Whether you run a big or small business, email newsletters are an important way to engage with your customers and persuade them to buy your product or service. When written properly, they can build customer loyalty to your brand and increase sales significantly. But if done with lack of thought, they can annoy your customers and make them avoid your business next time they need to make a purchase.
To avoid issues, follow our top 7 tips to utilize your E-mail Marketing Newsletter and watch your sales grow:
1. Email the right people.
Only email people who you think will be interested in your products. If you email the whole of the Internet, around 99% of those that will receive it will have no interest in what you're selling. The annoyance caused to them could give you a bad reputation and discourage actual customers from buying from you. When someone has bought a service or product from you in the past, remember to add their email address to your subscription list.
2. Grab the reader's attention with your subject line.
Many people won't have time to read through all of their emails every day so make sure yours doesn't get overlooked. Make sure you persuade your potential customer to open the email by fitting the most interesting part of your message in the subject line. Avoid clichés like "monthly newsletter" or "save money now" as they won't stand out from the crowd.
3. Name your customer.
One way to make sure you grab your reader's attention is by including their first name in the subject line of your email. The reader will realize that the email has been personalized to meet their needs and they won't mistake it for a spam message. This can be easily done and is one of the best ways to significantly improve traffic to your website.
4. Choose the right day of the week.
There are certain days where people have more time to check their emails than others in the week. People are generally busier on Monday mornings and less likely to be checking their Inbox at the weekend. With this in mind, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often the best days to send an email out.
5. Be consistent with the time of day you send it.
If you regularly send out information to your subscribers, pick a time of day to send the email and stick to this time every week. This regularity often means that the potential customer will be expecting your email and be happy to take time to read it when it arrives.
6. Be accurate.
There is no worse sin in e-mail marketing than sending false information to your customers. They could become angry if they go to purchase a deal you have emailed them about and find out it doesn't exist. Make sure your links work too, as you will lose any customers who click on a link to find it doesn't take them to the page you promised. Errors like these, as well as bad spelling and punctuation, will make you look unprofessional and put customers off.
7. Let them leave when they want.
Although you might not want to let a potential customer go from your e-mail subscription list, it is important that there is a simple way for them to leave when they want. If you continue to email them about products or services they are not interested in, you will just anger them and they will be even less likely to use your business in the future.
Using the tips above can help you build strong email marketing newsletters your customers will enjoy.

Are asset prices in a bubble? If so, how much longer until that bubble bursts? According to Marc Faber, a legendary investor and editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, the bubble may already be in the process of blowing up.
Speaking in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Faber, a well-known bear on the United States economy and stock market, said that asset prices are in "a colossal bubble" and that it will inevitably come to an end. The end of the asset prices bubble may already be occurring, even though stocks have continued to move upwards.
For Faber, the very fact that stock prices have increased is the reason why he is so bearish, especially considering that there hasn't been a correction in the S&P 500 of more than 11 percent. Although there may not be correction anytime soon, the U.S. could suffer from a bear market.
"Obviously I've been wrong in the sense that I expected a correction to occur over the last two years, and it hasn't happened since October 2011, when the S&P was at 1,074," Faber averred.
"We've gone up in a straight line, without a larger correction than 11 percent, and I think we're not going to have a correction, but we're going to have a bear market."
What kind of drop could transpire in the S&P 500? Faber pegs it at 30 percent.
Economists were pleased to see last week that the U.S. labor market added about 288,000 jobs in the month of June. Despite the enthusiasm for this report, Faber doesn't think the U.S. or global economies are getting any better.
"I don't believe that the global economy is strengthening; I rather think the global economy is weakening," he said."There are other issues that may put the weight on the markets that will push prices lower. A, I think that we have in the White House, a very poor president, and that may lead to some political issues in the U.S. domestically. B, we have numerous political issues to consider, And C, we could have, potentially, a much higher oil price."
Faber isn't the only one talking about possible bubbles. The New York Times published an article Tuesday entitled "From Stocks to Farmland, All's Booming, or Bubbling: Prices for Nearly All Assets Around World Are High, Bringing Economic Risks," in which it looked at the soaring value of assets: Spanish sovereign debt, junk bonds, Manhattan office buildings, farmland and much more.
The New York newspaper wrote:
"The Everything Boom brings obvious economic risks. In the most pleasant outcome, global economic growth would pick up, causing today's expensive assets to begin looking more reasonably priced. But other outcomes are also possible, including busts in one or more markets that could create a new wave of economic ripples in a world economy still not fully recovered from the last crisis."
In the future, investors will only have two options: seek out returns lower than the historical norm or seek out ambiguous investments in the hopes of garnering an extra percent.

I don't know about you, but when I am done with a fitness session, I like to know I got the most out of my workout. Lets face it, we all got stuff to do, and as much as some of us would love to spend all day in the gym, life has other plans.
Here are five, simple ways to help you get a little more "juice for your squeeze" when you're working out.
Ask: If you are unsure whether you are doing something correctly, ask your instructor! Or, if you are new to a format like pilates, or say, kettlebells, you can always get up a private session. Great form = great gains, and as instructors, we want to help you do things correctly so you can get more out of them.
Load: Add a little more weight, or, in cycling, a little more resistance. You'll be amazed how it stokes that internal fire. Think of weight/resistance training like clothing; if you put too much on, you can always take some off.
Monitor: If you're like me, you like to see proof of how hard you've worked. I love to know how many calories I've burned and how long I can sustain a certain heart rate. Monitoring your Heart-Rate/Energy-Expenditure with a Heart- Rate Monitor/Movement-Monitor lets you know when you can say "bye, bye" to that cheeseburger! Plus, when you're trying to convince yourself your "giving it your all", the numbers don't lie.
Breathe: Breathing in and out seems pretty simple, right? But lots of times when we are working and focusing, we hold our breath. Your metabolism is like a fire, it needs oxygen to be stoked. No breath, no burn.
Focus: Be present, focus on the breathe, the muscle, and the burn. Allow your mind to connect and live only in that moment. This time is yours. Be selfish! Nothing else matters in these few minutes except your workout.
What you give, is what you get; so why not give 100%?

Pope Francis (L) meets Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank town of Bethlehem May 25, 2014..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
On Sunday morning, just in time for church, Pope Francis came to Bethlehem. The sun was bright, the sky was blue when the pope stepped off "Shepherd One" at the heliport in King David's hometown.In these Judean hills, David began composing timeless prayers, Psalms, worshiping the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. David's ancestral mother, Rachel, one of Jacob's wives, is buried here. Here too a great-grandmother named Ruth converted to Judaism. "Your God shall be my God," she said, and then married David's great-grandfather, Boaz, a wheat farmer. Because of its wellknown ancient wheat crop, the city's Hebrew name means "house of bread." No surprise then that King David's best-known descendant, also born here, framed his teaching of Judaism in terms of life-giving bread.

