Angie's List is a US-based, paid subscription supported website containing crowd-sourced reviews of local businesses.
For the quarterly period ending Jun 30, 2014, Angie's List had total revenue of US $78,896,000. Net income for the same quarter was US $-18,223,000.[5]
Formerly headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Angie's List was co-founded by William S. Oesterle and Angie Hicks in 1995. It was inspired by Hicks' search for a reliable contractor in suburban Columbus on behalf of Oesterle, a venture capitalist and her former supervisor. She relocated to Columbus to join him in creating Angie's List, which started as a call-in service and publication for reviews about home and lawn care. Hicks went door-to-door, signing up members and collecting ratings on local contractors. For a year, it was called "Columbus Neighbors", the name and idea being patterned after the Indianapolis, Indiana-based community publication, Unified Neighbors.[6] After solely recruiting more than 1,000 members in Columbus within one year, Hicks turned to Oesterle to raise money from investors in order to develop the business at a steady pace.[7]
In 1996, Angie's List purchased Unified Neighbors from creator Bill Corbin and relocated its headquarters to Indianapolis. By 1999, the database of local services and reviews was moved to the internet. During the ensuing years, their customer base and business relationships grew throughout North America, while also expanding to include additional service industries such as health care and auto care.[8]
Since 2010, Angie's List has expanded in the United States, and the current number of members is over 70,000. Yet despite this growth in membership, Angie's List has never had a profitable year.[9]
Ratings methodology[edit]
Angie's List grades companies using a report-card-style scale, which ranges from A to F; these ratings are based on the following criteria: price, quality, responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism.[3] Each company has its own page, which is composed of a description of its business along with the customer reviews. The aggregate grade is drawn from the combined reviews and grades given to the businesses from the consumers.
Angie's List has been criticized for the fundamental contradiction between its claimed philosophy ("Companies can't pay to be on Angie's List") and the conflict of interest caused by reliance on advertising revenue for 70% of cash flow. [10] Answering a complaint from a user, David Segal found that when subscribers post a negative review of a company to Angie's List, a staff member discusses it with them in an attempt to rectify the situation. If the company is one that advertises with Angie's List, the negative review will be removed and then the customer must give an A or B grade. The company's effort to keep advertisers happy reveals their conflict of interest.[11]
The October 2013 issue of Consumer Reports Money Adviser reported:
"We think that the ability of A- and B-rated companies to buy their way to the top of the default search results skews the results. Cheryl Reed, a spokeswoman for the company, disagrees. 'We don't believe that,' she says. But Angie's List marketing materials intended for businesses say that companies that advertise get 'an advantage of increased exposure' that 'can propel you ahead of your competition.' They get 12 times more profile views than companies that don't buy ads. Angie's List encourages businesses to solicit reviews by giving customers free, postage-paid forms, stickers on thank you notes, and Web links embedded in e-mail invoices. But experts who study survey techniques say that can create a bias for positive reviews. Angie's List misleads consumers by prominently promising that 'businesses don't pay' and that it's a consumer-driven service supported by membership fees. But almost 70 percent of the company's revenues come from advertising purchased by the service providers being rated. Angie's List tells consumers that it provides 'reviews you can trust,' and takes steps to detect and remove fraudulent positive and negative reviews. But company investment disclosures say that 'we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our reviews.' " [12]
Competition is a major concern. Competitors such as Yelp offer similar reviews, with a much larger database, for free, causing concern for the future of ANGI's paid membership model. Angie's List reviews for home services are liable to be hundreds of miles away, and not local as advertised.[13]
Investors worry that the company has been in business for more than 18 years, yet never has shown an annual profit, and that valuations of the company are unrealistic based on the actual revenue the company produces.[14]
There have also been complaints that the stock has been excessively diluted by gifts of stock to business insiders, so that if the company ever did show a profit, little if any would accrue to outside investors/ stockholders.[citation needed]
According to The Washington Post, in March 2007 SCS Contracting Group sued Angie's List and two members for libel because of negative reviews of the company. One of the sued members remarked, "if [contractors are] able to sue, then the value of Angie's List depreciates.... People aren't going to be willing to submit reviews if they could be threatened with a lawsuit."[15] On 7 October 2008, the plaintiffs dismissed the complaint against the two members. Summary judgment was later granted in favor of all defendants.[16]
In 2014, Angie's List Inc. paid $2.8 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that it automatically renewed members at a higher rate than they were led to believe.[17]
Financial information[edit]
Angie's List estimated that its annual revenue in 2008 was $58 million, generated primarily through advertising in its newsletter and membership fees.[18] However, in 2012, 69% of Angie's List's revenue came from advertisers. [19]
Membership fees are based on volume of service providers at a given location. For example, Angie's List reported the following annual membership fees as of 4 December 2009:
- Charlottesville, Virginia – $10
- Stamford, Connecticut – $32
- Beverly Hills, California – $36.25
- Pompano Beach, Florida – $47
In 2010, Angie's List raised a total of $25 million in capital from investors. In September 2010, Wasatch Funds and Battery Ventures invested $22 million.[20] In November 2010, Saints Capital led an additional funding of $2.5 million.[21]
On November 17, 2011, Angie's List began trading on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol ANGI. It priced 8.8M shares at $13 and opened for trading at $18, a 33% premium.[22]
However, shares have remained below $13 since March, 2014. [23]

