But I have a few newbie mommy friends who struggle with how their marriage has changed since having their first child.
Just thought it might be interesting to read others' posts about how their marriage/relationship with SO has changed since children.
So, please respond as honestly as you can. I will, too.
Secondly, I'll answer my own "How Has Your Marriage Changed" question....and honestly.
First child came along after just 1-1/2 years of marriage to DH. And DH and I had only dated for less than 6 months before we were married. So we had a lot of hurdles to jump when first LO arrived because we were still in the honeymoon phase.
I think I appreciated the change that LO brought into my life more than DH. DH is a needy kind of guy...well, he WAS a needy kind of guy back then. He wanted a home-cooked meal, a clean home, and a wife dressed up prettily when he came home from work.
I was happy to comply...for a time. And then, I realized that I couldn't be EVERYTHING that I had been to DH and be a new mommy. So I started to let things slide, mainly how clean I kept the house.
I was exhausted. DH didn't understand why I didn't want to have sex at 11 p.m. or midnight anymore. And when we did have sex, DH didn't understand why my BFing boobies were off limits.
So not only did the way we interact on a day-to-day basis change, but our method of sex changed, as well.
We no longer had as much time to devote to the marriage that we had previously. I couldn't just pick up and head off for the hills like before. Now I was packing around a colicky infant and all the necessary items that belong to an infant on the road: diaper bag full of wipes, diapers, change of clothes, burp rags, etc...so we traveled not-so-lightly anymore.
But more than that, I was too tired to WANT to head off to the hills with DH for a fun-filled day. My day revolved around LO and her naps and MY naps, too, LOL.
So yes, in the beginning, it was a REAL adjustment.
By the time No. 2 dd came around, DH and I were more like best friends with occasional moments of romance. And even the romance wasn't spontaneous but planned out ahead of time and pencilled into our daytimers, LOL.
Still, our sex was never the same as before children. A bit more relaxed and not so fiery...although at times it could be.
And then No. 3 came along, and we're still chugging along like best friends with moments of pencilled-in romance. Although DH is more settled in his role as father now and "provider" for his growing family, we still enjoy our excursions to the hills (or the rivers), and we can't possibly pack lightly but now pack for 3 children's needs throughout the day. Which is fine.
So...how has your marriage morphed since having your LOs?
I worked in public accounting prior to having DS. My hours were ridiculous and the stress was insane. For years we had already had to practice finding time for one another. The stress of having a child was so much less than what we dealt with when I was in public. Well maybe not less stress but it was a different kind of stress. And a welcomed stress!
I think our marriage has improved since having both kids. I've found a new respect for DH especially since DD's seizures. We communicate so much more efficiently now. We don't sweat the small stuff like we did early on into our relationship. I seem to fall more in love with DH every single day as I watch him care for our children.
Don't get me wrong --- it's not always candy and roses. We have our moments. But we know that is just what they are: moments.
After our first was born, it was a serious struggle. He had two hospital stays. The first was for elevated bilirubin, so he had to spend 24 hours under the bili light in the NICU. The second, he had pnemonia and spent a week in the PICU. Our biggest problem was that DH took our son outside without a coat, or hat or anything in 50 degree weather when he was less than a month old. I blamed him for our son getting pnemonia. I was so mad at him that it caused a real rift in our relationship. A doctor told me that the cold didn't make him sick, it just speeded it along a bit. That helped me start to let go, but it took a while. So that was a tremendous strain on our marriage. I felt like I couldn't trust him with our son. Arguments ensued. As our son got better, I was able to let go of my anger. Things got better. We had little time for romantic moments, but I didn't really care.
Number two was a complete surprise. I honestly don't know how she happened. We were using protection. Things didn't change much. But seeing my husband with his daughter, being careful and loving and snuggling her, made me love him a little bit more than I already did. He was more tender with her because she is a girl.
Number three made things hard again. Our feelings about having a preemie were totally different. My heart was in the NICU with her. He didn't understand. She was expected to be just fine, so what was I worrying about? My heart was broken because I couldn't be with her like I wanted. So, we grew apart a little more. Our romantic time had increased as our older children got older and now we were back to not having the time anymore. Now that Aly is older and doesn't require as much care, we have more time for each other again. He is even more tender and loving to our tiny little girl than with each of the other ones. He has learned that even if we don't see eye to eye, he can still support me and just let me cry. He can't fix everything, but just being there is enough. Our marriage is very solid now. We have grown so much in the last ten years. I love him more and more every day. :)
DH and I knew each other for about a year before we started dating. Then, we only really 'dated' for a few months before he proposed. We were married a year later, so we knew it each other for 2 years before we married. We were best of friends when we got married. We had both been previously married, so we both know that being friends first has really made us stronger.
We met at work, he was my supervisor (ooooh!!). We worked at police/fire/ems dispatchers. We have been in crazy stressfull situations, we have been on the radio and heard our friend get shot, we have been on the phone and heard someone getting the life beat out of them, and DH was on the phone with a mom who found her baby unresponsive in her crib. So, honestly, everyday life really doesn't stress us out. I saw, and he still does, the worst times in people's life almost everyday. When you deal with those times in people's life, some people learn to be thankful for everyday. It may not be perfect, but we all still have each other.
I guess our biggest change was that life was not about us anymore, everything was about Dane and his needs. We couldn't just sleep in on Saturday, do the chores whenever we felt like it, go out to eat whenever, decide one weekend we were going up to the mountains, etc. It was now about our little man. It was a big adjustment, going from doing whatever we wanted to now getting up every few hours to change, feed, burp and put Dane back to bed. Before, if I had to pee, I would just go to the bathroom. Now, I was at home alone at night, holding my screaming baby because he had colic, and I had to pee. In the beginning I had a hard time putting him down, even to just pee. I mean, my baby is upset, I have to hold him! DH thought I was a loon. Most of the time he would just shake his head at me. I knew I was a loon, but I didn't know what else to do.
I think for us, we were, and still are, best of friends. And, we know that if we want to keep our family together, we have to have the strongest bond. You know that best friend you have, you will do anything for each other, no questions asked and you never expect anything in return. That is DH and I. We both know that life around us happens, we will get stressed out, we do bicker, we do drive each other crazy sometimes, but at the end of the day, it's all about our little family. And, we would both go to the end of the world for the rest of our days, for our little family.
That was a personal subject to broach, and your stories should help my friend(s) feel more "normal" with everything they're struggling with in family and marriage.
Thanks again.
Possible TRIGGS?
I would have to say that our marriage is better now than before we had DD. We dealt with infertility for 2.5 years (I have PCOS) before she was conceived. I have never wanted anything in my life like I wanted to be a mother so each month that it didn't happen was devastating. I really struggled with depression, anger and disappointment about the difficulties we were having getting PG. I hated myself and felt like it was my fault that I couldn't give DH a child which naturally put a lot of stress on our marriage. As I'm thinking back on that time to write this I have tears in my eyes as I remember how compassionate and patient my DH was with me. He was my shoulder to cry on when I couldn't bring myself to do anything but sob and he was my strength when I had none left. I know he struggled with his own disappointment but he remained so supportive and optimistic despite me being the complete opposite. When we found out our prayers had been answered and DD was on the way it was like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders and subsequently our marriage. I was able to stop hating myself and feeling unworthy of DH's love and I felt like my "old self" again. It took so much stress off DH too because I know he felt like he was doing something wrong that he couldn't pull me out of my depression himself.
I will never say that life is perfect now...I know better, LOL, but things really are good. I couldn't ask for a better father for my DD and the bond that the two of them have brings so much joy to my heart. I fall in love with DH all over again when I see them snuggled together in the recliner watching Sesame Street or when he "tastes" something she brings him from her little kitchen and he pretends that it is the yummiest thing he has ever tasted.
We definitely do have our rough patches and more than our fair share of arguments. We are both stubborn to a fault and sometimes DD's presence is the only thing that keeps us civil to one another. However, like Jamie said, they are just moments and I know for us that the good outweighs the bad a hundred times over.
your story was awesome...as the others are, too.
Thanks for sharing something so personal.
So what I'm reading from everyone's posts -- the basic theme -- is that yes, their marriages have changed since children, but the children seem to be the glue that bonds everyone together.