The MTA needs your help to choose the next best transit app.
The agency Wednesday unveiled 49 new apps as part of its App Quest competition, and commuters can vote for their favorite to take home the Popular Choice award (and take home $1,000) in the competition. The apps range from services that provide maps and directions to ones that give you information about underground musicians and more.
A panel of nine judges will decide on the official winners of the contest, giving away prizes for first place ($20,000) through third place ($5,000), as well as honors for Best MTA Wish List App ($2,000), the Large Organization Recognition Award (no cash) and two honorable mentions ($1,000 each).
Marissa Shorenstein of AT&T said the competition got judges with expertise in technology and transit, and that it highlights the ways technology is improving everyday life in the city.
"It really brings together our interest in innovation and accessibility to mobile technology," she said. "New Yorkers are always on the go and these apps will really help connect them to information to improve their commutes."
We've looked at all of the apps and rounded up our 10 favorites. To check out the competition and cast your vote for the best, head to 2013mtaappquest.challengepost.com.
Here are our faves:
This attractive, well-designed app tells you everything you need to know about your commute: Schedules, real-time arrivals for lines that have it, directions, location-based routing and more. Available on iOS and Android, free.
Another mapping app, this one separates itself from the pack by providing weather, disruption alerts, taxi price estimates, information on buses, bike directions and much more. Available on iOS, free.
MTA Information
This app provides all the basic transit information – schedules, trip planner and so on – but is one of the very few to do so for Windows phones. Free.
Bus New York City
It claims to be the most feature-rich city bus app available, and we're inclined to agree: find out when buses are set to arrive at your stop and get live information for some routes. Plus: service status, maps, trip planning and more. Available on iOS, $2.99.
How many times have you fallen asleep on the train and missed your stop? This creative app hopes to solve that problem. Using your phone's sensors, it can tell when the subway is in motion, and it will send an alarm alerting you that it's time to wake up and get off the train. Available on Android, free.
This beautiful app updates the MTA subway map in real-time and displays which lines are out of service or have disruptions. Available on iOS, free.
Want to know the status of your subway line without having to take the time to manually check? MyTransAlert lets you set up automatic notifications that tell you exactly when your train will get to your station, based on your proximity to that station. Available on iOS, free.
For all those times you love what you hear from a subway musician but have no way to look them up. This app aims to catalog all of the Music Under New York musicians, then let you snap a QR code that will lead you to more information about them. Available on iOS, free.
Subway NowMap
The subways run on a few main schedules – morning rush, evening rush, late nights, etc. – and this app visualizes the changes that happen on each line during each time period. Available via mobile Web browser at subwaynowmap.com.
Subway Fun Finder
Search for the best food, nightlife and entertainment based on which subway station you'll be exiting from, as well as reviews and information about each spot. Available via mobile Web browser at subwayfunfinder.com.

You have way too many images in your port. I will say it again and again, remove similar images from the same shoot. Decide which is the best and show this one and one only. As first mentioned, people will judge you by your worst image. If you have too many, a viewer may, and probably will miss the best one. After all, who has the time to go through so many?

Why artists love opera as a subject..
Opera is a rich resource for an artist, because there is no lack of material from which to draw inspiration. Dramatic- romantic - or just plain "theatrical" - it's all there!
Opera Posters
Opera posters are fun because a poster takes the subject to another level. Add to that, the results obtained by using special mixed media to give the subject a living appearance and the work becomes even more interesting. A poster can be as dramatic as it wants to be.
Even more than a traditional painting, the poster challenges the artist to capture the essence of its subject and create or convey a particular mood and as such, it can become a theatrical work in itself.
The great thing about opera art (and particularly posters), is that they are in a special class of their own – ideal for the opera enthusiast and the collector…or even someone who has little or no interest in opera at all- who just want's something a little more dramatic than a plain picture on a wall.
When the artist has done his job right, he hopes the person looking at the opera poster can almost hear the music of the opera and for those who have seen a performance of any particular work, it is hoped that the poster will bring the music back into their minds.
To the "uninitiated" it is hoped an opera poster can still bring out a certain feeling of the drama and perhaps even spark an interest to know more about it.
Often, while creating opera posters the artist will immerse themselves in the music of the particular opera just to get the feel of it.
This is because every opera has a different feeling or "flavour" that is particularly it's own. It is this essence or mood that the artist tries to capture.
These days, particularly in contemporary locations and homes, and in corporate settings, poster art has achieved recognition as a dynamic art form as never before. Whereas a conventional painting is frequently identified as a rather "passive" object- a poster can be (and often is) far more dramatic and theatrical and demands that even the most casual observer is drawn into it.
To many people, a framed poster can fill a space or create interest and set a mood on a wall better than most objects. Whether dramatic, even brutal, or gentle and romantic, it can be hard to ignore. Feel free to visit the poster gallery and see why opera and poster art is an ideal marriage of art forms.
Mixed Media and Assemblage Art
Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together various objects. It is therefore an ideal way to create artwork that appears more alive.
The origin of the word (in its artistic sense) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when Jean Dubuffet created a series of collages of butterfly wings, which he titled "assemblages d'empreintes". He was not the first exponent of the art, however, as both Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso had been working with "found objects" for many years prior to Dubuffet. They were also not alone.
Alongside Duchamp, the earliest woman artist to try her hand at assemblage was Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, the Dada Baroness. In addition, one of the earliest and most prolific was Louise Nevelson, who began creating her exciting sculptures from found pieces of wood in the late 1930s.
Today, as an artistic expression, the assemblage artist is not limited purely to "found objects"…he or she may combine things found in nature with manufactured objects. Indeed, some of the most powerful compositions can be combinations of the two.
In 1961, the exhibition "The Art of Assemblage" was featured at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition showcased the work of early twentieth century European artists such as Braque, Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Picasso, and Kurt Schwitters alongside Americans Man Ray, Joseph Cornell and Robert Rauschenberg, and also included less well known American West Coast assemblage artists such as Wallace Berman, Bruce Conner and Edward Kienholz.
William C Seitz, the curator of the exhibition, described assemblages as being made up of preformed natural or manufactured materials, objects, or fragments not intended as art materials.
Assemblage has an appeal and a language all of its own. Harnessing the power of an inanimate object, it can draw the viewer into seeing an object from a different perspective – whether it is part of another story or subject, or whether it is the story itself, it's inclusion in assemblage art can draw us in and invite us to see it through entirely different eyes.
This is because of the artist is able to put the spotlight on specific features of an object or its relationship to other things around it. Recognising this, many contemporary painters have incorporated inanimate objects into their paintings.
