I think AF is coming.
I was AF-free for 15 months after having DS. DD will be 8 weeks tomorrow. And I am excusively breastfeeding again(of course!), and she's not even sleeping long stretches. Though DS did wake a little more frequently...

Jackson will be 7 weeks tomorrow. Here is a link to my chart that I am keeping just so I know when things happen.
K 30 married to J 40 Love being a SAHM to our IVF miracles: Jackson 08/09, Emily and Miles 09/11 Missing our lost babies 04/08, 08/10. Currently planted on a soft surface all day long.
Wasn't there someone else in here that started AF 8 wks PP, with their second baby? I wonder, is it usual to start AF a lot sooner with baby #2?
But maybe you're right. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts....

Here's my question: IF you are spotting, but no full period, does that mean you are ovulating???
Undeniable spotting on the undies today, but no full period, and the cramps seem to be subsiding now. Hmm. If I am ovulating, I'm not too worried about it, cuz I would have to be having sex to get pregnant. Haha, is all I have to say. I gots no time or energy for that.

with ds1 & ds2 i had 16 weeks until af returned. The only difference this time is that River sleeps for 5 hours at night and the boys never went for longer than 3.
I think I may have just started my period. Either that or it's my IUD insertion from a few weeks ago still stirring things up.
know i'm in the minority, but i can't wait for af to return. this past 2.5 years of almost constant pregnancy/pp amenorrhea has showed me that my body just doesn't feel normal without cycles...my energy seems to come back. plus, the weight just dropped off (and then some) by the 2nd cycle.
mama to n 12.17.07 and j 08.13.09
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry mamas. In my experience AF did not arrive earlier with DS2. I tend to be infertile though and my AF never seems to come until I wean or cut way, way back on nursing at night. AF came back around 17 mos with DS1 and that is when he weaned. AF came back around the same time with DS2 and that is when he nightweaned.

A friend is giving me some lily of the valley this today. If I plant these immediately is there any chance I'll get blooms this spring? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi woodyswife, I feel that someone ought to respond to your question. My guess is that no one has answered because there are too many unknowns, such as the condition of the plants when they were given to you, where you planted them, how deep etc. So the only correct answer is "maybe". I strongly hope that they do bloom for you this year, but certainly they should by next year. Lily of the valley is one of my favorite fragrances. Good luck with them. Jerry |

Chevrolet makes Trax into new segment
Comment on this storyHere at IOL Motoring we like plain speaking, so we were impressed when Chevrolet Europe boss Susan Docherty described her new 'urban explorer' as a small SUV, rather than a compact crossover.
The Chevrolet Trax is due to debut at Paris auto show in September 3012; it will reach European showrooms in the second quarter of 2013, following the introduction of the new Malibu and the Cruze station wagon late in 2012.
Docherty says the Trax will provide room for five passengers and generous cargo space, and will eventually be sold in more than 140 markets worldwide. She gave no details of engines or drivetrains.
"The Trax will give Chevrolet an entry in the growing small SUV segment," she said, "with the versatility, low fuel consumption and car-like handling that urban explorers require."
This 'little car that can' exhibits its SUV toughness and capability in a small package, she added, through its chunky exterior design and wide stance, taking the current GM design language a step further.

If you have children, you know that maintaining peace in your household can be difficult. One minute your children are getting along and the next minute they're at each other's throats. Knowing when and how to intervene can make a difference in how well your children relate to each other. Find out what you can do to manage sibling rivalry.
Sibling rivalry typically develops as siblings compete for their parents' love and respect. Signs of sibling rivalry might include hitting, name-calling, bickering and immature behavior. Children often display this kind of behavior after the birth of a new baby. It can also happen anytime one child in the family receives extra attention or what's perceived to be preferential treatment.
While sibling rivalry is a natural part of growing up, many factors can affect how well your children get along with each other — including age, sex and personality, as well as the size of your family, whether it's a blended family and each child's position in it. For example:
As your children get older, the way they interact is likely to change. While younger children tend to fight physically, older children are more likely to have verbal arguments. Friction between siblings typically peaks between ages 8 and 12, when children become physically stronger and more opinionated. As teens become more independent, however, they might spend less time with family and younger siblings. This can lessen the sibling squabbling but also be difficult for younger children to accept.