Daniel Clowes' comic book, Eightball # 23 contained a 48 page story called "The Death–Ray." It's a superhero origin story about a teenage boy named Andy who discovers he has superpowers whenever he takes a puff of a cigarette.
I won't spoil the story by telling you how Andy acquired this ability, but he also discovers a costume along with a comical-looking ray gun that can instantly and silently remove any life-form from the face of the Earth without a trace. Andy and his loyal sidekick Louie -- often the targets of bullies at school -- use and abuse Andy's omnipotence as a tool of revenge and vigilante vengeance, with mixed results.
This new hardcover edition (published by Drawn and Quarterly) is presented in a much larger format than it appeared in Eightball #23. As usual, the art and design is exemplary -- Clowes tells this story of triumph and betrayal in the form of one- and two-page chapters that jump between first person narrative, fly-on-the-the-wall reporting, and after-the-fact documentary style interviews. This masterpiece makes it clear (at least to me) that Daniel Clowes is one of the greatest living cartoonists.
I wish Clowes would write a novel. Not because I don't like his art (I love it), but because his graphic novels can be read in less than an hour, and I would like to become immersed in one of his stories for a much longer time.

I'm not for anything that takes Clowes away from comics. Unless it's a movie that's as entertaining as Ghost World.
scifijazznik says:

It's almost a shame to call Clowes a "cartoonist." I think his characters and stories set him above his contemporaries. I heard a while back that Death Ray was going to be made into a movie. I'm cautiously optimistic considering how well the celluloid version of Ghost World turned out. I doubt, however, we'll see a Hollywood version of Pussey! any time soon…
azzamckazza says:
Glad that they've released this as I agree its his best work. More people need to read it.
baronkarza says:
He used to write comics that were actually blisteringly funny, but that was a bit before Eightball's 20th issue. When he started with the muted colors, hardbacks and heavy paper, it was like he started believing all the critical praise about himself and lost how to be funny. Maybe he just wasn't angry at the world anymore, but it all got so angsty about these hollow people with boring lives in a prefab world where..ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.
That said, a movie version of "Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron" would be amazingly disturbing. With an animated cartoon of "Needle-Dick the Bug Fucker" before the feature.

In order to describe the direction of a vector quantity, you must designate a coordinate system within the reference frame. For one-dimensional motion, this is a simple coordinate system consisting of a one-dimensional coordinate line. In general, when describing horizontal motion, motion to the right is usually considered positive, and motion to the left is considered negative. With vertical motion, motion up is usually positive and motion down is negative. In some cases, however, as with the jet in Figure 1, it can be more convenient to switch the positive and negative directions. For example, if you are analyzing the motion of falling objects, it can be useful to define downwards as the positive direction. If people in a race are running to the left, it is useful to define left as the positive direction. It does not matter as long as the system is clear and consistent. Once you assign a positive direction and start solving a problem, you cannot change it.
Check Your Understanding
A person's speed can stay the same as he or she rounds a corner and changes direction. Given this information, is speed a scalar or a vector quantity? Explain.
Speed is a scalar quantity. It does not change at all with direction changes; therefore, it has magnitude only. If it were a vector quantity, it would change as direction changes (even if its magnitude remained constant).

Frequency of the Male Infertility Evaluation: Data from the National Survey of Family Growth
2013; 189 (3): 1030-1034
An estimated 7 million American couples per year seek infertility care in the United States. A male factor contributes to 50% of cases but it is unclear what proportion of infertile couples undergoes male evaluation.We analyzed data from cycles 5 to 7 of the National Survey of Family Growth performed by the Centers for Disease Control to determine the frequency of a male infertility evaluation, and associated reproductive and demographic factors.A total of 25,846 women and 11,067 men were surveyed. Male evaluation was not completed in 18% of couples when the male partner was asked vs 27% when female partners were asked. This corresponds to approximately 370,000 to 860,000 men in the population who were not evaluated at the time of infertility evaluation. Longer infertility duration and white race were associated with increased odds of male infertility evaluation. The male and female samples showed no change in the receipt of male examination with time.Many men from infertile couples do not undergo male evaluation in the United States. Given the potential implications to reproductive goals and male health, further examination of this pattern is warranted.

