Turkey offers quite a sophisticated platform for entrepreneurs. It has a diversified industrial base, a relatively stable political and economic environment, a critical mass of willing early adopters, a considerable talent pool, a strong domestic market and underserved neighboring markets. Yet, currently only 6 out of 100 people are entrepreneurs – a very low rate given the country's level of development. What challenges does Turkey need to address in order to unleash entrepreneurship as a force for economic growth?
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to join an extraordinary group of women entrepreneurs mostly from Saudi Arabia for a lunch at the home of the Honorable Esther Coopersmith. All were both proud of their higher education in Saudi Arabia and had started companies in a wide range of businesses from construction to IT. I should not have been surprised. Starting a business in Saudi Arabia is relatively easy. Its "ease of starting a business" rank is 13 out of 183 economies, according the World Bank's Doing Business 2010 data. This is not surprising. Saudi Arabia is widely recognized as a leader in promoting and enabling entrepreneurship and innovation.
Today, we start the seven day countdown for the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, and I want to take the opportunity to highlight a nation where entrepreneurship is starting to bloom: Malaysia. Although not yet a start-up economy, the desire for entrepreneurship and innovation are there, along with a growing number of public policies to support them-- a good recipe to put the economy on the entrepreneurial path.
This morning, President Obama addressed the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship organized by the Department of State and the Department of Commerce following his promise in Cairo last June. The event is designed to promote entrepreneurship in Africa, the Middle East, and South, Central and Southeast Asia as a tool for economic and development policy and to fulfill the President's commitment to broaden and deepen ties between the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
The spirit of entrepreneurship was alive and well at last week's Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship. The White House took a political risk in hosting a summit on "global" entrepreneurship in a climate when so many Americans, anxious about their local economy, are easily blinded to the vital role entrepreneurs play in building the stable economies overseas essential to our growing firms back home. The summit though was a foreign policy success and a solid statement of support for the role all entrepreneurs play in creating jobs and economic growth.
Having focused last month on efforts to further entrepreneurship abroad leading up to the global Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, this week I wanted to focus squarely on the United States ahead of next month's Global Entrepreneurship Week Partners Forum convened at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. Who are some of the leading players in 2010 driving America's startup culture and how does Global Entrepreneurship Week each November enable them to combine voices in underscoring to the American people how entrepreneurs built America?
There has been a lot talk in the past year about job creation, entrepreneurship and economic recovery. Under the economic pressures, it became more important to than ever to examine closely how to unleash the entrepreneurial potential of various groups in society. We know for example that women are under-represented among business founders in high-tech and other high-growth fields despite their increasing participation in science and engineering. Fortunately, we are better prepared every day to inform policy. Today, I examine some of the most recent findings on the factors that affect the survival and growth of startups founded by women.
Once again, entrepreneurial activity showed big in the United States. Last year was a tough year for entrepreneurs. We have experienced a deep recession, credit crunch and record unemployment rates. But although the odds were against them, new-business creation during the 2007-2009 recession years increased steadily year to year (e.g. 60,000 more starts per month in 2009 than in 2007) and 2009 became the year business startups reached their highest level in 14 years. The number of startups even exceeded the count during the peak of the 1999-2000 technology boom.
President Obama has made it a priority to address one of America's greatest challenges, meeting energy demand in a sustainable way by transforming the ways we produce and consume energy. He assembled a team that could help him in this task, such as science adviser John Holdren, Energy Secretary Steven Chu and energy adviser Carol Browner. Congress in turn is working on climate change legislation that could foster a new wave of energy innovation. Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman have recently unveiled their new energy bill that would introduce fees on carbon emissions. Other recent developments in Washington have included entrepreneurs, which signals a government push to leverage their risk-taking behavior and the power of individual innovators.
Washington has been busy on several fronts important to entrepreneurs these past few months. One we must not forget to reflect on is the recent U.S. Senate approval of a bipartisan-sponsored amendment to the financial reform bill that protects against creating new barriers for high-growth entrepreneurs seeking to raise angel capital. This "Angel Amendment" addressed two of the original provisions in the bill that had the potential of creating regulatory obstacles for entrepreneurs raising angel financing and weakening the pool of angel capital by reducing the number of accredited angel investors.

Diamond as an Element or Compound
Name:Katlyn Status: student Grade: 6-8 Location: TN Country: USA Date: September 2007
Are diamonds classified as an element or a compound?
Diamond is a specific allotrope (form) of the element carbon. It is a covalent network solid, but it is made of atoms of all the same element, carbon.
Many elements in their "uncombined" state consist of covalently- bonded networks (boron, carbon, silicon) or discrete covalent molecules (nitrogen, chlorine, sulfur). They are still elements, regardless of their covalent bonds.
Richard Barrans
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Wyoming
Since diamonds are almost pure carbon it would be classified as an element for all practical purposes. If one wants to get very "picky", there are a few "stray" atoms of other elements in natural diamonds and one could argue that diamonds are a "solid" solution of those atoms. But those kinds of "technical" distinctions are really not the point of classifying substances.
Vince Calder
Diamond is made of pure carbon, with carbon atoms arranged in a cubic structure and bonded to their neighbors in a very compact way. So, diamond is made of an element but it is not an element. It is not a compound either, because, by definition, a compound is made up of two or more elements.
I would say diamond is crystalline form of carbon, that is, it is composed merely of carbon atoms in a highly structured arrangement. It is carbon, like charcoal, but its more expensive due to its good properties and the fantastic marketing to the gullible public.

It started with a single retail site: racksandstands.com, with an abundance of entertainment furniture for sale.
Almost ten years later — and having grown to a portfolio of more than 200 product-specific sites, such as bedroomfurniture.com and cookware.com – the company formerly known as CSN has recently relaunched itself as Wayfair.com.
The original site was very successful, said Niraj Shah, CEO, who cofounded the company with Steven Conine, chairman, in 2002. From entertainment furniture, it moved to other categories fairly quickly, he said, including sites for home office and outdoor decor products. But people identified with individual sites and the company wanted to become more of a single brand — as well as more consumer friendly, and its former name wasn't cutting it.
"People do enjoy selection, if they can find what they want," Shah said. However, there has to be a balance. "We offer everything but keep it digestible. We don't want to make it daunting" for the consumer.
Now known as Wayfair.com, and with the new tagline of "a zillion things home," the site looks to become more appealing to consumers. "Historically, we're focused on the shopping experience and the great selection," he said, but now visitors can do more than shop. Under the leadership of recent addition Kristine Kennedy, a shelter magazine veteran, editorial content will debut shortly, beginning with a blog this month, with more to come around the beginning of March.
And each of the individual product category sites will also soon direct visitors to Wayfair.com directly, if they don't already.
Its product categories are pretty broad, Shah said, but the company is anchored in furniture, decor, lighting — and, surprisingly, plumbing. "We have a very large presence in plumbing, though we emphasize it less in our marketing," he said.
Wayfair.com offers well more than 5,000 brands on the site, Shah said, or about 200 to 300 in any given category, and some areas are getting bigger. While historically the company has not been in large appliances, for example, "now there is more of a push into that." Bedding, which is a few years old, is also growing, and the "selection gets better and better." Housewares, toys, pet goods and accents were some of the categories that were doing well, and Shah said that 100,000 items are added every month. "We're looking for great, new products."
Also under the Wayfair.com umbrella is its flash site Joss & Main, which launched a year ago.
And as the site grows, so will its staff, especially in the areas of engineering, customer service and business intelligence, the company said.
"We're off to a great start," Shah said.
Just the Facts
• One site brings together more than 200 single-category
retail sites
• More than $500 million in
annual sales
• Offers more than 4.5 million items
• Sells more than 5,000 brands
• Employs more than 900 people

