Prep Cook Interview
I applied in-person – interviewed at Cracker Barrel.
Two interviews, one with mid level manger and then general manger. Fairly innocuous interview. If you have experience you can slightly negotiate for your starting salary.

Prep Cook InterviewApplication Details
I applied in-person. The process took a day – interviewed at Cracker Barrel in May 2012.Interview Details
I'd applied to this company online 3 previous times with no response. I decided to visit the one nearest to me. I walked in and explained to a new manager that I'd applied online previously with no response. She got a senior manager who gave me a paper job application to fill out right there and then. three different and very personable waitresses stopped by the table I was sitting at to tell me how much they enjoyed working there and which shifts I should take according to company needs or to "get noticed." One waitress told me not to work in the kitchen, but on the floor as a server because she easily made 50 dollars an hour as a server. I finished the application and met with the general manager. He said a couple of different shifts were available and had 2 or 3 more interviews to conduct that same afternoon and someone would get back to me either way. That was yesterday, May 14th, 2012. I'm still waiting and hoping.Interview Questions

Prep Cook InterviewApplication Details
I applied in-person. The process took a week – interviewed at Cracker Barrel in June 2011.Interview Details
Talked to kitchen supervisor one day for about 10 minutes. He told me to come back a few days later and talk to the General Manager. Talked to her for about 15 minutes. Had to wait a couple more days for my background check to come back. When it did I was offered the job. Management is very nice and upbeat. They also know what they are doing. You go through a training program before you actually start your job. It is pretty thorough, and honestly I have never gone through anything like it for a kitchen position. But you learn a lot in training. You take tests on the computer, there is a lot of reading about the business, what you are expected to do, OSHA MSDS sheets, menu items and how to plate up. I've completed 15 hours of only training so far and I have only worked for three days. And I am not finished with my computer part. Overall though it seems like decent job (since I haven't actually started cooking yet).Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsDepending on what position you apply for, there is a maximum pay rate to start out at. You can get a raise in 30 days. Another raise is available 60 days after that. Another raise is available after 6 months. The economy is poor right now, and this is a better job than most right now that pay $8.50 per hour.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

There's an old saying—Rome wasn't built in a day.
By the same token, DJ Khaled's empire wasn't constructed overnight either. Its foundation lies embedded in his tireless work ethic, perceptive vision, spirited hustle, and ability to adapt. Since first entering a radio booth in 1998, he went from a mainstay on Florida airwaves to a Grammy Award-Nominated multi-platinum artist, producer, and mogul. It's been a wild ride to the top punctuated by moments of struggle and moments of triumph. It's taken time and patience, but it's proven his power all the same.
Now, Khaled's kingdom extends across all of hip-hop. Entering into an innovative label deal with Cash Money Records in 2012, the C.E.O. of We The Best Music Group encompasses a record label, a management company, a publishing company, a production company, and his own full-fledged studio. Basically, it embodies every facet of the music industry powerhouse and so much more.
To date, Khaled has sold over 14 million singles and garnered 2008 BET Award for Best Collaboration as well as 2008 MVP of the Year and 2010 DJ of the Year at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. His first Grammy Award nomination arrived for the platinum-selling "I'm On One" featuring Drake, Rick, Ross, and Lil Wayne, which also topped the Billboard Hot 100. All the while, he's maintained his profile on-air and even served as the President of Def Jam South.
Meanwhile, the We The Best Music Group roster boasts talent such as Mavado, Vado, Prospect and Ace Hood—whose platinum-selling "Bugatti" featuring Rick Ross and Future has become one of 2013's breakout hits. As an artist himself, his sixth studio album Kiss the Ring saw him enjoy his highest debut, reaching number four on the Billboard Top 200.
Throughout it all, his experiences remain unbelievable. With victory comes even more responsibility, attention, and pressure. That's why he's dubbed his seventh full-length offering and third for We The Best Music/Cash Money Records, Suffering From Success. At the same time, he's got the strength to carry hip-hop into its next golden age.
That age began with the record's first single "No New Friends" featuring Drake, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. Over an airy piano melody, thumping beat, and production from Boi-1da, Vinylz, and Noah "40" Shebib, these three rap icons simply scorch before leading right into the ubiquitous refrain. Instantly, the track resonated with fans everywhere, accruing over 7 million YouTube/VEVO views. Its already surpassed gold status and it hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100, making for Khaled's sixth Top 40 single. Everyone has been singing, "No New Friends."
On the other end of the spectrum is the sexy "I Wanna Be With You" featuring Nicki Minaj, Future, and Rick Ross. Co-produced personally by Khaled and Lee On the Beats, it's a sultry and seductive jam that gyrates through a slick beat before converging on an unforgettable hook.
Across the entire track-listing for Suffering From Success, Khaled delivers one banger after another. Lil Wayne sets fire to the guttural "No Motive," while Puffy joins an all-star cast of Rick Ross, Meek Mill, T.I., and Swizz Beatz for the epic "I Feel Like Pac / I Feel Like Biggie." "I'm Still" could be a spiritual successor to "Take it to the Head" as it's led by a massive Chris Brown hook and supported by fiery verses from Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and Ace Hood. Then, J. Cole and Bas heat up "Hell's Kitchen," while "Never Surrender" feels downright inspirational as it pairs soul superstars John Legend and Anthony Hamilton with Scarface, Jadakiss, Meek Mill, and Akon. All in all, it's another formidable effort, only firming his stronghold on the game once more.
This empire will never fall. It's here FOREVER!