Just checked in on the game and I'm shocked. Guess Bailey was watching Cueto and wanted to try and one-up him. This pitch efficiency is awesome, if admittedly helped by an ineffective Pirate offense.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Stuck on Level 444!
Hi, I'm stuck on Bubble Mania Level 444! I can't light up the blue bubble and the switch for it falls down when I unlock the chain above. If you've done this - you know what I'm talking about...so help me please!
Answer from: Zditty
I don't have a ton of time at the moment to do a step by step, so let me tell you one thing. On this level, you have to add bubbles in some places to keep things in place. Normally, if you hit a lock on a chain, the lock opens and sometimes things fall, here on this level, at least in some parts, you have to pre-position some of your own bubbles to keep things from falling. So look closely at the chains and look at what is where, and throw one of your bubbles in certain areas so things don't fall.
If you are still having trouble and just can't figure it out, say something on here somehow and I will do the step by step for you.
Answer from: KayJoe
Thanks! That's worked for me... Thanks a lot :)
Answer from: Sky
One additional note:
Green goes to blue
Blue goes to light blue
Light blue goes to green
Answer from: Bubblepro
Still stuck and can't figure out where to throw bubbles to keep the first blue switch from falling....help?
Answer from: Sky
Attach it to the left chain.
Answer from: Bubblepro
Now I am stuck on the last switch...how do you keep it from falling? I've tried attaching it to the wall but it still falls.
Answer from: Jummy
Help! Please, nothing I've done has kept the switch from falling :(
Answer from: Sky
For the second switch, you have to make sure you open the chain with two colors. Otherwise you will not be able to connect to the left chain. Toss a color to the left chain before opening the lock so you have two colors to work with.
Answer from: Sky
For the last switch, connect the light switch cluster to the left side of the cluster by the lock. Hit the flip flop bubble with a different color so that you don't break the bubbles connecting the two clusters. Good luck.

Honoring the Enslaved Community
Often, in program planning, the staff of the Hermitage must revisit the rewards and challenges of designing events and activities that best tell the story of a group of people whose names, relationships, work, and origins are not always clearly known. Black History Month 2014 successfully celebrated the theme "African-American Contributions to Nashville." By exploring different ways in which African-Americans contributed to the success of the city of Nashville, visitors had a chance to engage with their heritage, gain new knowledge, or try their hand at some practical skills. We were gratified to have the participation of several important partners: The Friends of Tennessee State Library and Archives and historian John F. Baker provided their genealogical expertise to assist visitors with understanding the complexities of African-American genealogy. The Hermitage staff led a textile preservation workshop and discussed the impact of archaeology to understand the work of clothing the enslaved at the plantation. Dr. Carole Bucy, Davidson County Historian, provided context to understanding women's roles and relationships in early Nashville. Supporting all these events was the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, whose generous sponsorship of Black History Month events at the Hermitage allows us to bring in speakers and activities that enrich the lives of our visitors.
Black History Month always concludes with a memorial service designed to pay final honor to the 150 people enslaved at the Hermitage from 1804-1863. In partnership with the National Museum of African American Music, one of Nashville's newest cultural institutions, The Hermitage hosted The Princely Players for a concert of song and spoken word performance that chronicled the African experience in America, from slavery through emancipation. The jubilation present in the singing transmitted to the audience and led to a deeply poignant tribute to the men and women of the plantation. In keeping with a Hermitage tradition, 150 white flowers—each bearing the name of one slave—were placed on the Enslaved Memorial near the Hermitage Church. Descendents of the enslaved community joined us and we were honored by their presence.

Marie Panich,
Long Time MPTV Auction
Volunteer, Passes Away at 91
Long time MPTV Auction volunteer Marie Panich recently passed away at the age of 91. Mrs. Panich was one of four volunteers at the beginning of this year with over twenty years of service to MPTV. Mrs. Panich made all the soups for commissary and assisted for many years in the slicing and dicing that fed hundreds of people each day during the nine-day run of the MPTV Auction. It was truly a family affair year after year. Mrs. Panich started with her husband, her sister Katie and her husband, four daughters--Judy, Susie, Jeanne and Carol, Uncle George, granddaughter Jackie-- and this year her great granddaughter joined the group. Mrs. Panich will truly be missed.

