Sir Jon's laser fire ripped through the air between him and the Patroponese vehicles. ost of the bolts smashed harmlessly into the ground, but due to the sheer number of shots fired, several of them did indeed hit the enemies.
The weapon carriers, noticing that their target was now a good further south than they had anticipated ceased their missile fire and made a bee-line for the road to give persuit to the elusive Knight. The laser carriers revolved their turrets and sent a barrage of shots in the general direction of Sir Jon's last known position.
<Alpha 1, 3 & 4: Armor Damaged>
<Alpha 3 & 4: Reloading Missile Pods 18/18>
<Alpha 5: Reloading Missile Pod 12/18>
Gemini's missiles detonated in mid-air as Archer's gatling fire ripped into them.
Both Blykes now seemed to disengage from their foes and made their way south toards the approaching reinforcements together.
Cossack stumbled backwards as Archer's laser burned through one of his hind legs.
One of his blades came flying back towards Archer in a wild swing.
Noting that Brynhildr was seemingly retreating from him (and pouring laser fire into him as well), he let her go and continued his own backward motion as quickly as his now three-legged Mecha would allow. Without even waiting for a missile lock, the Prince of Patroponne launced both of his Devastator missiles, aming towards Archer.
<Cossack: Armor Damaged, Leg Destroyed (rear right), Devastator Missiles 0/2>
((Ladies, you might want to get out of there! Fast!))
Caballus' laser fusilade tore into the Patroponnese missiles just as they were fired from their pods. A single good hit per salvo was enough to set off a chain reaction that made all of them blow up mere meters from their origin. On one of the carriers, Sir Henriscored a lucky hit that set off on of the missiles while it was still in the pod. With a deafenig Boom the top of the vehicle desintegrated donkey its entire payload of missiles detonated at once.
At the same time, the shots from Gemini 1's guns smashed into Caballus, tearing thriough his armor plating.
<Beta 3 & 4: Missiles Destroyed 12/18>
<Beta 5: Missile Pod Obliterated, Armor Damaged, Crew Wounded>
<Caballus: Armor Damaged>
Three groups of missiles sped towards Mercy as the Vayne Mecha made its way into the relative protection of the trees. Guided by their missile lock, they followed Mercy's maneuvers, with the consequence that some of them collided with tree trunks.
But the majority still made it to their intended destination and detonated against Mercy's armor.
<Gamma 3-5: Missile Pod 12/18>
<Mercy: Armor Degraded 0/1, Armor Damaged, Arm Damaged (left)>

Davion struggled to keep his hands on the control sticks as missiles slammed home all across his left side. Warning lights blanketed the HUD, fading in size into the leftmost side of the screen. Holding his breath, he tensed his whole body as Mercy lurched. Despite his best efforts, the massive mecha sidestepped into a tree and went spinning off it again, tumbling out of the forest and landing on it's damaged left arm. The stick in his left hand went stiff, jammed.
"Fine. You want me, here you go!" he cried out, exhaling all his breath and almost spitting into the screen. He dropped the left stick and hammered the keypad at his left as his vision centered on the group of vehicles that had just brought him down. Twin reticules swung out from the main reticule, hovering over the ground between the furthest of the vehicles. As he squeezed the trigger on his right stick fully, main reticule aimed at the center vehicle, he tapped the "Fire" key on the keypad twice. Then, he grinned.
From each shoulder, Devastator missiles launched and arced along the ground. They were massive beasts, coated in radar-absorbing paint and smoothed to reflect laser targeting like a mirror. A cylindrical body, larger at it's rear than it's front, ended in four thick fins. These four fins guarded the motive drive of the Devastator: a rocket powerful enough to propel a whole Mecha.
Davion had a front row seat, watching the fire glow through the trails of smoke that left Mercy's torso. After a half a second, his hands returned to the sticks and he pulled the right trigger back even harder. An audible click confirmed his orders, then dozens of glowing bolts speared the darkness between the plumes of smoke. Gatling lasers not being known to punch through armor, and he having no idea what sort of vehicle it was, he held down the trigger.
Warning alarms assaulted his ears for what must have been the millionth time, and a heat indicator glowed from his console below the view screen. It passed blue, shot through yellow, into the red, and past that. If the color black could glow, the heat indicator would have been brilliantly bright.
He released the trigger moments before raw plasma would have to be ejected through the exhaust ports on Mercy. The Mecha began a procedure to shut itself down to cool more quickly, which Davion quickly overrode with a few keystrokes on each side.