World Plumbing Council taps Chaney as new chairmanSeptember 20th, 2011
Edinburgh, Scotland — GP Russ Chaney, CEO of The IAPMO Group, was elected chairman of the World Plumbing Council (WPC) for a term covering 2011‐13 during the 9th World Plumbing Conference, Sept. 7‐11, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Established in 1990 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the WPC maintains NGO status with the World Health Organization and carries out a mission to unite the world plumbing industry and promote its role in improving public health and safeguarding the environment.
Chaney served two terms on the WPC Executive Board, from 2002‐05 as a Director and as Deputy Chairman from 2008 until his election as Chairman this month.
He began his career in the plumbing business as an apprentice in 1974, obtaining his
Master Plumber license in the state of New Jersey in 1982 and his New Jersey Plumbing Inspector license in 1987. He ran his own plumbing business until he laid down the tools in 1990 and joined the National Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors (PHCC) as director of Technical Services in 1992.
Chaney served as the secretariat of the National Standard Plumbing Code and the ANSI A40 Safety Requirements for Plumbing Code until joining IAPMO as CEO in June 1995.
IAPMO joined the WPC in August 1995 and tapped Chaney as its representative. He was elected to his first three‐year term on the Executive Board in 2002 and was reelected in 2008 as Deputy Chairman.

Letters to the editor
Bush leaves legacy fit for conservatives
To the editor:
Despite Caroline May's dour prediction, President Bush will most definitely leave behind a strong conservative legacy ("Bush leaves no great conservative legacy," Sept. 14). But it will be the one most characteristic of American conservatives: heedless greed, hypocrisy and moral and political corruption; money and sexual scandals, no-bid contracts to political cronies and $12 billion dollars unaccounted for in Iraq.
R.T. Castleberry Rice Staff, Purchasing Agent
Common reading rebuff unproductive
To the editor:
I was disheartened to read Karen Gerken's rather petulant remarks on the first choice for the Rice common reading ("Give students choice in common reading plan," Sept. 14). She offers no substantive critique of the content or style of Elizabeth Kolbert's Field Notes from a Catastrophe beyond the most prosaic and tiresome student refrain: It was boring. Nor does Gerken provide any hint about what would classify, in her mind, as an "interesting topic," other than to imply that nonfiction books simply cannot connect with today's college students.
A common reading is not meant to serve as the final word on a subject. Rather, it is intended as a jumping-off point for precisely what Gerken advocates: "various avenues" for students to "research and exchange ideas about [their] new knowledge." Had Gerken sought out additional information on global warming through podcasts or YouTube clips, she might have been able to enumerate more clearly why, in her estimation, Kolbert's book was so inadequate.
The Rice students I have long known and respected are set apart from their peers by an unusual degree of intellectual maturity, curiosity and a willingness to move past what they are "accustomed" to doing. How disappointing, then, to see Gerken proudly proclaim that the class of 2011 has bonded through disdain for a laudable, if imperfect, effort to enhance Rice's academic experience.

McCarthyism rears head at UC-Irvine
To the editor:
The University of California at Irvine has withdrawn a job offer from a "liberal professor." Anyone who has been at a university for a while as faculty or an administrator knows that the lame explanations by Chancellor Drake are nonsense. What Drake is really worried about is the potential loss of funding. Yes folks, McCarthyism is back! At least at Irvine.
Dieter Heymann
Earth Science Emeritus Professor
(Editor's Note: Heymann was eventually offered the aforementioned job.)
Student action earns parental gratitude
To the editor:
We are the parents of a junior student at Will Rice College. Our daughter Katelyn Willis recently suffered severe pains in her abdomen and called the "clinic" on campus. She was then persuaded to pursue help at St. Luke's emergency room. She was without transportation but two Rice students, Marc Kashiwagi and Jason Ryan, came to her rescue. They literally carried my daughter to St. Luke's. She couldn't walk, the pain was so bad. They, Jason and Marc, stayed with her through the whole ordeal, standing shifts, so she wouldn't be alone, even though it lasted until 3 a.m. We just think your student body deserves the highest accolades for their caring camaraderie.
Gerald K. and Juanette Willis

