Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown reportedly missed a perfect opportunity to finally bury the hatchet with music rival Lil' Kim last night (June 2) at Hot 97's annual Summer Jam concert.
According to reports, Foxy turned into a no-show for fellow BK rapper Fabolous' scheduled set.
Nicki Minaj and Lil' Kim both touched the stage at Summer Jam XX on Sunday. While Nicki was a guest of 2 Chainz, Lil' Kim had MetLife Stadium buzzing when she surprised during Fabolous' set. The Queen Bee performed "Queen Bitch" off her debut Hard Core. "When we talk about the ni**as who be killin' it from Brooklyn, it was only right that we got the queen out here," said Fab. There were also rumors that Foxy Brown was supposed to appear during Loso's set, but she was running late. (Rap-Up)
While a Kim and Foxy reunion did not go down, the Queen Bee still managed to hold her own.
Fabolous had a few surprises up his sleeves. Starting with his "Ready" collaboration with Chris Brown, Loso brought his "Life Is So Exciting" tour to Summer Jam as Pusha T appeared on Sunday night. The energy went up another level as Meek Mill followed up with his Dreamchasers 2 club banger "Racked Up Shawty." The big moment during Fab's set was Lil' Kim, who blazed the stage with her 1996 Hardcore single "Queen Bi**h." Foxy Brown was scheduled to appear after, but ended up a no show on stage. (Miss Info TV)
Back in January 2011, a perceived Kim diss track from Foxy leaked online.
"First a b*tch wanna hate on Foxy/ Ten years later now she hating Minajie," Foxy raps over Jay-Z's "So Ghetto" beat. "And all that subliminal rap sh*t, I'll put you in a Chinchilla casket … Bear witness to the rise and the fall of Miss Kimberly Jones." ("Christmas Massacre")
Foxy later resorted to Twitter to accuse Kim of leaking the record.
"Haaaaaaa!!!! LOL! at some faggot a** interns leaking my practice!!!! THE OFFICIAL "MASSACRE" IN 1 HOUR!!!!!!!!! Countdown baby……..," she tweeted Saturday (January 8).
"THESE F*GGOTS MUST BE ON KIMBERLY PAYROLL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Foxy Brown's Twitter)

The purpose of this page is to document, in technical terms, what is going on. Did the Opera programmers make grave mistakes? Or is it something wrong on the MSN site? If so, is the Opera browser targeted specifically? (Executive summary: no, yes, yes)
Opera Documentation: [people.opera.com...]
Reg Story: [theregister.co.uk...]
Good and free publicity for Opera :)
Microsoft would like us to believe that it is a benign company with computer users best interest in mind, whose goal is to be the technology leader through great products and solid design.
Yet things like this always come out, which tarnishes their image.
The funny thing is, they don't have to be the bully. Their focus should remain on making a better product.
[news.com.com...] [eweek.com...]
I just wonder if it is poor/lazy cross browser compatibility testing or intentional (or both)
What the person in the article is saying is silly, because the page working in Opera 6 and they admit that. So it's broken for 7 which is no big news, if they detect opera thinking its version 6 and do the wrong style adjustment, Opera 7 can do bad looking things. They just need to improve the agent detection for 7! Too much hype, The Register must have had a slow news day.
Hmm, if I use Opera, and Google use Googlebot to read the oage, and we get given substantially different content, isn't that cloaking, pure and simple?
Anyone want a bet on how long before Microsoft get a PageRank zero!?
Same thing on the developer site. Many times following a link from a search engine with Opera I just get a server index page. By now I know I must fire up IE and take my chances on the poor security when that happens.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Winnipeg man tried to swindle two British teachers
A Winnipeg man tried to swindle thousands of dollars from two British teachers he convinced to send him nude photographs and videos through an online dating website.
Robert Li, 33, used the naughty material as the basis for his threats, claiming he would reveal them to the victim's schools and colleagues if they didn't meet his financial demands. It's one of the first cases of its kind ever exposed in Manitoba.
"It will take some money to make sure these videos never see the light of day," Li told one of his victims in an email exchange later seized by police.
Li — who used a bogus last name on the "Plenty Of Fish" website — also spun an elaborate tale about his father being $150,000 in debt to Asian gangs who were after him if the payment couldn't be made quickly. He befriended the women quickly by claiming he was planning his own move to London in the near future.
Nothing could be further from the truth. He was living in the basement with his parents, still smarting from being laid off with his job with Investors Group. There was no gang debt, no angry mobs after his family. Just a devious plot to make some cold, hard cash.
"I feel remorse for my actions. I've caused both ladies emotional pain and stress," Li told court Friday at his sentencing hearing. He has pleaded guilty to a rare charge of extortion by libel. The Crown is seeking a six-month conditional jail sentence, while Li has asked for a suspended sentence with probation.
Provincial court Judge Carena Roller has reserved her decision until Dec. 13.
The two victims are unknown to each and didn't realize they were both being manipulated over a week-long period around the same time last September, court was told. Li turned the otherwise tame conversations sexual by sending them faceless photos which purported to show him naked. He then encouraged the two women to do the same.
"I started to trust Rob. He said he was moving to London and I started to see a future for us," one victim told police. She was coming off a nasty divorce and said she turned to Plenty Of Fish to see if "men still found me attractive and as a confidence boost."
Li certainly talked a good game, taking their conversations to other websites such as Skype which allowed for video interaction. Only days after first meeting online, she was suddenly performing a sexual striptease for him. She had no idea Li was recording on the other end of the computer to use it against her.
"I feel like an idiot. I never thought this would happen," she later told police. "I thought this would be a personal video between the two of us."
Li had initially told the woman he would meet her in London in the coming days -- but then claimed gang members had attacked him because of his father's debt, stolen his passport and claimed more "blood would be shed" if he didn't come up with the cash quickly.
"Do you value your job?" Li suddenly asked the woman in an online chat. "Pretty sure the school wouldn't like videos of their teacher floating around on the Internet."
The woman claimed she didn't have the funds because of the costs of her ongoing divorce. Li told her to go apply for a loan.
"You have an hour to decide before I send these to your school," he threatened.
The second victim had a similar encounter with Li, sending him photos of her in lingerie and fully nude on the belief they were private. Once obtained, Li quickly turned on her and demanded money - even suggesting she sell her horse to get funds for him.
"I know where you work," he said in one chat. "You're going to regret that I have the pictures and the videos."
Both women went to police, who quickly linked the two incidents and contacted authorities in Winnipeg. Police arrested Li at his parents' house last December, where he admitted to his crimes but denied ever planning to expose the women as he had threatened.
"There'll be no other incidents like this. I'm not a bad guy," said Li.
Defence lawyer Sarah Inness said her client has no prior criminal record and simply got "caught up" in a scam.
"He very much regrets what he did. It was out of character for him," she said. Inness also expressed surprise the two victims would be so trusting of a total stranger by sending him explicit material within days of meeting online.
"I'm always amazed at the amount of privacy people give away on the Internet," said Inness.
Li has been free on bail since his arrest with conditions to have no contact with the women, avoid any online dating sites and not to use Skype. There have been no breaches, court was told.