The Lower Merion School District was still planning as of Friday afternoon to have its school board meeting Monday night, at which a new contract with teachers and other employees could be finalized, district spokesman Doug Young said. Any cancellations of meetings or classes will be announced promptly at lmsd.org and on television, and also through other channels to parents.
Lower Merion Township emergency management officials met Friday afternoon, township spokesman Tom Walsh said. Residents were advised to continue checking www.lowermerion.org for relevant warnings and information about services.
According to the township's advisory Friday afternoon:
"We may receive four to 12 inches of rain between Sunday evening and Wednesday. Very strong winds are also likely. As a result, we can expect long-term power outages, downed trees, flooding, and road closures."
Residents were advised to prepare accordingly. Power outages can be reported to PECO by calling 800-841-4141.
Township committee meetings were still scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evenings as of early Saturday morning.
Narberth borough has moved its Monday night budget meeting to Thursday, assistant borough manager Fred Hansell told Patch. The borough also issued the following advisory:
- Move indoors anything that could be blown around by high winds; such items as lawn chairs, barbecues, outdoor tables and sun umbrellas and even Halloween decorations. All of these can become projectiles during high wind events.
- There is a distinct possibility of prolonged power outages, collect food and water to last about 3 days.
- Clear your gutters. Clear leaves from the street so that they do not block storm drains.
- Don't travel during the storm, but if you must, DO NOT drive around road closed signs or attempt to drive through high water; only 6" of water can float a car.
- Make sure you have batteries for your flashlights
- After the storm, DO NOT attempt to move downed wires, the utility companies will be out in-force making repairs, but this may take up to several days.
Montgomery County also issued tips for getting through the hurricane.
The Fall Festival and ribbon cuttings at the Cynwyd Heritage Trail in Bala Cynwyd on Sunday were still on as of Friday afternoon.
However, the Merion Park Civic Association pumpkin-decorating event, also set for Sunday, has been canceled, the association announced late Friday night.
Have you organized an upcoming event that you want readers to know the status of? Are you planning to attend an event and want to know whether it's still going to happen? Tell us in the comments section below.

Waterfowl Season Off to Good Start
By DAVID RAINER
Alabama's waterfowl hunters had a good chance for fresh roast duck as the main course for Thanksgiving dinner as the waterfowl season opened with considerably more bang than in the past few years.
Several significant cold fronts moved ducks into the state earlier this year, and if hunters were lucky enough to have water, the action was greatly improved.
"From what I heard from various parts of the state, opening day of duck season was a good day," said David Hayden, waterfowl specialist with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WWF) Division. "There were good reports from the Mobile Delta and good reports from the Tennessee Valley. I haven't heard much from west Alabama, but what little I've heard it seems they've done well over there. It seems likes everybody had a good mixture of birds. Of course, there were a lot of gadwalls, as expected, because we've got so many. There were wigeons and teal. The Tennessee Valley had some mallards mixed in. There were good numbers and a good mixture of ducks."
Hayden also got a surprisingly good report on scaup, which had a change in the bag limit this season because of poor numbers in the breeding counts. The scaup (bluebill) bag limit will be one bird through Jan. 5 and then increase to two birds per day from Jan. 6-25.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service breeding population survey, scaup numbers were similar to last year, but last year's numbers were down. The Service delayed any bag reductions until this year. At first, USFWS was leaning toward a one-scaup limit, but changed to a bag limit that changes from one bird to two during the season.
"It was a situation where estimates showed that more than one bird could be harvested part of the season, but not all of the season," Hayden said. "That's where the hybrid season came from."
Of course, there was some concern that the changing bag limit could cause confusion among waterfowl hunters.
"That was discussed at length," Hayden said. "The Service said you didn't have to take it, you could go with a one-bird bag for the whole season. Some states chose to do that. We discussed doing that, but we felt it was best to provide the maximum opportunity that we could. So we went with one bird for 40 days and two birds for 20 days. Corky (Pugh, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division Director) really pushed for the two-bird bag late in the season."
Chuck Sharp, wildlife biologist who handles the waterfowl reports for WFF, echoed Hayden's information and had some first-hand information about the hunting in the Mobile area.
"On opening day, there was a lot of shooting going on – a lot of ducks flying around," Sharp said. "The (aerial) surveys just prior to the season showed better numbers than the last few years, both on the Tennessee River and the Mobile Delta. The majority of ducks were gadwalls, which you would expect this time of year. But they did take some other ducks. The last few years we haven't had much variety. This year we had blue-winged and green-winged teal, wigeons, shovelers, mergansers and a few mallards along the Causeway. There were a good number of scaup. That was the number that was up the most in our survey. There was a good number holding south of the Causeway. There were also a few redheads and mottled ducks taken.
"In the Delta, opening day was real good. The second day was pretty good. It wasn't as good right at shooting time, but it got better on up in the morning when the ducks were filtering back north to feed."
Whether the success will last is obviously dependent on weather – specifically cold weather to the north and rainfall to fill up holes that dried out during the prolonged drought in most of the state.
"We had a pretty strong front and I suspect more ducks came in," said Sharp, who is based in Spanish Fort. "North Alabama probably gained more than we did.
It's been pretty cold in the northern tier of states, but I think rain is the biggest factor. We were pretty dry, but we got a good rain over the weekend. I'm not sure if the gum ponds got filled up, but it certainly will help. It's looking a lot better than it did."
Alabama's waterfowl season remains under the "liberal" designation from the USFWS with a 60-day regular duck, coot and merganser season, which runs through Jan. 25 with a six-duck bag limit.
The daily limit can consist of no more than four mallards (no more than two of which may be female), three wood ducks, three mottled ducks, one black duck, two redhead and one pintail. Again, the limit on scaup is one bird through Jan. 5 and two birds from Jan. 6-25. The harvest of canvasback is prohibited because of a significant reduction in the USFWS' breeding population count. Canvasback numbers were down 44 percent from last year's record high and 14 percent below the long-term average.
"The breeding population numbers for canvasback were way down from last year," Hayden said. "It was a pretty significant reduction. Based on the prescription we follow for canvasback season, it fell in the 'closed' scenario. The question was, because of dry conditions, did some of the birds overfly their normal breeding areas and weren't counted? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service went over the data and talked with the biologists and they could not determine that that had occurred. So they felt the numbers were reasonably valid."
The bag limit for mergansers is five per day, only two of which may be hooded mergansers. The bag limit on coots is 15 per day. The possession limit on coots and mergansers is twice the daily bag limit.
Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset, except during regular duck season in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. In the area north of Battleship Parkway, west of Alabama Highway 225, south of CSX Railroad tracks, and east of the west bank of the Mobile River: Monday through Thursday shooting hours shall be one-half hour before sunrise to 12:00 noon; Friday through Sunday shooting hours shall be one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.
The regular goose season – statewide, including the Southern James Bay Population Zone – is open through Jan. 25. The daily bag limit of five shall not include more than two Canada geese or two white-fronted geese. The possession limit of five shall include no more than four Canada geese and white-fronted geese in aggregate.

