Let the Sunshine In
Sick of high energy bills, our columnist investigates solar options
This month, I've spent hours tramping across my roof with energy experts. We've measured its pitch, calculated how closely it faces true south and used high-tech tools to determine what times of day and which months the rooftop will be shaded.
The goal: to figure out how much the sun's free power can offset my home's hot-water and other energy needs.
Like many Americans swooning from higher heating and cooling costs I'm in the camp of "something's got to change." On one hand, I've taken many small steps to make my 1978 home more efficient: adding insulation, hiring an energy auditor to pinpoint air leaks, tuning the oil-fired boiler and replacing old appliances with Energy Star models. Last weekend, in 80-degree weather, I even shopped for a cleaner-burning wood stove certified by the Environmental Protection Agency.
But not until now, with a costly winter on the horizon, did I investigate solutions to seriously wean my home from fossil fuels. The average U.S. household is expected to spend 33% more this winter on heat, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Renewable-energy options that once seemed far-fetched or unaffordable suddenly look enticing, not just environmentally sound. "We've fundamentally turned a corner," says Jonathan Rose, whose New York-based Jonathan Rose Companies LLC helps plan and develop environmentally sound housing communities.
So how to choose? In my neck of the woods in New York's Hudson River Valley, oil is a prevalent fuel for home heating, as in many areas of the Northeast. It's also used to produce domestic hot water in many homes (including mine), which means the boiler operates year-round. Natural gas isn't offered where I live; a smaller percentage of houses near me use propane while others use electric. Five years ago, with oil at about $1.50 a gallon, the roughly 1,000 gallons my home consumes annually made my system a pretty good deal. This winter, oil is expected to average $4.66 or more a gallon in this region, says the EIA.
10 Steps to Lower Energy Bills
To make the most of a renewable energy investment, make sure you first:
1. Give your home an energy-audit
2. Seal existing air leaks in ductwork, and around windows, doors and recessed lights
3. Add insulation in the attic, basement and anywhere else you can
4. Upgrade to Energy Star appliances
5. Consider installing programmable thermostats
6. Tune up your boiler or furnace
7. Consider upgrading windows and glass doors to double-paned, insulated models
8. Install solar shades on windows and glass doors
9. Consider installing a cleaner-burning, EPA-certified wood stove or fireplace insert
10. Consider replacing your existing water heater with an on-demand tankless heater to reduce standby heat losses