Alana stepped into the oncoming blow using the cross guard of Archer's sword and a twist of the Mecha's hips in time with its wrists to raise the weapons above the pair while placing her own blade inside the prince's guard. There was no subtlety left after that point, it became an issue of whether her own blade, assisted by gravity, the natural tension of the pose and a slight drop of Archer's weight through the knees, could descend more quickly than the Prince's second blade could sweep across and tear her from the world. She was willing to gamble it would; the dice rolled across the battlefield to the sound of grinding metal and the thunderous chorus of giant feet, the prince danced back poorly on three legs clearly none too keen on the odds.
"You might have made it," Alana muttered sullenly. Archer's computer screamed in answer as Cossack unleashed its Devastators.
The world dissolved into a blur of smoke, the staccato flicker of Archer's gatling laser trying to draw a bead on the hurtling missiles. Dark pain and chunks of torn up earth separated her from the tumbling sky as she threw her mecha to one side.

((fever posting is dumb
Kara couldn't believe when Cossack fired the devastators at point blank range at Archer but there was no way she could fire at them and not potentially hit Archer as well, so hopefully without the lock Archer would get out of the way in time.
As Cossack was partially turned to deal with Archer with the apparent assumption that Brynhildr was on the retreat, Kara suddenly pushed Brynhildr into Cossack in a rugby like tackle move. She leveled the push so that the majority of the force and weight would be against the now disabled leg ((aka she's pushing from the front, but angling the weight etc towards the weaker side)). She hooked her gattling laser arm low near the legs of Cossack and started to fire again and then activated her jump jets in a short burst to add force to the "push" and hopefully buckle Cossacks legs.
Brynhildr opened a coded channel to Archer, "Archer, stop with the heroics and get a move on, i can't keep this coward at bay all day. We need to withdraw and regroup at Vayne!"

Jon made a beeline for another nearby ridge, diverting power from his lasers to keep his jets hot. He vaulted up into the air again, clearing another ridge and hopefully not getting shot in the process.
((I can edit this next part if I actually do get shot in there, Ace, but if not the above just isn't enough action for me.))
As soon as he dropped down into cover again, Jon cut his ECM and fed even more power to his comm and jets. "Mercy, what is your status? I'm getting clear, I'm going to try to make it back to the escort at top speed. Sitrep would be good, if you have the time." Switching his transmission channel briefly, Jon continued, "Any Kleas forces in range, please respond; we have hostiles in Myrandrian territory, and I've taken their appearance personally. Please update me on your status."

A couple more laser burst came flying in Sir Jon's direction after he had turned off his ECM, but at the range he had put between himself and the aggressors by that time, they didn't have much of achance of actually hitting him.
The far greater problem was that as soon as the vehicles reached the road again, they would be able to move considerably faster than Hologram, thus eating up the Knight's haed start.
After Sir Jon had set off his second call for aid towards his home, the comm answered him with nothing but static noise. Indeed, that was a bit too much static to just be "no connection". It slowly dawned on the Count of Kleas that he was being Jammed! He hadn't noticed and problems in his communications with Sir Davion, so apparently the jamming was limited to those frequencies used for long-range communication. Someone wanted to make sure that whatver happened in Nûrande would stay in Nûrande for the time being...
((You hadn't noticed this jamming before, because neither Jon nor Davion had actually waited for a reply or even a comfirmed connection when you set off your earlier calls to your respective home forces.))
The two laser carriers of Beta squadron tried their best to target the approaching Caballus, but with the Knight's erratic zig-zagging all they could do was to fire blindly into his general direction and hope for the best.
In the meantime the Blyke twins circled around the centauroid Mecha at a distance on their way to close up with their southern group of warmachines. They too fired their lasers at Sir Henry, putting him into a crossfire of deadly, but fairly inaccurate laser fire.
The carriers of Gamma squadron tried to evade the approaching missiles, but they were nowhere near fast enough. The twim missiles slammed into the ground between the vehicles and explosive force slammed into their sides, pushing them way out of formation. Gamma 3 and 5 were pushed inwards toward Gamma 4 and it was all they could do to avoid a collision with their own ally.
But this boxed in Gamma 4, so it had no room to evade Davion's laser fire. The concentrated barrage of energy slowly ate through the machines front armor and continued into the crew comparment.
As the smoke and dust from the twin explosions cleared, the Patroponese vehicles emerged in a rather pitiful state. Their armor bashed in, and their hulls noticably sagging to one side, sometimes as far as dragging on the ground.
<Gamma 1, 2, 3, 5: Armor Damaged, Propusion Damaged, Reactor Damaged, Crew Wounded>
<Gamma 4: Armor Damaged, Controls Damaged, Driver Killed>
Both Lady Alana and Lady Kára were already moving away from the assumed point of impact when the Prince's pair of Devastators detonated behind them. The force of the massive explosion slammed inot them and accelerated their evasive movement.
Archer was thrown down onto its side and slid several yards across the ground before coming to a rest. As Alana shook off the feeling of dizziness, she was almost overrwhelmed by the pain in her right arm (which was currently stuck between her body and the cockpit's dashboard).
Brynhildr was caught be the blast from behind and slaamed full force into Cossack. Prince Garran had raised up his arms in a final attempt of defense, but this proved to be a supremely futile gesture. As the two Mecha collided, Cossack's left arm was smashed in between their torsoes. The tip of his right blade caught on some point of Brynhildr's armor and was forced into the Myrandrian's hull, before finally snapping under the massive shear forces.
The two Mecha tumbled over each other and finally came to rest lying on the ground next to each other.

