Thank you so much for responding. I have 3 different colored brugmansia, 3 or 4 diff. datura, butterfly weed, foxglove, lavender lady, Korean bee tree, kiss me over the garden gate(never heard of this one before), meadow sweet, and a few others. |

Hmmm, zone 4. I'd start the foxglove and datura now. You may have time for some of the others. When is your last frost date? tj |

Hi there, I checked online and the map zone says May 17th. Hopefully I can start planting them in the next few days. |

Look at the seed packages. They tell you how many weeks until the time to plant outside. Start your seed so it is past the frost free time for your area. You can find the frost free time for your area on line |

I never thought of that! duh? I ordered them from Mississippi and most of them do tell me how long they take to germinate. Thank you folks for all your help. |
In Ontario, you start in March - by May things are warm enough to put into the garden. Brugs though are not hardy in our zones and need to be brought in for winter. So for this reason you can start them earlier so you get a nice size plant by summer. I do not know if they will flower this season. For certain foxgloves won't flower until the following year since they are considered biennials. Lavenders, butterfly weed, meadowsweet, you can begin now. In my yard, they actually grow wild from self sown seeds. next winter, try your hands at wintersowing for these hardy seeds. There's an entire forum on the subject. Out of curiosity, can you tell me which seed supplier did you get your seeds from and did you pay extra for the physto--something certificate? Ianna |

Hi lanna, I ordered my seeds online from firstname.lastname@example.com . I bought $45.60 worth of seeds and paid $10.95 for shipping and packaging(no tax) Unfortunately, I don't know what "physto certificate is, but that was what I paid. They sure have some very interesting seeds to sell. The sad part is they are located in Mississippi so I had to check the proper zones after I received them. I've grown brugs for several years and just can't resist trying different types. Feel free to email anytime. Thanks again. darlene |

Rick, we were only deleting the .pf file not the exe. The .pf file is created as a cache to make all application loads after the first load faster. The .exe is part of the WPF .NET 3.0 framework and needed for many applications and would never suggest the deletion of that file. Hope this clears it up for you.
Our MIS techs seemed to have fixed this issue by updating our machines to latest LANDesk client.
mlabell, thanks for the clarification. That was the file I was looking at as per your first message. I got confused when trying to research the item online and ended up looking at the .exe descriptions.
Thanks again.
I'm not sure this works yet as the problem is a bit random but has anyone tried this?
1) Click START > right click on COMPUTER > PROPERTIES.
2) Click ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS
3) The System Properties dialog box opens and it should be on the ADVANCED tab already. If not, go there and click SETTINGS in the Performance section.
4) Select ADJUST FOR BEST PERFORMANCE and OK your way back out of all the screens.
I can recreate the issue at will and changing the theme as recommeneded does appear to fix the issue for the interim. I havent run for a long enough time to call it good. But there is still something that is completely underlying that theme shouldn't have anything to do with the issue.
This issue is only replicated on a Win 7 x64 computer when connected to an office network. I can completely remove logon scripts, GPO and the issue does not happen. Further, the issue does not happen when you logon to the computer locally without any office network connectivity. Even tried logging into the computer via VPN to the office and the issue never happens.
It appears that disabling theme may band-aid the issue but there is a more underlying root cause with a Microsoft server componenet that is causing the issue to persist.
On of our users tried the "Adjust for best performance" setting and it did not work for him. The only solution so far is to close out of AutoCAD and reopen several times until the test displays.
Has anyone had any additional luck with this one? Or can anyone explain how to reproduce this on demand? We are still having the same issues at randomly. Close-reopen is still our best bet. Thanks.
@ Calvindale. Which version of LANDesk did you upgrade to?
I forgot to mention that we tried updating our video card driver per the suggestion of Autodesk support. We tried one recommended by Autodesk and a newer one that one of our IT guys found. No luck. Also tried uninstalling completely and then installing it again. No luck.
Appears that this issue isn't just an Autodesk issue but more of a Microsoft issue…
I have been working with the Autodesk suppoprt team on this issue and they are now able to reprodcue at will based on windows prefetch file that I gave them. Fingers crossed that something may get resolved soon.

