I was looking for a stable but good looking shoe for Europe's cobblestone streets and other uneven walking conditions. I was glad to see the stabilizing technology in this shoe. And I was glad to find the waterproof version of the Sugarpine performance shoe.

Comments about Sugarpine:
My sister lives in Bend OR and loves these shoes for waterproof dog walking in the wet snow. She recommended these shoes to me - I was looking for a waterproof dog walking shoe with good support (i.e. not just a rubber boot) for the rain in Seattle. I dog-walk on paved City sidewalks, up and down hills. My first trip out in the pouring rain going down a hill I almost killed myself slipping repeatedly - it felt like I was wearing a hard plastic tread that just skated across the top of the concrete. I have tried to "scuff" them up to see if I can gain traction in the rain. So now I am in a quandary - they are very comfortable, provide support, and WATERPROOF like I wanted, but I fear I will never be safe on wet City sidewalks which is where I want to wear them.

Celeborn and Galadriel

Battle of the Golden Wood, The: 22. An End Comes
They were but two day's ride from Dol Guldur when the first orc burst from cover before the startled noses of the leading horses. Running full pelt, looking behind itself as it tore the armour from its back in order to go faster, the snaga fled from some unseen peril straight into the elvish host. Its look of utter surprise was beyond price, and Oswy found himself grinning fiercely. Even so some of his people had looked when first they beheld Saruman's army coming upon them. See, he thought, How your deeds return to you, foul one!
The snaga hesitated, panting, leaning on its knuckles - its long arms trailed on the ground - aware of the scores of arrows turned its way. The forest seemed to draw its breath as the elves paused, reluctant to slay so pathetic a thing. It opened its mouth, tongue lolling out, eyes wide with terror. And then the bushes were flattened, bracken torn up, as a squad of Uruks trampled their way out of the undergrowth. They too were looking behind rather than before them, but their presence gave the snaga either courage or a more overriding fear. It raised its rusty, notched scimitar and leapt for Merethir's horse.
It died at once, pierced by three shafts, and the Uruks fell before Celeborn and his knights like wheat before the scythe. Then the Lord of Lorien raised his hand and signalled for quiet. It fell, absolute. Even the elven steeds stood motionless, neither snorting nor swishing their tails. Oswy's breathing became a loud matter, though he tried to muffle it behind his mailed glove.
No sound of bird broke Mirkwood's sullen silence. But distantly, as yet on the edge of hearing, though growing louder every second, there came a clamour. Oswy heard the ring of mail and sword, the harsh yelling of orcs and hissing of the huge spiders; elven battlecries, and - stirring something he had almost forgotten in him - the shouts of mortal Men. In return a fervour went through the host of Lorien, the knights sitting straighter, Erethon's archers lifting their heads, fire in their grey eyes. Then Celeborn laughed aloud. "Hear!" he said, "It is the army of Thranduil. He drives them before him, straight into us. Like a speck of dust between our two cymbals, we will clash on them and the wood will resound with the noise!"
"For Lorien! For the Lady" cried the host about him. But Celeborn said "No, not for Lorien alone, nor even for all Elvendom. For Middle-earth and the dawn of a new age."
Thus it was that when the forces of Lorien came racing like an ocean wave through the dark shadows of the wood of night, and burst upon the last orc host, every voice was raised in praise of sunrise and clean day. There the fighting was close and deadly. Trapped between two elvish armies the orcs were filled with rage and terror. Like a cornered boar, they fought, possessed with fell strength and killing madness. Unstoppable unless they be hacked in pieces. Many a merry elf died in that last of the battles of the Golden Wood. Still, the sun had barely passed the noontide when the glamhoth lay slaughtered, and the warriors of Lothlorien and Eryn Fuin found themselves facing one another over a pile of the slain.
It was a strange army, Oswy thought, that of Thranduil. Other than himself, Lorien's folk were all elves, moon-bright, sharp as lances, with the light of stars in their eyes. But Mirkwood's army had great, hulking Men - some clad only in paint - and bears who walked like Men, with human cunning in their faces. Men, little different from the Rohirrim, there were also, armoured like woodsmen in heavy leather, billhooks and adzes and a motley of other gleaned weapons in their hard hands.
Oswy found it unsettling to be among Men again. For a moment he saw them as an elf might - noisy, clumsy, but full of swift impatient life and bearing their own strong beauty. A tug of homesickness came over him briefly, all the sharper because he had pledged himself to an elven Lord.
Taking Merethir with him, and Ardil with the mallorn banner of Lorien, and Oswy with Thingol's device, Celeborn rode into the space between the two forces and waited. Ere long, there came from the host of Mirkwood an Elven King with his herald and his banner-bearers. He was arrayed for battle in armour of an ancient make, and his cloak was green, though much bespattered with blood. Helmless he was, his gleaming, golden hair crowned with mayblossom and catkins. A necklace of emeralds shone verdant about his throat, and his scabbard was wrought with many gems, carved in the shape of fresh green leaves. Glad and fair was his face - as kindly, and yet as fierce at need, as the sun of high summer. Thranduil, King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. Mighty among the Firstborn in these later days.
There seemed a resemblance in the looks of the two elvish rulers, as though at several generations remove they might share a common forefather. But not as friends did they ride slowly together, rather with the wary faces of those who have once been at odds, and wonder if trust is possible again. Wondering at it, Oswy was aware of the unease of the elves of Lorien behind him, and before him he saw the forces of Eryn Fuin stiffen slightly, their expressions closed.
Then Thranduil dismounted. Swiftly, Celeborn followed suit, his axe left in its mount on his saddle. "Cousin," he said, quietly.
Thranduil inclined his head, his lips turning up slightly, "Kinsman."
At that they embraced, gold against silver, as though the sun shone upon snow, and what began as a formal gesture became, half way through, something of a grudging hug.