In yesterday's Out to Eat column, I introduced readers to Jolie Zhou, a Chinese woman from Changchun who's offering handmade dumplings at the North Tonawanda Farmers Market.
Her stand is at the northern edge of the market, which is at Robinson and Payne streets.
She might be sold out by the time you read this, but she'll be back next week. She tries to bring several varieties, including meat, fish and vegetarian types, and they run $7-$9 for 10. They're boiled or frozen, but she points out that you can fry the boiled ones at home if you prefer them that way.
My father had some of her beef-and-ginger dumplings for breakfast. Good choice, he said.

I'd only heard a few hushed raves regarding Dead Set before an awesome horror geek (this guy, actually) bought me a Region 2 copy during his adventures overseas. Knowing only that A) Dead Set was about a zombie apocalypse as seen through the camera lenses of an obnoxious reality series, and B) it was written and produced by the wonderfully clever Charlie Brooker -- I was very psyched to dive right in and see what Dead Set was all about. But first ... a little basic information:
Dead Set was produced for Britain's E4 network, which I assume is sort of like Showtime over here. As in, it's a pay channel, there's no damn commercials, and you can get as violent / gory / nasty as you want! The series ran from October 27 to 31, and was then released onto DVD only a few days later! That DVD contains all five episodes, which makes Dead Set feel like an epic 140-minute horror film, as opposed to what you'd normally consider a "TV-quality" mini-movie. And make no mistake: This thing is a horror movie, a damn good one, and perhaps the finest "serious" zombie film since 1978's Dawn of the Dead. (I say "serious" that way because A) Shaun of the Dead is awesome, but mainly a comedy, B) 28 Days Later is also fantastic, but it's not a zombie movie, and C) despite a very quick wit and a few moments of tension-releasing silliness, Dead Set is a serious HORROR movie. As in, one that wants to dole out scares and screams and slimy splats of carnage, but it also wants to say just a little bit of something about the world we live in. If Romero's Dawn was an indictment of rampant consumerism, then Dead Set is a kick in the arse of cable-ready conformity.
But the "themes and messages" are the sort of things you can discover (or ignore) for yourself, because Dead Set is, quite simply, one hell of a fun flick. The setting is a big, swanky episode of Big Brother (which is MUCH bigger in Britain than it is over here, and how), and we're introduced to all the players in smart, efficient fashion. There's the hilariously overbearing producer, the hard-working young intern, several disinterested tech monkeys, and (of course) a "reality" ensemble that includes a hot bimbo, a dumb hunk, a weird whiner ... don't pretend you haven't seen a few episodes of Big Brother, The Real World, or Survivor. Suffice to say that TV pundit Brooker takes firm aim on the most annoying stereotypes, lampoons some and subverts a few others. Basically, half the characters are obnoxious enough to make your cheer their demise -- and others are surprisingly human enough to warrant some sympathy when THEY get chomped upon.
Gorehounds will no doubt delight at the film's nastiest bits of mayhem, and it's here that Brooker and series director Yann Demange prove that they're trying to push the envelope just a little. Dead Set is presented almost entirely through hand-held "candid" cameras, and man ... when done properly, this documentary-style approach can bring a lot to the horror game. (And it doesn't hurt that the entire cast is unexpectedly fantastic, especially Andy Nyman and Jaime Winstone.) Frankly I can't remember the last 2+ hour horror film that breezed by at such a slick clip. Were it not for the "episode breaks," I'd have sworn the thing was 102 minutes. And then when it was over, I wished it was even longer.
Fortunately the DVD comes with all sorts of little bells and whistles, so when you manage to be the first horror geek on the (American) block to get the Dead Set DVD, you can break out all sorts of geeky knowledge. Because that can be fun sometimes. No commentaries, unfortunately, but plenty in the way of cast / crew interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and deleted / extended scenes. Trust me when I tell you this one is worth the extra shipping cost from Amazon.uk. Dead Set is far and away one of the best zombie movies I've ever seen. And I've seen 'em all.

