What the Fluff!?!
Have you heard of the Flats Challenge?
Posted by Julie on 4/14/2011 to
Cloth Diaper News
If you read yesterday's
blog post
, and have noticed other similar blog posts and news articles around the web, then you'll know what the purpose of the
Flats & Handwashing Challenge
is.Kim of
Dirty Diaper Laundry
saw a need for the education and advocacy of easy to use, easy to afford, and easy to care for
cloth diapers
. While some of us might constantly be connected via the world wide web and social networking on a daily basis, it's likely that low income families and those really in need of the knowledge and existence of affordable diapering options, may not have access to many resources at all.It's Kim's hope and ours, that the
Flats and Handwashing Challenge
will generate a buzz and help spread the word that cloth diapering can be done by anyone, it doesn't have to cost a fortune and it doesn't even require the use of electricity. Families shouldn't have to choose between food
diapers, and babies shouldn't have to be subjected to unsanitary, unhealthy and uncomfortable disposable diaperng practices.
So what are the rules of the Flats and Handwashing Challenge?
Here's what Kim of Dirty Diaper Laundry has to say about it...
Here are the rules:
You MUST use Flats.
You MUST handwash them. How is up to you. (bathtub, sink, large wash tub, portable non electronic washing machine, or
camp style washer
(bucket and plunger- think churning butter)
You MUST air dry them. (indoors or outdoors, makes no difference)
You MUST limit your number of covers in rotation to 5 or less.
You can use any detergent you want. (Keep in mind that you still want cloth safe detergents)
You can still use your nighttime diapers but I ask that you try to make flats work. Maybe try a prefold wrapped in a flat.
You can use disposable liners.
You CANT use a diaper sprayer. I thought long and hard about this one, but at an average cost of 40.00 this is one diaper accessory that is out of range for many families. Dunk, swish, flush, or scrape!
You MUST start the morning of May 23 and end the evening of May 30.
You MUST fill out a completion survey about your experience. Results will be published here and can be republished on your own blog.
You dont have to be a blogger! Your conclusions about the experiment will be entered into the survey at the end of the challenge. You can share on your Facebook, Twitter, various messageboards. But if you are a blogger please share your experience on your own blog. Grab the button and let people know you are planning on joining the challenge. Recruit others! Challenge your own readers to join and fill out the completion survey. You can blog everyday updating your experience, beforehand to let people know you are getting ready for it and explain what you will be doing, and of course, after the fact to let people know how it went. If you hated it, say so. If you think it was awesome and want to continue in some aspect, say that too! Who knows, flats might be your favorite diaper!
If you are interested in taking this challenge please fill out Kim's form
and visit her blog, keyword
for more details.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Scott Rolen's three-run homer in the fourth proved to be all the Blue Jays would need, as Toronto salvaged the last game in its three-game series against Tampa Bay with a 5-1 victory.
Rolen's homer was his eighth of the season as part of a 2-for-4 effort for the Blue Jays, who snapped a three-game slide. Brett Cecil (4-1) was excellent on the mound, giving up just a run on four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in seven frames.
"I feel like I lost my control a little bit of the fastball at the end," Cecil said. "I got a couple walks -- definitely want to limit that. I had two in Baltimore, four against Cleveland and three today. Without those walks I'd have an extra 20-to-25 pitches to go out there in the eighth."
Adam Lind and Lyle Overbay added two hits apiece for Toronto in the win.
Carl Crawford's homer was the only run produced by Tampa Bay, which had a five-game winning streak against Toronto snapped. Jeff Niemann (9-5) had a rare bad outing, giving up five runs on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. Niemann had allowed more than three runs in only one of his last 12 starts, as the Rays fell for just the second time in his last 13 outings.
"I felt pretty good today. I was attacking the strike zone," Niemann said. "I just made a few mistakes, and they took advantage of it."
After Niemann pitched three hitless and scoreless innings, he got into some trouble in the fourth.
Aaron Hill and Lind started the inning with back-to-back singles, and Rolen followed with a blast over the wall in left-center field for a 3-0 lead.
Cecil's 18-inning scoreless streak finally came to an end in the sixth inning on Crawford's solo blast, as Tampa Bay pulled to within 3-1.
But Toronto got the run back in the sixth and added one more in the seventh.
Lind led off the sixth with a double and moved to third on Rolen's single, and Lind scored on Vernon Wells' double play groundout to make it 4-1. Marco Scutaro added an RBI single in the seventh to account for the Jays' fifth run.
Brandon League pitched around a leadoff double in the eighth to bridge the gap to Jason Frasor, who set down Tampa Bay in order in the ninth to finish the game.

