Connecticut's Earned Income Tax Credit benefited 180,000 households last year, its first year of implementation, including 4,700 households in Meriden, according to a report compiled jointly by the Fiscal Policy Center at Connecticut Voices for Children and the Connecticut Association for Human Services.
Both groups called on state policymakers to continue supporting the tax credit for low- and moderate-income workers and to avoid cutbacks during the upcoming legislative session.
The state EITC was approved by the governor and General Assembly in 2011, and was first implemented in 2012 for income earned in 2011.
"The Earned Income Tax Credit is clearly working and making a big difference in the lives of working families," said Wade Gibson, Senior Policy Fellow at the Fiscal Policy Center. "We should continue support for the state credit, which helps to ensure that people who work are able to make ends meet and stay out of poverty."
"The EITC is widely recognized as the single most effective action the state can take to reward work, keep people off of state benefits, and lift kids out of poverty," said Jim Horan, executive director of the Connecticut Association for Human Services.
"Connecticut has taken a giant step forward with the state's EITC," he added. "If we go backwards, and take money out of the pockets of hardworking families, we are taking money away from the communities where they spend that money, and we are jeopardizing our fragile economic recovery."
You can view a PDF of the town-by-town data on the EITC above.
According to the report:
- In Meriden, the average amount of the state tax credit for the 2011 tax-filing year was $646. The average household income in Meriden among those claiming the credit was $18,451.
- Statewide, the average credit was about $600 and households claiming it had average incomes of about $18,000 – typically what a single parent working full-time just above the minimum wage would earn before paying taxes, the report states.
The study, taken from data at the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, praised the benefits of the credit for:
- Keeping people employed. The credit can only be claimed by people who earn income through work, and is structured to encourage people to work more.
- Making the state tax code fairer. The EITC was critical in balancing out the regressive impact of recent sales tax increases, which tend to hit low-and moderate-income residents hardest. People only receive the credit if they work and pay taxes, including federal payroll, state, and local taxes.
- Creating a proven anti-poverty tool. The federal EITC lifts more children out of poverty than any other federal program. In 2011, the federal EITC alone kept 61,000 people in Connecticut above the poverty line, including 35,000 children.
Workers who earned $50,270 or less in 2012 and were raising children, and single workers without children who earned $13,980 or less may qualify for the credit this year.
Tax filers can claim the federal and state EITC by filling out the EITC tax schedule form with their tax returns. Workers must claim the federal credit to obtain the state credit.
Free assistance with filing federal and state tax returns will be available for low- to moderate-income people through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites across the state.

The Yoga of Fertility
The Yoga of Fertility
Break through the "Pregnancy or Bust" Cycle
By Elizabeth Marglin
All too often, women trying to conceive get caught up in the frenzy of time running out, as if their bodies were bombs ticking away, about to detonate into an explosion of birth or an implosion of infertility. The focus relentlessly aims toward the future—starting with the hope for two blue lines on the next pregnancy test and reaching forward to thoughts of nurseries and strollers to come.
It seems the ideas of motherhood and expectation are inextricably linked. Interestingly, the word uterus comes from metra, the Greek word for measurement, which is also the root of the words time and mother. A healthy relationship to time—without a sense of graspiness or expectation—forms the essence of a fruitful approach to life and motherhood.
Yoga, with its spotlight on dropping into the present moment, helps people avoid becoming fixated on future. It helps would-be parents in other ways, too. One of its main benefits—reducing stress levels—takes the body out of its fertility-hindering fight-or-flight mode. If the body has to concentrate its resources on controlling stress, energy gets diverted away from reproduction. Since stress can constrict blood vessels, including those in the uterus, a yoga practice designed with the intention of lowering stress can only help with overall health and fertility.
"Stress plays a part in every single illness," Judith Lasater, PhD, a yoga teacher, practicing physical therapist, and author of Living Your Yoga: Finding the Spiritual in Everyday Life (Rodmell Press, 2000) says. "If you are in a stressed state, you don't have the hormonal profile of someone who is likely to get pregnant." She says she would emphasize a yoga practice that pays special attention to the qualities of "opening, softening, and yielding."
Regenerate with restorative posesWithin the yoga lexicon, inverted poses shine as excellent asanas for balancing the endocrine system, soothing rattled nerves, clearing the mind, resting the heart, and increasing circulation. Normally performed at the end of a practice, they can also stand alone as a quick time-out. One of the simplest and most effective poses, Legs Up the Wall Pose (Viparita Karani), restores beginners and advanced yogis alike.
Lasater also believes that quality rest, like the one found in Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose or in Corpse Pose, in which you lie on your back, palms facing up and feet spread apart, are the most important poses for fertility. "We live in a state of low-lying anxiety all the time," Lasater says. "It's so important in our fast-paced society to rest consciously everyday—it reestablishes hormonal balance." The quintessential restorative pose for everywoman is Reclining Butterfly Pose, in which you lie over a bolster with the soles of your feet together.
Nourish fertility with forward bendsForward bends like Baddha Konasana tone and stretch the pelvic floor, improve circulatio...

