Absolutely beautiful and very nicely priced. Wish they had more wreaths in this price range. It was on my front door all summer and still looks brand new.
The wreath is everything I expected. Was saving for spring time, but had company coming over the week-end, so put in the entryway a little early. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was and inquired where I had purchased!
I was very pleased with the size, color and quality of this wreath. It looks beautiful on my yellow front door.
Product arrived quickly, required about 5 minutes of gentle fluffing and only one small flower fell off in the process. I used a piece of thick ribbon I had in the house to hang it on a hook from my front door, and it looks pretty and cheerful for spring-summer. I would maybe caution against buying it for indoor decorative purposes -- if you walk right up to it and touch the flowers, you can tell they aren't a super-high end silk flower. But neither the description or pricing suggest that they would be, so I think overall the product is a fair deal.
Obvious fake flowers, but that was to be expected. Purchased this to hang on outside garage door that is somewhat shielded from weather elements due to overhang. Problem with this wreath is that whoever assembled this had their mind on something else because one area of the wreath has sparse amount of flowers and foliage, while the rest has ample amount. Had it been arranged properly this would have been a nice wreath for the price and for what I need it. I've tried to pull different areas, but it really doesn't help. It looks defective which is an eye sore. This wreath needs total rearranging which would involve a glue gun, but I'm not that well adapt to that task. Very disappointed.
I have this on my door for an everyday hello and greeting.
Very full I was very pleased with thisHighly recommend
this wreath is beautiful. I hung it on front door and have received many compliments on it.
Not quite as thick as it looks in the picture
This is a very pretty, quality wreath. Yes, it is plastic but it is full and the flowers are nicely shaped and colored. Overall, it makes a nice, fresh statement. The one I received looks very similar to the photo online.

Chapter Twelve Decentralization and Performance Evaluation Introduction Decentralization means that decision making power concerning costs, revenues and/or investments is delegated to managers of subunits down the organizational chart. Objectives 1. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of decentralization. 2. Explain why companies evaluate the performance of subunit managers. 3. Three types of responsibility centers are cost centers, profit centers, and investment centers 4. Calculate and interpret return on investment (ROI). Objectives (Continued) 5. Explain why using a measure of profit to evaluate performance can lead to overinvestment and why using a measure of return on investment (ROI) can lead to underinvestment 6. Calculate and interpret residual income (RI) and economic value added (EVA). 7. Explain the potential benefits of using a Balanced Scorecard to assess performance. Advantages of Decentralization 1. Better information leading to superior decisions. 2. Faster response to changing circumstances. 3. Increased motivation of managers. 4. Excellent training for future top level executives. Advantages of Decentralization Disadvantages of Decentralization 1. Costly duplication of activities. 2. Lack of goal congruence. Why Companies Evaluate The Performance of Subunits and Subunit Managers Decentralization naturally implies evaluation of subunits and managers. Companies evaluate performance of subunits and managers for two reasons: To identify successful operations and areas needing improvement. To influences and motivate manager behavior. Responsibility Accounting and Performance Evaluation 1. Responsibility accounting holds managers responsible only for decisions about things they can control. 2. To implement responsibility accounting in a decentralized organization, costs revenues, and capital expenditures are traced to the organizational level where they can be controlled. Responsibility Accounting and Performance Evaluation Cost Centers, Profit Centers, and Investment Centers Subunits are organizational units or responsibility centers with identifiable collections of related resources and activities. They may be classified into Cost Centers Profit Centers Investment Centers Cost Centers 1. Subunit that has responsibility for controlling costs but does not have responsibility for generating revenue. 2. Examples: Service and production departments. 3. Managerial goal: to provide services or make products at a reasonable cost to the company. 4. Evaluation: compare budgeted/standard costs with actual costs. Profit Centers 1. Subunit that has responsibility for generating revenues as well as for controlling costs. 2. Examples: copier and camera divisions of an electronics firm. 3. Managerial goal: to generate profit (revenues – expenses) for the division. 