Australian artist, Brett Whitely frequently included objects or mediums to add a three dimensional aspect or a different texture to a part of a painting. Photo composition is commonly added. (See Opera Arts Poster "Ercole S'ul Termodonte" above).
Our featured "Opera Arts" artist likens it to "painting with bits and pieces"…although many of his works go beyond specific items as he also uses different materials as to create a specific effect or texture.
The pictured art above is a tribute piece to the Spoletto production of Vivaldi's "Ercole S'ul Termodonte" and features the American tenor, Zachary Stains.

When you no longer need the data from the Windows 8.1 installation, you can delete it. This data does not actually give any effect to the PC, it's just going to take some space on your PC's memory capacity.
Because of a burden on the computer, then you'll want to delete the installation data from the computer, to delete the data install Windows 8 and 8.1 is very easy but is quite tricky. In this article will be discussed thoroughly, until all the data has to move from your computer. Please follow each step.
How to Remove Data Install Windows 8 and 8.11. To delete the data install Windows 8.1, you must log onto the computer as an administrator. Go first to 'This PC.'
2. On the toolbar, click 'View.' In this option, you will be able to change the default settings of Windows on the data that can be viewed.
3. Search on the 'Show/hide.' Click the box next to 'Hidden items.' By default there will be a check mark. Remove the check mark. The data that is hidden will now be seen.

Now you've managed to delete the data install Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, do not worry about the side effects on the loss of these files, as far as I know the effect only becomes more computer storage space relief.

Emma's Choice, Op. 10, by Lou Martin
Albany, N.Y. — Lou Martin, senior Monroe mandolin disciple and Rounder Records solo artist, has announced the release of two more books self-published by Louis Martin Music BMI.
The first, Emma's Choice, Op. 10 is a compilation of 52 tunes from earlier American traditional music c. 1790-1850, a fascinating period whose music norms were different from the currently accepted and received tradition. An example: "Anacreon in Heaven," the drinking song that became "The Star Spangled Banner." $20.00 plus $4.00 shipping and handling.
The second, Lou Martin Newsletter, Volume One, January - December, 2009, is 92 pages long, and uses regular computer paper, not the heavy watermarked paper used for Lou's other books in order to keep the price down. All the text from the first year's monthly newsletters is here in chronological order, including all the music. Covers and format are the same as the other previously published books. Page numbers have been inserted, and there is a categorized table of contents, i.e. Prose Text, Reading the Notes, Tunes. $22.00 plus $5.00 S/H.
Standard notation only. All books published in heavy cover stock, 32 lb. watermarked paper, and standard classical format, comb-bound.

Flying mattress graduates - dock here!(507 Posts)
Hey chaps! Here's the space for us to witter on incessantly about our pregnancies!
20 week scan today and it was soooo fantastic! I'll post some pics on my profile later. The sonographer wasn't 100% sure, but thought that it was probably a girl, due to lack of visible meat and two veg!
Hope everyone's doing well! xxx
Woohoo, GTT came back normal. UP YOURS NHS!!!
And I get to tell the midwife tomorrow too, oh happy day!
Festie if it makes you feel any better, all I managed in the evening was sorting out the guest room and moving some more furniture back into the newly painted room- in the morning I had cleaned the kitchen and was halfway through the bathroom when the doorbell rang- I was praying it was the post, but it totally wasn't, lol!
While they were here, me and my mum have weeded the arse out of the garden, and not only strimmed but actually mowed it too- just doesn't look like our garden, looks like a proper one! We also took turns axing the shit out of the crab apple stump, but we just couldn't get the bugger out, so a bin bag has gone over it and we've covered it with mud. It shouldn't be able to grow back now...
Can't believe half your stuff's missing! With all the horror stories I've been hearing, it's making me not want to lend our baby stuff when we no longer need it, not even to family and friends! I think I'll only give stuff that I don't want back... certainly won't be parting with the moses basket, want to be able to pass it on to our kids... certainly worth a try asking about getting the stuff back, but might be a bit of a lost cause... still, no harm in trying.
I must get to the dentist and get my teeth filled or removed or whatever while it's free. Got a bloody great hole between 2 teeth, which I assume affects both, and it's been giving me grief for years- I don't believe in paying for stuff like that though, so just left it!
Lil sounds like Wickes' paint is a pain in the arse too. Really annoying as B&Q's paint is quite reliable, but I hate them as a company for overcharging on things like hooks and whatnot- really begrudge buying their stuff, but their paint is pretty good, and in a wide range of colours... sigh.
Can't believe some of the things you've been doing! I haven't been that bad. I do forget receipts in self-service checkouts sometimes, and I spent the whole of a game earlier referring to dominoes as dice, but in my defence, my dad had been doing it first so he put it in my head! Also I put a towel wash on, and totally forgot to put the bathmat in... and there were only 5 things to go in, including that! Had to stop the wash, bung it in, and start again. Silly...
Weighed myself this morning for the first time in 2 weeks, and put 5lb on. Poo. Was crap at exercise last week, but been really good this week, although still bad with the eatings. Hmm. Will have to get my act together as I have the weigh in at the consultant appointment on 30/07, and I want to have lost weight and be all awesome!
The wild boar sausages were quite nice, everyone liked them, although they weren't amazing or anything. Nice butcher though, so might go try some more of his exotic fare...
That's great news Rus, so pleased for you and hah to the MW! Does this mean you can use the MLU now? You deserve it the way you have lost weight even when pg. Congrats!
Sounds like I will have to go to B&Q next time as can't put up with doing 3/4 coats every time.
I really need to get an NHS dentist sorted soon. I am a wimp about the dentist thought so haven't been for years and dreading it but as it is the only time I'm going to get it free I need to bite the bullet and just do it.
My DH would say I do bonkers stuff normally but being pg is def making it worse.
Hi Flour and Chips hope you are both ok and bumps are growing well.
<waves at Festie>
Yay for normal GTT Rus! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it NHS!
Just a quickie cos I've got to take ds to the dentist. It's a bit difficult to sort out stuff with ex's dw. We get on fine, but, to be fair, she took the clothes out of the loft when she was pg, before me and dh had even decided to ttc, so she didn't know I was going to want them. I just feel a bit cos she nicked my partner, moved into my family home and then took the clothes we had dressed our dcs in to dress their new baby!!!! It's my problem, I do realise that!!
Anyway. Did lots of baby washing this weekend, so feel like I've at least made a start in sorting stuff. Now I just need to convince myself to buy the new pushchair!
Anyway, need to go, will catch up properly later! Hope everyone's ok!
Hi ladies, hope it's as sunny for all of you as it is for me here!
Lil don't know whether they'll let me in the MLU, think it's the consultant's decision... will ask when I see them. Gulp. Better lose some weight!
Been frightening myself over stillbirth statistics- going to be counting the kicks from now on, printed off a chart here:
You need to start from 28 weeks, so I'm about a fortnight late, but I'm going to be totally on it from now!