As the vehicles collected themselves, battered and broken, Davion began to shift his weight and pull hard on the controls of Mercy. The arm beneath him strained, grinded, whirred, and then went silent as it failed to move.
"Absolutely fabulous.."
Shifting his weight again, he flipped his foot into a harness of the leftmost foot pedal and drew it upward. Mercy drew the leg against the ground up, underneath it's torso. Davion shifty both sticks forward slightly, and brought the other pedal around in a wider arc. Mercy's other foot planted firmly flat on the ground.
If it were my body, this would work. Mercy isn't built that way, though... If it works, I'll be on my feet. If not, I can push off with my other arm when it flips.
Grasping the two control sticks tightly, he re-threaded his fingers between the contours of the grips. Exhaling softly, he twisted his left foot and applied pressure to the leg that was underneath him. With luck, his knee would catch and support weight, and then it would be a very simple matter to just stand up.
While nearly all of his concentration was focused on his task of standing, he kept casting a wary eye into the line of vehicles he had just battered. One of them was definitely done for, blue smoke rolling from it's nose section. Very likely, he'd burned the pilot alive. He would pay his penance for that later, though perhaps earlier if the rest of the crews were still in position to make his life hell.
"Please Mercy, we must not rest yet. I know the pain you feel, but our friends need us now more than ever. We must clear a path to safety, and shepherd them along that path. Now, more than ever,
I need you.
((Leaving the success up to you Lope, though I have bad knees so maybe I'm not a good person to judge how knee support works? I was thinking this would take an entire "round" as it were, to get back to a stand after dropping with such a lack of grace. Edited in some exposition from Davion after deciding this would be my full post for the turn.))

Caught in the middle of a storm of laserfire, Sir Henry has very little option but to carry on jinking. He considers breaking away from his course towards the laser carrier and following a truly random path, but decides that that would defy the point somewhat.
Not for the first time, he wishes that he'd mounted something heavier than a Gatling laser. Nor is it feasible right now to send fire in the Blykes' direction. He's just going to have to hold course and hope.

The world swam back to her through waves of rust smelling pain; light entered half cracked eyelids like the wicked grin of a clown hiding a gun. Something was wrong, the realisation hit her and she started to laugh; the sky was twisted away, paved in ranks of scarlet fire and ash. Her trembling thumb found the coms and flicked them on.
"I think they got me," she dissolved into laughter again for a moment, "Sorry about the cliché. Ah boy. Hang on a moment."
Alana tried to sit up and spent the rest of her breath screaming. Thoughts started to slot themselves together again following the lines of pain and reason the sound had torn through her skull.
"Damn. I think I've crushed my arm real bad. Can't seem to stop shaking."
The Main Systems Display was flashing red in the lower right side of her vision. Archer seemed to be in about the same shape as its pilot, except mecha didn't feel pain.
"Lucky git," Alana brushed the mecha's controls affectionately with her uninjured hand sending a flurry of commands into the computer. Archer dragged itself to its knees using its sword, ECM went active once again. The moving cockpit seemed to urge her organs towards her mouth in a long multicoloured string of Alana branded baloons. Distantly she longed for a warehouse full of painkillers and a bottle of whiskey to make it all go away. The mecha's right arm hung limply at its side, devoid of any input from its pilot. Alana directed Archer over to the prostrate form of the prince's mecha and raised her sword over his cockpit.
"Hold him still a moment," she ground out through teeth that had started to chatter, "might not get another chance."