So Disappointed!
By CB
from Mississauga, Ontario
The bracelet is beautiful, but quality is questionable. Upon opening the package I could see that one stone had already fallen out - was at bottom of plastic baggie. So disappointed. Not sure if I should try for a replacement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cops: Ex-security guard shoots motel manager, self
Police say a man who had been recently fired as a security guard shot the manager of the New Plaza Motel before turning the gun on himself while fleeing authorities.
The shooting happened early Tuesday inside the St. Petersburg motel's office. Arriving officers found Jerome Horacek with a gunshot wound to his upper torso.
They also saw the suspect running from the scene. The Tampa Bay Times reports a K-9 tracked the man to a nearby vacant lot, where he had apparently fatally shot himself.
Officials say Horachek's wounds are not life-threatening.
According to police, the security guard had recently received an eviction notice from the motel where he had been employed. His name has not been released.
An investigation is continuing.

Happy First Day of Spring!
Today is the first day of Spring and also the international day of happiness. I wanted to show you my newest soap, because it is making me happy :) and also it looks like Spring!
I bought 2 new molds that I love!
I had to wait a long, long time for them, but it was totally worth it!
These soaps will be part of a luxury line that I'm releasing for spring. It's not actually spring here LOL! They are forecasting more snow for tomorrow :( For me Spring is May. These soaps will be ready around the middle of April, so that will be perfect!
They are made with grape seed oil, avocado oil and cocoa butter. I love to use cocoa butter in the spring. I'm not sure why?? Maybe it's the yummy scent - mmm raw cocoa butter smells SO good. Sometimes I just want to eat a piece!
They are scented with strawberry, kiwi, apple blossoms and a blend of berries. It's a really nice soft and gentle scent - perfect for spring!
And I made a video! You can find out the secret of the pretty rose mold ;)

Soap Making Video! Punked Sugar
I made a soap making video! I thought it would be fun to make a video of one of my new spring soaps - Punked Sugar. I used colors that I thought looked like punk neon colors.
It's been a week since I made them and they are already turning black, instead of the forest green weird color (you will see in the video). Chemistry is amazing!

Food In Soap
I was going to title this post Food In Soap: A Journey, but I thought that was a little too serious :P
If you have read this blog before, you know I love food and I love making soap, so it's not a big jump to putting food IN soap. There are many reasons to put food in soap, antioxidants, minerals and skin soothing or smoothing or purifying. I put food in soap, because #1 it is fun and #2 it's a challenge.
So here are
all some of the soaps I have made with food ingredients. These are only the recent ones, because I got tired of looking for pictures.
Pureed Organic Banana
Fresh crushed gooseberries. These gooseberries were from the bush I planted in my yard a few years back. I can't wait to try currant soap with some of my currants this summer.
Honey, propolis, bee pollen.
Crushed frozen lingonberries.
MN goat milk. I make a lot of goat milk soaps - not that unusual, but I included it anyway :)
Beer. Also, not that unusual.
Dried, crush kumquats. I LOVE kumquats.
Dried, crushed dandelions. Some people eat dandelion salad, so I thought this one could count as a food ingredient ;)
Pureed Organic Cucumber.
Black tea and goat milk.
Fresh pureed avocado.
Organic carrots. These carrots were from my Dad's garden and they must have had EXTRA beta carotene, because they made the soap very yellowy-orange.
Hemp Milk & Beer
Venison tallow and sunflower oil.
Coconut Milk and ground Jasmine Rice.
Almond Milk.
Organic Egg Whites.
Chamomile and Oatmeal.
More Organic Carrots.
Cow's Butter.
Organic Pumpkin.
Coffee (espresso) & oatmeal.
Hard Cider.
Rhubarb leaves and stem.
Rhubarb root infusion.

