Notes from Bedrest: Around the Bed in 80 Days ....
Jane from L.A.: Wasn't that a movie? The movie of my LIFE, maybe. Eighty days. Eight-oh. In bed. Eleven-and-a-half weeks lying down. Seriously.
The doctors just left my 31-week house call. They liked what they saw. I saw a big blob on a tiny portable machine. Beautiful. The little man is about 3 3/4 lbs.
For those of you carefully reading each blog, you're probably thinking, "Hey, I thought she was going to their offices at 32 weeks. What gives?" Well, I was going to go to their offices next week, but a friend called me and said, "So you're going to get up at 32 weeks ... after lying there for 12 ... and risk something happening? Are you nuts?!" I listened to her and asked the dynamic duo to come here one last time. Wasn't that nice of them?
So, yeah. Still lying here. Still pregnant. Am I boring you? Maybe that's a good thing. I hope to continue to be boring for a while. My water broke with Willa at 32 weeks, four days -- and I delivered her just shy of 33. Wouldn't it be neat to beat that after all this? If I make it to (dare I say it) 36 weeks, the cerclage stitch will be removed and then all bets will be off. But I'll be term and Junior can do whatever the hell he wants to at that time. I have dreams of being a big pregnant person, waddling around at 37 weeks in a muumuu: "Who me? Yes, I'm sooooo pregnant." If that happens and you hear me complain about how tired I feel or how sick of being pregnant I am, you can slap me. Hard.
Here are some fun facts:
Joe Wiseman, my hero and shower timer-er, got his pilot picked up in the midst of all this crap. I'm proud.
I have not had my hair colored in 20 weeks. That's five months, in case you were wondering ... and visualizing. Yuck.
By some act of someone, I have managed to only gain 18 lbs. in 31 weeks of pregnancy
-- not for lack of trying. I live on chocolate-covered pretzels and turkey paninis. I plan to put on a good 20 or so before Junior gets here, so I can wear said muumuu at 37 weeks.
The day I hit 30 weeks, I let myself begin to discuss names with Joe (no, Joe, his name won't be "Ajax Lokey Wiseman") and order boy bedding. I immediately regretted my actions and spent the night convinced I was going to go into labor. I did not.
My mother, father, mother-in-law and Joe have slowly but surely unpacked my new house while I lie here like a slug. I can't wait to see it!
My next appointment with the docs is at 34 weeks -- at their offices. I hope I make it that far. But I am definitely happy and grateful that I didn't deliver this baby in weeks 20 through 30. That was so real and such a possibility. I woke up most mornings in a panic. I feel like I could handle it if he came early now. But if he could just wait a month or so ....
I hear Willa crying. That means Joe will pick her up and bring her to my room so I can kiss her boo-boo. It's not much, but I'll take it.
* "Notes from Bedrest" is a new column that features e-mails
from a mom who recently experienced bedrest. We are posting her e-mails
chronologically in the order she wrote them.
I feel your pain. I spent 16 weeks on bedrest with my second. 13 weeks with my third. It's so hard…but so worth it in the end. Hang in there!
Been there Jane. I was in bed with an incompetent cervix from 17 1/2 weeks pregnant until almost 37 (was going to get up at 36 but she was small so they kept me still another week). I watched the leaves out my window go from summer green to burnt orange to covered with snow. When I finally got up she didn't come for another week and then remarkably I was induced! Crazy time, from panic and anxiety to utter discomfort and boredom once I made it out of the danger zone. But she's almost 11 now and it's the best thing I could have ever done. Good luck! Making it to week 32 is a great milestone!
The solution is to gradually become free of societal rewards and learn how to substitute for them rewards that are under one's own powers. This is not to say that we should abandon every goal endorsed by society; rather, it means that, in addition to or instead of the goals others use to bribe us with, we develop a set of our own.
I loved what youve done here. The design is elegant, your content classy. Yet, youve got an edginess to what youre offering here. Ill definitely come back for more if you keep this up. Dont lose hope if not too many people see your vision, know youve got a fan right here who values what youve got to say and the way youve presented yourself. Good on you!

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.
No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar.
The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
There is clearly a bundle to realize about this. I think you made various nice points in features also.
I saw something about that topic on TV last night. Great post.
Just had to tell you, I certainly had big fun at this website. i find it to be refreshing and very instructive. wish there were more sites similar to it. Anyhow, I felt it was about time I let you know, I will put your webblog on my blogroll. Thanks again for sharing this online. I certainly loved every part of it.
I love your website, and I especially love this articles.
Thank you for another wonderful article. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I'm on the look for such info.
I am constantly searching online for posts that can facilitate me. Thank you!
Hello.This article was really remarkable, particularly because I was investigating for thoughts on this matter last Sunday.