I laughed when they sat down - - - for bipartisan discussions - - on - - - whatever. It's one of those laughing matters that presents itself as the only alternative to uncontrollable weeping, so it isn't driven by humor at all. Republicans in the House can't get bipartisan support from Democrats in the House; Democrats in the Senate can't depend on support from Republicans, and in fact, there are some Republicans in the Senate who have made bipartisanship a bargaining chip. Republicans in the Senate are demanding full disclosure, including access to operatives who really were there, and who really do know, what really went on in Benghazi, highlighted by the murders of four Americans, including the Ambassador. Back over in the House of Representatives, with a Republican political party majority, but with that traditional Republicanism overlaid with Tea Party folks, can't even develop that kind of bipartisanship.
And yet, in news clips provided by the National Association of Farm Broadcasting and sponsored by the American Farm Bureau Federation, we see the bold declaration that - - and here's a quote - - "Lawmakers from Both Chambers Call for Farm Bill Support for Beginning Farmers:" - - and then the notice goes on to say that a group of bipartisan Representatives and Senators has asked House and Senate farm bill conferees to provide legislation with programs meant to break down the barriers that make it difficult to enter agriculture. Did you catch that reference to the farm bill conferees? This noble notion is expected to be a new part of the new
farm bill. That, in and of itself calls for - demands - more than a fair share of bipartisanship, and yet we are fast approaching still another deadline by which the new farm bill must be approved, and signed by the President. The Republican controlled House proposes a farm bill with monumental cuts in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program - - acronym SNAP - -formerly Food Stamps Program. The Senate version calls for some cuts in SNAP, but not nearly so severe as that proposed by the House. Do you have any idea that Republicans and Democrats, demonstrating bipartisanship, will come to agreement on that? How much bipartisanship do you suppose it will take to shine some daylight on that proposal to adopt new legislation to support SNAP as a stand-alone program, no longer a part of the Agriculture Department budget.
Then there's the debt ceiling deadline just weeks away. You noticed all the bipartisanship at work in the earlier discussions and debates on that one, didn't you.
I started this piece referring to the advisability of laughing, rather than crying - - in spite of all that, I do believe we should anticipate some tears in the fairly near future.

I'm sorry, Lydia. What a wench. Though, it definitely sounds like the neighbors are feeding her all kinds of lies, hence the anger towards you. I really hope the peacemaking meeting works.
Katy, that pot is gorgeous! You are so talented!
I'm sorry, Lydia. What a wench. Though, it definitely sounds like the neighbors are feeding her all kinds of lies, hence the anger towards you. I really hope the peacemaking meeting works.
Katy, that pot is gorgeous! You are so talented!
I hope you have a great baby shower tomorrow Janeen! You deserve it.
Thanks guys, for being so sweet. I feel like all I ever do is get on here and say HEY LOOK AT WHAT I MADE!!! But I haven't been out of the house all day, so you people get it!
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Lydia, my parents (who after moving from the more ghetto neighborhood I grew up in to a really nice new subdivision) had a LOT of neighbor issues. Long story short is it eventually resulted in both sides contacting lawyers and both sides ended up being told to send certified letters.
And yes the police did have to be called more than once and the ones right next to them were spreading lies to other neighbors (one of which after talking to him, the police office just advised my parents to avoid him!).
We will see if the issues start up again soon as it gets warmer and the guy next door likes to aim his water on my parents house, fence and cars.
Eventually Dad went to Sam's Club and got a home camera system with I like 4 cameras outside and it keeps a years worth of video. They were concerned about car damage or especially them throwing stuff over the fence to hurt the dog. This guy was so anal about his grass he puts a ton of chemicals on it and than lets his babies on it right away with bare feet and legs.
The only bad part of the camera system is the TV is in his office and pretty much everyone will watch it in there...I will pull up in front of the house and yup they are watching for me.
It was a lot easier when the neighbors didn't speak English. LOL
I am really keeping my fingers crossed that we get along well with our new ones...so far we only have one and will only have one for a while as the land to the west and behind us isn't developed or sold yet.
I confess that my deadpan humour is always getting me into trouble. I've lost count of how many times I've said something as a joke, and had people think I meant it seriously.
I confess that I am really sad someone who I considered a friend did not invite me to her baby shower. She made a post on FB about thanking everyone who was coming and I just felt like I should have responded to it with a "Have fun. Thanks for not inviting me." Just kinda made me sad. I've been nothing but nice to her, and she invited everyone around me.
Lauren (24) Clinton (30) - my life, my rock Praying for all the APA girls! My Blog
Lauren (24) Clinton (30) - my life, my rock Praying for all the APA girls! My Blog
I confess that I'm pooped from the big day today and refuse to type about it again so here ya go.
I confess I miss my old UU church The minister at the one I go to now just isn't the same. I like it, but I loved the church my parents first took me to when I was a kid. Of course it's harder now for me being an adult and having to stand out on my own and not just be so and so's daughter. I'm just not good at making those first connections and good first impressions.

We are learning more about the past of the man currently in police custody in connection with the murder of 35-year-old Sabrina Gianino.42-year-old Myron Williams is on probation in Michigan for a drug paraphernalia charge. He also has quite a past in Louisiana."Found out about the little jewelry heist and all that other stuff down in Louisiana, but some of that stuff I didn't know [anything] about," said Dale Williams.His uncle has been staying with him at his home on Wayburn in Grosse Pointe Park. Gianino was found strangled with a cord around her neck at her boyfriend's home next door last week."If he did kill that lady, it will change my view and my outlook on him, but if he didn't, let him go," Dale Williams said.Myron Williams arrest record in Louisiana includes breaking and entering, burglary, battery and assault. He was arrested Saturday after someone using Gianino's stolen cell phone apparently led police to him.However, his nephew said police have told him they are also looking for another person in interest."They're looking for him and they [are] still questioning my uncle right now for like three days straight," he explained.Dale Williams said police had to take his uncle's children to school Tuesday so they wouldn't be harassed.Police have questioned Myron William's wife again, but there is still no warrant in the case and he has been held for more than 72 hours.Meantime, at the bar down the street where Gianino's boyfriend works, friends held a fundraiser Tuesday evening to pay for her funeral. Donations are still being accepted at the Platz Animal Hospital where she worked.