In this article, we will show through clear evidence that it is forbidden (Haram) to attend gatherings that promote Bida'a among Muslims, and those guests who fear Allah should not participate in such events.
The Correct Basis for Unity:
Contrary to the common belief, it is not the intention that counts in all matters pertinent to the actions of a Muslim. It is equally important whether the action adheres to Sunnah and is consistent with the aims of Shari'ah. It is reported by Bukhari, Muslim and others that the Prophet said "Any action that is not (done in accordance to) our actions is rejected (not accepted)". This Hadith, which clearly build the acceptance of any action on its adherence to Sunnah without reference to the intention, is considered by many scholars to equal half of Shari'ah, as it complements the other Hadith which factors in the Intention of the doer.
There are many quarrels about building unity amongst Muslims. But Allah gave us the clear answer in the Quran. He commanded us to unite on the right path, not simply to unite while our hearts are divided. He said:
وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا
"And hold fast, by the Rope which Allah (stretches out for you), all together, and be not divided among yourselves". A'al Imran 103
Allah clearly mentioned the "Rope of Allah" before "all-together" for a purpose. The Rope of Allah has to be carefully observed before the call for unity takes place. Uniting Muslims on the wrong path has never been the way of the Sunnah, the righteously guided Caliphs, the Companions, their predecessor, or the Salaf. We refer the reader to the article about unity, entitled Yes to Unity, No to Bida'a, for further details on this subject.
However what we want to establish here is that any action done by a Muslim must adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet and be consistent with the aims of Shari'ah. The Prophet said "Whoever departs from my Sunnah is not from among my Ummah".
Bida'a destroys Unity of Muslims:
Some times, Du'aat (people of Da'wa) has been deceived into participating in such gatherings. Clearly, they either do not know who their names are being published next to, or they were misled about the purpose of such gatherings.
We have to make sure that no one that calls for Sufism, counterfeit Salafis, or other Bidaa's is an active participant in such gatherings. For more details about counterfeit salafis in our book, and for Sufism please refer to:
- What is Sufism,
- A Reply to a Lecture by a famous Sufi,
- Bida'a, Can it be good?,
- Misguided Sufi Orders & their masters,
- Uncovering those who accept, adopt and promote Sufism,
- Parallels between Sufism and Christianity
The issue here is that promoting individuals of known Bida'as and showing respect to them has dire consequences in the Here-After. Imam Al-Shatibi said in his foremost book on Bida'a, "Al-Ietisam" [1]:
"No Worshiping acts such as prayers, fasting, giving charity, or any other type of good deed is accepted with Bida'a. The person who sits to a stray person of Bida'a is denied the protection of Allah , and is left to fend evil by himself. The person who walks to their gatherings and respects them is a helper in destroying Islam".
Then, he elaborated on this point by saying[2]:
" …Sitting with them reflects respect to them, which is against how we should treat them; Shari'ah commands that we despise, humiliate and other ways to demean them. Hence, Islam is destroyed when people disregard the commands of Islam and do the contrary of them".
Imam Al- Shatibi continued:
"…Walking to the gathering places of such people of Bida'a contributes to destruction of Islam in two additional ways:
It makes the ignorant Muslim think that they hold truth, and hence, follow them instead of Sunnah and leading him/her astray.
Honouring a person of Bida'a gives the impression that it would be acceptable to establish Bida'a in other ways as well."
The Prophet clearly related this meaning in a Hadith related by A'isha (may Allah be pleased with her): "Whoever honours and dignifies a person of Bida'a, effectively he/she is helping in destroying the religion of Islam".[3]
Someone can argue, but those people of Bida'a talk about general subjects and do not promote their Bida'a in these events? So what is the harm in listening to them?
The answer is:
Imam Al-Shatibi established that attending their gatherings is a sign of honour and respect to them, which the Prophet forbade us from doing.
Of course, the people of Bida'a do not promote their Bida'a (for the most part) in these events, because their purpose to gain acceptance among the masses. Then they can spread their Bida'a at their own time and pace when ignorant Muslims attend their private classes.
It is inevitable that they will reek of the stench of Bida'a!! It is like body-odour or a bad-itch, it cannot be held completely in check. They have to say something that is against the Sunnah of the Prophet .
No one, including Shaytan (Satan), speaks of falsehood all the time. Allah has said:
"وزين لهم الشيطان ما كانوا يعملون" الأنعام 43
"...and Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them". Al-A'anam 43.
This was repeated 4 times in Quran to establish the fact that stray people, including Satan, do not introduce falsehood and misguidance without wrapping them in a manner that is acceptable to people. Such speeches surely contain points of the truth, but only to be a cover of the poison that is injected into it.
People attend these events to learn (for the most part). The majority have little or no education in Shari'ah to distinguish right from wrong. So how exactly will they be able to distinguish when one of these speakers promotes their Bida'a? If they are able to distinguish, they would not be there in the first place!
What is the content of these gatherings?
Do people really gain genuine knowledge at these events? Or is it simply a gathering, like a concert, that people attend, feel good about and then go home feeling good about themselves. Is this true revival of the Ummah?
The vast majority admit that they do not learn very much at these events. The topics are very general and details are rare. Because of the huge number of people who attend these events (10,000 last year) and their varying ages, levels of education and background, the topics have to be very generic and general in order to serve everyone's need.
It has really become a big event to socialize and meet people that one hasn't seen in months or years. The problem is that all of them are lead to believe that they are being obedient to Allah in attending this events and they are mislead into believing that this will bring about change to our Ummah; not to mention that they are being polluted by Bida'a directly or indirectly. In fact, many people attend simply due to peer-pressure. They feel like they would be ostracized and scrutinized if they opt not to attend.
This is in addition to the many mistakes that occur in such events in particular. The most prevalent besides what we mentioned previously is the lack of adherence to Islamic etiquettes and mannerisms. The promoters often hold the opinion that "the ends justify the means". So they are willing to break many rules or allow much bad behaviour to go unchecked in order to attract the youth. They fail to realize the implication that people come to believe that this behaviour is acceptable. Mixing between men and women, clapping and yelling, screaming young girls who want to "touch" or get the autograph of speakers, or take a picture with others are all but some of the behaviours that are allowed. This is all allowed in the spirit of "at least they are Muslim idols", it sure is better than them screaming after Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. These are now "Halal" Pop-stars. The emphasis is no longer on Iman, knowledge and learning.
Is this an environment that an adherent Muslim wants to find himself or his family in?
What are the consequences of such events?
One of major Principles of Jurisprudence that is a critical principle in the methodology of Ahlul Sunnah is "Looking into the Intentions and Considering the Consequences" (النظر في المقاصد و اعتبار المآلات). When we examine the consequences of these events, we realize that there are sever consequences that cannot be ignored and must be considered by every Muslim before he/she attends such events.
The majority of the "good speakers" have little or no formal education in Shariah. Although, they are at best Da'eis (people of Da'wa), they are presented as "Scholars"!! Contrary to popular belief, many of them are not scholars by any stretch of the imagination (we purposely didn't mention those people who adopt a certain Bida'a because they of course can not be considered scholars of Sunnah). The titles "Shiekh" and "Iman" are shamefully used so loosely with these individuals.
Common Muslims come to accept them among the ranks of scholars. This is a disaster because common Muslims take their personal opinions as Fatwas, which they use in their daily life without resorting to true scholars for genuine knowledge. Not only that, but there are those who come to only accept Fatwas from these speakers claiming that they have the best understanding of our reality in the West and hence have the most accurate Fatwas to reflect this reality.
Moreover, these events developed its reputation by inviting certain well-known guests and getting their endorsements (such as those mentioned earlier). However, the equation has been turned around: now people think that whoever speaks at such events must be a well-known "Scholar"!! This fact is only deepened by making the event more-and-more grand: such as hosting it in major locations.
One very subtle consequence that many fail to realize is: Where will the common well-intentioned Muslim turn to after the gathering to get more knowledge of Islam? Many of those good speakers (who follow Sunnah) or at least not entrenched in Bida'a) come from overseas:
They speak and leave. The common Muslim will turn to the locals of North America for more knowledge. Those are the Bida'a promoters who are waiting with open arms to take people away from the path of Sunnah. So in essence, these event helps to increase the People of Bida'a and decrease the people of Sunnah, which only leads to revival of Bida'a not the Sunnah.
What is the "alternative"?
So what is the alternative? Many would, and rightfully so, criticize us if we do not offer a viable alternative.
Our Ummah needs a revival of "Body" and "Spirit". Our Muslim brothers and sisters are dying in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Chechnya and other parts of the World. The puppet systems that are in power in the Islamic World are collaborating with those who attack Islam to keep the Ummah under oppression. Our Ummah is facing a new crusade and only true revival (not superficial), with God's Will, will protect us and our children against this attack.
We must turn to the Sunnah of the Prophet , the righteously-guided Caliphs, and their successors who followed in their steps. The Prophet said: "I left with two things that if you hold firm to, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah and my Sunnah". And he said in another Hadith "… follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the righteously-guided Caliphs after me. Hold firmly to it and bite on it with your teeth (meaning to be steadfast on it). And be aware of the newly-invented matters [in religion], because every newly-invented matter is a Bida'a and every Bida'a is a misguidance."
This is the path to success and the path to true revival and unity of our Ummah. Muslims should learn about the Sunnah of the Prophet and about their Deen and not be superficial in seeking quick-fixes and "band-aid" solutions that covers the true reasons for the weakness of the Ummah. True revival is a long process that needs a sincere intention, effort and sacrifice. Genuine Muslims should not feel lonely on this long road because they have the Prophet , his companions and the well-established scholars of our Ummah on their side. Do not be fooled by the thousands that follow every new fad.
In conclusion, based on the above evidence and in response to those who asked us about the permissibility of attending such events: the Fatwa in attending such gatherings is that it is "prohibited" (Haram). these are the events of "Dirar", which is similar to "Masajid Al-Dirar" (Mosques of Mischief) that Allah mentioned in Al-Tawba 107
وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِمَنْ حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ
"And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity, to disunite the Believers, and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; but Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars"
Muslims have to understand the danger of such practices and avoid those who organize and promote such events to spread Bida'a, even if they swear that they only mean good.
Please read our reply to the many responses, both positive and negative, regarding this Fatwa.