Plant-based plastics account for less than 1 percent of total global resin demand -- but that could change quickly.
Hasso von Pogrell, managing director of the Berlin-based trade group European Bioplastics, told the EurActiv.com website that bioplastics are still a niche material, but it's still a market that's growing rapidly.
EurActiv has two stories about bioplastics: a Q&A interview with von Pogrell headlined "Industry chief: 'In the long run, there is no alternative to bioplastics'" and a story headlined "Plant-based plastics 'no panacea', Greens warn."
Some of von Pogrell's statistics are noteworthy. He said global bioplastic demand currently stands at about 1 million metric tons annually, but it's forecast to hit 6 million metric tons by 2016.
That's a drop in the bucket compared to total global resin production of 260 million metric tons.
But it's still becoming a very significant share of certain plastics markets -- especially PET beverage bottles, thanks to the push to the big soft drink companies' plans to use bio-based PET.
"The main driver is, of course, the growing demand for more sustainably developed consumer products. Brand-owners and OEMs are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint and replace limited fossil-based materials with renewable, bio-based solutions. More and more companies therefore integrate bioplastics into their corporate sustainability programs," von Pogrell said.
But not all environmentalists are sold on the benefits of plant-based plastics.
The story quotes Robbie Blake, a campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe, saying that "Bioplastics raise exactly the same controversy about our over-consumption of land, and the damaging style of intensive plantation agriculture used to mass-produce the raw materials."
Plant-based plastics risk competing for land with food. And many bio-based resins, including PET and high density polyethylene, aren't biodegradable, so the environmental advantages over conventional resins aren't clear, he said.
"Other solutions for our insatiable appetite for plastic exist like reusable bottles, bags and packaging, recycling, and consuming less in the first place," Blake said.
I've covered the topic of plant-based plastics vs. recycled plastics before, and every time I mention it I get feedback from people who say it's not a question of one or the other -- plant-based plastics can be recycled.
I understand that point, but urge Blog readers to keep in mind that the real question is which material brand-owners want to use to meet their sustainability goals.
If a brand-owner wants to use 100 percent plant-based resins, what does that mean to the brand's use of recycled-content resins?
The last time I checked, you can't squeeze in any more than 100 percent.

.- Today the secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, Archbishop Nikola Eterovic, presented the "Instrumentum laboris" (working document) to be used by prelates at the Twelfth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, which will be held October 5 – 26. The document focuses on the 'Word of God' and the life it brings to the Church.
Archbishop Eterovic explained that the assembly, with the theme, "The Word of God in the Life and the Mission of the Church," will focus on two main points. "The first is the previous Synod on the Eucharist, and the second is the Pauline Year which will begin on June 28."
The Pauline year will undoubtedly "arouse a renewed missionary drive in the Church, for the benefit of all humanity. The center of such dynamism remains the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist," he said.
The working document introduced by Archbishop Eterovic is divided into three parts: (1) The Mystery of God Who Speaks to Us; (2) The Word of God in the Life of the Church; (3) The Word of God in the Mission of the Church.
The first section begins by exploring the term 'Word of God' before reflecting on its relationship with "Tradition, Scripture and the Magisterium."
The document goes on to explain how the Word of God participates in the life of the Church. "The ministry of the Word, which has various modes of expression, finds a privileged place in liturgical celebrations."
The archbishop said that the second section also emphasizes the necessity "to exercise particular care over the liturgy of the Word, the readings, the homily and the prayer of the faithful, which are essential parts of the Mass."
Archbishop Eterovic then examined part three which begins by reiterating "the Church's mission to proclaim the Word of God" through the process of "evangelization and catechesis." The section then goes on to explain the importance of the Word of God for inter-religious dialogue, especially Islam. "Sacred Scripture is an important bond of unity with other Christians. There exists a special relationship uniting Christians and Jews, with whom they share a large part of Scripture."

The Innocence Project's blog reports Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced on Tuesday that he was implementing a moratorium on the death penalty.
Inlsee reached his decision after months of review and of talking with family members of victims, prosecutors and law enforcement, according to the Associated Press. The AP also reported that, at a press conference, Inslee said, "There have been too many doubts raised about capital punishment, there are too many flaws in this system today. . . . There is too much at stake to accept an imperfect system."
Governor Inslee will issue a reprieve to all death penalty cases that come across his desk, without the intention of commuting sentences or pardoning those sentenced to death. Nine men awaiting execution at the Washington State Penitentiary will be saved from being executed.

