- Re: new stay at home mommy needs advice from the p...
Hi missbrittany,
Wondering how all those household chores are going I am giggling as I sit here and look around at what needs to be done and all my daughter wants to do is be held.
Hope you are adjusting to being supermom!
I been a SAHM since my daughter was born..shes 4...shes my only right now,but heres a few things i learned while being at home with her...
MEAL PLAN...if your worried about cooking meals while juggling kids...meal plan! after they are all in bed..sit down,get a piece of paper and bust out cook books or your computer and meal plan...i normally do 2 weeks at a time..sometimes if im feeling crazy or on a roll i do a whole MONTH at a time ...but doing 1 week at a time is good too! to make it easier,find meals that you can use the same ingrediants! you'll buy less(which means less errands with kids) and you can even use some of the left overs for other meals...sometimes on monday i will crockpot a whole chicken..then we'll have various chicken recipes for the rest of the week since i meal plan im able to see what we ate the week before so we dont repeat...nothing i hate more then eating the same thing in a month..lol..im the picky one in the fam lol
CLEANING by room by hour or day...dont try to keep the whole place clean every day..its not possible!..but it doesnt mean to not clean either lol...now that my daughter is in preK(only for 3 hours) it gives me alittle more time to throw a few loads of laundry in and clean up a few of our rooms (living/dining/kitchen,etc)
but before she went to preK she would play in her room while i would clean a room(living/dining/kitchen/bathroom..whatever needed it the most)..i told her she needed to play in her room for a hour or so while i cleaned...she got used to this rutine on a daily bases so it got easier to clean the house with her in it.....if things get real crazy and she wont stay in her room i bust out my old Iphone..which i loaded with apps and games for her..lol..its my "emergancy" back up..lol
either which..take it day by day and see what works for you and your new growing family...its all different for everyone

Involve them whenever possible! It will be frustrating as everything you do will take you 10x longer, and will take time, but once they get the hang of it, your chores will become fun for them! My 16 month old helps me clean every day.
Squirt bottles (with water in them) and unused sponges are great while you're dusting, or cleaning the counters.
Let them try out the vacuum, and push around the mop and broom. I used to vacuum with my newborn sleeping soundly in a baby backpack! Those were his best naps!
Tidy up the bathroom while they're busy in the tub.
Have them help with laundry. My lil guy thinks it's funny to heave the clothes out of the dryer. Little does he know it's a huge help because he can reach in there a lot easier than I can, being 8 months pregnant!!
Make a game out of picking up toys. They'd much rather think they're shooting hoops, or running a relay race than doing work! Pretend to put their stuff away while they're watching, but put it out of reach. When they give you a hard time about hiding all their toys on the fridge, or in the top cabinets have them "show you" where it all goes. It just takes a little encouragement from there for them to start doing it themselves so that Mom doesn't hide stuff!
If they can't help you cook, and won't stay out of the way, save tv or other attention grabbers for that time.
Pretty much the only thing I can't do with a toddler running around is load the dishwasher because he climbs in it and throws everything right back out! I do that while he's eating (strapped in his booster).
If you still have nap time in your house, take full advantage of it before the baby is born! You'll find chores that you just can't get done with the kids around, so do it then.
Most importantly...... cut yourself some slack!!!!!!!! With 3 children +1 on the way, your house will not always be spotless! It's not possible, and it's ok!
One more tip: Do not reward them for doing chores!! If you give them candy, or allowance it will teach them that they don't "have to" do anything without compensation. Dangerous consequences in the long run!! Usually making you happy, and a big pat on the back are enough for kids that young!!
I'm a stay-at-home mommy to a 4 year old and almost 2 year. I've never stressed much about getting stuff done because it really never does. More just comes up if you do manage to get one list done. To do housework, I try to get it to be a game with the kids. My 2 year old loves to "help" dry dishes and can put some away, and I try to let both the boys do as much as they can on their own. My husband and I team up at night and over the weekend to get tasks done quicker, and we put limits on the time spent. We do dishes for 30 minutes together each night. If something didn't get done, it can wait until tomorrow. During the day, I will also say that cleaning is my independent time activity. That is about 30 minutes twice a day to get more done. I try to remember that I am a stay-at-home mom, not a housekeeper. I stay home with my kids because we feel it is the best way for us to care for them right now. I don't stay home to clean up after other people. We all share the responsibility of it and help each other out when needed.
I have been a SAHM since my son was born three years ago, and now we also have a little girl on the way set to debut in February. This August my son started Pre-K (he has an IEP because of a speech delay, so he got to go to pre-k a year early in an effort to improve his speech before he actually "HAS" to be in school), and I have gone back to school myself, so I have a little less time than normal, but my system helps me keep things pretty tidy. Well, at least I don't tell people to bring their own hazmat suits! Lol. When Julian (my son) was home I would try to get him involved in the chores (ie. I would spray the "windex" on the glass door and hand him a wash cloth, or have a "race" to see who could clean up the most toys in a specified time) but what really saved me was a "cleaning calendar" I found on pintrest. I tweaked it to fit my house since the only dishwasher I have are the two attched to my wrist, and I moved my "chore of the day" from "Night Time" and instead do it during Julian's "nap time".
Why do you all feel the need to distinguish between "your" children and your "step" children? Its weird. Just say the ages, does it really matter which is which?

My heart rate from last night's 9th inning had barely gotten back to normal when today's game started up. I was panicking like it was 1912 last night. (Anyone mind if I just tack "like it's 1912" onto the end of every sentence in this blog post? No? Good. Because I'm doing it either way.) By some luck which has evaded the Giants for most of this season, that game actually went our way. Although MadBum lost what was about to be his first complete game – a shutout, no less – the bullpen was able to do the job eventually and San Francisco took Game 1 of the series.
Game 2, of course, was Gimmick Game of the Year. I have the utmost respect for the Giants promotions department, whom we have to thank for the spot-on-location-targeted Giants Belt Buckle giveaway, 'cause Californians love their belt buckles, as well as Orange and Black Fedora Giveaway (Which Unwittingly Teaches the Youth of San Francisco That It's Okay to Be a Hipster). Let's not even talk about the Orange Texting Gloves – aka, fingerless gloves - giveaway.
Point is, Turn Back the Century game was quite an, er, sight. We're talking no video scoreboard, uniforms that were supposedly retro but let's face it, just looked like the Yankees, and select stands with 12 cent peanuts. I was basically channeling my inner Grinch Who Stole Cute Gimmick Game.
Let's just say 1912 isn't really my era.
I know this was 1910 and it was England (and and it was filmed in Hollywood in 1964) but seriously, bad fashion? Check. Bad music? Check. The Giants were absolutely marvelous that year but I would guess that was the highlight of being alive in 1912.
I still vote for Meditation Day at the ballpark.
On to the actual game, Matt Cain was wonderful because, you know, he's Matt Cain. I was also completely astounded to see that his career record now is now a cool 75-75. Scratch everything I said. I would tolerate everything about 1912, not to mention sell my soul to the devil, if it meant a winning record for this guy. Still, his comment about the win-loss record is a sage one (from the San Francisco Chronicle): "I could care less what my record is as long as we're winning." And win they did. The final was 2-1 and it was a good, tight game. The Cubbies might not be the cake I previously envisioned, but with two games left to go in this atrocity we call a four game series, I am feeling rather good about it all.
Party like it's 1912, guys. Never mind the bad fashion and bad music.