Excellent ventless fireplace
By Tools
from Staten Island, New York
About Me Midrange Shopper
Best Uses
Fireplace arrived fully assembled. Took no time to set up. Accesss for gas line connection is on the right rear side. Electrical is on left rear side but they supply a long enough cord to reach an outlet on the right side of unit. Optional blower was a little confusing to connect since the instructions were very difficult to understand. Tried contacting manufacturer but they were unable to assist. Note that the blower mounts to inner rear wall. There is a small screw hole on the blower plate and inside the fireplace there is a receiving hole that must line up. The blower faces upward and the blower plate is all you should see when looking inside the unit from the front. Excellent unit warms the house quick. The blower is a bit noisy but needed to heat a large area. My floor plan is very open and airy this fireplace does the job. Hope this review helps you with your decision.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Detroit Raw by Sam Riddle
Hockey puck welfare
By Sam Riddle
Special to the Michigan Citizen
In a news report, the youngest member in the history of the Detroit City Council sounded as if she was challenging the old ways with old-fashioned common sense. "Why are we transferring over this (public) property for a dollar, when the value of the land is worth way more than that?" said Detroit City Councilwoman Mary Sheffield. "It's hard for me to just give away land with nothing in return."
Mere hours after those heart-warming Sheffield quotes, the Detroit Red Wings' new stadium land transfer was approved by Detroit City Council. It was no surprise that a valueless political recycle, George Cushingberry, would vote as he did. Cush reached out for an Ilitch life preserver. Petty cash rolls like that for a pizza delivery. But it was heart breaking as the youngest member of the Detroit Council went down an old path — taking care of the rich that already enjoy hundreds of millions in hockey puck corporate welfare and tax debt forgiveness — why, Mary? You are the Sheffield that was elected. "It's hard for me to just give away land with nothing in return." Hope you don't behave this way in other life matters, councilwoman.
Ultimately, if there was no community benefits agreement to this Detroit corporate welfare for a hockey puck why should Detroit City Council have supported such a one-sided Ilitch deal? Oops, forgot, the council really works for the democracy-destroying Negro proxy of the scuba diving Governor Nerd not the real people of Detroit.
You don't read the Michigan Citizen because you're looking for a church bulletin. I understand that. But I must write with constraints so Detroit Raw is simply not raw raw and this is a Detroit where even Deadline Detroit spanks with streetese. Tidy words that don't offend people elude me.
How in the hell do you explain the a-hole corporation that runs Northland Mall cannot even express sympathy for the death of a human being that died after having his last gasps for air choked off by chemical sprays and man-squeezing mall security goons?
A Michigan National Action Network (NAN) travel advisory may save lives: Don't shop Northland Mall — dangerous conditions exist there.
Some of you have been critical of the fact some like NAN inform the community through mainstream media. If you don't like it change the damn channel or leaflet your neighborhood in this cold azz weather. But the use of media, be it social or mainstream, is to inform as many people as NAN can as often as NAN can, even if cynical "know-it-alls" deliver negative commentary from the couch. KMA.
We must never let haters cause us to lose hope or dislike ourselves and never let haters make you weak in your faith. Keep the faith. Stay on the battlefield.

Bankruptcy Court Approves U.S. Steel Acquisition of National, Purchase Agreement Signed
Apr 22, 2003
Print this page
United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) confirmed yesterday that U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Chicago, IL, U.S. has approved its purchase of National Steel Corporation's integrated steel assets. U.S. Steel also announced that it has signed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with National, which was approved by the bankruptcy court earlier Monday. "We are extremely pleased that we have emerged as the successful bidder for National's world-class assets," said U. S. Steel Chairman and CEO Thomas J. Usher. "The acquisition of these assets will be a significant step forward in our strategy to grow profitably and to strengthen our position as a leading global provider of high value-added steel products." Under the terms of the agreement, U. S. Steel will purchase substantially all of National's steel-making and steel finishing assets and the assets of National Steel Pellet Company for U.S. $1.05 billion, including $850 million in cash and the assumption of $200 million of National's lease and contractual obligations. The agreement provides that net working capital will be at least $450 million on the closing date. U. S. Steel intends to fund the cash component of the acquisition through a combination of existing cash balances, credit facilities, and the issuance of debt securities. U. S. Steel said it will not assume any liabilities related to National's pension plans, which have been terminated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor will it assume National's defined benefit retiree medical and life insurance plans and, consistent with the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, the transaction will exclude all liabilities except as have been agreed to by U. S. Steel. The transaction is expected to close later in the second quarter and is subject to customary closing conditions. Based on a preliminary assessment, the company expects annual acquisition synergies of at least $200 million within 2 years of completing the transaction, plus the elimination of costs related to National's pension and retiree medical and life insurance plans, which have not been assumed by U. S. Steel. These savings are expected to result from a number of actions including increased scheduling and operating efficiencies, the elimination of redundant overhead costs, the reduction of freight costs and the effects of the new labor contract as it relates to active employees at the acquired National facilities. Savings related to application of the new labor contract to existing U. S. Steel facilities are in addition to this synergy amount. In total, the transaction is expected to be accretive to U. S. Steel's earnings and cash flow within the first year. In its order approving the sale, the Court found, among other things: that the U. S. Steel offer is the highest and otherwise best offer, that U. S. Steel will acquire the assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, and charges, that U. S. Steel will provide a greater recovery for National's creditors than would be provided by any other practical available alternative, and that the sale must be approved and consummated promptly in order to preserve the viability of National's business as a going concern. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement with National, U. S. Steel will acquire facilities at National's two integrated steel plants, Great Lakes Steel, in Ecorse and River Rouge, MI., and the Granite City Division in Granite City, IL; the Midwest finishing facility in Portage, IN., near Gary, IN; ProCoil Corporation in Canton, MI; National Steel Pellet Company's iron ore pellet operations in Keewatin, MN, and various other subsidiaries; and joint-venture interests, including National's share of Double G Coatings, L.P. in Jackson, MS.

