Baby Sleep Positions
How To Be A Dad
Is your baby just an angel in bed? Or more like a snow angel? Anyone who has ever ended up with their baby in bed with them can probably appreciate these painfully funny depictions of various baby sleeping positions.
It's not a one-size-fits-all sort of situation, to be sure, but I can say that I have personally experienced "The Roundhouse Kick" and "The Stalker" on numerous occasions. What about you?

Too cute, and how true!
Mine sleep so nicely. He'll snuggle up with his head under my arm. Or lay his hand across my tummy. I must have the only kid who cosleeps well. (:
The pictures make me cringe because of the possibility of suffocation. American Academy of Peds doesn't recommend cosleeping with infants under 2 years.
this also applies to toddlers and older kids. We play musical beds every night.
Oh, man. We have experienced all of these. Only funny now when I'm not trying to get some sleep!
I don't understand how anyone gets any sleep in these arrangements. We've never invited our toddler into our bed and I never could -- he's so squirmy and it would drive me nuts within seconds. I much prefer him sleeping soundly in his own crib.
The baby is never a problem. But my husband is. Much easier to co-sleep with one adult. Never an issue with space.
MJL86 Thank you for your comment as a RN in a NICU any talk of infants sleeping with their parents fills me with dred. For anyone that is interested in more information on safe infant sleep and preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome here is PDF from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
I slept with my 3 children and nothing ever happened.
My babies (now 9 & 5) have slept in their own cribs, in their own rooms from day one.
Having said that, on the rare occasions when we've had to deal with bad dreams/feeling poorly/thunder & lightening or just a restless night, then yes, they get tucked in with me & SO. Sometimes both at once, deep joy.
In which case, 'Snow Angels' is on the money.
Does everyone who commented not realize it's a joke?
Anyway, they should make one of these for sleeping with dogs. 50% of the time my dogs butt ends up in my face/on my pillow, the rest of the time he just tries to kick and push me out gradually throughout the night. He's definitely the snow angel.
I knew the fear-based comments would come and the Voice of Medical Authority is just a bonus. Yeah, let's listen to the doctors and have our babies in brightly lit sterile rooms, while we are under the influence of drugs that prevent us from fully bonding with our newborn, then have them swept away to a hospital nursery til we take them home and lay them in a crib in another room til it's time to bottle feed them. Is that safe enough for you, nurse lady?
Don't fret, I do something far, FAR worse than co-sleeping: I defrost meat ... Overnight! On the COUNTER! *gasps of horror*
The association between bedsharing with a nonsmoking, sober mother and SIDS is actually very weak and in many studies nonexistent.
This cracks me up and is so true! My son covers them all I think, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Ha ha ha my boy is not a baby more but he still has many positions to sleep and to watch tv
There are some nice research summaries about co-sleeping and other sleep arrangements on the web site of the Mother Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Norte Dame University.
As a ER RN, I can safely say that I co-sleep with my 16 month old and find it satisfyingly dangerous.
I have these super fond memories of sleeping/passing out with my wee tiny infant and how he snuggled so sweetly next to me. Then I try to recreate that with the squirmy toddler. Toddler's newest favorite thing is to sleep *on* me because his new favorite book is The Napping House. So we return him to his crib and I remember why we don't do snuggle all in one bed any longer.
Yes, the pictures are a bit funny, and a bit not.
Co-sleeping is definitely an individual family choice. With that being said, my DH and I nixed co-sleeping when our son was 7 days old and we both woke up in the middle of the night from our lack-of-sleep-induced comas to our our arms draped across his tiny swaddled body and him gasping for air. He immediately went into his own crib and stayed there every night thereafter.
We don't smoke, we don't drink, and he was a summer baby so we didn't use blankets (just a lightweight swaddle). We were just bone-exhausted sleep-deprived parents who didn't want to smother our little one. And, to those who are concerned that co-sleeping is the best way to support breastfeeding, I dragged myself out of bed multiple times a night to BF and continued to BF until he was 2 years old.
In my city (Toledo, OH), there was a recent death of a baby due to co-sleeping with her parents. If this is to be humorous, the point is lost when it's such a dangerous occurrence.
@Baby Yaga : I, too, used to think the constant nagging about the dangers of co-sleeping from "nurse ladies" was annoying. Then, a couple I care very much about lost their baby to SIDs. Now I don't find "nurse ladies" like @mstrygrl so annoying anymore.
jesus christ. sorry apartment therapy. now you guys are the assholes for posting a funny picture.
no one here is going to change the opinion of anyone else here. you're all just getting off on your horror stories and medical knowledge.
The artist Christoph Niemann has some awesome drawings based on this subject...
My oldest, now in her own bed at 3, would not/could not sleep alone. She needed someone (me) close to her. She literally would not be laid down in a bed/crib without me next to her from day one. The nurses in the hospital supported our cosleeping as well. I'm glad/proud that I gave her what she needed. There is good research to support co-sleeping with a sober/nonsmoking/breastfeeding mother.
@ REVEMAUVE - that is the wrong attitude to have
And for everyone who doesn't like the commentors with the more serious responses - it would be the same thing if a something about drunk driving or mishandling guns was posted. Lots of people have done those activities "safely" but it does result in death on many occasions. If you have had an experience in one of these "touchy subjects" you wouldn't be happy to see a post like this either. Please be compassionate to those of us who have experienced SIDS and who are trying to make a difference.
Miller8786 - conscientious bedsharing is not like drunk driving or mishandling guns because while folks may get away with drunk driving or mishandling guns without incident there is no positive goal that can be obtained through those behaviors. Many families make a conscious choice to bedshare with their small ones because it improves their parenting experience whether for reasons of bonding, better sleep, etc.
Of course it is horrible when bad things happen to little babies and doubly so when it seems like the bad thing could have been prevented, but we all take risks every day because we believe that the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
I believe one of the hardest things new parents do is try to figure out this balance. Simply condemning all bedsharing because bad things sometimes happen does not help parents find this balance, it unnecessarily demonizes a segment of parents who are making good choices for their families, it does not educate those who are considering bedsharind because of it potential benefits about the ways to minimize risks and, perhaps worst of all, to me, it feeds into the misconception that if parents (usually mothers) would only make all the right decisions nothing bad will happen to their kids.
Did someone just compare co-sleeping with drunk driving and mishandling a gun? Are you serious? I cannot imagine the tragedy of losing a precious baby to SIDS, and my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced such an awful thing. But the science and the studies do not support your position that co-sleeping is the problem, and making statements like that just helps you lose the argument, not make a difference.
I hit send before posting my own opinion.
My life has been affected by SIDs. Not as directly as a couple who has lost their own child, but affected nonetheless. However, I believe co-sleeping to be an individual choice, and have no qualms with anyone who chooses to do so. I'm not going to stand on a soap box and lecture you about the dangers. I personally can't imagine wanting to risk sharing my bed with such a tiny and fragile being but, that's just me.
With saying that I don't judge co-sleepers, I do judge co-sleepers who so arrogantly turn their noses up at the advice of members of the medical community and anonymously attack them on a message board. It's disrespectful and I imagine you're a much better and kinder person than that in reality.
And, for the record, the illustration is very cute and the humor is not lost on me!
when our four yr old son creeps into our bed i wait till he is sleeping and go sneak into his bed. we all get plenty of room and sleep !
Okay okay...I concede that comparing co-sleeping to drunk driving and gun handling was not a good analogy. I simply meant that it is risky behavior that many do without hazard but has resulted in deaths (not the only form of SIDS, by the way). I get that the illustrations are meant to be fun and taken lightheartedly, but not everyone knows to take these things with a grain of salt.
That being said, I DO realize that co-sleeping can be done safely. I simply wanted to make a point to those who had a problem with the commentors who were trying to be helpful by spreading awareness.
There is a lot misinformation about SIDS on here.
SIDS is an unexplained death.
It is not the same thing as drunk, smoker dad accidentally smothering his infant to death on a sofa. That isn't a co-sleeping death. It is a drunk dad smothering death. Safe co-sleeping is never done with a impaired parent.
And studies of safe co-sleeping with a breastfeeding mom show that the risk is very low, lower in fact than a baby sleeping on a toxic crib matress, in another room, with an unresponsive parent. The flame retardant SIDS risk + hearless CIO approach + baby in another room of "nurse parenting" isn't much discussed in the US but it is the primary cause of our higher than average rate of SIDS.
@Magpip: that was the best parenting comment ever. Really, it should be framed, every word of it. I couldn't agree more !!
When we talk about cosleeping, I always have a question... how do co-sleeping parents have sex ???
SIDS AND SUFFOCATION WHILE CO-SLEEPING ARE NOT THE SAME THING!!!!! I just had to say it.
Disclaimer: Not a parent. Not affected by SIDS in any way. Not in the medical community. Just a regular 25 year old graphic designer.
Sorry to say - but you people who are so quick to judge the medical community and RN's who post on here are just plain stupid. There are hours upon hours of research that sometimes contradicts other research that has been done. This calls for more research. This also takes years to complete, and most of the time trends change faster than research can finish. Have a little respect for the people who are available at any time of the day to put blood in your body should you need it for any reason. Just because they are INFORMING you of a situation and what is reccommended by pediatricians they know and respect in their field doesn't mean you can go all @BABY YAGA on them. Wow. No one is forcing you to do anything via an Apartment Therapy comment string. Call off the revolution.
Love the art, AT! Totally thought of my sister and nephew, she was telling me about this EXACT SAME THING a few days ago :) Makes me laugh. I barely get enough sleep with my husband beside me... lol.
PS: AT - LOVE the art :) So cute and I'm sure true!!!
Gosh I don't know what to think of all this. I wasn't allowed in my parents' bedroom let alone their bed.
Thank you Ashla for your points.
my daughter is now 3.5 and we've coslept on and off all her life....that said, she totally neck scarfed me the other night so this gave me a great chuckle! these are so true! and funny! thanks for the laugh....by the way whatever works for you people. there are heavier issues to fight over, take it easy
baba yaga- once again you prove you are nuts.
Oh my gosh, I'm laughing so hard at these! It's just so true. Fortunately, my kids are grown and on their own now. I get to sleep in peace... until the cats come in.