((Oh, gee, I hadn't noticed a technological condition I didn't know existed. What a catch-22...))
Jon muttered as the jamming became more and more apparent. Rotten little bastards didn't seem to want anyone else to come and play. He punched his ECM back up with a rueful curse and moved off the road into the brush again, hoping his mecha's relatively small size and agility would move him faster than his ugly pals.
As he moved off into the brush, Jon kept his eyes and sensors out for rock or ridge formations near the road. Something with a good blind corner, with a nicely-sized pile of earth in the bend of it, where he could ambush the oncoming weapons platforms from hiding across the road...

As Archer aproached the Patropenese Mecha, the stricken machine liftd its remaining blade into a defensive position across its body. At the same time, its now weaponless right arm and all of its legs thrashed about wildly and jerkily in an attempt to regain a vertical position.
Next to it, Brynhildr did the same somewhat more successfully, but not any more elegant than the Prince.
As Archer closed in, Lady Alane heard Lady Kára's voice over her comm, buzzing heavily with static: "Alana! We don't have time for this. Look, Davion's got the carriers in disarray. We should get out of here before they manage to regroup..."
"Everybody! Come on! Let's get moving!"
"Count Kleas, what is your status? We are now starting our retreat east towards Vayne territory. Repeat, we're retraiting to Vayne, leaving multiple unfriendlies at the crossroads!"

Archer and Cossack each had one blade a piece, but Archer had regained its feet - simply putting her mecha's body weight behind the swing should smash clean through the Prince's defence. All strength in fighting came from how you leveraged your body structure against the ground. It could be over in one swift powerful strike. He knew it and she knew it - his pathetically frantic twitching gave testament to the fact. Reality swirled around and she imagined him as a maggot squirming on a giant hook.
Kara's voice shattered the image,
"Alana! We don't have time for this. Look, Davion's got the carriers in disarray. We should get out of here before they manage to regroup..."
The carriers were dispersed; the Prince's escort seemed to have fled. Now was the time to strike, not run away. They could take out one of the enemy's nobility in a single glorious strike or at the very least take him captive. What could light vehicles do against a mecha squadron? She stopped for a moment, caught between her desire to kill the Prince and her desire to flee. Alana raised her good arm in the cockpit and pointed it towards the prince; her Mecha's sword arm copied the movement, the blade of a vengeful god dividing life from death.
She opened a channel to Garran's mecha,
"I lend you a life then, 'Prince.' When the time comes, I will find you on the field."
Archer put up its sword and turned away, as far as a walking hunk of metal could characterise emotion it seemed somehow disappointed, a hunting dog cheated of blood at the final moment.
"Alright we're done here. Let's go." Alana set the computer to head towards Vayne and dialled up the speed half closing her eyes against the weariness that suddenly seemed to crash in on her, pain was for a moment gloriously far away behind a wall of fatigue.

draws ever closer to the laser carrier, the incoming fire becomes more accurate. The raised shield takes two glancing hits, digging craters in the metal and marring the coat of arms. Then he is upon the light vehicle and his blade swings, separating the laser carrier from its lasers. The four-legged mecha rears up on its hind legs and kicks the people carrier into the remaining laser carrier.
This done, he turns and runs. Taking out the two working missile carriers would be possible, but not before the Blykes were upon him - and two-on-one odds might be acceptable when the two are light-armoured hover chariots, but when they're heavily armed and armoured mecha, the situation is significantly worse.
Instead of heading directly towards Vayne, which would take him through the third carrier group, he gallops southeast, intending to arc around towards Vayne. With a good deal less incoming laserfire, he finally has concentration to spare on talking.
"Sir Henry here. Sorry about the delay, but I've been having too much fun to talk. Now heading towards Vayne cross-country style. Be advised: we may have Blyke-shaped company shortly after that."
Turning to the systems status board, he checks the ECM jammer. It wouldn't do to run away from the missile carriers purely to get half a dozen explosives up the rear. Fortunately, the light still glows green.