Melody is 9 years old, her brother Shane is 11. Shane wanted a new skateboard for his birthday and tickets to the big game. Melody's mom finally thinks she's old enough to take care of a pet, but she still doesn't have the kitten she longs to have. When they mention the skateboard or the kitten, their mom and dad sound annoyed and say they just can't afford it right now. What's going on?
When families have money troubles, it can mean small changes or big changes. It could be that families go to the movies less often or use more coupons at the grocery store. But it also could mean that a parent takes a second job or the family moves to a different, less expensive house.
This can be hard because kids usually like everyday things in their life (school, home, friends, weekend activities) to stay the same. Grownups are often that way, too. For instance, if your mom gets a second job that can mean she's not at home as much as she was.
If money problems are affecting your family, it might help to understand that other people are having the same trouble. Sometimes, money gets tight because something happens to just one family — like someone getting sick or someone losing a job.
But there are also times when many people are out of work because of problems with the economy. In recent years, money problems have affected lots of families.
Money problems are adult problems, but they can affect kids. A kid would naturally be concerned if his or her family has money problems, but kids don't need to solve those problems.
That doesn't mean you can't help out, though. Sometimes it helps to try to be very grown up and not complain or get too upset when you can't have something you really want. If you need to get some complaining out, you might write it down or talk to someone who will understand, like a big sister, grandparent, or school counselor.
You might also create a "Wish List" of stuff you'd like to get when things are better, or at birthday or holiday time. When you want something, write it down. Next to it, write how much you want it on a scale of 1 to 10.
When grownups worry about money, it can come out in different ways. Some people seem tired, upset, quieter than usual, or are more likely to yell. Sometimes, parents argue with one another about money troubles. It's great if you can try to talk with your mom or dad about what's bothering you. If you can't talk to them, try to talk with someone. Usually, talking things out makes us feel better.
It also helps to remember that times will get better. House prices and gas prices go both up and down, so what's bad now can — and likely will — get better down the road. In time, the grownups that care for you will find solutions to their money troubles.
Being a creative kid can make things a little better right now. Try these ideas if you need a boost today.
Most households have a lot of stuff they no longer need or want. A yard sale can clear out the clutter and raise money at the same time. You'll need to ask your parents first, but it makes a great family project. You might ask if you can keep the money from any of your items that are sold.
Your mom or dad might be willing to pay you something for being extra helpful, such as babysitting a brother or sister, or for doing extra chores. With your parents' OK, you could offer your services to a neighbor or friend in need. Are there leaves on the ground, snow on the sidewalk, or a car that needs to be washed? You're just the person for the job!
What if you're bored and broke? Here's a list of ideas to get you started on your free and low-cost fun!

