The dreaded picture... When I started writing this column over a year ago, I really, really did not want a picture of myself printed! I've always enjoyed reading the other columns in The Leader and appreciated the pictures that went along with them. It gives readers a chance to associate names with faces... I guess that I just was not sure a picture could be taken that wouldn't make my family and friends run for the hills! Even after Oakdale Leader Editor Marg Jackson asked my daughter to send a picture of me in for the column, it ...

Last week we stopped what we were doing to remember those lives lost on September 11, 2001. A horrible tragedy that changed our world forever. Words cannot express the sadness and overwhelming anger that touched each one of us during one of our country's darkest hours. We cannot change the events of that day, but we can remember those lost and the many public servants who died trying to save them. The date that marks this sad day has passed and as we look toward a brighter future, we honor those who continue to serve our nation's people ...

Why The Fed Can't, And Won't, Let The Stock Market CrashSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/16/2014 21:39 -0400
Why can't, or rather won't, the Fed let the bubble market collapse once again? Simple - as the following chart shows, the illusion of wealth is now most critical when preserving the myth of the welfare state: some 50% of all US pension fund assets are invested in stocks and only 20% in Treasurys.

David Rosenberg Channels Felix ZulaufSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/13/2012 19:58 -0400
"We are witnessing the biggest financial-market manipulation of all time. The authorities have intervened more and more, and thereby created this monster. They might change the rules when the game goes against their own interests. We are in a severe credit crunch. It starts when the weakest links in the system can't finance their activities. Then you have a flight to safety into Treasuries and German bunds, compounded by a quasi-shortage of good collateral. That's why bond yields have fallen so low. This isn't an inflationary environment but a deflationary one."

Guest Post: Fred Hickey - If We Continue Down This Path, the Outlook is General Impoverishment for the CountrySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/21/2010 03:05 -0400
A few weeks ago, I asked Fred Hickey what he would do as chairman of the Federal Reserve. In the remainder of our interview, I asked Fred whether we can avoid recessions in a business cycle, what will happen to the US Dollar, how our creditors are behaving, and what advice he can offer given the new economic environment.

Fred Hickey On GoldSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/06/2009 00:36 -0400
With the inexplicable recent reorientation by a traditionally very erudite, pragmatic and realistic Jim Grant (well, not that inexplicable) into what can only be described as pulling some serious wool over his readers' eyes, we decided to fall back to our other favorite newsletter writer: the inimitable Fred Hickey who writes The High-Tech Strategist. While we can not find enough praise for his work, it bears pointing out that whereas one may accuse Grant of selling out, such an accusation will be impossible of Mr. Hickey, who is a florid, objective and insightful as always, and maybe more so now than ever. His latest letter, Fighting the Fed, is a must read for all, and while we wish we had the copyright latitude to repost it in whole, we would like to at least share Fred's thoughts on gold (among many other things, some of which have made his readers serious money over the years).

Steven Tyler suffered some serious facial injuries after he took a nasty spill in his hotel room in Paraguay Tuesday. While visiting the South American country as part of Aerosmith's tour, the 63-year-old singer and American Idol host apparently got a bad case of food poisoning and collapsed in his hotel bathroom. Reuters reports that Tyler lost two teeth and had cuts on his face in the fall. He reportedly received emergency dental work and stitches soon after.
Aerosmith was forced to cancel the Tuesday night show in Paraguay because of Tyler's injury, but it has been rescheduled for Wednesday night.
"Steven Tyler suffered minor injuries as a result of food poisoning. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated and released," Tyler's manager, Eric Sherman, said in a statement to People. "Steven would like to sincerely apologize to his fans in Paraguay for the inconvenience and hopes to see them all (Wednesday) night."
According to a bellboy at the hotel, Tyler slipped while taking a shower and "had a nasty fall." Thankfully, it sounds like it wasn't as nasty a spill as the one Tyler took in 2009, when he fell off a stage while performing in South Dakota and had to be airlifted to the hospital.