4. Evaluation: profit from the current year may be compared with budget or previous years or compared with with other profit centers on a relative basis. Investment Centers 1. Subunit that has responsibility for: a. Generating revenues b. Controlling costs c. Investing in assets 2. Managers of investment centers have control over inventory, receivables, equipment purchases, etc... 3. They are held responsible for generating some kind of return on them. Investment Centers (Continued) 4. Managerial goal: is to generate return on invested capital 5. Evaluation: rate of return (%) relative to a benchmark/budget rate of return or relative to other investment center rates of return. 6. Are the camera and copy divisions really profit centers or investment centers? Evaluating Investment Centers with Return On Investment (ROI) 1. ROI is one of the primary tools for evaluating performance of investment centers. 2. Calculated as follows: ROI = Income Invested Capital 3. ROI focuses on income AND investment 4. Natural advantage over income (alone) as a measure of performance. 5. Removes the bias of larger investment over smaller investment. Evaluating Investment Centers with ROI (Continued) 1. ROI can be analyzed into two components: a. Profit margin = Income Sales b. Investment turnover = Sales Invested Capital Measuring Income and Invested Capital When Calculating ROI For ROI calculations, companies measure "income" in a variety of ways: • Net income • Income before interest and taxes • Controllable profit… Our text uses uses Net Operating Profit After Taxes, NOPAT. This formula does not hold managers responsible for interest. What is NOPAT? Net Income $3,900,000 Add Back: Interest Expense 1,000,000 less tax deduction of interest (350,000) NOPAT $4,550,000 Measuring Income and Invested Capital When Calculating ROI (Continued) Invested capital is measured in a variety of ways. In the text, invested capital is measured as: Total Assets – Non-interest-bearing current liabilities Examples of non-interest-bearing current liabilities: • Accounts payable • Income taxes payable • Accrued liabilities (wages, utilities etc) Problems With Using ROI Major problem with ROI: the denominator, invested capital, is based on historical costs, net of depreciation. As those assets become fully depreciated, the invested capital denominator becomes extremely low and the ROI number quite high. Managers may therefore be compelled to put off purchases of new equipment necessary for long-term success. They "under-invest." Problems of Overinvestment and Underinvestment: You Get What You Measure Underinvestment results when Managers of investment centers with high ROI's are unwilling to invest in good projects or assets that will dilute their current ROI. Conversely, evaluation in terms of profit can lead to "overinvestment." Residual Income (RI) Residual Income (RI): net operating profit after taxes of an investment center in excess of the profit required for the level of investment. RI = NOPAT - Cost of Capital x Investment Using RI may avoid overinvestment and underinvestment tendencies because it will reward managers who invest in projects returning above the firms cost of capital Residual Income (RI): Examples The Camera Division Earned $180,000 and had invested capital of $1,000,000. Suppose the cost of capital is 10%, and the division has the chance to earn $60,000 a year more on additional investment of $500,000. If performance is based on ROI manager may reject, but RI yields a better decision. Economic Value Added (EVA) A refined version of RI, which has gained wide acceptance is called Economic Value Added Developed by the consulting firm Stern Stewart to adjust RI for "accounting distortions." The principal distortion is related to research and development (R&D). Economic Value Added (EVA) (Continued) Under GAAP, R&D is expensed immediately while Under EVA, R&D is capitalized and amortized over a number of future accounting periods. adjusted EVA = NOPAT minus adjusted (Cost of Capital x Investment ) Using A Balanced Scorecard To Evaluate Performance ROI RI and EVA are criticized because they do little more than summarized the past "backward looking." Balanced Scorecard is a framework of performance measures which incorporate forward looking and qualitative information: • Financial perspective • Customer perspective • Internal process perspective • Learning and growth Using A Balanced Scorecard To Evaluate Performance (Continued) Balanced Scorecard uses performance measures that are tied to the company's strategy for success. Progress towards current financial goals is only one component of success in the longer run. Other factors may be more important for success in the future Consider the balanced scorecard measured shown in illustration 12-10 How Balance is Achieved in A Balanced Scorecard Balance between qualitative and quantitative, forward and backward measures, and balanced company dimensions! Performance is assessed across a balanced set of dimensions. Quantitative measures are balanced with qualitative measures. There is a balance of backward-looking and forward-looking measures.