When Good Soap Goes Bad
The Soap Queen had a really interesting post today about Soap Behaving Badly. I recently had a fun (not) experience with overheating soap. Let's all look at my beautiful soap with lovely very time consuming embeds. Ah, so beautiful. LOL!
So I tried out a new Black Raspberry Vanilla fragrance and everyone (everyone!) said it was the best behaved, most perfect, easy to work with fragrance. Ok then! Let's make a super fancy soap with that untested (by me) fragrance. It started out normally. I did a pretty drop swirl with my fun colored soap batter. It smelled AMAZING. Started putting my embeds on the top and I noticed it was getting pretty firm, very quickly. I was happy that I had gotten my drop swirl done before it firmed up. Ah, what sweet innocent oblivion.
So I wanted to take some pics of this gorgeous soap. I brought my camera into the workshop. Took some pics. La, la, la. Just fiddled around admiring my work.
Now my soaping room is very cold at this time of year. On a good day, it's 65F. On a normal day it's below 60F. This was at night and it was -30F outside, so it was waaay cold in my soaping room.
After the photo shoot I set my little baby soap on a shelf. I didn't insulate it, because I didn't want to mess up the lovely raspberries. I went upstairs, edited pics and uploaded them to FB, because I was so proud of my creation and I wanted to share it with everyone!!
30 mins. later I returned and the soap was overheating! Oily slick on top, cracking in the middle. The raspberries were sinking into the soap like Atlantis into the ocean. HELP! My poor soap!
So I moved the soap loaf down onto the very, very cold cement floor and turned a fan on. I had the fan blowing over the top of it all night. Even with the fan and the cold floor and the cold room - the damage was done. I gave it 3 days, because I was hoping by some miracle that the oil would reabsorb and it would look better. Most of the oil did reabsorb, but it still looked like Frankenstein's uncle.
So one last look at my pretty soap....
I had to rebatch it. All my pretty colors! Sad.
So I chopped it up and put it in the crockpot. Melted it down, beat the ugly out of it and remolded it.
I don't think it looks too bad. It still smells amazing. I put a little gold dust on the top, because gold dust makes every thing look better.
Of course, now I am terrified to use the fragrance again. It might not have been the fragrance's fault. Maybe I put too many raspberries on top and this insulated the heat too much. I have to try it again, but I might wait a little bit. I have to regain my courage!

My 2nd Craft Show!
My 2nd craft show! Minneapolis Craft'za! Whoo Kiyi Kiyi goes to the big city :)
It was a very successful day. Let's just say that I made enough money to get me hooked. I want to do it again!
I left my house with a car packed to the ceiling with soap and came home with a small box of soap.
So much fun!
We had an amazing spot. Right inside the doors and a corner spot. How big do you think our booth is? Someone on FB said they could sell as much as we did if they had a big space like us. Um, that is a tiny, tiny booth. The tables are 4 feet long. The TOTAL booth space was supposed to be 5x8, but it felt much smaller.
For weeks I was freaking out about our spot - Will it be too close to the doors? How will I set up? Corner?! Where will I put the tables? Too many tables? Not enough!?!
It was perfect.
People at least saw the booth when they first came in. They would look and listen to our spiel (if there is one thing I have learned from 4 generations of sales people - you gotta sell it) - then they would either buy on the spot or circle around and come back after they looked at everything else. It was a great spot, because it had some open area around it. It got really crowded....or so I heard - I never left the booth!
My Mom was amazing! She helped me so much!
Just having her there to tell me to calm down was great! I was so nervous before the sale that I was shaking. Standing in the bathroom, shaking and telling myself I didn't think I could do it and it was a mistake. My Mom was like, "Nah, you'll be fine."
She also helped me wrap the last 75 soaps 2 days before the show, helped me load and unload the car, set up the booth and is a great sales person. She's really good at bragging about me ;)
So here is the booth!
I did not set it up at home and practice (like all the people say to do), because I had no idea what our actual booth size would look like. It just came together perfectly.
We got to the show site 20 mins. before it was supposed to open for set up, but they were starting to let people set up any way. The TV crew was there!! No, we didn't make it on TV. The back of my display was on the edge of one shot. Does that count? ha ha
We had plenty of time to set up. Lots and lots of time. And again after the show opened we didn't sell anything for 1 hour. What is up with that? I can't decide if the first hour or the last hour of a craft show is the longest hour in the world.
So many hours of work in these pictures. And so many fun memories of creating these soaps. And so many little soapies that went off to new homes! I feel like the adoption coordinator for soap :P I hope all my little soaps are behaving in their new homes.
These gnomes were a great idea. I painted them to match the color scheme and they each held a sign with prices or info. SOOOO many people stopped to look at them. Some people thought they were soap. I had some actual gnome soap and I sold them all!
So I bought the gnomes at Walmart....which makes me feel bad as a hand crafter, but I AM a hand crafter, so I usually can't afford hand crafted items. Starting a business takes a bit of capital and at this point in my enterprise I am sometimes choosing fragrance oils over food. So yeah I bought them at Walmart and yeah I feel guilty about it.....But the big blue dish is vintage!
It was so fascinating to see what sold at this sale vs. the last sale. Such different things were popular! At the last one I sold out of Almond Milk and Honey & Oatmeal and Honey & Pumpkin Spice Beer. At Craft'za I sold only a few bars of those, but I sold out of Psycho Citrus and anything with patchouli. Speaking of patchouli.... I custom blend all my fragrance oils and I think it is really funny when someone says they HATE patchouli....as they are clutching to their heart 4 bars that all have patchouli blends. Good aged patchouli is delicious and blends amazingly.
The little lotions sold out really fast. I wish I had had more time to make more lotion, but I only make 16 ounces at a time, so it is a slow (but high quality!) process.
This was the most amazing craft show I have ever been to! It just made me giddy to see so many amazing hand crafters! Or maybe I was high on adrenaline LOL!
The quality of the products and displays was just wonderful. I was so impressed and felt like such a newbie :P
I met some really nice people in the booth across from me. The husband and wife team of the Elixery. They were SO amazingly nice. I did not expect any one to be so nice...and they are kind of celebrities. I saw them on TV before the show and I was totally intimidated that they would be across from me. They were very complimentary about my product and display. It meant so much more coming from someone like them! Because they have an amazing product themselves!
Anyway, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun hanging out with my Mom :)
And I found out that I love my Paypal credit card swiper! Money, money! LOL! And fun! And creativity! :)
That's what it's all about!