One can effectively make it two steps: After choosing programs to transcode, quit the nomad app.
Yes, and that is what I currently do. The annoying thing is though that it starts downloading everything as soon as you start the app back up though. So like last night, I set up about 50 things to transcode because I am getting ready to leave on a week long trip. I don't know yet if I am going to take my wife's iPad, or just my iPhone, so I don't want it to transfer anything to any devices yet. I do want them to get transcoded though so once I figure out what device I am taking I can then just transfer them over.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Is break-in period required for new MDX?
monroviamom Posts: 3
jmpage2 Posts: 262Newer vehicles don't really require the type of break in that you used to see in vehicles 20-30 years ago.
The ECU (engine control unit) knows how many miles are on the car and adjusts the car for break in automatically by limiting fuel, shift points, etc.
You can actually do more damage by BABYING the car than by driving it normally. The reason is that engine parts won't fit together as well if the motor is never driven in normal conditions during the 1st thousand miles.
About the only thing most mechanical engineers would tell you is not to drive the vehicle at excessive speeds or at the same RPM for extended periods during the 1st thousand miles or so. -
brahda808 Posts: 25Thanks. I just got up to 800 miles. Just 200 more miles and I can use the cruise control again. I was using the cruise control when I first got the MDX to prevent myself from exceeding the speed limit. I didn't know I wasn't suppose to use it until I read it here. Hope I didn't do any harm to the engine.
upstatedoc Posts: 710Break-in for '07-'08 MDX:
For first 600 miles:
-avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration
-do not tow a trailer
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles
Do not change the oil until it tells you to
Also, right next to the break-in paragaph is the fuel recommendations:
-the engine is designed to run 91 oct.
-if 91 is unavailable, 87 may be used temporarily as it can cause "knocking" and will decrease performance, the long term use of regular grade gas can lead to engine damage :sick: -

Losses put Bears, Lovie Smith in must-win situation
BY ADAM L. JAHNS Twitter: @AdamJahns December 10, 2012 3:04PM
Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith looks on during the second half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, in Minneapolis. The Vikings won 21-14. (AP Photo/Andy King)
Article Extras
Updated: December 10, 2012 5:39PM
With the Bears losing four of their last five games and their 7-1 start now a distant memory, Lovie Smith's future came into question Monday at Halas Hall. And he said he knows it's tied to wins and losses.
"I think everyday I've been here, each day I think, all of us come to work [and] we're going to do the best job that we possibly can," Smith said a day after losing to the Minnesota Vikings 21-14 at the Metrodome. "All of our futures are tied. It's all based on wins and losses really, and I'm OK with that."
It was several weeks ago that there were talks about Smith being in line for another contract extension. The Bears had a six-game winning streak, the defense was putting points on the board with an endless amount of game-changing plays and the offense was evolving behind quarterback Jay Cutler and receiver Brandon Marshall.
Now, that seems like a very long time ago.
The takeaways are no longer coming in bunches, the injuries keep adding up on both sides of the ball and the offense follows every step forward with three steps backward.
"Our six-game winning streak earlier can't help us right now an awful lot," Smith said. "Us losing three of the last four or whatever it's been can't help us an awful lot. It's just concentrating on looking at the situation that's in front of us right now. That's what we're going to do."
Smith conceded that the NFC North is no longer in their control. The Green Bay Packers can clinch the division with a win at Soldier Field this week, while the Bears need to win and then receive some help. Similar to the Bears, the Packers fell behind the Detroit Lions 14-0 on Sunday, but they were able to rally for a 27-20 victory.
"The pressure we're feeling right now is on our performances," Smith said. "Improving, it's on us. We talked about someone else controlling the division, but what happens to us, it doesn't' really matter about really the teams ahead of us or the teams behind us right now.
"It's just what we do. …We have the Packers coming in and that's enough right there for all of our thoughts to just go on them."
Smith said the Bears control their own playoff fate, but that also will change if they lose to the Packers. They'll be forced to pay closer attention to what the Washington Redskins and others are doing.
"We put our backs against the wall," receiver Brandon Marshall said.
The Bears say they feel confident, but also that the frustrations are mounting.
"Ultimately, we have to come out and play better," safety Chris Conte said. "As a team, we have to go back to practice, work hard, be angry and come back and take it out on Green Bay."

Several recent articles should dispel any remaining notion that care provided under the so-called Affordable Care Act will in fact be affordable. Just the opposite is true.

When your doctor recommends a new drug or treatment for your diabetes, do you know if the doctor has received payment from the company that markets the drug or device? If the Obama administration has its way, you will. It is proposing a new law that will require drug companies to disclose payments made to doctors for research, consulting, speaking, travel, and entertainment-even something as minor as coffee and bagels delivered to a doctor's office for a meeting.