Clicks and mortar: The industry's growth potential has led to an influx of online stores
IBISWorld's Online Shopping market research report is a comprehensive guide to market size and growth prospects. Our industry reports offer strategic industry analysis of the factors influencing companies, including new product developments, economic, lifestyle and demographic influences, distribution and supply chain factors and pricing issues. Full analysis accompanies our data forecasts to illustrate how the market responds to emerging industry trends.
Online retailing has changed the face of the Australian retail sector, representing a paradigm shift in the way consumers make transactions. While the industry is in its infancy both technologically and financially, it has grown dramatically over the past five years, to become part of the mainstream retail industry. The rise of the industry has been aided by the rapid growth in internet and broadband penetration, combined with consumer acceptance of electronic commerce as a viable and safe alternative to traditional bricks-and-mortar retailing.
The industry has benefited from consumers seeking choice and value, particularly as discretionary spending and overall consumer sentiment have been relatively weak... purchase to read more
The Online Shopping industry is characterised by a low level of market share concentration with the top four players accounting for an estimated 22.5% of revenue. Major players, such as Wesfarmers and Woolworths, have significant influence over the market and a large customer base. However, the industry also consists of a large number of smaller, independent operators. Although these larger companies have been expanding their online presence rapidly over the past five years, substantial market share gains have been offset by the multitude of new operators entering the industry.
Concentration is set to strengthen over the next five years, as retailers consolidate their operations in response to intensifying competition... purchase to read more
Retailers in this industry operate websites that enable consumers to purchase a broad range of products such as apparel, computers, recorded music, electronic goods, general merchandise and groceries. Industry participants are either pure-play online retailers or bricks-and-mortar stores that have an online presence. The industry does not include the sale of goods or services by agents, who do not take ownership of the goods and services, or the sale of goods by individuals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's pregnancy was far from an immaculate conception -- but it did go down in the shadow of the Vatican ... TMZ has learned.
Our Kim K. sources -- which are immaculate -- tell us the deed was done back in October ... during Kim and Kanye's romantic trip to Italy to celebrate Kim's 32nd birthday.
The couple was photographed all over Rome as they toured the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, and, of course ... the Pope's pad.
We're told Kim is about 12 weeks along ... so the math adds up.
One clue about how important that Italy trip is to Kim -- her blog lists it as #2 on her top 10 best moments of the year.
Our guess for #1 -- the night (or day) baby Kimye was created in Roma.
Who gives a flying fluck where this skank conceived!
Moon child.
Getting knocked up near the Vatican doesn't make the baby any less of a bastard.
Maybe it is the pope's baby?
who wants t knw
Here comes the apocalypse .... TIME TO CANCEL OUR TMZ ACCOUNTS whos cares keep this ridiculous crap to yourselves ..money can't buy class that's for sure ..an for the people who are happy for her ..that tells me something we've gotten dumber...smh who is she ?a singer why is she famous ...lol by the this is annoying ,, disgusting an unclassy disgrace ..does she have any respect for herself ....btw stop trying to copy beyonce and jayz aye kenye fyi amber rose dont care what u do you guys failed hard you got pregnant for ratings
don't you people have anything new to talk about? kim k. is not at all that big, so stop talking about her pregnancy.
like John replied I'm amazed that someone able to earn $7507 in one month on the internet. did you read this web link jump15.com
Of course, the princess of immorality would say that. How disgusting!
Please who gives a dam about this trick
Who gives a **** about this thirsty fame seeking trick??? Stop reporting dumb ass worthless **** TMZ!!
If you have the time to write bs about someone else and there child they are having. You have time to shut the !!!k up.worry about your own life and what your doing and why you're judging someone else are you god? No right so stop playing like you are and let people be happy worry about why your not happy in life and how to fix it
And her conceiving near the Vatican is important, why? Wait, first of all, Kim K is important, why? If papparazzi could finally end their fascination with the Kardashian's, they would see that the rest of the world is very uninterested in these talentless, shallow, pointless, greed-driven, fame-mongers! They contribute nothing to this world unless it directly affects their pocketbook. Most people have real issues to contend with.
ooooh, oooh, I have a good story for you TMZ. How about reporting on how many people in the world hate the Kardashians and are tired of hearing about these useless, do-nothings? Maybe the tides would turn and the media would finally start to ignore those money grubbing, fame seeking narcissists. Oh how their world would crumble if no one was watching them!!!
Mmmm take a moment to reflect have you done anything positive for someone else today of not maybe join the military and learn to fight for this country not each other you people are pathetic to tear someone apart that you don't know but wish you did