I want a shrub with dark leaves to combine with some Little Lime Hydrangeas. Which shrub I pick will change the design plan slightly - at least as far as numbers and which goes where. I was thinking of either of these but open to other suggestions: Little Devil Dwarf Ninebark or Spilled Wine or Fine Wine Weigela Would appreciate opinions of which might be better. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How about a dark green yew or other dark green foliaged plant? The color would be enhanced by the contrast of the different greens vs. the color contrast (and maybe clash) of the maroon plants you mentioned. The weigelas often fade from maroon and end up chocolaty brownish, which doesn't go well with lime green (subjectively). hortster |

Thanks. Do you think the Ninebark would clash as well? I don't want to put an evergreen here since it gets buried under a lot of snow but I'm sure I can find another dark green deciduos shrub. |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 9:21
At the risk of contradicting hortster, (which ordinarily I would never do!) I actually love chocolate and lime. I have a ninebark Coppertina behind my Spirea 'Goldmound' - not quite as chocolately and limey as your pairing would be, but I think that it would work just fine. The fading is something to consider, though - make sure that you are happy with the color it fades to. I like the ninebark much better than the weigela anyway as the bark on the ninebark is lovely in winter when the shrub is bare. Sara |
Like I said, subjective... ;-) hortster |
- Posted by maries1120 none (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 13:25
I don't know about Little Devil but I haven't seen fading with the larger dark Ninebark. I could go with a different Hydrangea like an oakleaf - Pee Wee or Munchkin. My husband likes these and would be happy if I made a place for them. I was thinking Little Lime since comments made it sound like it was an easier one to care for and more reliable than other smaller paniculatas. |
- Posted by wildcatnurseryman (My Page) on Sun, May 12, 13 at 1:25
Not a shrub but is (dark) evergreen and gets as large and substantial as many small shrubs- Hellebores. I think it would be a very nice color and texture contrast to the Hydrangea. |
Marie, if you found Munchkin locally would you mind sharing where? |
- Posted by maries1120 (My Page) on Mon, May 13, 13 at 8:15
whaas - Milaegers has them listed in their plant guide. We didn't get there yet though. We usually go on Mother's Day but went to Minor's so hope to go this coming weekend unless we have monsson rains. I will call first to be sure they have what I want though since it is quite a drive. If you go - save me a couple! :) wildcatnurseryman - hellesbores look interesting. This area might get more shade eventually but will get quite a bit of sun right now - especially (late) afternoon sun. Would these do OK in sun? If not - I will look for another place to try some of these out though. Thanks. |

This tried-and-true text from Allyn Washington, the pioneer of the basic technical mathematics course, is intended for a two- or three-semester course and is taught primarily to students who plan to pursue technical fields. The primary strength of the text is the heavy integration of technical applications, which aids the student in pursuit of a technical career by showing the importance of a strong foundation in algebraic and trigonometric math.
Pretty vague terminology/problem explanation. Be sure your course offers the "MyMathLab" - at least this way you will have a chance to see how to solve the problems. Simply having the odd numbered answers in the back of the book is insufficient. Not all of these books automatically come with the access code for MyMathLab [mine didn't - it cost me an additional $80], so make sure you ask your seller to make sure.
This is the book without the calculus that most physics class require. Don't buy this unless you specifically do NOT need calculus, otherwise it is very much like the "with calculus" edition.
I bought this book for my brother's math class. The book finally arrived (after 8 days) and is in great condition, but there is one big problem. The 'MyMathLab' Series wording is misleading, in that the book did not come with the program attached. Upon examining the description further, I realized that it actually states that the book "may have the Program attached". That word 'may' covers their butt for when someone like me orders a book trusting that I will get what I order, and don't get what I order. The book is absolutely useless for someone who needs the MyMathLab Cd. Fortunately, my brother ended up not needing it, or it would have been returned much faster than it was received. For the BIG LIE, it only deserves one star.

"This injury has affected me. It's made me do things I'm not proud of. I was moody and angry, and I snapped at people, and I snapped at my wife," Sebastian says. "I was behaving more like some kind of degenerate than Sebastian Metz, Guardian Angel, this guy that my wife had married that was pure of heart."
But he's also gained an appreciation for things he didn't have before. "I reconnected with my family," he continues. "I know I will not abuse time the way I did — time is precious. I'll never work as long as I once did, I'll work as hard, but I'm not going to spend my whole life working. That's what I did before. I did the job all the time; 24/7 was the deal. I spent all my time working, coming home late, going in early, skipping lunch.... The Angels are important, but my wife and son, it's not even close."
The Angels still pay Sebastian a small stipend, and he still does regional work, recruiting and helping to develop new chapters. He plans to get the newsletter back out. Under the leadership of Arch Angel, who took over in January, the chapter has moved back to Capitol Hill, and membership stands at about ten Angels. At Sebastian's request, even Doc has returned to help.
Outside of New York, where Sliwa has always held things together, every chapter in the country has gone through something like this, Sebastian says. And Sebastian was usually the one who revived them. So before he moves to Nashville, which he plans to do, he hopes to pull one more Angels chapter back together.
"The Sebastian you deal with now, he's brick," Sliwa says. "That's the highest compliment we can give to a Guardian Angel.He's been to hell and back, and he's ready to do it again — there's no stopping him.... He's a living, walking, breathing example that somebody can make a difference.
"We're in 102 cities and ten countries, and I've dealt with tens of thousands of Guardian Angels over the years, and there is nobody that can come close to this guy. We need him now more than ever before in Denver."
Sebastian's small apartment has a kitchen and a bathroom and a bedroom that doubles as a living room and office. Inside the lone closet, he keeps a couple of big boxes filled with old newspaper clippings about the Angels from Europe and Australia and Denver and New York. When he's not walking the streets, he spends much of his time writing about growing up, about the Angels and life after surgery, choosing a topic depending on his mood. One day he hopes to publish his work, to get it all out, but right now it's more like therapy for him. It helps with his memory.
All of his income goes to insurance, medication, rent and food. His sister pays for him to have a cell phone, and Shauna helps him out, too.
"In the future, I hope to be smarter with my time," he says. "I want to make sure that what I do has a bigger impact on things and on the community. I think the stuff with the Angels is a good program, but I think the world is changing.... The need for patrols is still there, but I think there's a growing need for working with young guys before they turn into the criminals.... I'm more interested in preventative work. Intervening was an immediate feeling, gratifying, but now I can no longer do that. I want to turn my efforts to those things that can have long-term impact on people."
Like the impact he had a dozen years ago on the kid who fell off the skateboard that Sebastian hopes will be Denver's newest Angel.