Kelly Clarkson Marries Brandon Blackstock!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Talk about keeping a low profile.
Kelly Clarkson married Brandon Blackstock yesterday at Blackberry Farm, a luxury resort in the Smoky Mountains of Walland, Tennessee.
But there were no photographs from the event, no major announcement from the original American Idol, not even a press release from her rep.
Instead, there was simply the following Tweet from someone named Renee Beranek, who had first-hand knowledge of the nuptials:
"Kelly Clarkson got married at Blackberry Farm today.. My sister is a chef at Blackberry Farms... CRAZY!"
Clarkson and Blackstock got engaged in December and had originally planned a major, widely attended affair.
But Clarkson then told People in August that she and her fiance were "overwhelmed" by the planning and about to become very busy in their professional lives, with Clarkson soon to release a holiday album and Blackstock managing clients around the country such as Blake Shelton.
So Kelly said the couple was going to elope - and they appear to have remained true to their word.
The only hint that a wedding was even afoot came in the form of a marriage license obtained by the adorable twosome on October 18.
Clarkson - who is now taking on the role of stepmother now Blackstock two children - has never been a singer who craved the spotlight, typically letting her incredible talent do the talking and PR for her.
She's been a THG favorite for years and we wish Clarkson and Blackstock a lifetime of happiness!
UPDATE: It's confirmed! Kelly has posted the following wedding portrait:
Hello, will you please view my relationship poem, go to Google, type in my name, Derek Newell Poet, then read my poem, ''EXPRESS IT'', and please, be excellent to one another. Thank You.
My last pay check was 9500 dolr working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... JOBS81.CoM
Beautiful pictures
I love Kelly Clarkson, this is beautiful. And the dress, amazing!
Lol+d for prezident!! yea right! Ur angry go see a shrink u dick
I have no anger whatsover!! seems u shld b pointing the finger at yourself! Lol+d ha ha ha ha!!! get the fuck over it looooser!!!
U fucking people are the reason why this world is the way it is!! Get over yourselves and get a clue to a real talented singer who minds her own business and made money for actually being talented! I can just imagine the ghetto half u losers live in and that shit ass rap music u listen to by criminals and drug addicts!!!!!
Perhaps you should reply directly
to the commenter instead of this
'U fucking people' rant. You make
your world the way it is so don't blame your problems on some
benign comments about Kelly
Clarkson.Also, you need to keep
your ideas of what kinds of folks
listen to rap because you know
nothing about this.I listen to
many types of music,including
some rap.That makes one well rounded & more attuned to ideas
of different people.So stop beaking off & try to find out
where the real source of your
misplaced anger is coming from.
People like that ass~hole is probably sitting at a computer with no job and jerking off blaming other people for his problems. I listen to all kinds of music all kinds. I am black American I love country
Pop classic I love my tapes from back In the day.
Jeffery Osborne Lisa Lisa cult jam.
but I do not like rap.
Beautiful dress.They look very
sweet together.
Yes she is beautiful and so is her dress.
Finally a star is able to have a beautiful wedding, without all the hoopla of an expensive, show-off wedding. Congrats to Kelly and Brandon!
yessssssssssssssss, totally agree. she has always been amazing.

Posted Friday, October 7, 2011 --- 7:20 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A shirtless, 48-year-old, opera-loving cage-fighter-in-training is attracting a cult following in Milwaukee.
His fans dubbed the Milwaukee resident Milverine because of his hairy resemblance to the comic book character Wolverine.
In a year, he's amassed about 2,500 Facebook followers from Milwaukee and around the world.
The Facebook fan page was started about a year ago by Tim Panicucci, who sees him walk past his workplace near downtown Milwaukee every day.
People take pictures of him and post them on the site and note the time and location.
Only recently did the Milverine himself, John Hamann, find out about the page. He says he's amused by it.

Tight Money in Hard Times
Banks have largely recovered from the worst effects of the recession, but they remain so wary that loans are difficult — sometimes impossible — to get for would-be home buyers as well as businesses in New Jersey.
More money for banks, less for you
Many of the nations biggest banks, flush with deposits from investors seeking a safe haven, are sitting on a mountain of cash theyve accumulated since the recession, but they are making loans to home buyers only at a trickle, a NJ Press Media investigation found.
- Mar 7, 2012
Weighing race in home loans
If you think it's tough qualifying for a mortgage these days, try getting a loan to buy a home in a black or Hispanic neighborhood. It's twice as hard.
- Mar 8, 2012
Low-income borrowers have help available
Listening to all the talk about banks raising the bar for what it takes to get home mortgage can be discouraging for aspiring homeowners.
- Mar 8, 2012
N.J.'s businesses are hard pressed for loans, too
Business lending during the recession froze so much that business owners had to reach into their own pockets as well as their families' and friends' to get off the ground.

