''Big Brother'': America has spoken
Surprised? Not really. We Kaysar lovers knew that we would ultimately prevail. (But with 82 percent of the 5 million votes? Egads!) I still tuned in to make sure that hell hadn't frozen over and America didn't allow Eric to return to the place where he had let his creep flag fly. Even the other houseguests found it highly improbable; Janelle wondered whether ''America ever really saw him storming through the house and acting like a child.'' (But I'm a little sad for Michael. He is kinda smoking, and the dude did get an unfair deal with that whole sexual-harassment thing.) Anyway, goodbye, Cappy! Last season's Survivor winner, Robo Tom, has gotta be embarrassed to share the same profession as you.
But the eviction now that surprised me. I thought James' veto actually provided Howie and the good guys with a new opportunity to disassemble the ''friendship'' alliance and go after ghetto girl. Why didn't Howie work his magic on April and Jennifer and get them to see the light? (And I mean do something other than rub Jennifer's arm like she was a freakin' cat. Did you see how she returned the favor Tuesday by picking at Howie's back? Nice.)
But the friendship prevailed, and by a vote of 6 to 1, a tearful Sarah got the boot. God, what a waste of a vote, a waste of a week. The only thing threatening about Sarah was her inability to spell. She's a nonentity, guys, just like that big ol' boob Beau. Why was Ivette allowed to stay? Maybe to enjoy a last hurrah. Now that Kaysar is back, he's sure to get busy on the friendship unless he feels the need to take care of old business. Namely, James. Clearly, that sad sack suspects that his days are numbered or else he wouldn't have stood back when Kaysar returned to sea of hugs and kisses. He even whispered to Kaysar, ''Dude, you and I have a lot to talk about,'' when everyone ventured outside. God, the guy hasn't even won head of household, and James is already afraid of his power!
Frankly, he should be. Whether Kaysar prevails in that ridiculous pressure-cooker competition (and I can't speak for the other readers, but I hope you 24/7 feed folks post the victor immediately on this message board), I believe everyone will rally around Kaysar over the next week and try to get on his good side. And I expect April will be the first in line. I found it interesting that she said in the diary room how she'd benefit more from Kaysar's return than from Eric's assuming that old wounds haven't healed and Kaysar decides to strike back at Maggie rather than do what makes the most long-term sense.
Listen to me! Even I'm assuming that Kaysar will win HOH (and as of the time I filed this column, there were no winners). But judging by that hothouse, I think it's safe to guess that sissies like Jennifer, April, and Beau won't make it through the flies and whatever else is lurking in those other boxes, so we can count them out. Criminy! I can understand why BB made it an endurance competition, but I still hate this wait mostly because it makes it virtually impossible to predict the players' next move. Maybe a Saturday TV Watch is in order....
So what do you think? Will the friendship start to dissolve even before the next nomination ceremony? Is April starting to look a lot smarter than we gave her credit? Would you pick at someone's back pimples if you knew you were on national television?