At Home in Mitford, by Jan Karon
Dean's Book Club Book Review by Ann Katherine Reimers
The Dean's Book Club is currently reading At Home in Mitford, by Jan Karon, a warm and loving look into the lives of a small town's Episcopal parish rector, Father Tim Kavanagh, his congregation, and others in the close-knit community. Weaving with the rector through the lives of the residents of Mitford and its outskirts, the reader is drawn into their individual and collective routines and dramas, joys and woes, degradations and transformations.
At Home in Mitford is the first in a series of nine books about Father Tim and his congregants in Mitford, a picturesque town in North Carolina, on the slopes of the Appalachian Mountains.
It's easy to love the parishioners and their Baptist and Presbyterian neighbors, who work together and know each other's business, socialize, gossip and condemn, forgive and reconcile with each other in unique and real ways. They are wealthy, middle-class, and poor, generous, selfish, and suspicious, gracious, abrasive, stable and secure, and barely holding on.
Mitford is every small town, and none at all, a fictionalization of where everyone and anyone who craves intimacy and community, tradition and continuity, might want to live.
In addition to his ministrations to his parishioners and others in his parish town, we share the transformations and revelations of Father Tim himself, as he finds love and inner healing at 62, after 36 years in the pulpit, 13 of them in Mitford, with a buoyant, youthful new neighbor, Cynthia Coppersmith. A successful author and illustrator of children's books, Cynthia moves into the little yellow house next door to the rectory, left to her by her grandfather, and enraptures and captures the rector's heart.
Their love story becomes the reader's love story; their challenges the reader's challenges; their triumphs, the reader's triumphs. The book evokes laughter and tears, ahas! and oh, nos! When Barnabas, Father Tim's enormous, foundling dog, most probably the only dog anywhere unfailingly brought to heel by Scripture, bathes Father Tim's face with his tongue, we feel equally bathed; when he takes in young Dooley Barlowe, whose mother is an alcoholic and the grandfather with whom he's been living is hospitalized, we experience the enormous change in his lifelong bachelor's existence; as his life opens and expands, ours opens and expands with it, as well.
Truth be told, I've just finished the fifth book in the series, A New Song. I expect you'll feel equally compelled to follow the story from the first through the ninth book, eager to find out what happens next to the Mitford residents who, through their relationships with Father Tim, become people you care about and love, none more than Father Tim and bride, Cynthia. New characters appear, as well as new parishes, as Father Tim changes and expands his ministry.
The book is as rich with references to Scripture ("Philippians 4:13, for Pete's sake!" Father Tim frequently admonishes), wry wit and humor that will have you laughing out loud, and poignant revelations that bring tears to both characters and readers.
I highly recommend the experience, reading, believing, transfiguring, and otherwise.
A Hidden Wholeness, by Parker J. Palmer
The Dean's Book Club Review by Ann Reimers
The second selection of the Dean's Book Club is A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life, by Parker J. Palmer. In it, Parker reminds us that "Christ calls us to be transformed," and to embark on a journey toward the soul, or true, inner self, "who we were meant to be." He calls it the "journey toward an undivided life," in which our external lives revolve around our internal lives, and we are able to listen for and hear the voice of our souls in everything we do.
Palmer, a practicing Quaker, likens it to life on a Möbius strip, in which there is continuity between inner and outer, which co-create reality, rather than the inner distancing itself from the outer, making the outer "soulless" and empty. Life on the Mobius strip is "the adult form of wholeness into which we were born," Palmer says. He calls us to educate ourselves, in the original meaning of the word, which is "to invite out from within," and invite the soul, the "trusting, trustworthy part of ourselves," to come out.
In order for the soul to appear, allowing us to "rejoin soul and role," Palmer says we must create an environment that is safe and supportive and honors the soul. He calls such a space a "circle of trust," in which each individual is given both the solitude and community required for the journey toward undividedness, with skilled leadership and an "openly invitational" form of participation. Only open, honest questions are asked (no built-in advice or questions to which the answers are known), respecting the "inner teacher" that exists in all of us.

Floral, Thank you! I read up on it and I think, this one is going to grow in a tub. It looks like it can be a problem child. I am going to keep it, but in a tub. |

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 If any of men maketh a vow to the Lord, either bindeth himself by an oath, he shall not make void, or false, his word, but he shall fulfill all thing that he promised. (If anyone maketh a vow to the Lord, or bindeth himself with an oath, he shall not make his word void, or false, but he shall fulfill everything that he promised.) | 2 When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said. |