I considered energy alternatives like wind and geothermal heat drawn from the earth. But there's no good place to install a windmill on my property, and geothermal would require potentially disruptive retrofitting of my house because its baseboard hot-water-heating system isn't readily compatible. According to one estimate, it would cost about $48,000 to drill the needed wells, install equipment and run ductwork. So I focused on solar energy.
Sun power gained traction in the U.S. during the last energy crisis in the 1970s. It went into a cold spell when tax incentives lapsed under President Reagan and oil prices fell. Now it's making a comeback. For starters, consumers are more focused on environmental issues such as global warming. Plus, new federal and state tax credits and rebates are available to homeowners, and systems often can be rolled into mortgages for new construction. (To find perks in your area, visit dsireusa.org.) Sweetening the pot, many electric utilities have "net-metering" programs under which houses equipped with photovoltaic systems, which convert sun into electricity, can sell excess power back to the grid.
Nationally, an average-size, 4.5 kilowatt residential photovoltaic system costs $40,000 to $50,000, before any tax credits or rebates, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. The lowest estimate I got was about $17,500 after rebates and credits, with an estimated payback period of 15 years. (A kilowatt-hour equals the energy needed to run a 100-watt bulb for 10 hours.)
But for a smaller investment, sun can be used to heat water for showers, laundry and dishwashing. At $2,000 to $8,000, these solar-thermal systems typically pay for themselves in under a decade. With extra equipment, they also can help heat homes. "It's a very quick and easy way to get yourself out of two-thirds of your hot-water bill," says Jeff Irish, a former General Electric Co. executive who runs Hudson Valley Clean Energy in Rhinebeck, N.Y., which designs and installs renewable-energy systems.
The industry is cooking. U.S. installations of solar water heaters nearly tripled between 2005 and 2007, according to the SEIA. Last month, Hawaii became the first state to mandate solar water heaters in most new homes beginning in 2010. Residents in cold-weather markets are investing, too: New York, Colorado and Illinois rank among the top states installing the solar thermal technology, the trade group says. "This spring, it really took off," says Randall Reu, managing director of Solar Water Works LLC, a solar-equipment distributor in Middlesex, N.J.
Configuring a solar water-heating system varies, but most include a water-storage tank inside the house and solar collectors outside, often on the roof. In one typical design for areas with cold weather, the system pumps a nontoxic antifreeze fluid (a propylene glycol/water mix) through the collectors to be warmed by the sun and then down into the storage tank. There the fluid passes through a heat exchanger to transfer the warmth to potable hot water stored in the tank. The solar tank feeds that warmed water into the home's existing water heater. On days when the solar tank's water doesn't get hot enough, it's heated further by the water heater.
The first step is to determine how solar-friendly your home is. I started with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to find a qualified installer. The Department of Energy also helps sponsor a site, findsolar.com, which lists certified installers by state, as does the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (nabcep.org) To find certified solar-equipment manufacturers, go to solar-rating.org.
I brought in several local pros. The good news: They pointed out I have a long swath of uninterrupted roof (no vents or other obstructions) facing south, which is optimal for positioning solar collectors or photovoltaic panels. The not-as-good-news: My roof's gentle pitch makes it tough to get direct sunlight in winter, and a grove of deciduous trees casts shade or filters the sun even in winter when the leaves are off.
"That's your bad boy right there," said Anthony Conklin, an inspector for Mercury Solar Systems of Greenwich, Conn., pointing to a looming sugar maple. Up on the roof, he whipped out a tool called the Solmetric SunEye, which snapped digital pictures of my site to plot solar exposure year-round. He and the other contractors concluded that the combined one-two punch of shade and low roof tilt meant a photovoltaic system wouldn't qualify for a full state rebate without some serious tree-trimming.
However, most pros I contacted said a well-positioned solar-thermal system, which operates more efficiently than photovoltaic, might be a cost-effective way to dip my foot into renewable energy. A federal tax credit of 30%, up to $2,000, is in place through 2008; a New York state credit will knock the cost down 25% more, putting my net cost for a simple two-collector, one-tank system at $5,000 to $6,000.
Depending on the system and the annual rise in energy prices (my estimates assumed a 3.5% to 5% annual increase), the estimated payback time was five to 10 years. Switching to a solar-compatible on-demand tankless water heater could help further shave my oil bill by eliminating standby heat losses in a regular water heater. A bigger solar system could help preheat water for space heating.
I'm still mulling my move and haven't given up on photovoltaic. Tuesday, an arborist came to assess the trees. Meantime, my oil company sent a letter locking in record-high winter pricing of $4.88 a gallon. The company's owner wrote: "There are no overnight miracles but if we are courageous, strong and work together, this too shall pass..."
That's sunny optimism of one sort -- but I might need technology as a backup.

Lets get one thing straight, JMM has no chance of retiring yet.
Ofcourse hes going to say, OO im mulling retiring, after hes been served an injustice. Also by saying that he gets the upperhand in the next fight with whomever.
What did you guys think Arum just signed JMM so he can have 1 fight with Manny? The guy is not stupid. Its not up to JMM to retire or not, unless he wants to buy out a contract.

David Beckham, his wife, Victoria, and their three young children landed at Los Angeles International Airport just after 8 p.m. on Thursday to begin their life in the USA. The introduction of Beckham by the Los Angeles Galaxy at a Home Depot Center press conference on Friday at 1 pm ET will be telecast live on ESPNEWS channel and on MLSnet.com. The Los Angeles Galaxy has reported that it has already received orders for 250,000 replica jerseys. Beckham's arrival has already been greeted with an avalanche of media coverage, including a Sports Illustrated cover and a risqué photo shoot of David and Victoria in W Magazine.
At LAX, the Beckham couple, accompanied by security, waved at a crowd of about 300 outside the terminal and walked through a barricaded sidewalk before leaving in a black Lincoln Navigator.
The Beckhams' sons -- Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4 and Cruz, 2 -- were escorted out of the airport through a different route.
Beckham, 32, will train with the Galaxy for the first time on Monday and will debut for the Galaxy in a friendly against Chelsea on July 21.
The Beckham's will reside in the 13,000-square foot villa in Beverly Hills they bought for a reported $22 million.