Both armies relaxed at once, and long sundered friends on either side signalled to one another, waving.
"A star shines on our meeting," said Thranduil, stepping back, "You came to rescue me?"
"To aid, certainly," Celeborn smiled, "We have been hard pressed, and I wished not to waste time sending messengers when I might go myself. Better to come where I am not needed than arrive too late where I am."
Thranduil made as if to speak, but at the last, with a look of great self-restraint, he closed his mouth and motioned to his army. There came out from its ranks a mighty Man, thrawn and tall. His hair and beard were white with age, but no sign of frailty lay in the bare shoulders under his tunic of simple wool. With him came a second man, in raiment of boiled leather, incised with small birds. Blond as a Rohirrim, he was, and he looked on Oswy with surprise and concern. "This is Grimbeorn the Old, Lord of the Beornings. And Ulf of the Greenwood. My friends and allies, this is Celeborn, Lord of the golden land of Lothlorien."
Oswy was at first indignant, and then amused at his own change of heart, when he saw the looks of suspicion which went through the faces of the Woodmen at this introduction. They seemed to dwell happily enough beside the elves of Mirkwood - who, to Oswy's eye, looked little different from the Galadhrim - but they quailed at the name of the Golden Wood. Many were the Men in Thranduil's ranks who looked anew at Celeborn with fear, and stepped back.
Ulf was not one. He grinned - a gape of broken teeth behind his sandy beard. But there seemed little warm about the smile. It was a challenge, rather. "There is one among your company who is no elf, Lord of Lorien," he said, a hint of accusation in his rasping tenor voice, "Though he is clad and shod and mounted as one. How comes he here? I understood the borders of your land were closed to those not of your kind."
"I turn no one away who is in need," said Celeborn, mildly, "Though it is true we have not had open dealings with the world outside for many years. That may now change, as we see fit." He beckoned Oswy forward, and - understanding, suddenly, that Ulf feared him ensorcelled, kept in Lorien against his will - he came in his own time, looked Ulf in the eye proudly. "This is Oswy Edhellon, Lord of the Oshelmingas of Rohan, who offered his service to me in this time of war. He is held by no spell stronger than his word, and he may depart at any time with my blessing."
"Lord Ulf?" Oswy glared unkindly upon the Man, and endured a raking gaze which searched him for signs of enchantment, dropped, puzzled, when none were to be found.
"Ah," said Ulf, looking doubtful, "Well, perhaps not all tales are true. But if not, you will not mind me speaking at more length with the boy, in company of other Men?"
"This is neither time nor place for your folly, Man of Greenwood," said Celeborn, with a narrowing of the eyes that made those around him breathe softer. "I return now to Amon Lanc. If you wish to have further speech with Lord Oswy you must come there."
He turned to Thranduil - who had been watching this exchange with a bland, polite expression, and a lurking hint of humour in his bright eyes. "Dol Guldur is taken, though for now it still stands. Will you not accompany us and watch it fall?"
"For many hundred years I have yearned for such a sight," said Thranduil, suddenly fierce, "And grievous are the wounds its spawn inflicted upon my realm in these past days. Gladly will I go with you to witness its ruin." He smiled - a brief flash, like light from the facet of a gem - "Even if it means encountering your Lady wife once more."
"Thranduil," said Celeborn, "We have only just begun speaking again. Let this not be the shortest truce in Eldarin memory."
Many orders were given, and the greater part of Thranduil's force departed Northwards. Then Grimbeorn bid the elves farewell. "I have no care for stones," he said, "Be they in towers or heaps. But the bees are humming in the meadows of my folk, and there is much to put right. A good fight, my Lords, but may it be the last in my lifetime!" Then he put his axe over his shoulder and strode away Westwards, towards the mountains. His folk, man and beast alike, went with him, a shuffle of bent backs and silent strength, he among them - in the shadow - seeming neither Man nor Bear, but both at once, grizzled and formidable.
Ulf, however, spurred his mount until he was riding beside Oswy. A company of his followers fell in behind him and mingled with the elves of Lorien, apparently at ease, though their backs were very tense. "Speak freely to me," said Ulf softly, "Are you truly here by your own will? You are but a child, and..."
"You ask me to speak freely?" Oswy would hear no more. He doubted that Ulf had faced down a Nazgul, or come unscathed through the dread sorcery of one of the Enemy's rings, or saved the life of a king. He was no child! "Then I will speak. Am I ensorcelled? Only as any man of good heart might be who sees something wondrous, and rare, and doomed. Look at them, Ulf, and tell me you do not feel it too! Ill fortune, I thought it, to be trapped between orcs and the Golden Wood, but now I am glad, for I have seen a beauty few men can look on and then live without." He shook his head, as a horse shakes off taunting flies, and despaired of trying to explain. "If you have seen them, and you still do not understand, then you never will. But I take it ill of you to doubt my Lord's word, and I will prove his truth on your body with my sword - if you carry on."
At that Ulf laughed, unabashed. He flung up a hand "Enough! I do not call him a liar. My only desire was to set you free - if you were captive - and to bring you back among your own kind. But I am glad the endeavour is not needed."
Ulf's black cob nickered gently as the host turned back towards Dol Guldur, and its rider looked approvingly on the forest about him. Already it seemed less diseased, even to Oswy's plains-trained eye. He could imagine the improvement was all the more obvious to the woodsman. And only then, looking at the sudden, astonishing change from coal to chestnut in the boles of the trees, seeing a glimmer of new buds where there had swung the sucked-dry, skeletal prey of spiders, did Oswy realize how much he had begun to take for granted the magic of the elves. He had begun to see it with the eyes of the Galadhrim, as nothing more than the way the world was. Yet had he looked upon it as one of his countrymen might, would he not too have been afraid?