We do an actual survey of every farm at the time of development. The corners are marked with iron pins hammered into the ground about two feet deep. So believe me, they are there! We understand that growing seasons and the elements can wipe away the survey ribbons and can bury the iron pins. We spend a lot of time and expense to make sure property lines are well marked. We will do our best to help you find your corners and lines. But remember, we may be sellers, but we are NOT engineers. If you need a line marked for a fence or due to a property line dispute, we will be happy to pass along the name and number of the engineer that did the original survey. The price of a new survey will vary due to acreage and drive distance for the engineer.
Taxes are due annually and are not included in the mortgage. Generally, property taxes are sent to whomever the property of record was on January 1 of each year. In most cases, we will get the first tax bill. We will go ahead and pay that bill, but then we will send you a copy of it with your pro-rated share that you will have to reimburse us for. The next year, you will receive the bill and will be responsible for paying it.
Also known as a percolation test or a soil test. This process tests the soil to assure that the soil drains well enough for a spetic tank to be installed. With few exceptions we have had the subdivision perked as a whole. All lots have been approved by the local health department to have a septic systems unless otherwise stated.
If the property has been previously lived on, there is the possibility that the land may already have one or both improvements. Hurdle Land & Realty does not guarantee the working condition of these systems. You can have them inspected for service by the health department in the county that you are purchasing in.
They do not have a toll free number at this time.
All payments are due at the first of every month and are considered late on the tenth. The payment needs to be received by this time, not just postmarked.
Currently we have land for sale in the following counties:
Georgia: Barrow, Burke, Butts, Carroll, Crawford, Henry, Jackson, Jasper, Newton, Putnam, and Twiggs.
Tennessee: Bedford, Coffee, and Lawrence.
South Carolina: Aiken, Greenville, and Laurens.
Kentucky: Allen
Alabama: Blount
This list is subject to grow and shrink. Be sure to visit the Location page of our site and get the most up to date availability. We are always looking for more!
We trust you for trusting us! Once you give us a down payment we give you possession of the property.
Due to differnt variables in each farm, we price them by the farm and not by the acre.
Since we are a small family operation with land in several states, we can't be there all the time. What we do have is an open invitation to visit ANY of our sites at ANY time. You have our permission to get out of the car and walk all over any farm you are interested in. For this reason we strive to have each farm clearly marked with for sale signs with terms listed along with pins marking the corners and survey ribbons marking the sides. If you call the office, it may be possible to make an appointment to meet someone if you are having a problem locating the farms.
Download one of our pdf brochures and you will find directions included. Be sure to look over the availability list before you ride out!
You may cut if for the purpose of clearing for a driveway or garden. If you plan on selling the timber, then you must have permission. Usually, if we grant permission, we will require the money received to go towards your loan balance since the trees are considered a part of your mortgage. No timber may be cut or sold without permission of the developer. Timber companies are required (by a higher authority than us) to contact the mortgage holder to get permission as well.
All farms are just as they were developed. Most farms have hardwoods and trees but some are more open. It could be that farms previously owned have been cleared to make space for a home, pasture, or garden. Why don't you just choose a location and print our directions and take a ride out and see for yourself. We give you permission to go to any of our properties and walk all over them.
Absolutely, we love to meet our customers! However, we do ask that you make an appoihntment. It does take us a little while to prepare all the necesary documernts. Our waiting room is small and uncomfortable, so we wouldn't want you to have to wait long!
We have some general pictures on this site. Some of them signify that they are NOT part of the actual development, so look close! The inventory changes so often it is hard to keep up moving that much data around the site. Besides wouldn't you rather go out and take a walk on your land before purchasing it? A site visit is required and it does a lot more for you than a picture!
Well of course there are closing costs, but you do not pay them!
We cover all the costs associated with the business side of the transaction. All you have out of pocket is your down payment and then the monthly payments that will usually start the following month. It really is that easy! We truly go to great efforts for you to have the opportunity to participate in the American Dream!
We would like for you to get it back to us with 7 days. It costs us to keep a farm off the maket. If you have a change of heart, just call us. We will understand, we promise!
Well of course you do! You must pay the down payment of each farm purchased. That small downpayment does not even cover the costs we incur in preparing just one set of closing papers for you. So if you buy more than one farm, it would really get expensive up front for us!
The timing of recording the warranty deed in your name varies by state.
Georgia: After 3 months of timely payments
Tennessee: After 6 months of timely payments.
South Carolina: After 6 months of timely payments.
In either case you may pay ahead to have these recorded early but both the Loganville, GA and the Holly Springs, MS offices need to be notified of your intentions prior to doing so.
What we advertise is our most liberal terms. It is a simple interest loan at 7.9% fixed interest for 360 months. These terms will never change once your property is secured. NEVER will your payment go up. If you would like to finance for a lesser period of time, just let us know and we can change it in order to meet your budget! Of course the payment goes up, but the amount of interest you pay goes down!
Anything that is paid over your monthly minimum is applied to the principal of the loan. If you plan on doing this, please write separate check and tell us it is a pre-payment. We want to be sure it gets applied correctly.
We do not accept credit cards for payment at this time. But we do have an Electronic Transfer option for your monthly payment. This allows for your monthly payment to be drafted straight from your account so it will never be late. Just go to the home page of this site and click on the Sign up for EFT link in the top right corner!
Yes, putting more down will lower the monthly payment. But this is not a car loan. It will take a significant amount to make a significant difference in the payment because the term is much longer than a car loan.
No way! You will only be charged interest for the actual time that you owe money AND only on the amount you owe. All pre-payments, no matter the amount, will come of the back end of your loan. 100% of pre-payments will be a straight deduction from the principal balance. This means that the loan will pay off early without penalty!
We cannot accept monthly mortgage payments to the Loganville, GA office. All payments must be sent to the Holly Springs, MS office. We DO accept down payments in Loganville.
You account number is located on the cover letter which is included in your land purchase packet. Also, just call us and we can give it to you! 1-800-762-4851
Send all payments made out the name of the develoment that you purchased in to:
Burch & Hurdle Building
P.O. Box 788
Holly Springs, MS 38635.
Remember to write your Account Number on your check. It would be helpful if you put it on the outside of the envelope too! Please do NOT send cash.
We require that you get us your down payment within 7 business days. If it is any longer than that, we have to place the farm back on the market. This might cause you to miss the purchase. So don't delay!
Send your down payment made out to the name of the subdivision you are purchasing in to: Hurdle Land & Realty P. O. Box 9 Loganville, GA 30052. We also accept money orders and cashiers checks. If you like to deal in cash, we prefer you come by the office. We would love to meet you! Please do NOT mail us cash.
You can make your check or money order payable to the farm name you purchased property within. (Ex: Barksdale Farms, Deep Lake Farms, Saw Mill Farms etc.)
In case you have not seen the rest of this site, financing is our specialty! We will finance you any of our tracts. Browse through the rest of the FAQ and our site. You will like what you see!