Aveva (Cambridge, U.K.; www.aveva.com) has launched AVEVA Information Standards Manager (AVEVA ISM), a software product that enables both EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) contractors and asset owner operators to achieve greater control over critical engineering information across their projects and enterprises. It does this by rationalizing existing class libraries and imposing consistent and compliant standards that improve information quality and reduce both project and operational risk.
AVEVA ISM can be rapidly deployed and is fully compatible with software systems from other vendors. With today's massively increasing quantities and variety of asset life cycle information, this powerful enterprise-level application offers increased value to both project and operations management processes without the need to replace existing authoring products. The quick deployment and open design of AVEVA ISM delivers rapid ROI to EPCs and owner operators.
"AVEVA ISM is able to establish and govern all asset information standards, across any number of projects, and is easier to implement and maintain than any competitive solution," explains Derek Middlemas, COO and head of Enterprise Solutions, Aveva. "This launch strengthens Aveva's Digital Information Hub capabilities, and like all Aveva's solutions, has been built around the principle of creating and maintaining an accurate Digital Asset."
Using AVEVA ISM, owner operators benefit by being able to fully and accurately communicate their information standards requirements to their contractors, who are thus able to execute projects more quickly and to the necessary contractual standards. Contractors who work with multiple clients, each with their unique information standards requirements, can more easily manage concurrent projects to different standards. This enables valuable efficiency benefits, saves cost and time, and reduces opportunities for costly errors and rework.

What sort of goofy things do you do to make your kids laugh??? or What was it that your parents did to make you laugh???
So a couple of friends were talking food one day...and out of that conversation came the Burrito Challenge.
So now Jeremy is going to eat Chipotle Burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner as a way to raise money for a children's hospital in Minnesota.
It got me to thinking...if you were going to pick one food to eat 3 meals a day... What would you pick???
Yesterday I said something that offended a friend, which I feel really bad about. Today, upon hearing how I had upset her, I wrote her an apology letter.
It is very therapeutic to apologize, and something that I feel is part of the very fiber of who we are as Christians.
I thought that you could use this space to say I am Sorry for whoever you need to apologize to.

That comfortable spot on a guys chest under his shoulder and above his nipple. Where girls (or guys) usually put their head when cuddling with a guy.
Mmm, his shoulder boob is so soft and squishy, i'm going to fall asleep now.

March 16, 2009
Dave Leitao has resigned as the head men's basketball coach at the University of Virginia. This takes place effective immediately.
Leitao just completed his fourth year at the head of the program. He began his duties in April of 2005, coming to the Cavaliers after serving as the head coach at DePaul. He finished 15-15 in his first year and led the Cavs to an NIT berth.
2006-2007 saw his most successful season in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers finished 21-11 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, falling to Tennessee, 77-74. For his efforts, Leitao was awarded ACC Coach of the Year honors.
After that, however, things seemed to begin slipping, as Virginia ended 2007-2008 17-16 and appeared in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational.
This season was the worst since Leitao arrived, as Virginia finished 10-18, 4-12 in the ACC. It marks the first season Virginia has missed the postseason since Leitao's arrival.
While the University is reporting that Leitao resigned, CBSSports.com and FOXSports.com have reported that Leitao has been fired. CBSSports.com has cited Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel as a possible replacement for Leitao, while FOXSports has said Xavier's Sean Miller could also be a candidate.
Stay tuned to CBS19, ABC16, WAHU FOX27, and www.wcav.tv for the latest on this developing situation.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
You will sometimes find it useful to take the data from two separate fields and merge it into one field. For example, a well-designed database has separate fields for Last Name and for First Name. But there are times when you want to have that person's full name in one field. Here is how to do that. I am going to open up my SalesReps table and move it into Design View. First I need to add the new field. I will right-click on the gray box to the left of Address and choose Insert Rows. I will type in capital F, Full, capital N, Name (FullName) with no space.
For my Data Type, I will drop it down and I will choose Calculated. Immediately, the expression builder appears. Double-click on the First Name in the Expression categories column and it will appear at the top. To add more text to the string, we need an ampersand or an and sign, go ahead and type it to put it in a space, type a quotation mark, and a space and then a quotation mark again. The quotation mark tells Access to add on whatever is inside them.
In our case we need a blank space between the FirstName and LastName. Next we need another ampersand to connect the LastName to the string ([FirstName] &" "& [LastName]) Now go back to the Expression Categories and double-click on LastName. When I click OK, I can now see my calculation in the Field Properties on the Expression line. You string should look like this, bracket, FirstName Bracket, ampersand, quotation mark, space quotation mark, ampersand(&), bracket, LastName bracket.
Typo's matter, so make sure everything is exact. When I am done, I will go back to the data sheet view, it will ask if I want to save the table and of course I will say Yes and now look I have a new column called FullName. I will hold my cursor over the line between them and double-click to stretch it out and now I have Jordon space Hinton, Lilah Douglas. And what's nice is if I make any changes to my data, they will immediately show up in the calculated column. Concatenating fields can also be used to add text after a number.
For example, if you want to put the word inches after a measurement or anytime you want to combine data from several fields.