Mexico crowds cheer Pope Benedict
Pope Benedict XVI has arrived in Mexico, at the start of his first visit to Spanish-speaking Latin-America.
The Pope was greeted by thousands in central city of Guanajuato, and welcomed by President Felipe Calderon.
Mr Calderon said the visit had enormous importance as Mexico was suffering greatly from drug-related violence.
Before his arrival, the Pope said it was vital "to fight this evil" and urged the young to renounce drugs. After Mexico, he will travel to Cuba.
He said Marxism there was no longer working.
The Pope said the ideology no longer corresponded to reality and called for "new models" to be found.
He made it clear that "the Church is always on the side of freedom of thought and of religion".
Huge camp sites
Benedict was welcomed by cheering crowds at Guanajuato on Friday. Supporters at the airport chanted: "Benedict, brother, you are now Mexican!"
The pontiff then led a short blessing on a specially erected platform within the airport.
But it was on the streets outside where Benedict was most eagerly awaited, the BBC's Will Grant in Mexico reports.

All day under a hot sun, thousands of cheering followers - dressed in white and yellow T-shirts and waving flags - lined the route to the city of Leon to catch a glimpse of Benedict as he passed in the armour-plated Popemobile.
Our correspondent says security is tight - with the federal police and military deployed in large numbers.
The Pope is due to hold talks with President Calderon later on Saturday.
He will also spend time in the city of Silao, near Leon.
On Sunday some 300,000 people are expected to attend Mass, and huge camp sites have been set up to give pilgrims somewhere to stay.
Earlier, while on route to Mexico, Pope Benedict told journalists: "I share Mexicans' joy and hope but also their anguish and grief," referring to the country's drug related violence, which has taken 50,000 lives in the past five years.
One Mexican supporter said: "With this wave of violence that we're living, not just in individual states but across the country, the Pope's visit could be a great source of comfort."

Cuba challenges
Some 88% of Mexicans - almost 100 million people - are Roman Catholic, and the Pope's predecessor, John Paul II, was a regular visitor to the country.
Our correspondent says Pope Benedict is not regarded with the same affection yet, but there is undoubtedly excitement about the visit among the faithful.
The Pope faces sensitive issues in Cuba.
This week the campaign group Amnesty International reported that life was getting harder for dissidents there.
Earlier this month, activists were evicted from a church they had occupied in the capital, Havana, demanding an audience with the Pope.
In Havana, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said the government was open to opinions that differed from its own, in a reference to the Pope's comments that Marxism there was no longer working. - BBC

Sight deposits of domestic banks with the Swiss National Bank were little changed last week.
Average sight deposits stood at 277.5 billion francs (284 billion dollars) in the week ending Aug. 10 after reaching 277.3 billion francs in the previous week, the Zurich-based SNB said in a statement on its website today.
Average sight deposits calculated on an accumulated monthly basis advanced to 274.9 billion francs from 273.6 billion francs, the central bank said.
Sight deposits have been pushed higher as the SNB increased liquidity and bought euros from banks to defend its currency ceiling, crediting lenders' deposits with the amount of francs sold. The central bank introduced the limit of 1.20 francs per euro in September to fight deflation risks and help exporters.

Pros: clean and convenient
Cons: snack vending on each floor

Location and staff MAKE this hotel!Posted 7-Oct-2014
Pros: The staff was so nice and pleasant! Very helpful in giving suggestions for restaurants and things to do!
Location: Go to 16 bits. If you drink, you get to play the old school arcade games for free. Even if you just have a beer to sip on, do it! It was so fun!
We chose to stay at this hotel because it was close to Cosi (which was disappointing). The hotel staff was amazing. We had the most interaction with the valet staff as it was free in and out privileges and since Columbus is so car/driver-friendly, we used our car quite a bit. However, the room was just weird. We stayed on an end unit so it might be why it was so oddly shaped but the TV was SO tiny for being 15 feet away from the bed. There was hardly anywhere to set things down except for on the couch, bed or floor. I just think the layout and/or size of TV could have been a lot better. Oh - and it cost $17 to rent a movie - NO THANK YOU!