If you had to pick a catchphrase for the pair, that would be it. But when their TV was stolen at the beginning of Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, Butt-Head was forced to dial up the catchphrase an extra notch.

'Delta Boys' director Andrew Berends talks about being arrested in Nigeria
(Read article summary)Berends was arrested and expelled from the country by the Nigerian government.
Akintunde Akinleye/REUTERS
In 2008 while making his documentary Delta Boys, filmmaker Andrew Berends (The Blood of My Brother, When Adnan Comes Home) was arrested and falsely accused of espionage at the bustling Nembe waterside in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, while filming women bringing their products to the market. Also arrested were his translator, Samuel George, and host Joe Bussio. Berends was detained for 10 days and expelled from the country by the Nigerian government in a bid to suppress media coverage of the Niger Delta conflict. In the end, Berends was never charged with a crime, but George's and Bussio's legal statuses then remained undetermined. A fundraiser had been set up for people to contribute to their legal fees. Bussio had eventually been cleared of all charges, and George was expected to report to the authorities soon after, and he too was eventually let go, according to Berends.
Berends in a statement said, "It is important that translators and local journalists around the world know they can do their jobs without fear for their lives, their families, or the expenses they will incur on our behalf." Berends's experience in Nigeria is just one example of a government using its power to deter journalists from reporting their stories, but this is not just happening overseas.

Comments about Ariens Zoom XL 48 725cc 23 HP 48 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower:
Ariens was my choice because of its close to home manufacturing and reputation. I have owned the 48 xl for five years now and it has been in the shop more often AND has had back ordered parts when they are needed most (spring). Not comfortable to ride. I mow just under 5 acres so maybe not he best choice in size but ...It starts with the fuel tubes chronically falling out, tragic design for keeping the mower deck level, and poor lever balance for steering. The only good thing about it is the kohler engine. Looking for my next mower (larger) right now - looking past ariens and its cousin Gravley. dealer network in my part of the state (watertown, WI) lacks.
Comments about Ariens Zoom XL 48 725cc 23 HP 48 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower:
I like this unit generally. That being said I had only 5 hours on the machine when I happened to notice that the clip that holds the right rear leveler in place was gone. I had no pin of that design available and resorted to a small hitch pin. I do not understand how something as vital as a keeper pin can just fall off. My wife found the washer out in the hard. Thankfully I do not thing that I hurt the machine. My other concern is the cutting height. The lowest setting is too low and causes scalping, but the second lowest setting is too high. Any idea of a fix for that?
Comments about Ariens Zoom XL 48 725cc 23 HP 48 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower:
This mower has reduced my mowing time by 1 hour. The cut is even with no scalping and tall or wet grass is not a problem. Cutting the grass is actually fun again.
Comments about Ariens Zoom XL 48 725cc 23 HP 48 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower:
I cannot tell you how great the customer service is at Ariens. I have called numerous times with various maintenance questions, how to install the accessories that i purchased, etc. It is such a shocker to still see this type of Customer Service! Now to the Mower: I just love this thing. I have 1 acre of yard and this mower really makes it look great! It runs great and i don't have any problems with it's performance. Zero Turn really cuts the mower time down - almost half the time.
Comments about Ariens Zoom XL 48 725cc 23 HP 48 in. Zero Turn Riding Mower:
I've had my Zoom 48" XL for almost 2 full summers now and I'm very impressed with how well it performs. I've cut my mowing time in half and my grass has never looked so good! The Zoom XL is very comfortable to ride, feels like sitting in a lazy boy while cutting the grass. This rig has plenty of power for towing an aerator without even noticing it's behind you. I have more than a few neighbors watch me as I cut amazed at how fast I can maneuver it around my yard. Made in the USA! What more can you ask for!

text: I have a set of 4 Devino Road Concept Chrome wheels for sale. No major scratches or curb rash but I have no idea how old they are.. they were on the truck when I bought it a year ago and it's a 2005 but the truck has only had one previous owner. When they're washed up clean they look like they're brand new. I'd like to sell these locally but if they don't sell by next week I'll be willing to ship them. I also have some tires that will fit them, I believe they are 275/65r17 but they don't have much life left and are not mounted but if you want them I'll throw them in for free. Price is $300 for the 4 wheels and 4 unmounted tires if you want them (not the ones shown below). These are some nice looking wheels just not my style, I've gotten many compliments on them. Also if you're far I can meet you half way or we can figure something out.