HAVE: Azaleas in need of new homes
Last message should have said Have to Trade.
I have a ton of Dark Pink/Red and White Azaleas which need to find new homes due to the deer population at our house. Some are small and some are about 4-5 feet tall. I am starting new gardens and am looking for lots of stuff to exchange the Azalea's for please see my trade list. Even if something is not on my trade list I maybe interested.
The Azaleas are located in Potomac MD.
Let my know if your interested.
Hi Terri,
I would be interested in a couple of large azaleas to plant in front of an ugly new AC unit we just got. From your trade list I have peonies and Passiflora incarnata. I live in Bethesda and the Passionflower has survived the last couple of winters. Please also check my trade list.
Please email me at weatherer at starpower dot net. I believe that the gardenweb email system is not working.
I can trade you some nice purple lilac "seedlings" for some of the azaleas. I've been looking for (small/mid-size) white ones for my mom. The adult lilacs are well over 6 or 7 feet tall and about 4-5 feet wide. The "seedlings" are new growth from the roots of the adult bushes, which I've dug up and traded before with success. I live in Glen Burnie. Please get in touch!

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — A report released by the Residential & Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario found that Mississauga public transit riders should pay more to travel further and pay less to ride outside rush hour, reported Mississauga.com.
The Greater Toronto Area has to come up with new money to pay for transit expansion, and the new report said incoming Premier Kathleen Wynne should consider these options. To read the full story, click here.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

Ryuunosuke's Servant in the 4th Holy Grail War
In his past life, Caster was Gilles de Rais, a French nobleman who was once a comrade of Joan of Arc. He greatly admired the woman when she was alive and her death devastated Gilles to the point where it completely shook up his faith in God. He studied black magic under Francois Prelati and committed a number of atrocious crimes with his magic for eight years until he was captured and executed.
Gilles' name of Bluebeard that he adopts for the Holy Grail War stems from a fictional mass killer of children based on his character.
Caster was created for Gen Urobuchi's Fate/Zero light novel series. Urobuchi had difficulty thinking up of a Caster-type Servant and consulted Fate series creator Kinoko Nasu over trying to create an Eastern-themed Servant before being told that the Fuyuki Grail system in Fate was limited to those in the West. Caster's Japanese voice actor for the Fate/Zero anime, Tsuruoka Satoshi, admitted to making use of kabuki theater and a mixture of major actors and actresses as his inspiration for voicing the character. Caster also appears in the manga adaptation of Fate/Zero and is voiced in English by Dan Woren.
Caster stands at 6 feet, 5 inches and is normally adorned in long black robes with different designs adorning the top and bottom of his robes.
Like his Master Ryuunosuke, Caster is psychologically demented and has no regard for any of the lives he takes. He occasionally likes to set up situations to allow his victims a false sense of hope by letting them escape before brutally killing them. Throughout the Grail War, he is under the belief that Saber is his former comrade, Joan of Arc, due to their physical resemblance to one another.
Caster was accidentally summoned into the 4th Holy Grail War by Ryuunosuke using the blood of a family that the latter had killed. Because Ryuunosuke lacked a catalyst to summon Caster, the Grail chose a Servant for him with the closest personality they shared. Rather than take active involvement in the Grail War though, Caster and Ryuunosuke would abduct a number of children throughout Fuyuki and use them either as mediums for summons through Caster's spellbook or torture them for their sadistic pleasures. This lack of regard for the rules of the Holy Grail War led the war's moderator, Risei Kotomine, to temporarily suspend activity in the Grail War and offer the reward of extra Command Spells for any Master/ Servant pairing that killed Caster.