If you plan to celebrate the New Year on the 31st, there's one more activity you can add to your list, that hasn't been available in the past.
During the last legislative session, lawmakers decided to allow fireworks to be sold for New Years and not just the Fourth of July.
Not many North Dakotans can say they've lit fireworks in the state with a fresh coat of snow on the ground. In fact the last time they were sold this time of year was for the millennium.
"We're really excited for another selling season. We're used to just selling June 27- July 5,"say Shannon Knutson, Memory Fire Works. But now fireworks can be sold across the state from December 26 until January 1.
"So far people are really excited and some kids just want to get a few little items to light. But I think it will be different, it will be really interesting to see what people are wanting," says Knutson. "And if you think they're only selling a few select items like sparklers you're wrong. They have a full stock just like on the Fourth of July.""We have a few new things. We're really promoting our rainbow series for colorful, to fill up the sky with that for the winter. And we're doing $10 off of that," says Knutson. If you do decide to buy some this year it's important to keep in mind where you can light them off."Bismarck residents do need to remember that they are still illegal to have in possession or to be fired within city limits," says Officer Pat Renz. If you plan to light them off in Mandan it's OK as long as it's between the hours of 5 p.m. on December 31 and 1 a.m. on January 1. This excludes bottle rockets which are prohibited. Anyone caught lighting them off at a different time could face a $75 fine.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

About Me
I bought the Pro Tapered Countersink Bits from [...] and tried it against the Snappy Tapered Countersinking Drill set that I bought from Woodcraft. They both perform the same function but the more expensive [...] set caused the wood chip to burn half way through drilling the hole. The bit actually discolored. I was surprised the chips actually smoked, and turned black. I used it on red oak that was kiln dried and on the same piece of wood. Both bits have the same profile as far as the taper and the grinding of the lead in point on the bit. The Snappy had a slightly smaller counter sink diameter. I regularly use this type of countersink bits and I was looking for a better product than I had bought a [...] I make gun racks (about 15 to 20 per year) and each rack uses a total of 28, 2" screws. I countersink the screws because I plug each hole. The racks are made from red oak so I need a good bit to hold up to the number of holes drilled.

