DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Sports Writer
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Jets' quarterback competition is still wide open -- with no clear-cut winner in sight.
Rex Ryan isn't sure whether it'll be Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith, and he's in no rush to decide. It's only minicamp, after all, and preseason games are still two months away.
And that's when the Jets might get a better idea of who'll be under center for them in Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
"We'll know when we know," quarterbacks coach David Lee said Wednesday, "but we don't know right now."
That about sums it all up when it comes to the quarterbacks -- and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just that neither Sanchez nor Smith have pulled away yet.
Lee said both players have taken turns looking good and then "real good" and then not too good at all.
"They've done it together and they haven't made it easy," said Lee, in his first season with New York. "They won't separate right now, but we've got time."
While some would expect Sanchez, going into his fifth season, to be clearly ahead of Smith, a second-round pick out of West Virginia, both players are still learning offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg's West Coast-style offense.
"We'll continue to look at both of them, split reps, and as soon as we know, 'Hey, he's the guy,' we'll let you know," Lee said. "But right now, we don't know."
Sanchez has worked extensively on holding onto the ball to limit turnovers, which have plagued him the last two seasons. He had 52 of them -- 26 in each year -- during that period and it has cost the Jets some games. So, Lee has focused on having Sanchez grasp the ball with both hands, leaving his left hand on the ball as he drops back.
"Yesterday was the first time he kept two hands on the ball," Lee said, "and that's after nine OTAs and a minicamp."
And, that's not all: The Jets run through a "gauntlet" drill during which they try to knock the football loose. Oh, and it's called "The Sanchez Drill."
"He hates it," Lee said.
Through it all, Sanchez still insists he is having his best offseason as a pro, and is feeling increasingly more comfortable working in Mornhinweg's system.
"I just love what we're doing," Sanchez said. "When you're excited about something like that, when you're coming in hanging on the guy's every word, knowing that he's had so much success, knowing that we have the pieces here to put ourselves in a position to have success like that, it's exciting. It's exciting stuff.
"So, it makes you work that much harder and find a way to just improve on the little things each and every day and keep rolling."
Sanchez has made it clear to his coaches that he's taking this competition seriously, and he fully intends to keep his starting job -- even if some media and fans believe his time in New York is nearly up.
"I think maybe there was some kind of notion that I'd be so upset they would draft a quarterback, that whole deal, that I'd just turn it in," Sanchez said. "That's crazy. It's crazy talk."
Smith, meanwhile, is a work-in-progress who has focused on his footwork and accuracy, among other things.
"It's been a brand-new world every day," Lee said of Smith. "Just struggling with the basic things, snap count at the line of scrimmage, the delivery at the line of scrimmage could be more consistent, little things are what's really killing him. But he's competed well and he's showing a really good arm and he gets better every day, and he's going to hear it all for the second time during training camp, so I expect him to get even better quicker."
Smith ran the first-team offense during the second practice of minicamp Wednesday, as the Jets have been rotating the quarterbacks throughout the offseason practices.
"I mean, I've improved, subtle improvements," Smith said. "But you won't know until you actually get some reps in live-game situations. But from the point I was when I got here to the point I am now, I have improved. But there's still a long ways to go.
Ryan indicated that the Jets could be open to having Smith run some read-option plays -- despite it not working with Tim Tebow last season -- if Sanchez wins the starting job.
"I know what everybody's thinking if we did that, ugh, didn't we try that last year?" Ryan said. "I think certainly that's a possibility. To probably make assumptions now probably isn't the thing to do. We'll let this thing pan out and we'll see."

Petros Solomon (born 1951; also known as Wed'Solomon, Son of Solomon) is an Eritrean politician. He was an Eritrean People's Liberation Front commander during the Eritrean War of Independence, and following independence he served in several positions in the Cabinet, including Minister of Defense and Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has been in prison, held incommunicado in an undisclosed location, since September 18, 2001 for opposing the rule of Eritrean president Isaias Afewerki. Amnesty International named him a prisoner of conscience.[1]
During the Eritrean War of Independence[edit]
He was a member of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF). From 1972 until the end of the Eritrean War of Independence in 1991, he served as Chief Strategist and the head of Military Intelligence (Brigade 72) of the EPLF. He also served as a member of the executive committee (Polit-Bureau) of EPLF from 1977 to 1994. During the War of Independence, he is credited with having single-handedly organized the EPLF's intelligence section. He is also credited with having been the commander who commanded over the Nakfa, Kerkebet, Zara front during the war in the early 1980s. He led the battle of Massawa in 1977;[2] He also, along with Ogbe Abraha, led the battle to liberate the town of Barentu in 1987.
After Eritrean Independence[edit]
In 1991, as he commanded the EPLF army that besieged Asmara, he took charge of the city when it fell for EPLF. In its June 16, 1991 publication, The New York Times stated that after the fall of Asmara, "Petros Solomon, was running the city until the arrival of Isaias Afewerki".[3] Following independence, Petros Solomon served in various cabinet positions. He served as the first Minister of Defense of Eritrea.[4] In mid-February 1997, he was moved from the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs to that of Minister of Marine Resources.[5]
During his time as a Minister of Marine Resources, "he independently conceived of a biosaline agriculture as a way of building the economy of the country and gave enthusiastic support to Manzanar Project".[6]
In September 2001 he was detained indefinitely along with other politicians who were known as the G-15, a group which opposes the rule of Eritrean president Isaias Afewerki.
Petros Solomon is known for his extraordinary skills of making friends. He is said to have "a quick wit and sparkling, playful sense of humor."[7] Given his personality, Dan Connell writes, "It was inevitable he would clash with Isaias Afewerki".[7]
After Petros's detention many of his former subordinates openly opposed his arrest and got arrested themselves as a result, including Kidane Wedi Qeshi who used to be Communications Operator for Petros Solomon, Mehari (last name unknown) who was Chauffeur for Petros Solomon, Tesfai "Gomorra" Gebreab who was a close friend of Petros Solomon. Many others, including many diplomats whom Petros recruited when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs, are abandoning the Eritrean Government.
The following is an excerpt from a poem written by one of his friends,[8]
But who's this quiet brown man whose eyes see through me,
Who makes me question all that I have done,
Who calls the airy poet back to history,
Who is this fine-boned Petros Solomon?:
He is married to Aster Yohannes. She too has been imprisoned since December 2003. They have four children, including twins.
"When confronted with criticism, it is not useful to think only in terms of digging up trenches and launching counter-offensives; criticism should be accepted with an open heart and an environment of tolerance; institutionalism is the best approach to decision-making... nobody or no institution has a monopoly on wisdom and foresight."
Petros Solomon, Tsigenai Newspaper, June 11, 2001 as translated by Awate.com[9]
"The tone we set here (at the UN General Assembly) collectively will have far greater influence in shaping the future of our planet than the isolated measures and endeavours we undertake in our individual countries."
Petros Solomon, At General Assembly Session 50 meeting 28, Date 11 October 1995[10]
"ናትና ኣይንገድፍን: ዘይናትና ኣይንትንክፍን ::(natna aingedfn....zeinatna aintnkfn)" (meaning: We do not let go what belongs to us; We do not touch others' belongings.) Asmara, December 30, 1995[11]
Quoted in: Reflections on the Hanish Affair, Tekie Fessehazion. This saying has been repeatedly used by many officials in the Government of Eritrea to refer to the subsequent conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia, 1998
"We never argue, my wife and I; because she can shoot straighter and faster than I can."[12]