Caster would use the children as hostages to lure Saber into a trap where she would be attacked by the countless summons created through his spellbook. Lancer would come to her aid and use Gae Dearg to disable the summons channeled through the spellbook and force Caster to retreat.
Caster would try to go after Saber a second time when he fused the creatures in his spellbook and himself into a giant, massive beast capable of constantly regenerating itself and having impressive strength. He would eventually be defeated when completely incinerated from an attack by Saber's Excalibur as he recalled the events that led to his murder spree before fading away.
Bluebeard's status as a Caster class stems from the use of his only Noble Phantasm, Prelati's Spellbook, as he otherwise possesses little ability in magic, making himself one of the weakest Casters on record in the Holy Grail War. Made of wet human flesh, the spellbook is capable of summoning countless demonic familiars with little use of Caster's mana reserves since he uses the spellbook as a medium for the summons. The endless summons of these creatures are what make Bluebeard a threat to others and disabling the mana output used in maintaining the form of the familiars through the spellbook is the only means of stopping their summons. Bluebeard is also capable of using the spellbook to teleport himself if he needs to flee from battle.
Bluebeard is also capable of fusing with the spellbook and the creatures within it to form a giant beast that can feel no pain and is capable of constantly regenerating itself from any injury as most attacks from Servants such as Saber and even Gilgamesh were incapable of incapacitating the creature. It also possessed a large amount of strength as it could casually swat Berserker's F-15 fighter jet out of the air with its tentacles and swallowing it. The only means of destroying the creature were to either kill Bluebeard's Master where it would eventually fade away from using up all the mana in its body (so long as it didn't absorb the life force of living beings to maintain itself) or using an attack destructive enough to completely incinerate the creature's form, such as Excalibur.

Kerri's Reviews > That Wedding
That Wedding (That Boy, #2)
by Jillian Dodd (Goodreads Author)
by Jillian Dodd (Goodreads Author)
Kerri's review
Feb 18, 12
Read in February, 2012
I have to say that after having read and loved "That Boy" by Jillian Dodd, I was worried that I would not like "That Wedding" as much, especially because I usually prefer stand alone books with no sequels. Then to add to my doubts I'm not crazy about reading about weddings. I know that sounds strange but I had a beautiful fairy tale wedding and in my mind nothing can compare. So needless to say I was very sceptical about reading this book. The good news is that Jillian Dodd did not let me down. She has a way with words and her quirky characters are so endearing that who wouldn't want to read more? Though I will throw it out there that I still liked "That Boy" mainly for the wonderful love triangle that kept the reader guessing right up to the end. As for this book the banter back and forth regarding the hypothetical XXX-rated themed wedding was hilarious. It is rare that a book gets me laughing out loud but this one definitely did. It was also scrumptiously delicious to read about all of the crazy situations that Jayden, the lead female character manages to get herself into. Thanks Jillian - can't wait for your next book.

"I was extremely satisfied with these cards. The quality is excellent and I was so pleased with the editing and customer service. These are exactly what I wanted, I will definitely be ordering my invitations through Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We couldn't be happier with our save the dates! We wanted it to represent our laid back, playful personalities and it did just that. We love the chalkboard look and the feel of the product is very expensive. We are so excited to send these out and order invitations next!"
"The customer service was amazing. Everything about ordering these was quick and easy and I ended up with exactly what I wanted! They are so cute and I can't wait to send them out to everyone!"
"My fiance and I bought these Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding because we loved the calendar idea and the font was very sleak. All of our guests told us how beautiful and classy the cards were because it didn't scream "SAVE THE DATE". Customer service and delivery was also great, we got the invites very quickly and they were a very quality product."
"Loved my Save the Dates. When I ordered, WPD was offering complimentary custom colors, which I took advantage of to have these cards fit my wedding scheme of grey and purple. They came out beautifully. One thing to keep in mind before you buy these cards is that they are square, which means you're going to pay more for postage. The paper quality and printing quality were both stellar. A very good option for couples who are not into having their photos displayed on every piece of wedding stationary they order. I am very happy with my decision."