Tuesday, August 5, 2014
Those who know me probably know that one of my nerdy passions is board games.
I can pinpoint the beginning of my passion for tabletop games to my freshman year of college. There my college adviser, who was also my history professor, had shelves of games such as The Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Pandemic, Tsuro and Ticket to Ride. I always thought he was a cool guy, because he would try to incorporate the games in the classroom whenever possible. It was strange learning about the French Revolution through gathering resources in Catan, but memorable and impactful.
In Pennsylvania, I had a quasi-regular group of folks I played games with. Some had no experience beyond more popular games, such as Monopoly, Scrabble and Sorry. Others were overly competitive and spiteful, which made for rivalries in games such as Munchkin, where you can either choose to help or become a thorn in someones side.
Recently, I found the YouTube series Tabletop, featuring Wil Wheaton. Wheaton, for those of you who dont know, claims his fame for being one of the most well-known characters in Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the show he played Wesley Crusher, and a very vocal minority of folks always ranted and raved about him. He later went on play himself in The Big Bang Theory.
Tabletop is a video series that goes in-depth with playthroughs of games. For someone like myself, who constantly likes to try new ones, its great to understand what youre getting yourself into. Theres nothing that can ruin a good game night quicker than someone having to consult the instruction manual for 10 to 15 minutes to figure out if someone can move a certain way or not. Some games, such as A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, have so much stuff to keep up with and such unclear instructions to the point where most will just box them up and never allow them to see the light of day again.
Through Tabletop, I found my next purchase: A Betrayal at House on the Hill. The three-part playthrough on Tabletop was well put together and immediately sold me on the game. In Betrayal, you and up to five other friends explore a creepy old house, all the while expanding the board by opening new rooms. Along the way you find items, as well as omens. The omens require dice rolls, and could lead to a haunting being triggered.
This is where the game turns into a totally different experience, as one of the players is now out to take out everyone else. Traitor-based games are among my favorites, simply because of the strategy in play. Maybe its that reason I still enjoy watching Survivor after all of these years the whole outwit element and everything.
One of the few things I missed about Philadelphia (other than cheesesteaks) is the presence of friendly local game stores (or FLGS). Here in the CSRA we seem to really lack a shop of this kind. I know its a niche and requires a clientele that is dedicated to supporting it, rather than checking things out and buying them all on Amazon. If anyone out there knows of a store or tabletop scene, feel free to shoot me an email. Anyone out there that also would love to learn more about this dorky hobby can also shoot me an email. Just promise not to flip the table.

; other players with the same name, many of them rockers, seem to prefer formality. These include the
Robert Griffin
from Cleveland whose rock career began at approximately 13 and the New Orleans jazz pianist who has recorded several albums fronting a trio. The Milwaukee bassist is best known for playing with
the BoDeans
, a group that evolved out of a collaboration between Wisconsin high-school students in the first half of the '80s.
Guy Hoffman
's rhythm section mate, backing the precocious songwriting front line of
Sam Llanas
Kurt Neumann