2012 Post Draft Winners/Losers: Minnesota Vikings
Posted by Rob Warner in Post Draft Winners/Losers, SPIN Articles No Comments »
The Vikings lost for winnning last season as their week 16 meaningless victory in Washington was very costly in multiple ways.
All everything RB Adrian Peterson suffered a torn ACL/MCL and is still a potential PUP candidate (miss first 6 games) despite being labeled as not human based on his remarkable recovery. The victory also dropped Minnesota to the #3 draft position – one spot behind St Louis which was able to acquire a bevy of picks from Dan Snyder in the RG3 sweepstakes.
Ragnar and Company can step back off the ledge as we expect a few steps forward in 2012 as Minnesota had a strong draft in our opinion. The Vikings smartly selected the best OT in the draft in USC's Matt Kalil which should keep 2nd year QB Christian Ponder from weekly trips to the ER. They also bolstered one of the weaker WR corps in the league with the additions of Arkansas teammates Jarius Wright and Greg Childs. Minnesota also added former Bengal WR Jerome Simpson best known for his Pot Smoking and the ability to leap over defenders. Once he serves his 3-game suspension for Marijuana possession – Simpson is expected to get the start opposite Percy Harvin. However, keep an eye on the rookie Hogs as they could be worth targeting in deeper dynasty leagues as the Vikings continue their youth movement and look to return to the glory days of Carter & Moss.
Here is how we see the Minnesota Depth Chart entering training camp.
QB | Christian Ponder | Joe Webb | Sage Rosenfels | |
RB | Adrian Peterson (INJ) | Toby Gerhardt | Lex Hilliard | |
WR1 | Percy Harvin | Jarius Wright ('R) | Devin Aromashodu | |
WR2 | Jerome Simpson | Michael Jenkins | Stephen Burton | Greg Childs ('R) |
TE | Kyle Rudolph | John Carlson |
WINNERS: QB Christian Ponder (ADP: 223 Overall / QB29)
The rookie signal caller had more downs than ups last season but did show promise. In his defense he was positioned behind one of the worst O-lines in the NFL (allowed 49 sacks – 5th most in the league) and had a less than impressive WR corps (Harvin was the only starting caliber option).
Michael Jenkins and Devin Aromashadu are complimentary options at best and should be replaced in the starting lineup by free agent signing Jerome Simpson. Rookies Jarius Wright (a Harvin clone) and self proclaimed Steal of the Draft Greg Childs (a potential red zone threat at 6'3) should provide Ponder with a solid young nucleus of weapons. Golden Dome TE combo of Kyle Rudolph and John Carlsen will also be targeted early and often in Bill Musgrave's offense (expected to run mulitple 2 TE sets).
Ponder finished last season with a mediocre 13 TDs:13 INTs while averaging just 168 YPG. His running ability could become a factor especially early in the season if AP is forced to sit out the first 6 games on the PUP list. As a final round roll of the dice – Ponder's dual threat ability and upgraded supporting cast (namely O-line and WR corps) should make him a serviceable BYE week filler especially with the Vikings playing catch up most weeks.
LOSERS: WR Michael Jenkins / TE John Carlson
As Jerome Simpson sits in the penalty box for the first three weeks of the season – Jenkins (29 year old Ohio State alum) is expected to get the start but his less than impressive resume keeps him off the fantasy radar.
Jenkins has failed to average more than 50 YPG in any of his eight NFL seasons and has just 23 career TD catches. With too many newly added mouths to – feed Jenkins will find himself buried on the bench by mid-season at the latest.
The Vikings made one of the more puzzling offseason signings when they ponied up $25 million over 5 years for a backup TE in former Seahawk John Carlsen (missed all of 2011 with a shoulder injury). GM Rick Spielman's love for the Irish may have clouded his rationality. Carlsen hasn't averaged more than 40 YPG in any of his first three seasons. Kyle Rudolph (2nd pick in 2011) is thought to be one of the more promising TEs in the game and should have a breakout 2012 - provided the Vikings use Carlsen in more of a blocking role and free up Rudolph to take advantage of his above average receiving ability. Rudolph should be a favorite in the red zone and makes for a high end TE2 target with TE1 upside especially in dynasty leagues.

Welcome to the new Research Blog on the WDFW SealCam!
July 2014,
The pupping season is in full swing on the haul out now, and my recent high count of pups was 48 on the 25th and I expect the number to continue to increase over the next month. There has been lots of bald eagle action around placentas and carcasses so you may see that on the SealCam along with all the mom and pup pairs. There hasn't been as much raccoon and coyote disturbances this year as there were last year. There was one raccoon that stole a carcass away from an eagle, and one coyote attack.
The bald eagle presence on the island has picked up again this year and they are regular scavengers on the haul out. Here is a picture of 6 eagles fighting over a placenta as a mom and pup pair are nearby slowly getting into the water.
This season I have seen lots of marked females with pups thriving at the haul out. Here are some of the females with their pups from this year. A few of them you may recognize from the field season last year!
Above: 745 with her pup right after birth
Above: 719 with her pup
Above: 488 with her 8 day old pup
We have also sadly had a few marked females lose their pups. This is something that can occur and does frequently enough. It could be due to lots of different fatcors; the pup itself isn't thriving from health reasons, the female and pup get interupted during their initial bonding, they get separated from getting spooked while hauled out or potentially out swimming they get swept away in a current. While it is sad to see lone pups that have been separated from mom it is a common thing to see during the pupping season. This doesn't mean they won't be reunited so it is important to obey the 100 ft away distance law when you come across a seal pup while visiting your local beaches. Adult females are much more weary than pups and are unlikely to come on land while she can see people nearby, it is best to leave entirely and contact your local stranding network or the NOAA hotline.