The following is an update on Amendment 4, as promised in the June president's report.
Like all of us, either a homeowner, business owner or both, we're struggling under the weight of unfair property taxes. Specifically our small businesses are getting their "assets" taxed off at an alarming rate. More reason to support Amendment 4. It is being offered to help save your hard earned dollars and stimulate the Florida economy.
Florida TaxWatch says it will create 20,000 jobs and grow our GDP by approximately $1.1 billion for the first 10 years. That equates to real jobs and real dollars in your pocket.
If passed Amendment 4 lowers the cap on small business property tax increases each year from 10 percent to 5 percent. It will protect you from burdensome increases in property taxes over time. It will create a more predictable tax environment for our small businesses.
As recognized for more than a century small business is the backbone of our nation's economy. When small businesses grow and thrive, so too does our country.
For additional information regarding Amendment 4 visit www.taxyourassetsoff.com.
Please remember, in November vote yes on Amendment 4.
Joe Catrambone is the Stuart Martin County Chamber of Commerce president.

A bill designed to protect dairy farmers from the financial 'ups and downs' of the volatile business has expired, and farmers across the Capital Region are already bracing for the impact.
Milk producers say this tough economy makes it even more crucial for congress to come up with a plan soon.
And the New York Farm Bureau says if congress doesn't act soon, the expired bill could start to affect kitchens across the nation.
The Farm Bureau says without federal 'price support' for farmers a gallon of milk could spike from about three dollars per gallon, to about six dollars per gallon within just the next few months.
Steve Ammerman is the Manager of Public Affairs for the New York Farm Bureau.
He says the smaller dairy farmers will be the hardest hit by the expired farm bill, adding that many may even have to find a new way to make a living if something isn't done soon.
Farmer Tom Borden of O.A. Borden & Sons, Inc in Easton says caring for cows, and making milk costs big bucks these days.
"High grain prices is a big part of our dairy farmers problems of course that comes along with high fuel, those two go together. There's high grain, high feed, high fuel and high utility costs," Borden said.
But starting October 1st, the federal MILC money or 'Milk Income Loss Contract' cash set aside to help farmers bridge the gap between cost and revenue dried-up.
Ammerman said, "And any time milk prices are fairly low, and feed prices rise, this MILC program kicks in, and provides just a little bit of money. It could be anywhere between five to ten percent, it all depends on the farmer. That gives them just a little bit of money that helps them get through the market , and gives them incentive to stay in the business."
Ammerman added, "The price support system, their safety net, if you will that they've had in place for the past five years has been pulled out from under them as of yesterday."
And that means the nationwide milk pricing structure will be overhauled, going back to the system that was used years ago.
Ammerman said, "What will happen is that, if there's no farm bill, it will revert back to what's called 'permanent law' which is an antiquated milk pricing system that doesn't relate to the modern dairy industry. It would allow prices to be set on an unreasonable formula which would basically double the price of milk."
"They're not looking for a hand out, but at the same time, they do want a fair and reasonable price for what they produce," the New York Farm Bureau Spokesman said.
Borden agrees, the price of milk could soon be skyrocketing.
Borden said, "The price of milk would actually go way up. I think that's very bad for both the consumers and the farmers. That high of a price, I think, is going to hurt the consumer. The consumers aren't going to be so interested in eating and drinking milk, and dairy products because the price will be so high. And it's also bad, and it's also going to hurt farmers because we're not going to compete well in rural markets, and exports are very important, because we're not going to compete well, and we'll lose sales domestically."
Ammerman said, "You could be talking about six dollars to buy one gallon of milk in a grocery store and many people won't be capable of paying that, or simply won't be willing to pay that. So farmers aren't likely to be getting a higher milk price anyways, because how many people are really going to be buying milk at that price."
And Borden says no new bill means 'no farm' if something isn't done soon.
Borden said, "If it really went to that, I really hate to think about what that might mean. I would definitely go out of business. I think I'd look for some other enterprise to work on here, yeah."
Ammerman said, "They need lawmakers to pass 2012 Farm Bill. They need a new farm bill in place so they know moving forward, what the playing field is, what regulations will be in place, what safety net will be in place. And it's not just dairy farmers, it's all farmers, whether you're a vegetable grower or if you have an apple orchard, you want to know what the farm policy is in this country, because that helps you run your business in this country when you know what the rules and regulations are. We don't know if it will get to that point, we certainly hope it won't get to that point we hope the leaders in Congress you know, come to their senses if you will, and prevent that business impact from taking place."
Borden thinks the lack of action is all about politics.
He said, "I want the Congress to do their job. We need the farm bill. This should be above politics. The timing, just because we have a presidential election, we don't do anything? This should have been done it should have been done already. It's kind of a disgrace that they've put this aside."
Borden says, for farmers, those federal stop gap checks will stop arriving in November, and that's when the problems will officially start, unless something is done soon.
And just to give you an idea of the local impact, O.A.Borden & Sons, Inc. produces between 5 and 8 percent of the milk for Stewart's Shops, and Borden says his farm won't survive for long without help.