Can someone start a conversation with me regarding the support of a Toshiba satellite c655-s5307? I received this nice looking laptop as a xmas gift. It was a present and I am over seas and have become stuck with it. I immediately saw that it had problems when I tried to power it up the first time. It just didn't work. No lights no nothing. I tried it and tried it, yet to no avail. But, after letting it sit and supposedly let the battery die out while it was in the box for a week or so, it suddenly turned on. I have a workaround that appears to make the laptop stop having its 'power on issues'. I use the laptop only on the weekends. I turn off all the battery saving and whatever features. And just let the battery kill itself on Sunday night. Then I let it sit for 5 days(b/c of work and just to be sure the batt is really dead) then on Friday nights I can plug it in and see the orange light and it boots up. If someone could just help me find a more viable solution, besides this cockamamie thing I do to make it work, it could be a big help to others that have been stuck with this laptop and with this problem. I have read many posts about this same problem and are stuck with this laptop but no 'at home' or DIY solution besides take the thing back to best buy seems to be posted. Anyway, It seems that the Laptop will power on when the battery is fully drained and suddenly plugged in, but not when it is fully charged. Can anyone tell me if there is a more permanent solution to this problem aside from sending the laptop back to the states? Can someone try my solution on their satellite c655-5307 and tell me if they get the same thing? I don't think its a hardware prob, as the thing will power on and function nicely so long as I let the battery completely die. Is there a bios update that could possibly solve this?
I don't hate you Toshiba. I bought a few PC's from you over the years, and they worked great in their time. But I have to admit, this c655-5307 was a big letdown. Help me solve this without just giving up and taking it back to the store, cause that is a bigger pain in the ass than just using it on the weekends.
Michael Ray
If it was a problem with the battery being charged, what happens when you remove the battery and try to start the computer?
Let's try this. Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. Is there any change after doing that?
Incredible, I also bought the same model at christmas brought it overseas only to find I cannot use it -the first one i bought was dead in the box, so they gave me another which booted up at the store - it also worked the first time i tried it here (overseas) so i know it's not the adapter or plug or anything like that--it won't start up at all now that i followed peter's suggestion - I just wondered if you tried too and it worked for you? or do you still let the battery run down completely and then use it only at the weekends?- or maybe you've found a different solution?
I'd appreciate any input - i don't see sending the thing back to the states as a solution..

I have a low volume sound problem with my Satellite C655-S5307. If I connect external speakers I can hear it but with ear phones or the built in speaker the sound is almost not there. I took it to the 'geeks' at bestbuy and they said that is was a problem shared by this model. Anyone having this problem. Everything else works ok thanks higenelanz.

The administration of the Canyon Independent School District is researching "solemnization," and attorneys, other superintendents and the district's insurance company have advised, "Don't do it," CISD Superintendent James Veitenheimer said Monday.
Solemnization permits students to hold a moment of silence, a thought for the day or devotional at school activities. To have such activities, the school board first must pass a resolution of neutrality, neither for nor against solemnization. If the student body then votes for solemnization, a student or group of students is elected to lead the moments of silence or messages.
The district has been advised that solemnization makes the district employees and the board of education liable, and it can cause certification complications for teachers and administrators, said Connie Guffy, assistant superintendent for human resources.
Complications also stem from the financial liability the district could face if it is sued. If the advice of the lawyers isn't followed, they won't represent the district in court. And if the warnings of the insurance company aren't heeded, the company won't cover the district anymore, Veitenheimer said.
The money to cover legal costs - if there were litigation - would come from the money allocated to pay teachers, buy textbooks and build new facilities, he said.
Many complicated questions still are to be answered. One is how to enact solemnization without involving the faculty. Another is how to conduct the student election and whether to give more weight to the votes of minority faiths or groups, Guffy said.
Students are allowed to pray in school before class, after class, between classes, during lunch and can be involved in Bible studies or groups like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Veitenheimer said.
"They (students) enjoy every other benefit that I know of," he said. "To say we've banned prayer - it's wrong."
The school board is made up of the same people who share a stadium seat and a church pew with community members, he said.
"The board is composed of people that have committed a great deal of time," Veitenheimer said. "Those are the people that are trying their best to balance the law with the desires of the people. In a disagreement, people try to get 'us against them.' It's not us against them."
The neutrality resolution will be on the board meeting agenda Nov. 8.
Until then, the administration will continue to look into the issue and get the board the most accurate information, Guffy and Veitenheimer said.

so my FIL and SMIL watch LO one evening a week so I can attend a fitness thing. when I pick up LO on last Wednesday, FIL and i are discussing how there are so many illnesses going around lately & he says that with his godchildren, he used to just wipe down their hands and faces with CLOROX wipes after they went to playground--to get rid of germs. I was like "do NOT ever do that again!!!". It is only funny because FIL is so well-intentioned and wonderful with kids, he just figured that "wipes are wipes". Oh my goodness, if he wiped down my kid with bleach i would be pissed! We will be taking safe antibacterial wipes for kids over next week. I am glad he told me this story so I could correct him. Yikes! any grandparent fail stories out there? sometimes I wonder how did us 70s babies survive? LOL!