Nice hotel with a park viewPosted 6-Aug-2014
Pros: Amazing community park next to hotel
Cons: Parking.
Location: Mitchells steakhouse was amazing. There was a small sports bar that featured local musicians and the river walk were all within walking distance.
Parking is at a premium but once inside, you'll enjoy your stay. There is a fantastic community park next to the hotel that was a great place to unwind. Close shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance so a car was not required in the evening. Staff was very helpful in finding sights that a car was needed.

Got a great rate for a dirty roomPosted 28-Jul-2014
Pros: Receptionist was very nice
Cons: update the rooms, clean and inspect them
Location: We went to the Ohio State fair
I wonder if Sheraton keeps the dirty rooms for Expedia members? Bathroom had hair on the floor, carpet had trash on it. Bathroom hook was barely hanging on wall. Clean somewhat comfortable bed and soft pillows though and the shower although stained on the bottom had good pressure and lots of hot water. Great rate for a ho hum room, just needed a bed and a shower for one night and that's what we got and paid for,, doubt I'll go back. Too many other hotels in the area. Room had a decent view, the airconditioner worked fine. Room was quiet but could hear people uptairs use the water either flushing or taking a shower

Nice Hotel - good locationPosted 27-Jul-2014
Pros: Location, Nice room, Clean, High quality
Cons: It would be nice if they would offer in-room wifi without joining their preferred guest program. Also, valet parking was expensive.
Location: It is within walking distance of various Columbus attractions.
Nice place to stay and good location. We were able to walk to German Village and down to the river. The room was clean and well-decorated. Staff was friendly and helpful although we did not require much of them during our stay.

Poor experiencePosted 8-Jul-2014 on Hotels.com
First, the entrance way is hard to drive into. it took 15 minutes just to get to valet. Then, only one staff person checking in a ton of people. Next, we get a Handicap room and was not advised. The shower head was busted and the hose shoot downward. Next, the bellman was supposed to request a crib with the front desk and this was never done after a nice tip. I would not go back to this hotel and very surprised Sherton allows this level of service.

Since that time, millions of people have learned the secret of the relaxation response--without high-priced lectures, drugs, or prescription medicine. The tremendous success of this ...more

This is an informative, readable book about how to meditate. It promotes no specific religion or philosophy. Its focus is on combating the fight–or–flight response with a calmer reaction to problems. Through meditation the relaxation response is invoked twice a day. This learning spills over into the person's response to everyday stresses. It does discuss meditation in various Western and Eastern religions, and does condone using religion in conjunction with meditation if the person is so inclin ...more

I've recently reviewed this book for the second time. A study was done at Harvard by Herbert Benson and colleagues back in the 70's. Their findings were that by triggering the relaxation response in the body through meditation all kinds of ailments are relieved. It's amazing to me that the benefits of conscious relaxation aren't more commonly known and understood in our society. I have practiced this in conjunction with restorative yoga and other meditation techniques with miraculous results in ...more

This book is succinct and easy to read. I bought it based on its reputation, as it is a widely quoted resource on meditation. The book delves into the mind/body connection and how we can use meditation to bring down our stress level or as the book describes it, "The Relaxation Response," without the use of drugs or prescription medication.

Usually I'm suspicious that doctors who write popular health books are more interested in making a buck or selling a product than in helping people get healthy. However, author Herbert Benson seeks to empower the reader by offering a simple method—the relaxation response—to counteract stress. Originally published in 1975, this was the first book to link stress with hypertension and to substantiate how regular use of relaxation techniques can reduce symptoms of hypertension and cardiovascular dis ...more

This wasn't the most exciting read but I did like the author's basic concept. Most of the book provides reasons for eliciting and gives a historical account of "the Relaxation Response". Instructions for achieving it are found in the last couple chapters.

It's tough to review a book like this because almost everything you need to know is summarized in the introduction. The actual technique is very simple to learn, yet is a very powerful basic technique that every meditator needs to have in their toolbox. The majority of the rest of the book is filled with medical studies backing up the notion that meditation does indeed have a powerful effect on the mind and body. If you think meditation isn't for you or that you simply 'can't' meditate, this is ...more

Although the relaxation response technique is extremely short and easy to learn and is only described right at the end of the book, it is worth reading about the benefits of meditation if you are new to it. I looked into Transcendental Meditation but found that this method as taught by Herbert Benson dispels with the secret mantra as is just as effective without the mysticism. About to read Beyond the Relaxation Response now.