Fix in 2.0.5: security vulnerability of the component.
Fix in 2.0.6: link changes
New in 2.0 (for J1.0 and J1.5): +component, + router (J1.5 only), +languages, +storage of custom code into a database table too, integration of all Jumi extensions.
Fix in 2.1.0 beta3: security vulnerability of the component.
New in 2.1 (still beta): direct code including into Joomla! content, pdf rendering, clearing the code from RSS feeds, security filtering option, debug mode in a plugin and a module, etc., etc.
New version for J!1.6 is ready. There is a problem with the module, so Jumi plugin is converted from Content to System, so you can place jumi syntax wherever you want in the site. There are also problems with the i18n, probably it is an issue in the core.
Jan 18, 2013: New version for J!3.0 is ready!
If you find issues, please report them: http://code.google.com/p/jumi/issues/list
NOTE: You can install 2.0.6 version on top of the previous version, without uninstalling it.
Keywords: custom code, custom php, custom script, include php, php code

Using Jumi I was able to implement this script in a matter of minutes, then using Joomla's default publishing access systems was able to restrict access to the module to "Special" meaning normal registered users couldn't use it only Managers or better.
Thanks Guys - This is SIMPLY BRILLIANT and now opens endless possibilities for me and will make it even more powerful/secure when I add the JACL component to the site.....
I'm Excited!!!
Here are the html codes from the russian website:
I used the JUMI module to output the html code for the weather conditions in the left position and directed it to open a small weather.php file in which I used tactic shown in some of posts here (multilangual modules http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,62236.msg329684.html#msg329684
AND it worked.
[editor: post snipped to allow the review to make sense as much was removed by JED before it was presented for review]
I' had a lot of trouble putting some flash code in my page and I'ld ever use the WYSYWYG editor than everyhting would be lost.
Thanks to jumi I can now put the behavior in php and then use this extension to call with parameters
Using parameters I was able to write one include file for all 16 calls to the code!
I caught one bug and the author was prompt in fixing it up. I cannot say enough good about the plugin and the author! Keep up the great work!
Like it was said, homepage of jumi creator isn't fully in English so it's sometimes not so "natural" to navigate but I found all information I needed without too much problem.
I haven't read a lot about it yet but my only concern would be the opportunity for article writer to include any script in their content. I think there must be some ways to avoid this but like I said, I haven't read about it yet.
I wanted my system admin to see the server stats, site states and page stats all in one place on the front side. With Jumi I can now do that!
Great module, will put most other modules to rest...
This extension is simple to install and just as simple to impliment into your content and/or modules.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the documentation for Jumi is a little dificult to follow due to the language barrier (for us English speakers anyway), but that shouldn't stop anyone from giving Jumi a try!
AWESOME job Jumi! Thanks a ton.
In my case i have included a form created in dreamweaver which has both javascript and php code in it. And it works!! You really made my day, - so thank you for this great extention.
Great work!
Second, you can now include not only php scripts but static html pages without using wrapper, and much more.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From Barnes & Noble
One British reviewer described Ralph Steadman's dog subjects as "ink blots with wild eyes and wagging tails, or sinisterly anthropomorphized in evening dress. They're bug-ridden things slobbering or scratchings in frantic lines and spots. Dog dictators, fashion dogs and beer dogs scamper across the pages." That blurb only begins to capture the friskiness of this gonzo cartoonist's artwork. This collection of canine paintings shows that even the lowliest mongrel can be transformed into a four-legged Mona Lisa under Steadman's scrutiny.

Skype to give away wideband audio codec
Are you listening comfortably?
The original bullet from Skype reads
"- improving audio bandwidth going from 8 kHz to 12 kHz" which is lazy-English for "Raising the upper frequency limit from 8kHz to 12kHz", .......... no mention of the lower end.
For any pedants watching, 8Hz lower limit would be a waste of engineering resource: there is an empirical "rule" which works quite nicely and is based loosely on what "sounds right". This states that the product of lower & upper frequency limits (actually more like -3dB points) should be 1E6, i.e.have a geometric mean of 1000 (so, 300 to 3400 is fine, as is 100 to 10kHz etc. etc.) If you flout this guidance big-time, things can sound quite odd, as you can sample by listening to a European AM station on Hi Fi speakers.
So, for the Most Satisfying Listening Experience, we'll settle for 80Hz-12kHz ta very much

Yes, it is complex, but to be clear, the interference is suffered by the receiver (i.e. the "third party"), not the Transmitter.

Dear Simon:

The answer is no, 'cause the BMW tripometer is just that: not terribly accurate, more terribly optimistic. Anal measurement of fuel in v. miles out gave 53mpg actual. Still not bad for a medium size powerful car.