[2] " فاعلموا أن البدعة لا يقبل معها عبادة من صلاة و لا صيام و لا صدقة و لا غيرها من القربات . و مجالس صاحبها تنزع منه العصمة و يوكل إلى نفسه ، والماشي إليه و موقره معين على هدم الإسلام ، فما الظن بصاحبها وهو ملعون على لسان الشريعة ، ويزداد من اللّه بعبادته بعداً ؟! و هي مظنة إلقاء العداوة و البغضاء ، و مانعة من الشفاعة المحمدية ، ورافعة للسنن التي تقابلها ، و على مبتدعها إثم من عمل بها ، و ليس له من توبة ، و تلقى عليه الذلة و الغضب من اللّه ، و يبعد عن حوض رسول اللّه ، و يخاف عليه أن يكون معدوداً في الكفار الخارجين عن اللّه ، و سوء الخاتمة عند الخروج من الدنيا ، و يسودُ وجهه في الآخرة يعذب بنار جهنم ، و قد تبرأ منه رسول اللّه ، و تبرأ منه المسلمون ، و يخـاف عليه الفتنة في الدنيا زيادة إلى عــذاب الآخـرة ".
[3] وأما أن الماشي إليه والموقِّر له معين على هدم الإسلام : (سبحان الله!! هذا هو حضور مؤتمراتهم!!!)
فلقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام : ( من أحدث حدثاً أو آوى محدثاً فعليه لعنة اللّه والملائكة والناس أجمعين ) الحديث . فإن الإيواء بجامع التوقير ، ووجه ذلك ظاهر لأن المشي إليه (انظر كيف جعل المشي الى المبتدع ضلالة ، وافهم ! إذ إذ ذلك هو حضور مؤتمراتهم !!) والتوقير له تعظيم له لأجل بدعته والشرع يأمر بزجره وإهانته وإذلاله بما هو أشد من هذا، كالضرب والقتل ، فصار توقيره صدوداً عن العمل بشرع الإسلام ، وإقبالاً على ما يضاده وينافيه ، والإسلام لا ينهدم إلا بترك العمل به والعمل بما ينافيه .
وأيضاً فإن توقير صاحب البدعة مظنة لمفسدتين تعودان على الإسلام بالهدم :
إحداهما: التفات الجهال والعامة إلى ذلك التوقير ، فيعتقدون في المبتدع أنه أفضل الناس ، وأن ما هو عليه خير مما عليه غيره ، فيؤدي ذلك إلى اتباعه على بدعته دون اتباع أهل السنة على سنتهم . (سبحان الله ! أليس هذا التوقير هو المشي إلى مؤتمراتهم وحضورها ؟؟!!)
والثانية : أنه إذا وُقِّرَ من أجل بدعته صار ذلك كالحادي المحرض له على إنشاء الابتداع في كل شيءٍ .
فتحيا البدع وتموت السنن ، وهو هدم الإسلام بعينه، وعلى ذلك دلَّ النقل عن السلف زيادة إلى صحة الاعتبار ، لأن الباطل إذا عمل به لزم ترك العمل بالحق كما في العكس ، لأن المحل الواحد لا يشتغل إلا بأحد الضدين .