RICHMOND, California (AP) — Federal environmental regulators say Chevron Corp. failed to maintain equipment and did not respond adequately to airborne chemical releases at its Richmond refinery, the site of a massive fire in 2012.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday filed a formal notice against Chevron finding 62 violations of federal environmental law.
The Aug. 6, 2012 fire was caused by the failure of a corroded, 1970s-era pipe that released a massive gas cloud and sent thousands to hospitals seeking medical attention.
EPA called Chevron's risk management at the facility a "pervasive failure" and could pursue criminal charges or fines if the company fails to address the violations.
Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie says the company is working with EPA and other agencies to remedy issues identified by investigations.

Roman Augustoviz spends Minnesota's winters covering college hockey, specifically the Gophers, and other University of Minnesota sports. During the summer, he writes about the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, with a dose of U sports sprinkled in. Follow him on Twitter @RomanStrib.
Minnesota State Mankato stood tall last weekend, kicking Wisconsin when the Badgers were already down.
The purple Mavericks beat the Badgers twice at Kohl Center -- their first sweep there ever -- both times by 4-2 scores.
And on Tuesday, the WCHA named two MSU players among it players of the week.
Sophomore forward Matt Leitner from Los Alamitos, CA, was named the league's offensive player of the week. He had two goals and three assists in two games and was a plus-2.
He has three goals and 12 assists for 15 points this season.
Also nominated for that award were forwards Kyle Rau of the Gophers and Ryan Walters of Omaha.
The rookie of the week was goalie Stephon Williams of MSU. He is from Fairbanks, Alaska.
He stopped 32 shots the first game, 33 the second. So he was busy. He is 2-3-1 with a 2.46 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage.
Freshman winger A.J. Michaelson of the Gophers was another nominee for the rookie award. He had his first goal and first assist again Vermont last weekend.
Named the defensive player of the week in the WCHA was St. Cloud State goalie Ryan Faragher. He stopped 59 of 62 shots as the Huskies split with Minnesota Duluth. UMD won the first game 2-1, SCSU won the second 5-1.
Faragher is 6-5-0 with a 2.14 gaa and a .927 save percentage.
Other nominees for this award were Gophers goalie Adam Wilcox and UNO defenseman Bryce Aneloski.
* Freshman forward Joey Benik, who broke his leg during the Huskies first practice, is skating this week. There is a chance he could play for SCSU when they play Colorado College on Dec. 14-15.
* Also according to the St. Cloud Times, the Huskies recently received a commitment from Brendan Harris. The 5-7, 140-pound center plays for the California Titans, a AAA midget team. He is 16.
* Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson got fined and reprimanded by the CCHA for critciizing officials after the Irish lost 2-1 to North Dakota last Friday. According to the Grand Forks Herald, Jackson was upset the officials blew the whistle early, thereby disallowing what would have been a late tying goal by Anders Lee. "It was just an awful call," Jackson said. And he paid the price for speaking out.

A production assistant agreed to hand over the keys to her home to director Viv Fongenie, and the place became Ollie Kepler's (Hogg) for the duration of the movie.
The actor shudders to think what the poor girl thought of her house once the film was done.
He explains, "I feel bad for her because the house was covered in purple paint and it was hard to get off things.
"We fell through a floorboard. There was a scene in the film where I lift up a floorboard and we had just done one take and my make-up girl's foot went through and she was stuck dangling through the ceiling of the floor below!
"We did lots of things to that apartment. I think the door didn't close properly by the end and there was obviously purple paint everywhere.
"I would never use my own property for a film set; they would have to pay me an awful lot of money."

Yes. We've already talked a lot about names, and it's been very contentious, even without a kid's imminent arrival.