Pain Relief During Childbirth

Epidurals 101: Everything You Need to Know About Pain Relief During Childbirth- http://www.ivillage.com/what-epidural-childbirth-pain-relief-101/6-b-478004#ixzz24qjC292M
Have you thought about what kind of pain relief (if any) you'll want during childbirth? What's your plan?
|Tue, 08-28-2012 - 5:27pm
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 7:39pm
I am hoping/praying for a natural childbirth. It is what I have always dreamed of! Having said that, I do have some fears that I won't be able to manage the pain because I have a low pain tolerance. When I tell people I want to have a natural birth, I often get laughs or disbelief. It hurts my feelings because I feel like people don't believe in me. I know with the right mindset and supportive people I'll be able to do it though. I really would love to have a doula.

I remember being the first time mom wanting a natural birth and all the sarcasm from the family/co-workers and comments from the nurses. It sucked. It was hurtful. It was mean.
I ended up with pitocin and an epidural, but it was amazing anyway because I got to watch my son crown in the mirror. But I felt defeated, deflated, and just let down about the whole thing. I wasn't having failure to progress...I was having "nurses coming in freaking me out, hollering at me to get off the birth ball" syndrome. Luckily, my body did what it needed to and I avoided a C-section. *shrug*
With my second, I wanted a waterbirth at the hospital with a midwife that I *loved*. I had her in the back seat of the car and it don't get much more "natural" than that I remember some of the contractions being horrible and then in the middle I would think "but I'm doing it! I'm f***ing doing it!" and then I'd get through it and move on. It was empowering and awesome and I wish every woman that wanted a natural birth would be able to. It's not possible, but I still wish it...
This time, I'm planning a homebirth, so that's an automatic "no" to the pain meds. I'm completely fine with it and kind of excited...not for the pain, but for being able to labor and birth without random people that I don't know walking in and out, doing cervical checks, telling me to lay down when I want to stand up. I know it's gonna hurt like a m'er f'er and that's okay. I pray for a safe, healthy baby and mama and the rest will just be what it is.
I would say, plan for the kind of birth you want and don't beat yourself up too much if you don't get it. If you plan on trying without meds, wait until the last possible minute to go to the hospital because as soon as you check in, you're on their clock and playing by their rules. The last thing a woman in pain and in labor wants to do is try to fight for something she wants (no meds) or put up with snark ("oh, those 'natural birth' women always yell the loudest for the epidural.") Labor at home as long as you can.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 11:16pm
i've had 4 babies and 4 epi's and i can say that mostly it has been a great experience. i haven't had any weird side or after effects from any of them and with the third and forth birth the babies were breach and had to be externally turned so i am glad that they numbed me before that. but with the last one i was so numb i couldn't feel my feet. i had no idea when it was time to push other than them telling me and when i did push it was just sense memory and instinct.
I am kind of disappointed that i've never felt a real contraction. coming in at a scheduled time, getting the epi, and then having my water broken and starting the drip is convienient (and i was already at least 4cms dilated to begin with each time) but after 4 births i still have no idea what it's like to actually go into labor. I want that experience this time. I'd like the chance to labor at home for a while.
we shall see how it goes.
|Thu, 08-30-2012 - 9:12pm
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm taking childbirth classes at Vanderbilt [where I'm having Eli] and they start this Tuesday the 4th! I'm really excited! I hope they really go into relaxation/breathing techniques for pain management.