Update from the Department of Environmental Management: State parks, beaches and management areas will be closed on Sunday, Aug. 28 due to expected arrival of Hurricane Irene.
Rhode Islanders enjoy one last beach day, though a foggy one, before the storm hits at Scarborough State Beach in Narragansett on Saturday morning at 11. The beach has not closed yet, but Beach Manager Chris Carty said the Department of Environmental Management has restricted swimming to in front of the pavilion.
"We're using our own discretion until we hear from the town," Carty said.
The Narragansett Times will keep you up to date on the latest Hurricane Irene news.
Hurricane Irene remains forecast to be a large and dangerous storm and a Mandatory Evacuation Order remains in effect.
As of 10:30 Saturday morning, South Kingstown has ordered those in the evacuation zone to leave no later than 6 am Sunday.
Persons in coastal low-lying areas are encouraged to leave the area this evening, but no later than 6:00am Sunday morning.
All others in the evacuation zone need to leave no later than 6:00am Sunday morning.
CHARLESTOWN - It is not often that a group of children can educate a room full of adults, especially when it comes to the deep-rooted history of a colonial village. However, that is precisely what happened at the Quonochontaug Grange on Friday, Aug. 20.
By LINDSAY OLIVIER
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō ŌĆ£Did you feel it?ŌĆØ ThatŌĆÖs the question residents up and down the East Coast were asking each other Tuesday afternoon.
Though many around Rhode Island felt vibrations from the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Virginia, no damage was reported.
Still, the event has left many in the Ocean State wondering if they would be prepared for a natural disaster, whether itŌĆÖs an earthquake like TuesdayŌĆÖs or a potential hurricane, like the one that is projected to make landfall this weekend.
Charlestown has ordered a voluntary evacuation from Route 1A south. The evacuation is mandatory for residences located on the beach and pond waterfronts & will take place between 5 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Saturday . It will be in effect at least through Monday at noon.
The Westerly Senior Center at 39 State St. will serve as the regional shelter. It will be open at 4 Saturday afternoon. Charlestown Police Department information line is 213-6920.
The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) has announced closures to state parks, beaches, and campgrounds due to the impending landfall of Hurricane Irene. State parks and beaches will remain open on Saturday, August 27 pending local evacuation plans and restrictions. All state beaches will be closed on Sunday, August 28 and public access to these areas will be restricted.
NARRAGANSETT-As of Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service had upgraded Hurricane Irene to a Category three storm. Narragansett has been hit by severe storms in the past, most recently Hurricane Bob in 1991, yet preparedness for such weather is always a topic which bears repeating. What should residents do to prepare for a potential hurricane? Where should they go if evacuation is necessary? These are questions that are vital to community safety but are often overlooked by the public.
The Town of South Kingstown is ordering a mandatory evacuation notice by 10 am Sunday. According to the town, residents who receive this notice should seek shelter away from the South Shore coast line and low lying areas near Narrow River.
The town's emergency shelter is located at the South Kingstown High School, 215 Columbia Street, Wakefield. The shelter will be available by those requiring assistance by 8 am Sunday.
The Narragansett Times will continue to update you on the latest hurricane news.
The Town of Narragansett is recommending that all preparations for the anticipated hurricane be completed by 3pm Saturday, and, all boats on mooring and slips be removed as soon as possible. THe Town of Narragansett is issuing a mandatory evacuation of low-lying areas to be completed by 10 a.m. These areas include Great Island, Harbor Island, Sand Hill Cove, Jerusalem, Breakwater Village and Bonnet Shores. Keep checking back at the town website http://www.narragansettri.gov or The Narragansett Times for updates on the hurricane.

The night rally moved to the gym as its new venue as parents and students filled the bleachers to watch the class skits and club performances.
The homecoming theme, movies, had each class celebrate a different cinematic classic — "Grease" for the senior class, "The Wizard of Oz" for the juniors, "Star Wars" for the sophomores and "Transformers" for the freshmen.
The gym was dimly lit with spotlights and strobes as students danced on the gym floor.
Homecoming festivities conclude for the year with the parade through downtown at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct.26.
The Wolf Pack will face the Edison High Vikings after the parade, with sophomores taking the field at 5 p.m. and the varsity game starting at 7:15 p.m.

Hi Tom
I once chased you down St Martin's Lane around 11 years ago, in order to ask you to sign a Doctor Who novel for me...unfortunately it was a Paul McGann novel so I wholeheartedly apologise. After that, I often shared a cheery "hello!" with you whenever you passed the Quinto bookshop on Charing Cross Lane where I worked...thank you for brightening up my days then!
However, I digress. My question to you is this:-
You often refer to your Catholic upbringing in interviews and I know your views on religion have obviously been coloured by your life and experience.
However...as a Catholic myself, I am well aware of the difference between religion (a man-made construct) and faith ( something that comes from deeper within.) Am I correct in thinking that, although you no longer subscribe to a religious view, you are still nonetheless a person with great faith?
I might be wrong, but I often sense from interviews that you still possess a keen spiritual nature...?

The Historical Sampler Company Gorgeous Tapestry Kit
Product information
A beautifully printed tapestry design by The Historical Sampler Company that would make a thoughtful present for a friend.
The kit contains a 13 hpi printed canvas, tapestry wool, needle, colour chart and full instructions. Size when complete: 52 x 23cm.
- Brand
The Historical Sampler Company
- Eligible for International Delivery
- Types of Kits
- Contemporary Designs
Editors Notes
This company was set up by two best friends in November 2001; Suzanne Bullman and Joanne Stellig, who shared a passion for cross-stitching. They have been friends for 22 years and five kids between them (all teenagers!) They attended their first retail show at Olympia, London the following Spring and were greeted with much acclaim. At that point, they only had seven designs to their name, which is a stark contrast to nowadays, where they now have a collection of over 100.
Their office and workshop is located in Joanne's garden, where they design, manufacture and distribute all their kits. They're aim has remained the same over the years - to create kits they would want to buy themselves. This the reasoning behind all kits containing pre-sorted DMC threads, zweigart fabric (either aida or linen), a needle, computer-printed colour chart and full instructions.
Their designs used to be traditional samplers based on original antique designs, but since then they have expanded their range beyond this, which was inspired by their initial move to create birth and wedding samplers. They're committed to keeping up-to-date with modern trends and take inspiration from popular images.