Will Sunderland Fans Stick With Di Canio's Madness?
Paolo Di Canio's plans to rebuild will likely bring positivity and excitement to Wearside, where Martin O'Neill's squad looked not just second-rate, but a majority appeared to have lost the passion for the fight.
However, his history with Swindon Town suggests this should in fact fill the Sunderland fans with dread.
By the end of his first transfer window in the summer of 2011, Di Canio had signed 15 players for the first team; only three of those are still at Swindon (four if you count Oliver Risser who was at loan with Aldershot who finished bottom of the football league).
Fortunately Di Canio was backed financially by Swindon to be able to ship those players out, bring in some more and correct the situation well enough to win promotion from League Two.
At Sunderland, however, no matter how well backed he may be, the prices of players at the highest level will not allow him the financial breathing room to recover from that kind of failure percentage in the transfer market.
Apart from his questionable transfer success, there is of course his excitable, almost manic, antics in the dug-out and the technical area.
There is no question they have been well received by Sunderland fans, especially his knee slide on the St James' Park turf during the 3-0 win against the Mags.
Sunderland fans had become far too accustomed to the almost resigned nature of O'Neill towards the end of his reign.
However, as a former football manager who was scouting as Swindon two years ago told me: "It seems good fun for the first 15 minutes but then you realise the guy is just crazy."
How long will it be before the impact of how up front and emotional the Italian is becomes either tiring or just plain fades into background noise due to its regularity?
As seen by the brewing row with the PFA, his approach almost makes as many enemies as it does friends among players in his dressing room.
The only player of the 12 'failed' signings to still be playing at a similar level to Swindon is Leon Clarke who is now with Coventry.
He was released after an on pitch argument in his second game at the club – the second game at Swindon for both player and manager. Once again, if he manages to alienate players that he brings into Sunderland, they will be much harder and much more expensive to replace than they were at Swindon.
So while Di Canio's initial impact was impressive, as a long-term solution it looks a worrying time for Sunderland fans.

I would like some help deciphering this situation that happened tonight.
Loading Once-fired 45ACP brass with 4.0gr Titegroup, with a lead 200 grain semi-wadcutter. OAL 1.225
Chronograph from my autoloader (Tanfoglio Witness) gave 450 fps instead of the expected 800 fps.
230 grain hardball used to check chrono out of same gun gave 924 fps (intentionally hot load).
Next lead bullet gave 454 fps.
Same lead bullet and load out of a Glock 45 gave 824fps.
Gun has about 800 rounds through it. All jacketed bullets give good performance.
Any ideas?

I bought the land in 2003 in a hormonal post divorce moment, and despite Hurricane Ivan, which devastated the island of Grand Cayman one year later in 2004, I never once regretted the decision. I have always dreamed of building a beautiful triple aspect house on the ocean. So I designed Christmas Palms (it started life on the back of an envelope) and finally - after much planning, begging and borrowing - managed to break ground in May 2009. This picture was taken at Over the Edge restaurant in Northside, Grand Cayman, just after (with equanimity and no regrets all round) I had ceremoniously thrown my wedding ring into the sea!
"It is quiet, private and beautiful up here on the North Coast of Grand Cayman. It is well away from the noise of Seven Mile Beach, yet within easy distance of the supermarket, diving facilities, trips to stingray city, botanic park and at least half a dozen excellent restaurants, including The Lighthouse and the fine dining at Rum Point. The best of both worlds."
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency (US Dollar) unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

ABAD: Budget reforms integral in nat'l budget process MANILA, March 4 -- With the release of the 2016 Budget Call by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), the Administration plans to sustain the momentum of their reforms even as they embed the culture of good governance, anti-corruption, and disaster risk adaptation in government bureaucracy. Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad said, "We are constantly building on the strengths of previous budgetary reforms so as to create a national budget that is truly responsive to the needs of our countrymen. And more than deepening the budget reforms, we are aiming to make these reforms an integral part of the national budget process." The Budget Call for FY 2016 (National Budget Memorandum No. 123) prescribes specific guidelines and procedures for government agencies and departments as well as Government-Owned and -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) as they craft their budget proposal documents. As such, the National Government wants agencies and departments to focus on the following principles while preparing the 2016 National Budget. These principles include: aiming for the 5 Key Areas of the Social Contract; the