La Grange, Kentucky
Today, one almost can't turn on the TV or radio or, open a newspaper, magazine, or web page without hearing a mention of Mr. Fred Astaire in reference to dancing. He has left a lasting impact on the world and when people think of a dancing legend, Fred Astaire is the first to come to mind. We are proud of our great dance heritage which began in 1947 when the Master of dance himself, Mr. Fred Astaire, co-founded our company.
Mr. Fred Astaire, considered to be the greatest multitalented dancer of all time, wanted to establish a chain of studios under his name to make sure that his techniques would be preserved and passed onto the public. Mr. Astaire was instrumental in the choice of dance curriculum and instructional techniques. With the opening of the first Fred Astaire Studio on Park Avenue in New York City, Fred Astaire brought his immense talent out of the glamour of Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world.
"Some people seem to think that good dancers are born." Astaire once observed. "All the good dancers I've known have been taught or trained. To me, dancing has always been fun. I enjoy every minute of it. I am glad that I can now put my knowledge to use in bringing personal confidence and a feeling of achievement to so many people."
Today, numerous Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios located in cities throughout North America and internationally, are required to maintain the highest standards of excellence through our National Dance Board and Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios curriculum certification. Although Mr. Astaire is no longer with us in person, our studios have produced a wealth of amateur and professional dancers who are living embodiments of his style and grace.
Fred Astaire, born in 1899, began show business at the age of 5, performing on Broadway and in vaudeville with his sister, Adele. Then he headed to Hollywood where he began a successful partnership with Ginger Rogers for nine movies. By 1976, he had made 33 musical films with esteemed co-stars such as Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Ann Miller, Debbie Reynolds and Cyd Charisse. He also co-starred with the biggest actors of that time, including Bing Crosby, Red Skelton, and Gene Kelly.
Fred Astaire was not only a great dancer – changing the face of the American movie musical with his style and grace – but he was also an actor in many different dramatic and comedic roles in both movies and TV specials. He won multiple Emmys for his work in television. The Towering Inferno (1974) earned him an Oscar nomination. He received an honorary Academy Award in 1950 for his "unique artistry and his contributions to the technique of musical pictures."
Fred Astaire died in 1987 from pneumonia. With his passing, we lost a true dancing legend. His effortless lightness and grace may never be seen again. As Mikhail Baryshnikov observed at the time of his death, "No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business."
Although famous for his magical partnership with Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire also danced with the leading ladies of his time, including Cyd Charisse, Lucille Bremer, Joan Leslie, Leslie Caron, Vera Ellen, Barrie Chase, Judy Garland, Eleanor Powell and Rita Hayworth.
"For ballroom dancing, remember that your partners have their own distinctive styles also. Cultivate flexibility. Be able to adapt your style to that of your partner. In doing so, you are not surrendering your individuality, but blending it with that of your partner."
- Fred Astaire from The Fred Astaire Top Hat Dance Album, 1936
Fred Astaire starred in 31 musical films. He was famous for his collaboration with Ginger Rogers in the following films:
Fred Astaire introduced many classic songs by famous American composers, including:

She said after they had sex that evening, she put in a softcup immediately, and went to sleep, they were pregnant that month. Worth a shot. Ive read online that several people have tried that with success. I guess the logic is, it keeps the sperm closer to the cervix, so its easier to get them "in the right direction"? idk how you feel about using that kind of thing, but thought i'd share.
Simone: Maybe its just a matter of time for AF to show up for you. If you got tests for a bfp early on every other time, it could be just a waiting game for now, espcially if you've been getting negatives. Idk.. I havent gotten to that part of the book yet about what to expect your chart to look like after o.. lol sorry. Maybe you are just hoping for that bfp and reading into it too much? like I said, no idea what to think over here. lol. But logic tells me that if you got Bfp's early on before and getting bfn's now this late still, that maybe AF is coming soon. Have you had any other symptoms?
afm- begun the bcp yesterday evening, seems to have affected milk supply some so far already.. I'll keep watching and monitoring it. I could always stop them if it gets to be an issue for real.
My best friend came over yesterday with a dozen roses and hugh lauries CD (major crush on that man! mmm) and then DH came home with a dozen red roses and cheesecake , and cooked dinner. (he gave me my actual gifts on his bday lol) with my nose all crazy, I could barely taste it, but what i did taste , dinner was good.
Simone- Your chart looks good maybe you O'd later at the second dip instead of CD11. That would only put you at 10DPO. Hope it works out for you!
Brie- Happy Birthday! That was so nice of your friend! Hope that the BCP doesn't mess things up too much! I have thought about using those just never have.I suppose it could be worth a shot. I am going to try and see if that clomid is still available at te pharmacy this month for me.

Alix: being exhausted but can't fall asleep easily is also apart of pregnancy.. I remember having the same problems. It gets worse later on in pregnancy lol.. I used to wake up for hours, then fall back asleep. I think its your body's way of preparing you for the sleep loss that is to come in a few months so excited for your u/s!
Tara: I thought it was a strange concept too, but she swears by it that they got PG the first month they tried it.. for a few dollars, i guess it'd be worth a shot.
afm-waiting out AF. bcp seemed to really affect the milk, it left layla trying to suck so hard i felt like i did when she first started nursing. OUCH. So undecided on whether or not to continue them. Classes began last night too, i have very boring sounding teachers for astronomy and stats, but they are very laid back and kinda funny, so i think it will be a decent semester. 2 more to go after this!

After having much success with Amy's Organic Light Sodium Split Pea Soup and Amy's Medium Chili with Vegetables, I decided it was time to merge the two ideas and taste Amy's Organic Black Bean Vegetable Soup. Would it be as tasty as the rest of Amy's products? This soup is absolutely phenomenal, surpassing all of my expectations. The appearance is dark and thick with visible chunks of corn, potatoes, carrots and onions that provide an appealing crunch in the midst of the rich black bean seasoned puree. The vegetables, which also include celery and leeks, supply such a robust flavor. No one will ever know that you spend hours in the kitchen making this hearty soup.
Amy's signature ingredient list is packed full of organic, all natural products. Furthermore, this soup is vegan, low fat and gluten free. Each cup has 130 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat (2% of the RDA), no saturated fat, trans fat or cholesterol, 430 mg of sodium (18% of the RDA), 5 grams of fiber (20% of the RDA), 6 grams of sugar and 6 grams of protein. Furthermore, the wholesome ingredients supply 50% of the RDA for Vitamin A and 10% for Vitamin C.
Although this is not a low sodium soup, it is certainly not high-sodium either when compared with other soups on the market. The high fiber and low calorie count is very appealing to those on a diet. I paid $2.12 for a can of Amy's Organic Black Bean Vegetable Soup (2 servings) and I think it was one of the best two bucks I have ever spent.

Hopefully Sir Elton John isn't a betting man - or maybe he is, and that's why he appeared to have such a grouchy look on at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The Brit legend told Carson Daly on the red carpet before the show that while he did have stiff competition in the best original song in a motion picture category, fellow nominee Madonna didn't stand a "f*****g chance" of winning the award.
Madonna's song "Masterpiece" from "W.E." was nominated alongside Elton's work from "Gnomeo & Juliet," "Hello, Hello," and since Elton chuckled as he said that, we're going to guess it was a joke.
When Daly replied that those were "fighting words," Elton continued, "No, they're accurate words."
And yet, when the winners were called, the Material Girl landed the win.
Backstage, Madge reportedly seemed unfazed, adding that she's hopeful she and Elton will smooth over any rough spots in their relationship.
According to Us Weekly, the 53-year-old said, "I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years...He's brilliant and I adore him, so he'll win another award. I don't feel bad."