Invite the children to take their stones from the labyrinth and return them to the basket. Then, ask a few volunteers to help you fold or roll the labyrinth and put it away.
If you have a Word Wall, say:
The words for our World Wall today are "gathering" and "hearth."
Show the group the index cards or post-its on which you have written "gathering" and "hearth." Post them on the Word Wall, or ask a volunteer to do it.
Next, invite everyone to hold hands and sing just the chorus to "When Our Heart Is in a Holy Place ," Hymn 1008 in Singing the Journey.
If you prefer, invite participants to recite the words to the song:
When our heart is in a holy place,
When our heart is in a holy place.
We are blessed with love and amazing grace.
Say in your own words:
Today we have talked about how it feels to gather around a hearth and feel the warmth of family. We heard a story from Native American people that gives one explanation of how humans obtained fire to help keep ourselves warm and cook food together. As you take home your projects from today, let's add the words "hearth" and "gathering" to our Word Wall to remind us of what we learned.

We all know you are startingly delusional, Blago. But you could at least have the sense to avoid emitting your gaseous egotism in front of wry writers like David Remnick.

My Politics Daily colleague Delia Lloyd defends "nanny-state" interventions into our deteriorating individual health. I kind of agree.
In memory of the departed neocon Irving Kristol, The New Republic is featuring some of his pieces from their archives, including this meditation on the superiority of Washington, D.C. over New York. It was 1988 and he was mostly wrong, but he was also partly right.

First came a slew of possesions, ball control and a couple scoring chances the No. 1-seeded Broncos often convert. Nothing happened. Then an eventual lead was wiped away by No. 5 Tolleson even after the Wolverines lost their goalkeeper to injury.
But a heavy collection of juniors and seniors on the Brophy roster have been down these roads several times before in the past two years, notably in big-time tournament or postseason matches.
So the Broncos found another gear long enough to put two in the net in the overtime periods for a 3-1 win over Tolleson in the Division I semifinal on Thursday night at Campo Verde H.S.
Brophy will face No. 3 Desert Vista in Saturday's Division I championship at 6 p.m. at Campo Verde H.S., the Broncos' third consecutive trip to the final match. They won two years ago but fell to Hamilton last year.
Brophy and Desert Vista split a pair of matches in 2011, the last time they faced one another.
"We definitely stepped up and made something happen when we needed it," said senior forward David Lane, who assisted on one of Riggs Lennon's two goals, both of which came in the extra sessions.
In addition to his prolific number of goals in his three-year career with Brophy, Lennon has played a major role in the late dramatics the past couple years, especially in postseason play.
It happened again. In a match which played out significantly closer than the final score suggests, Ryan Grotjohn booted in a goal from 20 yards out running across the middle of the goalie box after a Tolleson turnover.
Grotjohn's a big part of Brophy's attack, but his night ended early because of an ankle injury, and he's questionable for Saturday's championship match.
A few minutes after a collision led to Tolleson's goalkeeper injury, a sliding save by Brophy goalie Phil Mourikes and a deflection on the rebound wasn't enough. The third rebound found Alexis Coss Y Leon who found the upper part of the net and it was 1-1 with 16 minutes left in regulation, where it stayed until overtime.
"You can't let any team have anything at this point," Brophy coach Marc Kelly said of Tolleson's lost goalkeeper and tying goal. "You can't stop for anything."
The final 20 minutes of regulation, however, was some theatrical soccer to soak in as both teams possessions and chances were crisp, even without any goals.
Lennon had four solid scoring chances in regulation, including a series of blistering shots from long distance which barely missed. But he finally found twine with five minutes left in the first overtime on a rebound shot off a turnover and subsequent throw-in to make it 2-1.
He found himself wide open cruising down Tolleson's end of the field and fired another left-footed rocket to make it 3-1 with five minutes left in the second overtime.
"We have depth off the bench and we can bring in fresh, talented legs in extra sessions that can wear teams down," Kelly said.
The Broncos struggled at times on offense and didn't keep the ball on the ground nearly as much as Kelly wishes. But, similar to Desert Vista in the early semifinal match, a state semifinals victory without a lot of things that impressed coaches, will make for one more tightly-contested, high-quality level of play for one more match.
"Standards have always been high here and that's a lot of pressure, and you have to act on that pressure and come through," Lane said. "These days you have to show up and bring everything you have."