First Big Craft Show
I had my first big craft show a few weeks ago (getting ready for my 2nd one - this week-end!!) and I learned a lot. I read a ton of websites, blogs, ect. about how to set up a craft show booth, so I thought I would throw in my 2 cents too. A lot of places said to build your booth up - get height! They also said to practice setting up your booth. This was a good idea. Below is a pic of my first set up idea. It went through a lot of changes....
Get height - just not too much - this is waaaay too much.
Above is what my booth ended up looking like. This was a pic from the end of the day, right before we took everything down. I sold a LOT of product, so the table was looking a little bare, but you can kind of get an idea of what it looked like.
When I started out the day I had this (I thought) super awesome step set displaying all my soaps. Sure it looked good, BUT I didn't sell anything until I got rid of the steps. They were pushing people away from my booth. Maybe people were afraid the soaps might fall if they touched them? Maybe it was cutting me off from my customers? Or maybe people just didn't like the color!
Literally, the minute we took the steps off the table - soap started to sell. As we were taking them off the table people were coming up and picking bars up to sniff. It made a huge difference!
People could not see the items displayed in these boxes. Not sure why, but through out the day I would point them out to each customer and then they would see them - other wise it was like they were invisible!
That's my super awesome apron on the table - the pocket fits my iphone with paypal reader perfectly!
I sold ZERO liquid soap. Everyone says they like liquid soap, but no one bought any....they all bought bar soap. Which makes me happy! Because I think my bar soaps are so much nicer than my liquid soap. Liquid soap is fine, but bar soap is amazing.
I sold a lot of lotion. Sadly I sold out of some scents and had people coming back at the end of the show wanting to buy the sold out lotion - sorry! It went fast!
Favorite lip balm flavor? Vanilla bean.
I have realized that making lip balm is not my favorite thing to do LOL! It takes FOREVER. I spent one whole day - more than 8 hours making 60 lip balms. They are so putzy - with the little labels and everything. I guess I just like making soap better :)
I had testers available for the lotions and little spoons. Also clean and used bowls to collect the used tester spoons. Some how I forgot 2 of the tester pots at home. I was kicking myself all day about that, because people would invariably want to test the one I didn't have.
Beginning of day (above)
End of day (below)
And now I need to go get ready for this week-ends show!

Click the image above for a high-res gallery of live and studio shots of the Volvo XC60 concept.
Volvo's presence at the Detroit auto show was mysteriously minimal, with only a sparsely populated booth and no scheduled press conference. Instead, the Swedes are turning their attention to Geneva, where Volvo will be showing off the 2009 XC60, a compact CUV aimed at the Acura RDX, BMW X3 and a number of other soft-roaders currently populating the marketplace.
The first round of speculation pegged the XC60's powerplant as the 3.2-liter inline-six pulled from the S80, but according to Inside Line, there is still some debate within Volvo about what will motivate the cute 'ute. A transversely mounted inline-five is one option, but regardless, buyers can opt for either front- or all-wheel-drive.
Sales are expected to begin in late 2008 in Europe, with U.S. buyers getting their hands on the XC60 sometime in early 2009.

Fulfilling the Unfulfilled Promise of Gideon: Litigation as a Viable Strategic Tool
Nearly fifty years after the landmark case of Gideon v. Wainwright, representation of indigent criminal defendants in many instances has remained inadequate. Commentators have proffered various reasons for the deficiencies, including inadequate funding, excessive caseloads, inconsistent standards, and judges involved in the selection of indigent defense counsel. Numerous legal scholars, committees, and commissions have suggested reforms. This Essay focuses on the use of litigation to secure the promise of Gideon. It discusses the effect various lawsuits have had on systemic reform and provides a recent case study from Michigan of a lawsuit that served as a catalyst for legislative change. Finally, this Essay suggests future approaches to achieve systemic reform.

Nobody Knows Lyrics - Faces
(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood)
I'm waiting here in patience
Am I waiting all in vain?
Will I see you? Will I touch you?
Will I hear you call my name?
Come and make
Ten steps to every one step that I take
Nobody comes and nobody goes,
No one is happy, and no one has woes.
Everything lasting, ever the same,
Nothing is ending, nothing can change.
The Good Lord always has been,
Always will be ever the same.
And confusion mixed with illusion
All years only turn again
With one and one hundred names
Had all the rooms, our key is to change.
Nobody comes and nobody goes,
No one is happy and no one has woes,
Everything lasting, nothing can change,
Nothing is ending, ever the same

Mt. Dora pastor pays for his congregation to get inked
Keep this story in mind the next time you make a flippant remark to a large group of people. Pastor Zack Zehnder, in a sermon at the Cross Mount Dora church encouraging acceptance, told the congregation that if any member wanted to "go out and get a tattoo of the logo of the cross that we have for this church we will find money and pay for that." The sermon was in response to some members of his flock who believe that tattoos are banned by the Bible, citing Leviticus 19: 28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." Zehnder made the offhand offer of ink never imagining that members of his congregation would actually get the church's colorful cross logo permanently tattooed on their bodies.
So far, at least a dozen church-goers have taken him up on the offer. Some of the congregation members who got inked were a surprise to the pastor, being older people who "didn't seem like the tattooing type." At least six more members of the congregation are expected to descend on Bill Gold's Tattoo Shop this week. At $60 each, the inkings will cost the church more than $1000. Luckily, an anonymous donor stepped up to foot the bill at the tattoo shop.
Although it was only a remark made in passing, Zehnder is happy with the way things have turned out, saying, "I think it's pretty neat that these guys are going to be walking out of here with a testimony and a chance to share God's story with people that maybe I never would or maybe you never would, that don't have tattoos."

PLEASE HELP ME: I bought two white mice about a year ago, and one of them recently died for unknown reasons. Now the remaining mouse is obviously lonely and has been losing weight/color; his blood red eyes are now almost clear...and the pink of his ears are more yellow. I'm extremely worried, any help would be appreciated.