Welcome to Kindergarten™ - Before starting school, children in the Welcome to Kindergarten program across Canada are given preparatory resources and experiences to position them for school success and lifelong learning. Parents/caregivers are invited to attend a workshop at their neighbourhood school where they receive early literacy resources as part of the Welcome to Kindergarten™ program and learning strategies for using the resources with their child.
Posted by the Welcome to Kindergarten TM team.
The year before and when a child starts school is an exciting and sometimes stressful time for children and their parents. We, at The Learning Partnership, developed the Welcome to Kindergarten TM Activity Calendar to help families get ready for the child's transition into formal schooling.
The activities for this month are:
Week 1
As you do everyday things like setting the table, encourage your child to name familiar things – e.g. "Let's put a fork and knife at each place." "Do you think we need a spoon?"
Week 2
Play with your child and, as you play, chat about what your child is doing – e.g. "Tell me what you are doing." " What does your teddy bear want for lunch?"
Week 3
Encourage the use of words that describe colour, shape, size and feel. Use these words yourself – e.g. " I'm going to wear my green sweater today." "Let's find your big truck."
Week 4
Play language games. Games help your child develop vocabulary, concentration and listening skills – e.g. Sing favourite nursery rhymes and children's songs. Make up words that rhyme with your child's name, a favourite object, a nonsense word.
To download a copy of this month's calendar visit
To receive information about the Welcome to Kindergarten program, please visit The Learning Partnership website or send an email to Karen Rallis at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Posted by JollyGreenGiant on 4/4 at 10:28 pmWhenever someone replies to a thread after you've posted in it, you get a notification.

Plus it encourages not reading the board and just checking to see if anyone responded to your troll.

We already had the email notifications (RIP). They kinda sucked. I'm thinking more like somewhere on/near the TD banner at the top of the screen alerting you to a notification. Just click to view a list of them. Like on Facebook or on your phone. Similar concept.

Not familiar with that, but I'm sure they would come up with something visually and functionally appealing. Chicken and Circus are pretty good at that from what I've seen around here.

How would this notification work? Email? A notifications tab next to my profile, posts, and bookmarks?
Why don't you ask Chicken about this idea in the TD conference room and see what he thinks?

Research shows employees who are unable to assimilate socially and clinically within their first 12 months seek employment elsewhere. Without effective mentoring, individuals report feeling overwhelmed and the fire of enthusiasm begins to flicker.
Mentoring is designed to promote the psychosocial and clinical development of RN Residency Program nurses. Mentors promote acceptance, confirmation, and role acquisition to the individual being mentored. The mentor becomes a coach, teacher and guide to ensure the resident's success.
How often is the RN Residency Program held?
Program curriculum cycles vary by specialty. They range from twice to four times a year. Eligible applicants are encouraged to apply early, as positions are limited.
How do I apply for the RN Residency Program?
To be eligible for the RN Residency Program, individuals must be licensed as an RN in the state of Georgia, meet on one or more eligibility criteria, and be hired into a Grady Nursing Department. Program staff and Human Resources can help to schedule appointments with hiring managers.
Is there a service commitment associated with the RN Residency Program?
Program participants are asked to commit to working at Grady for 24 months.