Lecherous Gaze release Zeta Reticuli Blues!
Oakland, California's LECHEROUS GAZE will release its new album Zeta Reticuli Blues on June 17 via Tee Pee Records. Recorded at Earhammer Studios (High on Fire, Hot Lunch),Zeta Reticuli Blues delivers ten uber-memorable tracks that showcase the sizzling six-string sonics of Graham Clise (also of Witch), the band's Sabbath-tight rhythm section and the sneering snarl of vocalist Zaryan Zaidi. Zeta Reticuli Blues is the follow-up to LECHEROUS GAZE's full-length debut, On the Skids, which was hailed as one of the "Best Bay Area Metal Albums of 2012" by SF Weekly.
Pitchfork debuted the song "Boulevard Diamonds", calling the cut "a boogie straight out of hell." Point, click and crank it at THIS location.
The Onion A.V. Club premieres the "mean and greasy" new LECHEROUS GAZE song "Night's Edge". Rev up your Thursday right and rock out to "Night's Edge" now at THIS location.
VH1 rolled out the ripping "New Distortion", tagging the Oakland band as a "rising stoner punk force" and placing LECHEROUS GAZE "At the artistic helm of a new wave of stoner punk bands." Don't delay, blast the VH1 premiere of "New Distortion" today at HERE.
Aaaaand order Zeta Reticuli Blues directly from our shop HERE.
Track listing:
1.) End Rising
2.) Dog
3.) New Distortion
4.) Animal Brain
5.) Baby Please Don't Go (Big Joe Williams cover)
6.) Uncle Dale
7.) On the Skids
8.) Boulevard Diamonds
9.) Night's Edge
10.) Zeta Reticuli Blues
LECHEROUS GAZE was formed in 2010 by former Annihilation Time members Graham Clise (guitar), Chris Grande (bass) and Noel Sullivan (drums). Inspired by "Chuck Berry, the Damned and most stuff that came in between," LECHEROUS GAZE play -- in their own words -- "Psycho-delic shred-tastic ultra-hyphened rock-punk heavy jams." We call it a smash-up of '60s and '70s hard rock, punk and metal influences (think: MC5 to Black Sabbath to AC/DC to the Ramones), fast and to the point!
In additional LECHEROUS GAZE news, the band has been confirmed for the the inaugural Meltasia Music Festival, set to take place September 5-8 in LaFayette, GA. The band will share the stage with acts like Black Lips, Nik Turner's Hawkwind, Black Oak Arkansas, Danava and more.
Check out a VICE spotlight titled "Graham Clise Explains How He Annihilates on Guitar" HERE.
LECHEROUS GAZE live dates:
June 19 San Francisco, CA Eagle Tavern
June 27 Ventura, CA Billy O's
July 12 Seattle, WA Black Lodge
July 13 Portland, PR Know Bar
July 26 Oakland, CA Eli's
September 5-8 LaFayette, Georgia Meltasia Festival
"Oakland, California's Lecherous Gaze are the latest gang of not-so juvenile delinquents to throw out the riff rule-book and create something that rocks with the best of whatever form of amplified and aggressive guitar rock you prefer to fixate on. There's the sleazy swagger of '70s Nugent, the mad abandon of The Germs, the Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa of the MC5 and the tripped-out, searching musicality of Hendrix and early Santana. At the artistic helm of a new wave of stoner punk bands, including label mates The Shrine, the remainder of the year is sure to be filled with constant touring and probably capped with their appearance on many a 'Best of 2014' list on the strength of the new album." - VH1
"Lecherous Gaze got their start in the Oakland hardcore scene over a decade ago, but they've mellowed out ever since lead vocalist Zaryan Zaidi took the reigns in 2011-that is, if your notion of "mellowing out" involves swapping breakneck tempos for crushing psych, smoking 20 joints, and turning the amps up to the point that your teeth rattle. Their new album, Zeta Reticuli Blues, hits shelves June 3 via Tee Pee, and features guitar work that'll make you long for the days when they still made Guitar Hero games." - PITCHFORK
"lick-laden songs...sleaze-greased '70s hard-rock groove...purveyors of true rock." - THE ONION