Hi I have a female fancy mouse named sasha. I got her last June 2009 so I have had her almost a yr now. Today I noticed that one of her eyes was real red and puffy, and seemed to be draining it looked like clear what ever was draining out. I called petsmart where I purchased her and they told me to put some fresh water on her eye with an eye dropper and gave me a number to a small animal vet. It was too late to call the animal vet, I am going to call tomorrow, however I came across this site while looking up info on sick mice and thought maybe someone out there might have had a similar sickness w/ there mouse and could help. Thanks so much.
Jes - 2010-05-11
So I had a pet mouse who got cancer and passed away. My other poor little mouse was very distraught after her passing. She got sick and kept scratching at her right ear. Her right ear got little red scabs and her head appeared to be stuck in a tilted position. I came home today and noticed she seemed to be paralyzed on one side. I do not know any mice vets in my area and went to petsmart where I bought my little mice. They are very rude and not helpful in any way. Please if anyone knows anything please help me.

We have two female mice, and one of them will randomly decide to "clean out" the cage...stuffing as much bedding as she can through the cage slats...she does this whether the bedding is clean and fresh or in need of a change. She will refrain from doing it for a while, then one day just pick up and start doing it again? Reasons? I have tried two different types of beddings (recycled cellulose/cardboard).

Someone help me to find out why my daughter's pet mouse's ear fall off? She was holding it and the things ear just came off...this is not a joke.
Ela - 2010-05-01
Hi I have a query about my female mouse when I bought her coat was a sandy blonde colour n she had light black patch of fur on her bottom end. She now is getting more and more patches of black fur all over. Is this normal for a mouses coat to change colour?.. And another thing was that she won't use her exercise wheel n I'm worried she might become too fat :(

Bad Dreams
Find a Conversation

For the last week I have had these crazy dreams, last night I think was one of the most disturbing where I was being attacked by animals and suffocated a Tiger that was trying to hurt me.
|Wed, 10-05-2011 - 12:05pm
((Hugs)) hun, you'll get there.
|Wed, 10-05-2011 - 1:25pm
You're definitely not alone sweetheart. I get them once in a while too. Just had one the other night where my tummy had shrunk down and my uterus was only at my pubic bone. Scared the jeebees outta me when I woke up. Course I had to whip out my doppler right away to listen to my LO's HB. ;)
It's so natural to have bad dreams and they are soooo vivid during pg too. It's just your mind's way of working out fears or other stuff going on in your life. For me, I have to be really areful what I watch before bed, cause I will inevitably dream about it and it gets all twisted up in my mind too.

Inexpensive and fantastic seafood along the New England coast?
- r
- ragamuffin Mar 2, 2009 12:14 PM
I'm going to be driving up the coast, from Providence, RI to Eastport, ME, over the course of a week. I would love to eat at fantastic, inexpensive, hole-in-the-wall types of places along the way. Seafood is preferable. Any suggestions?
re: emilief
I'm arriving in the area on April 22. Hope the place is open by then!
re: ragamuffin
One of my favorite places, by far. According to their website they open in early May.
There are a lot of folks who can answer this question far better than I can for the long stretch of 95 past Boston, but, in the Boston area, I'm going to go ahead and put Kelly's Roast Beef in Revere out there. It doesn't necessarily meet the "fantastic" requirement, but it definitely hits the "inexpensive, hole-in-the-wall" requirement. The seafood is fresh, and, while it is not as good as almost anywhere I've been in Maine, it's better than anywhere else I've been around Boston. And it's famous. And the roast beef is pretty damn decent.
re: danieljdwyer
Essex has numerous clam shacks such as Farnham, the Clam Box and Woodmans. I think you should go north, then return and stay a night and have lunch.
re: trufflehound
I would avoid Woodman's, an overpriced, mediocre tourist trap. Farnham's is good, but the Clam Box is by far the best of the three. BTW, The Clam Box is in Ipswich, not Essex.
re: Passadumkeg
Jordan's Snack Bar, Rt 1 Ellsworth opens the 11th, best fried clams I know, but ain't cheap. French fries are worthless.
re: Passadumkeg
OMG....I used to work with the owner wife....LOL. Never ate there....but the place was always packed when I drove by.
re: westernmaine
Ruthie & Wimpie's, Hancock, Me. Cheapest lobster I know. Last season, a lobber & corn on the cob, $9.95.
re: Passadumkeg
So pass what do you tink of Helens?....I think the Machias one is the real deal.....OMG the Grape Nut pie!....I'll stay in the hotel to eat it....
re: westernmaine
The Ellsworth Helen's is subpar; the one in Machias has gone down hill too. We too prefer Blue Bird Ranch. But some items are bad too.
I think LeGarage in Wiscasset is open, I think they close for either January or February. They have an interesting mix of foods, some maine classics like finan haddie. I send a lot of folks to the Robinhood Meeting House in Georgetown, best cream cheese bisquit in the world and great local food. Kind of pricey for what you are looking for but always worth it. they will do a great taster.....
If you want to splurge a little, check out the Back Eddy in Westport, Mass. It's closed for the winter but reopens in a few weeks.
I really think it's a great place for very fresh, well-prepared seafood. Swordfish, scallops, fried clams, fish and chips, etc. And the sunsets are not to be believed.
Actually, from what I've read about what the "clam shacks" in Essex are charging these days, the Back Eddy barely qualifies as a splurge.
re: im hungry
Tall Barney's in Jonesport is super cool. In Machias, Bluebird Ranch is probably a better bet than Helen's - but neither can compare to Tall Barney's for real downeast character. In Cape Elizabeth, The Good Table is always very good. In Scarborough, Chowderheads always has superb fried seafood.
re: Passadumkeg
Some locals do feel that way. However, the food is at least as good as before and the prices, although higher, are still pretty modest if you're "from away" - or even just from outside Washington County.
re: JakeN
Yes the food is good, but the food prices are high even for Maine. The restaurant is in Jonesport, Maine, an extremely rural and isolated town.. This is why locals harbor such hard feelings toward "summer people".
I merely present the local perspective.. I no longer take my own kayaking clients there.
re: Passadumkeg
This is sad when it happens, especially in Maine. Locals are turned off to a good resto because of price and it gets the lable of a "tourist trap". How do you stay priced right for the off season and still cater to a crowd that seasonally may require or expect something different??
re: jspear
Tall Barney's is most definitely not a tourist trap. It is far off the beaten tourist paths. The clientele is still primarily locals, even though some locals object to the higher prices. The prices are still far from high, but anytime prices have to be raised some people will naturally object. However, it could not have continued as a going business unless the new owner had increased the prices moderately. Still an excellent value.
re: Passadumkeg
i don't understand why you'd want to "boycott" the restaurant and deny the workers in that restaurant of much-needed income themselves... you say it's an isolated and extremely rural town, but not for your "paying" kayakers touring the area ? is that your way of "supporting" the locals ??
re: chessqueen
The original owner of Tall Barney's is from NJ, the new owners are from out of state as well,and they hire no or one local(s) (washing dishes?). $72 for 4 lobster rolls? Once burned, twice shy. Go if you wish, but no more for moi.
My favorite coastal seafood restaurant is Petey's Summertime Seafood in Rye NH
They have a great assortment of baked, broiled and fried seafood. My girlfriend and I are really fond of their fried whole belly clams, fried native shrimp and their fried mushrooms. I hear their clam chowder is quite good as well.
They should be opening for the season this week or next
re: TimW
I can't rave enough about the Wharf Tavern in Warren, RI these days. There's a new kitchen manager apparently, and he is doing incredible things - in a variety of price points - with lobster. The dinners have been delicious (and enough to split or take home for leftovers). The appetizers are also incredible, and can be a meal in themselves.
On Tuesday eves, they do a $10 buffet (a variety of seafood, pastas, meats, vegetarian dishes) that's worth going to as well. On Sundays, they do a $10.95 brunch that has been incredible. Ask for a table with a water view!
re: StevensAve
Unfortunately, Bob's has taken quite a dive over the past year or so. Several posts on this from a number of folks. Really a shame...it was my go-to place in the Kittery area.
re: StevensAve
I'd all but forgotten about Gilberts. Do they still offer their chowders in a bread bowl? Their seafood chowder is amazing as well.
"Rudy's on the Cape" in Cape Elizabeth. It shares the dining room with a convenience store. The food is fresh, delicious, and cheap ($12 will buy you a feast that you will talk about years hence).