Davion wrenched Mercy back to it's feet, twisting his own body in ways that felt unnatural. Once the massive machine was back on it's legs, he heaved a sigh of relief. On his side, prone, he was useless. At least on his legs he could brawl.
He surveyed the line of vehicles, casting a critical eye on the survivors. For the most part, the line of defenses seemed completely decimated. The center vehicle was melted through, the vehicles to either side were in such a bad way that none of them looked to be much use.
...We are now starting our retreat east towards Vayne...
he heard through his comm unit, now aided by a health dose of static. He'd probably damaged the comm system, too, with that stunt.
"We can't risk leaving our friends exposed, Mercy. We have to finish the job."
He thrust both arms forward, and began pedaling his feet again. Mercy gave more than a bit of an extra groan, perhaps in compliance and perhaps in complaint. Either way, there was a mission to accomplish and he would be sure that neither of them failed in the mission.
The best looking vehicle, as denoted by whatever scanning equipment Mercy had available (or left), was his target. Like a football punter in another world, he slammed his left foot down in front of the vehicle and wheeled his right leg quickly forward. His foot traveled into, and through, the cockpit before stretching high upward. Balancing carefully, he used his excess momentum to turn and bring his leg back down.
Checking the status of his gatling laser, he deemed it a bit too risky to fire. Using it now was more likely to melt the end off it than it was to do any more damage to his enemies. The rest of the vehicles looked pretty much destroyed anyway. Standing among them, he could get off a quick shot if he had to take one more out.
(Edit) That just left the center vehicle without a piloting crew. Their weapons would still undoubtedly be live, and he could probably use that to his advantage. With a bit of a grin, he used Mercy's arm to reach down and grasp the vehicle. Gripping it's hull tightly in it's good hand, it rolled the chassis onto it's side. With it's left foot (since the right was gripping the hull) it started to kick the bottom of the craft.
Flipping his Comm unit to broadcast externally, he focused the radio (and if applicable, IR/Laser/Bluetooth/Whatever) transmission directly at the vehicle.
[DIRECT COMM] "This is the Myrandrian Knight, Lord Davion Vayne. Come out of your vehicle and surrender, or I would expect your compartment to get MUCH more cramped when I shove my foot through it. You have precisely ten seconds to comply."
He let the chassis roll back onto it's bottom, but moved Mercy's hand onto the weapon mounted on top. He wasn't going to let them fire anything he didn't want to, regardless. With their hatch now on level ground, ten seconds would be plenty of time for a mad scramble for safety. He may give them fifteen, but he wasn't an exceptionally patient man to begin with. Still grasping the vehicle's turret firmly, he used his free hand to toggle his communications suite back to Myrandria, he prayed it had sufficient stability to reach his compatriots.(/edit)
[COMM] "This is Davion, I have the vehicles under control here. Suggest you make best speed east. I will hold position until all of you are through."

Leading gun-rights advocate wants teachers armed with weapons

SPRINGFIELD — One of Illinois' leading gun-rights advocates urged state lawmakers Monday to pass legislation that would give school districts authority to arm school principals, teachers and even custodial staff with concealed weapons.
"The problem we have is a gun-free zone. We have a gun-free zone around a school. Every crazy person knows that. And so, the gun-free zone is like a magnet for the lunatics. He or she knows there won't be any resistance there," said Richard Pearson, executive of the Illinois State Rifle Association.
Pearson told the Chicago Sun-Times that lawmakers should pass a school-safety bill next spring, including the concealed carry authority for educators, as a response to last Friday's Connecticut school shootings.
"There are a couple of issues. The first issue, of course, is had there been a security guard there who was armed, this wouldn't have happened," he said, referring to the Newtown shootings.
"Had there been a teacher who was armed, this wouldn't have happened.
"There's really only one person who's in a position to stop a crime, and that's the intended victims. They have the ability to resist with as much force as the person trying to attack them," he said.
Pearson said he doesn't favor a blanket statewide standard for arming school employees, who he believes first would have to meet training requirements to carry weapons at school; but each school should have an armed security guard at a minimum while giving other educators authority to be armed, as well.
"It should be determined by the school system who'll they allow. Certainly not all teachers are capable of it but many are," Pearson said.