IGEM:University of Illinois Urbana Champaign/2009/Notebook/Bioware 2010 Arsenic Bioremediation
From OpenWetWare
Customize your entry pages | |
Description/AbstractThe 2010 Illinois iGEM Bioware team project has two main components: development of bacteria capable of bioremediation and refinement of a bacterial decoder developed by the 2009 Illinois iGEM team. The bioremediation portion of our project will focus specifically on heavy metals. To achieve our goal of complete removal of harmful heavy metals, we plan to introduce genes into E.coli that will make the bacteria resistant to the metals being removed, and also genes that code for metal binding proteins that will be displayed on the bacteria's outer membrane. The bacterial decoder portion will be implemented using small RNAs and regulatory proteins to regulate the assembly of protein products unique to a certain set of inputs. This regulation under unique, user specified environmental circumstances is central to making the decoder a novel concept. The system implemented by the decoder will consist of different types of logic gates. These will be submitted to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts to be used by other synthetic biologists. Our ultimate goal is to incorporate our bioremediation project and our bacterial decoder so that bacteria will be able to isolate specific metals based on their environmental conditions. This notebook will log the progress of the Arsenic Bioremediation portion of the project as we put together a system responsible for the collection of arsenic on the cell surface. Here is a PowerPoint with a more detailed explanation of the system!Media:UIUC-IllinoisIGEM_Bioware_Arsenic_System_Overview.pdf

Re:"paradigm shift". You PHB you. (106 comments)
My understanding is that Aryabhata also used epicycles to model planetary movement (and by the way, even if they're not literally there, they can be incredibly accurate, which only adds to my annoyance at the way they get ridiculed). I've heard about the ellipse thing, but never seen any evidence (which, naturally, doesn't mean it's not true!)
Re:"paradigm shift". You PHB you. (106 comments)
Remember "epicycles?"
This is another of those "dumb science" metaphors that are flung around with no regard for history. The heliocentric model of the solar system did nothing to solve the problem of epicycles, and given what was known at the time, would you have come up with ellipses?
Re:"paradigm shift". You PHB you. (106 comments)
In fact, paradigm shift was a useful expression long before it was hijacked by business consultants. I suppose this is the destiny of any phrase that describes, shall we say, a great leap forward -- to be misused and misapplied until people end up forgetting what it once actually meant.
How would you prefer the search for a unification theory to proceed? And why are you so angry? It's not for you to decide how people who are smarter than either of us should spend their time.
What do you have against aether? (106 comments)
The idea of a luminiferous aether followed naturally from the observation that light acted like a wave, and one of the fundamental things about waves is that they travelled in a medium.
This lead to experiments designed to detect the medium of light (like the famous Michelson-Morley one), to the Lorentz transformations and the Theory of Relativity. The aether conjecture is science at its best: hypothesis, experiment, falsification, paradigm shift. Why it's used as a metaphor for stupidity has always been a mystery to me.

Space and matter are the same? Then either space has a gravitational effect, or they're the "same" in a way that doesn't include a fundamental property of matter, which is to say that they're not the same at all (you'll recognise the quote "in exactly the same way that bricks don't" -- it speaks to nature of classification rather elegantly I think).
So why hasn't the gravitational effect of space been detected? Oh, wait, because the scientists missed something. Silly scientists!

I've got an older 1/2hp chain drive Craftsman garage door opener. Yesterday it started acting up. The wall switch was activated and the door went half way down and then stopped. I reset power to the opener and got it to go down using a remote switch. Now it will go up and down with a remote, but it will start going up or down by itself and will not operate at all using the wall switch. Has anybody seen this?. Also does anybody have a pinout and/or voltage chart for the wall switch? |

Omega Announces Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results; Adjusted FFO Of $0.50 Per Share For The Fourth Quarter; And $334 Million Of New Investments
All of the residents of the four facilities have been relocated and the receiver has surrendered possession of the facilities to the Company. The Company is actively marketing the facilities for sale (for purposes other than the operation of skilled nursing care). During the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company classified these facilities as "assets held for sale" on its consolidated balance sheet.
As a result of the Order, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $24.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to reduce the carrying values of the Connecticut facilities to their fair values.
FC/SCH Facilities – On June 15, 2011, the Company executed an Agreement To Enter Into Master Lease And Restructure Certain Obligations ("MTA") with Genesis Healthcare, LLC ("Genesis") and FC/SCH Partners, LLC and FC Properties WV, LLC (previously referred to as "Formation" and hereafter "FC/SCH") related to the eleven facilities then leased by FC/SCH. Among other things, the MTA provided at the closing:
- a subsidiary of Genesis would enter into a new long-term master lease providing for a twelve-year initial term;
- Genesis would deliver a guaranty of the new master lease;
- the restructuring of certain indebtedness of FC/SCH to Omega, including, the guaranty of Genesis to repay such indebtedness as restructured; and
- the release of certain other obligations of FC/SCH.
The sole condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the MTA was the receipt of all necessary healthcare regulatory approvals in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and West Virginia to the transfer of the operating licenses from FC/SCH to Genesis. Effective January 1, 2012, all regulatory approvals were received (except with respect to the Vermont facilities, which will be added to the new master lease when Vermont regulatory approvals are received) and the Company and a Genesis subsidiary entered into a new twelve-year master lease.