This book has been around for a while. I had taken some meditation training in the past and I wanted to learn more about the science behind why meditation worked to reduce stress (and whether in fact it did). I found a wealth of information about the blood pressure responses to consistent meditation. What happens in the body as a result of high blood pressure was also described clearly. I also discovered some alternative meditation practices to those I had been doing periodically. This book as a ...more

This book on meditation was researched and written by a Harvard PhD., so it takes a very physiological approach to the subject and outcome of meditation. The author suggests a technique (which is the technique he used with success in his own studies), but he also allows the use of prayer, mantra, or any other spiritual device that might bring the desired outcome. I found this book to be very interesting and once I can find some quiet time, I look forward to beginning. Apparently, different peopl ...more

Reread this one after a decade or so. Presents meditation as a bit of a panacea, and focuses a bit too much on hypertension/cardiology (his speciality) rather than mental calmness and stress management. On the other hand, it's a dated book, and seminal in establishing Western medicine's increasing openness to the proto-psychologies religions got right long before modern medicine. I'm not well read enough in the subject, but it seems like an early example of preventative medicine over diagnose-an ...more

A short book, about 100 pages long, that covers something that has been known and practiced for ages. The difference here is scientific study was applied and Benson shares the results. After the two pages describing how to do it, the rest was why. The Relaxation Response is like meditation, or deep prayer, and part of the book explores the different religions and writings that have discussed this process. It is a simple thing to do. The hardest part is to make it a habit and do it at least once ...more

A classic! Succinct and accessible medical explanation of Flight/Fight and Relaxation Response mechanisms within human body and how to work with both in this chronically stressful modern culture. Also a brief history of meditation across cultures/religion/history. Benson did the groundbreaking scientific research on biological impact of meditation that laid the foundation for moving mind/body treatments from the fringes to the mainstream of health care and summarizes it here.

A revised edition of a 1970's book by a Harvard doc who was shunned by the academic community for beginning to study the physiological effects of Transcendental Meditation. I love one of the quotes from a review in the front by an MD: "I am delighted that someone has finally taken the nonsense out of meditation..." Ha! For those of you who have trauma or work with it, this is a great basic primer of how breathing and relaxation calm us physiologically.
Jul 27, 2008 Charity (CJ) rated it 3 of 5 stars
The first have was very bland (all this stuff about blood pressure and how high blood pressure happens...not at all the reason I'm interested in the topic), but the section about meditation practices in world religions was very interesting, as was the section on how to elicit the Relaxation Response. So, three stars rather than the two I would have given it had I stopped with the blood presure stuff.
Jun 29, 2011 Dej rated it 5 of 5 stars
I thought this book was just the reason I needed to start meditating. it explains that prayer, meditation, and conscious relaxation produce physical health benefits needed to balance out the stress and fight/flight response in every day life. it was also refreshing to read a well written and well researched book on this topic.
Mar 20, 2008 Adrienne rated it 4 of 5 stars
As someone who has struggled with anxiety issues for the past 10 years, I found this book very helpful. It talks about using meditation in a very "non-crunchy" way. I would recommend this book to anyone who has wrestled with anxiety/depression/insomnia. It has some very down-to-earth techniques and advice.
It seems to be an early, and rudimentary, exploration of what basically amounts to focused meditation. I'm sure it was more groundbreaking when published. There a healthy amount of quotes from various religious disciplines (both Eastern & Western) that I found interesting that I hadn't come across before.
Aug 04, 2011 Mirko rated it 5 of 5 stars
Very instructive book, backed up with scientific research. I skipped few chapters dealing with details about blood presure measurement, which I didn't find necessary. It is quite old book, and it's probably the pioneer work in the body-mind link, which was weird in its time, but nowadays is popular.
May 17, 2008 Aimee rated it 4 of 5 stars
Although I disagreed with some of the author's ideas because of my religious affiliation and beliefs, I found the overall idea of this book very good. I particularly enjoyed the chapter looking at historical and religious relaxation response ideas and quotes. I think I just might give it a try!