Courier staff writer
---- — OTTUMWA — As local law enforcement agencies begin the switch from analog to digital communication, some police scanners will become somewhat obsolete.
The Ottumwa Police Department and Wapello County Sheriff's Office need to switch to digital frequencies in order to better communicate with each other, but that means the scanners found in many Ottumwans' homes will no longer be able to pick up on local scanner traffic.
But Wapello County Emergency Management coordinator Josh Stevens said analog-only scanners will still work with other agencies in the county.
"For an agency to move from analog to digital, they have to replace all of their equipment," Stevens said. "[Digital] P25 makes it so that in the future, they're inter-operable between different platforms of communication, which is a big push, especially after 9/11."
P25, or Project 25, "is the standard for the design and manufacture of inter-operable digital two-way wireless communications products," according to the Project 25 Technology Interest Group's website.
This ensures that no matter the brand of equipment, both can be programmed to communicate with each other, Stevens said.
"No matter what equipment they buy, they'll be able to talk to someone else if they're P25," he said.
The two departments' decisions to switch to P25 were not made to block the public from listening to scanner traffic, he said.
"It's just a new type of communication," he said. "Digital P25, from our propagation study, showed to have increased coverage, which was one of the main things we focused on when moving the equipment. That's why we did studies on various locations in the county and Ottumwa for the new tower site. We wanted to make sure that our push was to increase coverage for our first responders, and P25 showed on the studies to give us better coverage."
Police scanners that can handle P25 digital decoding cost upwards of $300 and as much as $700.
With the installation of the new communications tower on Ottumwa Street, 14 agencies will be secured to the tower with 18 attachments.
While 12 of the agencies are moving their communications equipment from atop St. Joseph Hospital to the new tower, they will remain analog as they are today, he said.
"We needed a new location because St. Joe's Hospital is going to be torn down, so it made sense for us to group some of those agencies together and pick a spot that's great for everyone, that will have back-up power at one location so we don't have multiple generators," he said.
The agencies that will soon be connected to the new tower include the OPD, Wapello County Sheriff's Office, ORMICS, Wapello County secondary roads, Ottumwa Fire Department, county fire (which pages Blakesburg and Agency Fire Departments), Wapello County engineer's office, amateur radio (part of the county's contingency plan for communications), Eldon Fire Department, a medical link toward Eldon, communications with the Iowa State Patrol and mutual aid and a microwave link.
The microwave link will connect dispatch to the tower.
"Right now we use ... phone lines that don't have a dial tone but have a continuing monthly cost, kind of like buying a land line for a telephone, but this is very expensive and has multiple sets all consolidated into a microwave link," he said.
The tower will also hold back-up attachments unassigned to a specific agency. If something were to happen to another agency's equipment, they could switch to the back-up attachments.

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Scott Walker responds to critics who say his plans punish jobless people
Speaking on the Charlie Sykes show this morning, Gov. Scott Walker offered two anecdotes in defense of his proposal to require people on unemployment benefits to do four job applications a week instead of two.
"We say four or more, and the reason I say that is because I hear from employers all the time who tell me how frustrating it is that they have jobs open because all too often they hear the mumbling of people who really just come in and want to get things signed off to continue to get their benefits," Walker said on 620 WTMJ.
He added: "That's not what it's for. It's for people who are temporarily in a hard spot, to help them back up on their feet again until such time they can find work. So, we want to do everything in our power to encourage work."
Walker said he laughed when the media and some on the left complained he was making it harder to get unemployment.
"I can still think in my own ears hearing my parents," Walker said. "If I was looking for work they'd tell me I should be out five days a week or anytime thereafter that a business was open that I could be looking for work. What we're doing is not punishing."
Sykes also asked Walker about his decision to turn down federal money for expanding Medicaid health services. By instead moving some people onto health insurance through the federal health care law, wasn't that keeping those people dependent on the government, Sykes asked.
Walker said it's better than being dependent on Medicaid, in part because it costs the state so much. And he said it's easier under the federal health care law to transition into traditional private health insurance and off of the government's help.

Governor Liar spouting more crap on the Psycho show. Never believe this clown. Never!
Is this guy too scared to grant interviews to legitimate media outlets? Wisconsin deserves more than softball questions from card-carrying Republican Charlie Sykes.Hide replies
He appears regularly on Mike Gousha's show. Or is that not legit enough?
chuckie the last time Walker went on a real media network Erin Burnett chewed him up and spit him out I thought the poor guy was going to crap his pants right on national tv
who the hell is Erin Burnett and what's makes her "real?"
mke...she's NOT on Fox....it may take you awhile to find her. You should try her, you'd like her...she mocked Occupy protesters.
Erin Burnett could not hack it at CNBC and ended up at the retirement home network CNN,
" CNN anchor suggests meteor hurtling toward Earth could be a result of global warming"
Sounds like common sense principles to anyone with work ethic
OMG!! If Scott Walker isn't out of town every day begging DEFENSE FUND DONATIONS he is on the Sykes show Maybe he should spend more time actually working on creating his "PROMISED" 250000 new private sector jobs and 10 thousand new businesses and less time reporting to his puppet handlers.Every day of the week either Paul Ryan Ron Johnson or Scott Walker is on AM TALK RADIO defending something stupid the just said or did.Hide replies
hyperbole is your only argument. great work there
When you're looking, you send out as much paper as you can. Once you've covered all openings in your area, and nothing new opens up, this new ruling makes life very difficult. You cannot reasonably apply for a position more than once a month - or less - and still retain your dignity. The company offering that position begins to laugh at you. If no new positions come on the listings, what then????Hide replies
Or maybe, if a company sees that you have expressed interest and are willing to keep coming back to try to work for them, they might see that as a positive trait and be more inclined to take a better look at you....unless of course your purpose is not to get a job, because you are just doing this to satisfy the unemployment requirements.
saravt, your truth interferes with Walkers "strawman"-"they are just going through the motions" lie. For Walker to claim that this phoney fable comes from credible businessmen he knows is the second prong of this "big lie"
Since when is not getting free stuff from someone else a "punishment"?
This requirement is completely idiotic for the obvious reason: people who don't want jobs like Scooter claims will simply now apply for twice as many jobs they don't want and people that do will now apply for jobs that they are not interested in or qualified for. So now you are generating twice as much paperwork for businesses, which costs more them more time and money. This benefits NO ONE.Hide replies
so based on your argument, dont require unemployed people to do anything, just hand over money to them. got it, thanks for the valuable insight
You are correct. Unemployed persons will simply file two types of applications. The first are complete, accurage applications for the jobs they really do want and are interested in. The other will be incomplete, frivolous applications for jobs they have no interest in. These will no doubt be at places like McDonald's, Burger King, Culver's, etc. The applicants will simply leave out piece of information in places like names of former supervisors, phone numbers, etc, or they will use fictious names like Donald Duct and Mickey Mouse for former supervisors. They will technically be in compliance with Scooter's new rules, but they will be wasting the time of the manager at the fast food restaraunt who's reviewing the applications.. Mano's right, this benefits no one. But Scooter prove day in and day out he does not care about the workng poor and working classof Wiscosin. Why should he? While some of them may vote for him, they are not giving money to his campaign fund. College drop out Scooter's donors are the likes of Dian "I proudly do not pay Wisconsn Income Tax depsite makeing over a billon dollare a year" Hendrick and the infamous Koch brothers.
If you don't actually want a job and are collecting unemployment, this benefits the rest of the citizens of our state if you are too lazy to make a concerted effort to get work. Plus, if you think getting a job at McDonald's or Burger King is beneath you, take a look in the mirror and realize that sitting at home unemployed is far more demeaning than having a job you don't like.
Mano, Walker's goal is not to employ but to "PUNISH" those terrible takers whose withholding over the years more than paid for their temporary UC bridge to survival. Besides , the trust fund feeders preying on the unemployed on this board love to see Walker pounding the blameles victims of his consumer demand reducing policy of impoverishing public employees,
I've never been elgible or collected unemployment.It would be good to hear from those that are currently elgible. Many of my friends work long hours and 7 days a week on seasonal jobs and are layed off in the winter.Their family count on the time together and their employers look forward to getting the same experienced crews back after winter. They are not machines and the time off system seems to help both them,their family and employer.Hide replies
That is all fine and good that they treasure their time off, but at the same time, it is not up to the others in this state to pay for them sitting around with their families. The reason for unemployment is for a bridge when you are looking for a job, not to get paid during an extended vacation.
But as podman stated, the seasonal employers still need their employees in the spring.
Is it your wish that each and every seasonal employer in this state start fresh each year with training for new employees?
This state has a LOT of seasonal employers.
These employers whose workers are laid off each winter pay quite a bit higher unemployment taxes than the average employer - so *they* (the employers) "pay for them sitting around with their families" (as you put it) by their higher unemployment tax rate, and they benefit by doing so in that they get their trained/skilled employees back in the spring.
Crew; I disagree. As I stated never collected unemployment, so I guess I'm one of the others you refer to and I don't have a problem paying them knowing their double shifts and 7 day work weeks give us all paved roads,bridges and a means of transportation for the state. I doubt that you work at a job that is as physically demanding so probably will not understand .
4 times a week?
Oh the humanity!
How dare he ask the unemployed to actually look for work.Hide replies
I know eh. How in the world will unemployed people EVER find the time to fill out 4 WHOLE APPLICATIONS a week?