The Dodgers are the Giants rivals. This, we know. But they're vaguely pitiful rivals right about now and the attempted creation of a rivalry between the Giants and Rockies (think: humidor) has sort of lost steam. The Rockies are certainly opponents. Just not really rivals.
Enter the Padres! (Dramatic music.)
San Diego was good last year and dismally bad this year. Through it all, they have become the arch-nemesis of San Francisco. Partially, yes, because we can't seem to beat them but also because they are a well suited rival- somewhat similar (good pitching, no offense) and they are of course, in the League of the Sunny Beaches. National League West, that is.
Which is why yesterday's 5-3 loss was more painful to watch than any old game. Lincecum wasn't terrible but he wasn't great and he pulled the mental issues on the mound skeletons out of his closet (really, who pulls skeletons out of their own closet?) while Pablo hit like there was no tomorrow and the rest of the offense slept peacefully.
Speaking of sleeping… I've come to the (only logical) conclusion that sleep is the problem. Not enough sleep. Hear me out, or rather read this article from yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle. In summary, it's about a small study on Stanford athletes, showing that when they supplemented their recommended eight hours of sleep with an extra two, their sports performance got demonstrably better. So I think the Giants (yes, even Cody Ross and his million-watt smile) need a few more hours of shut-eye. So I've made a list of tips for sleeping better. I am totally a source on this. Me and Sleep are real tight.
- Buy Lullabies! Tanja Solnik's CD of Lullabies and Love Songs puts me to sleep every time. In a good way.
- Read Ball Four (If You've Already Read it, Read Again)! I loved that book. I really did. But every time I picked it up I fell asleep like clockwork.
- Read InStyle Magazine for that matter.
(Okay, enough InStyle.)
- Stretch! While exercise is a no-no for an hour or so before going to sleep, a few stretches can loosen your body and make you more comfortable and ready to sleep. I'm rather partial to lying upside down on my big blue ball, daydreaming about a reality show with Theo Epstein/Jon Daniels showdown. Am I completely imagining that rivalry?
- When all else fails… turn on late night sports radio. While the bashing of yourself, may stress you out, it's the ultimate cure for insomniacs. Think, Was the Cousins/Posey play clean? Again. And again. And again.
Sweet dreams.
I mean, wake up!
There's a game tonight! And then sweet dreams.
Diamond Girl
p.s. When John Axford of the Milwaukee Brewers posted this photo to his Twitter account about a fish in his hotel room, all I saw as the Alba orange exfoliating cream in the background. I was thrilled. I absolutely love Alba. Ballplayers do too!

Honda Accord Coupe Warning Lights
On the dash instrument panel of my 1993 Honda Accord wagon, where the gears are indicated, the D4 is flashing. What does this mean? I am also experiencing the common hot-engine-no-start problem which I have researched here and found a solution for (main relay)and will act on ASAP....are they related?

thegraduate Posts: 9,731
joaquin12345 Posts: 2My honda accord is doing the same thing, however my D4 light usually starts to flash after i drive it somewhere whether its 1 block or 10 miles. I checked my TCM, which is located under the passenger side carpet. That seemed to be ok, next i have gotten to the shift lock solenoids which are two tower looking blocks on the left side of the engine compartment above the dip stick to the transmission. I think its that but will post later.
plummy2 Posts: 6Sorry for this being such a stupid question but I really have no idea what the correct answer is...I have a 2005 Honda Accord V6 Coupe. When the out of gas warning light comes on how much gas is left in the tank? I've heard one gallon, 2 gallons as well as just less than a gallon. Does anyone know the correct answer??? Does it differ per vehicle? Thanks for the help!
plethysmo Posts: 42When the light comes on, fill the tank. If capacity is 17.1 (look in owners manual to verify), subtract the number of gallons you pumped to fill the tank. For my 2003, it takes about 13.6 gallons So, the light came on when there were 17.1-13.6 = 3.5 gallons left.
I notice the light usually comes on when I go up hill. So, if I go up a steep hill, it may come on with more left in the tank (maybe 3.9), than if I was driving on a flatter road. -

tran88 Posts: 1I have a accord coup V6 EX year 2000 and it has 113000 miles on it , recently ,I notice it has a red alarm light SRS show on the dash board all the time when I turn the car on and never goes off until I turn the ignition key to off . Does any one know WHY and How can I fix it ? BTW ,What isit SRS and what it for anyway . Thanks a bunch.

joey101 Posts: 1I had to remove the dashboard to replace a heater control cable. I thought I followed all instructions ie. remove - batt. cab. airbag fuse etc. but when I put all back together I have a SRS light when engine is running. Dealer wants $85.00 to diagnose. and $??? to fix. The year is a 97 with 160000 miles. Is there tool available at a reasonable price which will access the on board computer, or do I have to go the Honda?.
Thanks for your time. -

lynnjo Posts: 1Good afternoon! I own a 2003 Honda Accord. When I turn on the car the maintenance light flashes 10 times. I turned on and off the car to verify the number of times it flashes. I do not have the owner's manual handy I am over 200km away from home. I know it should be in the car. I have a long drive ahead of me tonight and I want to make sure I am not going to get stuck on the side of the highway. Can you please tell me what the maintenance light means by flashing 10 times? Thank you so much! This site is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jmillerjmiller Posts: 113Darn - I just realized how old those earlier messages are.
Well - if anyone is still around, it seems like this site has lots of info on those blinking D4 questions. As usual, exercise care and double check any information from the net.

This guidance covers the care and treatment of pregnant women with diabetes in the NHS in England and Wales. It also covers the care of their newborn babies. It is written for women who have diabetes or develop it in pregnancy, but it may also be useful for their families or for anyone with an interest in the condition.
November 2014
Units for reporting HbA1c have changed from % to mmol/mol since this guideline was published. The NICE Pathway on diabetes has been changed to reflect this. The guideline is being updated and the new version (to be published in 2015) will use mmol/mol.
July 2008
Since publication, the information on the therapeutic indications, contraindications and use in pregnancy and lactation of drugs used in diabetes management and retinal assessment (specifically insulins, the oral hypoglycaemic agents metformin and glibenclamide, and tropicamide) has been corrected to follow the relevant summaries of product characteristics (SPCs) (July 2008). Changes have been made to the NICE guideline, the full guideline and the quick reference guide.
'The recommendation on the use of the rapid-acting insulin analogues aspart and lispro in pregnant women with diabetes (this is recommendation 184.108.40.206 in the NICE guideline) is now as follows:
Healthcare professionals should be aware that data from clinical trials and other sources do not suggest that the rapid-acting insulin analogues (aspart and lispro) adversely affect the pregnancy or the health of the fetus or newborn baby.
The electronic versions of the guideline on this website all contain the correct information on drugs used in diabetes management and retinal assessment. Hard copies of the corrected quick reference guide are being mailed to the NHS.
The Understanding NICE guidance booklet does not give all details of the information healthcare professionals need to consider when prescribing insulin and other drugs used to manage diabetes or for retinal assessment in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Therefore it did not require any changes to reflect the reissued guideline on diabetes in pregnancy and has not been reissued.