The OAC wanted to make the Your Weight Matters National Convention a reality for any individual with a desire to learn more about their weight and health, and this includes those who may not have the financial means to cover all the costs associated with taking part in an in-person meeting. In response to the growth of the Convention, along with the need for individuals to have access to the right education about weight and health, the OAC proudly created the Convention Scholarship Program to award grants to fund or offset the associated expenses in attending the Convention.
In 2014, the Scholarship Program awarded 13 scholarships totaling more than $10,000 in assistance. The OAC would like to thank the Obesity Research Team at George Washington University for their time and objectiveness in reviewing all Convention Scholarship Applications. The OAC looks forward to continuing the Convention Scholarship Program next year!

Vikings Not Overlooking 1-7 LionsPosted by on November 12, 2009 – 2:05 pm
You might think a 7-1 team coming off a bye and with a 3-game lead in its division might overlook a 1-7 opponent it had already beaten once during the season. But judging by the comments from Winter Park today, especially those from offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, the Vikings don't appear to be falling into that trap.
On paper the Vikings-Lions matchup is more like a mismatch. But anyone who has watched this series lately knows the games tend to be close. The Vikings have dominated in the win column against Detroit in recent seasons, but most of those wins haven't come easy. Even this year the Lions led Minnesota at halftime before the Vikings eventually pulled away and won by 14.
"Every time we've played Detroit, it's been a dogfight," Bevell said to reporters on Thursday. "Because obviously they're a divisional opponent; we know each other in and out. We know personnel in and out. Any time you play division (opponent), I know it's cliché to say, you really have to throw out the records and you have to bring your 'A' game."
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said yesterday that he's noted how hard the Lions are playing for new head coach Jim Schwartz. Bevell issued a similar sentiment when discussing the Vikings opponent this week.
"The one thing you can say about Detroit is they're playing hard," Bevell explained. "He's (Lions Head Coach Jim Schwartz) got them flying around, particularly on defense. They're tackling the ball well. I think they're doing some good things, just not getting the end result that they're looking for."
Because the Vikings have a solid group of veterans leading the team, it would be a surprise to see them come out on Sunday without focus. Many of the Vikings core players have been through bye weeks before and rise to the challenge of regaining mid-season form immediately after a bye.
Increasing the likelihood that the Vikings will be sharp in their 1st game back from the bye is the fact that the coaching staff seems determined to not allow their players to overlook this particular 1-7 team.
"You have to make sure the guys are prepared; that they're ready; that they know what they're going to see," Bevell insisted. "And they have to make sure that we play at an intensity level that they're unwilling to match. We can't say 'hey, we have to play up to theirs.' We have to set it and make them play at ours."

I absolutly agree with the fact that the Vikings shouldn't over look the Lions. Mostly because when teams are just written off as "Inferior" they come back to bite ya. Losing to the lions this Sunday would be a very bad thing in the sense that losing to a team that's been stuggling as much as the lions have would be embarrasing.
Go Vikings!!!

The Lions always play the Vikings hard. I never assume we are going to roll over that team. They're a good team too. Just dont have it in the win column.