Pretty sure there's no bleach in the wipes but still gross :P My husband jokes that when our LO stays with my parents half the time she has no pants on and often she comes back in a different outfit.

My mom told me last week, like it was no big deal, 'he fell down a few stairs today." REALLY??? Come on. And they introduced him to french fries, which my husband is so angry about. Now if he sees them, he refuses to eat anything else. But - they take care of him the best they know how and do it because they know we need a break, so as long as he comes back to me alive, with nothing broken, I can't be too mad

My parents were watching our DD on the day we moved into our new house.After a grueling, long day (I'm sure it was for my parents, too) we left LO at the new house with them while my husband and I returned the moving truck. We didn't have baby gates up yet because we had just moved our stuff in. We only have a few stairs but I warned my parents to watch her like a hawk around them. My husband and I returned to the house to hear our LO screaming and she had a huge bump on her forehead the size of a golf ball. My parents were watching TV and our LO tried to climb the stairs and fell. It happened about 30 minutes before we got there and they didn't even call us to tell us. I was really upset, it was LO's first injury and it freaked me out.

Why is it taking the police so long to make an arrest?
On Jan. 18, a beautiful 3-year-old girl, Mayouna Smith, was found dead in her home. It was determined she was the victim of a homicide and had been sexually abused. There has been much concern, as there should be, with the lack of protection afforded to her and other children by Child Protective Services.
But where is the outrage that there still has been no arrest? I am perplexed. The child's mother and boyfriend have not been charged. Perhaps there is no evidence to specifically link them to the crime, but this was a 3-year-old who was under their care, found abused and dead in their home. I don't get it. They are the adults responsible for her safety, so why are they not in jail?
This is not acceptable. If this is how our justice system works, it is pathetic. Arrest these people already. Interesting that the boyfriend lawyered up immediately. How about some press coverage about the lack of prosecution in this case instead of just looking at CPS?

Ever Snort Coke at An "After-Prom Party"? You Might Be a Dallas Cop Yet.
At noon today, the city council's Public Safety Committee will meet at City Hall, and among the items on the agenda is "Proposed Adjustments to Sworn Disqualifiers." In short, the committee will discuss whether the Dallas Police Department should lighten up on folks who want to become cops. There are a few minor changes, such as: Applicants can no longer be older than 45 when they take the Civil Service test. And there's one big proposed change.
Right now, you can't become a DPD officer if you've ever been charged with a felony drug offense after the age of 15. But under the proposed changes, you get a pass till you're 21 -- youthful indiscretions and all. Also, they'll be more forgiving if, ya know, you just smoked a little weed when you were a kid; not so much for intravenous drug users. Need an example? Here are two cited in the proposal -- and they seem very, very specific. And, like SAT questions. Also, like pitches for Wire spin-offs. --Robert Wilonsky
A 38-year old applicant comes in and admits that at age 16, and a junior in high school, he snorted a line of cocaine at an after-prom party. He didn't like it and never did it again. At 18, after graduating high school, he enlists in the military. He does two tours in the Middle East, earns several good conduct awards, a bronze star, stays 20 years and retires as a master sergeant. He saw the ad for DPD's military exemption and wants to apply to be a police officer.
A 25-year old comes in to apply. He admits that on his 17th birthday, he remembers the exact day, because it was his birthday, he tried cocaine one time with a friend. He was still in high school and never tried it again. He wasn't sure at that time what he wanted to be. He graduated college with honors and has been working for a telecom company for 4 years. He was laid off and wants to apply to be a police officer.