Supervisor's Guide to Healthy Living at Work Pilot
Purdue is piloting a Healthy Living at Work program in its ongoing effort to encourage healthy behaviors and positive lifestyle changes among employees. Achieving these goals can help improve job performance, increase work satisfaction and reduce health care costs for the employee and the University.
The pilot will run from Aug. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013.
Who is eligible for the pilot?
All benefits-eligible, non-exempt (hourly) employees at the West Lafayette campus who are covered by a Purdue medical plan are eligible to participate in the pilot.
What does the pilot offer eligible employees?
- The Healthy Living at Work pilot provides up to 90 minutes of paid release time throughout the duration of the pilot to travel to the Center for Healthy Living for one visit, get an annual physical exam and return to the workplace.
- The employee does not need to make up the paid release time.
- The annual physical exam and preventive lab work will be provided at no charge to the employee.
Where can the employee go for the annual physical exam?
The pilot covers annual physical exam services through Purdue's Center for Healthy Living only.
When can the employee go?
The pilot runs from Aug. 1 through Dec. 31, 2013 The Center for Healthy Living is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. We expect this pilot to be popular. While the center can't help everybody at the same time, everyone who's interested should be able to get in before the pilot ends.
Peak volume times, special projects or staff absences may affect when your employees can be away from the job to participate in the Healthy Living at Work pilot. Please be flexible and collaborative in working with your employee to ensure that business needs will be met and to keep the impact on your department to a minimum.
How does an employee participate in the Healthy Living at Work pilot?
The employee will complete the following steps:
- Talk with the supervisor to discuss acceptable times to be away from the workplace and any appointment times the employee should avoid.
- Make an appointment at the Center for Healthy Living.
- Fill out the Form 33Absence (Form 33A), showing the time the employee will be away from the job.
- Turn in the completed form to request approval. The employee should give the form to the person who normally processes the employee's leave requests.
- Go to the appointment.
- At the appointment, request a Proof of Attendance sheet to give to the supervisor. HIPAA laws cover the exam, so the sheet will not include any personal health details.
- Record the time away on the time sheet as "Other leave."
Release time for this pilot is a privilege and is not a guaranteed benefit.
Employees who abuse the privilege to participate in the pilot may have the privilege revoked and/or will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
How should our department prepare for the pilot?
Departments are encouraged to establish protocol for submitting, considering and approving participation in a manner that best fits their business needs.
The Employee Relations team in Human Resources is available to answer questions and to help you establish procedures that will work efficiently in your area.
Sample scenarios
- An employee has scheduled an appointment for an annual physical exam, but finds out on the day of the appointment that a project needs her full attention. The business need of the department will come first, and the employee will reschedule her appointment.
- A business unit on campus is extremely busy during peak times of the year, such as July and August. In this case, the unit head or designated supervisor may choose to grant release time for the pilot during only September through December.
- A department is busy during the lunch hour every day. The department may set a guideline that employees may only request release time occurring between 8 – 11 a.m. or 2 – 5 p.m.
- An employee has been approved to participate in the pilot and has time available to do so. The supervisor is asking for proof that the employee used the time appropriately. The employee will ask the center for a Proof of Attendance sheet, which does not include any details of the visit, but does verify the time of the qualifying appointment.
Please contact Human Resources at 49-42222 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

UPDATE 10:35p.m.
A new person of interest emerges in the disappearance of Nelson County teen Alexis Murphy. Tonight, her family still believes the man behind bars in connection with Alexis's abduction is the single suspect. Murphy's family says investigators have been working to follow up on the lead put out by Randy Allen Taylor, the man arrested and charged with abduction in the case. Last month, Taylor's attorney gave a description of who the suspect says was last with Murphy. Taylor told his lawyer that he had met Murphy on the night of her disappearance and she had connected him with the other man to buy marijuana. Murphy's family still thinks Taylor is lying and that investigators are just doing their job by talking to this person of interest. The FBI says it will report anything substantial at the appropriate time. Authorities have not made any other arrest in this case, and Randy Taylor's abduction charge will go before a Nelson County grand jury Tuesday.
Nelson County investigators say they have located and contacted someone they are describing as a new 'person of interest' in the Alexis Murphy abduction case.
Investigators say they were following up on claims from Randy Taylor's lawyer, Michael Hallahan, that his client may have not been the last person to see Murphy before she went missing. Taylor claims another man had been present and provided him drugs with Alexis there.
The Nelson County teen has been missing since Saturday, August 3, when she was reportedly on her way to Lynchburg. The last place she was seen is a Liberty gas station in Lovingston.

Much as I'd like to plan a trip to Florida, I'm not sure it'd get past the planning stage. Finances are tight, health is pretty tight also - both me and da mrs - and their are supplies that, even if I could get them there, I prolly couldn't afford to get them there.
Pretty depressing first comment, I guess. :-(

This time round there will be 5 grandkids ranging from 18months to 6 years!!!! Sooooo excited.

We've been bringing our kids to DisneyWorld since our now 17-year-old daughter was 18 months and we haven't missed a year since. Not one. Every year, I keep telling myself, drink it all in, dad, remember every single moment because this is probably going to be our last trip as a family. But every year, we come back. She just never outgrows it. I hope she never does. I know I won't.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Three people are behind bars in Elizabethtown, charged in the rape of an eight year-old girl. Police say the abuse happened repeatedly in an RV parked in front of an Elizabethtown home.
Georgia Peña says the first time she saw the eight0year0old living across the street, in July, she worried something was wrong. Peña's children invited the girl over to play and she told them Todd Livingston, the man she lived with, was her father.
After a call from the Peñas, the Hardin County Sheriff's Office stepped in, and heard the girl tell the graphic tale of how she was vaginally, orally, and anally raped with the threat of violence throughout the month of July.
Livingston, 49, has been indicted on first degree rape, two counts of first degree sodomy, and first degree sexual abuse. His roommate, Dean Tinsley, 44, is also charged with first degree rape and sodomy.
It is unclear why Camilla Clark, the victim's mother allowed her child to spend time at Livingston's home since according to investigators neither of the accused rapists was related to the victims or in a relationship with the mother. WHAS11 stopped by to find out, but Clark had been arrested an hour earlier.
Clark was arrested Monday afternoon on second degree child abuse charges, because investigators say she was aware of the abuse for at least a year and a half, and advised her daughter to ignore it.