I was a shy kid who preferred solitude to the company of my peers, who dreaded meeting new people and forced social interactions. But what I dislike most of all was when adults focused on my shyness and treated it like a disease or worse, something that I could turn on and off.
That's one of the reasons I loved Lori's post about introverts and Devan's 7 Rules to Follow When Raising an Introverted Child. I love the reminders that there is nothing intrinsically better about a child being an extrovert, that being an introvert is not a character flaw.

Just thought I would ask. Anyone in the Baltimore area know of any place to get good local brew? Anyone in that area willing to share some homebrew? I will be flying into Baltimore from California at the beginning of June and would love to have some brews from there.
Depends on when you're in town, but I would highly suggest going to Max's Taphouse in Fell's Point. Best selection of beer I've seen in the city. Also, any of the other bars in the Fell's Point and/or Federal Hill area are fairly decent. Those are the two "drinking" districts inside the city. If you're going to be in the weekend of the 19th - we're having a brewday a few miles north of the city and you're welcome to attend and drink and be merry. Otherwise, pending what my schedule looks like once we get to June - I'd be happy to get together and bring some homebrew/mead/whatever or just get together and share a pint or two.
Right on, I wish I would be there on the 19th. I will be there from the 6th of June to the 11th of June. I know I will be going down to DC to have dinner one of the nights at Rock Bottom and I am catching a O's and Yanks game on Wednesday night. Other than that, I am up to get together any of the other nights.
couple of great local-brew places to check out:Pratt Street Ale House ~ great English-style ales, brewed in-house. located a stone's throw from Camden Yards.The Brewer's Art ~ Belgian-style, great food and atmosphereMax's is worth the trip, for selection alone. service can be a bit spotty, though. often over-crowded.Metropolitanl ~ in Federal Hil, have yet to get there, myself, but I've heard great thingsWharf Rat ~ in Fell's Pt, just down the alley from Max's. historic B'more bar. they have all of the Oliver Ales (Pratt Street), plus a good selection of other drafts and casks. ____________ edit... just saw that this thread was almost a year old. d'oh!
If you have wheels, get up to Philly for a day. It'll be the middle of Philly Beer Week, and there will be a TON of events going on all over the city.
I recommend Max Taphouse as well. Great selection.

Through the beta usage of Office 2010, there was a lot of excitement about these new features and people were really exploring the possibilities and uses of the features.
There are three key features within the Translation area of Office 2010:
Through peoples' experiences using these features, we learned that sometimes there was a misconception that the translation wasn't working for a selected language pair. But what was actually happening is that the identified language pair is only applicable to the 'Translate Document' portion of the feature, and the 'Mini Translator' portion of the feature works differently such that it automatically detects one side of the language pair (so there's no need to identify both sides of the pair).
This might sound confusing, so let me demonstrate! Let's do this in Word (but the same would be true for Outlook).
1. Start Word and create a new document.
2. Click on the Review menu, then the Translate button, and then select Choose Translation Language…
In a nutshell, think of it like this. If you are using the Mini Translator feature, it will auto-detect and translate to the desired language. If you would like to translate a whole document or email, you should identify both the FROM and TO languages that you desire for the translation.
And as seen below, you can always tell what translation languages are configured for each of the translation features by clicking on the Review tab and Translate.
I hope this information helps you to be more confident about using and exploring the capabilities of the translation features of Office 2010!! If you have any questions, please be sure and post a comment to this blog!
Until next time…
When I do this, both the Translate From and Translate To fields say "No services available". I can't find any information on the web to fix this.
For some languages, such as German, Italian and Danish – the customers are unable to use the online dictionary and machine translation because the services are disabled by default. Please check this article to see if following the steps addresses your issues.
If that does not work - please post back and we can follow up further.
I really enjoyed this post. It proved to be Very helpful to me and I am sure to all the commentators here! Keep writing. Thanks...
Thank you so much for these instructions! My friends were having a hard time trying to figure out the document translation, this will really help them out a ton!