Security Research programme's largest project prepares to launch its multi-mode transport security demonstration project at selected European cities Offentliggjort den: 13/05/2013
The Security Research (SR) programme's biggest project will hold its mid-term conference at the end of May 2013 to review its work so far on the critical challenge of protecting multi-mode transport hubs in urban settings against security threats. The project's technology demonstrations will soon take place at various cities across Europe, structured around different threat scenarios.
Known as SECUR-ED ("SECured URban transportation"), the project has a total budget of EUR 40 million of which the European Commission contribution was 63 percent (EUR 25 million), making it the biggest SR project funded so far. Its goal is to create modular security technology and training solutions to be used in mass transport systems in medium-to-large-sized cities across Europe.
Launched in April 2011, SECUR-ED will orchestrate "flagship" demonstrations of its system-of-system detection, alert and threat management capabilities in four cities in 2013, while carrying out risk-assessment activities in another nine before its 42-month lifetime draws to a close in September 2014.
SECUR-ED was among eight SR projects showcased during the Commission's workshop in Madrid at Spain's HOMSEC security trade show, which took place on 12-13 March. Indeed, Madrid is one of the project's four flagship demonstration sites, along with Paris, Milan and Berlin.
For example, SECUR-ED has worked with some 40 transport operators around Madrid to prepare for the event, according to Tomas Malero. The latter works for Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid (CRTM), which co-leads SECUR-ED's work packages focused on technology deployment and assessment.
Noting that SECUR-ED's definition of a common language across all its demo scenarios is just about finished, Malero said it was a complex challenge. "It entails the management of threats when they lead to multi-modal incidents. Thus the challenge: how to send messages from operators to emergency responders and how to translate those into language that the latter can understand?" he told the workshop. "It also meant taking into account the legal, cultural and societal aspects of all the stakeholders involved."
SECUR-ED's mid-term conference will take place from 9:30-16:00 in Geneva on 30 May and will bring together experts from the private sector and public transport operators from Europe, Asia, and North America to review the challenges of public transport security.
The event is free of charge. To attend, interested parties should register here by no later than 15 May.

For the second straight year the second-ranked Blue Raiders came out on top Thursday evening at the Raider Dome, punching their ticket for a return to Franklin with a 43-36 victory over a shorthanded, fifth-ranked Bears, who were minus five starters.
"We got a good effort to get where we wanted to be," declared first-year Cleveland head coach Jake Yost. "For the most part, our guys did what we expected them to do and we got what we were looking for (a state duals berth)."
Now 22-2 on the season, the Blue Raiders not only picked up a shot at a state championship but earned the top Region 3 plaque as well when top-ranked Soddy-Daisy chose not to wrestle a title match after a narrow escape of an upset bid by eighth-ranked Walker Valley in its semifinal pairing. The defending state champion Trojans pulled out pins in the final two matches to rally from a three-point deficit for a 33-24 win.
Cleveland and Soddy-Daisy will travel to Franklin for the TSSAA State Duals beginning next Friday and are the favorites heading into the tournament, which expects to have a repeat of last year's Raider-Trojan finals.
With Thursday night's crosstown rivalry beginning at 126 pounds, the battle opened with a pair of state-ranked wrestlers squaring off.
Top-ranked Austin Oliver scored the match's only points in the opening period with a takedown of No. 8 Dakota Ream and then was able to push his advantage to 4-0 in the second frame with a reversal.
Ream bounced back quickly in the third period with an escape and a takedown to cut the difference to a single point, but Oliver was able to break free and then took down the Briar Clift University (Iowa) signee for a 7-3 decision to put the Raiders on the scoreboard first.
The hosts sent another top-ranked grappler to the mat against one of the Bear fill-ins for the second battle and 132-pounder Hayden Hamilton came away with a 63-second pin.
Cleveland's Joel Simpkins needed just 49 ticks to stick his 138-pound opponent before Bradley got its first win at 145 when Steven Scott was able to put his opponent's shoulders to the mat in 2:34.
The Raiders then secured the victory with four straight wins and a Bear forfeit.
Fifth-ranked Josh Hamilton needed just 1:20 for a pin at 152, Sean Vonpotts stuck his 170-pound opponent just before the first buzzer and top-ranked Ethan West got the referee to slap the mat 84 seconds into the 182-pound contest.
At 160, top-ranked Aaron Lopez picked up a major decision with a 9-1 victory over Bradley's Robbie Clark, ranked fifth in the latest Tennessee Wrestling Federation poll.
After Cleveland reached the magic number (43), coach Yost forfeited out five of the final six matches in anticipation of facing Soddy or Walker Valley in a region final.
The lone contested match in the final half dozen saw second-ranked Toribio Navarro able to build up a 13-4 lead before pinning No. 6 Tristian Blansit at the 3:46 mark of the 106-pound battle.
"I put our 160-pounder (Clark) out against a defending state champ (Lopez) to give him some work and they returned the favor at 106," explained second-year Bradley head coach Ben Smith, whose team was missing five starters due to a skin infection.
"You hate to come into a region match shorthanded but we got to give some of our younger wrestlers some good experience," he added. "We saw some promise from some of the younger ones, and some fight out of the others."
126 — Austin Oliver (C) dec. Dakota Ream, 7-3; 132 — Haden Hamilton (C) pinned Hunter Parker, 1:03; 138 — Joel Simpkins (C) pinned Dennis Beyer, :49. 145 — Steven Scott (BC) pinned Eli Isenhower, 2:34; 152 — Josh Hamilton (C) pinned Jacob Staton, 1:20. 160 — Aaron Lopez (C) major dec. Robbie Clark, 9-1; 170 — Sean Vonpotts (C) pinned James Goins, 1:59; 182 — Ethan West (C) pinned Nathan Adams, 1:24; 195 — Oleg Stukanov (C) won by forfeit; 220 — Zach McFarland (BC) won by forfeit; 285 — Jerry Johnson (BC) won by forfeit; 106 — Toribio Navarro (BC) pinned Tristian Blansit, 3:46; 113 — Dyer Rose (BC) won by forfeit; 120 — Dakota Bromley (BC) won by forfeit.

By ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker
So why is this abomination still in business? Because for some, Greyhound racing is still big business.
Greyhounds begin their lives on breeding farms, where only a select few actually become racing dogs. Unwanted pups, those who assessed as unfit for racing, are killed or sometimes sent to laboratories, which use them in experiments. Those chosen for the sport spend most of their lives stacked in double-decker cages in warehouse-style kennels for 20 or more hours a day. Most of the areas Greyhounds are kept are not heated or air-conditioned, causing many to suffer during severe weather temperatures. Many also suffer from fleas, ticks and internal parasites.
While this is enough for most states to turn their back on the ugly practice, Greyhound racing still exists in seven states. More than half of all active American tracks, 12 of 21, are in Florida, where a ridiculous law requires gambling institutions to maintain and run dog racing facilities. You read that right: If you want to run a gaming institution in Florida, you must, by law, race dogs as well. More about that oddity in a moment, but first know that when these dogs are sent out to race, many are actually sent to their deaths.
Making use of a recent Florida law requiring that dog track deaths be reported, the Greyhound protection group GREY2K USA, with ASPCA help, put out a report last month revealing that 74 racing Greyhounds died at 10 different racetracks in Florida over the last seven months of last year. Put another way, from June to December, a Greyhound died from a racing-related injury every three days.
And only two months into 2014, there have already been an astounding 18 deaths at Florida Greyhound tracks. If this shocking rate of deaths continues, Florida tracks will have more than 100 Greyhound deaths by the end of the year.
Causes of Greyhound deaths included including fatal injuries suffered during or after races, and heat stroke. Fifty-one of the dead Greyhounds were under three years old; the two youngest dogs were both 17 months old. These majestic, perfectly healthy, gentle and loving animals were essentially run to death.
Of the 21 active dog tracks in the U.S., more than half (12) are in Florida. Florida law requires dog tracks to report all racing-related deaths, and an analysis of these death notifications from 2013 reveals that on average, a Greyhound died from racing-related injuries every three days in Florida last year.
With assistance from the ASPCA, Greyhound protection group GREY2K USA created a report, "The Final Lap," that summarizes last year's devastating deaths at Florida's tracks. The report was released today at a joint press conference held in Tallahassee, during which ASPCA Vice President of State Affairs Ann Church and several state legislators called for the passage of a bill to protect Greyhounds.

The life of a racing Greyhound is often short and painful. Every year, thousands of young and healthy Greyhounds are euthanized because they are no longer deemed worthy racers, but some of the lucky ones make it to Greyhound rescues. ASPCA staffer Lauren discusses adopting her Greyhound, Lewis, a racing survivor.
Finding Lewis
When my then-fiancé, Grant, and I began looking for a dog, we assumed that we would need to narrow our search to smaller breeds because of our NYC lifestyle. On a whim, I searched for large-breed dogs that are suitable for apartment living. Much to our surprise, Greyhounds were the most recommended! We fell in love with the breed.
A volunteer from an NYC Greyhound rescue visited our apartment with a spotted, male Greyhound who had recently retired from the industry. While this gentle giant had some difficulty climbing the stairs to our apartment, once inside he had no problem exploring every inch—all 400 square feet!
When Linda left that day, Grant and I looked at each other and without words knew we had found our dog. We called Linda the next day and arranged to pick him up. Being an avid Formula 1 fan, Grant decided to name our new dog Lewis after Lewis Hamilton, the race car driver. Considering his retired profession, I found it quite fitting.
Learning about Lewis
As we fell more in love with Lew, I started researching his past. Like all racing Greyhounds, Lewis has ear tattoos: his birthday and litter number on one side, his ID number on the other. I typed his ID number into a registry and learned he'd participated in 40 races and won eight. He raced until he was nearly three, which is a long career. I also learned he'd raced at Ebro Greyhound Park. He was pulled from Ebro in September 2010; in October 2010, an owner at the same track was arrested after 30 dogs died from starvation.
At the track, Lewis lived in a stacked cage, only coming out four times a day: twice to go to the bathroom and twice to train. When we met Lewis, he was fearful, really underweight and had flea dermatitis—but that's really good shape compared to how many Greyhounds come out of the industry. It took three weeks for his personality to come out. But when it did, it was hysterical—Greyhounds are hysterical—he was lying upside down, sneaking on the couch and sneaking onto our bed. It made me think this was likely the first time his personality was allowed to shine.
Suburban Life
Lewis made himself at home in our NYC apartment right away, but shortly before getting married, Grant and I moved to the house in the suburbs. Lew loves the new space, and he's got a dog bed on each floor. He loves car rides—any time we go on any errands he comes along and adores it. Lew lives for the tennis ball and will jump eight feet in the air for it. He spends weekends playing in our backyard and at the neighborhood park.
Lewis loves children, and that's why we're really excited for him to meet his new little (human) brother or sister in the next month! We think he'll be a great big brother. He just turned six on Earth Day. It's cheesy, but I always say his birthday makes sense, since he's my whole world.
Help the ASPCA stop Greyhound racing by making a gift today.
We already knew that Greyhounds at racetracks suffer immensely. But today, Greyhound advocate group GREY2K USA released a report that shows just how bad things are for dogs forced to race in Texas.
The report, produced with funding from the ASPCA, showed that at Texas racetracks:
• Greyhounds are forced to live in confined, stacked cages, with large Greyhounds being unable to stand fully erect in their cages.
• In 2012, six Greyhounds died at Gulf Greyhound Park from a form of canine influenza, often a recurring epidemic in cramped living situations.
• In 2011, a Texas Greyhound trainer failed to obtain veterinary care for an injured Greyhound until two days after the injury occurred.
• Greyhounds are fed 4-D meat from diseased animals to reduce costs.
The report also showed that1,507 greyhound injuries were reported at Texas racetracks from January 2008 through December 2011. Fifty-six of these injuries were fatal or required euthanasia, with the most commonly reported injury being broken legs. Other serious injuries reported included torn muscles, puncture wounds, a fractured skull and paralysis.
Frankly, we don't see why the Texas dog racing industry doesn't just throw in the towel—Lone Star State residents are way over dog racing. The report shows that gambling on dog racing and dog race attendance are way, way down.
Angry? Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to stand up for animals.
Shame on Skechers: The mega-shoe company recently filmed its new Super Bowl ad at an Arizona Greyhound track. The soon-to-be-released ad features a small French Bulldog wearing Skechers sneakers and competing against Greyhounds at Tucson Greyhound Park. The small dog wins.
Unfortunately, we know the same cannot be said for racing Greyhounds. Just last month, GREY2K USA, with funding from the ASPCA, released a report detailing the horrific conditions of race dogs in Florida. Dogs are confined in small cages for 20 hours or more a day, often wearing muzzles; they are bred excessively in the quest for good runners, with the "excess" puppies killed or otherwise discarded; and they regularly endure serious and fatal injuries. You can access a copy of the report here [PDF].
Take Action!
Animal lovers across the nation are demanding Skechers pull the ad or suffer a major boycott of the company. To date, nearly 50,000 advocates have already signed a petition voicing this demand. For more information and to add your name to the petition, please visit ASPCA partner organization GREY2K USA.