Whats the difference between Pending and Pending Continue to Show, what do the different colors mean.
Some of the properties that offers have been made on will show as Pending, some will say Pending Continue to Show. There are also different colors, what do the colors mean?

Viewed: 12241   Category: Home Buying
When a property has a contract that is beyond the Option Period, the Seller and Listing Broker decide if they want to continue showing the home to encourage back-up offers, if they do, the status becomes Pending Continue to Show. When the status shows Pending, the Seller has decided they do not want to coninue showing their home. I almost always use the status Pending Continue to Show as it is usually in my Sellers' best interest to encourage back-up offers.
Green is Active, Orange is Option Pending, yellow is Pending Continue to Show, and Red is Pending.

Med School Admissions Statistics, Part III: What's the Average GPA? (And What Can I Do About It?)
Over the past two weeks, we've been taking a look at some of the medical school admissions statistics. While we've tackled the question of how many people get into medical school and the average MCAT score, we turn our attention today to the average GPA.
Remember, AAMC keeps this information public through their FACTS tables. In addition to what we've covered here, check out what other great information you can glean from these resources. In the world of medical school admissions, knowledge is power! (credit: Schoolhouse Rock!)

Sorry, but I'll drink anything but Chardonnay.

Hmmm, that's a might light colored "Cab".
And here's the blog for the previous offering from Mar 31, 2008 with it's accompanying for discussions and labrat reports in which different wines from them were offered.
*vomits* I had a little too much wine last night ... no more ... not yet.
Seems someone updated everything except the blurb, now that Stomp! is no longer available.
Wait, where did this second wine.woot-off come from? There's a Spanish Inquisition joke in here somewhere...
Wow, weird wine writeup.
Seems they are very particular about the sourcing of their oak, "from the very land that Corey grew up on in Marathon, WI"
Hmm, was trying not to buy anymore wine this month... Anyone have any info on if this stuff is any good?
Just had the Stomp Cab last night from the first offering of Dusted Valley. Talk about a mouth full of oak chips. The Boomtown was okay with decent fruit, but a little tannic as I remember. I labratted the Syrah and thought it was good, but very tight. I'm hoping it will open with some cellaring, but considering the other two bottles, I'm a bit less optimistic about its potential now. Have not tried the Chardonnay. edit: The Boomtown I had was the Merlot, have not tried the Boomtown Cab.
My cage mates here at work just sent my sig other back to have an intervention with me...about the wine buying...shshhh..damn you wine woot off!. I wub you.

I'm amused that the sale condition isn't new sealed, but red - white.
First that now this?
Must be lunch time.
How good is this deal? A couple of the wines in this offer are not currently available on the order from on Dusted Valley website, so prices are based on the current release of the matching wine. In all appearances, this is quite a discount based on retail prices from the winery. And that's before shipping! Click the link above for discount details, CT links, CT prices, etc. You know, all the usual stuff.
thats exactly what i need after the woot-off drinking game that was held last night.... maybe it will help my hangover..
Wow when did AZ get added to the list of places wine can be shipped. Last time I looked we weren't on there. I'm not really a fan of wine but I wanted to that mead and some desert a while back.