Got a really good deal on $5k worth of Bosch appliances at AJ Madison. Bought the stuff first, then read the reviews online. YIKES! People are trashing aj madison left and right. I was so worried I was gonna cancel the order at first. Then decided, what the hell, let's give it a shot. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. First, they called me and said the dishwasher I ordered wasn't in stock, a better one is in stock, however, so they offered to split the difference in extra cost. I agreed. Order placed. 10 days later, AM Trucking dude calls - we're ready to deliver. Four hour delivery window, they show up within. Two dudes, pleasant. I paid $99 extra to bring the stuff up the steps, no arguments there. Delivered the oven, cooktop, dishwasher and a microwave. I unpack everything, check it all. The dishwasher is bent in the back, not exactly cosmetic. So, I refuse the shipment of the dishwasher. Dude says no problem. 60s later AJ Madison rep calls me. Offers to keep the dishwasher if I accept a 20% refund. I mull it over, decide I want a pristine one anyway. No problem, they haul the item away. New order is automatically placed, I get the email for new order even before the damaged dishwasher left the premises. Ten days later, two guys again, different ones this time, bring the new dishwasher. Unpack, no damages, looks good. I must say the entire experience has been VERY hassle free. I'd buy from them again. |

Thanks for the review, and glad it worked out for you. |
I ordered a gas convection range and hood back in April. I actually ordered just the range online and called in to add the hood. Once I called they added the hood and went right to offering me days to schedule delivery. Delivery was A&M trucking home delivery. They showed up at the end of the time window they gave me. I only paid for standard delivery to the first floor the two guys were friendly but city boy types though. Due to how my old townhouse is set up they could not keep the range carton on the Dollie it had to be lifted on the porch and hand carried in. Well the one guy said he couldn't lift it due to hurting his back so I had to step in and do it with the other. Other than that it was a good experience and nothing was damaged |

logastellus, where do you live? I'm in Austin, TX & considering ordering from them. I've been talking to an Albert there & he's been pretty good so far. I'm still not 100% sure I want to go w/ them, but am seriously considering. Would like to hear from someone that has had delivery in TX, if at all possible. May start my own thread to see if I can get anyone to respond if they don't on this one. Thanks much. |

I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has used Precision Stoneworks or La Piedra as their granite fabricator. When we remodeled our kitchen, we used Marmi who handled everything. However, their quote for our bathroom came back way over our budget. We found the same stone at AGM in Lawrenceville, but they are only a supplier and do not fabricate or install. We've received two quotes of about the same price from La Piedra and Precision Stoneworks - both almost half the cost of Marmi. I'm just not finding many reviews of either online. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We're in Atlanta and used TopSouth a couple of times. They are also called Granite Direct Warehouse I believe. I thought I had heard of all of them but the two you mention I do not have any knowledge of. What part of ATL are you in north, south, east or west? Frankly, I think they all have their problems. We've used three different ones from all parts of town and all three were more or less a disappointment, it's seems it's now the degree of disappointment you can live with in this brave new world we live in. It would be nice if they sent people out that can communicate with you and just not claim they don't speak English when you have a question. If you call Dal Tile off of Howell Mill on Ellsworth Industrial Road, they will give you some suggestions on who is on their list of acceptable fabricators. Good luck! |
We're in north Gwinnett. We decided today to go with Precision Stoneworks in Buford. I was able to find a few good reviews for them online. We went up and met with them this afternoon and they were able to answer all our questions. I will say that we had good experiences with Marmi for both our kitchen and bar area. I would have no hesitation recommending their service. They had a great selection and I haven't seen our kitchen stone at any other place. We would have used them again except that their price on this particular stone was much higher. |