NEW Crystal Star Pendants + Restock on Tuesday July 3rd, 2012 @ 6:00pm EST (GMT -4:00)
So sorry that this took so long! This month I had a few migraines that took a lot of time from my schedule u_u I finally finished assembling the Crystal Star and other pendants. Crystal star took so much longer than other pendants since it has more pieces.
This will be my last restock until sometime in August, I have lots of things going on in my personal life atm so it may be awhile until the next restock. u_u
New Items:
NEW! Crystal Star/R Pendant - $35 About 1 5/8" (42mm) in diameter SOLD OUT
To be Restocked:
Crisis Necklace - $30 About 1 5/8" (~41 mm) in height and 2 1/4" (~58mm) in width. SOLD OUT
Pretty Guardian Pendant - $35. This one is much bigger than the cosmic heart (hence the price difference). It's about 2" (50mm) wide and 2" tall.
Season 1 Necklace - $25 About 1 1/2 (~36mm) in diameter
Eternal Necklace - $25 About 1 1/4" (~32 mm) in height and 3" (~75mm) in width. SOLD OUT!

I didn't have a chance to restock the chibi moon pendants because i ran out of materials.
All crystals are swarovski crystals. My pendants DO NOT OPEN. I'm sorry if this upsets you, but if I were to do that (which I don't plan to) it would require much more time, work, materials and of course be more expensive. Please remember, we are not a huge factory. There are only two of us making, packaging and shipping your orders.
All prices are exclusive of shipping. Shipping is $3.00 US/Canada, $5.50 Everywhere else. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! Double/triple check your shipping addresses before purchasing. I've had a number of people provide old or incorrect shipping addresses and there's not much I can do about it once it is sent out. (I have to wait until it is returned to me)
First time buying on Etsy? Please read this article. Please read my shop policies before purchasing. Sadly, I no longer ship to BRAZIL, I've had too many lost/delayed parcels to Brazil.

NBCNEWS.COM - Two former workers at a Pennsylvania nursing home are in jail after police say they were caught on camera abusing an elderly patient.
Investigators say the abuse happened at the Arbors at Buck Run, a nursing home in Bucks County, Pa. The daughter of a patient at Arbors became suspicious about how her mother was being treated and decided to take action, according to investigators.
"The patient's daughter installed hidden cameras in her mother's room and captured the abuse that's alleged in this case, including one of the accused literally dancing in the face of a wheel-chair bound victim," said Detective Eric Landamia of the Lower Southampton Police Department.
Police and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare began to investigate. According to the DPW, the two workers were seen "dumping" a resident on a bed and "manhandling" the patient.
The DPW also says one of the workers danced in front of the resident while holding a cell phone and then singing and yelling directly into the resident's face. The ongoing abuse happened repeatedly from October 16 to November 13, according to the DPW.
Police identified the two workers as Regina Battles, 20, and Irene Rodriguez, 22. Both women turned themselves in Tuesday morning and were sent to the Bucks County Jail after failing to post $100,000 bail. They are charged with neglect of a care dependent person, reckless endangerment, simple assault and harassment.
he lawyer for both women says his clients did nothing wrong. He also calls the surveillance video that captured the alleged abuse "a matter of interpretation."
"I understand the victim's family seeing it in a way that they're perceiving it," said Defense Attorney Alan Zibelman. "I completely understand that. But I also believe that if an objective person looked at it, it could be perceived in a different way."
The two women aren't the only ones in hot water due to the alleged abuse. The DPW revoked the Arbors' license, citing "gross incompetence, negligence and misconduct."
NBC10 Philadelphia talked to a spokeswoman from Arbors.
"Do you have anything to say on behalf of the facility?" asked NBC10's Deanna Durante.
"No," said the woman. "I just think it's a wonderful place to work."
The woman eventually directed NBC10 to the nursing home's management
company. The company told NBC10 the nursing home previously received a
citation also related to patient care back in February which they were
in full compliance with by May. The company also claimed they would
appeal the DPW's order to close and will stay open for the next 30 days.