They're put up during the woot offs - essentially mean the deal is a limited time offer. May be 10 minutes, may be an hour, but they're only for sale until they sell out.

noun \ˈga-lē\: the kitchen of a ship or airplane
: a long, low ship that was moved by oars and sails and that was used in ancient times by the Egyptians, Greeks, and others
Full Definition of GALLEY
Origin of GALLEY
Other Printing Terms
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Large seagoing vessel propelled primarily by oars. The Egyptians, Cretans, and other ancient peoples used sail-equipped galleys for war and commerce. The Phoenicians apparently introduced the bireme (c. 700 BC), which had two banks of oars staggered on either side. The Greeks first built the trireme c. 500 BC. War galleys would cruise in columns and would engage the enemy as a line abreast. A galley would close with the enemy at the bow, which was equipped with a ram, grappling irons, and missile-hurling devices. Invention of the lateen (fore-and-aft) sail and the stern rudder rendered the galley obsolete for commerce, but its greater maneuverability maintained its military importance into the 16th century.

Sauced: Mole Verde
I was never much a fan of mole poblano, but spending two days making this incredibly complex earthy sauce changed my perspective. Still, it's not my preferred mole—I'm much more into the brighter, fresher flavor of mole verde (plus there's the added bonus that it takes only an hour or so, and not days, to put together).
I started my mole verde off by roasting and grinding pepitas—green pumpkin seeds. These were then pureed with tomatillos, chicken stock, onion, jalapeños, cilantro, epazote, romaine, and garlic to form the bright green sauce.
While I tend to default to Rick Bayless as my guide to Mexican sauces, I took a shot at developing a recipe for mole verde myself—but I did borrow his procedure of cooking down the sauce into a thick paste. This is always a messy prospect, as the bubbling sauce splatters across the kitchen the second you stop stirring, but the added intensity of flavor this step creates is well worth it. Once reduced into a semi-thick paste, more chicken stock was added to bring the sauce to its final silky state.
This mole verde breathed new life into rather flavorless poached chicken. The cilantro defined the fresh flavor, while the pepitas added a little nuttiness, the tomatillos a bit of tartness, and the jalapeños a slight heat. It retained the complexity you might think of when you hear the word "mole," but in an almost completely opposite flavor profile—one that I find more attractive.

St. Anthonys West Central Iowa Area Health Education Center (WCI AHEC) Receives Funding Tuesday, 11 October 2011 Currently WCI AHEC serves 14 counties in western Iowa (Carroll, Calhoun, Audubon, Shelby, Harrison, Monona, Ida, Sac, Buena Vista, Pocahontas, Cherokee, Woodbury, and Plymouth); however, receipt of the new grant designates a 17 county service area. The mission of WCI AHEC is to establish community and academic partnership to enhance access to quality health care, particularly primary and preventive care, by improving the supply and distribution of healthcare professionals. Since July 2009, the WCI AHEC program has provided healthcare recruitment education opportunities to 33 K-12 community school districts in 11 community hospitals and three community colleges. Recruitment activities involve students in hands-on activities in the hospital or simulation settings so that students get a real experience of healthcare careers. The WCI AHEC coordinates with Des Moines University, University of Iowa, UNMC, Briar Cliff University, Creighton University, and other colleges; placing future doctors in rural areas to complete required clinical rotations. Many of the students are from western Iowa and have discovered that returning to work in a rural area has many benefits. "The premise of the program is to grow our own healthcare providers for rural Iowa," Sharon Meyers, WCI AHEC Executive Director. The staff at WCI AHEC strives to give students the chance to do clinical rotations in rural Iowa with the intention that they will return to practice in our communities when they have finished their program and residency. Since its inception in 2007, the Iowa AHEC Program has provided programs and activities to more than 8,500 students. For more information about the Iowa AHEC Program, visit www.iowaahec.org. |

I have been dating my current boyfriend for about a year now. Everything seems like it couldn't get better - I just feel that I might have a jealousy problem / fear of what the future holds in concern with his 1 ˝ yr old daughter. He talks to the mom for the mere purpose of being civil with one another. He had to fight for visitation rights and paternity test (she didn't want him to be a part of her life). He works long hours and is only able to see her one a weekend. There are multiple issues that concern me and would love any feedback - I am new to all of this:
The reason why he only has her once a weekend (for 8 hrs), is bc she wont sleep in a crib. The mom is severe bi-polar, doesn't work, and has never even attempted to put her in a crib. We have tried and it is honestly impossible, and the mom refuses to change anything. On that same page, when we do have her on the weekend she usually will fall asleep with him, but within that time I literally feel as if I cant move in fear of making noise and waking her up. I can understand that this is not his fault, as it is probably a result of the moms parenting, but at a 1 ˝ I feel like something needs to change sometime. I basically feel like im walking on eggshells for the 8 hour period that we have her. Another concern that I believe someone else posted, which I guess I really didn't even think about, is the fact that I did want my first born to be my husbands as well. Its hard to digest that he basically already has a family. I am supportive of him and his daughter, but it has been about 8 months since I have started seeing her and she is still not used to me (boyfriend will leave the room for 5 min and she will throw a fit). I feel like I am not in the position to give my advice. It is just very hard for me to see them together - I cant help but wonder if I will ever have kids with him. We always say that we will once we are financially stable (I am a recent college grad going back to get my masters and he works for a trucking company and is paying a lot of money in child support and heath insurance for his daughter) but I wonder to myself, will we ever be if he continues to have to pay an arm and leg. I would love any feed back that you might have. |