The have re-signed former star to pitch for the team in the 2012 season.
Blevins was selected in the 13th round of the 2007 draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and has advanced to pitch as high as the AAA level with Albuquerque in the Pacific Coast League. One year ago, Blevins started the season as the ace of the Boulders' staff, winning their first game ever in an 11-5 decision over the Newark Bears on May 26, 2011.
Three weeks later, in front of a then team-record crowd of 6,317, the graduate of LeMoyne College allowed just one run on three hits over eight innings to take the victory as the Boulders won their home opener over the Brockton Rox, 3-1, on June 16.
Blevins finished the 2011 season with a 6-8 record and a 3.99 earned run average. He was the workhorse of the Rockland staff, as his 131.0 innings pitched ranked second in the Can-Am League, while he led the circuit with six complete games, and his 82 strikeouts tied for eighth overall in that category.
This February, Blevins was hired as pitching coach at Dominican College in Orangeburg.
He becomes the to return to the Boulders, joining pitchers , , and , infielders , and , catcher , and outfielder .
Players will report for training camp on May 5, and the Boulders begin the 2012 season on the road against the Quebec les Capitales on May 17, with their home opener slated for Tuesday, May 22, against the Newark Bears at Provident Bank Park in Pomona.

CT Mirror: Tuition break for illegal residents advances--but how many will use it?
PSN on May 12, 2011 - 12:00am
By Jacqueline Rabe Thomas, Connecticut Mirror, May 12, 2011
The state House of Representatives Thursday approved a bill to give undocumented residents in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, but advocates say they fear eligible students may be scared off by the requirement that they admit their illegal status.
The bill, approved 77-63 by the House, would require students to sign an affidavit confirming they live in the U.S. illegally and have applied for legal residency. Advocates say this formal admission will deter some students from coming forward, for fear that the affidavit would be used to deport them.
State Rep. Juan Candeleria: 'There is no social benefit for charging these students higher tuition'
Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven and a champion on the proposal, said the requirement may have a "chilling effect" on participation rates.
"But many will be willing to go forward with that concern in the back of their mind," he said.
Nationwide, 10 states provide in-state tuition for undocumented students and almost all require students sign an affidavit, according to a report from the National Conference of State Legislators. Suman Raghunathan, who tracks immigration policy for the State Legislators for Progressive Immigration Policy, said the affidavit requirement does deter some students.
"Folks are concerned to submit this," said Raghunathan.
"There is fear this will be used in the wrong way. There is a culture of silence about this among those that are undocumented," echoed Lorella Praeli, an undocumented student at the private Quinnipiac College who is an advocate for giving in-state tuition to illegal residents. "There are many who are afraid to come forward."
Praeli, who moved to New Milford from Peru at 10 years old, is not one of them. While testifying before state legislators in March, she said that she is "unafraid and unapologetic" for supporting the in-state tuition bill. But about a dozen other students who testified during that same public hearing said they were speaking for friends who were afraid to come forward.
Lee Melvin, UConn's Enrollment Director, said during a recent interview he's not sure who will have access to these affidavits. He also said he does not know how the university would respond if asked by federal officials for these affidavits.
But Praeli and Raghunathan said it's important to note that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has never gone after undocumented students in 10 other states that have passed similar measures over the last decade.
"I have never heard of that information being transmitted," said Raghunathan.
A amendment proposed by Republican legislators that would have required school officials to transmit affidavits to federal officials did not make it to the floor Thursday.
College officials estimate there are only a small number of undocumented students enrolled in the state's public colleges and universities, where tuition for in-state students is about a third that charged students from out-of-state.
But Republican lawmakers debating the bill in the House said they worry this proposal would greatly increase enrollment of undocumented students and reduce opportunities for legal residents--particularly at UConn, which is at capacity. The Connecticut State University System and some of the community colleges have space available.
"This could bump some of the legal residents. That's a consideration we can't overlook and can't ignore," said Rep. Timothy LeGeyt of Canton, the ranking Republican on the Higher Education Committee.
"There's winners and there's losers," agreed House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk. "Remember folks, when someone gets in, someone gets denied."
Supporters of the bill disagreed.
"Why are we afraid of these people?" asked House Majority Leader J. Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden. "You still have to complete for your place... in that institution of higher education."
Rep. Juan Candelaria, D-New Haven and vice-chairman of the Higher Education Committee, said charging higher tuition from undocumented students hurts the state in the end.
"There is no social benefit for charging these students higher tuition," he said. "It deprives the state of that student's intellectual capacity."
Republican lawmakers also said they are concerned that the state will subsidize the education of people whose parents do not pay taxes. An amendment that would require the affidavit to include that students could only receive in-state tuition if their parents are state taxpayers failed along party lines.
"I maintain there will be taxpayer expenses," LeGeyt said.
A recent report by the legislature's non-partisan budget office said the bill won't necessarily increase higher education costs. The report says the state colleges and universities can adjust the ratio of in-state to out-of-state student as needed to make up for the lower tuition for undocumented students.
The state spent $1.1 billion for higher education last fiscal year, according to a report from the State Higher Education Executive Officers, or $8,450 for each full-time equivalent student.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where final passage is expected. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has said he will sign the bill.