A 23-year-old North Charleston woman was charged with attempted murder Sunday after her uncle said she stabbed him in the chest with a kitchen knife.
Officers were called to 3313 Florida Ave. about 8:30 p.m. Sunday to check out a report of a stabbing, according to the incident report from North Charleston police.
They found Leroy Bolton, 51, lying in the street with his T-shirt covered with blood. Bolton told officers Carlin Davis stabbed him, according to the incident report. Davis is Bolton's niece, and they both live in an apartment at that address.
Bolton told police he and Davis got into an argument over her girlfriend not helping around the house and Davis picked up an 8-inch kitchen knife with a black handle and stabbed him in the chest. She dropped the knife on the counter, and Bolton went outside and called 911, according to the report.
Davis was standing outside the apartment when police arrived. At first her female friend told police she was one who stabbed Bolton, but she later told police she was trying to protect her friend and Davis stabbed her uncle, according to the report.
Davis was charged with attempted murder. She was being held on Monday in the Charleston County jail on $100,000 bail.
Bolton was taken to Medical University Hospital.

Purdue basketball gave the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes all they could handle on Super Tuesday, but it just wasn't enough.
The Boilermakers dropped their second straight, 84-87, in what was a gutsy performance coming off a loss against Indiana at home.
This game was a hard-fought one, and it showed a lot about this team. It looked like a completely different squad in comparison to earlier in the season.
Here is what we learned against the Buckeyes.