The Baltimore Police Department has for the past four years recorded the highest percentage of rape cases that officers conclude are false or baseless of any city in the country, according to The Baltimore Sun's review of FBI data. More than 30 percent of the cases investigated by detectives each year are deemed unfounded, five times the national average. Only Louisville and Pittsburgh have reported similar numbers in the recent past, and the number of unfounded rape cases in those cities dropped after police implemented new classification procedures. The increase in unfounded cases comes as the number of rapes reported by Baltimore police has plunged — from 684 in 1995 to 158 in 2009, a decline of nearly 80 percent. Nationally, FBI reports indicate that rapes have fallen 8 percent over the same period.

Baltimore police and 'unfounded' rapes
Rape is different from other crimes. Not only does it involve a violation more profound than any other crime but it also comes with a social stigma that forces victims to relive the pain again and again. No one suggests that a victim of a carjacking was really asking for it. No one asks whether an assault might really have been consensual. When a robbery victim is on the witness stand, the most private details of her life are not dissected under cross examination.
10:27 AM EDT, June 27, 2010

EAST GREENWICH — The curtain at the Greenwich Odeum Theater is close to rising, but there is still a good amount of work that still needs to be taken care of.
At least that's what Odeum President Frank Prosnitz told the Town Council during Monday's meeting in giving an update as to how the renovations of the historic venue on Main Street are progressing with the end of March – the targeted timeframe for the theater's grand re-opening – quickly approaches.
EAST GREENWICH — Parents know every single day what it takes to raise their children with the right tools to better their skills.
Teachers in area schools understand that, as well, knowing that they need the proper books, writing utensils and computers at their disposal in order to properly educate the future contributors of society.
Back in October, teachers and parents of students from both Meadowbrook Farms and Hanaford Elementary Schools understood their concerns of having classrooms with outdated technology – old computers and laptops – or no technology at all.
EAST GREENWICH — The fate of the latest proposal incarnation of a mixed-use Greenwich Boulevard development may hinge on a radius.
The Planning Board heard 3.5 hours of testimony last Wednesday from representatives of local developer Joseph N. Zenga, who is seeking a comprehensive permit to develop 40 townhouse units, including 10 to be designated as affordable housing, off Greenwich Boulevard and behind East Greenwich American Legion Post 15 down to the Amtrak rail line near Greenwich Cove.
EAST GREENWICH — There's a lot more to being a Girl Scout than selling cookies door to door.
And there's a lot more going on for girls who think they're too old for Scouting just because they've reached middle or high school age, says Kitty Opishinski, public relations coordinator for East Greenwich Girl Scouts.
EAST GREENWICH — A young person going through adolescence can be a challenge both personally and socially.
It can also be a challenge for parents of an adolescent, trying to guide their child through the various changes the development stage can bring in that brief period of time.
EAST GREENWICH – Some museum curators and caretakers exhibit living history. Tony Amaral lives amidst history.
Amaral, 41, a Taunton, Mass. native and Adams State College grad, is a former self-employed painter who is the new business manager and caretaker of the Varnum Memorial Armory. He lives in the caretaker's apartment within the building itself and often has to open his room to cater to guests renting the space for parties.
Amaral replaces longtime watchman Jim Wilson who took care of the venerable place for a quarter century.
EAST GREENWICH – Lauren Pietrantozzi is trying to raise $7,200 so four people can take a walk – a 39-mile walk.
Pietrantozzi, a popular server at Besos Tea House, will enter the Avon Foundation Walk for Breast Cancer on May 19-20 in Boston with three friends in an attempt to donate as much as they can. But before the sparkling young woman meets that date, she has another equally important one set for Sunday, March 25.
That is when Besos Tea House will hold an initial fundraiser for Team Pietrantozzi's larger effort in Boston in late May.
In today's paper, we have what local and state school officials think about the push to move back the March 1 deadline to layoff teachers.
We also have the proposal by Senator James C. Sheehan that will give municipalities across the state more profit from beach fees collected by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
This week, the Narragansett Town Council and Economic Development Committee meet to boost the town's profile.
In sports, we have the story on how the Narragansett Girls Basketball become the Division II champions.
"Bastard" is a word most often used as a pejorative when referring to a person –usually a male- with whom we disagree. Many people regard it as a "swear word". The dictionary defines bastard as "an illegitimate child" or "born of unwed parents".
Of course, political correctness precludes our use of this word in reference to any child. I suspect the reasons why are that today 50 percent of women under 30 years of age who give birth are unmarried and two out of three children of color are born to single mothers regardless of age.