Cook Time:
15 mins

Recipe courtesy of America's Test Kitchen. I love to watch this show and learn new/different methods of cooking and baking. This just sounds like something we would really like. "If using fillets that are 1/2 inch or thinner, reduce cooking time to 3 minutes per side. If using fillets that are 1 inch or thicker, increase cooking time on second side by 2 minutes, moving the fish to the cooler side of the grill after the second side has browned. If you cannot find red snapper, striped bass, halibut, and catfish can be substituted. Making the slashes in the skin requires a sharp knife. If your knife isn't sharp enough, try cutting through the skin with a serrated knife. However, cut in one direction (don't saw) and be careful not to cut into the flesh. If you choose not to eat the skin, be sure to remove it after cooking rather than beforehand. Serve fish with lemon wedges and our Rémoulade or our Pineapple and Cucumber Salsa with Mint." Skin-on fillets will buckle when grilled because the skin will shrink back, pulling the flesh along with it. The fillets will remain flat if the skin is scored first, which prevents it from contracting more quickly than the flesh.

Yay silver! Nathan is having a nap and I shall have one, too. Had a shocking night last night. Nathan was good but I have a horrible tickly throat cough!
Posted 08 August 2011 - 11:54 AM
Have just put Luke down in his cot for the first time, he really is getting too big for the bassinet so time to change over. I am going to have a nap too as the tickly cough and snotty nose has got me.
Posted 08 August 2011 - 09:59 PM
Gisses, I tried to reply to you last night but lost it - maybe the old thread had already been locked.
Just wanted to offer some sympathy, and say sometimes we really need to ask for what we need straight out. Would your DH give you regular time out if you asked him for it? Is there anyone else who can do some babysitting for you?
Anyway, hope you are feeling better about things today.
Posted 09 August 2011 - 10:39 AM
Brownbear - Toby is gorgeous! Such a big grin!! We're planning a road trip driving from Sydney to Melbourne in a month's time - any tips?
geckogirl - Don't feel guilty about tummytime. You can easily add in tummytime everytime Liam wakes up before he feeds. Its especially good to get into this habit as you don't want to feed immediately after awakening (or they'll expect to be fed every time they wake). I also incorporate tummytime if I need to dash out to get something or a quick bathroom break. I also think it really depends on the baby because DS could lift and turn his neck at 2 weeks (and he was 2 weeks early!)
gisses - great pic of Leah! Looks like she was mid sentence and you surprised her LOL. re: me time - very important!! Have you read up on Tracey Hoggs EASY method? The Y stands for YOU =) Agree with au*lit that you need to get DH to give you timeout. Even just a walk around the block can help!
purple_daisy - hope things have improved! Like poorginger, I'm not looking forward to the 12 week growth spurt!! By wonder weeks calender, this is in around a weeks time for us - eep!!
runnybabbit - Nathan is SO cute! Love the soccer ball on his head. Funny because I did the same thing a few weeks ago and popped a chicken ball on DS's head. Is he eurasian? Pic haha
chantelM - Is Axel better now?
Speshelle - Olivia is so sweet! I just want to hug her heehee
AFM - DS has again changed his sleeping habits. Last night, he wouldn't go down for his 7pm bedtime properly until after I gave him another feed at 9pm afterwhich he slept until 3am! Then he slept in bed with me from 4am to 8am with only one resettle at 5am. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, so not too sure how I can replicate that lol

raindodot - Axel is starting to get better. Still coughing but is getting much happier again the last two days...
Time out - I am also one that doesn't really get time out. I try to take 10 mins a night in a hot bath but that is about it. My MIL has babysat once. I am actually having a girls night this Saturday and I can't wait! So excited, just going to be hanging at a friends house, drinking and listening to some music. Some much needed me time