Chabad of Delaware County
Chabad of Delaware County was established by Rabbi Eli & Rivkie Strasberg in 2004. They are now joined in their work by their energetic, lively and socialable five children, four boys and one girl, ages one through nine.
Chabad reaches out to the thousands of Jews thorughout Delaware County in many different ways. Some of these include:
a) Classes and lessons for children and adults
b) Hebrew school
c) Monthly women's Rosh Chodesh groups
d) Hospital and senior care visitation
e) Bar and Bat Mitzvah lessons
f) Activities and programs for the Jewish holidays
g) Youth activities
h) Shabbat Services
i) Shabbat meals
j) Holiday services and meals (pesach seder, Rosh hashanah dinner etc)
k) Jewish community calendar
l) Counseling
When the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory, began sending Chabad Emissaries throughout the world he insisted that the facilities being established be called Chabad houses, not centers or institutions, regardless of their size and structure. The Rebbe OB"M wanted to establish homes throughout the world that would be there for any Jew no matter where they were standing in their Jewish observance. He wanted every Jew to feel that no matter how far they may have traveled they will always have a place to call home.
Each location is funded individually from its own fundraising campaigns and the charitable donations of individuals.
What we believe
We believe that there are no preconditions to doing a good deed. Good actions transform us and the world around us. A little bit of light dispels a great deal of darkness.
We believe in the Judaism that binds all Jews together, not in the labels, which drive us apart. Differences and disagreements are opportunities for learning and growth, not for disavowal and disinheritance. A Jew is a Jew is a Jew.
We believe that love of our neighbors is what leads to love of G-d. Through seeking and bringing out the best in others, we bring out the best in ourselves, and only then can we truly understand and reciprocate G-d's love for us.

Best Carnitas Denver 2007 - TaquerĂa Patzcuaro
Readers' Choice: Chipotle
With all the high-end Mexican and nouvelle Mexican and fake chain Mexican restaurants coming and going in Denver, it's easy to forget places like Taquer?a Patzcuaro. It's easy to forget how friendly owner Francisco Almanza and the guys who work the floor are, how forgiving they are of our abysmal Spanish, how generous the kitchen can be when it comes to dishing out the pride of the house, giant hunks of par-cooked and fried pork shoulder that pass for carnitas down in Michoac?n. But this forgetfulness is a shame, because Taquer?a Patzcuaro is a place just built for eating a couple pounds of fried pig with guacamole, drinking buckets of margaritas and cold Tecates while watching a couple of Latino middleweights pummel the crap out of each other on the big TV on the back wall.

Police left with no leads after potential abduction attempt
Thursday afternoon, the Gilbert Police Department received a call about an attempted child abduction.
The incident took place at an apartment complex on the 2000 block of W. San Angelo, where a masked person attempted to grab the arm of a young child while a group of children were outside playing.
Police haven't ruled whether or not an actual attempt took place, as the only description of the suspicious person came from the children involved. They told police the person was wearing a black shirt, a black mask and red pants.
The police have no leads and no other witnesses have yet to identify any suspects who might fit the description.
If anyone has any information regarding the incident, they can reach the Gilbert Police Department at (480)-503-6500.

Chocolate-Filled Meringue Sandwich Cookies Recipe Coockery show
In a large mixing bowl, place 3 egg whites, ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract, and a dash of salt. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continually beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spoon the mixture into a zip-lock plastic bag. Snip one bottom corner of the bag to make a hole that is 1-inch across. Pipe mixture into 1 ¼-inch mounds onto a parchment paper-lined baking pan. Bake at 200 degrees (F) for 2 hours. Remove from oven and cool completely (about 30 minutes). When meringue mounds are cooled completely, place 4 ounces of milk chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Bring the water below to a boil and stir chocolate constantly until melted. Turn off heat. Spread a thin layer of melted milk chocolate onto half of the flat sides of the meringue mounds. Gently press flat sides of remaining half of meringue rounds onto chocolate-covered side of meringue mounds. Let stand until chocolate is set (about an hour). Place Chocolate-Filled Meringue Sandwich Cookies on a nice serving tray. These are a great treat for a party. With the Playoffs and Super Bowl games coming up, this is a sweet treat that you might like to serve. It is quick, easy, and impressive. It is wonderful for any get-together or just for a comfort snack at home. Enjoy!!!