Tinley Park's Kevin Jackson thought he had destroyed his team's playoff aspirations.
What a difference a few minutes can make.
With Tinley Park trailing 23-21 with four minutes remaining, Jackson pounced on a Westinghouse fumble at the Warriors 23-yard line. Three plays later, Titans quarterback Christian Plumber scored on a 4-yard run, giving Tinley Park a 27-23 victory over Westinghouse in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs Saturday night at Lane Stadium.
"I feel like I'm on top of the world right now," Jackson said. "It's amazing."
Tinley Park (6-4) advances to the second round of the playoffs for the third straight season. The Titans will travel to face Joliet Catholic (6-4).
Westinghouse (7-3) rallied from a 21-0 halftime deficit behind quarterback Dejesus Eugenio (8-of-20, 124 yards). After a Carlos Singleton 57-yard touchdown run cut the Titans' lead to 21-17, Eugenio found Tobias Cook blowing past Jackson and the Tinley Park secondary for a 47-yard touchdown pass to give Westinghouse a 23-21 fourth-quarter lead.
"I thought I had ruined the whole the season for us," Jackson said of that Westinghouse TD. "I felt like the season was slipping away."
If the fumble recovery was the biggest play of the night for Tinley Park, Jackson's 68-yard touchdown return on an interception would be next in line. The junior safety was all over the field, even handled punting duties.
"It wasn't pretty, but we found a way to win," Tinley Park coach Nick Johnston said. "Give credit to Westinghouse. They were very well coached, disciplined and a real tough team. They deserve a lot of credit for making adjustments and coming back in the second half."
Preston Thompson ran 152 yards on 17 carries for the Titans.

The practice of medicine has evolved dramatically in recent years. There are many reasons for this changing landscape and the most important are those that promise a higher level of healthcare and service to the patient.
The burden of Medicare and insurer administration coupled with increased costs, decreasing reimbursements and delinquent payments by insurers have combined to put a premium on the quantity of patients seen as opposed to the quality of medical service delivered. The need to see more and more patients has greatly eroded the time a physician can spend with their individual patients.
The response to this situation is a new concept called a concierge practice. The term concierge may be defned as "at your service." Dr. Paul O. Jones and Dr. Hermes O. Koop (hermeskoopmd.com) are combining their professional experiences and training in order to offer their patients a more personal and comprehensive approach to the practice of medicine. In the concierge practice the patients pay an annual retainer that covers unlimited physician services throughout the year. This arrangement will allow the doctors to reduce the number of patients they have been seeing by at least 80% providing them with optimum personal attention to every patient.

Cliff Lee is gone. That ship has sailed. And in his defense, it wasn't about the money. Cliff enjoyed Philadelphia and took less cash to go there.
As for the Rangers, their next move should not be rushed. The worst thing to do now is to panic and spend money somewhere else just to "do something". I wouldn't overpay for Zach Greinke (KC wants the farm). I wouldn't overpay for Matt Garza, or anyone else that will require a ton of prospects.
If you remember, the Rangers shot to the top of the AL West division without Cliff Lee. They would have very likely won the division without him. I see nothing wrong with going in with the rotation as presently constructed and look to make another deadline deal to put the team over the top if they are contenders again.
There are other areas that they can improve the team without acquiring an "ace". They need a DH. They could use a defensive 3rd baseman. And you can always use bullpen help. Look for the "smaller" deal to improve the team and again, be ready to strike at the trade deadline.

JINGLE BELLE: STOCKING STUFFERS TPBstory PAUL DINIart STEPHANIE GLADDEN, VARIOUScover STEPHANIE GLADDENDECEMBER 8120 PAGES / FC / TRADE PAPERBACK$14.99
A gigantic treasure trove of new and classic Jingle Belle stories!
When Jing again breaks her parents rules, she is forced to spend Christmas Eve GROUNDED. But when Santa is also caught in a lie, he has to share the same punishment! Neither father nor daughter can leave the North Pole until they apologize, and with the contentious Kringles not speaking to each other, Christmas is doomed!
In SLAYBELLE, Jing teams up with Halloween witch Polly Green to create a new holiday horror movie. Their film features a psycho St. Nick's helper (played by Jing) who offs mall Santas in gleefully gruesome ways. "It's a Wonderful Life?" Not by a long shot!
The collection also features new and never before seen short stories, pin-ups and one-page strips staring Polly, Super Rica and Rashy, Ida Red, and other characters from the extended Jingle Belle universe. As a special bonus, it reprints the popular book-length story "Jingle Belle: Santa Claus VS Frankenstein!"