"I do understand," said Ulf, quietly, "I am from Rohan myself - from the Westfold. My folk have long had trading links with the Woodmen, and one night - bringing good beef of the Mark to exchange for timber - I heard the elves of Mirkwood singing in the distance. Then I could not go home. I could not bear to think I would never hear it again." He smiled wryly, "So I settled among the woodmen, and have a wife here - the daughter of the headman - and two sons, thankfully too young to fight. I dwell among my own people, but I can go and see Thranduil's folk whenever I will, and I count myself the luckiest man in Middle earth."
"Then why...?"
"Because the songs of Rohan have no evil to speak of Mirkwood. Lorien is the Land of Peril - the Wood of the Witch-Queen, where the sorceress sits weaving her webs of spells. Who knows what the elves of that land are like. Terrible, I deem!"
Only a few short months ago, Oswy knew he would have nodded in sage agreement to this. Somehow that made it all the worse. "The Lady Galadriel is my Lord's wife," he said coldly, "And I will not have her spoken of thus. Ere long, if you come with us to Dol Guldur, you will see her with your own eyes. You will know then that she is a no Sorceress, but a Lady, high and brave and fair as the sunrise."
"If so, then I will hold myself rebuked," said Ulf smiling, "And look! I knew not that Lorien had a Lord - he is not in the songs. I am as willing to be proved wrong about your Lady. I own I am curious to see her. But now remember that I spoke out of ignorance, and let us be friends, for you are doughty and loyal, and I wish you well."
Afternoon sun shone slanting into the clearing and onto the bleak hill of Amon Lanc. Then many cankers in the treetops were touched with honey coloured light and withered or broke away, leaving smooth bark that glowed with subtle browns, or glossy silken grey. It was in this time of golden sun that the sound of Lady Galadriel's party came first to the tents of the encampment. Newly returned himself, Oswy stood beside the pavilion in which Thranduil and Celeborn sat, speaking softly as they exchanged their tales of war. Ulf sat beside him, and they watched together as the riding of Lorien's maidens came into view.
White was Galadriel's palfrey and golden were the bells upon its bridle, and they rang soft and sweet. Her hair was a crown upon her head, deeply gold as the sunshine, and her mantle was as cloud, edged with small flowers of elanor. Upon her pale brow and upon the ladies who followed her a light seemed to dwell, otherworldly, and a glister of pearl drifted about the hems of their dresses, their horse's polished hooves.
"Ahh..." said Ulf, and smiled. But Oswy's gaze did not linger on the Lady, it was drawn to the one woman in that riding. Leofwyn sat among the maidens of the Galadhrim, and looked well there. Proud and tall, warlike and not at all out of place, she seemed. Like a shield maiden in tales of old, archaic and splendid. Some of the Lady's power, perhaps, spilled over Leofwyn and showed not illusion, but the truth of her inner strength.
Then Galadriel dismounted, giving her reins to Rumil of Lorien, and the elven Lords rose and went to her. Oswy followed, keeping to his Lord's left - though he much desired to run to Leofwyn rather and find out from her how his people fared. There would be time for that later.
"Thranduil Oropherion," Galadriel smiled upon the King of Northern Mirkwood with a smile of great charm, "I am glad to meet once more my husband's kinsman. Too long has the silence lain between us."
She turned almost reluctantly to Celeborn, looked in his face as though she hoped to see the answer to many unspoken questions there. But if she found answers, she said nothing. At her gravity and her questing gaze his open look of welcome faltered a little, and he frowned. "I bid Thranduil be present as he has suffered most and warred longest with this place, and has a right to watch it fall."
"You have great faith in my abilities, my Lord," said Galadriel, and if her voice was teasing, her eyes were full of doubts and rebuke, "Though you know them to be diminished. I had not thought to have an audience for this."
"I am no 'audience'," Thranduil bridled, "Have I not been at war with Dol Guldur five, nay five hundred times longer than you have, and with no power but the strength of my arm..."
"Peace," said Celeborn, and drew a hand through his hair in seeming weariness. "My Lady, you were the most powerful of all elves in Middle Earth long ere the Ring came to you, you were the strongest while you bore it, and you are still the strongest. I have no doubt you will bring down these walls as easily as I might crumble a handful of dried leaves." He sighed. "And Cousin, try not to look for insult where there was none intended. Just for this short time may we tear the works of the enemy and not each other?"
At that the Lady laughed quietly. Then, walking a little apart she turned her face to the tower. She was still a moment, facing it, glimmering in its gloom like a slender lily at the foot of a mountain. Then she raised her arms, holding the sunshine in her open palms, and she began to sing. Dark and sweet was her voice as pouring honey, and as honey the words seemed to fall from her mouth - heavy, golden, with a power almost visible, curling about the base of the black stones of Dol Guldur; seeping down into its hidden dungeons, rising upon its walls as the deep yellow light which comes before a storm.
A wind sprang up, and the treetops tossed, dust showering from the withered leaves. A dark autumn came with a skirl of soot and fume upon cold air. Dead leaves fell and for the first time in many a century the sky was visible from beneath the trees. A bare winter descended upon the forest. Branches whipped against the sky and shed dirt like a rain of shadow. Galadriel sang on, and her voice strengthened - clear and sweet and dreadful as the notes of glass. It rang in Oswy's head and through his blood, and all his bones were shaken as water. He fell to his knees and clasped his hands over his ears just as the sound - a high, pure, yearning, unendurable sound - was answered.
Dol Guldur spoke. Its stones groaned. Its voice cried out from the walls - a hollow roaring, deeper than the foundations of the earth. And the earth replied. At first only a tremor Oswy could hardly distinguish from his own, the ground began ere long to ripple, and then to buck like an unbroken colt. Still Galadriel sang, the light upon her like the radiance of another world. Stronger yet streamed the melody of power from her lips.