Of course she's going to throw a fit if her father is out of the room; she's an 18-month-old baby. Babies don't realize that if you leave the room, you're just out of the room; & babies' memories are short; In fact, it'll get worse before it gets better; If 8 hours a week-end makes you unhappy, The 8 hours a week-end will increase, Another thing to think about is that, should her mother's condition deteriorate, the little one may come to live with her dad. I wish you the best. |
"The mom is severe bi-polar, doesn't work, and has never even attempted to put her in a crib." Do you want to try to co-parent with a woman who is severely mentally ill? If she really is bi-polar, that's serious business. If she's merely a drama-queen, that's bad enough... (Ever had a toxic person in your life?) Do you want to help raise a child whose primary parent doesn't have a job and will therefore push for every penny of child support she can get? A parent who is likely to not have health insurance? To be able to pay for day care, school activities and other extras? To never be able to afford a nice place in a good neighborhood with good schools and nice kids? (Sure, it might not turn out that way -- but what do you think?) Do you want to be the stepmother of a child whose mother doesn't want the father to have any meaningful role in his daughter's life? And just how meaningful a role do you think BioMom wants you to have? And how far do you think she will go to keep your role minimal? Do you really want to spend your life dealing with the behavior problems stemming from a child raised by a mother with questionable judgement? I know it's too soon to tell for sure, but what do you think? I haven't bothered to look for proof, but I suspect most bad parents raise difficult children. I'm sure you've heard all of the lines about how when you sleep with someone, you are also exposing yourself to everyone he/she has ever been with. Well, marrying a man with a child is like that. I imagine you've made the connection that the man and his daughter are a 'package deal'. Please also realize that this package deal also comes bundled with a crazy BioMom -- you get her too. Is this really the best you can do for your future? |

I am having a similar problem. I too feel like I walk on eggshells when my partners son is around. He is 5. The world stops when he enters the house. They play from the time he comes in till he goes to bed at whatever time. And most of the time my partner sleeps in the bed with him. Its getting really old. Plus there is constant communication with the ex, which I feel is really excessive. They talk and text all the time. I recently found the phone records and couldnt believe my eyes. Plus he believes the sone can do no wrong. Of course any parent I guess thinks that. He continues to get in trouble in school. Its hard....good luck |