Naturasil for Tinea Versicolor aids in relieving the symptoms of tinea versicolor including onychomycosis and candida. All natural plant extracts treat the fungus responsible for tinea versicolor without the use of harsh chemicals or high costs common in most traditional treatment methods.
Wash and thoroughly dry the affected area. Apply Naturasil for Tinea Versicolor with built-in applicator brush, 2-3 times per day until the infection has cleared.
Note: To help return pigment to the affected area of skin, you should spend some time in the sun. Also, tinea versicolor is known to reoccur, to reduce the risk of reoccurance we suggest using Naturasil Tinea Versicolor Medicated Soap once or twice a week. Some individuals may be sensitive to essential oils. Skin test for tolerability. If irritation or reaction occurs, discontinue use. Results may vary.

Licensed clinical esthetician and cosmetologist Mary Turner and her expert staff outfit patrons with beautified dermises through a wide range of pampering services. During the 20-minute microdermabrasion treatment, a jet spray of tiny crystals and a vacuum team up to effectively polish off the skin's outer keratin layer without damaging deeper dermal tissue or exposing hidden metal endoskeletons. The treatment stimulates the growth of new cells in order to help treat a number of skin conditions including fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne, and rosacea. Though skin types may vary, most clients notice improvement after just one treatment. After a professional consultation, a chemical peel will augment the restoration with a custom blend of products fine-tuned to treat the client's skin type and count time according to the atomic clock.
The stresses of everyday life dissipate at the hands of Tranquillité Massage Therapy's licensed staff members, who ply muscles within the softly lit confines of its private treatment rooms. The therapists target chronic aches and pains across the body, digging into or gliding across soft tissue with massage modalities including Swedish, deep-tissue, and soothing hot-stone. Specialty massages administered by highly trained therapists target overworked muscles that impair the body's performance, and paraffin wax treatments enhance any massage with skin-softening warmth.
A visit to Tranquillité Massage Therapy shows that it takes the implications of its name seriously. Nearly every facet of the center contributes to an optimally relaxing experience, from plush massage beds to a policy that allows clients to prepare for massages at their own pace—time spent undressing, relaxing, and rehearsing groans of relief never counts toward massages.
Returning back east after working under Robert Cromeans?the global artistic director of Paul Mitchell?in his California salon and traveling hair shows, Sergio Pampena succeeded his father as the owner and driving force behind Sergio?s Style. Sergio works closely with the stylists who call his Paul Mitchell Focus Salon home, including three who spend their spare time as national educators for Paul Mitchell. His stylists begin cuts and colorings by ushering clients to the wash house, an alcove situated behind a towering wall of falling water where muscles relish a head and neck massage as soft music trills from speakers and well-hidden carousels. While stylists work, clients can watch their hair color getting mixed at the floor?s color bar or affix eyes on a wall-mounted flat-screen television. Though Sergio?s stylists are chiefly concerned with haircare, a menu of waxing, spray-tanning, and makeup services are available to complement fresh cuts.
Salon Iaomo's trained hair whisperers give head covers a fresh look with a blow-dry in one of eight high-class styles. Guests can slip into the salon's padded chairs for a wash that cleanses manes of grime, oil, and hitchhiking squirrels. Clients then peruse a blow-dry bar menu complete with photographic examples in order to choose which look their face fringe should assume. The Mohito style adds volume to long locks, and short hairs curl into line with the Cosmopolitan, a Marilyn Monroe–esque style. Pulchritudinous patrons can also touchup eye awnings with an eyebrow wax that mows down rogue hairs and leaves them looking as sleek as a Porsche run through a giant rock tumbler. Clients can admire the ornate embellishments that deck the salon's auburn-colored walls during their mane makeovers.
Founded by a pair of physicians, each with more than 15 years of medical experience, FeelNu Medi Spa and Wellness Center helps patients improve their appearance and overall wellness through services ranging from anti-aging therapies and laser hair-removal treatments to weight-loss tools. Beyond customizing hormone-replacement therapies to fight signs of menopause and age-related fatigue, FeelNu?s physicians also design programs to control and manage weight. For more aesthetic treatments, medical-grade lasers aim to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, unwanted hair, and obsolete CD-ROM drives installed in patients? heads, and medical peels and microdermabrasion facials help restore skin?s natural shine.
At La Look Skincare & Makeup Boutique, aestheticians specialize in applying makeup and refreshing faces with everything from peels and specialized facials to ultrasound waves and stem-cell therapy. Staff can efficiently wax away hair or apply lash extensions that make eyes more expressive and less likely to be mistaken for bald marbles. The boutique offers anti-aging treatments, spray-tanning services, and more than 20 massage options, which include Swedish and deep tissue. Staff can also give nutrition and fitness consultations to those who want to start their makeovers from within. In keeping with their stated philosophy of "Be your own kind of beautiful," La Look aims to help women increase their inner strength and self-esteem while fostering a healthy outlook on life. In addition to a full service menu, La Look offers products from a variety of brands, including Becca, the Balm, Kevyn Aucoin, Billion Dollar Brows, Japonesque, Dr. Dennis Gross, Vagheggi, Principessa, LaLicious, Verso, Rouge Bunny Rouge, Feeling Smitten. and Beauty For Real.