After getting used to my keggle and propane burner this summer, it has been hard to go back to stovetop brewing this winter. Last week it almost hit -40, and brewing outdoors just isnt very attractive right now. So I have been back to the stovetop, mostly only 3 gal batches because I havent worked up the energy to do my old split-pot boil routine (i.e., half the wort in each of two 5 gallon pots on the stove). The problem with my stove, which is a problem shared by many, is that a single burner doesnt throw enough heat to boil all my wort from a 5 gal batch in one pot. Previously, the best I could do was about 3.5 4 gallons in my flat-bottomed stainless pot (uncovered). However, I think I have this problem licked. Tonight I easily got 6.5 gals to a rolling boil in one pot on my stove. First, I used my cheap 30 qt aluminum pot that came with my propane burner in a cheap turkey fryer kit. I am a big fan of aluminum because it transfers heat better than stainless (see here), and in a water trial, I was able to get 5 gals to a rolling boil in it (significantly better than the SS pot). Second, I added a reflective foil blanket to the pot (similar to what many guys drape over their keggle MLTs to keep the heat in). The idea is the same here the reflective insulation helps prevent heat from escaping out the sides of the pot. It was enough to get 6.5 gals to boil instead of only 5 when I used the same pot on the same burner but without the foil blanket. Here are my old and new pots respectively:
Think this would work for a gas stove or would I be setting my pot on fire? (I already keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen just in case...)
Most of those reflective materials are aluminized plastics. You'd probably be better off with the foil-backed engine compartment insulation sold at auto stores.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Yes, I agree with David -- I wouldn't use this method on a gas range. A flame retardant material will be necessary for your case.
FlyGuy and I have the same issue: our ceramic range tops have these little heat sensors built in that prevent the element from getting so hot it damages the cooktop surface. Nice call on a fix for our problem!
I just position the pot in between two gas burners and set them both to high. Fire it up!!
After a successful trial run with the insulated pot on the stove last night, I tried my first single-pot, 6.5 gallon boil on my stove. The recipe was an inky black robust porter, and to my delight the stovetop had no problem whatsoever getting the full volume to a rolling boil. In fact, I had to turn down the heat from MAX to 7 after adding the leaf hops because the boil was getting too vigorous. I am SO happy to not have to do the split-pot two-step shuffle anymore! Foam Control: I gotta put another plug in for this stuff. Magic. I had that turkey fryer pot within an inch and a half of the rim, and there was no danger of boiling over at ANY point in the process. Highly recommended stuff! Turns your 30 qt pot into a 40!!!
Thanks for the info. Great post. I didn't think we could do a full boil on an electric range. That's awesome. We still have a few bucks left on a Home Depot card.
What's your hobby Ray? Drinkin. Want a beer Buddy?
Does anyone use insulation on their kettles on a gas range or propane burner? I'd love to try this on my gas range, but not sure of what material to use. I am not familiar with the engine compartment insulation. Is it fiberglass or mineral wool based? I saw some fiberglass and mineral wool based material on McMaster that will go to like 1000 degrees F, but I worry about getting fiberglass dust anywhere near my beer. Any product that I would use to seal it up would also have to be fireproof, so there goes duct tape or the aluminum foil tape. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Thanks.
Hm. My solution has been like this, but less effective, more dangerous, and higher maintenance. I just wrap a towel around my aluminium pot (I believe it's identical to FlyGuy's - we probably both got them from Canadian Tire.) And hold it in place with duct tape. I've only lit one on fire so far, and it was my least favourite, so that's okay. It also helps if I accidentally boil it over--nothing reaches my cooktop. I guess what I'm saying is, I'll probably be making one of those. Here's hoping CanTire (the only hardware-ish store within walking distance) carries this stuff.

Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is a hot topic in the operational risk and compliance market. In a panel convened by Operational Risk & Regulation, and sponsored by MetricStream and Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, industry experts provide intelligence on the issue, such as the best way to implement a GRC system and what they consider to be its best practical applications
The Panel
Gaurav Kapoor, Chief Operating Officer, MetricStream
Richard Pike, Risk Principal, and Holly Spencer, Senior Regulatory Consultant, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services
David Ridgway, Global Head of operational risk, BlackRock
The trend towards unified governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management systems is the single biggest development in the operational risk and compliance market in recent years. As regulators push for more stringent reporting requirements, and risk and compliance issues come under far more scrutiny from inside and outside the company, a recent Operational Risk & Regulation survey revealed that half of all financial institutions surveyed had either already bought GRC software or were considering buying it in the next 12 months. Proponents point to the advantages of abolishing the silo-driven oversight structures and replacing them with a single method of monitoring operational risk across every business unit in the company – making regulatory compliance and internal monitoring of risk easier and more reliable, and saving the wasted time and money associated with the duplication of internal monitoring, oversight and reporting in different silos and departments. Compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act requirements alone makes a strong case for simplifying, streamlining and improving risk reporting for any company that comes under the Act – and the same is true for European insurers preparing to comply with the Solvency II capital adequacy regime.
But introducing a GRC system – like any other major software system – is a significant project, and financial institutions need to be sure it will provide the benefits it promises in terms of both regulatory compliance and improved internal risk management and reporting. No less importantly, they need to know the pitfalls to avoid if the installation is not to become a costly failure. And they need to avoid treating the introduction of a GRC system as a technological quick fix – without the human support, at every level of the company, the system will be costly and useless – but getting support for a structural change of this size is never going to be an easy task.
Can a GRC platform help firms meet the challenges posed by the Dodd-Frank Act?
Richard Pike and Holly Spencer, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services: In recent years, with increased regulatory requirements like Dodd-Frank, organisations have had to expend significant resources to address risk, scrutinise their controls and analyse their business from a top-down and bottom-up perspective. With the increased demand for transparency around risk from the government, regulators shifted the risk assessment process from a 'wait-and-see' approach to an integral part of an organisation's operational practices.
When done well, a GRC platform gives organisations the ability to identify, manage and mitigate internal and external risks to which they may be exposed, retrospectively or prospectively. Organisations with integrated GRC risk assessment processes are better positioned to capitalise on opportunities when they arise. Inevitably, this capability will help steer an organisation towards measurable, lasting success and longevity in today's ever-changing regulatory climate.
David Ridgway, BlackRock: This would represent, in my view, a very practical application of GRC – a major, multi-dimensional and, more importantly, business-critical project that requires multiple groups at the table, working effectively together. I fear that a problem with GRC at the moment is it is not yet operating at this practical level.
Gaurav Kapoor, MetricStream:At a broad level, the Dodd-Frank Act calls for greater public transparency, higher market accountability, enhanced disclosure, more robust risk management and increased oversight – this is the essence of GRC. A GRC platform that facilitates a federated structure will ensure GRC programmes are well-aligned centrally and also distributed to lines of business, thus promoting ownership and accountability. Moreover, a GRC platform can clearly link and identify key processes, functions, risks and controls associated with the Dodd-Frank Act and highlight gaps as well as overlaps with other regulations ensuring efficient and sustainable compliance. The MetricStream solution for regulatory compliance management, which is part of the GRC platform, provides a common framework and an integrated approach to managing all aspects of regulatory standards and guidelines, including the Dodd-Frank Act, with embedded content libraries. The solution includes functionality for regulatory compliance management, regulatory examinations, regulatory intelligence, and alerts and policy management. The solution also comes pre-packaged with regulatory content, industry standards and best practices.

He sleeps on the couch
It's a very short letter but I'm into it.
Q: I have a problem that I have been dealing with for years. My husband falls asleep on the couch every night. I have tried to tell him that he should come up to bed. That is where couples get close, and most couples I know sleep together.
What aggravates me most is that sometimes he will come up to bed in the morning only to try to "get together." This makes me feel used. He also prefers "alone time." I feel he takes the time to watch his "movies" but will not make the effort to come to bed. I feel unloved and unwanted.
– Unloved, Boston
A: Thought 1: Your husband joins you in the morning because he finds you attractive enough to want to be intimate with you. You are wanted in that sense, right? I'm feeling glass-half-full about that, Unloved.
Thought 2: Do you have a TV in your bedroom? I assume your husband falls asleep in front of the television. If he could watch TV in bed, he'd fall asleep next to you, right?
Thought 3: Do you snore? Does he? Is there something about his or your routine that makes him flee to the couch? Does he object to your bed time? It's worth asking.
Thought 4: Would a new bed help? Pricey, but worth it. Go shopping together. Debate pillow top and memory foam. Make it a romantic retail experience.
Thought 5: He's probably embarrassed about the movies. And I get why they make you feel bad. But we all have active fantasy lives. He might be more open with you if he knows he's not going to have to feel ashamed about his interests. Let him know that you just want to feel closer to him.
Thought 6: You're focused on the sleeping. He might show you love in other ways. Don't ignore those other ways.
Readers? Do married people have to sleep together? Anyone have trouble sleeping comfortably with their partner? Is his couch time about a need for alone time? Is that OK? How can the letter writer make her husband understand that mornings aren't enough? Discuss.