Mac mini is the world's most energy-efficient desktop computer. It's also highly recyclable and has a tiny package for efficient shipping. All in all, that's no small thing.
View a PDF of Apple's Environmental Status Report for
Energy Efficiency
Mac mini is still the world's most energy-efficient desktop computer.
Highly efficient, built-in power supply.
The power supply for Mac mini requires only 85W and is up to 89 per cent efficient. Low power consumption reduces energy bills and lessens the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. A built-in power supply means no plastic housing, less weight and less cable clutter. It also allows Mac mini to take up a tiny amount of space and fit into a tiny package.
Advanced power management.
The new Mac mini is a great example of Apple's energy-efficient design philosophy. Even though it offers up to twice the processor performance and up to 65 per cent faster integrated graphics performance compared with the previous generation, it uses less than 11 watts of power when idle.
And unlike a lot of Windows-based PC systems, Mac mini uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power. OS X spins down hard drives and activates sleep mode after a period of inactivity. It balances tasks across both central and graphics processors. OS X never misses a power-saving opportunity, no matter how small. It even regulates the processor between keystrokes, reducing power between the letters you type. That's just one of many ways Apple manages small amounts of power that add up to big savings.
ENERGY STAR qualification.
Mac mini meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR qualification. ENERGY STAR 6.0 sets significantly higher efficiency limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the computer's typical annual power consumption. Mac mini doesn't just meet the ENERGY STAR requirements, it meets them with an 87 per cent margin.
Eliminating Toxic Substances
It's what Mac mini doesn't have that makes it more environmentally friendly. It's free of many harmful toxins like BFRs and PVC.
Fewer toxins.
One of the greatest environmental challenges facing the computer industry today is the presence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in products. Apple engineers have worked hard to eliminate BFRs and PVC from Mac mini circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, adhesives and more.1 And they've eliminated many other toxins that are a common part of desktop computer manufacturing.
Minimal Packaging
Apple designs Mac mini packaging to be as small as possible, so more products fit in shipping boxes.
More efficient transportation.
The Mac mini retail packaging and shipping box are also mini. Which is better for the planet and means a smaller carbon footprint. It's one seemingly minor change. But it has a major positive impact on our environment.
Because Mac mini has an aluminium enclosure, it's more likely to be recycled at the end of its long, productive life.
Recyclable materials.
Mac mini uses highly recyclable aluminium to create its incredibly compact enclosure. Just 19.7 by 19.7 by 3.6 centimetres, Mac mini is a fraction of the size of a typical desktop tower. Which makes it one of the most material-efficient desktop computers available.

If your doctor or pharmacist tells you that we will not cover a prescription drug, you, as a Blue Cross Medicare AdvantageSM member, should contact us and ask for a coverage determination. Contact a Product Specialist to obtain information on how to file a grievance, appeal or exception with the plan sponsor.
Things to know about requesting an exception:
Learn more about coverage determination
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has a model Medicare prescription drug coverage determination form developed specifically for use by all Blue Cross Medicare Advantage prescribing doctors and enrollees.
Request for Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Determination Form
en Español
The formulary exception process is used to request coverage for a medication that's not on the drug formulary. All approvals for non-formulary medications will require a Tier 4 copay for brand name drugs or a Tier 2 copay for generic drugs. You can also request a tier exception for your non-preferred drug to be covered at the preferred drug copay level. In other words, you can request that your non-preferred brand name drug (Tier 4) be covered at the preferred brand name (Tier 3) copay level; or your non-preferred generic drug (Tier 2) be covered at the preferred generic drug (Tier 1) copay level. This applies to five-tier benefit plans only.
A grievance is different from a request for a coverage determination because it usually will not involve coverage or payment for Blue Cross Medicare Advantage prescription drug benefits.

Improved roll-over is the most noticeable attribute when it comes to 29" wheels. The big wheels are great for rolling over nasty roots and rocky sections, essentially making it easier to ride these conditions. Improved traction is also a key factor with the increased wheel diameter compared to 26" wheels as tire contact to the ground is larger.
• Best Roll-Over Performance
• Carries Momentum
• Maximum Traction surface
• Best stability on easy trails
• Lowest suspension stress
• Great for larger frame sizes
• Increase stability on long curve

To Wednesday!! Like, tomorrow...EEK! Finally! Problem is, it's at 6am! And it's an hour south and with us going through snow squalls and accumulation up to 8inches right through where we have to go, I don't know if I will make it to work by 8am. I told my boss I would be a little late but only mentioned about 30mins and I am worried it will be more than that... Other problem... DH comes home from work at 1am, he works 2hrs south and then has to be up at 4am to drive me to the appointment. Gah! I just want this over. Like DH said, it's easier to ask for forgiveness for being late than to ask for another favor. We are also thinking of filling out paperwork for the FLMA to help cover us, not sure how much it will help but it's something.
Also, he thought maybe I just call in sick tomorrow but I already told them about the appointment so they would know that I had that appointment and know I'm lying. Then again he says to tell them on Thursday that the news was bad and I was too upset...IDK that feels wrong but maybe it would help?

Wendy Rodriquez was on her way to work in Harlem at 3:51 a.m. Wednesday when suddenly her phone made a very loud noise.
She got the Amber Alert that 7-month-old Mario Danner Jr. had been allegedly kidnapped by his apparently bipolar mother Marina Lopez after their supervised visit at an ACS building on 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. Wendy was one block away.
Danner, Jr. was found safely. Police got a tip a tip after the Amber Alert.
It is believed that millions of New Yorkers received the Amber Alert on their mobile phones after the NYPD asked State Police to initiate a Wireless Emergency Alert through FEMA, to the FCC, and the cell phone companies.
The phone companies voluntarily issue the alerts through cell phone towers. Phones purchased in the last year are automatically set to receive four kinds of alerts: Presidential, Extreme, Severe and Amber. You can opt out of three of them but many people don't know how. The phones will not allow you to opt out of the Presidential alerts.
The Fox 5 Facebook page was flooded with angry comments from people upset about being awoken with the alert. Several wanted to know why it was sent six hours after the Amber Alert was issued. Others wanted to know why it was sent when most people were sleeping and would not be in a position to do anything about the situation.
Robert Hoever of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children admits there are concerns about the use of the system.
"We don't want to over-saturate the public. We don't want to desensitize the public," Hoever says. "That's why there is restrictive criteria."
Older phones often cannot receive the free geographically specific alerts.