Our sweet little Lily was born at home on Sunday, August 19, at 1:42pm, weighing 8lbs 8oz.
Birth story below!
she's beautiful!! Congrats Momma!! Welcome to the world Lily!
What a beauty! Congrats!!
beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Congrats. I hope I can follow in your footsteps for a successful home birth as well
Short version:
Ctx @ 10:30am (crampy, lower back)
Phoned midwife @ 11:30 (heads up, non-urgent)
Phoned midwife @ 12:30 (come now)
Midwife arrived @ 1:00
Baby arrived @ 1:42pm
Long version:
Our daughter was born at home at 1:42pm on Sunday, August 19, 2012, after approximately four hours of labour.
On Sunday morning, five days overdue, I wasn't feeling very hopeful. I'd had only the mildest of preparatory contractions in the past week, no signs to point to the beginning of labour.
It was after 9:00. Everyone had been up for a while, but Sunday is my morning to sleep in. My husband gets Saturday; that's the way it's been for a long time now. I wasn't really sleeping - my loose pregnancy joints made that difficult - but I was lounging in bed anyway, enjoying the quiet and the lack of pressing responsibilities.
The contractions began as I lay there in that place between fully awake and fully asleep. They were different than the contractions I'd been having on previous days. They were low down, crampy, and wrapped around my lower back. They weren't intense or even regular, but by 10:30 I was starting to think a back rub would feel nice. I texted my husband out in the other room, but he didn't have his phone with him and so I received no response. After laying there for another fifteen minutes, I got up to find him.
He came into the bedroom with me and we talked for a few minutes. I told him these contractions were different and I planned to phone the midwife after having a shower. I said I'd just give her a heads up; they were mild and infrequent enough that I didn't expect anything to happen anytime soon.
In the bathroom, I discovered bloody show and took that as confirmation that things were indeed beginning. I poked my head out of the bathroom to let my husband know and then got in the shower. I had only one notable contraction while in there, and it too was easily bearable.
At 11:30, I phoned my midwife to give her a heads up that I was in the beginning stages of labour. I let her know I'd give her a call back when things began to pick up. My husband and I quickly prepared the bedroom for our planned homebirth, putting extra sheets and waterproof covers on the bed and clearing a few things away.
I spent the next hour idly wandering around the house. My mother-in-law was there to watch the kids, and my father-in-law had also flown in for a weekend visit. I could feel everyone watching me. I made myself some toast with peanut butter, took my daily iron and other supplements, and tried to make lighthearted non-labour-related conversation. Eventually I retreated to the bedroom for some privacy. I drifted around the room, clearing away bits of clutter and making sure everything felt ready.
By 12:30, the contractions were getting much more intense. I sensed an urgency to call the midwife even though I didn't really expect anything would happen until much later in the day. Deciding it was safer to call than to have another unplanned unassisted birth, I went ahead and paged her. Another contraction hit as she promptly returned my call, so I motioned to my husband to answer the phone while I dealt with what was now definite pain. As the contraction ended, I took the phone and told her she should come. Now.
It was a cool, overcast morning, so I went to sit outside and await her arrival. My husband continued to hover nearby. I was quite inwardly-drawn by this point but found his presence comforting.
At 1:00, the midwife arrived. She moved her supplies into our bedroom and began setting up. I was having a more difficult time managing the pain by this point, unable to find a comfortable position. I worried about how I'd make it through the next hours if I was already having such a hard time.
The midwife asked if I was okay with an internal exam and I readily consented, wanting to know how close I was. I expected I would be about 5 or 6cm dilated. "You're 8cm already," she told me, "but I'm sure you already knew that." I didn't tell her I'd had no idea I was that far along, but it was a relief to hear.
The boys continued to wander in and out, giving me little hugs and kisses and excited smiles before heading back out to play with their Oma and Opa. The boy still wanted to see the birth itself, while the toddler's decision changed moment by moment. I was glad their grandparents were there to care for them.
By 1:30, I was moaning and whimpering through the pain. The contractions were so different from my other two labours - which, interestingly enough, were also very different from each other. My first labour's contractions were very much like waves. My second labour had a few contractions that felt like little pinches behind my bellybutton, followed by the three full-body-slam contractions that broke my water and delivered my baby with no real warning. These third labour's contractions were very low down, very crampy, and nothing at all like waves or pinches. Funny how three labours could each have such unique contractions.
Then came the contraction that brought with it some pressure and a slight urge to push, along with a great deal of moaning and whimpering. The boys were both in the room at the time. Their dad reminded them that I was making a lot of noise because it was hard work to help the baby come, and it hurt quite a bit too, but I was okay. They both accepted the explanation without any upset, having heard it ahead of time as well.
I knew that my water would break with the next contraction. I had an intense desire to be in the bathroom instead of the bedroom, so I told my husband and midwife and immediately headed there before the next contraction came. They followed me in and closed the door behind them. I hadn't planned to give birth in the bathroom because of the size and poor layout, but when the time came, that's just where I wanted to be.
The next few minutes were almost exactly like my previous delivery, only this time my midwife was there, my husband was with me instead of on the phone with the paramedics, and my mother-in-law was in another room instead of catching a baby she hadn't even planned to see delivered. I sat on the toilet and the next contraction came. The midwife said the baby was right there and suggested I move to the floor. I refused until the water broke, and then, as with last time, I moved to the floor on my knees and let my body do all the work. I was glad to be leaning on my husband this time instead of clutching the edge of the bathtub.
I felt an overwhelming sense of relief that this was it, the baby was coming, and it would all be over far sooner than I had expected. Two contractions later, our baby was born. It was 1:42pm, less than an hour after the midwife had arrived.
The birth itself was, oddly enough, the easiest part of the entire labour. I had only held on tightly to my husband as the contractions pushed the baby out; again, as with last time, I didn't push at all myself. I asked my husband later whether or not I had hollered through the delivery (as I most definitely did with my other two) and was surprised to hear that I hadn't made a sound this time. Just hung on and gratefully let it happen.
After collecting myself for a moment, I realized the midwife was telling me she would pass the baby up to me; I shifted position and took the baby from her, holding the baby against my chest. The baby had been screaming but immediately quieted and snuggled against me.
The boys came in soon after. They were both excited to see their baby sister or brother, but the boy was a bit disappointed he'd missed the birth. I was disappointed for him as well; it had all just happened so quickly.
The boys wanted to know whether they had a brother or sister. None of us had checked the gender yet, so I pulled the baby away from me to look. It was a girl!
I sat there a while longer, waiting for the placenta. Eventually I chose to cut the cord and give her to my husband so I could get into a better position. The midwife clamped the cord and my husband cut it, then took her out to show everyone while the midwife stayed with me. The placenta came (in good time, but it felt very much like a "finally" to me). I was able to get a close look at the placenta this time, which was a first, actually, despite it being my third birth.
The midwife asked if I'd like a shower and I gratefully nodded, remembering how I'd asked for one last time and been refused by the paramedics. I rinsed off and headed to my nice clean bed, where they brought me the baby. She promptly and easily began to nurse.
Eventually the midwife checked us over. I hadn't torn and everything else was fine as well, but the afterpains were nearly as bad as the contractions themselves had been. I was given Tylenol, Advil, and arnica pellets. Everything looked fine with the baby too. She was 8lbs 8oz, 51cm long, with a head circumference of 34cm.
She and I made ourselves at home in our bedroom for the rest of the day. Her daddy kept us company and her big brothers wandered in and out to look at her. The boy was thrilled, while the toddler was a bit more cautious. He soon came around, though, and began inspecting her ears, eyes, hands, and toes. I made my phone calls to share the news with family.
Later that evening, I left the bedroom and let my in-laws have some time with their new granddaughter. I sat outside for some cool fresh air and some quiet. My husband soon joined me. I tried to wrap my mind around the idea of having a girl. Even though I'd been prepared for and excited about either gender, there was still part of me that just assumed it would be a boy. But here she was, a girl!
The kids began getting ready for bed. Since the baby was still content after a full day of nursing, I went into the boys' room with them to put them to sleep, our usual bedtime routine. The boy kept telling me how excited and happy he was about his little sister being born. The toddler kept reaching up to touch my cheek and tell me he loved me. It was a lovely quiet time with just the three of us until the toddler fell asleep; just what each of us needed.
More than 24 hours later, we finally settled on a name for our little girl: Lily. We are all completely in love and so happy she's here.
I commented in Birthing Naturally, but I just love this story. Gave me goosebumps. Congrats again, she's absolutely beautiful
Beautiful!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations! She's just beautiful and I love your story!!!
Sweet Sweet Sweet!
I love that your story includes each family member's response to Lily's arrival.
Beautiful story and pictures, thanks for sharing! Congrats!