The music on my page explains it all.
No favourite stories listed.

I turned 19 in the summer of 2011. I had just ended a relationship with a skank who cheated on me after couple years of being together. I didn't care too much, why waste my time on a whore? It wasn't long before I was back on the prowl. I didn't want a relationship. I was finished with those for a while. I was looking for a bitch who would suck my dick - anywhere, anytime - a slut that I...

The City of Dunedin has a problem.
The city of Tampa has a problem.
The cities of Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, have a problem.
Pinellas County, Hillsborough County and counties across and the state of Florida have a problem so grave and, yet, so easy to fix it ought to be addressed here and now.
We, as a group, are not doing our jobs, and supporting the great game of baseball.
After the buzz of Spring Training dies down, and the hot summer months descend upon us, we allow some of the most talented baseball players in the world to play in empty stadiums night, after night, after night.
Let's do something to change that.
Tickets to Florida State League games can be had across the league for $5 to $10 on a nightly basis ($6 every night here in Dunedin), and you can find season ticket packages in double digits all over the state. Most games feature food and/or beverage specials, and also offer the opportunity to win great prizes throughout the night.
How about a free iPad, a free laptop, or a free car? Wash that down with a $2 beverage, or a $1 hotdog, or a buy one get one free margarita if you're in the mood!
Who could ask for more than that?
I beg you, for the sake of these players and for the good of our own community, come on out and enjoy the experience of baseball!
Be calmed by its beauty, its grace, and its artistry. Be thrilled by a home plate collision, a hard line drive, and a strikeout in the bottom of the ninth. Be with your friends and family, bring a date — take a chance.
Come out and watch some baseball this summer — I dare you!
Come watch the Blue Jays in Dunedin.
Come see us on the road in Tampa and Lakeland, and come see us in Clearwater and Bradenton. Heck, take a road trip over to Jupiter with us this summer, and spend a weekend out fishing by day, and watching baseball at night.
There's no reason not to.
These teams need you, and if you give these games a chance, you just might realize that you need them too.

lathe remote switch
Best Uses
a bit overpriced for what it is
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Working well for 1.5 years
Best Uses
I bought this switch right after getting my 3520 lathe. I wanted the safety and convenience of a remote switch. I use this switch almost every time I use my lathe, and I'm on my lathe nearly 5 days a week,and the switch has shown no issues for me on its reliability. I've heard alot of stories of others having problems, and I expect I'll eventually have to disassemble it to clean contacts or replace. Meanwhile, this is an excellent addition and I would miss it to not have it, especially when doing work that you don't want to reach around to main switch to shut the power off.
I'd recommend it.

This switch is a piece of junk!!!!
Best Uses
I bought this switch shortly after I got my lathe. After a week of use, the switch failed. Sent it back to Powermatic, they sat on it for a month before I had to call and light a fire under them. Confused technician said he would send a new one out to me. I received back the same switch, which had a bunch of RTV gooped on it. After using it for two days, it failed again. My advice is make your own. I am going to send it back to CPO.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Since pulling out consideration for Sochi, Lindsey Vonn has not said anything about potentially going for the 2018 Olympics.
If she did go to Pyeongchang, South Korea, in four years, she would do so in a bid to become the oldest Olympic women's Alpine skiing medalist of all time (assuming the record isn't broken in Sochi).
RELATED: Vonn follows path forged by Street
But one of her idols doesn't think Vonn will come anywhere close to that.
Embedded owg_slideshow: Lindsey Vonn: I've got Games
"I think she's done [after next season]," said Olympic champion Picabo Street, according to the Denver Post. "I think she comes back for a rip-roaring 2014-15 season, she wins those three and then some, she double medals at the World Championships and she hangs it up, becomes a trophy wife. Where's the motivation coming from for her to do more than that?"
Vonn did say after pulling out of the Olympics that her sights are set on the 2015 World Championships near her home in Vail, Colo. She's also three World Cup wins behind Austrian Annemarie Moser-Proell for the most all-time by a woman.
Here's what Vonn has said about her skiing future, before she ended her season last week.