text: I know I should probably post this on the exercise forum but anyway here goes... I have read several articles both online and in magazines about the healthy benefits of walking and that those benefits can be achieved in only 20 minutes a day. Is this really possible? I mean only 20 minutes??? I know women who bust their buns off at the gym for over an hour up to five days a week and I'm wondering if they could get the same results by just doing the 20 minutes a day. If anyone is currently on a walking program l'd love to hear your opinions.

They call it conscious hip hop, as in socially conscious – sometimes it can be almost political. This emerging sound is at the forefront of the local music scene in Seattle, a place that has been known to spark a music revolution or two.
Halloween, now more a season than a day, has people flocking in search of ghosts. Southeast Texas has a glut of haunted houses, museums and spook houses open the entire month of October (See sidebar) promising gobs of ghosts, goblins, ghouls and creatures from the deep that will jump out and make you SCREAM … AAAAHHHHHH!
The delicacies of the deep combined with unique seasonings of Southeast Texas make Floyd's Cajun Seafood and Steakhouse a tradition from Louisiana to Texas.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

thanks folks for all of your insightful responses. I have it all set up
the way i want it to be for now and it sounds just great.I set up jack a few weeks ago to replace Pulse. I'm not an audio
engineer so i don't *need* the low latency (does it make an audible
difference for playback?), but i liked the idea of having the ability to
pipe from one program and plug in to another. It's fantastic.Bearcat

A California millionaire has taken an unusual step to find a specific type of girlfriend for the holidays.
Marc Paskin purchased a billboard on the side of the interstate just outside of San Diego.
The billboard says "All I Want For Christmas Is A Latina Girlfriend" then provides an email where women can reach him.
Paskin is 63 and was married to his wife Marsha for 28 years. Sadly she died in 2002 from diabetes.
NBC San Diego reports that Paskin is also a philanthropist. He's given more than $1 million to the UC San Diego Shiley Eye Center.
Paskin, who has a net worth of $200 million, would be best known for his appearance on the reality TV show "Secret Millionaire."
He has not yet confirmed whether he put up the billboard himself.

Posted on: March 05, 2009 at 3:33AM
The best time to visit Cuc Phuong National Park is during the dry season, from December to April, when the hard forest rain accounting for 90% of the annual rainfall is over. Cuc Phuong National Park is located 100km south of Hanoi in Ninh Binh province. The park is conveniently located on the route to several tourist attractions, including Bich Dong Pagoda, Hoa Lu, and Sam Son Beach. It was officially opened in 1960 as the first national park in Vietnam. Cuc Phuong National Park is surrounded by several limestone cliffs, the highest being May Bac, meaning "silver cloud, "with a height of 656m. There are plenty of plants and mammals living in the park. There are an estimated 2,000 different species of flora and the 450 species fauna account for 38% of the national fauna. Thanks to the limestone terrain, Cuc Phuong National Park has a multitude of caves, including Thang Khuyet Cave, Con Moong Cave, Pho Ma Cave, and Nguoi Xua Cave. Quen Voi, also part of the park, is where Nguyen Hues army was stationed before it made its surprise attack on Thanh Long and defeated Thanh enemies in the spring of 1789. Global environmental programs led by the UNDP, United Nations Development Program, and FFI, Flora and Fauna International, researched the distinguished primitiveness of the tropical forest and the monsoon influence on Southeast Asia in Cuc Phuong National Park. report a problem