Hi everyone.
Had a job interview that went pretty well today. I wasn't actively looking for work, but I think three hours a fortnight (on Saturdays) is pretty practical, and will be extra pocket money for a meal out or something. And maybe as time passes I'll increase my hours; there appears to be the scope for that, so that's good. I should start at the end of this month. DH can have Nathan while I'm at work and I'll only have to express one feed and then express after work.
It'll be nice to feel like a professional again and think about work stuff for a change!
raindotdot Yes Nathan's Eurasian, but I think he looks mostly like me (Chinese)! He certainly looks very much like I did as a baby.
Nathan has been a shocker in the car lately. Every drive has ended in his super sad face and him gasping for breath from crying so hard. It just breaks my heart.
Posted 10 August 2011 - 04:20 PM
runnybabbit: Congrats on the job! Sad about Nathan and the car. We usually rely on a car ride to calm Liam down before we get home. Makes it easier to settle him into a nap.
raindotdot: Felix is so cute!
AFM: I can't make Liam out at the moment. Had a fantastic day where he slept most of the time then yesterday it was the day from hell where he hardly slept at all. I only got about 3 hours sleep last night. Had mother's group this morning so finished feeding him there about 11:30am and he's been asleep pretty much ever since. It's now 4pm and he hasn't woken up yet! I hope that doesn't mean he's going to be awake all night. I'm going to have to set up a routine. I just didn't want to wake him this arvo because its been so hard to get him to sleep for the past day or so.
Highchair: Jackpot on allclassifieds.com. Scored an Ikea Antilop high chair secondhand! We rarely go to Sydney and I'm not travelling all that way for a high chair so its great to pick one up locally and a bit cheaper! Won't be able to use it until he's much older but at least its ready to go.
Engagement Party: I have an engagement party to go to in about a week and I've been begging the groom to tell me what they would like as a present. Basically to take pity on me as it is so difficult now to go out shopping with a baby when you don't know what you are looking for. All my shopping trips are now well thought out campaigns!
Unfortunately DH won't be able to go with me so I'll be there by myself with Liam and it doesn't start until 7pm! I won't be able to stay long as Liam will just get strung out being out so late. I'm a little bit worried about attending my first social visit without help. Its easy at mother's group as everyone is being possetted on and breastfeeding and changing nappies etc. Very different when you're the only one with a baby. Ah well. Another milestone, I suppose.
Hope everyone has a great evening with lots of quietly sleeping babies!
Posted 10 August 2011 - 09:51 PM
Quick post.
I am desperate for some me time. Lachie is cat mapping and Olly wants to be carried all tithe time, the house is a mess and I have quite a few card orders. I have also had nipple thrush, the flu and mastitis so have been really run down. Dh is also away from last Saturday until next Monday.
Have Lachie's shots tomorrow
Posted 12 August 2011 - 04:57 PM
Mands sorry to hear that. Can you ask your folks/in-laws/friend from mother's group to come over for a few hours?
Geckogirl we must be from the same place. I get a lot on allclassifieds too, got so many ripper bargains before DD was born. I keep an eye on it for mcns too.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Posted 12 August 2011 - 05:24 PM
purple_daisy ILs took DS1 for two nights which was good and the boys went to kindy. the anti=biotics kicked in and are working wonders. thanks for your support
Gecko_girl Good luck at your engagement party.
Runnybabbit heard any more on the job interview?
Gotta run. Lachie has dropped his arvo nap (of only 30 mins) but from 5:30 on he is feral.
Chat soon
Posted 12 August 2011 - 08:49 PM
Mands you're not having a good run, are you? Glad to hear the antibiotics have kicked in. Hope you can get a bit more help and some rest. Make sure you're looking after your immune system. Vitamins C & D and some zinc might help. Does your DH work FIFO?
Geckogirl can you order a present for the engagement party online instead of going out to the shops? Peter's of Kensington have great homewares at excellent prices. I can understand your apprehension about the party. Henry has been going to bed around 7 pm. The other day my brother came over so we kept him up to see his uncle. By 8/8.30 he was tired and crying. I can imagine he'd be no fun at a party and I wouldn't like our chances of settling him to sleep in someone's bedroom (plus I'd be too worried I wouldn't hear him if he was crying).
I finally got around to reading the photo uploading instructions. So here is Henry!
Posted 12 August 2011 - 10:45 PM
OMG au lit Henry is beautiful! I love babies in stripes; Nathan has lots of stripey clothes, too. Henry is just GORGEOUS, I love that little smile.
mands I hope the mastitis clears up soon, and hope that thrush stays away -- I'm trying to stay away from antibiotics as much as I can now. Big hugs and hope things settle down for you soon.
The job interview went well, so I'm going to start in a fortnight and work every second Saturday morning. Each shift will only be three hours, so adding travel time, I'll only need to express one feed for DH to give Nathan.
At our mum's group meeting today we propped the babies up in a row on the sofa and took a photo -- Nathan with his five girls. So cute.
Posted 13 August 2011 - 06:02 AM
RunnyBabbit Great on the job. I am soooo sick of being on anti-biotics and all the infections I have had in the past 6 months except the jaw infection have been staph infections . And as soon as I go on the ABs the bloddy thrush kicks in. I am pumping myself full of probiotics at the moment. I am even breaking open capsules and rubbing them on my nipples so DS can get some and so it stops the thrush.
au*lit DH is a long haul Qantas pilot he is on the B747-400s. I am taking zinc tablets and multi-vitamins and . Henry is adorable. I think we have had a gorgeous bunch of babies
Got to run, Lachie seems to know when I am on EB
Posted 13 August 2011 - 09:38 AM
Oh Mands - you poor thing. I was feeling sorry for myself with DHs shift next week, but at least I am healthy and I will still glimpse him for an hour or so each day! I hope teh drugs kick in proper this time and you can get on top of it all.
runnybabbit - congrats on the job - seems to work nicely for you! Plus being back in the workplace may also help a bit with the PND. Nathan is just adorable - in fact all our bubs so far are!! Must be autumn babies!
au_lit - another gorgeous little man!! I feel I should be baggsing one for Tabitha to marry!!! She has a black/white stripery suit too - I am sure everyone thinks shes a boy when she wears it but I don't care - i call it her jailbreak outfit.
geckogirl - Tabitha also threw in some monster sleeps last week for 2-3 days (like 3-4 hours) but was then back to her 1 hourly naps. I figured she is doing some growing, and I am trying really hard just to go with the flow for now as they are still so little and doing so much developing and growing and figuring out of the world.
as for the party - we have a carry cot that attaches to the pram that we sleep her in while we are out for dinner etc. I give DD her last feed and then pop her down; when we get home I top her up and pop her down in her cot - would Liam sleep while you were out? Or is it too much drama getting him to go down? He may last a bitlonger at a party - much more to look at. Anyway, i am sure the couple will understand - its tricky with such a new baby and being by yourself.
AFM - off to Spotlight with my mum and sans children today to get christening supplies. Sad that I am so excited about it...
Posted 13 August 2011 - 09:22 PM
Awww shucks... thanks girls. I think he's pretty gorgeous but it's lovely to hear other people say so too! The top in the photo is a 000 and only just still fits him. I put it on at every opportunity and I'll be sad when I can't get it on anymore.
Mands a pilot - how glamorous Really, I'd struggle to cope (I count down the hours until DH gets home some afternoons) so I reckon you deserve a medal. Hopefully the free/cheap flights to holiday locations make up for it, at least some of the time.
Congrats on the job runnybabbit! Sounds perfect - I reckon 3 hours a fortnight is all I could manage at the moment. My mums' group has far more girls than boys too. I'm really going to miss the group when we go back to Perth - I've been meaning to ask you how the groups work over in WA. It's probably too late for me to join a mums' group but too early for playgroup. Maybe we can start up our own Perth group. I'm going to be in the Western suburbs, at least to start with, anyway.
Redsgirl I think that people think Henry is a girl in some of the outfits I dress him in. Especially as I bought a lot of gender neutral stuff before he was born. Doesn't help when people refer to him as 'she'. But then, when my niece is dressed in navy blue she gets called 'he', even when the navy blue has flowers on it! I guess it doesn't really matter that much, and once he's old enough to care he'll be able to tell people he's a boy!
ETA Redsgirl are you having a christening for Tabitha? Did I miss that in earlier posts? Hope it goes well and she doesn't cry! Should be lovely for you