Smith County dispatchers have confirmed a mobile home fire has been contained.
Dispatchers tell KLTV 7 firefighters will continue to monitor the site this morning, until all signs of the fire are extinguished, to prevent flames from spreading.
We're told the home has been heavily damaged, but dispatchers could not confirm if the home was a complete loss at this time.
Multiple fire departments are currently on scene of a fully-involved mobile home fire in Flint.
Smith County dispatchers said the fire began around 11:00 p.m. Thursday, in the 17000 block of Hillside Drive.
Right now, firefighters are working to contain the fire, which is threatening other structures nearby.
No injuries have been reported at this time. Officials said no one was home when the fire began.

Dark Void: The Shacknews ReviewDark Void builds around the basic idea that if an action hero is cool, an action hero wearing a jet pack is even cooler. William Grey, the game's hero, boost jumps, hovers, and flies around the skies in addition to the standard ground-based exploration and combat. To take advantage of the flight element, Dark Void introduces what the developers call a vertical cover system. As the name implies it rotates the usual crouch behind cover and peek out to shoot mechanic to a vertical axis. Dark Void wraps this action up in a retro alternate history mid-20th century "world of tomorrow" atmosphere with the twist of stumbling onto an alien conspiracy in the legendary Bermuda Triangle.
The pitch sounds clever enough. It's pulling together the pieces, or for that matter even a piece, that proves to be too much for Dark Void. But all of the smaller issues away fall like dominoes compared to the central problem with the game's signature jet pack. It's not the liberating, fun-to-play blast around the sky it needed to be to hang the rest of the game on. Awkward controls, an uncomfortable default flight speed, and lack of visual reference cues make it a disorienting experience at best. More often it becomes a frustrating fight just to flail around the sky without bouncing off too many things.
Maybe the designers recognized this and decided the answer was to bring in more of the familiar peek-a-boo ground combat. Whatever the reason, for a guy with a jet pack, Grey spends too much time trudging around shooting generic looking shiny robot enemies. If the story had clicked that might have been at least a little more meaningful, but it too falls on its face. A rough idea of what's going on does develop but it's in spite of, rather than due to, the disjointed and unexplained events. Only the most dedicated jet pack fans need bother with Dark Void and even then go in with the understanding that the joys of darting about the sky are few and far between. For everyone else Dark Void is a skip it.
Developed by Airtight Games and published by Capcom, Dark Void released today on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A downloadable demo can be found on PlayStation Network (PlayStation 3), Xbox Live Marketplace (Xbox 360), and FileShack (PC).

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly says he is going to hire an independent auditor to figure out what happened with overpayments of health benefits.
A check of the books found the system had overpaid for health insurance premiums and pension contributions by $33 million over the last two years.
Reilly is quoted as saying he is embarrassed by the findings by the Legislative Audit Bureau.
The $17.5 million overpayment for contributions to the Wisconsin Retirement System has been recovered.
To this point, only $2.4 million of the 15-point-4 million dollars in overpayments on workers' health insurance premiums have come back to the system

Tutoring reviews in Shawano
She was always on time and pleasant. The tutor was very nice and tried very hard. While she did have to look things up occasionally, she was somewhat helpful. We were grateful to have a tutor at all as it is super difficult to find Organic Chem tutors.
My daughter was having difficulty with several subjects last year, so based on the good reviews we saw for school. I would recommend them highly! m
They have a good selection of tutors, each with their own hourly rate. The one we picked was good and responsible. The web site is easy to use with a lot of "extras." Some cost, some don't. Seems like a great resource.
Regular written feedback immediately after each class which is clear. Very clear directions for how it will work and no fuss payment arrangements.
Through Wzyant I was able to find a perfect tutor for my high school son. He needed help in Physics and did not feel there was anyone who could answer his questions in depth. By using cost. I could find the credentials that seemed to match our needs, and by the reviews and presence of background check, be reasonably satisfied of safety and quality. There is even a right fit guarantee that if after the first session it does not seem like a match, you do not have to pay for that session. We were able to make a connection with a PHD physics student that was very suitable for my son.. Payment set up is easy, I used paypal. And communication is secure. I had no connections in place to find such a skilled and knowledgeable tutor, and it was a very quick and easy procedure. There are tutors for every age and situation and the prices vary according to each tutor. I have been extremely satisfied with this company and the results of the

The tutor we chose was great, she made our daughter feel very relaxed and was non judgmental. She relieved a great deal of tension and anxiety my daughter was experiencing. She went over the sections she was covering on a weekly basis and step by step had her work through problems until she was comfortable doing them

YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) - The National Transportation Safety Board says a train that derailed in New York City was traveling 82 mph as it approached 30 mph zone. The Metro-North Railroad commuter train jumped the tracks Sunday morning along a sharp curve where the speed limit drops from 70 mph to 30 mph. Four passengers died. National Transportation Safety Board investigators on Monday mined the train's data recorders, shedding light on such things as the train's speed and the use of its brakes. It says it's not aware of any problem with the train's brakes. The investigators have also sought to question the engineer and conductor for clues. The rail employees union says engineer William Rockefeller was injured in the wreck and is cooperating with investigators.
NEW YORK (AP) - A member of the National Transportation Safety Board says investigators plan to conduct interviews Monday or Tuesday with the engineer and conductor of the train involved in a fatal derailment in New York City. The crash Sunday killed four people and injured more than 60 others. The NTSB's Earl Weener said Monday at the crash site that a second data recorder was found in the train's front car and has been sent to Washington for analysis. Weener said investigators are looking for information on the speed of the train, how the brakes were applied and the throttle setting. The other recorder was found earlier in the rear locomotive. Weener says they've already had some success in retrieving data. But the information has to be validated before it's made public.