What is Eltroxin?
Levothyroxine is a replacement for a hormone normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Levothyroxine is given when the thyroid does not produce enough of this hormone on its own.
Levothyroxine treats hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). Levothyroxine is also used to treat or prevent goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), which can be caused by hormone imbalances, radiation treatment, surgery, or cancer.
Levothyroxine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Eltroxin (Levothyroxine)?
You may not be able to take this medication if you have certain medical conditions. Tell your doctor if you have an untreated or uncontrolled adrenal gland disorder, a thyroid disorder called thyrotoxicosis, or if you have any recent or current symptoms of a heart attack.
Levothyroxine should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems. Dangerous side effects or death can occur from the misuse of levothyroxine, especially if you are taking any other weight-loss medications or appetite suppressants.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Eltroxin (Levothyroxine)?
Levothyroxine should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems. Dangerous side effects or death can occur from the misuse of levothyroxine, especially if you are taking any other weight-loss medications or appetite suppressants.
Since thyroid hormone occurs naturally in the body, almost anyone can take levothyroxine. However, you may not be able to take this medication if you have certain medical conditions.
To make sure levothyroxine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- a thyroid disorder called thyrotoxicosis
- heart disease, coronary artery disease, or a history of blood clots
- diabetes (insulin or oral diabetes medication doses may need to be changed when you start taking levothyroxine)
- anemia (lack of red blood cells)
- osteoporosis, or low bone mineral density
- problems with your pituitary gland
- any food or drug allergies
- an untreated or uncontrolled adrenal gland disorder; or
- if you have recently had a heart attack, or are having any symptoms of a heart attack (chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the jaw or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling)
Tell your doctor if you have recently received radiation therapy with iodine (such as I-131).
FDA pregnancy category A. Levothyroxine is not expected to harm an unborn baby. If you become pregnant while taking levothyroxine, do not stop taking the medicine without your doctor's advice. Having low thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Your dose needs may be different during pregnancy.
Levothyroxine can pass into breast milk, but it is not expected to be harmful to a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Your dose needs may be different while you are nursing.

Eltroxin Dosage
In This Section:
How should I take Eltroxin (Levothyroxine)?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

It is very important to take Levoxyl with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. The Levoxyl tablet can dissolve very quickly and swell in the throat, possibly causing choking or gagging.
While using levothyroxine, you may need frequent medical tests.
Tell any doctor or dentist who treats you that you are using levothyroxine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Rubber Duckie Cocktails and Connect Four on Tremont
Photo credit: Larissa Burgess
When you think about it, the rubber duckie, that one-note yellow songbird of the childhood bathtub, was created for a singular purpose: to float. But nowhere is it written that said floating must occur primarily in one's tub. Highball Lounge–Tremont Street's new libation-fueled work decompression chamber that's part rustic wet spot, part leather-booth'd vintage leisure lounge atop the Nine Zero Hotel–knows this. So their bar czars did what any logical person would do when aiming to create a watering hole for cocktail connoisseurs and serious-spirit newbies alike. Namely, throw one in your drink.
"It's all about the experience," says lead bartender Shahir Misif. "Good vibes. Good cocktails."
The vibes come courtesy of an atmosphere that's somewhere between Fort Point's Drink, and Kenmore Square's Hawthorne (and a lot of vintage barware), while the cocktails–presented on a menu viewable though novelty ViewFinders–combine the old with the new.
Observe the standouts below.
Zazarac: The traditional Sazerac, one of America's oldest cocktails, is distinguished by its preparation in two Old Fashioned glasses, but Misif thinks the shuffle between the vessels wastes valuable drinking time. So to streamline the process, he spritzes a highball glass with an absinthe rinse before adding a spoonful of raw sugar and some Angostura bitters replacing the traditional Peychauds before adding Wild Turkey Rye, soda, ice cubes, and a cheery stir.
Rose Petal Fizz: Carralejo blanco tequila, house-made rose cordial, lemon, egg white, soda. Shaken with "a little magic" and garnished with a rosebud. The soda is nearly undetectable, just enough to create a thick head of foam and a creamy, sexy beverage.
Rubber Band Man: Cloves, anise, allspice, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg have gilded and spiced the silver rum inside a decanter (which Misif is quick to proudly display). The elixir is combined with Pierre Fernand Cognac, Cardamaro, and Benedictine and stirred. Misif places a berg of ice in a wide-mouthed antique glass and then lays a long toothpick with two marinated cherries across it. The cocktail is poured over the cherries, washing a bit of the marinade into the glass before orange peel garnish is sliced off and set aflame. It's a performance. And it's delicious.
#DuckieRosé: A house-blended concoction of aromatic pink wine and vermouths. Asked to elaborate on the recipe, Misif responds, "A lot of grape-based stuff." The flavor is smooth, sweet, and complex; a refreshing alternative for those folks whose go-to drink would be a fruity Riesling or buttery Chardonnay. But, the star of this beverage is the garnish: the aforementioned miniature rubber duckie.