Comments about Stansport G-480 Double Arm Chair:
We purchased this for camping trips in our RV. This double chair is not very comfortable. The back requires that you sit STRAIGHT up. The bottom cloth near where the back of your knee is, digs into your skin. We are all of normal weight and height. I would think it would be more uncomfortable for larger people. I would also NOT be comfortable sitting for a long period during a ball game, sporting event, etc.. If it would be easy to return, I would.

Comments about Stansport G-480 Double Arm Chair:
We have had the chair tested in the living room by the nephews. So far so good. It will be field tested when it gets warmer outside, and we go camping. So far it seems like a typical folding chair. But it is so nice to have two seats connected. This was different than what I have seen other places.

Since I was younger I always kept a little notebook or album of items I collected from various places, like movie tickets, postcards, stickers, and fortune cookie sayings I liked. To this day I have a box on my bookshelf filled with museum and exhibition pamphlets that I tuck away under the category of "future reference." Apart from my notebook of scraps and my box of leaflets, I also have a cork board that is perched next to my desk, however in recent years it hasn't gotten much attention. For the cork board's virtual counterpart, however, the opposite is true.
Recently there has been a lot of discussion about the exponential spread and use of the popular site Pinterest, whose name kind of explains itself – a virtual pin board where people can collect images of interest and inspiration onto boards that their friends can see or follow.
If you're into image collecting and referencing, you'll probably already have an account with Pinterest, and might have been building your pinboards for a while now. The Design Tree has an awesome Pinterest collection that you can follow as a matter of fact!
Pinterest isn't the only virtual pinboard or image referencing / bookmarking site out there though, and since this form of social media has started to gain wider acceptance, more and more sites using this form of user interface seem to be showing up on the radar. Going through a few of them, I found that each site tries to bring its own sensibility and style to the land of the virtual pinboard.
To my knowledge FFFFound is one of the oldest image bookmarking sites in existence, and has probably as wide a range of categories as Pinterest, with the only downside being that membership is closed (meaning you can't sign up or be invited anymore). It's still a treasure trove of finds however, with the only downside that you can't really sort anything you find and like.
Similar to FFFFound, We (heart) it is more of an image bookmarking site, with the difference that allows people to "heart" images and create what they call "inspiration galleries." It is closer to pinterest in this sense, with the content focusing more on imagery that evoke a certain feel or attitude rather than being an illustration of a design or idea. The site itself feels geared to a younger audience, which is apparent in its branding and marketing.
Gentlemint boasts that it is "one of the more manly sites on the internet," and it does not disappoint – the site is very much an all-manly things version of Pinterest, complete with a logo that boasts a moustache and a monocle. Contrary to popular belief however, there are guys active on pinterest – they're just not as obsessive when it comes to pinning.
A rather new discovery of late, Designspiration is definitely growing on me, particularly because of the quality of the items being posted. It is a very targeted form of bookmarking, mainly for design afficionados and designers, but is filled with lots of great images of creative and innovative ideas, most of which were submitted by the creators themselves.
Perhaps most known in design circles is Dribble, which labels itself as "show and tell for designers." The site is a platform for designers of all media to showcase something they're currently working by submitting a snapshot. It's a nice pool of activity that allows for quick referencing of someone's work that could help spark new ideas when you're in a little rut.
Remote image bookmaking seems to be an up and coming area of social media, and I think it also has the potential to become an avenue for collaborative creativity. What remains to be seen for the moment however, is how the user interface development ensues from hereon. Will it be used for more than just inspiration boards? Can it actually have a larger impact rather than increasing traffic on websites? The answers aren't clear for now, but we might get an answer soon enough.

The 'Hey Girl' meme has gone bonkers on the internet. But this one makes me laugh while simultaneously flashing back to my university studies. Also Ryan Gosling apparently does know about the F*uck Yeah Ryan Gosling Tumblr which started all of this. That truly does increase his awesomeness.