Blog Post: The Panda Patent: Brand Mentions Are the Future of Link Building
Gianluca and Simon question for you,
how do will affect generic brand names and URLs (sample industry.com)? the word is highly used one. isn't there something more that has to be on site, like one link on the domain authority that at least points to certain reference that is that brand that is being mentioned.
I have noticed a certain increase on site serps (but is also part of the general growth), since my site has the generic branding trying to understand the point in depth.

Has anyone had anything to do with this plan as far as dentistry? I guess you find out how much money you're looking to spend on your teeth and then you can spread it over up to 5 years. Is this a real health plan or some kind of scam?

Follow-Up Postings:
I would certainly want to pay attention to the fine print. This is copied from their site. We offer installment loans with low, fixed rates from 1.99% APR to 23.99% APR*, or interest-free loans** for 3, 6, 12, or 18 months to qualified applicants. Either way, you'll be able to find an option designed to fit within your budget. I do see though that they have a payment calculator with payments up to 60 months. seems a good bit like so many credit card plans...rate is determined by your credit score...as low as 1.9* (whatever * means...lol)...maybe after a 'fee' is paid for the great 1.9% rate...or maybe 1.9% for a partial term of the loan. The rate would likely go up for any number of reasons...like one late payment anywhere that gets reported to the crdit bureau. Buyer beware is my thought on them. Sue |

The BISG's Consumer Attitudes Toward E-Book Reading survey has revealed that, in the last six months, consumers' 'first choice' preference for dedicated eReaders has fallen from 72% to 58%, with tablets rising from 13% to 24% over the same time-frame.
However, the notion that this increase is being driven by Apple's iPad can be dispelled, with BISG indicating that readers are actually turning to tablets from Amazon (with the Kindle Fire) and Barnes & Noble (the Nook Tablet) instead. These slates helped non-Apple devices increase from a 5% share in August 2011 to 14% in February, while the iPad's popularity increased by just 1% over this period.
"The movement from dedicated e-readers to multi-function tablet devices is an important one for publishers to understand, as it allows them to deliver a richer, more interactive e-book experience," said Angela Bole, BISG's deputy executive director. "One of the strengths of this study is that it can plot such evolution, preparing publishers for what e-book readers want and expect from them next."
Despite the suggestion of eReaders falling in popularity, the study otherwise reported a buoyant book market, both for print and digital.
Back when the research was carried out in February, nearly 30% of respondents revealed they spent more on books of all formats since first buying eBooks, while almost 50% reported that they subsequently owned more book titles.
The numbers were even more impressive for eBooks, with more than 62% of respondents (there were 1,062 in all) spending more dollars on books of this format, and over 72% increasing the number of eBooks in their library since last August.
Although the above respondents were generally labelled as "Power Buyers" – readers who acquire eBooks on a weekly basis, BISG's report did also look into the behaviour of "Casual Buyers" – readers who buy one or two books each month.
The study revealed that this 'second generation' of eBook and eReader adopters is catching up with Power Buyers in some ways, as more than 27% of Casual Buyers now exclusively purchase eBooks rather than print, compared to 30% of Power Buyers. However, the BISG did say that these users do lag significantly behind Power Buyers on the uptake of multi-function devices as only half of Casual Buyers use a tablet regularly, compared to 83% of Power Buyers.

Manchester United v Real Madrid: Best team lost - Jose Mourinho
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has claimed "the best team lost" after 10-man Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League.
United went ahead in the last-16 second leg tie before Nani was controversially dismissed for a high challenge.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on his return to Old Trafford, then tapped in the winner after Luka Modric's stunning equaliser.
"Independent of the decision, the best team lost. We didn't deserve to win but football is like this," Mourinho said.
Man Utd v Real Madrid facts
- Real Madrid had only previously advanced once in the Champions League after recording a home draw in the first leg, but that was also against Manchester United in 1999-2000
- Real Madrid are now the only team to win away to Manchester United twice in the Champions League
- Cristiano Ronaldo's winning goal was his eighth goal in eight games in the competition this season
Following a 1-1 draw in Spain, United had edged a tight second-leg opening in which captain Nemanja Vidic struck the post with a powerful header.
They finally took the lead - on the night and on aggregate - at the start of the second half, when Sergio Ramos deflected Nani's cross into his own net.
The match then turned in Real's favour just before the hour mark when referee Cuneyt Cakir dismissed the Portuguese for a high boot that made contact with Alvaro Arbeloa's rib-cage.
Mourinho's side took advantage of the decision in clinical fashion. Former Tottenham player Modric curled in a sublime equaliser after he came off the substitute's bench, and Ronaldo scored from close range after a stylish move.
"My feeling is that Manchester United were playing very well, were very compact and aggressive in a good way," Mourinho added. "I doubt that 11 v 11 we win the match.
"I know Manchester United are giants, not just physically but mentally. I know they have a manager who can motivate then, but I was waiting for us to play in a different way."
Before kick-off, Ronaldo was given a warm reception by supporters at the club where he had played a pivotal role in the winning of the Champions League in 2008, as well as three Premier League titles, in a six-year spell in England.
The attacker - who moved to Real for a record £80m fee in 2009 - admitted he had been overwhelmed by the reaction.
"It was unbelievable," he said. "It was an emotional moment for me, for both games, but especially tonight.
"I do not have words to explain how I feel. The supporters made me feel shy. I did not play how I play all the time."
When asked to comment on rumours of a potential return to Old Trafford, he replied: "The future I never know, but the supporters here and the club are massive.
"At this moment I am very happy in Madrid and I want to be there."

7th March 2013 - 10:50"the best team lost" Jose is definitely the special one, apart from all his other talents he has a very dry black sense of humour. I can just imagine on the trip home, he stands up and says mournfully "the best team lost" to howls of laughter! United were second best trying to hang on to an away goal. RM should have had 5 goals from the first leg alone, dream on SAF.