Monday the court accepted Tucker Cipriano's plea of no contest to felony murder, a guaranteed minimum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.Bob Cipriano was beaten to death with a baseball bat, allegedly at the hands of his son, Tucker, and Tucker's friend Mitchell Young. The two men, both just 21, were allegedly high on K2 when police say they murdered Bob and nearly killed Tucker's mother, Rose, and brother, Sal, last April. Eight-year-old sister, Isabella, and Sal's twin brother, Tanner, hid during the attack. "This is not a plea deal at all. There's no bargain," said Fox 2 Legal Analyst Charlie Langton. "The difference here is that Tucker Cipriano said, you know what, I'm going to plead essentially guilty as charged, no deals, no lesser offenses, nothing."The prosecuting attorney read statements from the family in court detailing that brutal night one more time. After the statements were read, most of the Cipriano family was in tears. Tucker Cipriano was also seen wiping his face on his shirt, but he never once looked back at his family."I think Tucker must have said, you know what, I have caused my family enough problems. This is it. I'm done. I'm going to take my lumps, and if it means life in prison, it means life in prison, and it will," Langton said.Tucker Cipriano will be sentenced on July 9, but we could see him before that date if he is asked to testify in Mitchell Young's trial slated to start later this month.

Temping fail. I never heard my alarm going off this morning. DH says he heard it but it was really quiet and didn't bother to poke me or anything. This early in the cycle I guess it doesn't matter but I had better start waking up to my alarm!
I kinda envy you Rach. I'm such a light sleeper, I have my phone alarm set to vibrate and it wakes me up--no sound at all!
Aww thanks! I have a whole bunch of jewelry I'll be adding in May, just waiting to get the photos made.
I'm just going to leave my chart alone. No matter how I tweak it, our "conception chances" are only good instead of high... unless I leave the unsuccessful BD in, then it's high... but that's because it doesn't know it's unsuccessful. I'm hoping my temp continues to rise! We'll see I spose. Like I said before, if this cycle isn't it I'm temping at 4am next cycle instead of 6-630.
What 5dpo means to me....
License to imagine every twinge might be implantation
Scroll through ff pregnancy charts
Wonder what that little backache might be from
Lol! I actually had a really good talk with a friend yesterday about realizing how little control we have over life. And how we try to hang onto it. Anyways, feeling pretty chipper over here!
Natalie- I enjoyed the shameless link to your etsy shop as well!
Rach- glad you are back in the game, besides the temp fail :-)
Kelly- thanks! And yay for those ff pregnancy points. Lol!! Hope that baby gets nice and cozy!!
GL with your
Rachel...ack!! I'm actually a really heavy sleeper but my youngest is a very effective alarm several times throughout the night !
Natalie...I agree, your clips are beautiful!! I can't wait to see the new pics in May!
Kay...lol, I would have taken "good"...my chances were "low" but evidently sufficient . your temps keep going up!! !!!
EBennet...hang in there ! I hope the next few days speed by...the wait sure stinks but it will be totally worth it this cycle !!
Cindy...my OPKs do that too. I've never gotten a sustained +...it's only positive around 11am and 7pm. I'm assuming it has something to do with diluted urine or needing time to build up...not sure.
Jessie...(((HUGS))) for your friend ...I'm so sorry she's facing an ectopic and surgery, really praying they're able to leave her tube intact.
I'm starting to wonder if my spotting is af trying to show up...having af-type cramps that come and go (started last night). I had a 10 day LP in January and af came while I was still on progesterone so I don't think it's necessarily too early. I'm going to assume it still has something to do with implantation. My plan of attack is looooots of water and R&R . I've been feeling nauseous most of the day so that's encouraging. I've never had implantation bleeding or bleeding of any kind this early so this is new for me. Please, bear with my over-analyzing !
Kelly -- super sticky vibes for you! That test was a BFP for sure. Hang on to that image mentally and just send healthy energy to your bean.
I'm...starting to get really antsy. Like I just want to go to bed so I can wake up and temp. I just want to know now! It doesn't help that my work today is just...being a pain and I can't figure it out. I don't want to be stuck behind my desk, but I don't know what else I would do either LOL. I'm nervous!
Wow ladies there has been so much traffic today! I tried to go through all the posts but it is so much and then I ended up in yesterday's posts! That's what I get for reding them backwards lol
Babypayne- I have had that happen to me before- sometimes your LH goes up and then you don't o for some reason, and then it goes up and you O (or don't, which has happened to me a few times, so I stopped using OPKs, and just temp now). But I hope you do O for real today! GL!!
As for me- I woke up from nightmares about a zombie apocalypse at 4am so I didnt temp because I didnt want to stress over an unreliable temp. And it looks like my trigger is nearly out of my system. Maybe I will start testing at the end of this week But I am going to try to hold out until monday!
I just tried to take pics of them and once they are all dried, they look exactly the same. Two days worth are all pos. Okie-dokie then.
So now the question is, do I take the Ovidrel shot six days after yesterday or today? (I'm supposed to take the shot 6 days after LH surge)
Cindy...I've read to stop testing after the first +opk since that's the only one that matters so I would start in 5 days .
Natalie...(((hugs))) I hear you! I was so ready to be done with the 2ww!! I couldn't wait for bedtime so I could wake up and temp/test !!
Liza...eeek, so close!!! Really praying we both get to stick around the Dec dd room for the next 8-9months !
I am so nauseous tonight I feel like throwing up but I'm still spotting/cramping like af and something new...clots ! I'm still only spotting so I can't imagine they're af clots and I would think I'm way too early into a pg to even pass clots (they're pea-sized, sorry if tmi). This is a new one for me ! I'm emailing my midwife to see if she'll fax a lab order for beta and progesterone to my lab. Still hoping for the best .
babypayne - mine do that too. i can only get a pos with SMU after not drinking anything and holding it for 3 hours... and then around 8-10 pm under the same circumstances. it's silly, but i think it has to do with dillution and if you pee too many times close together the hormone doesn't have time to build in your urine. 1 positive is better than none, so get busy !!!!!!!
Kelly - I wish I had any experience so i could offer you some support. i don't know if these things are normal or not, but I would assume if you're not bleeding heavily or in any pain you should still be ok! I'm sending you tons of I hope you hear back from your midwife soon! KUP! I'm still so happy for you, how on earth are you going to be able to wait until friday to tell your DH?!
Natalie - I feel the same way! I just want to go to bed so I can wake up and temp. I think that's part of what makes me not able to sleep well at night either. It's ridiculous, but i just want to make sure my temp is going up. That drop yesterday makes me soooo nervous, but we'll see I guess. As for your chart though... amazing. I keep looking at it with excitement, happiness, and maybe even a tiny bit of jealousy! LOL I can't wait for you to test!
Kelly---ooh I'm going to pray for good numbers for you! So exciting!
Kay -- Same for you with that temp!
I think if my "normal time" temp is up tomorrow, I will test. Eek!
Does anyone know how long the trigger stays in your system? I had some very mild cramping last night but today I am so tired. I slept a normal amount last night and I just took a two-hour nap and am still completely exhausted. I'm wondering if it is from the HCG trigger? I would think that it's too early for me to be actually preggo...
Jen--your chart is looking good! I think it's totally reasonable to feel fatigue. Unfortunately either explanation is just as likely. I have no idea how long the trigger stays around.
Ahhh so much to respond to! Can I just say all you ladies keep me sane and I think of you all often and pray we all get to DD rooms soon!!!
Kelly - yay for betas! Will be stalking for results... I'm off tomorrow so plenty of stalking time!!
As for me I am not preventing this cycle. Just gonna do the same things we've been doing and see what happens!
Well......my DH's surgery is scheduled for April 26th.....so that is my next count down.....will start a new thread when there is more to update.........
Jen...LOL, you can add me graduate me in the April Testers thread ...I'll post there when I get my beta today but you can add me whenever you get the chance...woot!!!!
I'm not sure about the trigger...I'd ask over at stc to see what the ladies there have to say. I don't think it's too early to be having symptoms though... it's because you're pg !!!!!
Natalie...stalked your chart this morning (((hugs)))...still early and looking forward to seeing a bfp from you in a few days !!!
Jessie...oooh, really hoping this cycle will be it for you now that the metformin has had some time to do its thing !!!
My test this morning (just a wondfo) http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/...ncy-test117079...it's darker than yesterday's so I'm feeling encouraged. My spotting has turned into a light flow overnight but the cramps stopped and I'm still feeling nauseous today . I can't wait to see my betas...not expecting a high number since my pg test is still light but I'll be happy with anything over 5 !