Upon the battlements of the Dark Tower Merethir's company had trained its own devices, hurling stones and treetrunks against them. There were there some small scars, some few splintered stones, the result of all his fury. But now, beneath the song of the Lady of Lorien, those scars opened. Splinters became fissures, cracks became chasms, running like lightning from the clawlike turrets to the squat, immovable base, and down, further. Caves and corridors beneath the earth began to collapse. The tower thrashed like a tree in a tempest, and the dead power that kept one stone upon the next was scoured away. Masonry began to fall; arrhythmic, and the harsh, booming roar of the song of Dol Guldur strove with the terrible sweetness of Galadriel's.
Then the earth rose and opened. Oswy cried out in terror as the world tilted and a pit gaped beneath the foot of the tower. Cold was the smell of that abyss, dank and chill as a world of buried things - air sighed from it and stroked his shuddering hands with a clammy mist. "Bema! Oh Bema!" he cried, scarcely knowing what he said, aware in some small, resentful corner of his soul that he was not the only Man on his knees. There was scarcely one standing. But the elves were upright and their faces were turned to the tower, and in their eyes was something utterly strange. Something he neither knew nor wanted to understand; fey and furious and full of joy.
A moment of balance. Oswy felt as though a nail of ice were being slowly drawn through his eye; he could scarce breathe or think for the aweful, dreadful beauty of Galadriel's song. A vein burst in his nose and blood flowed and spattered on the silver-grey steel of his mail. He tossed his head, trying to make the sound go away, and at that moment the first wall slid like a slope of scree down into the pit. The air was filled with choking dust, and small falling stones, and - from some vault now burst apart - a rain of ill made pewter coins bearing the device of the lidless Eye.
Darkness ate itself. Now that the first wall had fallen the others followed swiftly - the ground gaping for them, closing in upon them, over them, crushing and burying them. There was an edge of triumph to the Lady's voice now - vindicated, perhaps even relieved. Oswy looked up to see Thranduil and Celeborn standing very straight among the tempest of falling boulders, with their eyes shining.
At last, after a time that seemed very long to Oswy, there was nothing more of Dol Guldur to fall. The shaking earth had consumed it all, and now it stilled. The armies of Lorien and Eryn Fuin stood upon a bare round hill, and the westering sun shone unobscured upon a scatter of loose stones and a scar of new-turned soil.
He shook himself, hardly able to believe what had happened. Awed and terrified almost out of his senses. Had not a fortress stood there only this morning, that now was completely unmade? He struggled to his feet and stood, swaying, leaning on Thingol's banner as a prop, and oddly, irreverently, the thought came to him that he should be thankful that he had made no wager with Ulf on the matter of the Lady's Sorcery.
As the tower fell, Celeborn fought the urge to laugh in sheer delight - the power and the music of Galadriel curled about him like a storm, and he felt like a mariner, in a small boat, running before the tempest. This was his lady - unaccompanied, unmuffled, unchanged by the cold white voice of arcane craft in the form of a worthless ring. She needed it not. She never had. And surely now she would see it.
The ground shook and he rode it, exalting. Other men sought out danger on the untamed ocean, threw themselves at foes too great for them in battle, sought out the thrills of speed and danger and death, but he, he had wed the elemental force, and brought the storm home to live with him. Where other men saw something to fear, he saw only her splendour, and Oh, how he loved her for it!
Dol Guldur was fallen, and the place where it had stood smoothed over. Galadriel muffled a cough behind her hand and sighed, her proud head drooping a little. Then she raised her arms once more and began to sing of springtime, as though she would clothe the bare hill with green grass. Celeborn's heart leapt at the thought that she would turn her mind to new growth; to a future here in Middle-earth. Surely this was victory, and her strength had returned? Might not the sea-longing itself have abated in her, now that Nenya - the cause of that ailment - was no longer? Might not things now return to how they had been, without it? He breathed in a clean air, prepared himself to welcome happiness.
But Thranduil stepped forward, and caught Galadriel's sleeve, his face dark. "No," he said, "Of destruction you may sing - for destruction you have brought on many a realm. But you will not sing of beginnings or times to come. I will not have your curse rest upon my wood. Eryn Lasgalen will not come to ruin because of you."
At that, Celeborn's heartbeat faltered, and he looked to her, awaiting her anger - praying for her anger. The Galadriel he knew would let no one speak to her thus, king or no. But instead of the biting rage he hoped for - the stare that would have intimidated a Balrog, the flash of a haughty and imperious spirit - she lowered her hands, and looked in Thranduil's face with eyes full of resignation, and defeat. She said nothing, but turned and walked away.
Then Celeborn felt as Dol Guldur must have felt when the pit opened up beneath it. The foundations of his world were broken and cast into darkness, all the more bitter because he knew that he had built them on false hope, deluding himself. In pain, he took hold of Thranduil and spun him about. "There is no curse!" he cried; not sure to whom he spoke - his kinsman, or his wife's retreating back - "All things come to ruin! Every ancient oak in the forest must fall in its time - it is the way of this world."
Did he speak to Thranduil or to himself? In desperation? In folly? Or in truth? "You pick up the seeds, you take them somewhere else, you plant anew. It grows again, young and fresh. That is the way of things in Ennor! It is the way things are. It is no curse!"
But Thranduil seemed unmoved. He gave a small, bitter laugh, though his gaze was not without pity. "You have to think that, cousin. You married her. I did not, and I do not have to take that chance."

Getting Enough Sleep
In This Article:
When Your Children Are Little
If you've got a baby or toddler, these steps should help you get more sleep:
Ask Dad. There's no good reason why a father shouldn't cover a significant portion of the nighttime parenting - half, if possible. Apart from breast-feeding, a father can feed, walk, or settle a baby just as well as a mother can.
Unfortunately, some dads try to make the case that they have to function at work so they should be let off the hook at night. But you also have to function during the day. If you work for pay, your job performance matters as much as his does, and if you stay home, your hours are probably more stressful than his are. Besides, the stakes in any day of parenting - the mind and heart of a precious child - are usually more significant than whatever is on the table at work. Twenty years from now, those projects and career moves will be long forgotten, but a happy and productive person will be walking the earth, thanks to all the caring - and well-rested! - attention his parents were able to give him. So, if anything, you need more sleep than your partner does.