au*lit I used to be a flight attendant too . When he is home he is home for min 5 days solid, so that is great too.
RedsGirl I do that with Lachie's sleeping when out too, but we have a capsule that attaches to the pram
Posted 14 August 2011 - 01:16 PM
Mansa - Hope you are feeling better soon. It is so hard to get over an illness when you don't have any time to care for yourself.
au*lit- Henry is absolutely beautiful
AFM - Axel had a couple of days where he was having a nice long middle of the day nap! It doesn't happen so much now. He tends to only sleep for about 30-40 mins at a time during the day but as soon as I get him up he is cranky and wants to go back to bed within half an hour. I think he is confused as to what he wants to do
I am going back to work on 6 Sep. I am so nervous about leaving Axel. I wish I could stay home with him forever

Mands - for the thrush - use live yoghurt - works much better than probiotics which won't actually work if you put them on your skin. Most supermarkets do a natural live yoghurt - it works wonders and is so much cheaper than canesten!
Posted 14 August 2011 - 08:25 PM
Fay thanks forthe tip. I have some natural yoghurt in the fridge
Posted 15 August 2011 - 09:20 AM
RedsGirl & au*lit: Thanks for the advice on the engagement party. I really wish we had cot attachments for our stroller. We don't really have anything to settle him into when we go out. I tried out some slings on Saturday but Liam just screamed - he hates them. So I'll probably just have to find a lounge chair and settle in for the visit. I don't expect to be there for very long! As for presents, if I had more time, I think Peter's of Kensington would be a great idea. I'm doing more and more shopping online these days! Unfortunately, there won't be enough time for delivery. However, I have managed to pin the couple down to a specific present so I can focus my shopping.
au*lit: I agree with everyone - Henry is gorgeous! My DH and I each have our favourite outfits for Liam. So I've bought the same outfit in a couple of different sizes so we get to enjoy them a bit longer as he grows!
runnybabbit: Congratulations on your new job! Its nice to get out of the baby environment for a few hours and remember there's a whole other world out there!
First Father's Day: I'm getting a mug for DH with Liam's photo on it and with DH's favourite catch phrase he uses with Liam (you can put whatever text on you want). But the best thing is that it has almost the same background pattern of DH's favourite Liam outfit! I've ordered two and will put one away as a keepsake of DH's first Father's Day so even if the first gets broken it won't matter. Gotta love online shopping!
Gotta run. Liam's started crying!

Hi everyone.
My names Emma, I'm new to EB and I'm also a first time mother so I joined a chat group to get to know some mothers whose children were around the same age as mine (although larger and more developed in comparison). My twins Theodore and Ebony were born on the 12/05/2011, 5 weeks early.
I've seen a few pictures of your children and they are absolutely adorable.
I hope to get to know some of you in future and that I will be welcome to join in the conversation.
Emma, Theo and Ebby.x
Posted 15 August 2011 - 01:30 PM
Welcome Emma.
My little one was 4 weeks early and I think there is another who was 5 weeks early too . How are your beautiful twins going?