Really glad we've got a growth scan at 36 weeks so we can check to make sure there aren't any complications or umbilical nooses so close to due date, trying not to freak out, sure it will all be fine, but want to make sure I know Peanut's patterns inside out so I can spot if anything is wrong.
Don't we ever get to stop worrying??!!?
Festie I need to do some baby washing too. Went through all the baby clothes I've bought with my mum, and she says I've got way more than she ever had for either of us... feel guilty now! Will have to be more discriminatory in charity shops. Repeat to self: 26 babygrows for 0-3m is enough... Lol.
I'm going to have a list of things I do need to look out for, like jeans or skirts or whatever for particular age brackets, and obviously if there's something awesome I'll get it, but I need to rein it in now, I think.
Parents have left the baby gate they got with us so we can see if it's feasible to fit one at the top of the stairs, but have a feeling we're screwed no matter what we try. Don't want one on their bedroom so they're caged in like an animal, but not sure how else to stop them going flying down the long flight of stairs... Hmm.
Right, got to go get baby spinach and compulsory exercise. Then when I get back maybe pull out one of the board game bookcases and empty it to get access to the hole in the floor where the latest wave of mice appears to be coming from- sigh. Got some metal lattice to fix over it though, so hoping it'll stop them getting up through there. Better not be chew holes in my bookcase!
Advice needed!
School has hand, foot and mouth going around. Went out this am as as soon as I got back they put me in the office to keep away from the children and sent me home. It is now up to me what I do - stay home until it blows out or go back tomorrow as usual.
>MW has said that I am probably immune but no blood test available to check
>It is highly contagious between children, adults rarely catch it but can get it more than once. (Don't think I have ever had it)
>Spread through coughs, sneezes and unwashed hands.
>If you get it when pg it is unlikely to harm the baby.
>There is some limited evidence that catching hand, foot and mouth disease during pregnancy may result in miscarriage in very rare cases.
Chances are all will be fine but DH says any risk isn't worth it, I am worrying about the impact on my class and other staff / money to pay supply but also would never forgive myself if I am the rare case and something happens
WWYD? I wish someone would just tell me what to do as I am torn and see both sides.
Sorry for the long me me me post, I hope you are all ok and will post properly when I've calmed down and de stressed abit.
Oh lil, I can understand your concern and your worry about you, the baby and the school. It sounds as if school have your best interests at heart, so why not take their lead and stay away until it's all blown over? So, they'll have to get supply staff in, but frankly, that's not your problem, and as you say; you'd never forgive yourself if you were affected. xx
Thanks Festie I am at home till Friday and school have been really good about it. They rang yesterday saying they also have a case of chicken pox but MW thinks I'm ok with that as I had it when I was younger. At least I have got some time to write reports and sort things out so less stress and more rest.
Rusulka sorry to hear your mouse battle is continuing!
I haven't bought any clothes yet - do you have many newborn things or are you going for mainly 0-3 months? Bit worried if I stock up on newborn they might not use them.
DH was listening to bump the other day and felt a kick on his head was lovely he got to actually feel baby and convinced me that I'm not imagining the movements. Not counting kicks yet though as don't think they are regular enough but do tend to feel him every day now which is nice.
Festie I would feel the same about the ex's dw - couldn't believe it when you said you had lent them to her! Thought you must be amazing to have that kind of relationship (or they had got together after you and ex broke up and were ok about it) Hearing more of the story I don't think I could bring myself to acknowledge her let alone lend baby clothes for their new family, you're a bigger woman than me x
I'm glad school is being so understanding lil. And 'yay,' to a bit of extra marking/chilling time!
It's difficult to say what size to go for. It varies so much! M&S newborn stuff is 7.5 llbs which was great for me - all my babies have been 6-7llbs; a trend I'm hoping will continue with this one - but my mate's were both over 10llbs, so they were straight into 0-3 months! Mothercare newborn stuff is 10llbs I think, so a safer size to go for. I personally liked having the smaller stuff for the first month, but then, my babies were little. It's a bit of a lottery though!
Aw, it's lovely that your dh has felt movement! Dh has tried to, but Cleetus stops moving as soon as he so much as looks at my bump, the little minx!
I'm sure I'm not a bigger woman than you (well maybe in arse size). I've always got on with ex's dw; even though she pursued him while we were together. The thing is; my kids love her; she's a great step-mum and they have always been my priority. I was damned if the crappy behaviour of their Dad and his 'younger model' was going to screw them up.
Anyway, it's dh's ex who's causing problems at the moment. After announcing that her and her dh were splitting, things went quiet and they seemed to be sorting it out amicably. However, this weekend, we had dh's kids staying with us, and as they were getting ready to go home we get a call. Her dh has discovered she recently slept with two other men, has gone mental and kicked her out! Thus dh's 2 are living with us while she finds them somewhere to live!! That's 5 kids in two (small) bedrooms!!! Poor little buggers, they're coping really well, but it's not really fair on them at all!
Anyway, in pregnancy news, I am rolling into the 3rd trimester feeling decidedly sweaty, big and knackered! Defiinitely slowing down big time now! I also finally bit the bullet and bought my pram today! Hooray!!! I am absurdly excited, particularly as its purple! (sad)
Hope everyone is well. rus, you still being mentally productive?!
Festie only mentally productive in the sense that in my head I can get all this stuff done, then plan it, then.... don't do it.
Sounds like things are manic your end, I wish people would put aside their issues to consider the kids first. Grr.
And the first pram I looked at was purple too! But it was so huge and clunky, and wouldn't have fitted in any car except my mum's zafira... happy with my mothercare 3 wheeler though. It may be grey, but I'm going to accessorise with brightly coloured toys and blankets, and a red parasol!
Lil sorry to hear of your school infestation woes, I think you're better off at home too, it isn't worth the risk. Sod school, they have to be prepared for this kind of thing, and like you said, you get some more time to get stuff done- it's like a mini-half term before the last 3 weeks of term! And I bet you need it as well.
Re: clothes, I've only bought 0-3 months, although some of the charity shop ones say they're newborn- Gap seems to think a newborn is 12.5lb, so, erm, yeah, whatever! <fervently hopes Peanut is not that big>
My thinking was, a regular size baby will fit in 0-3 and won't need newborn clothes, neither will a big one, and if we have a smaller one, then I can get some smaller clothes IF we need them. Or they can just be buried in clothes for a little while and lump it, no biggie!