Brunswick county Republicans introduced their 2008 candidates to citizens today.
Candidates running for every office from Congress, to Governor to the County Board of Education attended the meeting at the brunswick county republican headquarters in Bolivia. They passed out information and spoke to the small crowd that attended. Gubernatorial candidate Fred Smith said it's important people know their representatives.
"I would ask that people get involved, find out who the candidates are," Smith said. "I think when we have an involved citizenry who checks the candidates out, checks the issues out, then we'll make the right decision as a state."
Smith hopes to replace current Governor Mike Easley, who's term will be up at the end of this year.

Great value! Kris from St Petersburg, FL– Verified Buyer We love our new nesting tables---they are "invisible", the perfect scale for small space living and can be used allover the home. One warning however, do not use them in a sunny area like a patio--the acrylic turns yellow as we found out the hard way. |
A modern and elegant solution, though small Stacy from Lady Lake, FL– Verified Buyer I love the design and finish of these tables - I got them in black and they add a nice art deco-ish feel to a room in our mid-century modern home. Definitely the look I was going for at an affordable price. The one note I would make is the tables are quite low to the ground- even the largest size. You will know this if you measured- I did not-:(- but they are designed so nicely I am keeping them anyway as they are certainly useful in specific locations. |
Acrylic Nesting Tables Customer from Springfield, MO– Verified Buyer Perfect for my small home. I have had them for a while now and they are easily moved and look good. They are not a piece of furniture but well worth the cost, provide areas for coffee, candles and a book. The sides at the bottom are not perfectly parallel but that is only because they are acrylic and are easily adjusted. I looked for quit a while before making a decision and I am glad to have settled on these. |
Great 3-piece tables! Rebecca from ROANOKE, VA– Verified Buyer I love these tables. They're sturdy and serve my purpose. I ordered them so I would have an 'invisible' place to put a mirror and tissues under my counter in the bathroom. They smaller ones were a bonus. Looked for just one and they were so expensive so I decided to try these. I found a place for the other two around the house. Great buy for the price. |
Product is exactly how described! Dianne from Colorado– Verified Buyer Tables are sturdy and are made very well. Be sure to take note of their height, as they are not tall enough to be your typical side table. Will be using one of them for an accent area that will house a plant. Looking to order another set! You won't be disappointed... |
Fun Acrylic Nesting Tables susan from duluth, GA– Verified Buyer These nesting tables are the perfect end tables for a teen room that my daughter just put together. They are such a great value. I had just purchased them for $237 from PBteen, and when I saw these, I returned the ones from PBTeen and bought these. They are the exact same. I compared them. They're exactly as the website describes. They're sturdy, fun and very functional. Highly recommend. |
Good products especially when you need a side table invisible Lan Woody from State College, PA Those are very sturdy and nice looking side tables. I used two nested ones together between our two recliners. They are almost invisible, so the room does not appear two crowded since we have a 10 ft sofa and two recliners side by side and two end tables, and a coffee table. I need a table to hold a glass of water, and some papers/mail, etc. This works perfectly. |
Excellent purchase! Linda from Marietta, GA– Verified Buyer These are really helpful additions to a living room. Can be separated or used to together depending on the need. The tables themselves clean easily and still look new after repeated use and cleanings. I love them! |
Ghost tables Dana Faughnan from Family room These petite nestig tables make for an easy go-to resting place for everyday items. I really enjoy how they don't add any weight to the rooms decor and allow you to use them functionally at a moments notice. |
Better than I expected LIN from BEMIDJI, MN– Verified Buyer I always think the transparent idea for furniture is great, but I have been holding back because I felt it might not be sturdy enough. I got those tables on sale, and they are better than I expected. Very well made, very sturdy. I feel like I can sit on them and them wont move. |

Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: DKNY
Fuzzy Mohair Sweaters, Tuxedo Striped Capes, and Graphic Lines Dominate DKNY's Fall 2011 Collection
>> Donna Karan created a highly graphic collection for her DKNY Fall 2011 collection seen earlier today in Chelsea in a brick-covered venue fitting for her city chic collection. Inspired by modernists in New York City, Karan envisioned fuzzy angora sweaters — made in bright hues and bold stripe patterns — houndstooth suits and skirts, wide-leg trousers, skinny pencil pants, and tailored coats. It was the details, like a recurring tux stripe detail or contrast color inserts, giving the collection a smart shot of modernity, youth, and a slight nod to the '70s.
Bright shots of red, pink, and henna came into play tempered with black, cream, navy, and shades of grey. Outerwear included sleek three-quarter length coats embellished with leather sleeve accents, knit and houndstooth padded jackets, which was Karan's remixed take on the classic puff coat, and the pièce de résistance: a black and cream tuxedo striped cape. For accessories, the designer highlighted ankle-braced Mary-Janes and cap-toe booties. And on the handbag front, mini cross-bady bags adorned with oversized tassels and tri-color satchels.

That happened a long time ago, but if I remember correctly it was a micro uzi and the kid was about 8 years old. I'm all for allowing kids to shoot and I think it's a great idea to introduce them to FA's to eliminate the curiousity, but there are some guns kids have no business shooting. A fully automatic weapon especially one like the micro uzi who has a reputation of being hard to hold onto should have never been in the hands of a child.
HUH WHAT? what the hell are you talking about. I have seen nothing in the news about any kids shooting himself. Links sources??????????????/
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
when i teach new people to guns to shoot they get a mag with exactly one round so that doesnt happen. the first round will go generally down range its panic follow up shots from fear, surprise, shock etc that get folks killed. never know how someone is going to react. the dad shoulda been punished for criminal stupidity. dunno whatever happened to him tho.
I saw it a couple of days ago. In the wake of the Tuscon tragedy, expect the hoplophobes to pull out all the stops. They will use anything they can find, from when Cain slew Abel to today. Anti-gun is anti-gun and never should common sense or the facts intrude.

"I loved that there were thank you cards that matched the invitation that I chose, however, I would have preferred to have a picture uploaded with it, and this particular invitation/thank you card set doesn't allow you to have a picture"
"I ordered this stationary for myself as a thank you I love the colors and the sweetness of the design. The card quality is lovely."
"I bought this for my mother in law, she´s a teacher and the design fit perfectly. These sets of 10 thank you cards are a perfect stocking stuffer."
"This is the cutest card ever!!! Such a beautiful use of Gold and Pink, which matched my daughter's party theme perfectly!!!"
"I am absolutely in love with these thank you cards. I was browsing the shower invitations while on the phone with my mom (she was ordering invitation) and I saw the one that matches these...it was my favorite. Well...I didn't need to order my own shower invitations but I followed the link to the matching thank you cards and found these. They are fabulous! The quality of the paper is excellent...nice and thick. The colors look exactly like the do online and all the printing came out wonderful. I LOVE the back of this card with the colored/patterned water drops...it's such a nice touch. I got the Kraft colored envelopes and they are a wonderful match...well worth the minor additional cost. I also ordered the matching address labels (which I love as well) and everything works together beautifully. I can't wait to order my birth announcements from this company...they truly have a wonderful product and I can't wait to start mailing out these thank you cards after my showers."

continued "We really appreciate their efforts," she added.
What excited Knights of Columbus members like Trombley was how their mission to do charitable work seemed to inspire others. Students from the Northeastern Clinton Central School District volunteered during the event, loading nonperishable donations into the two trailers that were eventually filled as a result of the drive.
"When we arrived we were greeted by several young people who were there because they wanted to be and were just as excited," said Trombley. "It was refreshing to see such enthusiasm in the whole group
However, one of the most moving moments for the Knights, said Trombley, was when a young girl from Chazy and her mother showed up at the collection drive after reading about the event in the newspaper the week before."
"On the second day of our food drive both she and her mother came to our table and informed us that instead of gifts for her 7th birthday party, she requested her guest bring at least one item for the food drive," said Trombley. "We helped unload a trunkload full of food and were impressed by this little girl's spirit of giving."
Trombley added he and his fellow council members thank the community and "our Canadian and Vermont friends for their overwhelming generosity" and Knights who gave "outstanding support of time, talent and monetary contributions."

It's international Students' day today. This day has a long history as well as impacts and scale of student movements. As some kind of intellectual nucleus these movements are often a source for fundamental changes.

In this sense students have called attention to political and social over time. And this will be the case for today.