I'm one of those annoying people who has a word quota for every day and once I've reached it, I pretty much can't squeeze out any more (written) words. Books do tend to steal all your words, so this is going to have to be brief. Blame the endless streetlight descriptions. I have a serious and slightly problematic affinity for long streetlight descriptions. They pop up in pretty much everything I've ever written.
But I digress…
Now that the division's all clinched and all the regulars are resting up in favor of lineups that feature Justin Christian and John Bowker – oh, wait, are we out of the John Bowker era now? – there are just a few questions left to answer, before the playoffs start. One of them is the Melky question. The MCM (Melky Cabrera mess, in case you've forgotten) persists. Sergio Romo went on the radio yesterday and basically said he doesn't see any reason for Melky not to be on the playoff roster, once he becomes eligible, and then today Bochy made some typically cryptic Bochy comments that seemed to suggest precisely the opposite. Decoded, he said nowaynohow Melky will on the playoff roster.
Way to throw the peanut gallery a bone, guys! By the peanut gallery I mean bloggers like yours truly. And by a bone I mean something to talk about other than the funny lineups.
As I see it, Melky absolutely won't make the roster. And I think that's as it should be. For every win the Giants got with him on the team in the playoffs, there would be whisperings and there would be what-ifs, from both us Giants fans and from opposing teams, as well. Certainly, there are what-ifs if he doesn't make the roster as well, because, face it, the guy is really good, but San Francisco made the push that got them into the playoffs after his suspension. This team, minus Melky, deserves the playoff run.

Okay. No more words left. This is the end.

- Re: Where Should My Newborn Sleep?
01-02-2014 01:06 PM - edited 01-02-2014 01:14 PM
I'm struggling with what my newborn should sleep in the for first few months before we move her to the crib in her bedroom. So far, I'm hearing these options: 1) use a bassinet, 2) a play yard with a bassinet or 3) just keep the crib in our room at first. This is my first child and I feel completely clueless. I've tried to research this a bit and have found that it is recommended that we keep the baby in our room at first, but I can't find any suggestions on what type of bed will be the best for her. I sort of hate to spend the money (or even register for) for a bassinet because I've heard that it isn't used for very long. It sort of seems like a waste of money since there are other options. I don't know if a play yard is safe. Some play yards advertise a "full bassinet" where the bottom sort of looks raised and I've seen some that have a separate bassinet part that comes with the play yard. So far, what we've looked at as far as play yards, these option just don't look very sturdy. <I know, new parent and I'm probably over analyzing everything!> We have talked about putting her crib in our room to start with, but when we are ready to move it, we'll have to take it apart to get it through the door. This is completely doable, we're just being a little lazy about it. :-) What have you experienced Mom's done in the past and how has that option worked out for you? I'm open to all suggestions expect putting her in the bed with us. I have a friend who did this and they had a tragic accident that ended up with the baby passing.
I did a bassinet with both my other girls. They were both out of it by the 3 month mark because they were bigger and had already doubled their birth weight (weight limit on most is 15 lbs). But since you don't use it very long you can keep using it. However we also got a rock and play sleeper for upstairs since we have two stories since you can't really carry a bassinet up and down the stairs, and we're getting rid of the bassinet and just using that this time. It worked way better when DD2 was sick with a cold and has a higher weight/ age limit so you can get more use out of it. It also folds up and is super light and easy to carry around and store out of the way when you aren't using it and the recline makes it good for refluxy babies.
We're also going to use a pack and play in the laundry room since DD2 is still going to be in a crib for at least 6 more months (probably longer than that if she doesn't climb out) but ours doesn't have a bassinet. The bassinets on them that are the full size look flimsy and they do sort of sway a little bit, but they are pretty solid when you have them on right. They also only have a 15 lb weight limit on them but definitely do the trick. I had someone give me one but it was my barn solution for DD1 and I'm sure it's probably mildewed now.
We did a bassinet for our first and it was very convenient to have them at bedside for quick feedings and diaper changes in the middle of the night.
This time we are doing a "cosleeper" by Arm's Reach which is basically a pack and play bassinet type thing that connects to the side of the bed, that allows easier access to baby.