7th March 2013 - 9:30Mmmm...Jose working his PR skills again? Future successor at Old Trafford perhaps? Sure the utd fans will take some comfort from his 'nice' words.
Reality is decisions go for and against your team and on this 'rare' occasion it went against utd

Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner mobilizes moms to fight for their rights
As co-founder of MomsRising.org, Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner of Kirkland has amassed an army of 1.3 million members willing to rally, jawbone, lobby and otherwise fight for the rights of mothers and families. The group has taken an active role in promoting everything from paid family leave to universal health care and better wages for women.

A CROWD HAS gathered expectantly on a hot summer afternoon in Seattle's Pratt Park. Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner is standing off to the side, her hair freshly styled, a crumpled sheaf of handwritten notes in her hand. In a few moments she will take the stage, standing before several thousand union workers and physicians, seasoned activists and curious onlookers, all of whom are eager to march for health-care reform.
It's a far cry from the kitchen table in Kirkland where Rowe-Finkbeiner, 40, first began to type out her ideas asserting that America's family policies are backward. Now 3,500 people are amassed before her, some who have traveled across the state, applauding as the mother of two shouts into the microphone that, compared with toilet-training a 2-year-old, taking on insurance-industry lobbyists is no big deal.
She tells a story about her son (adding that she rarely shares such personal information in public), describing how his childhood illness had forced her to abandon work — along with health insurance — to care for him.
Her husband, Bill, had been able to cover them both.
But what if he hadn't?
"It opened my eyes to just how close to the edge we all are," she tells the assembled multitudes. Then comes the rallying cry.
"Moms of America are standing up," she shouts to cheers. "We've got to do right by our moms."
KRISTIN ROWE-Finkbeiner does not immediately strike you as an up-and-coming political figure. She is only a few years out of a career as a freelance writer. She carries her son's asthma medications in her purse, alongside a pink lipstick, rushing from his lacrosse games to media interviews.
But that is just surface gloss. The determinedly cheerful blonde has an eye for statistics, a voracious appetite for public policy and a facility with facts and figures that would make Alan Greenspan jealous.
Too high-revving to sip coffee at our first interview, she reels off some of the basics:
The U.S. Census shows that families with a stay-at-home parent are seven times more likely to live in poverty. And while 72 percent of mothers work, women with children are hired 79 percent less often than those without kids, according to a Cornell University study from 2007. Once they find employment, moms are offered starting salaries that are $11,000 less than men's.
Motherhood generally means an economic free fall for women, Rowe-Finkbeiner says.
To some, her solution — provide universal health care, fund family leave and grant all workers paid sick days — sounds impossible, the pie-in-the-sky wishes of a Pollyanna with no command of the political fine points. But the Obama administration has twice requested Rowe-Finkbeiner's presence at major policy events. U.S. Senators Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid blog on her Web site. And more than 1 million people have become members of the advocacy group, MomsRising, that Rowe-Finkbeiner cofounded three years ago to push for her family-friendly goals.
To her, this is feminism come full circle — from supporting women in the workplace to supporting women with children. "I sort of thought that feminists before me had taken care of this problem," she says. "But it turns out that motherhood is one of the biggest modern barriers to economic equality."
Her energy is prodigious, but Rowe-Finkbeiner's true genius is in using the Internet and its social-networking sites to further her political aims. She can press a few buttons and generate throngs.
"When I started using Facebook, Kristin was one of the first people who 'friended' me, just on the strength of having my e-mail through MomsRising," says Alison Duren-Sutherland, a Renton mom who works part-time processing insurance forms at a doctor's office. "I don't know her, but I'd read her updates about going to Washington, but also about going on vacation with her family. She's very much a real person, and that is what brought her to these issues."
Since that early introduction, Duren-Sutherland has been emboldened to lobby in Olympia for paid family leave, meet with U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell on health-care reform and start her own blog on midwifery and related health issues.
"A lot of people may talk about family values, but they're not talking about how to actually make this country work for families — and MomsRising is," she says. "They deal with these issues. And people show up."
A wink at Betty Crocker-style mommies frames much of Rowe-Finkbeiner's work, but behind the cookie campaigns and "power of onesies" events stands an army of women mobilized to fight for societal change, undeterred by corporate cold shoulders. At dawn on June 30, 32,000 MomsRising members flooded the e-mail in-boxes of mortgage-company CEOs who had not supported President Obama's Making Home Affordable plan. By noon, OneWest Bank had announced that it would change course, and a few days later, after 50,000 letters had been sent, Goldman Sachs did the same.
"It's sort of at people's peril that they don't listen to mothers," Rowe-Finkbeiner says, pointing out that with women making up more than 50 percent of the vote and most women being moms — well, you can do the math.
FIGHTING FOR fundamental changes to the American workplace economy and tying this to the sanctified — sometimes vilified — institution of motherhood has attracted plenty of cynics. Bloggers rant about entitled mommies who think nothing of taking over quiet coffee shops with their baby carriages and noisy children. If you can't afford child care and health insurance, they rail, maybe you shouldn't get pregnant. To Rowe-Finkbeiner, that is just poorly disguised sexism.
"The comments can be incredibly charged," she says. "One that stays with me on paid leave is: 'If I have to help with your kid, you need to help with my dog license.' For real. People are talking that way about children."
Married to a former Republican state senator, Rowe-Finkbeiner refuses to see her issues as partisan. Democrats and Republicans have babies, she says. Democrats and Republicans go into poverty. Everyone gets sick and needs paid days off. Everyone has a mother. "If you have a belly button," she likes to say, "you need to be concerned about these issues."
But she has learned to temper her activist streak by supporting her position with facts, not rhetoric. Having a husband who did not always agree with her ideology helped.
"He asks the tough questions," she says. "Some of our 'discussions' are years long."
Among their most fractious debates: Paid family leave. Bill Finkbeiner, a small-business owner working in real-estate development, was staunchly opposed to it during the 14 years he served in the Legislature.
"I was pretty sensitive to the challenges that small businesses face, so when paid family leave first came up I thought it'd be a nice thing to do. But how big was this problem, really?" he says. "Kristin did just an incredible amount of research on this issue, and she opened my eyes. I wouldn't say I've radically changed my politics, but I definitely am more aware of some of the issues based on what I've learned from Kristin. Part of the reason these things haven't gotten more traction in the past is that the people who cared about them felt somewhat disaffected from politics. Now they have a way to express their opinion. The economy makes it tough, but the hearing and attention that's going to get paid is tenfold what it was before MomsRising was out there."
MUCH OF her effort comes out of Rowe-Finkbeiner's personal sense that mothers in America are victims of economic discrimination because government policy has not kept up with societal change.
"Our economic structure is based on a family that is no longer typical — a 1950s family," she says, "which is hugely different today than even just a few years ago. Three-quarters of moms are in the labor force now."
Her own mother was a single parent, raising the family in Maryland. But when Rowe-Finkbeiner herself was forced to leave work to care for her son, she wondered how many other women were in similar situations. Or worse. She made a few phone calls and found there was no data to answer the question.
"At the Department of Labor, they told me, essentially, 'because they're not paid, we don't track them.' "
With that, an activist was born.
Rowe-Finkbeiner wrote a book, "The F Word," about feminism on the wane, and in 2006 joined forces with Joan Blades, co-founder of MoveOn.org, to write "The Motherhood Manifesto." At the same time, they kicked off the MomsRising Web site as a meeting place and clearinghouse for information on everything from toxic toys to paid sick days. There, members also share stories — some of them desperate — about having to choose between food and health care for their children, or donating blood plasma to pay for basic household items.
"I think the current economic crisis is a wake-up call," Rowe-Finkbeiner says. "What's happening with mothers and families now is becoming critical — quickly. People think it's their fault that they can't juggle everything at the same time, when actually, these problems are part of the nation's economic structure."
In delivering that message to lawmakers, MomsRising is tireless, and effective. One group of mothers met with state Sen. Majority Leader Lisa Brown to discuss funding early childhood education. They were granted just 20 minutes, between the senator's breakfast meeting and her talk with Seattle's mayor. But in that time they managed to elicit assurances that Senate Democrats would make early learning a legislative priority in the coming session.
When Brown duly mentions the grim economy — the projected state budget shortfall is $2.6 billion — Rowe-Finkbeiner nods and offers a model for early learning that has been effective and cost efficient: the military's. She delivers proof that it is possible. She comments about constituent support. "This issue generates perhaps the most intense reaction of any for our members," she says.
After the meeting, a waitress pulls Rowe-Finkbeiner aside, confesses that she could not help overhearing and offers to pay for the group's coffee and toast in support.
Similarly populist tactics helped MomsRising win passage of the state Paid Family Leave Act in 2006, though it remains unfunded. Sen. Brown acknowledged that the issue is a hard sell among her colleagues in Olympia.
"On the other hand," she says, "MomsRising shouldn't wait to voice these concerns because their stories are even more compelling now, and the Obama administration has made a commitment to these issues, so there is some synergy here.
"Kristin is a powerhouse," she adds. "And we just haven't really had a movement of mobilized, articulate parents working on behalf of children like this before."
MOMSRISING.ORG is an all-Internet organization. There are staffers around the country, but no actual headquarters. There are policy positions and campaigns, but little of it exists on paper. Almost no one is in the "office" between 3 and 8 p.m., when children are getting picked up from school and dinners are being prepared.
Nevertheless, membership exploded to 1.3 million on Mother's Day, thanks to the group's ingenious video celebrating the power of moms. It bounced around cyberspace, generating about 100,000 sign-ups per hour and made MomsRising one of the largest membership nonprofits in the country. Rowe-Finkbeiner has since grown accustomed to jetting across the country to Washington, D.C., and back in a single day.
Finding a way to engage parents juggling children, households and careers, with no time for traditional activism, has been key to their success. Rowe-Finkbeiner and her staff are expert at crafting e-mails to legislators that members need only sign before clicking "send."
"To be so busy and still have your feet in politics is just amazing," says Yvonne Zick, 36, who lives on Vashon Island with two children and has been a member for years. So galvanized was she by the group's campaign for paid family leave that Zick (and her husband) wore T-shirts sporting the MomsRising logo every day until the law passed. "That I can in five seconds say, 'I believe in a cause' and my voice is heard is amazing," she says. "It is no small thing what that woman is doing. She is literally changing the way politics is run."