By Magen McCrarey
Staff Writer
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Since I come from a long line of hard working women, and outspoken ones at that, I endorse that fact that a presidential candidate has asked for "binders full of women" to fill government positions — but that's not going to solve the environment and the way we are viewed in the workforce.
My grandmother, Mary Lou Perdue, had my mother at a young age and continued her education even as a single mother. She later co-owned the Checker Cab Co. with her husband, which is now largest cab company in Detroit. My grandmother, Juanita McCrarey, grew up without a father deep in eastern Kentucky, sold moonshine as a kid with her uncle and left home at 16 for work in Detroit, Mich. She raised three children while working long hours at General Motors (GM) and later retired to raise a cluster of grandchildren.
As I recently flipped through old photographs of my father's grandmother, Vergie Adams, it was evident she too was a hard laborer. She was a single mother who raised nine kids and her always tightly pursed lips certainly suggested self discipline, just as her neatly tucked in shirt and flawless, jet black hair did. Even though her children and my grandmother were dirt poor, sleeping on straw beds and working long days farming their land, they believed themselves to be rich. They were only rich in hope and spirit.
That spirit of perseverance and faith has carried through the generations and has been instilled within me. I've been told I'm the only 23-year-old workaholic that many know and I graduated college at a young age. On the contrary, I believe that I behave as any other young professional with my sights set on nothing but success through my hard work. A recent statistic that barely shocked the pants off of me was that female graduates make $8,000 less than males -- go figure.
Many women still feel that they are the underdog in a man's world, but it's that mentality that's holding them back. I can find no rational reason why female graduates make less than males, but I do know that we work just as hard or harder.
I'm no feminist by any means. I don't believe I would ever vote for a female president but am fine with female CEOs and leaders on a smaller scale.
What really divides women from men in the workforce is their drive to support their families, while their hormones are working against them. Perhaps women are too compassionate and care too much about how they will affect another when it comes down to making a harsh decision. Maybe too many women leave work early to pick up their children from school or day care. Overall, could it be that men just see us as weak because we are a little more in tune with our emotions than them? Or do women lack the encouragement to take hold of their full potential and put their foot down for what they believe they deserve — even if it means confrontation?
Many CEOs, supervisors and managers need to take a good hard look at the way they treat their female employees, how little they are paid compared to the amount of work they accomplish and make changes from the ground up. I don't believe a future president can make any changes to the work environment, it clearly takes communities. You cannot separate the "wo" from "men," because without us multitasking powerhouses not a lot would get accomplished. The tables have turned over the years and many women are becoming the breadwinners for families, according to a survey conducted by Prudential Financial.
No matter who's elected president, it's up to us to change the way we are viewed in the workplace and begin to ask for what we deserve.

Justin Bieber Suffers Concussion In Paris After Walking Into Glass Wall
May 31, 2012 07:00 PM
After causing a riot that left 79 injured, Justin Bieber gave himself a concussion!
While performing a concert in Paris on Thursday night, Bieber suffered a slight concussion after the concert, when he hit a glass wall in between songs, and began to feel a little disoriented.
Not wanting to let his "Bibettes" down, the 18-year-old went on with the show, and then proceeded to pass out in his dressing room for 15 minutes afterward. Yikes!
Thankfully "The Biebs" is completely fine, and he jokingly assured his fans via Twitter:
- "i will see u again Glass. I will have my revenge. BIEBER vs GLASS. MGM LAS VEGAS 2013. lol. #GottaLaughAtYourself."
Justin's manager Scooter Braun also took to his Twitter after the incident, expressing: "jb is gonna be fine. things happen. he is a trooper. canadian hockey player. tough kid. no issue."
"now that he is ok i can say this... BIEBER and GLASS...they dont like eachother," Braun later added. "#ItHappenedAgain...but the fact that he still went and finished the last song and KILLED IT. That was impressive. #TrueProfessional"
Be more careful next time, Biebs!

Knoxville — Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) has introduced a bill that would rebate up to $2 million, or no more than 25 percent of the costs, of improvements at the Knoxville Raceway.
The bill, House File 2281 (click here) specifies the rebate would go to a raceway facility in a town with a population of more than 7,000, but no more than 7,500, in a county with 33,000 but no more than 33,450, would be eligible for sales tax rebates beginning Jan. 1, 2015, and continuing for 10 years or until the $2 million benchmark is reached.
"The Knoxville Raceway has been a racing icon, recognized worldwide, for over half a century," Rep. Greg Heartsill said in a press release. "We draw an international crowd to the heart of central Iowa."
As the Journal-Express has previously reported, the Marion County Fair Board, owners of the Knoxville Raceway, are developing long-term plans for the race track and the fairgrounds overall. Plans being considered area four-story building on the southeast corner of the track where the Skate Pit currently stands, an entry plaza and skywalk to existing stands, additional skyboxes, a rooftop terrace, raceway offices and retail space are also being considered. The Skate Pit would be relocated, either inside the new building or to Dyer-Hudson Hall.
One of the first steps is getting funding into place for this. Knoxville Raceway intends to make a significant investment, around $4 million, into the project. However, in response to the Legislature's past decisions to offer taxpayer support to other entertainment venues, the Raceway hired former Rep. Dave Schrader to act as a lobbyist on the track's behalf this session. Schrader is a long-term employee with the track and said that tax rebates are a way legislators prefer to offer this kind of support.
"A critical component of our project, some help in the form of funding assistance from the State, is appearing likely, thanks to great support from our legislators," Fair Board President Jason Reed said in a press release.

The Sabres have confirmed that No. 1 draft choice Mikhail Grigorenko (right) will attend training camp, whenever it starts. This was first reported late Sunday night in a French language report out of Quebec I cited earlier today.
Grigorenko, 18, was the star of the Russian team at the World Junior Championships and has 29 goals and 50 points in 30 games for the Quebec Ramparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Grigorenko can play up to nine NHL games without kicking in the first year of his entry-level contract. Once he gets to game 10, he cannot return to juniors. The junior tryout is similar to the one Tyler Myers got at the beginning of the 2009-10 season. Myers, of course, stayed in the NHL and went on to win the Calder Trophy.
Grigorenko is in a much different position, however, because of the shortened training camp and lack of exhibition games. How he performs in camp will clearly determine the Sabres' course of action but it would obviously better to see him in some games that don't count first. The Sabres won't have that luxury.
The Sabres need centers behind Tyler Ennis and Cody Hodgson and Grigorenko is certainly intriguing. He's also in elite game condition from his season and the top international tournament, where he outplayed teammate and No. 1 overall draft pick Nail Yakupov. It's reasonable to think the Sabres take a chance on him in early games to see how he does, especially as veterans get into shape.
They can always send him back to junior at any point before the nine games are up. No harm, no foul.