In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
The dreidel game is a popular Hanukkah activity, but an altered version can also be a fun way to explore the power of giving half. Follow the usual instructions, but when the letter hay comes up, rather than taking half of the tokens in the pot, the player contributes half of the tokens they have accumulated to another player of their choice. When the game is done, talk about how it felt to be giving items away, rather than taking them. How did the players choose the recipient who would get half their tokens? Do they think the game would work better in the traditional way, in which players take half of the pot when the hay comes up, or is it better this way? You may wish to give participants the option to try both versions.
Be ready to help children spin the dreidel.

The Organic Food Incubator in Long Island City creates a space for people's ideas to bake, ferment and harden in a quite literal way.
About two years ago Bad Ass Organics, which produces 17 items from kombucha to raw slaws, hot sauces and energy shots, began looking for a new spot to locate its Hell Kitchen-based business.
Co-founder Mike Schwartz and partners set out looking in most of the boroughs for a 3,000-square-foot-space.
"But we didn't find it, because it doesn't exist," Schwartz said.
Instead they found the 12,000-square-foot industrial warehouse at 23-23 Borden Ave.
"The small food manufacturing community is small and you meet people," he said.
And those people they met needed a certified commercial kitchen to bake their gluten-free breads, set their sorbets and ice creams and create their turmeric drinks. So BAO set to work turning its giant cement room into 11 200-square-feet kitchens and one communal kitchen, since the growing organic food company only needed about 300 of those square feet for its own endeavors.
Companies such as Alchemy Creamery, Da Rosario Organics, Turmeric Alive and Kombrewcha moved in and helped create the conglomerate of food manufacturers — and pay the rent.
"We're packed full," Schwartz said. Not only has the incubator taken off but BAO grew from two employees in Manhattan to seven. And the incubator provides far more.
"We grew from two employees to 50. They aren't all with Bad Ass Organics, but we helped to grow this," Schwartz said. "I'm pretty proud. Fifty jobs in this city is nothing, but it's still 50 jobs."
BAO has expanded into the contract manufacturing business as well, which means it bottles, labels or creates from a recipe products for other groups.
Some companies choose to hire someone else to package their product for a variety of reasons. Some would like to stick to the creative process, while others would like to skip the lengthy state licensing process that is required to bottle a product themselves. BAO has that certification and therefore can legally bottle, box and wrap items.
Schwartz recently acquired a commercial space upstairs from the incubator where he is in the process of constructing 11 more kitchens, four of which are already rented. He also invested in a bottler — a machine that can fill 2,000 bottles in an hour.
"It will help grow our business," Schwartz said. "It even bottles carbonated drinks, which is hard."
BAO co-packs for about seven companies.
Brooklynite Ariel Glazer founded Kombrewcha to brew an alcholic kombucha, which is a fermented tea, about a year ago at the incubator.
It takes about two months for a new flavor of Kombrewcha to go from idea to bottle.
BAO bottles the beverage and then the liquid is moved to another location to be created into an alcholic beverage.
In the last month Glazer hired a full-time sales associate, growing his business 100 percent, in the hopes of getting the boozy tea on the shelves.
"We're going to hopefully start selling soon," Glazer said.
BAO also collaborates with organizations such as the Doe Fund, the Osborne Association and Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow — nonprofits that help at-risk youth, the homeless or individuals recently released from prison — to fill job openings.
The businesses at Organic Food Incubator are not all organic, though BAO can help them obtain their organic certifications, Schwartz said, but they can't produce "any garbage."
"No high-fructose corn syrup, no GMOs, no garbage here," he added, referring in part to genetically modified organisms.
Each of the 11 kitchens costs about $1,900 for a monthly rental or some companies such as Cocktail Crate rent time in the communal kitchen on a when-they-need-it basis.
"I haven't grown to the point that I have hired anyone, but the incubator has been instumental to me because I started really small," Cocktail Crate co-founder Alexander Abbott Boyd said. "They have a hot fill machine, a label machine, a steam kettle — I couldn't afford any of that."
Abbott Boyd rents the kitchen a few hours a week to create his bottle of cocktail mixers, which he sells in speciality stores around the city and at Smorgasburg, an outdoor weekend market in Brooklyn.
Beyond the equipment needed for his business the incubator also provides a beneficial network of like-minded entrepreneurs.
"There are great benefits from just being in the space," Abbott Boyd said. "I have been able to connect with people who are running similar beverage companies but three years out."
Within the next year Abbott Boyd hopes to rent a kitchen full time and perhaps even hire an employee.