Tribe Splits Double-Header; Rainy Days Elsewhere
The Indians won game one of today's double header.
All the rain that was in Central Indiana yesterday moved east today.
The Altoona Curve hosting the Akron Aeros were rained out today. That game will be made up on Saturday May 21st.
The West Virginia Power hosting the Greensboro Grasshoppers were also rained out. No make-up date has been announced yet.
The Bradenton Marauders had a scheduled day off today. They are going to play their next two "home" games against the St. Lucie Mets in Port Charlotte (Charlotte Sports Park), on Wednesday and Thursday, due to roof repairs at McKechnie Field.
Indianapolis Indians 5, Durham Bulls 2
The Indianapolis Indians and the Durham Bulls split today's double-header at Victory Field. The first game began at 11 am, with buses full of school kids present, under dark and dreary skies. As the first game wrapped up, the sun came out, and by the middle of the second game, there were sunny skies and happy clouds.
LF Alex Presley (photo) began the game on a sunny note for the Indians. With two outs in the bottom of the 1st, Presley blasted a solo home run over the right field wall at the 362′ mark, into a group of lucky school kids.
Starter Brad Lincoln buzzed through the first two innings, allowing only one hit and striking out 2 batters. With one out in the top of the 3rd, Lincoln ran the count full then walked Bulls' SS Ray Olmedo. CF Desmond Jennings slipped a ground ball through the right side of the infield for a single, moving Olmedo to second base. RF Justin Ruggiano crushed a long ball off the top of the wall in the deepest part of the park, just inches from being a home run. The ball ricocheted off the wall, driving in both Olmedo and Jennings, as Ruggiano slid safely into third base. The Bulls had taken the lead, 2-1.
The Tribe answered right away with 2 runs in the bottom of the frame. 2B Brian Friday led off with a bloop single into short left field. CF Gorkys Hernandez bunted Friday to second base, and DH Corey Wimberly followed by dropping another bloopy hit into the space behind third base, out of the reach of any of the Bulls. Friday scrambled around to score from second base, tying the score. Wimberly promptly stole second base. After a pop out, Presley grounded through the left side of the infield, sending Wimberly around to score. The throw in from left field was not in time to get the speedy Wimberly at the plate, but Bulls' C Robinson Chirinos alertly threw down to first base, where he caught Presley in the middle of nowhere — too far from first to get back before the throw, and too far from second base to get there either. Presley was out in the run-down (photo), ending the inning.
Tribe Trounced Again
3B Brian Friday and 2B Chase d'Arnaud
Durham Bulls 12, Indianapolis Indians 3
For the second night in a row, the Indianapolis Indians struggled both at the plate and in the field, as they fell to the Durham Bulls in the first game of a 4-game series at Victory Field. The Bulls posted 19 hits for 12 runs, in a game that seemed similar to last night's game against the Norfolk Tides. They scored in all but three innings (same as the Tides last night), and had runners on base in every inning (as did the Tides). In addition, the Bulls put the first runner on base in each of the first five innings, and in seven of nine innings.
Sean Gallagher (photo) made the start tonight, and like yesterday, he had two batters reach base against him in the top of the 1st inning. Gallagher hit the first batter, CF Desmond Jennings, with a pitch. Jennings stole second base on the first pitch to LF Justin Ruggiano. Then Ruggiano lined into left field, and Jennings came around to score. An alert play by Tribe LF Alex Presley had the ball back in to the infield and to second base quickly, and Ruggiano was tagged out at second base by 2B Chase d'Arnaud.
3B Russ Canzler began the 2nd inning with a looping single into right field, but after a pop up, Canzler was erased in a strike-out-throw-out double play. Former Indy Indian 2B JJ Furmaniak led off the 3rd inning with a double into the right-center field alley, and after a sacrifice bunt, a sacrifice fly by Jennings brought Furmaniak in to score, giving the Bulls a 2-0 lead.
The Bulls increased their lead to 4-0 in the 4th. DH Chris Carter led off with a solo home run, which saw RF Andrew Lambo trying to climb up the padded right field wall (it never works) in a desperate attempt to grow 12 feet taller. Gallagher walked Canzler after the homer, and two outs later, he hit Furmaniak with a pitch. SS Ray Olmedo gr ounded sharply to first, and the ball dinged off 1B Andy Marte's glove for a single. Canzler was off and running with the pitch, and he came around to score, even though d'Arnaud got to the ball quickly. A ground out to third and an excellent scoop by 3B Brian Friday ended the inning.
Indians Washed Under By Tides
Brian Friday makes the play at third base.
Norfolk Tides 6, Indianapolis Indians 0
Three Norfolk pitchers combined to hold the Indians to just 3 hits in a shut-out game tonight at Victory Field. Only the outfielders had hits — LF Alex Presley and CF Gorkys Hernandez both singled and RF Andrew Lambo doubled. Starter Rudy Owens was not able to contain the Tides' batters, and he suffered his second loss of the season.
The Tides' batters got to Owens (photo) in the top of the 1st. CF Tyler Henson and 2B Ryan Adams led off with back-to-back singles into left field. With runners on the corners, Owens struck out the next two batters, former Indy Indian SS Nick Green and 1B Brandon Snyder. It looked like Owens might get out of the jam, but LF Nolan Reimold worked the count full, fouled off a couple more pitches, then ripped a double into left-center field. LF Presley and CF Hernandez both raced toward the ball, and at the last possible second, Presley made a desperate dive — but could not come up with the ball. That drove in both base runners, to give the Tides a 2-0 lead.
Owens pitched a scoreless 2nd inning, then gave up a solo home run to Snyder in the 3rd inning, increasing the Tides' lead to 3-0. He retired the side in order in the 4th. In the 5th, RF Blake Davis grounded sharply through the hole and into left field, but as he rounded first and headed for second, Davis was not counting on Presley in left field. Presley came up throwing, and his throw to 2B Pedro Ciriaco was on-target and well ahead of Davis, who was out at second. Adams also reached base when he grounded to first. 1B Matt Hague made a great diving stop, but when Owens arrived to cover the bag, he dropped Hague's toss for an error. Adams was left on first when a fly out ended the inning.
Tribe Drops Double Header; Ascanio Back
The Indianapolis Indians played a double header tonight against the Columbus Clippers in Columbus, to make up for Saturday's rain out — and the Indians lost both games.
Columbus Clippers 6, Indianapolis Indians 1 (Game 1)
The first game, which began at 5 pm, saw the Indians jump out to a good start. With two outs in the top of the 1st, LF Alex Presley lifted a home run over the right-center field wall to give the Indians a 1-0 lead. 1B Matt Hague tried to keep the inning going with a single lined into left field following the homer, but he was left on base.
Tribe starter Sean Gallagher (photo) could not hold on to that lead. With one out in the bottom of the 1st, Gallagher walked DH Cord Phelps and 3B Lonnie Chisenhall back-to-back, then loaded the bases with a single to LF Chad Huffman. Another single, by 1B Travis Buck, drove in both Phelps and Chisenhall, then a slip by Presley in left field let Huffman move up to third base. Gallagher caught a break when C Jason Jaramillo threw out Buck as he tried to steal second base, then Gallagher ended the inning with a strikeout.