If he doesn't understand this on his own, your best chance of getting your message across lies in feeling clear in your heart that he should pull his weight at night, and making your case in a serious and determined way. If he still won't help, that suggests larger problems.
Sleep when the baby does. If you are staying home from work, do your best to sleep when the baby does during the day. You may need someone to watch any older children. It may also mean cutting back on housework for a few months, but your sleep is more important than a tidy home!
Consider shifting the father's sleep schedule. Sometimes the solutions are a lot easier than we think; they just take a little flexibility and a willingness to try something new. For example, when their kids were little, Rick started going to bed early with Jan and them, and then got up at 4 or 5 a.m. to work or study. This helped Jan get to sleep soon enough to survive nighttime parenting, and it gave Rick and her time in bed with each other.
Ask your partner to take the baby in the early morning. You could get more sleep while Dad can spend more time with his child. Kids are often at their best first thing in the morning; even so, your husband may get some eye-opening experiences with what its like to try to accomplish anything while tending to young children, which could help him understand better why the house isn't always picked up. After an hour or two, the baby might be ready for a nap with Mommy, letting you have a really long stretch of dozing or sleep. Again, this will take some arranging, but its often a pretty simple change.
Tailor sleeping arrangements to the unique needs of your family. It's common to feel pressured to take the advice of experts or other parents on sleeping arrangements, but what's important is to choose a method that feels right to you and your partner. Each of the main approaches - baby in the parents' bedroom ("cosleeping") or down the hall - has its pluses and minuses. Cosleeping worked for Jan and Rick's family for years, yet Ricki found that both she and her daughter got more rest once Leah was sleeping sweetly in her own room. Let's briefly review the pros and cons of each approach (you can skip ahead if you've already made up your mind).
From the child's standpoint, cosleeping is usually the most desirable option. During our evolutionary history, youngsters who strayed at night risked being attacked by predators. Consequently, it's natural for young children to protest intensely when they are made to sleep by themselves, and for their parents to feel uneasy if they can't hear their child's breathing. Studies have found that cosleeping is associated with children who are more likely to sleep better, be less fearful, handle stress well, behave in school, and be independent. There are also practical advantages. Parents often do not have to rouse themselves as much at night; many mothers barely wake if they roll over to nurse a baby, and their partner can sometimes keep sleeping. And one study found that the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in cosleeping arrangements was one-fourth as likely as down-the-hall arrangements, when obvious risks were avoided (e.g., parental obesity, use of tobacco, abuse of drugs or alcohol, soft mattresses, or blankets that could be pulled over the baby's head).
On the other hand, having a child sleep in her own room may enable her to rest better if one of her parents snores. Mom and Dad will be awakened less often themselves by a child's gurgling, coughing, and snoring. A mother and father have the need and the right to get sufficient sleep, and even if one were to focus strictly on the child, it benefits her to have well-rested parents. There is also more time for parents to talk and snuggle together alone, and more easy opportunities for lovemaking; moving the child out of the bedroom can be a kind of statement for the couple that their marriage has important parts to it besides raising kids.
The bottom line is that a particular arrangement may work for one child but not her brother, or for a parent at one time but not another. It's also important to consider the context in which sleeping occurs: other children, number of bedrooms, jobs, parental illness, and so on. You may be able to adjust one of those external factors, such as work hours, in order to have the sleeping option you'd like most, or you may realize that you have to live with a less-preferred sleeping arrangement for the sake of the greater good of your family and yourself. Your best guide is your own instinct and intuition, and don't let anyone - whether a know-it-all relative or a well-intentioned professional - talk you out of your deepest sense of what you, your child, and your family need. Nor is there any call to feel guilty: you will have thoroughly considered your options and made the best possible choice you could. Please see the boxes for tips on making either arrangement work for you.

- 1-1/2 cups, 1% milk
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tsp. cornstarch or tapioca starch
- 4 oz. 2% sharp cheddar cheese (get the block and grate 1 cup full. That's about 4 oz.)
- 2 cups dry, penne whole wheat pasta
Whisk together the milk, egg whites and cornstarch in your slow cooker insert. Be sure to whisk well.
Stir in the grated cheese and pasta shells.
Cook on low for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
After the first hour, stir the food on a semi regular basis. About every 15 minutes or so. This will do 2 things.
1) It will allow the pasta to cook evenly.
2) It will allow you to keep any eye on the pasta and see when it's done. Every slow cooker is different, so the timing for this recipe may be slightly different on this for you. Pasta goes from "cooked" to "mush" very quickly. So be sure to keep stirring on occasion to keep an eye on things.
This was made in a 3 quart slow cooker. Should you wish to double the recipe, double everything except the cornstarch (use 1 tbsp.) and cook in a 4 or 5 quart slow cooker (we used a 5 quart for doubling the recipe). Time and temp does not change when doubling the recipe.
Also, if doubling the milk, you will most likely end up with extra sauce. This sauce is wonderful over a side of veggies.
For a crispier top, place under broiler oven for 3-5 minutes.
Note: We recommend penne pasta with this slow cooker version. Smaller shells don't hold up well in the slow cooker.

So this is where the trolls have all gone!
So this is where the trolls have all gone!