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Some time later, this happened: Absalom, David's son, had a sister who was very attractive. Her name was Tamar. Amnon, also David's son, was in love with her. | 1 In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David. |
2 Amnon was obsessed with his sister Tamar to the point of making himself sick over her. She was a virgin, so he couldn't see how he could get his hands on her. | 2 Amnon became frustrated to the point of illness on account of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her. |
3 Amnon had a good friend, Jonadab, the son of David's brother Shimeah. Jonadab was exceptionally streetwise. | 3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man. |
4 He said to Amnon, "Why are you moping around like this, day after day - you, the son of the king! Tell me what's eating at you." "In a word, Tamar," said Amnon. "My brother Absalom's sister. I'm in love with her." | 4 He asked Amnon, "Why do you, the king's son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I'm in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister." |
5 "Here's what you do," said Jonadab. "Go to bed and pretend you're sick. When your father comes to visit you, say, 'Have my sister Tamar come and prepare some supper for me here where I can watch her and she can feed me.'" | 5 "Go to bed and pretend to be ill," Jonadab said. "When your father comes to see you, say to him, 'I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.' " |
6 So Amnon took to his bed and acted sick. When the king came to visit, Amnon said, "Would you do me a favor? Have my sister Tamar come and make some nourishing dumplings here where I can watch her and be fed by her." | 6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, "I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight, so I may eat from her hand." |
7 David sent word to Tamar who was home at the time: "Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare a meal for him." | 7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: "Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him." |
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house. She took dough, kneaded it, formed it into dumplings, and cooked them while he watched from his bed. | 8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the bread in his sight and baked it. |
9 But when she took the cooking pot and served him, he wouldn't eat. | 9 Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat. "Send everyone out of here," Amnon said. So everyone left him. |
10 Then he said to Tamar, "Bring the food into my bedroom, where we can eat in privacy." She took the nourishing dumplings she had prepared and brought them to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. | 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food here into my bedroom so I may eat from your hand." And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. |
11 But when she got ready to feed him, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, sister!" | 11 But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, my sister." |
12 "No, brother!" she said, "Don't hurt me! This kind of thing isn't done in Israel! Don't do this terrible thing! | 12 "Don't, my brother!" she said to him. "Don't force me. Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don't do this wicked thing. |
13 Where could I ever show my face? And you - you'll be out on the street in disgrace. Oh, please! Speak to the king - he'll let you marry me." | 13 What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you." |
14 But he wouldn't listen. Being much stronger than she, he raped her. | 14 But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her. |
15 No sooner had Amnon raped her than he hated her - an immense hatred. The hatred that he felt for her was greater than the love he'd had for her. "Get up," he said, "and get out!" | 15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, "Get up and get out!" |
16 "Oh no, brother," she said. "Please! This is an even worse evil than what you just did to me!" | 16 "No!" she said to him. "Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me." But he refused to listen to her. |
17 He called for his valet. "Get rid of this woman. Get her out of my sight! And lock the door after her." | 17 He called his personal servant and said, "Get this woman out of here and bolt the door after her." |
18 The valet threw her out and locked the door behind her. | 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing a richly ornamented robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. |
19 Tamar poured ashes on her head, then she ripped the long-sleeved gown, held her head in her hands, and walked away, sobbing as she went. | 19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornamented robe she was wearing. She put her hand on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went. |
20 Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has your brother Amnon had his way with you? Now, my dear sister, let's keep it quiet - a family matter. He is, after all, your brother. Don't take this so hard." Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's home, bitter and desolate. | 20 Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet now, my sister; he is your brother. Don't take this thing to heart." And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's house, a desolate woman. |
21 King David heard the whole story and was enraged, | 21 When King David heard all this, he was furious. |
22 but he didn't discipline Amnon. David doted on him because he was his firstborn. Absalom quit speaking to Amnon - not a word, whether good or bad - because he hated him for violating his sister Tamar. | 22 Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar. |
23 Two years went by. One day Absalom threw a sheep-shearing party in Baal Hazor in the vicinity of Ephraim and invited all the king's sons. | 23 Two years later, when Absalom's sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king's sons to come there. |
24 He also went to the king and invited him. "Look, I'm throwing a sheep-shearing party. Come, and bring your servants." | 24 Absalom went to the king and said, "Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his officials please join me?" |
25 But the king said, "No, son - not this time, and not the whole household. We'd just be a burden to you." Absalom pushed, but David wouldn't budge. But he did give him his blessing. | 25 "No, my son," the king replied. "All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you." Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go, but gave him his blessing. |
26 Then Absalom said, "Well, if you won't come, at least let my brother Amnon come." | 26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us." The king asked him, "Why should he go with you?" |
27 But Absalom was so insistent that he gave in and let Amnon and all the rest of the king's sons go. | 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king's sons. |
28 Absalom prepared a banquet fit for a king. Then he instructed his servants, "Look sharp, now. When Amnon is well into the sauce and feeling no pain, and I give the order 'Strike Amnon,' kill him. And don't be afraid - I'm the one giving the command. Courage! You can do it!" | 28 Absalom ordered his men, "Listen! When Amnon is in high spirits from drinking wine and I say to you, 'Strike Amnon down,' then kill him. Don't be afraid. Have not I given you this order? Be strong and brave." |
29 Absalom's servants did to Amnon exactly what their master ordered. All the king's sons got out as fast as they could, jumped on their mules, and rode off. | 29 So Absalom's men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king's sons got up, mounted their mules and fled. |
30 While they were still on the road, a rumor came to the king: "Absalom just killed all the king's sons - not one is left!" | 30 While they were on their way, the report came to David: "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons; not one of them is left." |
31 The king stood up, ripped his clothes to shreds, and threw himself on the floor. All his servants who were standing around at the time did the same. | 31 The king stood up, tore his clothes and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. |
32 Just then, Jonadab, his brother Shimeah's son, stepped up. "My master must not think that all the young men, the king's sons, are dead. Only Amnon is dead. This happened because of Absalom's outrage since the day that Amnon violated his sister Tamar. | 32 But Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "My lord should not think that they killed all the princes; only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom's expressed intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar. |
33 So my master, the king, mustn't make things worse than they are, thinking that all your sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead." | 33 My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead." |
34 Absalom fled. Just then the sentry on duty looked up and saw a cloud of dust on the road from Horonaim alongside the mountain. He came and told the king, "I've just seen a bunch of men on the Horonaim road, coming around the mountain." | 34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. Now the man standing watch looked up and saw many people on the road west of him, coming down the side of the hill. The watchman went and told the king, "I see men in the direction of Horonaim, on the side of the hill." |
35 Then Jonadab exclaimed to the king, "See! It's the king's sons coming, just as I said!" | 35 Jonadab said to the king, "See, the king's sons are here; it has happened just as your servant said." |
36 He had no sooner said the words than the king's sons burst in - loud laments and weeping! The king joined in, along with all the servants - loud weeping, many tears. | 36 As he finished speaking, the king's sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his servants wept very bitterly. |
37 David mourned the death of his son a long time. | 37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned for his son every day. |
38 He was there three years. | 38 After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there three years. |
39 The king finally gave up trying to get back at Absalom. He had come to terms with Amnon's death. | 39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled concerning Amnon's death. |