Beautiful rug! Delivered right to our garage in a timely manner.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I bought this rug in sage so I should have known it wouldn't look like the picture, which was a vibrant "spring" green." I also know that the colors may differ from the picture, but this was so completely different. It is very muted and on the yellow-brown side of sage. The pattern is very pretty but just doesn't show up. Two friends described it as boring but I think in a sage-colored room it would be understated but pretty. I have to send it back as the color just doesn't work with my furniture, which is more of a blue-sage.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Travel a few kilometres to the west of any coastal town or city and some would have it that you are in the Outback. It doesn't really come that easy, as the real Outback starts a hundred or so kilometres west of the Great Dividing Range. And, you'll also know when you're in the Outback. Fewer vehicles, friendlier people (although some will test you out with their dry sense of humour), colder beer, gidgea trees and Mitchell grass - and longer distances between drinks.
... moreProbably, once you have arrived at the Matilda Highway, you're well and truly in the Outback and your Akubra doesn't look out of place, the RM's almost make you look like a wealthy station owner, and you're even talking slower, dropping the 'g's', and walking with a pronounced bushman's gait.
Welcome to the Matilda Highway, a fully sealed 1812 kilometre stretch of road from the New South Wales border, all the way to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
This is one road which most definitely leads to adventure, and a different one each day.
The highway can be completed in as little of 24 hours, but that's one heck of a drive and you'll be missing out on the 'real Outback'... that is, the people, the attractions and natural sites.
Four days is a comfortable drive, depending on how long you stay in each town.
Just be wary of certain sections which are unfenced. Also avoid travelling around sunset or at night, as kangaroos and cattle also occasionally like to share your side of the road- sometimes both sides...
Between Cloncurry and Karumba there are some narrow stretches which means you and a road train cannot possibly be on the same strip of bitumen, at the same time. Best advice is to slow down, keeping the right hand side wheels on the bitumen and thereby demonstrating courtesy (and some wisdom) to oncoming heavy traffic.
Check the byways along the route, where plenty of side-trips add much to the overall Outback experience.