*inspired by the song "Lover's Spit" by Broken Social Scene.
Golden red, your arms were a sinewy fence around
my form as we sat on the fire escape overlooking
a schizophrenic town.
Your lips tickled my cheek and I stroked the back
of your head, twisting
my fingers in your burnt wheat-colored strands.
"Remember when we used to get excited over
the smallest things," I asked.
"Like kissing awkwardly and
stumbling through doorways,
dragging in the scent of fresh
cut grass and angel's sweat?"
"Yeah," you said. "But let's play it out again,
baby, before Philadelphia
pokes a hole through our stage,
let's steal the night's innocence
like we did the first time with condoms,
shrinking violets, and last minute promises."
"You're insane," I whispered when you pulled me up.
"But what the hell?"
For once, we were both vulnerable in
the chill of an Anglican dusk.
Rustling fabric, wet lashes
and turning bodies on Italian leather;
nothing could touch us as we came hard and fast,
crawling inside each other's skin.
When we awoke, we found lover's spit streaked
across the bathroom mirror and
you wouldn't let me help clean it up because
you said I'd miss my flight but
I wanted you to hold me down
on the bamboo floor because
Philadelphia could go up in smoke and I'd
still have your bourbon taste in my mouth.
But that's not how the story goes..
We're together because we want to be,
not because the world tries to stop us.
And you used to say that romance was
made for imaginary princesses and
flying boys, not for real people.
"Parisian tables and lipstick stains
on crumpled up menus," you scoffed.
"That's what it comes down to."
But now I know you watch me
sleep and count my freckles in the dark.
With your medallion in one hand
and a dufflebag in the other,
I stood in the hallway with
a goodbye melting on my tongue like a bad party drug.
But you just shook your head,
your vintage tiger eyes glowing like fireside chocolate
and said, "Baby, if you come back to me,
we'll find another way to murder the stars."
I'm going to have to find that song, is it as steamy as your interpretation? You should edit out one of the 'now''s in that second to last stanza or was that deliberate?
Second to last = antepenultimate.
Maybe "penultimate" works a tad better? :)
Whatever... I agree with you!
that was just a typo, people. calm down! haha thanks for the feedback, and yes, the song is steamy ;)
That's not a word I keep in my short-term memory bank, but yes sir, you are correct. I would use penultimate I believe, then again I try to keep it simple. If he simply re-reads the stanza I referenced, he'll likely see it.
I hope you know that I was just playing... no offense?
Not really worth getting upset over it, I was just kidding,as well.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author McLaren, Linde email@example.com URN etd-10072011-125747 Document Title Critical marketing success factors for sustainable rural tourism routes : a KwaZulu-Natal stakeholder perspective Degree MPhil Department Tourism Management Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof E T Heath Supervisor Keywords
- KwaZulu-Natal
- stakeholders
- rural tourism routes
Date 2011-09-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract If tourism is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and create employment, tourists also need to be attracted to smaller towns and rural areas. Development of rural tourism routes are often supply-side driven and the role of marketing is not well understood. This study therefore explores the experiences and insights of key supply-side stakeholders in two rural KwaZulu-Natal tourism routes, regarding the marketing of these routes, as well as the critical success factors that ensure future sustainable competitiveness, which may lead to local economic development and thus poverty relief.
The researcher adopted an interpretivist epistemology along with subjectivist ontology, to allow for empathetic investigation of the perceptions of the stakeholders in rural tourism routes and of the marketing of such routes. Three approaches converged in the empirical study namely: a qualitative approach which allowed the researcher to gain more in-depth understanding of the factors related to route marketing; an exploratory approach which allowed the researcher to pursue new issues uncovered during the research process; and a case study approach which triangulates a variety of sources of information. Two very different routes were selected to provide wider insight into the research problem, namely the Midlands Meander and the Battlefields Route. The population was restricted to supply-side stakeholders and semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 29 respondents, selected through a combination of purposive and snowball sampling.
The literature review explores rural tourism as a catalyst for economic development. The role of stakeholders in tourism routes is examined and the range of stakeholders is identified. The concept of societal marketing as an orientation that may give support to local economic development is explored. Destination marketing and the destination marketing mix, is discussed as the foundation of tourism route marketing. Particular attention is paid to destination branding and positioning, and a number of critical success factors in destination marketing are identified. The nature of tourism route marketing, the elements in the route marketing mix, and critical success factors in rural tourism route marketing are identified from the literature. The marketing practices of several international rural tourism routes are examined to determine good practice. Existing marketing activities and structures within KwaZulu-Natal are described as the background against which the two routes market their offerings.
The empirical findings of the study reports on the benefits of rural tourism routes as perceived for various stakeholders. The roles of product owners on the route, the local community, and municipal and tourism marketing structures are described. Strategic route marketing issues are reported on, including sustainability of a route, insufficient visitors, responsibility to market the route, market targeting and factors that impact on marketing success. The elements of the route marketing mix are reported on with reference to the route product offering and experience, people, physical evidence and signage, pricing, and promotion.
The study revealed a number of enabling factors that need to be in place for a route to succeed, namely leadership and co-operation on all levels; a functional route structure with broad representation; financial viability of the route; and route accessibility and signage. Several factors critical for the successful marketing of rural tourism routes are identified. These include the establishment of a strong identity and brand; providing a unique experience; balancing the route product mix, promotion of the route by all stakeholders; and effective use of electronic media. Recommendations are made for further research on rural tourism routes.