'Everyone in your family needs to bring enough food for 20-25 people.
Just out of curiosity, does "everyone in your family needs to bring food" mean that you are expected to bring several potluck dishes for 20-25 people?
oh, I forgot about breakfast the next day since they want people to stay over. hmmmmmmm
I would decline. And I would not feel bad about it because the party that I RSVP'd to is no longer happening. This is a different event entirely.
And gee - what about toilets, showers in the morning, etc? Is each person supposed to dig their own latrine as well?
Quote from: TheaterDiva1 on May 05, 2014, 11:59:34 AMAnd gee - what about toilets, showers in the morning, etc? Is each person supposed to dig their own latrine as well?Yuck, TheaterDiva is right!! I wonder if the well and septic on the property can handle the event, or if the "hosts" are renting porta potties. Even with the potties, it sounds like this would be a strain on the well.

As we wind down the second to last week of the legislative session here in New York, a round up of news from the past 48 hours..
The development of natural gas was a hot topic at the Capitol this week, and yesterday advocates on both sides of the issue shared some space. While reports circulated that the Cuomo administration was going to move forward and all natural gas development in New York, albeit on a limited basis, the Governor would not comment definitively.
One of the many bills NFIB/NY is adamantly opposed to and is watching closely the last days of session would allow doctors to collectively bargain.
The Governor and legislative leaders reached an agreement on tax credits for brewers. Cheers to that!
Looking for a summer state job that would pay $51 dollars an hour?

"There are predominately young women who finished high school and got pregnant not once or twice, but three times. Now they are 21 years old with three kids. Their husband, boyfriend or whoever it is has left and they are behind the curve," Moore said.
These mothers, and fathers, have decided they want a better life for themselves and their families. Basic requirements for the program are straightforward. Every applicant must have at least one minor child, be on public assistance and be of a certain income level.
About 90 percent of the contenders do not have a job.
"The No. 1 thing we do is make them look for a job," Moore said.
Families First participants turn in 40 to 60 job applications every week.
"It is a volunteer program, but once they sign up they have to meet a 30 hours per week requirement," Moore said. "[Participants] have a list of activities they can choose from each week, but No. 1 is finding a job."
Incentives are provided for Families First clients.
According to Moore, child care is provided for by the state. Parents may choose another day care with the state paying a minimum amount. Each family receives a small supplement. One child is about $142, Moore said.
"Child care is the biggest need being met. Without childcare, they cannot get a job," Moore said. "We do not have second and third-shift daycare facilities, so a lot of my people can only get daytime jobs."
Gas reimbursement is also provided.
"They do not get rich off gas reimbursement," Moore said. "It is about $3 a day. ... The idea is, if you get a job then it is hopefully enough to get you to and from work each day."
East Tennessee State University's website said Families First, "provides low-income families with financial support, educational opportunities, job training, child care, employment assistance, support services and transitional benefits."
The goal is to move families from government assistance to self-sufficiency.
"If participants make enough money, by Department of Human Services' standards, then they leave Families First," Moore said. "... What we have done is broken the cycle. These people have moved from being dependent on the state completely, to maybe only being dependent a little bit."
Child care continues for six months as graduates of the program slowly begin to cover the cost.
Moore said those who do not follow the rules are ultimately dismissed.
"I tell them if they do not follow the requirements then they lose daycare, they lose the cash reimbursement and they also lose 10 percent of their Food Stamps," Moore said.
He said a majority of those in Families First work hard to meet requirements and stand on their own two feet. Tennessee allows families to stay in the program for up to five years.
Shady Rodriguez-Hernandez, Neighbors in Need case manager, said people who come from Families First respond better to financial plans.
"I just wanted to thank [you for] the work you do," Hernandez said. "Over in Neighbors in Need we also have our people pay forward in the community the funds we give them for resources."