As far as namecalling goes, some sufficiently creative kid is going to find some way to make fun of our well-chosen name. If the name has an acceptable nickname, they can try to take away your kid's name and replace it with the nickname. (Personal experience there.)* Acrostics only take a little effort. If it has a remotely odd spelling, it will be mispronounced and misspelled all the time. I figure it ought only pass a minimal test - do I think of a bad way to construe it immediately upon hearing the name? (My sister's initials spell a sound you might make when you have trouble thinking, and she's fine.)
*Somehow it's the people with vulnerable names themselves that tried to do this with me. A kid with the last name "Fink?" Another kid with the name "Brantley?"
As someone who only knows English, I am so impressed by people who are bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual. Only knowing English feels like you can only understand part of the world. The problem I've had is I don't really know what language I should try to learn.
I think it's a wonderful thing to be able to teach a child two languages. The part others have raised about being able to communicate with family members makes it that much more rewarding.
Don't worry about the naysayers - they always have to pick on something, and if it wasn't that, they'd just find something else.
Child care is BEYOND insanely expensive... When my husband and I were deciding to to have children we agreed to both go part time (4 days a week) in order to make our lives easier (we both make more than we would pay for day care, so we did take a financial hit with this decision). For example, whoever is home on a given day can throw in some laundry, or some food into the slow cooker, run errands... All of these things multiply in number once you have kids at the same time becoming more difficult to schedule. Unfortunately, when my daughter was around 1 my work situation changed and I had to go full time... let me tell you, it was definitely easier when I wasn't.
Anyway, the point I am getting to here is, when kids are little they require a lot of attention and sometimes (often?) some career sacrifice but it's TEMPORARY. When we decided to get pregnant we agreed that we would both slow down career wise for 5 years. For us it means, we do our jobs, we come home. We don't sign up for extra projects, we try to limit our travel, but it's all just for now. We also decided to have our kids close together for that reason (they'll be 2 years apart). Anyway, it's something to keep in mind. An 8 year old goes to school and doesn't need constant monitoring to keep from killing him/herself. It's ok to decide to slow down for a period of time, knowing that you'll come roaring back once they're older.
It's alright to discuss these topics, but there needs to be boundaries. I would use the following, personally:
1. Don't insert yourself into a stranger's situation or bring up the topic yourself to a stranger.
2. It's probably not your business if you're not a parent yourself.
3. Ask the person why they are making these choices, don't assume.
4. Try to end on a positive note.
I don't feel right bringing up to my sister that I don't agree that she spanks my nephew, but after being a teacher, I am pretty forgiving of parents' choices. It's the hardest role there is. Even though I want to raise my children on nutritious meals, cloth diapers, and museum passes, I know I'm going to slip up and give them fries, Huggies, and Disney DVD's.
I also feel that home birth is a fine option for low-risk births, where the mother is well coached and the midwife is reputable. If you live near a hospital and your midwife is highly qualified, why not? They have equipment. I won't be choosing this option, but with any birth plan there needs to be a series of precautions taken.
Here's a really funny humor bit about sleep, but the same general idea can apply to pretty much any "advice" given to new parents.
https://chimericalcapuchin.wordpress.co ... babybooks/
Melsbells - I think there is a convincing case that a doll is a thing worth having, even with your very solid conviction to avoid unnecessary things. It teaches empathy and caregiving through play, which boys are often missing in a social setting, even at a very young age (less than a year is pretty early still - I think 18 months is a good standard). And you could definitely find one on consignment so you aren't buying into the new manufacturing incentive. Or even make one, if you are crafty (I am not). I probably sounda bit evangelistic about the damn doll, but it hits on a nerve for me - developing empathy and nurturing in my son is a high priority for me, and it's my way of raising him "gender-neutral," even though I don't have full control over what people say to him or give him as presents (mostly trucks and trains).
How can you tell who has been vaccinated or not?
That's the tricky part, you can't really. So unless the parents say something you never actually know.
First 2 were on purpose, 3rd kinda not so much, 4th was totally an oops (when you think things are broken, they have this habit of fixing themselves). Made sure we were done after that. Aside from that, we knew we'd have at least 2, likely 3, but the timing was not at all what we thought we were "planning". Such is life.