Property Name:
Wilson-Miller Farm
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
Miller's Sawmill Road, Sharpsburg, Washington County
The Wilson-Miller Farm house is a two-story, two-part, eight-bay log building resting on fieldstone foundations which become nearly a full story in height at the north elevation. Facing south, the building is divided nearly in half by a vertical seam in the foundations and an interior log wall marking the jointure of the two sections of the house. The westernmost, and presumably older, part is sheathed with siding with a heavy bead at the bottom edge. The other section displays German siding. A recessed double porch included under the main roof span extends along the south elevation of the east section of the building. Many of the windows contain 2/2 pane sash which appear to be replacements. Beneath the double porch, windows retain 9/6 pane sash. The north foundation wall retains its 6/6 sash windows. Most windows at the two main stories are flanked with pairs of shutters with movable louvers. The original front entrance appears to be located in the first bay from the west end of the south elevation. Here a 6-pane door is hung beneath a 4-light transom. Other doors are located at both levels of the double porch and in the north elevation at the west end, as well as cellar doors in the north and east walls. The roof is sheathed with standing seam tin and extends beyond the end walls. There are three brick chimneys, each painted red. Two are located inside end walls and the third extends from the interior of the west section near its center. Northeast of the house is a one-story stone springhouse with a wood shingle roof. A frame bank barn typical of the 19th century also stands on the property. Several hundred feet south of the buildings are the ruins of a small dwelling.
This farm complex, consisting of a large two-part, two-story log house, barn, and other outbuildings, would appear to date from both the 18th and 19th centuries. The buildings provide an example of regional vernacular architecture in a setting unchanged from that which Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia saw on the retreat from the Battle of Antietam in 1862. The property is significant for its contribution to commerce and industry since the Miller family (owners in the late 19th and early 20th centuries), in addition to farming, operated a saw mill on the C&O Canal. The barn is said to have housed mules which pulled canal boats. Architecturally, the house displays several generations of construction. The remaining 18th century features in the west section are unusual in the area. The massive roof framing system is particularly worthy of note. Apparently the original house underwent substantial modernization, probably at the time the east wing was added. Possibly at that time the chimney in the west end wall was added. The house appears to have been renovated again in the late 19th or early 20th century.

The FAA has granted STC approval for a new Hartzell Propeller 3-blade Top Prop conversion kit for Cessna Skylane R182, FR182, TR182 and T182 (Lycoming O-540-J3C5D or O-540-L3C5D powered) models. These turbocharged and / or retractable Skylanes were last built in 1986 in both the USA and France. Hartzell says the new Top Prop kit improves performance, increasing the value and utility of these unique Skylane models.
Mike Trudeau, Top Prop's program manager, said, "For owners of these popular Skylane models, this propeller conversion will breathe new life into their aircraft by noticeably improving take-off, climb and cruise performance."
The 82-inch diameter, "blended" airfoil, Scimitar blades have successfully proven themselves in engineering flight tests. Compared to standard propeller models, the kit improves climb performance by 8.5%, and cruise performance by 2-4 knots or even more at altitude, and also enhances ramp appeal. In line with the latest FAA and international standards, the prop's noise emissions are at a globally-accepted level of 77.5 dB(a).
"As we grow our line of Top Prop products and continue to reach more customers, we further solidify our place as the world's most reliable producer of propeller conversions," Trudeau said. "But our biggest achievement continues to be our delivery of outstanding customer service to our clients around the world." Available directly from Hartzell or through Hartzell's Top Prop dealers, the 2012 list price for these kits, which include the new propeller, new polished, pointed aluminum spinner, and the STC, is $11,000. The new propeller carries the exclusive Hartzell Plus3 warranty, which delivers a full three years or 1,000 hours of coverage, and has a six-year/2400-hour TBO.

I discuss the Dutch maritime and colonial empire in South East Asia (1600 1950) and its literature. Focusing in particular on its absence from most postcolonial debate today, my aim here is to explore why and how this missing Dutch empire and its literature matter to postcolonial theory. I will consider a range of recent reactions to the 19th-century Dutch author Multatuli and his classic novel Max Havelaar or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company (1860). The Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer, for example, has expressed the view that it was this novel that put an end to colonialism . I will also try and assess the continuing relevance of Multatuli s Max Havelaar, considering in particular the issues of justice and humanity raised by this novel about the human cost of coffee production.

Nintendo updates the DS Lite with the DSi
Nintendo just unveiled its newest handheld gaming console in Japan: the Nintendo DSi. The third generation of its venerable DS handheld, following the original and the DS Lite, the DSi keeps about the same form factor while adding some important new features.
For one, both the screens are now 17% larger, clocking in at 3.25 inches apiece, and the entire package is a bit thinner. In addition, there's now a 0.3 megapixel camera attached (awesome?) as well as "audio enhancements" that will turn it into a portable music player. Gone is the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot, replaced with an SD card slot for loading it up with music. The DS Lite will continue to be available if you're into GBA games or don't really care about a camera that makes cellphone cameras look super-powerful. It drops in Japan on November 1st, arriving elsewhere sometime next year.

We flew with our three kids when our youngest was 8 weeks. He was pretty good but here are a few tips:
Have him suck on a bottle, breast or pacifier during take off and landing. That way it keeps his ear canals open so the cabin pressure change will not bother the baby. Kind of like when we chew gum.
Dont stress. My husband was so stressed out Finn was going to cry the whole flight and people would be pissed. However if I was super stressed holding the baby he would have been tense and fussy. The baby most likely wont cry the whole flight. Finn cried a bit on take off and no one even gave me the stink eye (that I noticed). IF they did? Oh well.
Pack a little more formula or breast milk than you think you will need (unless you nurse then you are good to go). Nothing worse than worrying midflight you may not have enough. OR spilling some (like I did).
Have fun! Baby will probably sleep the whole time. I just snuggled Finn and took a tiny nap myself.
Good luck!

Can you deliver vaginally with low amniotic fluid levels?
I am 36 weeks pregnant and have been on bed rest for the last week for low amniotic fluid. The lowest I have been was 4.5 and the last week I have stayed around 7. I have 2 friends who had the same problem and both had scheduled c-sections. I am still hoping for a vaginal delivery...has anyone out there delivered vaginally with low AFI? At this point my doc says we can still try, I'm just worried I will ultimately end up with c-section. Which a healthy baby is what I really want to end up with so however he comes as long as he's healthy I'm happy!!! Just preferring vaginal delivery:-) Can anyone calm my nerves? Thanks!