No more mice since the one when my parents were here (that the dog never noticed. Crap dog!) which is just as well since I still haven't put that metal mesh over the hole. [rubbish Rus emoticon]
Spent the past few days busily washing washing washing, trying to take advantage of the sunny weather. With all the stuff I'd bought, I had 4 coloured loads (1 bright, 1 paler, 1 dark, 1 new stuff that might run), 4 white loads, and 1-2 mixed new where there's colour & white on the same stuff- I'm doing the 2nd to last white one now, will do the other white when DH gets home from late night and bung his week's shirts in with it, and I need to buy colour catchers before I wash the new stuff and the mixed stuff. Oh, and there's blankets and other stuff to handwash too, but not much thankfully!
Made the mistake of putting in a red & white polka dot coat with the colours, some of which I recently dyed purple, only for the white velvet ribbon trim to come out suspiciously lilac, so have a feeling I may have ruined that one. I'm so crap at washing beyond the basic bung it in and go. Have lots of angora stuff I daren't ever wash after I ruined my favourite cardigan (and covered the rest of the wash in red fluff)... still makes me sad to think about it.
Shopping for little P nearly all done now- got my moses basket sheets- 2 from Wilkinson for a fiver and 4 secondhand off eBay, and I'm going to get my cot sheets from John Lewis as their basic ones are £15 for 3- which is £11.25 with my discount. Works out a little cheaper than everywhere else, so 2 packs and I'm sorted. Other than that... it's just getting FiL to pull his finger out and get the play gym, and maybe figure out the baby gate problem. So now I can just mooch in charity shops at clothes, with my
little A4 tally chart so I know what I've already got, and just keep an eye out for nice things. No more babygrows! No more jeans for 6-9m, that kind of thing. Might write a clothing wishlist based on a sensible sized wardrobe for a baby, and try to stick to that...
Also we've been reading to bump every night.
Other than that, just getting things ready, clean, accessible, and thinking about hospital bag... oh, and wondering if I'm a jelly short of a party for planning to travel up to Norwich on the train when I'll be 8 months!!!
Bought £100-worth of stuff on Mothercare website just to take advantage of their 10% off, so that's Peanut's birthdays and christmases sorted for the next few years, lol. I'm going to sit and work out how much
we've I've spent so far, and I bet it's eye-watering. I'm also going to work out what of that was actually necessary. Keep your eyes peeled for a wince-worthy financial update!
Good gravy, I've done an essay again, must have missed you or something.
Yes, I have to admit I have loved being at home for the last few days and actually feel human again. Nearly up to date with work, the house is fairly tidy and I have slept! Don't want to go back to work on Monday now and really can't wait for mat leave to start
I need to get organised too Rus. We have our 20 week scan on Wednesday so after that will have to get on with it. Dh is bidding on some bits on ebay and we have chosen pram and cot bed so have started at least. Still have your list which is going to be a godsend.
Will wait with baited breath for the financial update - I think I would be too scared to work it out - particularly the unnecessary bit!
Dh has been listening to bump and I talk to it during the day but like the idea of reading to it. My friend used to sing to her bump each night but if I do that it might not be quite so relaxing!
PiL visiting tonight. Only stopping one night so nothing like your epic visits Rus!
Think I will go with mainly 0-3 months and maybe throw in a couple of newborn just in case I manage my tiny sneeze birth dream! (although if I prepare only for a big baby maybe I'll be more likely to get a littler one )
I love your attitude Festie and hope that I could look at it in the same way, poor kids though, hope something better is sorted out soon.
Pram sounds great, I love purple. ATM we are deciding between red and cream for ours (sadly they don't do it in purple, only bright pink [yuck])
Better go and make Dh some dinner as I am currently playing good housewife!
Get red Lil, it won't show the muck so much!
Really fighting with washing these whites, they just get dirty so easily... really tempted to just dye everything purple- muslins, bedding... I mean, some of them have dirty marks from where they touched the line on the rotary airer. ARGH! I can't work with this!!!
DH has so far been reading some of childhood favourites- he was reading Fungus the Bogeyman last week, and he read Fox in Socks at my request- tripped over nearly the whole thing, which was quite funny, but I felt terrible for giving him a tongue twister to read! I've read some picture books including Where the Wild Things Are, but I'm planning on reading lots of Dr Seuss.
I know what you mean about preparing for a big baby- sod's law dictates we'll get tiddlers! But rather that than have to try and squeeze out a huge baby which then gets stuck like I saw on One Born Every Minute- eep!
I'm kind of hoping that my body just gets on with it, and my contractions happen so fast that before we can really react I have to get in the bath cos she's crowning... anything to get out of going to hospital!
Although realistically if I'm honest, I'd be happier to be there just so they can check everything's ok. Ah well. Not long to wait now to see what happens...
Ooh, definitely red over cream lil! You'll be kicking yourself when it looks grubby after five minutes! Very exciting about your scan. Are you going to find out the flavour?!
See, you're still putting us all to shame with your proactive organisation, rus! I know what you mean about white stuff though. Babies look gorgeous in it, but it's so unpractical! I bought this lovely little white cardi. Washed it lovingly in gentle fairy non-bio, and left it on top of the washing basket to be put away. Within an hour, it had a brown stain on it (dh blamed the kids, but it looked like coffee to me ). So, washed it again in fairy, but of course, that didn't sort out the stain. Had to do the whole stain remover, nasty bio thing and then REWASH in fairy - ffs!
Feeling a bit sorry for myself. Sat cross-legged for an hour yesterday and ruined my pelvis: ouchy, ouch ouch!
Still, it's quiet here now. Dh's kids gone back to Mum's, who's sorted a rental property, but while that's going through has rebuilt enough bridges with her stb-ex, so they can carry on living in the house while it's sorted out!
So definitely a weekend of baths, rest and NO MORE sitting cross-legged!
Have a great weekend all! xxx
I think red for that same reason but Dh likes the cream so need to try to consider it objectively!
Festie sorry about the pelvis, I can definately sympathise. A hot bath is fab but I can't seem to sit or lie comfortably for more then 15 mins.
Glad things are getting sorted for the kids and you can now have some rest.
Rus I saw that OBEM too - was cringing when I saw how big it was. Sadly I was 9lb and my cousin has gave birth to a 10lb 3 baby so guess big babies are in the genes.
Haven't even thought about clothes yet. MiL has bought a couple of bits and DH won a baby grow from ebay, all of which are white so not looking forward to the washing. However as we aren't finding out the flavour (unless one of us cracks at the last minute) I guess we will be getting lots of white!
Lil I joined the sainsbury's baby club or whatever it's called, and got a voucher for £10 off their kidswear, or maybe it was in my bounty pack, can't remember... but they have some ok baby stuff, not as cheap as other places though. I tried to keep neutral with mine but that doesn't mean white!!!
Here are some of the ones I got in M&S:
and of course Asda have a decent range, including:
I have a restraining order preventing me from buying more babygrows, but don't forget you could get a secondhand bundle off eBay, that often works out quite cheap.