Amarillo, Texas - A deadly mold could be in your dog's food and this past years drought could be to blame.
Aflatoxin is a mold that can grow on corn and other grains, many of which are ingredients in dog food.
Because of the drought, many crops in the Midwest saw dangerous levels of this. A local plant pathologist we spoke with says the warm dry conditions of the drought caused the mold to thrive.
Hy-Vee brand dog food has already been recalled causing makers to take a closer look at the corn they use. High levels of this mold can be very dangerous to pets who consume it.
"You'll see liver failure in an animal, especially dogs and cats. What I see, they'll come in, vomiting, diarrhea, gums turning yellow, whites of the eyes turning yellow, the skin. The aflatoxin itself hammers on the liver and in a high dose can actually kill liver cells," Merten Pearson, DVM Noah's Ark Pet Hospital says.
Dr. Pearson says no cases have been reported in our area. Companies nationwide are reporting that they are aggressively testing for Aflatoxin. Pearson says large name brands such as Iams and Purina are going to be safer.
To check your dog's food for recalls, you can go to www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-recalls/

Comments On May 05, 2014:If you plow, get this! Better to replace nylon than a whole steel winch line. Only takes 15 min to swap.

Comments On Mar 19, 2013:I used this for a 72" plow blade this past winter. No problems or separation, and the synthetic material seems to be holding up very well. The price is far less than that of the Warn rope, but it is better quality than the synthetic rope that came with my Warn winch.

Comments On Dec 23, 2012:I like that it is so easy to swap out my normal winch line for this thicker rope for plowing. After a few uses, it seems like it is starting to fray a little bit where it goes over the roller repeatedly but not enough that I'm worried it will break. Worst case scenario, I'll toss it after the plow season and buy another for next winter. $15 a year to save my $50+ normal winch line from this abuse is an acceptable cost to me but we'll see how how it wears as time goes on.
Additional Comments On Jan 11, 2013:I originally rated this 5 stars but after the rope breaking today I'll drop it to 2 stars. I havent plowed with it that much and when I winch up, I make sure not to winch it up all the way to put unnecessary strain on it. It broke right where it goes over the rollers. I tied the broken end to the plow and kept on plowing and that also broke where it goes over the rollers. Had to tie the broken end to the plow two more times. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to buy another Tusk rope to see if it was just a bad rope or try one of the more expensive brand of ropes.

Comments On Nov 08, 2012:A little too short for my taste, but it does work! I hope it stands up to the weather and plow weight.
Shipped fast and had a good price from RMAtv.

Comments On Oct 26, 2011:I got an early start plowing this year since I had to use my snow plow to move gravel around. I have used other plow ropes that cost way to much. this rope is priced reasonable and works great. It is very strong and has taked a lot of abuse and still looks great!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Seattlerunner Conducts heat from the skin??? This is a sporty, good quality, wicking, running shirt with a nice fit and great colors to choose from. If you are looking for some great new technology to help keep you cool, keep looking. 12 miles today and I do not feel refreshed nor ventilated. But then again I wasn't expecting a miracle from a new shirt. My review is mixed, great shirt, but does not perform as advertised as far as conducting heat from the skin. May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Andie11 It works I was skeptical about the "cooling effect" of the Al-dots, but willing to try it for a short 3 mile run. Being a Floridian, it is difficult to stay cool while on runs. I went out for a late evening/nighttime run when it was about 85 degrees. The dots kept my shoulders cool for the whole run and continued their effect while I wore it around the house before a shower. The sizing is fitted, so it is tight to the body. Which I like, but it did tend to ride up on the bottom. The riding up was a not a problem because it is long in the body. This is a good shirt. July 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Black Pearl Climachill Tee I enjoy wearing the CLIMACHILL Tee It cools me off from a very intense and sweaty work out. I would like to purchase more, one for each day. This is a great garment let me know when you have sales on these. April 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by latterun Climachill Ran 17 miles with the Climachill shirt. I liked the way it felt on my back. I may order another great color to help keep me cool on those summer races. June 30, 2014