Some of my family members who work in the healthcare system have overheard some doozies.
I work in healthcare, so I can relate. I think my favourite was a kid called "Abcde" which we were assured was pronounced "Abasidee". Mirena was a cute choice, named after the contraceptive device. Then there have been some good narrative names including places of birth - e.g. "Shell" (after the baby born in a petrol station carpark) - and places of conception - e.g. "...(a suburb which I'll keep secret - just in case this somehow breaches some poor kid's privacy) bus stop."
I will do cheers but in people's experiences and options I should be ok
I'd advise against giving clothes. Not only does it eliminate the need to choose colors, but most parents get enough baby clothes.
At baby showers, I always give gifts for the mom (lotion, foot bath, etc.) and medical supplies for the baby (like snot suckers). Diapers in the bigger sizes for when the baby is older, too. Don't forget to throw in 6-12 month baby supplies.
And that includes parents too - I try to always ask "can I have a hug/kiss" rather than "give me a hug/kiss" and that she can always always say no if she doesn't want to, even with me. (She's old enough now that I've had enough practice that even writing "give me a hug" sounds weird to me)
Also I think on a more general level it's good to practice asking these kinds of questions anyway. Not just for abuse, but in general if you want to know what's going on in their life. Asking "how was school" gets an "I dunno" even now, but asking more specific things like "What was something funny that happened today" or "What did you do at recess?" really gets her talking more. Not sure where I read that, but the kinds of questions above made me think that sometimes just asking a better question will help get at what you want to know more than asking generalities.
The other thing is definitely definitely not making judgment on those things that they're saying. Instead try "What did you think about that
Bonding with my future infant is a concern of mine, because my depression is debilitating. I'm relieved to know that normally functioning women don't feel that head-over-heels mushy baby love.
Probably not. As we pointed out in the other topic, 34 weeks isn't even on the chart because it's so rare:
You'd be better off worrying over a car accident.
Hi everyone
A Beautiful article by writer Kathryn McDowell recently I read liked to share with you
Why Pocket Diapers Are Better Than Disposables :
As a young parent, you've no doubt heard of pocket diapers. Perhaps a neighbor or a co-worker told you about them. Or it was your babysitter, who asked you to get them soon. Well, so many families in America are today turning to pocket diapers for their little ones. But a majority still holds on to disposable diapers, while being curious about pocket diapers at the same time.
Why are diapers so great? For a start, pocket diapers come with brand new fabrics and super absorbent pads, are easy to put on, simple to take off, easy to wash and quick to dry. And they are better than disposable diapers.
They are Cheaper
Until your child is potty trained, you'd probably spend something close to $2500 to $3000 on diapers - which is quite a lot. Biodegradable disposable diapers are even costlier. But with pocket ones, you won't have to spend anything more than $350 to $400, till your child is potty trained.

Seeing Through A Glass Darkly Poem by Dave Pass
To continue forever in time and space,
This we cannot imagine or know.
For only briefly are we here in this place
Before we find that its time to go.
Of what we never can conceive
Help us Lord to just believe.
How vast are the heavens when compared to me
But even lilies you don't forget.
Has only Earth got life in this galaxy?
Why would you make a barren planet?
If doubts come and calm does leave
Help us Lord to just believe.
How incredibly varied is life on Earth
Whether on land, in sea or in sky
Reptiles and birds lay eggs, animals give birth.
None are immortal and all must die.
Young arrive but old must leave.
What sense if we don't believe?
Why should some people suffer in pain through life?
And why should some die before they're old
With illness and disease, or in wars or strife?
It seems unjust, has His love grown cold?
Give Job's faith to those who grieve.
Like him Lord we do believe.
We rush around madly at work or cleaning
Our lives so full with the present tense.
Can advance in science give our lives meaning?
Will we improve in wealth or in sense?
All things – we cannot achieve,
Only God can we believe!