Bear in mind that though you may not want to know, it might be ahem, fairly obvious, especially if there's a little pair of balls waving around in there!
And don't do what my MiL did- spent her whole pregnancy thinking it was a girl, then got DH, and her first moments with him were about being miffed. I felt really strongly that Peanut was a girl, right from the beginning, and we wanted to know so we could prepare better, but also to avoid that happening.
Regards your DH liking cream- you could always say you'll go along with it provided he agrees it's his job to clean any muck off- and there'll be lots. You could tell him about the mud splashes on my old changing bag, which despite being washed with stain remover, will NOT budge... and that's on pink. Ask if he would buy a white car... then if he says no as they always look filthy, then why is a pushchair/ pram any different? I'm sure he'll soon see the practical side of things.
Festie sorry to hear about your pelvis. Over the last week I've had a kind of weird ache between my legs- sort of in a cone shape around my downstairs, feels like a cross between the ache from cystitis and the feeling you get after riding a bike for the first time in ages... it's especially bad when I've been sat on a hard surface, and generally hurts when I try to lift my legs or move in bed. Weird! Think it's just my pubic bone dicking about, or muscles relaxing, or Peanut pressing on something. Not much fun either way.
Earlier on today I had the most painful Peanut movement yet- it was just to the left of my bellybutton, and felt like she'd grabbed a length of my intestines and twisted in opposite directions. Ow! Don't know what the hell it was, but she's bobbing about quite merrily in there now, poking me in the ribs for fun, etc. so she's obviously fine. Little git... Becoming more and more convinced though that there's a mini me in there, oh christ, what am I going to do??!? Lol.
Managed to lose 4lb somehow this week so am ecstatic, hoping for a repeat performance next week so I can go to consultant weigh-in appt with head held high knowing I have a decent chance of convincing them to let me give birth where I want... Starting off with a bowl of midget gems probably wasn't my best idea though.
Ha ha rusulka - I was going to say the exact same thing: if your dh wants the cream lil, he has to agree to be responsible for cleaning it!!
I've got those stripey vests from m&s, rus! They are gorgeous. I also got some lovely unisex baby grows from next. Hang on, I'll find a link... here
My pram arrived yesterday!! It's ace. But now I've got to wait 10-14 weeks to use it! Frustrating!
Although I'd love this baby to come a bit early, I am actually also hoping she'll hang on till due date. My brother is getting married, and his wedding party is a week before my due date! It's a 4 hour round trip and a stay overnight. He's got lots of mates coming, but since our Dad died last year, and our Mum is too disabled/incontinent/doolally to come, I'm the only family member coming!!!!! Flipping mental innit? I've found an alrightish dress, but I'm still going to look like a giant heffer!
Pelvis much better thanks, and I've bought myself a fan to cope with the humid weather we're having here. Also had a good midwife appt. She was quite keen to go over delivering baby with dh, just in case we don't get to the hospital in time!!!!!! She was also trying to reassure me that when I get to hospital I won't have to go straight down to delivery; I can stay in ante-natal, where I should be able to walk about, go to the cafe etc. She then went onto say, "quite often there's no beds in delivery, so they end up delivering in ante-natal anyway! I suppose that's what comes of having one hospital for the whole county!
Wow, I've wittered. Hope you're doing ok. Counting down to hols now lil, I expect.
Oh, and after emptying the other eave, found more baby stuf I thought I'd lost, so feel like I owe ex's dw an apology!
Well well well well done on the weight loss rus - I don't know how you're doing it, but I'm sure you must be on track to deliver where the hell you want to, particularly with your normal GTT as well!
Festie I got some from Next too, the two pack where one is covered in red hippos!
Great that you found more stuff in the eaves, don't worry about slagging people off behind their back, I do it all the time, it makes you feel better. And great news on the behaving pelvis! I don't get my pram until after Peanut is born. In the meantime it's in Norwich, waiting for the big day, and it'll come down when my parents visit little P for the first time.
I have midwife jealousy! She hasn't even mentioned delivery since the booking in appointment, and that was only to say no way in hell to the midwife led unit...
really hope I lose some more weight this week, but we shall have to see.
Someone on my September thread had their baby yesterday- but her due date was 23/09! He only weighed about 2lb 6oz, went to NICU but is apparently fine... got the rest of us in a tizz about getting the bloody hospital bag sorted though, lol. Someone's been a bit pants and bought a ready prepared one from eBay as they 'weren't sure what to put in' (yes, because nightie, towel, knickers, pads, clothes, baby clothes, nappies and wet wipes is so hard to work out, grr) I'm going minimalist with mine, then I can just carry it everywhere in case...lol... have to take notes everywhere anyway, and half of what I usually carry in my bag is needed, so might as well add the odd few things to make it official.
Am seriously doubting whether going to stay with my parents for a week at 8 months is a good idea! But I'll be buggered if I'm staying at home when I've forked out for tickets.
First antenatal class tonight! Can't believe I only get 2, had some misguided idea that there'd be a whole string of them... even if I wanted NCT classes, there aren't any close enough for me to get to, so this will have to do (not that I intend to listen to what anyone else has to say, ha!)
Have fun with all that washing Festie
Thanks Rus I've joined a few baby clubs but don't think I did sainsburys, will have to add that one. Did join Boots but not heard anything from them yet although people have said you get a free change bag which will be handy.
I can't believe someone has had their baby already - scary - although my friend had hers a month early.
You can buy a ready made hospital bag from ebay!?!?!?!? Why?
Continually amazed by your weight loss and if the mw etc can't see what you've achieved it's a bloody bad job.So hoping you get the MLU.
Glad you are feeling better Festie, the fan is a good idea I might steal.
Also pleased you have found some more clothes, don't worry about blaming exp-w, she won't know and a bit of letting off steam sometimes is needed.
I'm sure you don't look huge and everyone will spend the day telling you how glowing you are! I'm trying to find a dress for weddings too - one in a few weeks and one in sept, hoping I can find one that will do for both but everything I try on makes my boobs look enormous and does nothing for my ever expanding arse! Going to look in Barnstaple at the weekend - my new thought is all the stretchy/empire line/maxi dresses around might do the trick if I just get a bigger size.
Had our scan yesterday - all the right bits in the right places and didn't ask the sex. Sonographer was lovely and explained what she was doing and looking for as she went along but did say even she doesn't know the sex as baby had it's legs crossed. Feeling relieved that all is ok and looking forward to having a surprise on the day.
Once all was fine we went and paid the balance on the nursery furniture and Dh was straight on the net ordering the pram (red) - it really is going to happen
I'm definately counting down - 2 weeks and 2 days to go
Hope you are both ok (and anyone else who is hanging around!)