Goodbye New South Wales. Hello Queensland.
With a population of just four, don't expect a tumultuous reception.
The once thriving New South Wales border town of Barringun, was so alive that there were two police stations. One on the southern side of the border and the other, with Queensland constabulary, just a stone's throw away.
Tattersalls Hotel is one of the few buildings which still stands. Fuel is available in the township, along with refreshments and meals at the hotel.
The next major settlement is Cunnamulla, 119 kilometres to the north.
Just south of Cunnamulla check out the dwarf-like red sand dunes, adorned with pines. If the travels are after good winter rainfalls, then have the camera at the ready for a landscape ablaze with wildflowers.
Cunnamulla, a country town full of outback traditions provides enough good reasons to expand the itinerary, and linger a while.
This is a general service town, with all the facilities that a traveller requires.
Visit the Cunnamulla railway station, which is one of only two totally covered platforms in Queensland.
Historical sites range from the Bicentennial Museum and Old Masonic Lodge, to the Robber's Tree - the latter which was a short term sanctuary for Joseph Wells, who bungled an attempt to rob the town branch of the Queensland National Bank.
Side trips are recommended, taking in Eulo (home of the World Famous Lizard Races), the Mud Springs and the opal fields of Yowah.
When all is done, back to the Matilda Highway again and this time head for Wyandra, 97 kilometres to the north.
The highway follows the route of the railway and it's the railway system which actually decided where towns would be created.
Wyandra was once a major water stop for steam engines which hauled wool and sheep to the marketplace.
There are some great examples of early architecture and many of these have helped create a self-guide heritage trail.
Charleville is a town which needs some serious attention- at least a couple of days.
This place has a history featuring early cameleers, Cobb & Co and Qantas.
It is the centre for the largest School of Distance Education and home base for the work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Experience the Cosmos Centre, a small observatory which introduces you to the world beyond.
Head north to Augathella or a byway to Quilpie and its opal fields.
Augathella is 84 kilometres northbound. The pub in this town is the central social hang-out, a good place to hear of the exploits of the family of Kenniffs, infamous bushrangers.
On a more cultural note, local artists and artisans show off their latest creations at Boadicea Arts and Crafts.
Tambo is 119 kilometres north of Augathella and is home to the famous Tambo Teddies, created during the years of low wool prices.
A side trip recommended for four wheel drive enthusiasts is out to Salvator Rosa National Park. If time is short, settle for a stroll along the banks of the Barcoo, and do the Coolibah Walk.
After a refreshing drink you're ready to face the next 101 kilometres on to Blackall.
101 kilometres north of Tambo, and you arrive at the 'home of the original black stump'. Heed not what other State's may claim, as the locals from early identities such as Jackie Howe, through to latter day residents, steadfastly stick to the belief that the Thistle Street located stump is the genuine article.
If you don't know Jackie Howe, read on. It was in 1892 that Jackie (a gun shearer) set a world record by shearing 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes. He held that record for 58 years and even then it was done with machine shears.
You will again greet the Barcoo River, which flows close to the town. Keep count of how many times you cross the Barcoo, as local legend has it that after the tenth crossing, you're here to stay!
The Historic Blackall Woolscour was brought back to life by locals to become a major tourist attraction. Whilst it's open throughout the year, 'steam-up' is usually restricted to those months from May to September.
Blackall was to have the first artesian bore in the central west, only to be beaten to the punch by Barcaldine, just 109 kilometres further along the Matilda Highway.
Barcaldine is the town which makes for a great 'pub crawl', although obviously not if you're driving.
There are some six pubs, all on the same side of the street and each has a tremendous link with 19th century architecture.
The town has a few other surprises. The big one being the memorial to Australian workers. It's the Australian Worker's Heritage Centre. Set on five acres, this centre should keep you interested for a good couple of hours - or longer.
The journey continues just 80 kilometres up the highway, at Ilfracombe.
If you're travelling between late August through early September, and if there has been a good rainfall, the floral landscapes are spectacular.
In Ilfracombe, old tractors, disused farm equipment and things rural have been neatly laid out to rest, forming a virtual open-air street museum and known as the machinery mile.
Wander around the town and check out the Wellshot hotel, take a dip in the the artesian spa, the corrugated-iron Langenbaker Cottage; and the Post Office, the latter claiming to have Australia's first motorised mail service.
Longreach, is just 15 minutes along the Matilda Highway. Or alternatively consider including a side trip to Isisford on the way.
The town of Longreach really came into prominence in 1988 when the Queen opened the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame. It is world famous and warrants much more than just a casual glance. It is a total package of the Outback rolled into one brilliant display.
Adding life to this western Queensland town are a number of other first-class attractions, namely the Qantas Founders Museum (with its own decommissioned Boeing 747 Jet as its centrepiece), the School of Distance Education (one of the largest classrooms in the world), the Longreach Pastoral College, the Longreach Power House Museum (with a potpourri of parochialism) and the Longreach Arts and Cultural Centre (in the old Ambulance Station, where locals display their arts and crafts).
What's all this fuss about Qantas in an outback town? Put simply, this is where the international airline grew up. Conceived in Cloncurry, born in Winton and grew up in Longreach.
There are regular cruises on the Thomson River and tour operators offer a range of touring experiences,- some to 'dinky-di' working cattle and sheep properties.
Then, you're ready to take on another stretch of the Matilda Highway, 179 kilometres to Winton.
It's virtually impossible to arrive in Winton and not be humming, or singing 'Once a Jolly Swagman et al', as after all, it is our national song and it was here at the original North Gregory Hotel where Banjo Paterson first publicly performed Waltzing Matilda.
Not only is Banjo's song the best known piece of Australiana on the world stage but it also gave rise to the world's only centre dedicated to a song. The Waltzing Matilda Centre gives plenty of reasons to puff up the chest with a degree of pride.
In town, and in holiday season, the town's local open-air picture theatre (The Royal) screens latest releases.
This is the town where Qantas was born. The first general meeting of the airline was held at the Winton Club.
As with the rest of the Matilda Highway, the trip onto Cloncurry is sealed but in parts, unfenced. The landscape is undulating and open Downs country.
Some 80 kilometres north of Winton you will pass through Ayrshire Hills, an ancient weathered formation which looks very much like the mesas from a spaghetti western.
Kynuna is backed by isolated mesas to the west of the town.
Cloncurry is one of the most interesting outback towns and definitely deserves extended time for exploration.
Mining has played a key role in the development and growth of the town. A bloke called Ernest Henry is responsible for its very existence. In 1867 he discovered copper and through until this day, copper mining remains a major player in the growth of Cloncurry.
By the way, tours of the Ernest Henry mine are available.
Also a visit to John Flynn Place is a must for a history lesson on the early days of Royal Flying Doctors.
Whilst the Matilda Highway does not actually go through Mount Isa, it would be senseless being so close and not include a visit to the nation's inland city.
Heading from Cloncurry to Normanton drivers need to 'have their wits' about them. Whilst the road is sealed, it does have some narrow sections.
When approaching road trains or heavy vehicles, it's advisable to slow down and move off the bitumen, whilst leaving the right hand wheels on the road surface to retain traction and avoid bogging.
The vista changes from ghost gums midst Rocky country and you'll also come across 'mini skyscrapers' built by termites.
This is a good stretch of road, extending the 71 kilometres to Karumba, a town right on the Gulf of Carpentaria. Although it seems to take the longest of any previous part of the highway. That's all to do with the excitement of reaching the 'end of the road' and the Gulf of Carpentaria.
There's a choice of accommodation, from motels to camping grounds. Its very location also makes it an obvious place to go for a 'feed' of seafood including that for which it is most noted, prawns.
Visit one of the bars at night and you're sure to run into somebody from the prawn trawling fleet. These are not the times or the places that one gets cheeky or over smart, remembering that there are some who have just come on shore after lengthy periods at sea- looking for a bit of dust-up.
Around Karumba it's relatively flat country, but it's the birdlife which excites. Most times, Saurus cranes (similar to a brolga) are in abundance.
Congratulations for making the full length of the Matilda Highway.

Just How Much Food Is on That Plate? Understanding Portion Control
- Home
- Health Information
- Just How Much Food Is on That Plate?...
Serving Sizes Essential to Good Nutrition
Nutritional Needs Vary
Ways to Estimate Portion Sizes
- A deck of playing cards = one serving (three ounces) of meat, poultry, or fish (can also use the palm of a woman's hand or a computer mouse)
- A baseball = one serving (one cup) of pasta
- 4 stacked dice = one serving (1 1/2 ounces) of cheese
- A tennis ball = one serving (1/2 cup) of fresh fruit
When at home:
- Take time to eyeball the serving sizes of your favorite foods using some of the models listed above.
- Measure out single servings onto your plates and bowls, and remember what they look like. Figure out how many servings should make up your personal portion, depending on whether you need to lose, gain, or maintain weight.
- Avoid serving food family style. Serve up plates with appropriate portions in the kitchen, and do not go back for seconds.
- Never eat out of the bag or carton.
When in restaurants:
- Ask for half or smaller portions. Do not worry if it does not seem cost-effective; it is worth it.
- Eyeball your appropriate portion, set the rest aside, and ask for a doggie bag right away.
- If you order dessert, share it, or choose a healthier option like fruit.

Jim Cramer's Stay Mad For Life: Get Rich, Stay Rich (Audio Book)
Price: $29.95
Whether you're a recent college grad trying to figure out how to start investing, a young parent struggling to decide where and how to put away money, or someone well into middle age and worried about whether you've saved enough for retirement, Jim Cramer's Stay Mad for Life has the answers. Cramer covers all the essentials: how to save, where to invest, which pitfalls to avoid. He offers valuable advice on everything from mortgages to college tuition. He explains what professional money managers do right that amateur investors do wrong. Because there is always a bull market somewhere, Cramer tells readers where to find the bull markets of the future, and for those willing to do the homework, he chooses twenty stocks that could be long-term moneymakers.
For those who don't have the time or the temperament to invest in stocks, he identifies the mutual funds that are proven winners. He's investigated these funds by using his own twenty-five years' experience managing money for himself and dozens of America's wealthiest families. Throughout, in addition to his own enormously successful experience, Cramer draws on rigorous research to back up his advice.