There is an interview with Ashton Kutcher in the latest issue of Elle magazine, because if there is one thing that the women of America want it is to hear what Ashton thinks about the process of acting! He mostly talks about how he wants to keep things in his private life private, which makes for a fun read. "Oh! He has boundaries? Neat. Let me keep reading him talk about how he's going to respect those boundaries." Magazines, you guys. It's crazy that people talk about print dying because as far as I can tell print is PERFECT. Anyway, interviews are pretty whatever in general because as far as I know my landlord does not accept half-funny anecdotes I read in interviews as rent payment, but Ashton Kutcher did say one thing I found pretty disturbing:
As for Kutcher, he says he's learned to use people's low expectations to his advantage. "People fill in the blanks really fast. They go, 'Oh my God, he's on a show and [plays] stupid, so he must be stupid.' I can't control that, nor do I try to, nor do I want to. There's something advantageous about having people underestimate your intellect, insomuch as a lot of things are revealed to you. They assume you don't know what you're talking about, then all of a sudden, you do. And the next thing you know, you have information you wouldn't normally have."
He's been some kind of idiot sleeper cell this whole time?! He plays dumb on television in order to collect information? ON WHOM? AND TO DO WHAT WITH? This is very unsettling. I do not like this at all. Is this what The Americans is about? This is probably what The Americans is about. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE TALKING TO ASHTON KUTCHER, EVERYBODY. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO AIRLIFT HIM TO A BLACK SITE BUT WE HAVE SERIOUS SUSPICIONS ABOUT HIS ACTIVITY IN THIS COUNTRY AND AS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY WE ASK EVERYONE TO STOP TALKING TO HIM EVEN IF, NO, ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK HE'S DUMB.

I imagine the biggest secret people keep from Ashton Kutcher is how much disdain they have for him.
Fact: anyone who is actually intelligent does not need to tell people how intelligent they are. Which Ashton Kutcher claims to do, but also he said all this stuff in this interview sooooo……
I mean to be fair I think he's saying, "People think I have the comprehension of a small child," and he is an adult man. So the advantageous information is probably like, the location of the keys to the liquor cabinet. We are all safe.
Does this mean someone finally told him where his car is?

Lately, the modest dream of running a single franchise location seems almost passé. Multiunit development appears to be taking over as the primary goal of savvy business owners. For these ambitious entrepreneurs, franchising is less about making a living than it is about increased growth, power and money.
"The number-one reason we went to a multiunit agreement is, obviously, in business you want to make more money," says Bob Pagani, a 48-year-old D'Angelo Sandwich Shops franchisee. Pagani and partner Bob Neil, 37, both experienced restaurant operators, hope to have three stores up and running within the next two years in Manchester, Glastonbury and South Windsor, Connecticut. Pagani and Neil aren't alone. A growing number of franchisees and franchisors see multiunit development as a great way to expand systems and increase profits quickly.
"We thought by buying in an area where three or four stores would be concentrated, we would have some benefit to the marketing of the stores," says Pagani. "There's one newspaper that covers the market in that area, and that applies to radio advertising as well. You can cover more with multiunit locations."
Cream of the Crop
Fueling the trend is the fact that more franchisors are seeing benefits in multiunit franchising. One benefit is the caliber of franchisee that generally seeks out a multiunit opportunity. "You certainly get people who are more financially qualified, who have more experience running large businesses or have experience with other multiunit concepts," says George Krotonsky, president of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Wild Noodles Franchise Co. LLC, a fast-casual noodle concept that began its franchising push last year by seeking only multiunit operators. "As far as we're concerned, the benefit is that we're working with people who are more experienced."
Many of these experienced operators turn to franchising as an alternative to life in the corporate world. "You have a lot of white-collar workers and middle managers who've been laid off," says Craig Slavin, president, CEO and founder of Franchise Architects, a Chicago-area consultancy that develops new franchises and fixes existing franchises. "These people come to the table with management skills, financial resources, business acumen and a lot of drive."
Slavin sees many ex-corporate professionals fitting the profile of the "achiever," the behavioral match for a multiunit operator. Where the single-unit franchisee, whom Slavin calls a "belonger," needs more guidance, the multiunit franchisee has far greater demands: "They want more sophisticated business systems, greater measurement tools and ways they can grow their businesses."
But even with all their abilities, these franchisees can't realistically find a way to be in all their locations at once and, in some cases, may be taking on a little too much. "When [I] see a person take on several centers, [my] big concern is to make sure they don't overextend themselves," says Robert Falconi, president of Precision Tune Auto Care Inc. Falconi saw one of Precision's franchisees open several shops, only to lose sight of running the business and go bankrupt. "That's where franchisors [need] the ability to pick good people."
And just because a franchisee may be a top performer in the system, that doesn't mean he or she can necessarily translate that success to multiple units. "Sometimes, the success of the shop becomes a function of the individual franchisee," says Falconi. "Without him there, the shop would not be as successful because of his [management] skills."
Before taking on multiple units, franchisees also need to realize that bigger isn't always better. "People often see multiunit franchising as this illusion in entrepreneurship that if you have more of something, it's better," says Scott Shane, professor of economics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "But for many businesses, owning multiple units of something means the average profit on each unit goes down dramatically."
Shane points to fast-food restaurants as an example where this can happen. While opening a second location in the same area would still be profitable if there is a high demand for your first outlet, the real issue is how much business the second store will service. If the second store can relieve the long lines from the first and doesn't decrease demand, it can mean a boom. But if you're only cannibalizing sales, that's a bust. And remember, with multiple units, franchisees are multiplying not only profits, but expenses as well. Each operation has its own store, equipment, management, employees and so on.