Asset Pricing Implications of Non-Convex Adjustment Costs and Irreversibility of Investment
Ilan Cooper
BI Norwegian Business School
October 2003
AFA 2004 San Diego Meetings; EFA 2003 Annual Conference Paper No. 863
This paper derives a real options model that accounts for the value premium in stock returns. If real investment is largely irreversible, the book value of a distressed firm is high relative to its market value because it has idle physical capital. The firm's excess installed capital capacity enables it to easily expand production in response to positive aggregate shocks. Thus, returns to equity holders of a high book-to-market firm are sensitive to aggregate conditions and its systematic risk is high. Simulations indicate that the model goes a long way toward accounting for the observed value premium.

Local Guide/Best place to learn
Pros: The French Swiss Ski College
Cons: Limited Vertical Drop
I took my son here for a one hour private lesson and some skiing with dad and friends. As usual, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. My son is now a "skier". Highly recommended for beginners and intermediates. Decent terrain park, and usually has the best late season coverage, last to close perennially. One thing to note is that they do charge for parking. Last season it was one dollar.

" I just wanted to tell you, I received my soap samples. I used the wildflower one first. The BEST soap I have ever used. My husband even commented on how clean he felt and he loved the smell. Thank you!" - Mary Palais in Kings Beach, CA
Ordered these soaps for myself and other family members, we all love using them.
This is my favorite soap that has a lasting scent and still cleans great!
Wildflower is the first of your soaps I ever picked up and I LOVE it so much! As the others have said, it is so pretty with all the flecks of "soap-pourri"...would be a special touch in a guest bath. It is so gentle, yet does leave you feeling clean and smelling great! It lasts a good while too.
This is such a unique looking soap w/ the shreds of other soaps (soap-pourri) & wildflowers! Smells so fragrant & love the organic oats in it!

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General DescriptionA small dark grey-brown geometrid, slightly above average in size for the genus Eupithecia (1.9-2.4 cm wingspan). Markings obscure except for a fairly prominent dark forewing discal dot. The presence of dark brownish shading along the cubital vein at the bases of veins 3 and 4 and short dark transverse dashes on the postmedian line can be used to identify some specimens. However, the genitalia should be examined for positive identification. The square shape of the valves with a prominent median costal process and the narrow lyre-shaped 8th sternite in the male, and the very long appendix bursa and an almost completely sclerotized ductus in females will identify lachrymosa (Bolte, 1990).