Very succinct and practical. Great for anyone that has stress of any kind. Highly driven people may find that it could save your life!
Most people know how to trigger the fight or flight response but most people are not even aware of the relaxation response.

Herbert Benson conducted the first major studies on the physiological effects of meditation, which he called the "Relaxation Response." The book didn't tell me anything particularly new to but it was interesting to read about the studies.

"You will learn that evoking the Relaxation Response is extremely simple if you follow a very short set of instructions which incorporate four essential elements: (1) a quiet environment; (2) a mental device such as a word or a phrase which should be repeated in a specific fashion over and over again; (3) the adoption of a passive attitude, which is perhaps the most important of the elements; and (4) a comfortable position. Your appropriate practice of these four elements for ten to twenty minutes once or twice daily should markedly enhance your well-being."
"(1) A Quiet Environment Ideally, you should choose a quiet, calm environment with as few distractions as possible. A quiet room is suitable, as is a place of worship. The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts.

Back in 2011, Future and Drake had a little bit of tension, after Future couldn't get Drizzy to appear in the video for "Tony Montana," despite the fact Drake had hopped on the remix. The two later made amends though, and have since collaborated on other songs and videos, leading to having Future on this tour. Unfortunately, things aren't going too well any longer!

Detroit Tigers' starting pitcher Justin Verlander is the object of jealousy for a number of young men in the United States of America.
As if pitching for the Detroit Tigers, making $219 million over the course of a 10-year contract, and winning Cy Young and MVP awards weren't all enough, Verlander is also dating super model Kate Upton.
It is thanks to his relationship with Upton that Verlander found himself in the news this week as the unlikely celebrity affected by the massive online link of nude photographs. Some of the leaked photos included a nude Verlander posing with Upton.
That topic presumably prompted the following comments from Verlander, though he did not address the leaked photos specifically (from ESPN.com):
"I'm not going to comment on my personal life," the 31-year-old said. "I never have and I never plan on it. I keep my personal life personal. The focus for me is on the Detroit Tigers. I don't want to take any focus away from this team and what we're trying to accomplish. We're in the middle of a pennant race. We're trying to win a pennant and all of my focus currently is on doing whatever I can to help our team win our division."
As for his ability to block out distractions in the midst of a tight playoff race, Verlander said that will be no problem for him:
"I've always been good at that," Verlander said of ignoring outside influences. "This is my life. Baseball's my life. You're able to focus on that especially when you're on the mound doing what I've done my whole life."
This is certainly not the end of this leaked photos story, but for Verlander the focus will be on the playoff race and catching the Kansas City Royals in the American League Central.

My Singapore News
Looking at Singapore from a different angle.
street battle with loansharks
Street battle with loan sharks This is like pitting textbooks and supertalents against street smarts Ah Bengs. And with 10,221 reported cases of harassment and 29 arrests, looks like Ah Bengs are outsmarting the academics. Maybe the number 29 has gone up after yesterday's islandwide sweep. How long will this battle go on? Will loansharks be sent to sea, or will they continue to find a safe haven to operate in this little island?

Glad you are doing well and hope that your reflection/meditation are working to get you into a comfy spot. I know that I don't feel ready for this baby at all....and am hoping that after Friday (my last day of work) that I'll get my mind in the right place.

That's good that you feel like you are dealing with whatever might be holding you back from starting labor. I can understand where the tentative feelings are coming from. Sounds like you are ready to move past that and get this baby here!
Okay, baby2, mommy and daddy are ready for you, you can come out now!