Beth Fortune, Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs
Beth Fortune is the vice chancellor for public affairs at Vanderbilt University. She leads the university's comprehensive communications, government and community initiatives and serves as the chief spokesperson.
She joined Vanderbilt University as associate vice chancellor for public affairs in September 2000. In that role, she served as the principal deputy to the vice chancellor for public affairs and oversaw the university's news and communications functions, including the News Service, Vanderbilt View, Science and Research Communications and Creative Services.
Fortune came to Vanderbilt after serving as press secretary to former Gov. Don Sundquist for more than six years. A member of the Governor's Cabinet and the first female gubernatorial press secretary in Tennessee history, Fortune served as the primary spokesman for the Sundquist administration.
Three times named by Business Nashville and in 2003 by The Tennessean as one of the city's top young leaders, Fortune also has been recognized by the Nashville Scene as among the most effective and respected public affairs professionals in the city. She is a frequent speaker and panelist for professional, political and community organizations.
Before joining the Governor's staff, Fortune served as Sundquist's campaign press secretary in his successful 1994 run for office. She previously worked as a principal in The Fulton Group, a former Nashville lobbying and public affairs firm, and as manager of public affairs for the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority.
From 1985 to 1992, Fortune was a political reporter for the now-defunct Nashville Banner, where she covered state and Metro government and won an Exceptional Merit Media Award from the National Women's Political Caucus for a series on women in Tennessee politics.
Fortune was the recipient of the "Spirit of Leadership" award in 2006 from CABLE, a networking organization.
A 2001 and 2004 Athena nominee, she was one of former Mayor Bill Purcell's first appointments to the Metropolitan Educational Access Corporation and was elected chair in 2004 and served in that role until 2007. Fortune also serves on the boards of Women in Numbers (WIN), Urban League of Middle Tennessee, Blue Ridge Conference on Leadership, Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity, Belcourt Theatre and as president of Renewal House. She is a past president of the Nashville Women's Political Caucus, past president of WIN, a former member of the CABLE board of directors and member of the Leadership Nashville Alumni Association. She is a member of CABLE and the Tennessee Women's Forum.
In 2002, she was nominated by the Tennessee Women's Forum and was one of 16 women worldwide selected by the International Women's Forum to participate in its prestigious yearlong fellowship on executive leadership that included programs at Harvard University and the University of Cambridge in England.
A 1985 graduate of Anderson University, Fortune earned an M.A. in journalism and public affairs from The American University in 1990.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) -- A public television station that serves the Shenandoah Valley and central Virginia has moved to a new home.
WVPT-TV left its longtime home at James Madison University's Port Republic Road entrance this week and moved to the Copperstone Office Complex in Harrisonburg.
President and general manager David Mullins tells The Daily News-Record (http://bit.ly/1hrr01v ) that the Copperstone site has new equipment which will enable high-definition programming.
The station plans to add technology that will allow off-site production of shows.
WVPT-TV opened at the James Madison site in 1968. The university bought the building last October and plans to use it for academic purposes.
The station will lease space at its former home for its transmitter.
A formal opening of the new site is planned this summer.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - When you see trout anglers go into Wisconsin's streams, you know that spring is not far off.
The state DNR says the early trout season begins a week from Saturday – and it runs through April 27th.
If you're interested in going after those brownies and brookies, the DNR says the best time to do it is in the afternoons, when water temperatures are higher.
Experts say scud-flies and wooly-burger are good choices when there's no surface activity, and the line has to go deeper.
There's more information – including a map of trout waters and access points – on the DNR's Web site, accessible at Wisconsin.Gov.

No batteries required
Our daugther has an old toy piano. A few days ago, the batteries started to die and the piano played awful tones that just didn't sound well. So it was my part to replace it with new batteries or even better get rid of them and add this:
Yes, you're right, it's a LJUSA dynamo torch from IKEA and it's quite cheap. What's left after breaking it open was this:Attached to the red handle there's a gearbox combined with a brushless motor (like in your computer hard drive). From there, three black wires lead to the white PCB that has a capacitor (5V, 1000μF), diodes and resistors. The hole thing converts AC current to DC current and stores the energy in the capacitor. The black and white wire are + and - poles.
Next step.
Well the main part was to attach the gearbox/electronic inside the piano and find a good place for an ergonomic handle operation that suits a two-year-old. I drilled some holes on the back and screwed on tightly the gearbox to the housing. After that I just needed to solder the black/white wire to the corresponding connections found at the now obsolete battery compartment.
After pushing all the wires back inside the housing and tightening the screws, the conversion to a batteryless toy piano is quite subtle, even the handle color is matching with the piano housing.
To be honest: you have to turn the handle for about 30 seconds to play a few tunes. The capacitor isn't enough powerful to store a lot of energy. But hey, at least it will work forever unless the handle breaks or somebody set it on fire.
I saved for sure some batteries and had some fun moments making it.