Brace yourself, this is going to be intense…
The name says it all! Those of you who have known me for five or more years know that I'm an expert in pleasure products. Those of you who don't, I use to coach women on increasing their sexual well-being through the use of various sensual items…more commonly called vibrators.
When I was asked to review the Intensity by JOPEN my curiosity got peaked by it's innovative design and I had to say 'YES'!
The Intensity is the first adult pleasure "object" created from a medical device. A team of medical professionals created an apparatus to strengthen women's pelvic floor muscles and that's how it all began.
Everyday women like you and me took part in the initial testing and reported having intense orgasms when using the device. Scientific research indicates the pelvic floor muscles are partly responsible for the involuntary contractions which occur during an orgasm. That's why it's very important to tighten and tone by doing your Kegels ladies…more intense and frequent orgasms!
With the added vibration on the shaft in the form of a G-Spot stimulator and a vibrating stimulator placed on the base for external use, the Intensity had the ability to hit virtually every erotic area of a woman's body simultaneously! Not only now do women have a product that can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles essential to their sexual health, this wonder tool has the potential to create powerful orgasms (…and might I add, increase a man's pleasure too).
Here's a fantastic video explaining the benefits of using the Intensity by JOPEN…
In case you missed it here are its amazing stats:
- The powerful dual vibrating motors have five speeds of intense vibration and 10 Incremental Levels of Electro Stimulation targeting the internal and external erogenous zones.
- The dual stimulating contacts enhance pelvic contractions – yes indeed!!
- It's made with premium grade Silicone, which is non-porous, very soft and durable – my material of choice.
- It has an inflatable shaft which allows you to personalize size and fit
- This is an automatic Kegel exerciser to strengthen and tone muscles – making a woman seem tighter and more youthful…and smile more don't you think?
- 100% Manufactured in the USA!!
In my opinion, every woman needs one…even if only for greater health, right ladies? Get your own Intensity from The Goddess Boutique.
xoxoHere's to much health and even greater pleasure,
Angela, The Goddess Next Door

We had accidentally booked the wrong date and the hotel staff was nice enough to let us change the date; HOWEVER, the only room available within our price range (Room 108) is a sorry excuse for a room that cost $79 Euros (that's $65 to the hostel and $14 to HotelWorld) which is essentially $120 US Dollars for something worst than a flea bag hotel back in the states. A Motel 6 in the worst part of town would have been much better. The room smelled like a sewer and our double bed barely held us.

President Obama didn't unveil any major new education plans in his State of the Union address tonight, although he did proclaim his Race to the Top grant program "the most meaningful reform of our public schools in a generation."
I thought that was a bold proclamation, given that the grants had only just begun and we don't have any results yet. I would agree that the RTTT program propelled many states to move quickly on legislative reforms in an effort to better position themselves to win a grant, from more charter schools to pay for performance. I think it can be said that Race to the Top may be the most cost-effective tool to push through major reforms in public education in a generation.
Otherwise, the speech touted familiar themes of the Obama White House: More math and science teachers. Education as the key to reshape and revive the economy. A need to remake No Child Left Behind. Help for the middle class afford college.
The president did make a plea for sane immigration policy toward children of illegals, saying, "Let's stop expelling talented, responsible young people who can be staffing our research labs, starting new businesses, who could be further enriching this nation."
And Obama called on universities to open their campuses to military recruiters, saying, "It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation."
Anybody hear anything new that I overlooked?

although I didn't listen to him, I did read the transcript. I felt the underlying message of the whole thing was for Americans to take responsibility and do something…..
In that sense, he wants more teachers….surely the man is not so out of touch that he knows a big reason for the lack of teachers is not only the "pay", but what teachers have to put up with.
Maybe he needs to give a education speech about PARENTS taking responsibility. Because I can assure you that most people only heard blah, blah, blah….

Personally, I'm sick of almost 100% focus on STEM while forgetting that students need to be well rounded. We forget the teachers who teach communication skills, citizenship (both domestically and globally), culture, and physical education. OK I get it, STEM is important, but not at the cost of a well-rounded student.
For what it's worth, I don't know about other states, but the RTTT money in Georgia is not going to be much if any help to Georgia students. It's a top-down program crammed down the throats of Georgia educators, filled with bureaucracy and punitive measures. Didn't the President mention doing away with the top-down management style for education?

The cost of implementing the changes of RTTT will eat up most of the grant creating more bloat. The DOE should be abolished. Nothing has been accomplished or improved by this black hole of funding. Check our science results and racial performance gaps.

Valerie's piece this morning also worth reading (Wa Post, The Answer Sheet).
We DO need to change how we view teachers – while survey data shows the public generally respects teachers as much as anyone, the educaton bashers have been bashing teachers as being lousy and worthless for so long it has made a difference: those who would be best frequently go find something ELSE to be best at.
And, although the bashers would simply have it that poverty is an excuse, from The Answer Sheet:
"And then there was the subject that Obama did not talk about: the real reason that so many American public schools are troubled. It's poverty.
"(Let me be clear: No, I am not saying that we don't have a lot of lousy teachers who shouldn't be in classrooms. We have too many, and they should be fired after a fair evaluation process. And I'm not saying that some great teachers don't help lift poor kids into another world. But they are the exceptions, and as I've said before, exceptions don't make great policy.)
"The United States has a child poverty rate of 21 percent. That's nearly 15 million children who live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level, now pegged at $22,050 a year for a family of four. [Compared to Denmark's 3%? -Wi]
"We can pretend all we want that great teachers can overcome the effects of poverty, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, bad eyesight, a lack of early exposure to books. But pretending won't make it so.
I wish Obama had said that."

Dr. No – There is no race to the bottom since we are already there. Much responsibility for the miserable current state of education goes to your hero, Bush, and No Child Left Behind in creating more problems in the educational systems than offering viable solutions.