Sounds like Baby2 is just quite comfy and happy exactly where he or she is. I know that this can be frustrating, waiting and waiting and wondering when, but it really won't be too long now. You're not even post dates yet! I hope you don't go another 2 (or 3!) weeks, and that you get to meet Baby2 shortly
It's taken while, but I've finally made it over here to check on you. I am not at all suprised by the drama with Wayne's X....that's her M.O. And I totally laughed at Skyler saying he was afraid of the Easter bunny......did he really think you'd believe that one!
As for the baby...I'm feeling girl this time. She's gotta come soon. Can't wait to hear.
Here's to hopeing you have that baby soon. I'm glad you have had a chance to do some thinking, I really believe there's a connection.
Yesterday was very promising. I woke up at 4:06am from contractions about 5-6 minutes apart. They were relatively strong - some strong enough that I had to try to rearrange myself to try to get into a more comfortable position (unsuccessfully). This continued for about 1.5 hours. I managed to get to sleep for about an hour, and when I got up (7am), things seemed to be relatively similar. We had breakfast, gardenbug and my dad took DSS to school, DH decided he would be industrious and checked the chemicals on the hot tub (which was WAY HIGH in chlorine), I turned on the heat in the sunroom and relaxed inthere a little while. Things slowed down. I took Indy for a walk and things picked up again. I took another nap around 11:30 for an hour and woke up with some REALLY GOOD contractions about 10-20 mins apart. That lasted until about 3:30pm - so I called the MW to give her the head's up. She was waiting for a phonecall from another midwife for backup, but told me not to worry, that if I needed her she would be there ASAP (30 mins instead of the usual 10). No problem. Gardenbug and my dad went and picked DSS up at school and took him to TKD. It was nice to have the time alone.
DH and I decided to play DSS's new PS2 that he got for his birthday. Contractions basically stopped at that point. DH and I decided that since things had seemed to be progressing, we'd try to get them going again with some spicy food. I got the tabasco out, we made fajitas and I think I put a whole teaspoon on each of my two burritos.
I think I had about 2 contractions between the call to the MW and when I went to bed at 10:45pm. This morning I've had a couple, but none last night, and nothing serious. I was fully expecting to wake up again with some good contractions. Oh well.
DH went to work this morning.
I'm getting rather frustrated at this whole labour thing.
Why won't it just happen already? GRRRRRR. Especially after yesterday.
I think I'm doubly frustrated because with Reed my water broke, I had mild contractions every 20mins until 1pm-ish, and then Reed was born at 3:52pm. It's now been almost 1.5 weeks!!! huh?
Now to find a positive attitude...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Police have charged a man with criminal homicide after a burned body was found in a fire pit at a homeless camp in Nashville.
Nashville police say 52-year-old Jessie Scales walked into a gas station Saturday morning and told the clerk he had just killed someone.
Officers found the badly burned body of a man in a fire pit under an Interstate 65 overpass. Police said Scales acknowledged that he put the victim in the pit after he struck him multiple times with a shovel so he could take his money.
Scales and the victim are believed to be homeless. The victim was tentatively identified as a 57-year-old man.
The Associated Press could not determine whether Scales has a lawyer or if a court date has been scheduled

Working Families Party of Oregon
The Oregon Working Families Party (Oregon WFP) is a minor political party modeled after the national Working Families Party, but is organized locally and is autonomous. It is recognized by the Oregon State Elections Division as a statewide nominating party.
Established in 2006 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Oregon WFP is headed by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555 Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Anderson and Oregon vineyard operator Barbara Dudley as co-chairs.
The Oregon WFP uses electoral fusion, sometimes called 'cross-endorsement', to nominate candidates from other political parties. A lite version of fusion became Oregon law in 2009, see Gov. Kulongoski Signs Fusion Bill. This means that candidates nominated by the Oregon WFP have the words "Working Families" listed by their name on the ballot. Often, candidates will be listed on the ballot as the candidate of two parties: their own, and the Oregon WFP.
The party nominated J. Ashlee Albies for Oregon Attorney General during the 2008 election, and Bruce Cronk for U.S. Senate during the 2010 election. They also endorsed a number of candidates in other sate legislative races in 2008 and 2010.

The Working Families Party fights to improve the lives of working people and their families by focusing our government on things that make our jobs better, provide security for our families and prosperity for our communities. That includes:
- Affordable healthcare for all Oregonians where our health, or lack thereof, is not dependent on individual wealth and subject to private profiteering; we support national single-payer health care consistent with the principles of H.R. 676 (United States National Health Care Act).
- Opening doors to opportunity through higher education and technical training that does not result in indebtedness for our citizens.
- Affordable housing, a stop to predatory lending practices, investment in new affordable housing development, and protection of existing affordable housing.
- Promotion of green family wage jobs whose legacy leaves a clean, secure, and sustainable environment for our children.
- Supporting fair trade, defending our jobs against outsourcing, wage and benefit cuts, and corporate raiding.
- The right to organize and reach a first contract free of intimidation, discrimination, and illegal terminations.