I would like to say, that my choice for next laptop four months ago was Intel + ATI! And this was due to nVidia not solving power management problems with my previous laptop. I had really hard time with them, especially powermizer not changing levels fast enough but mainly this was due to stupid beeps, long waits when resuming from hibernate. More then 2 minutes were spent just on nothing, laptop was dead not doing anything - black screen, no HDD leds blinking and it beeps 3 times in between for no reason, kernel logs were reporting some spinlocks or so... And that was happening for period of 2 years. I had written long posts on nvnews, tried countless workarounds and nothing helped till the day I just received this new laptop with ATI, the lucky day
And guess what, no problems with powermizer, no problems with power management at all, hibernates are fast, suspend works, opengl is good, multiple monitors works, everything I need JUST WORKS like a charm! I would never go back to nVidia for laptop unless they show me that there are no problems with PM and proove me that ATI sucks
One thing that doesn't work for me is fast user switching, it just dies when second session is logged out
So, please get patches and don't act like trolls...
Also, I'm kinda lucky using ArchLinux, as there is AUR which does build catalyst with patches for me, I don't have to do anything by hand
I wish ATI to continue improving things...
if you are such a noob that you can not follow the threads and postings everywhere that you have to patch something, you are too much of a noob to use anything but a distro kernel.
Grab and run http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh to avoid worrying about these issues, but you have to be running (preferably) Kanotix, or Debian, or Ubuntu. It might work on derivatives like Mint, too. AFAIK it's tested to some degree on Kanotix and the latest release of Ubuntu.
Note: the above script is by Phoronix member "Kano", who afaik is the lead developer of the Kanotix distro. Although he is vocal about many valid problems with fglrx, he also seems to have a great system in place for hacking the driver's open source bits to work with new kernels and userspaces. This is really a great thing, that we have someone making it easy for the rest of us.
Why is it the Nvidia installer never stuffs up and can cope with anything newer than a 2.6.28 kernel without having to screw around with patches, oh that's right, only noobs use installers that work, the elitists enjoy creating symlinks in the kernel source tree to make things backwards compatible with the fglrx source code and having to apply community developed patches to get a driver developed by a huge corporation to actually install properly.
i want to make one thing clear, the actual ati drivers *when* installed work well and the performance is great. thats not where my issue is with ati, it's with their installer+kernel module. They are really letting themselves down with the way things are at the moment.
AMD appears to be a strictly amateur hour operation, and they still don't get it that you can have great hw but if your drivers suck know will know or care excepting a few fanbois.
This is why I'll NEVER buy another AMD product, well maybe CPUs if they get their ---- together on per-core performance o.w. I'm perfectly willing to stick to nVidia and Intel.
Just for lulz, remember a few years ago when the AMD fanbois were laughing their ---es off at Intel for pushing core clock rates? Now who's pushing them? (I actually owned AMD CPUs at this time just because they had a superior per-core performance over then Pentium variations, i.e. pre-Core.)
Why? While most modern notebook you can use various MXM GPU card you will also likely need a new heatsink mfg/ODM MAY have them o.w. you'll need to fabricate one. Also MXM GPUs are incredibly expensive for what they are.

Tired and stressed? Join the club. Forty percent of Americans report having some symptoms of insomnia within a given year, according to the National Sleep Foundation. And it doesn't matter whether your shut-eye is being hampered by a time change, a stressful job or some other problem in your life, being tired sucks, and it can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease and depression. But before you reach for the latest prescription drug, reach for your fork—or, at the very least, your shopping list. Revamping your diet can go a long way towards improving your sleep quality, provided you opt for foods rich in the right sleep-inducing ingredients.
In one small study, participants drank eight ounces of tart cherry juice in the morning, and another eight ounces in the evening, for two weeks and reported better sleeping habits. Why does it work? All varieties of cherries are naturally high in melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy. Eat a cup of whole cherries as a late-night snack if you'd rather not drink juice.
Fish are rich in tryptophan, a natural sedative, with shrimp, cod, tuna and halibut having the highest levels, even more than turkey. But since not all seafood choices are healthy (some are high in contaminants) or for the planet (many are overfished, or methods for catching them kill other species), stick to catches like Pacific cod from Alaska or pole-caught Albacore tuna from the U.S. or British Columbia.
Too Much for a Bedtime Snack?
Grilled Jalapeño Tuna Bruschetta
Lemon Balm
This lemon-scented member of the mint family has been a sleep-inducing superstar for ages, but it seems to be most effective in combination with another herb called valerian. In one study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research, 81 percent of people with minor sleep problems who took a combination of the herbs reported sleeping better than people on a placebo. Both can be purchased as supplements, or you can make a tea by steeping 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried lemon balm and 1 teaspoon of valerian root in 1 cup of hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. (If you take other medications, though, ask a doctor or pharmacist about any potential herb-drug interactions.)
Grow It:
How to Care for Mint
Another herb that works as well as lemon balm, chamomile has been used as an herbal remedy for insomnia for thousands of years. In one animal study, it calmed down mice as effectively as tranquilizers, and in the only human study to study the effectiveness of chamomile, the herb reduced mild to moderate generalized anxiety disorder much better than placebo. Ready-made chamomile teas are sold in every supermarket, so it's an easy remedy to get your hands on.
Dig Deeper:
The Science of Herbal Tea
These perfectly snack-sized superfruits are packed with potassium and magnesium, two minerals that promote muscle relaxation. In fact, magnesium deficiencies are related to restless leg syndrome and nighttime muscle cramps, two conditions that can certainly interfere with your sleep. Make it a goal to eat one banana a day to see if that helps your sleep problems.
In addition to being rich in potassium and magnesium, spinach is high in calcium, yet one more mineral that plays a role in sleep. Calcium helps the body generate melatonin, the hormone that helps your body maintain its circadian rhythm. You can get the same benefits from other dark leafy greens, such as Swiss chard, kale, turnip greens and collard greens.
Like spinach, dairy products are rich in melatonin-boosting calcium, and a number of studies are finding that calcium deficiencies are linked to poor sleep quality. So there may be something to that old adage that a glass of warm milk will help you sleep, after all!
Take a Tour of an Organic Dairy Farm.