January 26th, 2011
8:54 am
Meaningful? How so? By what criteria? All RTTT did was propel the states into knee-jerk legislation, most likely to the detriment of the students. Please.
Bush was NCLB.
Obama is RTTT.
When will we have a president (or a govenor, or a mayor, or a super, etc.) who would rather focus on improving education than the latest acronym du jour? As usual, the politics get played while the students (and teachers) suffer for it.
January 26th, 2011

One however must admit that this RTTT is much more "catch-phrasey" than NCLB. Kinda gives ya the high shcool pep rally feeling…
"Cmon Team, lets GO, FIGHT WIN, RAH RAH RAH"
January 26th, 2011
9:27 am
If handled correctly RTTT can be a good opportunity for change from within; instead of from the outside.
If it seems to have a Top Down Approach,it's because of our governor and state DOE.
I'm not sure how it's being setup in Georgia, but if I were in charge of this program; I would create a RTTT regional committee that brings together parents, teachers of all grade levels, school administrators and school board leaders. I would identify what are the top issues for parents, teacher, administrators and school board members; using those as the guidelines for making education work in Georgia.
There are a lot of things that truly need to happen in Georgia before we can make RTTT work for any of us.
January 26th, 2011
9:39 am
Waving money is the fastest way to get struggling schools and states to change their policies quickly…but are they really changing the ways that will help our children or is this just more red tape and government control. Will the federal gov. choose to focus on what is best for our schools and kids?? Not so far!
January 26th, 2011
9:40 am
Instead of change, spend less, spend more etc. Would it not be a good idea to examine all the Fed State education programs currently in effect, review them for effectiveness and dispense with the programs deemed non-effective?
This being the case we could also dispense with many over-paid, undeserving Fed State employees and possibly spend less for more.
That is certainly counter-intuitive to some political party thinking however what have we to lose.

@Enough Already:
A full half of the funds "won" in rttt will be used at the state level for "administrative" costs. Your hopes that it won't be a top-down operation in Georgia will be crushed. Perdue obviously had contempt for teachers in this state, and his crony Hames sees fit to dictate from on high when she could only hack it in the classroom for 3 years. Hmmm, yep.

However, The Campaign for High School Equity, (CHSE), a coalition of leading civil rights organizations, applauds his effort in highlighting the importance education. While we don't have any results of the Race to the Top program just yet, we believe it is a step in the right direction. However, more work needs to be done. Race to the Top may have pushed many states to reform their education standards, but without vigorous federal leadership and the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, our nation's schools will be ill-prepared to provide every student with the high-quality education needed to succeed in the global economy. President Obama asked Congress to swiftly revamp current federal education policy, but to be effective; we must engage communities of color from the start of the reform implementation process. Since students of color represent the fastest growing population in many of the nation's largest school districts, these students must succeed in the classroom for the nation to create the highly skilled workforce necessary to ensure the nation's future prosperity.
The choices we make today will determine the future of the young people in whose hands we will place America's prosperity tomorrow. We must act now. For more information about what's needed to effectively transform our education system so students will thrive in the 21st century workplace, read http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/education/139421-investing-in-tomorrows-workforce

Oh brother. Useless and stupid.

"While we don't have any results of the Race to the Top program just yet, we believe it is a step in the right direction."
And so does The Broad Foundation…
The following frightening points highlight alignment between Obama and The Broad Foundation, as the foundation's 2009/10 annual report boasts:
"The election of President Barack Obama and his appointment of Arne Duncan, former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, as the U.S. secretary of education, marked the pinnacle of hope for our work in education reform. In many ways, we feel the stars have finally aligned."
"With an agenda that echoes our decade of investments—charter schools, performance pay for teachers, accountability, expanded learning time and national standards—the Obama administration is poised to cultivate and bring to fruition the seeds we and other reformers have planted."
"Duncan now has five Broad Residents and alumni working with him in the U.S. Department of Education."
"But the election of President Barack Obama, who has embraced an education reform agenda that in many ways mirrors the work we have done, tells us we're moving in the right direction."
"Encouraged by the progressive leadership of Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan, The Broad Foundation invests $4.5 million for Chicago Public Schools to launch a new data system to streamline its human resource systems."
"The Broad Center names an independent board of directors chaired by New York City Department of Education Chancellor Joel Klein and including Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan (later named U.S. secretary of education), …."
"Broad Superintendents Academy graduate Thelma Meléndez de Santa Ana is appointed by President Barack Obama as assistant secretary for elementary and secondary education for the U.S. Department of Education."
"Three members of The Broad Foundation executive staff are loaned to the U.S. Department of Education, led by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. The "loaned executives" assist in the implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as it relates to distribution of education funds."
"President-elect Barack Obama names Eric Lander, the founding director of the Broad Institute, a co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a group that assists the president in making decisions on science and technology policy."

How much do you expect OBAMA to wave his magic wand and FIX?
The PROBLEM is the unethical examples we have modeled for our children.
NO RULES, NO LAWS, NO ETHICS, and you want to know where we have failed?
Look at the LEADERS …"while they play catch me, if you can".
Our children are now doing the same. RACE to the top, by any means.
Bush White House Broke Elections Law, Report Says Monday 24 January 2011
The report found that during the Bush administration, senior staff members at the Office of Political Affairs violated the Hatch Act by organizing 75 political briefings from 2001 to 2007 for Republican appointees at top federal agencies in an effort to enlist them to help Republicans get elected to Congress.

Well Hello people, Obama is challenging us, you, me every American. Get involved! You are right, most of the monies would probably start with Administration, so get on the board of your local school so you know where that money is going become a board member so you have a say in how it is spent. Come on get up off your duff stop with the negativity and help our kids … help our kids to make this work for them. Congress, President, the Government for goodness sakes is not going to be able to make it work alone! It has to filter down, to US for the sake of the teachers and especially ALL students!
So instead of being so against RTTT and finding every way for it to fail, get up – get out there and help make it succeed! It has potential God knows are school systems have not been in a position to succeed. These kids, each and every one of them, on the right path to do good or even on the wrong path, they are our future and if we want more from them now and in the future – we have to GIVE them more NOW!

West Hollywood Bans Fur Sales
Good for foxes and rabbits and dogs and cats
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Ann Mason | December 1 2011 | Permalink
Sadly, there will be blowback from this law. Merchants in West Hollywood have said their customers will just go into Beverly Hills to buy their fur, and that's probably correct. Consumer demand will discourage these laws from being passed in other cities. Still, anyone living in West Hollywood should be proud that their city is not participating in this cruelty. Personally, I have never spoken up when someone has bragged about wearing fur, and I'm not proud of that. How many of us would stay quiet if we saw someone trying to kill a dog? The act of buying fur may create a distance from the individual act of cruelty, but it's still every bit as serious for the animal. We should work toward making this unacceptable, just the way assaults which cause injury to people are unacceptable.