While neither the fastest nor smallest PDA, the HP Jornada 525 Pocket PC is perfect for educators looking for a high-quality, low-end PDA. Part of the Jornada Pocket PC series, the Jornada 525 offers a 133 MHz 32-bit Hitachi processor with 16 MB of RAM. It weighs 8 oz. and measures 5.2"x 3.1" x 0.7", which makes it just small enough to fit in your pocket, but heavy enough so you won't forget that it's there.
The Jornada 525 is housed in a metal case with rubberized sides, which started to come off the unit immediately after I received it. It lacks the hard-cover flip lid that comes standard with higher-end Jornada models, though it is available as an add-on accessory. Instead, this model comes with a leather pouch that includes a hidden, and hard to find, sleeve to hold the stylus. The Jornada 525 includes a 3.75" color display with 8-bit color, which is just right for an electronic organizer, but is inadequate for displaying high-quality Web pages or other digital images.
It comes with the Pocket PC versions of Microsoft Windows, Word, Excel, Outlook and Reader. The Jornada 525 includes Windows Media Player to listen to digital files such as MP3s, and features a built-in voice recorder, which is a great feature for any busy educator. The addition of four configurable quick-launch keys on the front of the PDA is another great feature. These quick-launch keys let you jump from one application to the next with the touch of a button.
The Jornada 525 also lets you choose how you want to input data: you can use the stylus and the touch-screen, the handwriting-recognition software, or attach a keyboard. It comes with a CompactFlash Type I card slot located conveniently at the top of the unit, but only offers a serial port with a serial sync cable. This model in the HP Jornada series d'es not have USB connection options, which may cause a problem for some - especially tech-savvy users who don't like to wait around while their PDA transfers files or synchronizes with their PC. Overall, the HP Jornada 525 is great for educators who need an easy-to-use, affordable PDA with all the basic features to help them survive in today's wireless world.

Phil Vettel searches Chicago for great prime rib
This began, as stories sometimes do, with a reader request. A gentleman asked for recommendations for prime rib. Not steaks, not beef in general, but specifically prime rib. The only condition he imposed was that he didn't want to wait until the weekend to enjoy it. And that complicated things a little.

EXCLUSIVE: Will Ferrell and Zach Galifiankis on 'The Campaign'
Updated On: Aug 10 2012 10:51:25 AM EDT
When long-term congressman Cam Brady, played by Will Ferrell, commits a major public no-no before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naive Marty Huggins, played by Zach Galifianakis, appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about.
I spoke with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifiankis about how funny The Campaign is and about how true it is when it comes politics and what a candidate will do to get elected.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - The U.S. Attorney's office says a South Texas mayor has pleaded guilty to federal bribery charges for his role in a pay-to-play contracting scheme.
Progreso Mayor Omar Leonel Vela, his younger brother and their father were all charged in August with taking bribes and kickbacks from companies that provided services to the city and its schools.
Prosecutors said that Vela admitted to participating in the scheme from 2004 to 2013. He forced a local architect, his firm, a construction company and the school board's attorney to pay bribes to get contracts with the school district and the border town. Vela and others extracted more than $300,000 in bribes.
Charges against Vela's brother, the former school board chairman and their father, the school district's maintenance and transportation supervisor, remain pending.

Raw food substitutions
Raw food substitution lists are integral to your raw food kitchen.
Here is a raw food substitution list that you may find comes in handy.
It's preferable to have everything on your raw food diet shopping list before you attempt to make a recipe. But of course sometimes substitutions are necessary because you might not have all the right raw food ingredients on hand.
I almost always substitute cashews for macadamia nuts (and vice versa) depending on what's on sale at my local health food store. For example, I've made raw alfredo sauce and raw mayonnaise with both cashews or macadamia nuts because both nuts are very creamy and oily. If interested in nut substitutions you may also find this podcast about nut substitutions useful.
Please let me know if you have any substitution tips.
Raw food substitution list
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar = 1 tablespoon honey (not vegan) = 1 tablespoon medjool dates (but not all recipes can use dates instead - depends on the recipe)
- 1 tablespoon hemp oil = 1 tablespoon cold pressed olive oil
- 1 vanilla bean = 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cocoa = 1 teaspoon carob powder
- 1 cup walnuts = 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup cashews = 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 tablespoon Nama Shoyu = 1 tablespoon Braggs Liquid = 1 tablespoon soy sauce (not raw)