They're full of magnesium and yet another source of calcium. You can eat a handful of almonds or spread some almond-butter on a piece of whole grain bread, which will help you get to sleep for another reason (keep reading).
Try This:
Awesome Almond Smoothie
Carb/Protein Combos
There's some debate as to how well your body handles tryptophan, and a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that getting it from high-protein foods can work against you, because protein can prevent tryptophan from entering your brain. But when you combine high-protein foods with carbs, the insulin your body produces in response to the carbs makes it easier for tryptophan to break through your brain's barriers. So think oatmeal with bananas and almonds, for a real sleepy snack, or whole-grain cereal with organic milk.

How to Select
Choosing a Wall Dimmer
Almost every house or office has a variety of electrical plates. The market is filled with a wide range of electrical plates. Each plate has a specific purpose. An average homeowner should have a basic understanding of how each of these devices can serve your needs. In a majority of cases, wall switch and wall dimmer replacement is quite easy to install.
Basic Information on Wall Dimmers
Light dimmers have gained great popularity over the past decades.
- Thanks to the extensive energy saving features of wall dimmers, the light dimmer switches conserve the electricity.
- A homeowner has to pay less for energy use, saving a bundle.
- The wall dimmers are rather inexpensive.
- You can easily purchase them online from our store at WestsideWholesale.com and have your order delivered fast and free.
- Besides excellent energy saving features, light dimmers are able to create a certain atmosphere of relaxation and contentment.
- The wall dimmers in particular are able to adjust the level of lighting brightness.
As a result, a regular light switch that is only capable of turning the lights on and off, can be easily replaced with effective wall dimmer.
Wall Dimmer Installation Steps
- Shut the power off, using the circuit breaker.
- Proceed with existing light fixture removal. Extract 2 basic screws. It is best done with a Philips head screwdriver and put the screws to a safe place.
- The light fixture is removed with the help of extracting the two mounting screws. They hold the metal wall box inside.
- Also, on the top and below part of the light switch assembly, there is a screw. Extract and save it as well.
- Then pull the light switch assembly; use gentle moves.
- Move it to one side in order to expose the electrical wires. Keep them connected to the switch.
- Write down which wire is connected to which terminal.
- Disconnect old wires from wiring post. Proceed with attachment of the wires to the light dimmer posts.
- Insert the wall dimmer into the metal wall box assembly.
- Remove the dimmer control knob.
A customer can handle wall dimmer installation with basic DIY capabilities. The wall dimmer handling and installation are very similar to traditional electrical plate's installation. We have to warn you that working with electrical outlets is not safe. That is why you should do all necessary precaution measures to keep yourself safe and happy. So, if you have an experience of handling the electrical outlet in the past, you will easily install a newly purchased wall dimmer at your house.

Chinese Vegetable Recipe (Choy Sum)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
Vegetables are healthy and great, but they are boring and hard to cook. Unlike protein (such as meat or fish), vegetables don't have much flavor. In Chinese cooking, the key to cooking vegetable dishes lies in the creative use of side ingredients and sauces to bring out the taste and texture of vegetables.
Chinese love leafy greens: choy sum, kai lan, bok choy, gai choy, etc. In everyday Chinese meal, there is always a vegetable dish to complement other main dishes. In Chinese or Cantonese restaurants, Chinese vegetables are often served two ways: brown sauce (flavored with oyster sauce) or white sauce–a cooking style I am sharing with you today.
I used choy sum (菜心/油菜心) for this recipe–a very typical Chinese vegetable that you can get in any Asian stores. Choy sum is great with oyster sauce, but an occasional white sauce is awesome, too.
If you love Chinese recipes and wish to learn more about cooking vegetables, do master this Chinese vegetable recipe as it's very versatile and goes well with most Chinese leafy greens.
Here is my recipe for choy sum with white sauce. Bon appetit!

I have not cooked any Chinese vegetable with white sauce! I must give this a try!
Mrs. Engui – yes, you should try out this white sauce. Sometimes, brown sauce gets old and boring, so try this recipe out. :)
Thank you for sharing your recipes. My husband loves the vegetable dishes we get at our local market and always wonders how they make the white sauce. I will surprise him this weekend when I make this for him. Such vibrant colors!!!
Looks great! I love choy sum… and gai lan… and on choy… and bok choy…. I think the trick with veggies is not to overcook them. This is also great with some browned garlic and fish sauce with a squeeze of lime..
I find it hard to cook greens. They either get undercooked or overdone in my wok ! When there is Choy Sum in my grocery bag, I usually make Choy Sum soup with fish balls. Choy Sum is a popular vegetable dish because the Chinese believe it is not a 'windy' food. Neither is is 'heaty' nor 'cold'. That's why invalids and mothers in confinement can include Choy Sum in their menu.
June – thanks for your information about choy sum being a great vegetable. I will bear that in mind. :)
Looks healthy.. Must try this.. Thansk for your post.
Look healty.. Must try this.. Thanks for your post.
Choy sum was the first Chinese green I fell in love with; it's always available at the market, when some others are not, and occasionally I find it at my regular grocery store, too.
I am confused…I'm trying to educate myself with chinese vegetables. Does choy sum look similar to bok choy? do they taste similar? I'm going to the Asian store this weekend for serious shopping.
Veron – no, choy sum is not bok choy. Here is how it looks: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_34/1134892618l6fan1.jpg
love everything u did, but this one is a little lazy no?
Suresh – what do you mean by lazy? Cooking is a chore, sharing a recipe with others is certainly not lazy as you think. This Chinese vegetable recipe is a simple and healthy recipe, not lazy.
I need a bowl of white rice now!!!! So hungry after seeing your photo!!!
Choi Sum is good. I think stir-fry is just great for vegs!!
If I had a choice, I would choose white sauce over brown sauce :)
We also have to have some sort of veggie dish (or two) with our meals :) Love the Chinese style ways of preparing veggies! Bok choy is the one I find most often in the markets but I'll keep my eye out for choy sum as well!