Add personality to your drinkware with this DIY coffee mug.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
1. Create a sentiment background using a dye based ink pad to create a watercolor effect.
2. Attach the cling stamps to the Fiskars Stamp Press, ink the stamps before each impression, and starting in the lower left-hand corner, stamp a consistent pattern over the blank cardstock. The grid lines on the Stamp Press helped me to keep the pattern aligned and evenly spaced.
3. After using a Fiskars rotary trimmer to cut the tags to 3 inches high x 2 inches wide, I used more stamps from the For the Birds stamp set on the tags.
4. Next use a rotary trimmer, this time cutting strips of from my second sheet of cardstock to 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch. You can distress the edges of the strips with your fingernail.
5. Punch a hole at the top of the tag. Then make the burlap fringe by pulling out some of the threads from the piece of the material, which is simple to do since burlap has such an open weave. Follow the simple visual steps in the photo to loop the threads through a hole in the top of the tags.
6. The final step is to make the burlap roses. A very quick and easy job! Use a pair of Fiskars Amplify® Scissors to cut a strip of burlap 1 1/4 inches wide and about 18 inches long.
7. Fold one long edge over and glue it down to prevent unraveling of the burlap. This will be the edges of the petals. Starting from one short end, begin rolling the strip, gluing along the bottom edge as you go. Be sure to keep the top loosely wound and create small folds periodically as you roll, gluing those down as well. If the rose reaches the size you like before you finish rolling, just cut off the rest of the strip. Glue the roses to the tags, stick them in a little basket, and you have some sweet gift tags or thinking-of-you cards ready on a whim.

The deep strangeness of Israel's national security debate
Buried within James Risen's interesting New York Times front-pager about the easing of Iran tensions is an even more interesting story about the deep weirdness that is going on within Israel's national security establishment on Iran:
At the same time in Israel, the conservative government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been rocked by a series of public comments from current and former Israeli military and intelligence officials questioning the wisdom of attacking Iran.
The latest comments came from Yuval Diskin, the former chief of Shin Bet, Israel's domestic security service, who on Friday said Mr. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak should not be trusted to determine policy on Iran. He said the judgments of both men have been clouded by "messianic feelings." Mr. Diskin, who was chief of Shin Bet until last year, said an attack against Iran might cause it to speed up its nuclear program.
Just days before, Israel's army chief of staff suggested in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the the Iranian threat was not quite as imminent as Mr. Netanyahu has portrayed it. In his comments, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz suggested that he agreed with the intelligence assessments of the United States that Iran has not yet decided whether to build a nuclear bomb.
Iran "is going step by step to the place where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb. It hasn't yet decided whether to go the extra mile," General Gantz told Haaretz. He suggested that the crisis may not come to a head this year. But he said, "Clearly, the more the Iranians progress, the worse the situation is."
Last month, Meir Dagan, the former chief of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, said he did not advocate a pre-emptive Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear program anytime soon. In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Mr. Dagan said the Iranian government was "a very rational one," and that Iranian officials were "considering all the implications of their actions."
As someone who thought the Iran rhetoric coming from Jerusalem was decidedly overheated, I nevertheless have more mixed feelings about these developments than, say, Peter Beinart. What's disturbing is that even though Israel's actual opposition party is evincing many of the same sentiments as the former military officers quoted above, they are not the ones moving the policy debate -- it's the ex-military/intel guys.
That's a problem. As much as candidates for higher office like to talk about "consulting the commanders on the ground" and the like, big decisions about national security policy should be the province of elected leaders. Civilians need to be in control of these decisions -- the moment that elected leaders give up this control, then the voters have forfeited the most vital decisions of a republic. This is why, in the United States, one of the rare sources of continuing bipartisan agreement is that when military commanders voice their policy opinions to the press in a way that contradicts the President, they need to be canned.
Now, recently retired military and intelligence officials are in a slightly different category, but there's still a danger here. I respect that these ;people should have a voice, particularly if they feel their country is on the precipice of a policy disaster -- but should their voice be louder than that of the main opposition party? I don't think so, and it's a sign that there's a problem with Israeli democracy if that's the case. I don't think this is entirely the fault of ex-IDF and Shin Bet leaders, mind you -- Netanyahu and Barak are part of the problem as well. Still, at least the latter people won elections and must go back to the voters again.
Developing... in a very problematic manner.

Elizabeth Warren: Big Banks Must Stop Trying to Stall Reforms to the Financial System
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Senate Dems are making the final push on financial reform this week, but will big banks really change the way they do business? Or will we still be pawns in a game rigged in their favor? I caught up with Elizabeth Warren to talk about the need to reform Wall Street culture, the pernicious influence of bank lobbies, and the debt-fueled threat to America's middle class. Warren will discuss these issues and more at this weekend's Hamptons Institute symposium, sponsored by Guild Hall in collaboration with the Roosevelt Institute (details below).
Lynn Parramore: Has the financial crisis changed the culture of Wall Street?
Elizabeth Warren: I would have expected the financial crisis to sweep through Wall Street like a hundred-year flood — wiping out old business practices and changing the ecology profoundly. So far, the financial services industry has seemed to treat the crisis like a little rainfall — inconvenient, but no significant changes needed. The real question moving forward is how the industry will respond to Wall Street reform and growing public anger. Will it react to all the new cops on the beat just by hiring more lobbyists? Will it continue to spend $1.4 million a day to beat back anything that could mean more accountability and oversight? Or will the financial services industry finally begin to rethink its business models, lobbying approach, and attitude toward the public?
Parramore: Have unregulated financial products slowed our economic recovery?
Warren: Let me put it differently: meaningful rules in the consumer credit market can accelerate economic recovery, I really believe that. Rules would increase consumer confidence and, more importantly, weed out all the tricks and traps that sap families of billions of dollars annually. Today, the big banks churn out page after page of incomprehensible fine print to obscure the cost and risks of checking accounts, credit cards, mortgages and other financial products. The result is that consumers can't make direct product comparisons, markets aren't competitive, and costs are higher. If the playing field is leveled and the broken market fixed, a lot more money will stay in the pockets of millions of hard-working families. That's real stimulus — money to families, without increasing our national debt.
Parramore: Why is marketplace safety so much harder for people to accept than safety in other realms?
Warren: Think about it: cars, toys, aspirin, meat, toasters, water — nearly every product sold today has passed basic safety regulations well in advance of being marketed and sold. But consumer credit is a kind of buyer-beware, wild west. That is partly the result of history. Usury laws that existed since Biblical times, through the colonial period and into the 1980s, provided basic consumer protection. Once those laws were quietly undercut, the industry moved to a tricks-and-traps business model. The big banks would promise something for free, like credit cards or checking accounts, or for very low cost, like teaser-rate mortgages, then make their money on the back-end with fees and interest rate escalation. Most people don't know they have been fooled until it is too late. Last year, for example, families paid a total of $24 billion on overdraft — mostly on "free" checking accounts. People can see exploding toasters, and the newspapers run plenty of headlines about lead in children's toys. But smaller hits, day after day hitting millions of people, don't catch the same kind of attention — even though fixing those hits will help make people much more secure over time.
Parramore:What are the consequences of distrust in the marketplace? How does it affect our social fabric?

