using darkness. The latter part of its name could be a reference to the fact that it appears after a battle with other Heartless. "Follower" could also be a reference to the purple Shadow "followers" the Heartless summons.

Chris Rock will host the MTV Video Music Awards
Chris Rock will host the MTV Video Music Awards. To rehearse for his third turn at the podium, he'll do a cross-country stand-up tour
Don't tell J. Lo. Chris Rock, the Billy Crystal of the MTV Video Music Awards, will host the channel's annual blowout for the third time when the show celebrates its 20th year in August. "Can't wait to do it," Rock said in a terse statement. The Aug. 28 show will again take place at New York's Radio City Music Hall, where a bridal-gowned Madonna writhed onstage at the first VMA show in 1984, and where Guns N' Roses made a stunning surprise appearance last year. It's "where we've thrown some of our biggest, stupidest, and most twisted parties to date," said MTV president Van Toffler in a statement.
The upcoming gala will mark Rock's first time at the podium in four years; he previously hosted in 1997 and 1999, when he reportedly angered Jennifer Lopez because he couldn't stop making jokes about her posterior. Since then, while his movie career has blossomed, his stand-up comedy skills have rusted, he told the Associated Press on Wednesday. "I haven't performed in a lo-o-o-o-o-ng time," he said. So he plans to rehearse with an impromptu cross-country tour of comedy clubs. He wouldn't say where the tour, which begins next week, will take him; venues and ticket sales will be announced only 24 hours before each date.

Hello Everyone! I'm Whit and on this blog I'll be talking about my pen and paper and tabletop gaming experiences.
For the uninitiated these are the pretend games of our childhood, grown up for adults. It's also known as role-playing, collective storytelling, more often by the names of the products. Vampire, Shadowrun, or the ubiquitous Dungeons and Dragons; there are a lot of descriptions for it, but we're talking about the same thing: a fun game which you play with friends rather than against them.
I'm going to tell you about the games that I GM and play in myself, discussion of issues in gaming, and reviews of products I've played and read. I hope that you enjoy reading about my gaming perspectives and stories.

It's That Time Of Year Again..Let The Gardening Begin
Gardening has been one of my hobbies ever since I was a little girl. My Mother raised roses and my Dad a vegetable garden so the need to have my hands in soil goes way back. It is also one of my stress reducers. Many a time I have pulled a weed, planted a flower, freshened up a flower bed and the solution to a problem comes to mind. I also remember this one time I had a client who, no matter what I did, was never pleased or happy... I had the best looking flower beds ever that year as I yanked every weed out I could see.
Yep.... it was a great stress reducer
I am not able to garden quite as much as I once did due to that old friend Arthur. I do get out and 'play' now and again as it always feels good to get my hands dirty in the cold, rich soil. And I love pushing the wheel barrel around and tidying up as I go. This year will be mostly maintenance work on the rose garden and Iris garden. many plants are now grown in pots to sit around the deck and make it easier on me.
I do not think the gardening girl will ever totally go away no matter how obnoxious ol' Arthur becomes.

Rich, buttery avocado and sweet roasted red bell pepper balance the spiciness from the chipotles in this flavorful sandwich.
How to Make It
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in chicken, pepper, and avocado. Divide chicken mixture evenly among 4 bread slices; top each with 2 tomato slices and 1 lettuce leaf. Cover with remaining 4 bread slices.