When the snow is melting, you're waiting for a bus (or walking down the sidewalk) and the snow plow comes by. If you're lucky you have time to run behind the bush shelter, if not... blammo!!!! Head to toe drenched with chunks of ice and freezing cold water.
Man I hate this time of year, waiting for a bus means you totally run the risk of being snow plowed!!!

AWESOME! Hands down THE best dress I have ever purchased. I originally purchased this dress to wear as the Maid of Honor at my best friends wedding. I literally had this dress on for 8 hours! I was able to dance, move, and had no fears of any malfunctions! Very classy, stylish, versatile, and most importantly, COMFORTABLE. I have worn this dress twice since then and could not be happier! July 23, 2014
Great Purchase! Great service!!!! The girls are wonderful help when you have no clue on what to wear. The dresses are beautiful! Hard to choose from so many, but you can try on as many as you want and you can't help but feel gorgeous! I will definitely buy again from this store! The dress I picked was amazing! I got so many great compliments on it! I am petite and I wore size 8. Perfect! I decided not to wear the black scarf that came with it, but a silver matching my shoes and my Jewelry. I felt beautiful! November 16, 2013
Best Dress EVER ! This dress was AMAZING ! It was for my daughters wedding and I wanted to look great but not too much and take over my beautiful daughters day. The dress fit perfectly, looked great and was comfortable. I tried one on in the store but bought it online. It arrived promptly and in great condition. I got so many compliments on how wonderful I looked it and plan on keeping it around to wear for another special occassion one day. I highly recommend this dress. October 16, 2013
FANTASTIC DRESS! Loved this dress! Wore it last weekend for a wedding in the plum color. It is a great dress. The draping hides a bit of a tummy and creates more of a waist. It's cool and comfy and the back of it is SO pretty. Received many compliments on how nice it looked and how flattering it was, and several people commented how neat it was the back was lovely since, while standing at the altar with the bride/groom, that is what the congregation saw. I felt fabulous in it! I am thinking of having it shortened to knee-length to wear for another wedding I will be attending as a guest. This dress is an A+! July 23, 2013

ABC's Quilt
Let me start by saying that I never intended to do quilt tutorials on this fabulous Moda blog that I feel very lucky to be a part of. You get plenty of quilt ideas and patterns and instructions elsewhere (and here, too) from quilters more capable than me. But I have a few TIPS and IDEAS that I wanted to share, so follow along, make a quilt, and maybe add something new to your quilt making idea file.
From the Basic Grey Sultry line:
One honey bun
One charm pack
1 yard Fandango Grunge
1 yard Fandango Elite
1 yard Citron Swell
1 yard Friar Swell
1 yard Citron Classy
From the Citron Classy cut 25 six inch blocks. These are what you will set your letters on.
From the Fandango Elite cut 18 1.5" strips in the 45" selvage to selvage direction (commonly known as wof for width of fabric)..
From the Friar Swell cut 12 1.5" strips in the 45" wof.
From the Citron Swell cut nine 8-inch blocks. Cut these in half on the diagonal for 18 triangles.
Cut your ABC set. There are many ways to do this. You may already have your own method of choice. You may use the method I described here on the Happy Birthday banner I posted a few months ago. You could even make things a whole lot easier and just buy a set here.
TIP: I drew a 6" square (the size of my block) on a piece of paper, and then drew intersecting lines through it as shown. This gives you a dead center visual on the block so you aren't left solely dependent on *eyeballing* the center placement for each letter. When you've got a lock on the placement, just lift a corner of the block, gently slide out the paper, and then press your letter down (assuming you've backed it with iron-on fabric adhesive). Of course, this wouldn't work so well if using a dark fabric. The TIP for getting all 26 letters in a square is to put two letters on one block. For these on point blocks the I and J fit well together. On regular set blocks I typically put the Y and Z together.
Once all your letters are pressed on the blocks, stitch them down according to your preference. I just LOVE a good blanket stitch, so that's what I always use now. But for years of course I used a tight zigzag. You can use coordinating or contrasting thread. Depends on the look you're going for.
Next attach the Fandango Elite (pink print) strips on all four sides of each block. Using a clear square quilter's rule, square up the ABC blocks to 7.5" (I'll show pics of these two steps on the next block).
Now assemble the 16 pieced "in-between" blocks. Pick 16 five inch squares from the charm pack. Pick random strips from the honey bun and sew to charms as follows
Sew one honey bun strip down one side of a charm square. Trim off flush to edge of square. Fold right side over and then sew a different honey bun strip down the next side. Trim off excess.
Sew the Friar Swell (dark brown) strips around all four edges
Then square it up to 7.5 inches with the help of a square quilter's ruler
If you do the math, or if you just have a really good eye, you'll see that the blocks and their borders aren't identical in size to each other, even tho they are (most importantly) the same 7.5 inches around. I ended up having to cut the 25 letter blocks six inches (before borders) to accommodate the letters I have. The 16 in-between blocks are only 5.5 inches before adding the border, but in the end it all trims out and I think it just adds one more level of interest by being slightly different.
Moving on...
This may be a TIP someone hasn't considered. I wrap a pair of sliding closet doors in inexpensive white fleece. Flannel would work too. This works as my design space. Much cleaner and easier to visualize on than the floor I used for years! I stapled mine on permanently as it's in my own dedicated space but you could make a temporary installation with the use of velcro.
I put all the blocks up on the wall and just take them down one row at a time to sew together. Then just sew each row one to the other. You'll see that two of the green 8 inch triangles were cut in half again, for the four corners.
Now, using an 18 or 24 inch long quilter's ruler, trim the edges down to 1/4 inch from points as shown above. Edge the entire quilt in a one inch border of the dark brown (Friar Swell) after 1/4" seams it will be half an inch). Then edge the entire quilt in a 3.5 inch border of the green (Citron Swell).
(Oh look! It's back on the floor. Old habits...) It looks pretty good as is, right? Well, I have an IDEA that will take it up a notch in an easy and whimsical way. Scallops!
Measure the inner (dark brown) border. This one is just about 50 inches so I thought I'd make it easy on myself and draw ten 5" half circles on each edge. The math was the easy part. Finding a five inch circle (at my house) was the hard part. I finally found a single serving cake pan that worked well. :-)
Try not to approach this part with precision (using a cake pan helps!). An imperfect "sketchy" look really works best. Once you've traced the half circles all the way around, you take it to the sewing machine and sew in a contrasting thread. TIP: use a quilting or darning foot with the feed dogs DOWN. It'll go way faster. Here's what one go around looks like
eh..nothin' to write home about. Here's how it looks after sewing three times around
Getting better! Three is actually about all I do on smaller quilts, but these scallops are rather large so I sewed five times around.
You can see that I make a point to sew each line close to each other, but not exactly right on top of each other. Then take your favorite sharp tipped scissors and trim very close to the outermost stitching. Then I wash and dry it to fluff up the raw edge and trim off the resultant loose threads.
Here is a good close-up of the fabrics used and the finished edge.
One final IDEA I want to share is a way to incorporate your label with a hanging sleeve. Just last year I finally realized the importance of labeling one's quilts, so now I label just about everything I make. On this quilt I figured out the font size I needed for the width of the quilt and printed out the title on iron-on t-shirt transfer paper (buy at any office supply store). I put my name, town and year in a much smaller font at the end of the title.
Wow! You can tell by the glimpse that the back is pretty busy, huh? I threw every leftover bit I had in with two additional yards of brown fabric and worked at piecing it all for a couple of days! Of course it's terribly busy and took a lot of time, but now that I've done it I won't wonder "what if?" anymore. I cropped this tight so you can just look at the labeled hanging sleeve. :-) OH. One more way I've done it in the past is to again figure out what size font is appropriate and then print the text on printer fabric. I then pieced the 11 inch (size of paper) runs of text together and appliqued this onto a larger fabric sleeve.
One 55" square ABC quilt.
I hope I've inspired you to make your own ABC quilt, and given you an idea or two that maybe you hadn't thought of before. I think every home with children ought to have at least one of these! It would be a super gift to make, too. I've created a gallery of ABC quilt ideas on my blog, and still have many ideas I'll be adding as they get made. Have fun with your creativity!