Yay! Congratulations lil on a lovely scan! There's nothing like the 20 week scan to bring home the imminent arrival of a baby! Stretchy/empire type dresses are the way forward I think. The one I've got is basically that kind of cut, but it is maternity since, at 39 weeks I'm going to need all the help I can get! I got it on eBay, but they have a website - heavenly bump. here's the dress I got!
Bloody hell rus! I've been lurking on that board. She was only due a week before me!!!! Glad all is well for baby though. It just goes to show, doesn't it?! From what I've read, your babies all tend to be born at about the same time, so I'm assuming this one will be about on time: dd1 was plucked out at 38 weeks (Pre-eclampsia and she was breech), but ds1 arrived 40+3 and dd2 at 40+1, so I'm assuming I'll make my brother's wedding, but this baby could have other ideas!
Buying ready filled hospital bags though?! That's just the height of laziness isn't it?! Also, it takes all the fun out of it. I like making lists and organising stuff (possibly the teacher in me?!) even if the purchases are maternity pads and nipple cream!!!
I love the hippo baby grows! Next have some lovely stuff at the mo, but I can justify any more purchases now. We've got plenty! (I have a Next account though, so it's fatally tempting!)
Keep that countdown going lil - not long now! My internal countdown has a later date in mind: I'm on 12 weeks and 2 days today!
Lil Boots take bloody ages to get back to you, they're a pain in the arse... and you only get the free changing bag when you buy pampers nappies, which I'm not getting! Prefer huggies newborn as they have the umbilical cut out in size 1. But nothing wrong with getting a couple of different makes to experiment with and see what's right for your baby, I just already had a changing bag so it wasn't worth it for me.
Glad all was well with the scan, it's really nice to see the difference from that and the last one isn't it? And amazing how they can't fit all of them on the screen at once... my 36 week scan is going to be weird- the same focus level that saw Peanut when she was naught but a a little monkey nut with a heartbeat will probably only fit her nose on now, lol.
Festie that dress is gorgeous, sigh... but I swore not to buy any maternity clothes, so I guess that counts me out. Have plenty of wraparound dresses at home, but would love some more maxi dresses...
I saw the loveliest set in Next for Peanut- it was the babygrow with the pink tutu and tights- thought it was lovely, but after seeing the £20 price tag, and realising that the tutu was actually separate... well, I'd be murdered for buying more babygrows, and probably murdered again for effectively spending £20 on a pair of tights and a bit of net with elastic!
Going to look on eBay for a tutu, I think...
Got my cot sheets and some (soft) baby shoes from JL on Thursday, so we're nearing the end of prep now, just need to sort out the changing-come-hospital bag... which I've been trying to clean the ingrained mud/oil splats off from cycling in traffic with it, but to no avail. Stain remover, biological, vanish, stardrops, orange oil grease remover, lakeland grease remover... in the end I gave up! At least if nothing else, it's clean now...
Yesterday after I finished chatting to my dad on the phone, I heard a trap go off in the cupboard- fuck.
Then I started hearing squeaking- I was really hoping it was just another mouse going "Frank! Oh my god, Frank!" but unfortunately when I got there to look, 2 traps had gone off, 1 with a mouse caught in the usual way, and one mouse with it's arse trapped in the thing. In an emotionally detached way, it was quite hilarious, but on a human level- when I got the gloves on to move them, the one with it's bum trapped was still alive, struggling and squeaking. It's a horrible moment when you realise you're going to have to kill something to put it out of its misery, but I couldn't leave it to bleed internally, so I got the 3rd trap, put its head in it and managed to get it to go off properly after an unsuccessful attempt- probably because tears were streaming down my face while I apologised profusely to this poor little mouse. After leaving it long enough to make sure it had 'gone', I buried them both in the lime tree pot. I felt like such a monster, but I knew I'd done the right thing. Ruined my day though, and couldn't really do anything after that.
Wow, epic post from me today.
To end on a less grim note, Peanut has been amusing me by doing weird stuff to my insides- I had a hideous twisting pain a few days on the phone, then read in a mum & baby mag that at 32 weeks (which I am according to NHS) the baby can open their eyes, look around and start grabbing things... I think someone found the umbilical cord and wondered what would happen if she yanked it... also, I had a weird feeling inside my lower ribs- the nearest I can describe it is it felt like she was doing that mime thing- I'm in a box!- and feeling around the space, found my ribcage, wrapped her hands round it and was feeling to see what it was- cue the most ticklish and bizarre feeling for me ever!
Sorry all to hijack your thread but just have to post and say;
stalked searched for you as have thought of you often over the last year and was wondering how you're getting on, I'm so excited to see you are expecting.
Others- Lilliana and I were on the same ttc thread last year when I got my BFP. I now have baby Charlotte who is nearly 4 months. (So so so delighted to have a girl, as already have DS and DH was adamant that we are only having 2). I went on to an antenatal thread but never loved it as much as the ttc threads and kind of gave up.
Good luck all of you with your pregnancies- exciting times!
Darn... Thought I'd name changed back for posting... I used to be Reallea.
Rusulka, just read your post abou the mice... Poor you!
Wow my first stalker!! - I never thought I was memorable enough for anyone to remember me Thanks Reallea we're so thrilled to finally be pg and you've weirdly made my day by stalking me!
Congratulations on your little girl, I'm really pleased everything is ok with you. I loved the conception threads too but find the ante natal threads huge and can't keep up hence the random due dates on this one - we just wanted to keep in touch whatever month we were due in.
Rus how traumatising, so sorry for you and the mouse but it was the best thing to do rather than let it suffer. Hopefully it will help produce some lovely limes.
I had a weird twisting sensation the other day - felt like baby had grabbed hold of my stomach and squeezed. I can't wait until I can feel/see proper movements.
Am a little jealous you get another scan, was amazing to see how much it has grown already.
Feastie I love the dress you have. Went for an epic shop and tried on every stretchy dress in sight but just looked horrible in them all - think I am going to stick with a maxi dress I own, even though it is a little old- I like it and feel ok in it (apart from a couple of ominous snicks when I squeezed my boobs into it!)
How far away is your brothers weddiing? You may need to make sure DH doesn't drink in case an emergency trip is needed.
Reports finished so now just have to hope that our head doesn't decide to dump anything else on us last minute and we can have a chilled end of term.
Well ladies, it's not good news.
Despite weighing 2lb less than when I found out I was PG, as far as the consultants are concerned, I'm still medium risk because of my BMI, which means no water birth and no Midwife Led Unit.
When I pressed them for more information, it turns out your BMI has to be less than 30. Bearing in mind mine is about 39 at the moment, there's just no way in hell I could have achieved it.
I just wish someone had said that at the beginning. If I'd known in February or March that I wouldn't get a water birth unless I lost 4 stone, then I'd have known it was impossible, shed my tears and moved on.