text: you asked... Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? I'm going to have prenatal diagnostic testing, but I'm not sure which kind. How do I decide between CVS and amnio? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm going to have prenatal diagnostic testing, but I'm not sure which kind. How do I decide between CVS and amnio? Both have benefits. CVS is done earlier, which means (hopefully) putting your worries to rest sooner, or alternatively, an earlier termination or more time to plan and prepare for your child's condition. CVS results also come back quicker than amnio's. It may be difficult to find an experienced provider to do the test, though, because fewer doctors perform CVS than amnio. But, if you're at particular risk for neural tube defects, amnio is the clear choice -- CVS won't detect these. Amnio also allows you to postpone making your decision (to test, or not to test) until after you've seen the results of your second trimester screenings. American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. Your pregnancy and birth. 4th ed. Washington, DC: ACOG; 2005. Paula Kashtan Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? A new procedure can dramatically lessen the risk involved in invasive types of prenatal testing. There are some techniques of collecting sampling material that carry a risk when testing for genetic irregularities of a gestating fetus. Little risk if any is posed to mom or child in a new technique that is hyper accurate. Millions of moms would take out a huge short term installment loan to be able to cut these risks, and now they won't have to. AllanD | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? My OB won't (or prefers not to) do either... he said its not worth the potential risks. He does offer nuchal translucency test. It is more common for women 35yrs & older, but he makes it available to all his patients. Its generally performed @11-14wks. jessicajstrey | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis?