Columbus increased the lead to 4-1 with two more runs in the 2nd inning. RF Jordan Brown led off with a double, and former Indy Indian C Luke Carlin walked. Jaramillo tried to pick Brown off second base, but the throw bounced off SS Pedro Ciriaco's glove and into left-center field, putting Brown on third and Carlin on second. SS Luis Valbuena ripped a double into the left-center field gap, driving in both Brown and Carlin, and the Clippers were ahead by 3 runs. They added another run in the 3rd inning, on a walk and a stolen base by 2B Jason Kipnis, then a double into right field by Brown.
Gallagher came out to begin the 4th inning, but after a walk and two strikeouts, Gallagher had thrown 98 pitches (54 strikes), and he was relieved by Tony Watson. Watson finished the 4th with a fly out, but he gave up a solo homer to Huffman, the first batter in the 5th inning. He also gave up a walk and a single in the 6th, but kept the Clippers from scoring in that inning.
Missed Opportunities And Homers Sink The Tribe
Columbus Clippers 6, Indianapolis Indians 4
A big inning by the Clippers and too many missed opportunities by the Indians added up to another loss for the Tribe as the two teams opened a 3-game series at Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio. Neither starting pitcher made it out of the 4th inning. 3B Josh Harrison (photo) had two hits for the Indians and came around to score twice.
The Indians got started with an unearned run in the top of the 1st. With one out, SS Chase d'Arnaud singled up the middle and LF Alex Presley singled into left field, sending d'Arnaud to third. Presley stole second base, then 1B Matt Hague walked to load the bases. DH Andy Marte grounded to short, where Columbus SS Cord Phelps had the ball pop out of his glove. Everyone was safe on the error and d'Arnaud scored from third. But the inning ended with a strikeout by C Dusty Brown, and all three runners were left on base. Josh Harrison made it a 2-0 lead when he led off the top of the 2nd with a long and high blast into the left field bleachers.
Brian Burres, in his fourth start of the season, zipped through the bottom of the 1st, thanks to a stunning play by Harrison at third. His counterpart at third base, Lonnie Chisenhall, smacked a sharp grounder to third, where Harrison made the scoop, then made a throw across his body on the run, in time to nab Chisenhall at first. Burres gave up a solo home run in the bottom of the 2nd, to RF Travis Buck, followed by a double by Phelps, though Burres was able to work around the double and leave Phelps on base.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Girl puppies, a Hagerstown Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Wouldn't it be great if spring around these parts truly started on March 21st with the trees budding, the flowers sprouting, and the sunshine warming us up! But truth be told, we all know we have to keep ourselves focused towards that warm spring day for a bit longer! Some days it feels like a little touch of sunshine would make some of those challenging parts of the day with our children a bit easier. The reality is that all parents can use some helpful tips to survive their own "witching hour," no matter what the season.
If you ask almost any parent, they will openly tell you that they have a "witching hour" each day with their children! That time of the day that they see the most resistance from their children and the time of the day that it takes a whole lot more effort on their part to get any sort of cooperation! Sometimes it is the start of the day, the hectic part of morning when everyone needs to get up, get ready, have breakfast, and get out the door…all in a flash! Some parents feel like they spend the mornings barking orders like a drill sergeant without any willing "recruits!" Other parents report the time right after school up through the dinner hour as their time of stress. After a busy day for everyone, the kids all seem like they crave your undivided attention while homework needs to be done, the house needs to be organized, and dinner needs to be made! It feels like you are running a three ring circus full of action and chaos, minus the fun! Whatever the time of day, know that you are in good company! Whether your household has a stay at home mom or dad, or working parents, let's face it…there is that time when no one feels at their best!
So, how can your family not only survive, but possibly even enjoy the "witching hour?" The first answer is to start to think about increasing the structure during these times of the day. No matter what your parenting style, creating specific routines during these times will prove to be very beneficial for everyone. Research shows that helping children know what to expect through routines can help them feel safe and secure. Feeling safe and secure will lead to increased compliance and cooperation. In addition, routines promote responsibility which will lead to healthy independence. Therefore, start by managing the time with a schedule by breaking it into short segments (15 minutes at a time) with very clear expectations for the children and for yourself. Some parents work well with a visual schedule for the family. Having a schedule posted can help to remove your constant reminders from the equation. The key to success is to teach what you want to see! The children should clearly know what will be expected from each family member!
Next, be creative about how you can get the children involved in what needs to get done. In the mornings, give specific jobs or responsibilities to help the children stay focused on what they need to accomplish. In addition to their self care routine, have someone be in charge of putting out the placemats for breakfast or letting out the family dog. Also, consider a helper to make breakfast! After school, be creative in having the children be involved in dinner. Even little ones can help tear lettuce or rinse vegetables while older kids can do some simple chopping. Little aprons, kid friendly kitchen tools and convenient step stools will help them feel more invested. For children that are craving some parent time this is a great opportunity to give them what they need, while accomplishing your own goal!
Third, be prepared! For the mornings, have as much done as possible to make for a smooth transition out the door. For example, you could help lay out clothes, pack backpacks, make lunches, and sign any forms the night before. Remember to involve the children by giving them age appropriate "jobs" to help complete these tasks. For after school, plan ahead of time for dinner as much as possible. Perhaps determine your menu for the week on Sundays. Consider some quick fix meals or even leftovers on those nights your family has a heavy schedule! When you're not "winging it" all the time, your own stress level will be reduced dramatically.
Lastly, try to have some fun. For the morning time, consider encouraging siblings to work as a team. When they both have completed their personal routines and any "jobs," then they BOTH can have a few minutes of free time before they leave for the day. Teamwork can allow the children to encourage and motivate one another. You may also want to consider an "out the door" incentive. Again if the routines are all completed with success, have the children pick from the "out the door" box for the car ride or even the bus- a special CD, a fun pair of sunglasses, an etch a sketch, or even a pair of binoculars can be an added bonus! Be sure that these rewards remain motivating by only using them at this time of the day! After school, be sure to schedule in a block of time to play with your children. Many children need the opportunity to reconnect with you after a long day. Plan some fun activities ahead of time and ENJOY! Giving your undivided attention by investing even fifteen minutes of your time with your children at this busy time of the day will be invaluable to them. So go ahead, keep bundled up awhile longer and forge ahead by taking the time to be creative and do some planning to turn your "witching hour" into a "winning hour" for your whole family.