Yes you can. It's been a while, as my daughter is now 17, but i was diagnosed with low amniotic fluid since my 6 month of pregnancy with her and was put on bed rest. I had ultrasounds twice a week and stress test once a week and saw my doctor once a week. Let me tell you it was a very stressful time. In the end, I was three weeks from my due date and on one of my ultrasound visits, my amniotic fluid was really low so they induced my labor. Four hours later I had my baby daughter vaginally. It is possible, but it really depends on the doctor and your medical history. Everybody is different. I hope all turns out well and you are able to have her the way you want.posted 05/08/2011 by Babs944
You can definitely still have a vaginal delivery, especially if it's around a 7. They thought I was at 5 at 34 weeks but it was a mistake. I delivered vaginally at 39 weeks no problem, the level stayed varying between 7 and 11. I didn't even have to be induced. Most doctors will induce you if you go below a 4.That still gives you a chance at a vaginal delivery, but it does raise your chances of a c-section if your body isn't really ready to go into labor yet, which is more likely to happen the earlier you are. But an induction would still give you a chance, especially if you start it off with something to ripen your cervix and not pitocin right away. But definitely make sure you have multiple measurements, maybe even from two different doctors, before you decide to go for a c-section due to low fluid. Especially as you get close to term and the baby is bigger, he or she can block pockets of fluid and make it look like there's less. That's what happened to me the first measurement.

My water broke at 32weeks I was in the hospital for 4 days which my levels dropped day to day and gave birth vaginally to a beautiful healthy baby girl at 33 weeks. Being that she was almost two months premature she is now 3 months and as healthy as ever. So yes it is possible. Good luck.posted 05/06/2011 by clove73
I was diagnosed with low amniotic fluid at about 32 weeks. My baby was also IUGR. I was put on bed rest and had to have stress tests and ultrasounds done regularly to monitor things. At about 35 weeks, my BP was rising, and there was protein in my urine. My doc monitored this for a week again, then when it was the same at 36 wks, she decided that I should be induced. I was dilating too slowly at first, and was about to be prepped for a C-section (in the operating theatre) when I became fully dilated and gave birth vaginally. My daughter is now a healthy 3.5yr old (and loves to hear this story).posted 02/26/2012 by ACherisse

Last week Bengals owner Mike Brown sat down for a rare interview, obliging Enquirer reporter Mark Curnutte with a few short answers to some very basic questions: Why do the Bengals suck all the time? Where do you go from here? Do you want to try another new coach and see if that works?
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a Lenny Small around to shoot and blame for the things that went wrong.
On Saturday I was fixin' to play some Tecmo SuperBowl with my homies when I noticed the red light on the 'Tendo flashing on and off, which to a certain demographic of American males automatically means that any saved progress you had stored in that little gray box has surely scattered to the four winds.
It's been a long, strange journey for the 2011 Cincinnati Reds. The team's first 92 games have seen injuries, lengthy slumps, poor starting pitching and more close losses than a team with such a good bullpen should statistically endure. Still, with 70 regular-season games remaining, the Reds sit 2 games below .500 and just 4 out of the division lead, which puts the organization's executives in a tough spot.
Last week's win over Louisville has gone a long way toward
moving the Bearcats off the NCAA Tournament bubble and into the 10-seed area of
most projections. A win at South Florida last Sunday would have all-but-secured
the invitation, but the dudes lost by a point on the road, 46-45.
[UPDATE: The Bearcats whooped on Marquette, 72-61; here's the AP recap: Cincinnati halts No. 7 Marquette to pad resume.]
Tonight UC will welcome No. 7 Marquette to Fifth Third Arena under a bunch of weird circumstances: Marquette kicked the crap out of the Bearcats 95-78 on Feb. 11, and it's Senior Night for a couple of UC players who aren't used to being trampled so badly (at least not in recent years).
Here's what Yancy and Dion told The Enquirer's Bill Koch yesterday.
"You know that it's Senior Night and we feel it," Gates said, "but I think we'll feel it more when we get on the court tomorrow. Right now, our focus is so much on we need this win that we really don't have time to sit back and think, 'Oh, tomorrow's Senior Night.' "
"I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow," Dixon said. "We're just trying to focus on getting this win. That's the main thing."
After tonight, the Bearcats have one remaining regular-season game, at Villanova on Saturday. Assuming they can't handle the rematch with Marquette, they'll really need to beat Villanova to avoid entering the Big East tournament on a three-game losing streak. If they were to drop their first tournament game after that, they'd be sitting at 20-12 on Selection Sunday with a real ugly RPI.
One win out of UC's remaining regular-season schedule or in the Big East tournament should be enough to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. But a win over South Florida last Sunday probably would have assured it as well.
It is under such circumstances that two of Mick Cronin's most influential recruits take the court tonight for their final home game. Gates is a hometown player who chose UC over Ohio State, West Virginia and Xavier, among others, and has traveled a fairly up-and-down road during his four years. Gates surely wants to end his senior season on a high note after the Crosstown Shootout fiasco, which threatens to overshadow his years of hard work and importance to Mick Cronin's rebuilding effort at UC. Gates currently ranks 17th on UC's career scoring list and is the only Bearcat to ever lead his team in rebounding four straight seasons.
Dixon came to UC from a Chicago public school where he used to jam on a bunch of high schoolers. He's contributed every year, as his 1,183 career points show — good for 27th all-time at UC. Dixon's versatility has been a huge help to Cronin, who has used Dion as a shooting guard and point guard during various parts of his career. And Dion tries to thump it on people even though he's just a little too small to do it all the time. We still really appreciate that.
After everything this year's team — and these two seniors, specifically — has been through, tonight is surely going to be an energetic and emotional night down at The Shoe. Hopefully the 'Cats can hang with Marquette — securing an NCAA Tournament-securing win on Senior Night would be a beautiful way for the careers of these two players to end.
I can't go on writing "The Reds should sign (insert free agent's name here)" blogs much longer. Pitchers and catchers report soon enough, and who the Reds sign, if anyone, isn't likely to be a very big-time move.
Upon hearing that the Eagles signed Michael Vick, I thought a few different things. Then I tried to put a filter on those thoughts, since I'm a Giants fan and might just think things because I've never liked the Eagles and never will.
Despite this, Donovan McNabb is one of those Derek Jeter types: a solid leader both off and on the field who still seems to be as much of a student of the game as he was during his first few years in the league. Even though you may hate the team he plays for, it is done begrudgingly because you know that the McNabbs and Jeters are the best of the best.
Politicians love to lend their support to organizations that make people happy. Our country's leaders and those in our own community often take time out of their busy leader schedules to cut ribbons, shake hands, rename streets in honor of individuals and generally grub on the pride we have for those among us who succeed.
Let us recall Mayor Mallory's Opening Day wild pitch or his steadfast support of the Bengals during a meaningless late season game against the Steelers. It is good for a sports team to be recognized by the community, especially a college program that needs an increase in attendance and some private donor help in order to reach the level that will allow it to succeed regularly. But it's kind of awkward when the politicians come out and try to be a part of the celebration. Remember when City Council invited UC Coach Brian Kelly down to council chambers for some official recognition, only to make him wait around for 45 minutes and almost miss practice?
St. John's needs to get some new uniforms. Nobody's trying to act like UC's tri-colored Adidas triangle theme is super cool, but the Red Storm dudes look like they're wearing the high school JV jerseys handed down by the 1988 state championship team.
The Johnnies got handled like a JV team for most of Wednesday night's game, a 71-61 UC win that wasn't as close as a 10-point difference would suggest.
Since writing about Jeff Keppinger and the Reds is growing tiresome with so little new happening these days in Reds-fan land, I'm going to take a moment to lament another franchise that's seen a decade pass since its championship-caliber days.
The New York Knicks lost to Philly the other night, preventing New York from achieving its first four-game winning streak in more than three years.
Do we really care what happens in the American League outside of individual players' impact on our fantasy baseball teams? Probably not. But in the name of being thorough, the following is CityBeat's prediction of the entire softball-style AL. We even looked up a couple guys who play for the Royals, just to be fair.