Product Description
4-Row Pull-Type Yield-Pro® Planter
They say good things often come in small packages, and that is certainly the case with the 4-Row Yield-Pro® Planters from Great Plains. Believing it was time to provide smaller farmers access to the yield-increasing technologies offered in our larger planters, our engineers designed three models around the Air-Pro® Metering System, giving these compact planters a new level of spacing and seed placement accuracy.*
For added versatility, the 4-Row Yield-Pro Planters can be configured with either standard single rows or our innovative Twin-Row design on 30", 36", 38", or 40" spacing.
Like their larger Yield-Pro counterparts, the 4-row models each utilize the 25 Series Row Unit for greater accuracy, longer life, and easier maintenance than most competitive row units. Not only does the unit come with a broad selection of clear seed discs to handle a variety of different seeds, but customers also have a choice of press wheels to match every operation and planting style. A hydraulic fan provides positive air to the Air-Pro® Meters for exceptional accuracy. Four-inch manifolds and proportional metering rings ensure the same pressure to each row unit without the worry of air leaks.
Visit www.twin-row.com for more details.
* Lab results with Air-Pro® Meter and Clear-Shot® Seed Tube combination metering medium round seeds.

Zipper Front Knit Romper

Zipper Front Knit Romper
Zipper is too heavy
The zipper is the front is heavy, making the entire front of the romper slouch down and look unflattering. Perhaps someone with a long torso would fare better.

Looks nice in the pic but fit not flattering
I was looking forward to this romper but I was really disappointed when it arrived. The color is beautiful fut the fit not so much. The bottom fits close and the top is extra baggy and I am a 34 DD. I would suggest trying on this romper before you buy it

I Loved it!

Okay, this is making me really sick, so I need to talk about it.
MLB announced the winners of their Dream Job contest a while ago (and know that everything I say about them is not personal to the actual winners. I don't know them. I'm just speaking about the image this whole project has, in my opinion.), I guess, but I missed the news until today (and I never miss news. Let's just say there hasn't been that much buzz around it). So I guess it's a "Fan Cave" (aka Man Cave) in New York where two 30 something guys sit and watch baseball games and you can walk by and stick your nose to the glass and watch them watch baseball games, if you so please.
And get this: Victoria's Secret models visit them.
I consider myself a serious female MLB fan and that video of Chanel Iman at the "Cave"? It screams "this is the role girls play in MLB".
Iman may really be a Yankees fan… but was there any Bronx Bombers analysis from her? Or just her blowin' a kiss?
I mean, was the job ever even open to a women? One would think they had this planned out, that they were going to call them the "cavemen" and everything. Duh, not "cavewoman". And even if they were going to choose a man, why that demographic? These guys are not in a growth field, to speak marketing strategy for a minute. As far as I can tell, they aren't even funny in the frat house sense of the word and they certainly don't have any interesting opinions. These are the guys who I move a few seats away from at the game, because they drink too many beers and spit sunflower seeds at me. Later in the game, I correct them when they start talking stats (true story).
I honestly think MLB fans of either gender should be offended by this representation of us.
If this is the image MLB wants to produce for themselves, fine. Go right ahead. But it's a giant mistake. The world is moving forward and this project is profoundly un-vibrant not to mention offensive.
MLB seems late to the party that you gotta be trendy, interesting and current. I hope they get clued in sooner rather than later or I am becoming a hockey fan.
Geez. I'm kidding.

Cap Henry will also be rewarded as the 2009 Rookie of the Year.

John Bores.
In the Fremont Fence 305 sprints, it came down to the last laps of the championship feature, but when the dust settled, Paul Weaver was able to hold off defending champion Stuart Brubaker by 15 points for the title. Weaver posted 3 feature wins in 2009 at ARP. The rest of the top 10 in points were: 3. Bobby Clark; 4. Nate Dussel; 5. D.J. Foos; 6. Zack Kramer; 7. Josh Muntz; 8. Shawn Valenti; 9. Steve Rando; and 10. Dan Hammond.
In the dirt trucks, 71-year-old Art Ball continues to amaze the competition by posting his third championship in the division to go with two titles he accumulated in the street stocks/limited late model division. Ball took 4 feature wins during 2009. The rest of the top 10 were: 2. Dwight Waltermeier; 3. Alex Wiechman; 4. Brian Arnold; 5. Dan Hennig; 6. Paul Brown Jr., 7. the rookie Keith Sorg; 8. rookie Adam Jones; 9. rookie Curt Inks; and 10. Brian Sorg. Keith Sorg will also be honored as the 2009 Rookie of the Year.