Topic - UKC Fit Club week 313
mrchewy - on 17 Mar 2013
UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Link to last week's (312) thread:
Ali - Good effort getting straight back on a climbing wall whilst jet-lagged. Hope Liz didn't push you too hard on the Sunday.
Daniel Heath - A flat week? 4 sessions of bouldering won't have hurt and writing a new food plan will have you at fighting weight quick enough. I need to explore this idea.
deacondeacon - Plenty of climbing again, inc limestone. The skateboard session will work other muscles and add to the fun count, good to see a new sport logged on Fit Club.
grubes - 15hrs indoors in 5 days is going some - you should be crushing in Spain!
Si dH - We have a new skier in the house! Not too much falling by the sounds of it and another hobby to buy kit for. Sounds like you had a solid trip to Font. STG - Comes the Dervish?
NMN - Nice steady week again with no work disruptions. Any specific targets once trad season starts?
AJM - A rounded out session like that will help keep you ticking along nicely and 46 pullups in 5min is dreamland to someone like me. That 7b should go if made the focus next time. Did you manage to make a cup of tea?
Nomics4sale - Always nice to isolate routes you'll enjoy working, Space Race is 7b+ right? Surely Sunday's run should have ended in the ODG and not started there!
Eagle River - It's quite inspiring hearing someone so keenly psyched for overhanging limestone, routes should start to tumble soon. Maybe there should be a Fit Club Malham meet this year.
Ian Bell - How's the injury? Nice work on the 6c+ onsight despite that. Just don't push things too soon and hold back recovery with a trip so near.
leon - 4x4s always seem to kill my skin. A nice example of a solid week's training but the training cycle must be coming to an end soon?
DoctorU - Under the weather and still pushing. That'll pay off soon enough and it's always good to get volume in.
JimmyKay - Good to see exercise fitted in when you've been so busy. Like the way you count your dynamic movements, I've just started doing the same myself but hadn't thought to log static time.
mattrm - Saw your thread e.e. injury. Making sure I eat protein at the right times and getting enough sleep helps me hugely. Don't get too despondent, things turn round eventually. I know this from experience.
Kevster - Shame about Scotland but at least you missed out on fulmars puking over you! Work will often get in the way, making weekends so important. I guess you'll visit White Spider again?
IainRUK - Harz National Park sounds okay and plenty of snow at such a low height. The XC skiing should help the core muscles.
maria85 - Not such a lazy week! Can't help with the falling issue as rarely do routes. Maybe get into the clip position and then hold it for a while after clipping, if you know you can hold on for longer than needed, then the problem will go away? I often stop mid boulder problem and hang on a straight arm as I lacked confidence in my ability to just hold on.
Exile - There's a fair few of us who seem to be fairly decent at this juggling malarky. Nice to hear the climbing's going well and there looked to be a fair bit of volume last week.
pork pie girl - Did the chiro visit help? Another packed week and good to see you enthusiastic about working a route for the next 2 years - hopefully it will go long before then!
ally smith - 64 pullups in 5min? Outstanding! Looks like the finger-boarding is coming along nicely and just at the right time too. 6.9% BF is nothing to be disappointed with.
seankenny - How has the healing gone with the antibiotics? They can leave me quite run down on their own. Good to see you post anyway.
Luke Owens - 5 rest days? Put some effort in man. Seriously, maybe the star turn this week with the new route. Nice little video and it looks pretty varied in it's climbing. Why that name? Top, top work.
kylieo - Nice to see ambition on the 4x4 6c+ and having the sense to downgrade a little. View rest and recovery as training, not a separate thing and planning for it helps hugely.
Jamming Dodger - Nice work on the two runs and a climbing session. It would have been easy to skip Sunday's run with the weather etc, so top effort. A good week all round.
biscuit - Always grand to get to a new crag and find a climb you really like, 40m sports 7a sounds horrific mind! Glad the one legged squats seem to be helping, just don't get lazy at them once they've done their thing. I think that's what cost me lately.
Joughton - Sterling work for the AS results Jake, you only get one shot at them, so well done and same on the 7c+ onsight indoors. Did you get hot aches at Raven Tor? It doesn't count as a cold day otherwise and unless they come mid crux, they can't be used as an excuse. You'll make a winter climber one day if you carry on...
mrchewy - TRY HARDER!

Over the past few months, the search for habitable, Earth-like worlds orbiting other stars has begun to seem a lot less like finding a needle in a haystack. In January, Harvard-Smithsonian scientists estimated that about one in every six stars in the galaxy has an Earth-sized planet. A month later, colleagues reported that potentially-habitable worlds might be relatively close, astronomically speaking -- just 13 light-years away.
Last week, NASA announced that Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists will lead a new $200 million mission to aid the search for such planets, called exoplanets, sending a refrigerator-sized telescope into orbit around the Earth in 2017. The spacecraft, called TESS, will be a powerful new tool for scientists, allowing them to scour hundreds of thousands of stars for signs of exoplanets of the right size, temperature, and distance from their suns to support life.

That George Zimmerman followed a completely innocent person, called the police about this individual and then ignored the polices request to leave it be is all George Zimmermans fault.
When I say that Zimmerman instigated this incident I mean void of his harassment, Trayvon wouldn't be dead.
Harrassment?? Yes..if you are followed by a car and then the driver leaves the car and chases after you; I would consider that harassment.
And if anyone is so ignorant as to beleive that this has nothing to do with race than America is far worse off than any of us beleives. If that was a white teenager would Zimmerman have even followed him. WOuld he have claimed the kid was on drugs (on the 911 tape) and would he have felt it necessary to leave his vehicle and give chase despite the dispatchers directions not to do so????
Rock n Chair; if you know of another country with a better justice system perhaps you'd prefer to live there. This is what we have. Whatever the process bears out we'll be forced to live with it.
In the end, if Zimmerman had handled things differently he wouldn't likely be in this predicament.