Oh wow, this looks delicious!
Although, I'll have to disagree with you on one point. In my opinion, vegetables have lots of flavor – in contrast, I tend to find meat pretty tasteless, and in need of spicing up with veggies, herbs and spices. But then again, both my parents are vegetarian, and I've also grown up eating mostly vegetarian food.
I do have to ask a question. I've noticed that a lot of your recipes include fish sauce. I read somewhere that soy sauce makes a good substitute for fish sauce in recipes, and I was curious about your opinion on that. I think fish sauce is a more authentic ingredient in Thai and other East Asian foods, but I don't eat seafood, and tend to avoid anything with a fishy taste, so I'd like to know how much that affects the flavor.
Yes, sometimes I am tired of eating vegetables because they all taste same. Your vegetables look very colorful and fresh.
I forgot which wine to buy at the store and ended up with Shuang Jin Chiew. Can I use this instead? Rather – I'm going to use this instead and let's see how my dinner turns out. :o) Hope to hear back from someone. PS I love your site, the recipes are wonderful and the photographs are so inspiring!
Hi Summer – I am not sure what is Shuang Jin Chiew, but you can always try. It doesn't hurt. By the way, thanks for your kind comments about my recipes and photos. :)
I tried this today, the first recipe i have done from this site. I left out the shrimp as i felt for a vegetarian dish today, and it was quick, easy to make and delicious. Excellent recipe, i really enjoyed it
I just cooked this, and it was extremely delicious! Thank you!
Hi there! i'm a great fan of your blog, as an overseas student craving home cooked food, this is the first place i go to whenever i need a recipe to satisfy my cravings :P
i've been searching around for recipes for broccoli with 3 eggs ( century, salted and normal eggs) and i was wondering if you have any to share?
You mention to add mushrooms and the shrimp, but mushrooms are not listed with the ingredients. What kind and how much, please?
Dear Rasa Malaysia,
What is Shaoxing wine ? Can you give me its full name with company details ? Is it Chinese or malaysian Brand ? can you pls give another Chinese food wine name which I can use instead of Shaoxing wine ? Here ,I searched in our big Chinese shops they told me they have a chinese Wine to use in food name is " Wangzhihe" . I did not buy it becoz it was written in chinese. I took the name and searched in Google and saw that it is Bean curd. If you give me the actual name with company details then I can order in the chinese shops . OR What I can replace if I do not get any wine or Shaoxing wine ? A good news , I found some chinese vegetables in chinese shops .
Will be waiting for your reply .
If you can't find Shaoxing wine, any cooking wine will do. I do sometimes use whatever I can find in my kitchen, but adjust the quantity accordingly. Hope this helps.
Shaoxing is a prefecture-level city in northeastern Zhejiang province, People's Republic of China where there are several of producers of red glutinous rice wine, hence the name. The wine is reddish in color due to the red glutinous rice used.
Hi Susmita, Shiaoxing wine is just a chinese rice wine. Pretty much any chinese rice wine will do. It has an alcohol content of around 14% like normal wine (so you don't get it confused with a spirit). It will smell a bit like an English sherry and can be substituted easily with sherry if you can get that instead. Alicia
Taste was good but sauce got thick as soon as I pour it over vegetables.I got more thick sauce:( will be more carefull next time
How many servings does this recipe call for?
I don't normally review blog sites but I have to say that I just tried this recipe today and absolutely LOVED it!
Yesterday I found Choy Sum at my groceries which was like finding gold. However, I have no idea how t cook it.
When I searched the web I found your site and I still can't believe how easy it was to cook with this recipe.
The result was excellent. I used Mirin instead of the chinese wine and reduced the sugar to 1 tsp.
Thanks again for posting this recipe. I can't wait to order your book now :)

hi,, what can i use as a substitute for Shaoxing wine or any other wine?
Rasa, You have great recipes I'll be making so many of you dishes for my wife and self.. Thank you for taking all this time to do this for all of us..
hi where can i get the shaoxing wine? or any cooking wine for instance. ive ysearched for it in mydin, giant, jusco and cold storage. all i got was the expensive french wine=\
Hi! I love Chinese food. And I usually try out recipes in my kitchen. Though most of the times, I wonder how important is it to use Chinese rice wine or rice wine vinegar. Since I am a Muslim, are there any substitutes for the mentioned ingredients? Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and information on Chinese cooking.
Is this recipe for 1 serving? Can't wait to try it!

Robert Plant Announces Five Week US Summer Tour
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Robert Plant and his Sensational Shape Shifters have just added 16 new stops to their summer itinerary, which now makes 21 gigs spread over five weeks in late June and July. Plant and the band -- who have recently been playing a Led Zeppelin-heavy setlist, kick things off on June 20th in Dallas, Texas and eventually wind the trek down in Brooklyn, New York on July 27th.
On March 23rd in Australia, Plant and the 'Shifters' 14-song opening night setlist featured nine Zeppelin classics, with Plant tackling "Heartbreaker," "Friends," "Black Dog," "Going To California," "Four Sticks," "Ramble On," "Bron Y Aur Stomp," "Whole Lotta Love," and "Rock And Roll."
Robert Plant told us that in his solo career, the music he tends to cover traces a different historical path than Zeppelin's tried and true blues reinterpretations: "Led Zeppelin played quite a lot of tunes which we took from the Chicago genre, and this is me taking tunes from perhaps an area which I probably wasn't able to touch on quite so much, previously. In '68, '69, we were looking directly back into one particular, physical area of music, whereas this is a kind of a reflection -- or I'm seeing the reflection -- of so much, so many of my early inspirational sources."
UPDATED: Robert Plant and his Sensational Shape Shifters tour dates (subject to change):
June 20 - Dallas, TX - Palladium Ballroom
June 21 - Houston, TX - Bayou Music Center