Slowly but surely Pinterest is rolling out their new look to users. The Social Solutions Collective got the new look just this week and I am excited to give you a quick tour of the new interface.
There are two major changes and a few minor ones. Note: If you get offered the new look, Pinterest has made it easy for you to get used to it. You can still switch back to the old look whenever you choose. Some of the features of the old look are not yet available on the new interface, therefore they let you switch back and forth with the switch of one button.
Two Major Changes
When you get the new look, you'll immediately notice two major changes: larger pins & a new navigation system. Let's explore both.
Pin Changes:
Besides being slightly, but noticeably larger, when you click on a pin you can now immediately see the following information about that pin:
All the other pins on that same board:
Other pins pinned from the same source:
A 'Visit Website' button to go directly to the website the pin came from:
All repins for that selected pin and the boards they were repinned to:
Navigation Changes:
The navigation menu for categories is now on the left side of your screen, not in the middle and lets you search very easily.
On the right side of your screen you can still access your boards, pins and your account settings.
I personally like the new look and have enjoyed playing with it this week. I think getting more information about each pin before repinning is a great new feature. Being able to see repins and other pins from the website is a great way to add to the credibility of the source.
What do you think of the new Pinterest look? Do you have the new look yet? I'd love to know your thoughts.

DICE has released yet another Battlefield 4 update for the Xbox 360 version of the game, following the release of an comprehensive-sounding Battlefield 4 Xbox One patch last week. How are you getting on with this? Killed anybody in a gratifyingly smooth and hiccup-free way lately?
According to a Battlelog post, the Xbox One version still needs a bit of tender loving care - DICE is "already working on the next update based on your feedback". Find a list of known issues here, or scroll down for the Battlefield 4 Xbox 360 patch notes.
Fixed one of the most frequently occurring crashes that could happen during round transition.
Reduced the probability of the "Kill trade" issue (see below for details).
Fixed a crash that could occur when bringing up the scoreboard.
Fix for player tags not always showing quickly enough. This could often lead to confusion or team kills on Hardcore servers.
Populated servers are now by default placed on the top in the Server Browser, where previously empty servers would be shown.
Servers that friends are playing on have a higher priority in the server list.
Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode.
Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen after being killed.
Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. Note that you might see a graphical bug on-screen after being revived when accepting a revive within 1 second. This graphical bug will be removed in the next patch.
Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer runs out.
Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for "road killing" opponents.
Fix for an issue where 4x the damage from a vehicle's miniguns would be applied to the chest when a player had the Defense specialization equipped.
Balanced vehicle miniguns to do more damage versus infantry.
Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.
Fixed an issue where players could get stuck in infinite loading when connecting to a server.
Fix for side gunners in attack boats and transport helicopters experiencing jitter when aiming.
Fixed the issue with Levolution events sometimes not being triggered properly when playing the Rush, Defuse, Obliteration and Team/Squad Deathmatch game modes.
Removed the SCAR-H and Ace 52 damage tweaks that were included in a previous patch.
Kill trading issue: We've addressed the so-called "Kill trading". This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.

1-Do peonies have to be cold to bloom the following year? 2-Will summers in the high 80's be too hot for them? I live in zone 8. We might experience high 20's once a year and high 90's for a few weeks a year. I would appreciate help as I have never had peonies and would love to try them. thnks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Peonies will do fine for you. They like the heat as long as they have enough water. They will bloom with as little as 400 hours of winter chill which should be no problem for you. When you plant keep them high enough that the buds are visible in the winter when the plant is dormant. Amend your soil deeply with compost or other vegetative matter before planting. Al |

The Lyons Lions boys' basketball team took on the powerful Strasburg Indians (13 and 2, 5 and 1 in league play) last Friday night (January 31). Despite playing some tough defense right from the start of the game, Lyons found themselves down 18 to 11 after the first quarter. Zach Christiansen was hot with shooting three pointers for the
Lions to get Lyons the lead early.

Hello there. Can someone identify these two carnivorous plants please? I came across them on a hike today. They look carnivorous, so I'm assuming they are. This is in Mundaring, Western Australia. Copy & paste the links below.

Thanks, missing. I missed that - I should have your handle :-) That answers my query, as WA is Western Australia (not your WA, Washington state) Western Australia has a host of Drosera spp. In fact, I believe they have more species than anywhere else in the world. |

Trust Administration Basics: The Role of the Trustee
Learn What Lies Ahead in Trust AdministrationDownload Your Free Report TodayTrust Administration Definition Trust Administration is the process of acting on behalf of a Trust. The trustee in charge is required to go through the Trust Administration process and carry out the instructions as pertained in the Trust document. The person who created the Trust can manage the Trust, then pass it on to a successor trustee to manage upon death. What Does Trust Administration Entail? Trust Administration describes the process of following the instructions for the assets held within the Trust documents, as well as ongoing management of the estate. It is the Trustee's job to see this process through. Some of the duties common to a Trustee's role is to contact creditors and settle any debt against the estate, pay taxes, change asset ownership to heirs and distribute assets based on the provisions of the Trust, and pay any fees associated with Trust Administration. Trust Administration Help Managing the affairs on someone else's behalf can quickly become a stressful and complex affair.