To find out about 6 weeks before I'm likely to give birth is just so upsetting. I feel like the hospital staff have been really unprofessional in giving me false hope like that. I hate it when people tell you no, but don't give you the reason- I just wish I'd known...
On the plus side, I don't have a UTI, my SPD isn't severe enough to be referred to physio, they're not bothered about my reflux, I can sleep on whatever side I want, they think I'm doing so well with my weight that I should just be signed back over to midwife care, and BP, Peanut's heartbeat and measurements are all fine. They're really pleased with my progress, I'm just gutted about the whole birth thing...
And DH wasn't even with me to cry on- he's a bit ill and we've realised we really need to tighten the purse strings after my liberal spending, so it worked out better for me to just leave him at home and take his bus pass to avoid the £5 bus fare. Now I'm home, he's drawn up a menu ('DH's cafe') by looking in all the cupboards and promises to feed me whenever I like. And hugs are on the house! So lucky to have him.
Please / Reallea thanks for the note about the mice. As Lil says, hopefully we'll get some awesome limes.
Speaking of Lil, glad someone else feels like they've got twisty things going on!
Don't worry about being in old dresses. The main thing is that you're comfy, and everything I'm wearing is pretty old too.
I think the scan is to check Peanut isn't enormous. So something else for me to worry about! I guess we can see how much she weighs, which will give us a rough idea of expected birth weight, and see if there are any prospective problems, like the cord being somewhere in the way, and make sure she's head down... although in every appointment I've had, I think she's been head down. It would be true to her character though to turn round at the last minute just for shits and giggles!
Oh bloody hell rus! That's complete pants! At least be straight with you from the start! In my last 3 pregnancies I had no requests, just did what I was told like a good girl - all fine. With dd1, there was the shock at 36 weeks that I both had Pre-eclampsia and baby being breech and watching my lovely 'natural' birth disappearing over the horizon as a c-section was booked. I was gutted. It's a crappy feeling - I really empathise. And then this time, I make what I think is an informed, reasonable request, to be told categorically NO. It seems to me that this illusion of choice that the nhs tries to perpetuate is just a myth. They prefer us to roll up to hospital to be good little girls, lying on our backs in some sort of baby producing factory line.
Ooh, ranty rant rant!
Thank you for the kind words about my dress. I was just glad to find something that fitted and wasn't black! lil - I think going for something you're comfortable in is the way forward definitely! His wedding is exactly a week before my due date - 22nd September, so dh definitely won't be drinking just in case! Sorry dh!
Hey please/reallea - no probs! Think you made lil's day!
Oh rus - I really feel for you re the mouse. I think it would have done me in! Well done for dealing with it quickly and humanely!
Did you see on the ttc thread, both discolite and count have got BFPs?!!!! I think they're both waiting till they're a bit more relaxed and further along before they move across, but what lovely news!

Religious or Ethnic Group
The Salafi Movement, whose adherents are known as Salafis or Salafists, is a movement within Sunni Islam whose adherents aim to emulate the practices of the first three generations of Islam, the salaf. Salafis consider these first three generations to be exemplary Muslims.
There are different currents within Salafism with contrasting religious interpretations and practices, but the movement as a whole is characterised by a literalist approach to religious texts and a rejection of any form of innovation in religious practice, known as bid'ah in Arabic. Salafism is widespread in Gulf countries, and is dominant among the ruling elite of Saudi Arabia.
The spread of the Salafi movement in the modern era came about largely as a result of the proselytisation of the 18th century Saudi scholar Mohammed ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. He called on Muslims to reject modern innovation and return to the practices of the salaf as he interpreted them. The word 'Wahhabi' is sometimes used synonymously with 'Salafi', although most Salafis consider this offensive, maintaining that they follow the salaf, not ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab.
The term 'Salafi-Jihadi' is another term to describe the small minority of Salafis who believe that violent struggle is justified – or even required. Salafi-Jihadism is characterised by an extreme rejection of states that adopt modern political concepts such as democracy and secularism, and violence against those whom Salafi-Jihadis consider non-Muslim, often including adherents of other forms of Islam, such as Shia.
It is noteworthy that a modernist Salafi movement also developed in the 19th and 20th centuries, influenced in particular by scholars and thinkers such as Mohammed Abduh and Rashid Rida, who helped to reconcile a traditional interpretation of Islam with the modern world.

Threatened by manmade development, invasive species, and the pesticide DDT, the Cahow has been on the brink of extinction for over 4 centuries .This against all odds story about a man, a ghost bird and a struggle for survival takes a dramatic turn, when the bird faces a greater threat: global warming. Ravaged by a recent hurricane what will David and his successor Jeremy do to save the species once again from oblivion? Rare Bird is their tale of hope, inspiration and commitment to the future of all species.

One of the Masterpieces of film >> sculpted in time by Tarkovsky. Is love eternal or a fleeting illusion ?? I love this film ~ 420
More an exploration of inner than of outer space, Tarkovsky's eerie mystic parable is given substance by the filmmaker's boldly original grasp of film language and the remarkable performances by all the principals.
Wow! This Andrey Tarkovsky's movie is amazing! One of the best science fictions films! Natalya Bondarchuk is beautiful! A bit different from the book of Stanislaw Lem, but I like movie more!
One of the masterpieces of science fiction filmmaking- just a beautiful, mesmerizing, thought provoking film.
Poor Andrei! When author Stanislaw Lem saw this film he hated it and scathingly criticized everything about it. Given the budgetary and other restrictions under which Tarkovsky had to work, I consider it a masterpiece. Tarkovsky himself regarded Solaris as his least successful film, but never explained exactly why he felt that way. In the early 1970's the original subtitled cinema release was withdrawn and replaced by an absolutely awful version overdubbed by some language institute in Paris. At the time of this writing (July 2017) a newly restored copy of the film is available to art-house theaters. The worst insult Solaris suffered was when Steven Soderberg decided to do a remake. At first I was enthused with the idea, because Lem's mimoids, symmetriads, asymmetriads and other phenomena of the planet Solaris would present an amazing challenge for modern state-of-the-art computer generated imagery (given an adequate budget). Alas, Soderberg produced a muddled and uninspired mess. (on it's release a well known female film critic quipped "the only thing worth seeing in this movie was George Cloony's gorgeous naked butt".
Amazing film- it asks serious questions about the nature of consciousness and ultimately, what it means to be human.
About as much about sci-fi as Citizen Kane is about the newspaper business. But if you'd like to find out something about the persistence of human emotion and memory, this is the place to go
A couple of key thematic differences from the book.
A very slow moving film; scratches/ skipping at the beginning and the end seriously mar the enjoyment of the film (I never found out what the letter to Kris at the end contained).
One of the masterpieces of science fiction filmmaking - the lame American remake couldn't hold a candle to the original. A very deep film with many meanings- that require multiple viewings to appreciate.