You can stop by from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Tickets, which are $25 each, are required.

Ok here we go folks. First off I am familiar with all my guns and practice safe handling at all times no matter what. I will not even break my concentration when cleaning my firearms at the end of the day. I have also obtained extra training as well. I have worked with my son with UNLOADED firearms for the past couple of months and thought today was the day I would take him to the range for Live fire shooting. Once again I went over safe handling (before we left) with him again today ( everyting I know, plus what instructors have shown me in class ). So we get to the range, get the gun out (safety again) and proceed to load the first mag with (1) rd. and I make sure he has evrything right. Everything looks good so we take the safety off and he gets set and pulls the trigger, no problem. We repeat this drill a few times and everything looks good so this time I give him a full mag of 22lr. After everything we have went over this is where it goes wrong and it is all my fault and I take full responsability for it. We get him all set, get him up to the line, and then it happens, the most important thing I forgot to tell him.......do not OUTSHOOT your dad at the range. He put all 10rds of 22lr inside the size of a tennis ball (with quite a few X's) at 20yds. The boy gave me heart failure when I seen this. His first time and he shoots better than I ever will. After the 22lr I moved him to the 9mm (1) rnd at a time and he shoots really well again.
We had a great time at the range, went through about 200rnds of 22lr, 100rnds of 9mm, and 100rnds of .45 (love my .45). He's already asking when we are headed back to the range and he said said he'll pay for the ammo. I wish I would have started this years ago with him. I've never enjoyed the range as much as I have today. Teach your kids firearm safety ( i'm sure you have ) and take them out shooting, what better way to spend the day.