Avicii excited to work with Adam Lambert who is set to appear on Glee?
Last night Avicii took to the stage at the iTunes Festival and premiered his a new track featuring former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert.
The Swedish DJ was on stage at the Roundhouse in London for around 85 minutes before finishing up with 'Lay Me Down' featuring Adam Lambert and Nile Rodgers.
Avicii joined forces with the pair for the track which will appear on his debut album 'True' which was released yesterday in several European countries.
Avicii spoke about working with Lambert saying his vocals were perfect for the track: "I really fell in love with his voice. He just captured something on that first take."
Nile Rodgers, who formed 70's disco band Chic (performing tonight at the iTunes Festival) also features on 'Lay Me Down' and briefly commented also: "I need someone to do a lead vocal so I call Adam Lambert."
'Lay Me Down' has already been made available online to stream in full before the album is released on September 16th in the UK and September 17th in the US.
The album also features the smash hits 'Wake Me Up' and 'You Make Me' which features vocals from Swedish singer Salem Al Fakir.
Adam Lambert also looks set to make an appearance on hit TV show Glee when it returns for its fifth season.
According to Pop Wrapped Adam will appear in the fourth episode of the show and some are suggesting he will play a drag queen. From the sounds of things Adam Lambert will play Kurt's (Chris Colfer) enemy and is likely to perform with Dani who will be played by Demi Lovato (pictured on set below).
When it comes to what he'll be singing it sounds like he may be singing Lady Gaga's 'Applause' and Katy Perry's 'Roar' but with Glee it's very possible we could see a mash-up of the two.
As of yet though the star has yet to appear on set for filming as the show is taking a break following the death of actor Cory Monteith who played Finn Hudson.
The third episode was a tribute to Cory Monteith which as expect would have been incredibly difficult for all to film so producers of the show decided to give the cast and crew a break while they plan out where to take the show next following the death of Finn Hudson in the show.
Adam Lambert took to Twitter to talk about the rumours:
Rumors are funny, pesky lil things.
— Adam Lambert (@adamlambert) September 12, 2013
What I'm sayin is- the rumor mill warps the facts. Be patient lil Glamhoppers: wait and see.
— Adam Lambert (@adamlambert) September 12, 2013

I'm addicted to LAY ME DOWN…PERFECT COLLABORATION OF AVICII+NILE RODGERS +ADAM…THIS SONG IS E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.
Avicii has a giant hit for himself, and he's taking Nile and Adam along for the ride . They make a great trio, hope to hear more from them.
Glee has a hiatus every year because of baseball. It is not just because of the Monteith's untimely death. It is great that Adam has joined the cast. I am sure they will get many new viewers who will tune in just to hear the best live entertainer of this generation.
Adam 's voice really perfect, he could sing all songs so easily, so avicii love adam's voice not wrong. I agree with avicii
I've been exciting for Adam cast glee, I want to watch his performance with glee. But Before i never watched glee, now i'll watch it 😊
I love lay me down, it really makes me feel good, not only I always love Adam lambert's voice . I knew his voice so strong and cool .
Avicii and Adam, Nile worked together, I believed that it so good , I thought them will get to success for lay me down , when this song coming soon .
Can't wait for Adam on Glee, but hope he won't be playing a drag queen. This is an opportunity for him to expand his audience and show that he isn't just a gay singer, but a diverse entertainer that can play any part. The Glam Nation Tour was glitter, glam and fun and Trespassing has shown a pop,personal,light and dark side of Adam. I'd like to see Adam as an entertainer first, hopefully capturing more main stream fans and not labeled only as able to play gay characters. It's only one part of him and he is so much more.
Check out Adam Lambert with Queen in Kiev or Hammersmith in London. He will blow you away!Even Dr. Brian May of Queen said"jaws will drop around the world" and he almost forgot to play while watching Adam sing. His face while watching Adam sing Somebody to Love showed absolute amazement. Who Wants to Live Forever and The Show Must Go On will stun you and give you goose bumps. I hope Glee will offer Adam the opportunity to stun the TV audience with his majestic talent.
The Queen/Adam performances are on Youtube.The Avicii album is great and Lay Me Down is my fave.
one take, he did those vocals on the first take, once…after a hangover, astonishing performer
Drag queen ??? No I love Adam but nooooooo
I'm going to support Adam sing with band queen, I really love Adam and queen .
Love Adam, but I hope he doesn't play a drag queen. He has so much talent to show off and I would love for people to take him seriosuly. He is so under rated as an artist.

Thanks for the quote. It's good. But what does this quote mean? "Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." I have never heard of a "death song". |
West Gardener, it's Native American metaphor, I believe it means your own personal chant, but on a deeper level, not a ritual or anything like that, not even vocalization - sometimes metaphors are hard to translate... |