Wed, Jan 28, 2009 (BabyCenter News) — Markwins Beauty Products has announced a recall of about 75,000 lip gloss key chains in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The metal clasp attached to the key chain contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause serious health effects. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves lip gloss with a metal clasp key chain attached to the cap by a chain. The lip gloss container features the words "Lip Gloss," "Brillant á lèvres," "Fantasy Makers," and "from the creators of Wet n Wild."
The lip gloss key chains were sold at Rite Aid, Kmart, Fred Meyer, and Wal-Mart Stores nationwide during October 2008 for about $1. They were made in China.
• Take the key chain away from your child immediately and contact Markwins Beauty Products for a refund or exchange.
• Call Markwins Beauty Products toll-free at (800) 626-8878 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific time, Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website.
• See a photo of the recalled lip gloss key chains on the CPSC's website.
• Keep abreast of children's safety recalls by checking our recall finder.

A Note from Reflections Chair…
Dear OCCPTA Presidents,
Welcome to the 2014-15 school year. As the Orange Community Council's REFLECTIONS Chair, I would like to invite and encourage YOUR school to participate in the National PTA's REFLECTIONS Art Program!
REFLECTIONS is an arts and recognition program that invites students to create original works of art inspired by a pre-selected theme and recognizes them for their efforts (2014-15 theme is: "The World Would Be A Better Place If…").
This highly popular program is open to all schools with PTAs, is free to students and takes place at our schools between the start of school and October. The kids need to complete their projects by mid-October because the 1st place artworks are due to me at the November Executive OCCPTA meeting. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to identify a parent volunteer at your school ASAP!
There is much information about the program at: http://occpta.wordpress.com/reflections/ http://www.fourthdistrictpta.org/reflections/ http://www.capta.org/sections/programs/reflections.cfm or http://www.pta.org/reflections
I am also available to answer any questions your volunteers have. I have chaired the program at Linda Vista Elementary School for the last 7 years, so hopefully I will have any needed answers.
PLEASE OFFER REFLECTIONS AT YOUR SCHOOL! With YOUR support and encouragement, we can keep the arts alive in Orange County! Let's provide our students with this priceless opportunity to be creative! Our kids are talented, let's give them a chance to tap into it and show it off!
With very best wishes,
Michelle Deziel Hernandez

Who is PTA?
Orange Community Council of PTAs (OCCPTA) is at the school district level. Chartered in October 27th, 1926, we encompass all of the schools within Orange Unified School District. We currently serve 27 unit (school site) PTAs.
We have the pleasure and the responsibility of leading our units. We act as a conduit for information flowing from the unit and council levels to the state level and vice-versa. We work in partnership with Orange Unified School District, and provide parental input on a variety of issues. The officers and chairman of OCCPTA work closely with our units to ensure that they have the training, mentoring, information, and guidance they need to be successful leaders and advocates.
In turn, the units provide these same services to their units. This web site is only one of the tools we provide for the edification of our members. In addition, we coordinate attendance at the annual California State PTA convention each spring, and we will begin hosting Summer Leadership Trainings in 2014.
The OCCPTA board is made up of members from a variety of units. They are exceptional leaders who have devoted many years of service to this organization. Take advantage of their collective knowledge by utilizing the tools that they provide both online and off.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site. We hope you find it a valuable resource. So, who is OCCPTA? We are the middle link in the chain of child advocacy that includes Units, Councils, Districts, States, and National PTA.
In short, we are you!

Tenemos el placer y la responsabilidad de guiar a nuestras unidades. Servimos como conducto de información entre las unidades y el Cuarto Distrito y vice-versa. Trabajamos conjuntamente con el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Orange y aportamos opiniones como padres de familia en una variedad de asuntos. Los funcionarios y directores de comités de OCCPTA trabajan estrechamente con nuestras unidades para asegurar que tengan la capacitación, orientación, información y guías necesarias para que nuestros miembros sean líderes y defensores exitosos.
A su vez, estas unidades provén este servicio dentro de sus escuelas. Este sitio de internet es uno de los recursos que proveemos para la educación de nuestros miembros. Asimismo, cada primavera coordinamos la asistencia de nuestros miembros a la convención de PTA de California, y comenzando el verano del 2014 ofreceremos Capacitaciones de Liderazgo.
La mesa ejecutiva de OCCPTA está conformada por miembros de distintas escuelas. Son líderes excepcionales que han dedicado muchos años de servicio a esta organización. Aproveche el conocimiento colectivo al utilizar las herramientas que proveen tanto en línea como en persona.
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de visitar nuestra página web. Deseo que lo encuentre como un recurso valioso.
Así que, ¿quién es OCCPTA? Somos el eslabón central en la cadena de defensa de todos los niños que incluye unidades, concilios, distritos, estatal y PTA Nacional.
¡En resumen, somos ustedes!