Toilets clog for all sorts of reasons and many clogs are difficult to prevent. The vast majority of toilet backups are caused by too much waste and too much toilet paper being flushed at once. A simple plunge usually clears that kind of temporary clog easily enough. However, a significant number of clogs involve foreign objects that won't flush all the way through the line. I recently conducted an informal survey among several Roto-Rooter branches and learned that the most common item they are fishing out of toilet traps these days is the clip-on toilet bowl deodorizer. They're large enough that they won't pass through the 2-inch toilet trap but they will go out of sight, just out of view from the person hovering over the bowl.
One common reason foreign objects find their way into toilets is that too often people leave the lid open. And if you have one of those hutches or shelving/cabinet units over your toilet tank, things
tend to fall out and into open toilets. This includes items such as perfume bottles, deodorant, soap bars, medicine bottles, candles and whatever else people keep on the shelves. If you get into the
habit of keeping the toilet lid closed, you won't have a problem. But too often, people freak out when something lands in the toilet. Nobody wants to stick their hands into the bowl to retrieve the item so they'll take their chances and attempt to flush it out of sight! Better to take a deep breath, put on some old rubber dish gloves or latex gloves and grab the item or you will end up with a clogged toilet that needs repair.
Since the holiday gift-giving season is approaching, there is something else you need to know. Many of those new toys, especially the ones small enough to fit into a Christmas stocking, often take their first swims in the toilet. We wrote up a great article on seasonal plumbing tips for the winter that you can read to avoid common problems. We commonly find action figures, toy boats, submarines, army men, Hot Wheels cars and other toys in the toilet trap or the branch line. For young kids, there is something special about playing with toys in the bathtub…and yes, the toilet.
Can you sing the Roto-Rooter jingle? If you can't we bet your parents can. As far as we can tell, the Roto-Rooter jingle is the oldest continuously-used jingle in advertising history and it turned 60 years old this year. Out of all the products and services out there, who would have guessed that a plumbing and drain cleaning company's jingle would outlast all the others?
I recently read an article claiming the Oscar Mayer Weiner jingle (I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner…) was the oldest continuously used advertising jingle but, in fact, Roto-Rooter's jingle was already in use for eight years before it appeared on the scene. Another article claimed the Slinky jingle (Slinky, Slinky, oh what a wonderful toy…) held the crown. But Slinky's jingle made its debut in 1962, the same as Oscar Mayer's.
The Roto-Rooter jingle was written and performed for the first time in 1954 as a live commercial at WLS Radio in Chicago by Captain Stubby and The Buccaneers. It became successful because it
so perfectly described the Roto-Rooter service and was catchy to the point that it's almost unforgettable. Once you hear, it stays in your brain forever! Roto-Rooter never stopped using the jingle in its radio and TV commercials. And you'll find the jingle in almost every video the company has on its robust YouTube channel, Roto-Rooter TV. Make sure you stop by our YouTube channel to see a fun video about our famous jingle and the Roto-Rooter jingle that preceded it.One thing worth noting is that only the last couple of lines of the jingle made it into most of the commercials. In fact, the full length jingle was a commercial in and of itself back when it made its debut on WLS. So for those of you who don't know every word, here it is the 1954 jingle lyrics in their entirety:
Roto-Rooter is quick first aid for clogs, sewers and stopped up drains. The wonderful Roto-Rooter machine twists and turns and shaves lines clean. Call Roto-Rooter, that's the name, and away go troubles down the drain…Roto-Rooter!
Years later, an additional verse was added to the jingle. Here are the lyrics to the new verse:
When Roto-Rooter comes, that's when your troubles go. When Roto-Rooter's here, that's when your troubles disappear. Call Roto-Rooter, that's the name and away go troubles down the drain…Roto-Rooter!
The day after Thanksgiving is the single busiest of the year for Roto-Rooter's residential plumbers. Big holiday meal preparation and cleanup can lead to a lot of unwanted waste in the kitchen drain and garbage disposal. Also, holiday house guests who require additional laundry loads, showers and toilet flushes put a strain on household plumbing.
"Often, the case is that a house already has partially clogged drains that go unnoticed, until holiday guests arrive and overwhelm the system," said Paul Abrams, spokesman for Roto-Rooter. Hectic houses full of people and frantic hosts quickly and easily lead to plumbing problems
throughout the holiday season. "Even more problematic is that virtually every traditional Thanksgiving dish is a drain clogging culprit," Abrams continued.
Incoming calls to Roto-Rooter for service will jump 50% above the average Friday. The four-day Thanksgiving weekend averages a 21% increase over any other Thursday through Sunday period during the year. Roto-Rooter is prepared with additional staff to address the expected increase in calls and jobs, saving customers from long waits and outrageous holiday service charges.
Thanksgiving hosts can avoid a visit from their plumber over the holiday weekend by following these clog-preventing tips:

Tree roots are to blame for millions of sewer clogs each year but too often homeowners swear revenge against the offending trees then follow through by cutting them down. But that's an extreme reaction and not necessary! Your sewer pipes can coexist with your trees – and we're not just saying that because we're in the plumbing and sewer cleaning business and our name is Roto-Rooter. We love trees, and not just because they help us make money! They're beautiful and they're good for the environment.
Modern trenchless sewer replacement methods allow us replace underground sewer pipes without digging up your yard. And the sleek new pipeline that we use to replace your old broken sewer pipe is more or less permanently impervious to root infiltration. It's immune, untouchable and you'll never again need to worry about a sewer backup caused by tree roots the way you did with old clay, Orangeburg, concrete or iron pipes. The manufacturers of some of the modern plastic pipe estimate that the new plastic pipelines will probably last 100 years! Pipe bursting and pipe relining is something we've been doing at Roto-Rooter for more than a decade so we're well versed on its merits. The cost for trenchless sewer replacement is a bit higher than a traditional sewer excavation job but it's still cheaper than having a few trees removed and you won't need a year to get your lawn back in order. For the most part, there won't be much physical evidence that our crew was ever there.
But chances are you don't need to replace your sewer at all. If the pipe is still in fair condition, you can manage tree root infiltration by calling Roto-Rooter when you start to notice more than one drain in the house draining slowly. We'll mechanically clean the line and remove all roots and obstructions. Having more than one slow drain in the house is an early warning that a sewer backup is coming. Better yet, if you know your home experiences a sewer backup about once a year, call us, we'll put you on an annual schedule and remind you when it's time for your annual sewer cleaning. We can do this at whichever intervals meet your needs. The cleanings are affordable and you won't have to sacrifice the beautiful shade trees in your yard that are probing your sewer line for water and nutrients.
Have you ever had a frozen water pipe in your home? Sure, it's a nuisance when you turn on the tap and discover your plumbing isn't working. But that's not the end of the ordeal. A hard freeze turns water inside the pipe into ice, which expands and creates pressure that often cracks or splits the water pipe, no matter if it's made of copper, plastic or cast iron. The real trouble starts when the pipe begins to thaw and pressurized water begins spewing out of the crack and into a wall cavity! If your home has a basement, it could soon turn into an indoor swimming pool if the leak goes unnoticed for an extended period. If you want to avoid these scenarios, winterize your plumbing now, before the temperatures drop into the sub-zero range.
Insulation is the key. If you have exposed pipes in a crawl space, beneath pier and beam or trailer homes or even in attics and unheated garages, you need to insulate the pipes with foam insulation sleeves. Be generous with the insulation. There is no "less is more" when it comes to avoiding frozen pipes. Look at the sinks, toilets and bathtubs in your home. Do the supply lines for these fixtures run along outside walls? If so, those water pipes could be vulnerable if our winter is particularly cold. Take steps now, while you still have some reasonably warm weather on your side. For helpful winterizing tips, watch Roto-Rooter's winterizing video.
And the number one thing you need to do now if you live in the Northeast or Midwest is disconnect garden hoses from outside faucets. Then cover the faucets with Styrofoam insulation kits. If you live in the south, do this before the end of November! When water inside a garden hose freezes, it expands ice and pressure right into the faucet itself and into the water pipe that supplies it. That's the most common place where water pipes freeze. And if you have a leaking outside faucet, fix it before winter arrives. If you can't do it yourself, call a plumber. If you don't those drips will surely freeze and create a bigger problem this winter. A plumber can also inspect your plumbing system and show you where your may have vulnerabilities to extreme cold.
Water Damage: The Need for Speed!
Water damage can be caused by many things: sewer line and toilet backups, sump pump and water heater failures, broken pipes, washing machine and dishwasher leaks, ice maker problems, flooding due to heavy rain, ground water seeping into the basement and natural disasters.
But it doesn't take a lot of water to cause tremendous damage. Just an inch or two can destroy carpets and dry wall, warp wood floors, damage building components, and trash home furnishings and personal items, including photo albums and family heirlooms.
Even after the water seems to disappear, excess moisture can hide in your floor coverings, foundation, wood structures and walls—causing major damage to your property and creating the perfect environment for mold and other fungi growth.
But if you catch it in time, you can ward off a lot of the damage and save money and headaches down the road. It's important that water is quickly removed and the property dried, ventilated and disinfected to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew and other microorganisms that are harmful.
The key is having the phone number for a Washington, D.C. plumbing and water restoration team you trust ahead of time, so you can take care of the problem quickly. Here are a few things to look for before choosing a water restoration company:
Most importantly, know who to call before something happens. Researching a local plumber who's licensed and insured ahead of time… and having their phone number on hand… can save you time and a lot of headaches if you should ever experience a water leak.