Good morning quads and calves, it's time to wake up. Apparently last night there was 90 mph winds and pretty serious thunderstorms? I wouldn't know because the bed that couch surfer Tamara lent me for the night held me tightly as I drifted into a much needed sleep coma. Sleeping til noon was a definite possibility but I had a Fairfield Recorder interview at 8am, so I joinedTamara for a bowl of oatmeal, we say our farewells, and I headed off to meet my first reporter! http://www.thefairfieldrecorder.net/news/2011-04-14/News/To_take_cancer_from_the_race____Man_rides_bike_330.html
After the interview, I started out on the road heading towards Waxahachie Creek park about 70 miles away. 75 degrees out, the cooler temperature was welcomed by my toasty and red shoulders(despite multiple sun screen applications, I missed a couple spots…). However, with the cooler air from the north, came a strong 15-20 mph north wind blowing directly into my face…Hills and a head wind=BAD. I was going down hills at 10mph, that I would've been going 20+mph the previous day. Right from the start I found myself visualizing the little engine that could saying, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.." while my legs were thinking Dr. Kevorkian's assisted-suicide death machine wasn't too bad an idea right about now(disclaimer: the opinions of my legs during time of distress do not reflect the opinions of Sam Davenport or anyone associated with Infinity and Beyond).
Just like the days in the past, after the first 20 or 30 miles of mental and physical anguish, the miles and time were flying by faster than the north wind. The gorgeous array of wildflowers and punishing yet beautiful rolling hills made the day's ride seem sublime, perfect, with out compare. I continue to wonder how on earth I have come this far and how amazing the human body is. My legs may hurt, but somehow they keep trucking on at a pace not too far from what they were doing in the start. Its obvious that often times in life we settle for what our mind says is limit. Mental blocks and the statement, "I can't" keep us from realizing our full potential. When was the last time you truly surprised your self by something you did? Better question, when was the last time you truly surprised yourself by something you couldn't do? It's pretty unfortunate that most of us answer with "I don't know". This is because most of us stop before we get to the "surprised" point due to our fear of failure. Aim big. Failure is simply a stepping stone to success.
"Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more."-A. Lou Vickery
What you want is exactly what you get. If you aim for average, you're going to get average. Aim for something above what you THINK you can do and I think you'll be surprised by the results. Think, "Infinity and Beyond" (sorry, I just couldn't resist). This applies to anything in life. Business, relationships, athletic feats, etc.
"The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action"- A. Godin
RANDOM: Sooo, I'm hitting the 300 mile point and couldn't help but stop to celebrate! I pull over at a gas station and treat myself to 3 hershey's chocolate bars.. OMG..yum. and they have almonds..so they are kinda healthy right? Better and safer than pulling over for a bottle of champagne. Plus, I'm sure I burned them all off in the next hour.
At about 6pm I had about 15 miles left in the day's ride and I couldn't believe that I'll be finishing this 5 day bike tour at about this same time tomorrow. CRAZY. The thought of my bed at my parents house in Argyle definitely became my major motivator. It didn't matter if I twisted both my ankles setting up my tent tonight, I was finishing this TOMORROW. Arriving at Waxahachie Creek Park around 7:30, I was the ONLY person on the campground.
I was looking forward to talking with camp neighbors, but being able to camp in such a beautiful lakeside park had its perks. The wind calmed(right when I'm done riding, typical), the lake was like glass, and I felt like I could hear bass jumping over a mile away. The sunset over the lake was just as elegant and gorgeous as the ones I'd seen so many times on the coast in Galveston.
Pasta, peanut butter, and tortillas were followed by bed time around 10pm. I wanted to be able to wake early for the next days bike finale. Out like a light.

Log in to share your thoughts Re: Is it okay to keep breastfeeding my 10-month-old if I'm pregnant? Many experts agree that it's safe to continue breastfeeding during pregnancy. In fact, there are tons of doctors, lactation consultants, and moms who would encourage you to keep it up. All over the globe, mothers breastfeed during pregnancy and go on to deliver healthy babies. Here are a few common concerns and how to deal with them:NutritionThere's no evidence that baby or baby-to-be (or you) will suffer nutritionally as long as you keep up a healthy, balanced diet and follow the same weight-gain parameters as you would if you weren't breastfeeding.You may possibly need to supplement your 10-month-old's diet during this time, due to the natural drop in milk supply that accompanies pregnancy. Monitor her growth and hunger cues in order to assess if she needs additional calories.In general, your body will take the nutrients it needs for the fetus first, then your nursing baby. You live on the rest, so a healthy diet will help you feel much better.Preterm Labor and Miscarriage RisksIn the past there was concern that the natural contractions that can occur during breastfeeding would put a mom and her fetus at risk for preterm labor or miscarriage. This has been shown to not be the case for normal pregnancies. The only time that weaning is recommended for this reason is if mom has been put on "full pelvic rest" -- meaning she's been told to refrain from sexual activity because she's at increased risk for preterm labor. Sexual activity results in much stronger contractions that breastfeeding does, so if sex is okay then breastfeeding shouldn't be a problem.Drop in Milk SupplyYou will experience a decline in your milk supply during pregnancy. You can accommodate baby's nutritional needs with additional solid foods.Pain and DiscomfortYour breasts and nipples are likely to be sore as you begin your new pregnancy, and breastfeeding can make this worse. (Sorry.) You might also be extra tired, and some moms find that breastfeeding makes them nauseated. (But don't freak just yet -- other moms say breastfeeding helped relieve their morning sickness.)If you are breastfeeding and considering another pregnancy (or are pregnant already), talk to your doctor or midwife about your concerns.

Hello everyone. I need some advice about what to do about my beer. A few weeks ago, I brewed a really strong Old Ale. I ran into some issues with fermentation. It was violent as hell. You wanna talk krausen (still can't spell that), hear this. The second evening this beer was in the fermentor, I came back home to a beer splattered wall because the lid had blown off. It was fermenting so strongly, I couldn't put the air lock back. I had to leave it fermenting open to let it burp beer all night long. After things got relaxed again, I added some dried fruit in the fermentor (it some kind of christmas ale). Well, to make a short story long, I transfered to secondary yesterday, and I'm missing a good solid gallon of beer. I've been debatting with myself all day as to whether I should top it off. I really wanted to this beer to be boozy and strong so I'm reluctant to dilute it, but I'm also concerned about oxydation since I'm gonna let it sit in secondary for 2 months. What you guys do? Top it off or leave it?
Primary: Secondary: Chimay Tripel #1 Conditioning: The Day After Christmas Eve Old Ale, Phil's Classic English #2 Drinking: Irish Rebellion Next Beer: Earthly Brown
Eh, I'd leave it. So you're short a gallon. If you add water you'll just have to adjust the gravity measurements you took in the beginning, and in the end wind up with a different beer than you planned for. Seems like a lot to lose on an over active fermentation though. I've had some pretty active fermentations that went nuts like that, but never lost a gallon!! Jeez. Upgrade to a 6.5 gal carboy for your primary (if you don't already have one) and set up a blow off tube for higher gravity beers next time. This will save you a ton of cleaning in the end. Cheers. Roman
The good thing is that the Krausen will protect the beer from bacteria. It is not unusual to get massive Krausen from wheat beers. I drilled a larger hole with a hole saw into the top of my fermenter and jammed a 1" ID flexible rubber tube in the hole. I sealed the tubing with food grade silcone caulk and ran the other end of the hose into another 5 gallon bucked 1/4 filled with water.Make sure the end of the tubing is under the water. Those little blow-off tubes get clogged with Krausen very quickly.
I agree with the others. Don't top off. You'll have the same total amount of alcohol either way if that's why you are wanting more beer. Just drink less of this, then drink water after to make up for lost volume. Less hangovers that way too.
Up Next: Coffee Stouts, Brett Beers, More Sours, Quad, Brown Primary: Sour Secondary: Sour On Tap: Bottled: The Queenella Dugbe RIS, Avlan RIS,
Thanks for the replies and the advice. This beer is a kicked up version of an old ale. Alcohol content estimates are around 9.5 to 10.5%. I've had beer explode before due to high pressure, but this beer was literally foaming overboard like crazy. I think one of the problems also is that I live in Nevada where it's quite hot, but I don't have A/C so I'm assuming the fermentation was too active due to high temperatures. I think next time I brew something like this, it will be during winter when the house isn't so warm.