I am having the CVS testing done, but its taking forever to get me in and then to have to wait 2 weeks to get the test results is very testing of my patients. MeghanM09 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? Had an amino on Thursday risk for ds was 1 in 167 and risk for spina bifida was 1 in 71. Was terrified but went to a very experienced doctor which can lower your risks for miscarriage. Received preliminary results and happy to say everything is fine. HNN | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? I had both. It really depends on the timing and what you exactly want to find out. a CVS can be done at 12 weeks where an Amnio is done approx at 16 weeks. I had a high risk of DS and so I had the CVS. The CVS then found a chromosomal mosiacism so I had to wait to have an amnio - they tell me the baby is absolutely fine and the chromosome issue was confined to my placenta only. That is a risk you run w/ at CVS... they find things sometimes in the placenta that are not truly representative of what the baby's make up is. But both rule our DS for sure and can tell you the sex of the baby with certainty. Jennifer Gallo | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? Not planning on getting either. Going to a certified nurse midwife and I don't think she does them, but if she did I wouldn't plan on getting them done. Sounds like a lot of stress and possibly endangering little one to find out if there's a chance of something going wrong so that I spend more time worrying. As if we preggos need anything else to worry about! Pinkrumor | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? My husband is really freaking out about there being something wrong with the baby, so I am planning on having the CVS done for his piece of mind more than anything. hystia11 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? There's a NEW test, called Harmony, it uses cell free DNA from your blood, which means its just a blood test so no risk for miscarriage. They just came out with it this year and I used it. Ask your dr or genetic counselor about it. http://www.ariosadx.com/ 9fraulein | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? I was told my baby had a 1 in 14 chance of having Downs... so i had am Amnio done...the doctor said their was a 1 in 400 chance of miscarriage...procedure went well, however the hole did not heal correctly, its now 3 weeks later and i am leaking fluid still... i now have to go for a weekly fluid check, to see how the baby is progressing. my test came back the next day and i was told my baby is perfectly healthy...but i dont recommend either test!!! babypieracci | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? While there's Wholesale Snapback Hats an outside chance Tebow MLB Snapback Hats could remain a New NFL Snapback Hats Yorker, depending on the whims NBA Snapback Hats of the still-to-be-hired Obey Snapback Hats GM, it appears highly Ymcmb Snapback unlikely. atyu2020 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? i did the amnio i wish i never did it. the specialists who preformed it told me if anything is wrong with the baby he will be the one who will help during the pregnancy and so on well the tests came back my baby was diagnosed with trisomy 13 and the doctor and genentics counselor wanted me to have an abortion and i couldnt do it.so the doctor wont help my regular doctor had to turn me away and now im fighting to find someone to help me. this happened in january 2013 im now 29 weeks and no one has helped or my baby hasnt been monitored since. i wouldnt recommend either one to anyone after my experience! jenniferpardo1 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? My husband and I found out we were pregnant and that was one of the first questions that came to mind. I am 40 yrs old and of course chances of Down's and other abnormalities go up tremendously. When I visited my OB/GYN I was only given an option of CVS or amniocentesis, but thankfully, a wonderful ex-co-worker who is 13 1/2 weeks and 39 yrs old informed me of new testing which can be done now by a simple blood draw. There are actually three tests, but the Panorama test is the one in which I am pursuing. There accuracy is >99% and it is completed by a simple blood draw. The DNA from your fetus will circulate and mix with mom's blood so the genetic abnormalities can by detected via the blood sampling. In addition, nuchal translucency or nuchal fold scan is also measured at 3 mos. If any doubts after that, then an amnio may be warranted. I have to say my heart skipped a beat as I was so relieved to know that I would not necessarilly have to go thru CVS or amniocentesis. I felt as though my chances for miscarriage were high enough as it was without any other risk factors being introduced. I hope this helps and best of luck in whatever you and your doctor decide. mommyelijah | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? We live in the metro NYC area and I have had 2 CVS's. I was 35 when our first was born and am pregnant now. My hubby and I both felt that it was advantage to rule out the most common genetic issues as early at 10-13 weeks. It helped put our mind at rest and enjoy the remainder of the pregnancy. I definitely recommend that you only go to a an experienced practitioner or opt for other tests if you can't locate one in your area. jdklein | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? I had neither test done which does not mean that I do not worry constantly about if my child will has DS or any other chromosomal abnormalities but that's when you have to ask yourself is it really worth the risk? Either way I would have beat myself up about the situation so I guess I will know soon enough. All I can do is pray for a healthy boy <3 TopFlight07 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? My understanding is that the Panorama and other Fetal DNA testing that currently exists is so new that the accuracy claims are not yet substantiated by research. If anyone has links to published papers that show accuracy of Panorama or other fetal DNA blood tests, I'd love to hear more about those resources. Kirstin123 | Q&A: CVS vs. amniocentesis? Hi, new here and 14w6d along... Tested for ds and the others, and everything else came back very well, except for the ds which i have 1 in 260 or so chance of having ds with the baby. I am really stressed out and panicky and it's taking a huge toll... My husband is very worried too because of my stress level, and we just saw our Genetic Counselor today and scheduled a CVS for Friday... Really nervous but just want some definitive answers as to yes or no if ds is going to be an issue. Thoughts????? #extremelynervous aminski | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

*Taken from Prison Planet. Written by Paul Joseph Watson.
An explosion at a French nuclear facility that processes dangerous MOX plutonium has killed one person and injured four others, provoking fear that radioactivity could be escaping into the atmosphere, although officials have played down such concerns.
However, the French government's complicity in hiding the severity of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster will do nothing to assuage concerns about authorities being honest with the public about the scale of the problem.
"There were no radioactive leaks after the blast, caused by a fire near a furnace in the Centraco radioactive waste storage site, officials said,"reports BBC News.

Easy DIY Holiday Cards or Gift Tags
How cute is this idea for a homemade Christmas card from the blog Meet the Dubiens? It's a great easy way to let your kids help make the Christmas cards (or gift tags, if you've already sent your cards out).
Draw the "string" first and then let your little ones add the lights. I'd recommend using a watercolor palette. Add a drop or two of water to each color—just enough to make it a bit sticky, and use that for the thumbprints. The best thing about watercolors is that they are incredibly easy to wash off (both finger and clothing.)
Would you try this DIY? Or do you prefer buying your holiday cards?