Pumpkin Carving Fun Often Leads to Clogged Drains
By Paul Abrams
It's a family event in late October when many American households carve a pumpkin into a Halloween jack-o-lantern. The kids delight in the whole process, especially when mom and dad let junior scoop the pumpkin pulp out of the pumpkin. But what happens next is the scary part. Often, those slimy pumpkin guts are pushed down the sink drain then the disposal is turned on to chop it into tiny bits before the water washes it away. Except, it doesn't quite work that way because pumpkin pulp should NEVER go down the drain!
Any plumber will tell you that pumpkin guts will do a number on your garbage disposal and your kitchen drain. Most disposals will choke on the sticky stuff and what does get through will stick to the walls of the pipes then dry like fiberglass resin mixed with glue! Trust us when we tell you this exercise is definitely more trick than treat for a homeowner. Roto-Rooter can cut the gunk out but it's not quick, easy or cheap.
A better idea is to carve your pumpkin on a thick bed of newspaper. And when the carving is done, toss the whole mess into your compost pile. If you don't compost, throw it in the trash can. Oh, and in case you think you can flush those pumpkin guts down the toilet, you can…but you'll be sorry! We've seen it done and the results were not pretty. Since we've just about seen it all, we urge you to heed our warning and listen to the experts. Check out our pumpkin carving tips video and enjoy a clog-free Halloween.
'Tis the Season for Plumbing Emergencies
It's about that time of year again… when family and friends come together for holiday meals, celebrations and parties. But crowded homes and busy kitchens can often put a strain on your plumbing system. In fact, holidays are often our busiest times of the year. Whether it's unclogging a pipe filled with potato peelings, or fixing a flooded bathroom, our Tampa plumbers definitely have their work cut out for them!
So, to keep the season merry and bright, be sure to follow a few basic plumbing guidelines:

Do Your Appliances Have High "Blood" Pressure?
As a part of staying healthy, all of us need to check our blood pressure from time to time. But could your appliances be suffering from high "blood" pressure, as well? The lifeline of many of your appliances is water… and if the water pressure at your home goes unchecked, it could be a St. Paul plumbing emergency waiting to happen. Too much pressure can erode or wear away many materials and cause water heaters to leak, water pipes to bang, faucets to drip, pipes to leak, as well as excessive dishwasher and clothes washer noise and breakdown.
The good news is that high water pressure is easily fixed and the cost to do it is pretty reasonable (especially compared to the damage you could face if it's not corrected!) So, what can you do?
If the water pressure in your home is above 60 pounds per square inch, it could be harmful to your plumbing system. You can contact your local water authority to find out what the water pressure is on your street. If it exceeds 60 pounds, consider installing a pressure reducing valve (PRV) that will limit the water pressure within your home. You can pick them up at most hardware stores for around $80. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, call a professional plumber to help.
Aside from warding off potential plumbing disasters, installing a PRV can also save you big bucks. Here's how:

Choosing the Right Water Heater for You
From tankless to traditional, solar to hybrid—there are more choices than ever when it comes to water heaters! So how do you decide which one is best for you? Here's the scoop on all your water heater options from the ROTO-ROOTER Seattle plumbing experts:
Conventional Water Heater
These are the water heaters we all know and love. They store water in a tank, heat it up, and are available in a variety of gallon capacities, depending on your family size and personal needs. The drawbacks? They're big, taking up a lot of space, and they consume energy whether water is needed or not, making them less efficient than some other options. A conventional electric or gas water heater should last about 11-15 years and they cost about $300.
Tankless Water Heater (a.k.a. Instant or On-Demand Hot Water)
A tankless water heater is generally considered more energy efficient because it only heats water as it is needed. When the tap is turned on, the heater goes to work and supplies continuous hot water. It's smaller and can hang on a wall—but it can require larger gas lines and special venting—all of which can be expensive. However, a tankless water heater has a life expectancy of 15-20 years and may reduce water heating bills by as much as 30 percent. They're pricey, though, costing $700-$1500.
Solar Water Heater Systems
These eco-friendly units use the sun's energy to generate hot water for your home. There are two types. The first, a passive solar water heating system, is typically the less expensive option, but they're usually not as efficient. They are, however, more reliable and may last longer. Active solar water heating systems utilize pumps and controls to circulate water into the home. Most solar water heating systems require a well-insulated storage tank and a backup system for cloudy days and high water demand.
Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater
A hybrid water heater combines conventional tank storage with a heat pump that extracts heat from the air and uses it to help heat the water. It uses existing water and electrical connections, and can reduce water heating costs by almost 60 percent, making them a formidable competitor to tankless units.