NEW YORK -- The NHL has suspended Anaheim Ducks forward Jean-Francois Jacques for three games after he illegally checked an opponent in the head, the league announced Monday.
He will forfeit US$23,780.49 in pay.
The suspension is a result of Jacques' hit on Columbus forward R.J. Umberger in a game Sunday night. Jacques elbowed Umberger's head after the Blue Jackets forward took a shot on goal at 14:17 of the third period. Jacques was assessed a five-minute major penalty for elbowing on the play.
Jacques is considered a repeat offender. He was suspended on Sept. 24 after illegally coming off the Anaheim bench and trying to start a fight with Vancouver's Mike Duco during a pre-season game. He was suspended for two pre-season games and five regular-season games for that incident.
Jacques will miss games Jan. 10 versus Dallas, Jan. 12 at Calgary and Jan. 13 at Edmonton. He will be eligible to return Jan. 15 at Vancouver.
Ducks defenceman Francois Beauchemin was not suspended or fined for his hit on Blue Jackets forward Jeff Carter earlier in the same game. The 31-year-old defenceman was given a 10-minute misconduct on the play.
According to reports, Carter suffered a separated shoulder as a result of the hit.

Craft Zero Socks
|(0 Reviews)
Store PriceBuy Now
Product DescriptionSome may think that to say the Craft Zero Bike Socks are perhaps the perfect socks for nearly any activity would be overstating the issue. Of course, if anyone out there has been lucky enough to wear them, then they may be more persuadable. And if you've actually used these socks in competition, for instance, you'd surely join us in trumpeting their superiority. For us to say they're among the best socks we've ever worn is not hyperbole, it's a statement of fact.The Craft Zero Bike Socks are made from the astounding Craft Zero fabric. This means that their moisture control and temperature balance are second to none. The socks are thin enough that you can wear them even on 90 degree days in July, but they also keep your feet so well protected that you can feel comfortable riding with them in the dead of winter. Ergonomically placed pressure zones have been incorporated to give the foot optimum support without cutting off the circulation to your toes. Similarly, the wide lycra cuffs are intended to keep the sock form-fitted and in place.The Craft Zero Bike Socks are available in Black and come in sizes Small through X-Large.

so weird
These are fantastic!! I wish they were made for women and had a few more with the fruit or vegetable theme. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a sweatshirt with fennel or broccoli or some awesome green vegetable?
How clever! The meat ones are certainly off-putting but I love the pineapple pattern! And the pickles!
Hahahaha, these are so hilaribad that I want to gift one.
those all look so gross. especially the bacon, the pickle, and the steak.. however, these would make awesome joke presents..
Awful! But I kind of want the pickle hoodie.
Absolutely disgusting!

Colts shave heads to show moral support for Pagano
Indianapolis, IN, United States (4E Sports) – Indianapolis Colts players, staff and even front-office executives decided to shave their head to show moral support for their cancer-stricken head coach Chuck Pagano right after their Tuesday's practice.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, punter Pat McAfee, defensive end Cory Redding and others sport a bald head for Pagano, who already underwent a second-round of chemotherapy to treat leukemia
"It's all for Chuck," McAfee told Indy Star Tuesday evening. "We all don't look good. I'm not built to have a bald head. I've got a huge sniffer.
Colts director of player engagement David Thornton brought a barber in the hallway during Tuesday's practice and players started to fall in line.
"But we all love our coach so much that we want to show unity and let people know we're all in this together. It's a really cool thing," said McAfee.
Placekicker Adam Vinatieri, safety Antoine Bethea, running back Donald Brown, wide receiver Nathan Palmer, corneback Darius Butler, linebacker Kavell Conner, offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo, guard Joe Reitz and long-snapper Matt Overton, Redding and McAfee were the first to have their hair shaved.
Luck and Reggie Wayne followed the next day.
Pagano made an indefinite leave since being diagnosed with leukemia on Sept. 26. After over a month of hospitalization, he was released from IU Health Simon Cancer Center on Oct. 21 and even attended Colts' 23-30 win over the Miami Dolphins Sunday.

Unilateral hydronephrosis
Unilateral hydronephrosis is swelling of one kidney due to a backup of urine.
See also: Bilateral hydronephrosis
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Hydronephrosis is a condition that occurs with a disease. It is not a disease itself. Conditions that are often associated with unilateral hydronephrosis include:
- Acute unilateral obstructive uropathy
- Chronic unilateral obstructive uropathy
- Vesicoureteric reflux (backflow of urine from bladder to kidney)
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones)
- Hydronephrosis that occurs without a known cause during pregnancy
Unilateral hydronephrosis occurs in approximately 1 in 100 people.
- Flank pain
- Abdominal mass
- Nausea and vomiting
- Urinary tract infection
- Fever
- Painful urination (dysuria)
- Increased urinary frequency
- Increased urinary urgency
Note: Sometimes unilateral hydronephrosis does not have symptoms.
Signs and tests
Unilateral hydronephrosis is usually identified with tests such as the following:
- Abdominal MRI
- CT scan of the kidneys or abdomen
- Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)
- Isotope renography (special scan of the kidneys)
- Ultrasound of the kidneys or abdomen
Treatment and prognosis for unilateral hydronephrosis depend on what is causing the kidney swelling. Treatment may include:
- A ureteral stent (tube that allows the ureter to drain into the bladder)
- A nephrostomy tube (allows the blocked urine to drain through the back)
- Antibiotics for infections
Patients who have only one kidney, who have immune-compromising disorders such as diabetes or HIV, or who have received a transplant should be treated promptly.
Preventative antibiotics may be prescribed to decrease the risk of urinary tract infections in patients who have long-term hydronephrosis.
Expectations (prognosis)
Prolonged hydronephrosis results in the eventual loss of kidney function.
If hydronephrosis is left untreated, the affected kidney may be permanently damaged. Kidney insufficiency or kidney failure is rare with unilateral hydronephrosis because the other kidney usually functions normally. However, if the patient has only one functioning kidney, kidney failure will occur.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have prolonged or severe flank pain, or if you suspect hydronephrosis.
Prevention of the disorders associated with unilateral hydronephrosis will prevent this condition.