But where do you find your alphabets to make? I've looked for patterns and can't find any anywhere. I had someone tell me to just print them out on my computer but it doesn't go large enough or leave room to cut fabric for the letter. (Hope that made sense). Any information you can give me would be appreciated. You can leave me a comment at http://justanotherdayinparadisesewing.blogspot.com/ which is my public blog. Thanks. Cindy

That is so cute. I love letters and numbers. I want to have individual letters all over my next house so people have to look for each letter of the alphabet.
And I just want you to know that some of our closest friends are from Louisville so we KNOW the proper way to pronounce Louisville--heehee and my Dad grew up in Paducah.
I hope you will become a follower and come by often.

Love the quilt, and your tutorial is so clear! That sketchy scallop edge is so cool, as is your label. I never would have thought of doing a label like that.

We did eggs today. I bought a Paas kit that went well and I put some oil in a couple of the colors. That effect came out nice on a couple of them.
Then we swirled food coloring into shaving cream and rolled eggs around in it. We have to wait until tomorrow to wipe them off and see how they turned out.
We got a last minute call last week from my aunt, inviting us up for Easter. Her son and his girlfriend are coming home for a visit and he told my aunt he wanted the whole family there for Easter. I'm thinking they got engaged. That would be awesome--she seems really nice.

Well, last week took me to 3-1 in the league that I almost won the championship in last season. In the league where there's nothing but smack talk, guess who's 0-4? It's like my worst nightmare come true. I did everything right EXCEPT start Donnie Avery over Alshon Jeffery. You think that's the best move considering that Jay Cutler hasn't hooked up with Jeffery all season and then he explodes for 107 yds and a touchdown. Le sigh.
Thanks to that, guess who got #1 priority in the waivers this week? If you're like me and struggling for a win, or need to replace someone for a bye, then you should probably be looking to pick up these guys:
1. Kenbrell Thompkins, WR Patriots
I really like this kid, especially with Danny Amendola and Rob Gronkowski still hurt. If they don't make a comeback this week, get Thompkins. He seems to be Tom Brady's favorite target in their absence.
2. Danny Woodhead, RB Chargers
Just when we thought Woodhead was done he scores two touchdowns on the same Cowboys linebacker and has a big fantasy day. If he's still on your waivers go get him as he'll be more involved in the passing game than the running game.
3. Lamar Miller, RB Dolphins
Miller had a touchdown in Monday's blowout loss to the Saints and was involved in the passing game a little bit as well. With the Dolphins down all game, and them using a committee backfield, it's hard for Miller to get more carries but it looks like he'll be the back during red zone attempts.
4. Tyler Eifert, TE Bengals
He's pretty much taken the majority of work from Jermaine Gresham and he's had some big games so far this season as a rookie. The Bengals didn't do much of anything against the Browns but before that he had some decent outings. If you're hurting at TE or just need a flex, he might be worth a shot.
Well, here's to hoping your team doesn't wind up like mine in the trash talk league. Hooray! I'll be back Thursday with another week of "Start 'Em/Sit 'Em".
