How to stop a baby from crying by Katy Perry Dark Horse
Next time I'm feeling grumpy I may try this…
Next time I'm feeling grumpy I may try this…
We know about the first trimester and, of course, the second trimester; can't forget about the all-too-long third trimester. Did you know there is also a fourth? Yup, the fourth trimester is the concept that for the first three months, you and your newborn are just getting used to life outside the womb. When we think about it, our babies really didn't experience hunger or the new and the strange; they were put gently to sleep by us in the dark womb and constantly nourished through their physical connection with us. With that in mind, it seems pretty difficult for them to just adjust to life 'Earth-side', doesn't it?
It might seem daunting at first, but as a new parent, chances are you already want to spend your whole day staring lovingly at your newborn! This is the best way for you and baby to get through the Fourth Trimester happily and hopefully a little less sleep deprived. As parents in the early stages of babyhood, it can be incredibly hard to let go of some of the "advice" we are given. What exactly can we expect to be doing in the "Fourth Trimester"?
The "Fourth Trimester" can be a difficult time as baby and family learn what works for them and as mom heals and gets into a post-partum rhythm. It should be filled with patience and of course lots of love and adoration for your new bundle. Remember that New Mom should be taking care of herself in any way she knows how, but also keep in mind your newborn needs a lot of care the first few months of development, and that is completely normal (and even encouraged). Don't get too caught up in routines, and allow yourself some you-time whenever possible by asking for help when you need it. Raising a baby can be hard, but we all know how rewarding it really is. With a few of these tips you can take the Fourth Trimester head on and enjoy every minute with the newest member of your family.
Whether you're a new mom or a mom for the second or third time, when those notorious terrible twos creep around the corner, it can bring along a case of the mommy-blues. You may not know what to expect even after reading all the parenting books and taking all the wonderful advice your mother can offer. Each toddler is different. For the first year or so of your child's life, you have coddled and groomed that baby. Now your little bundle of joy has transformed into a little bundle of personality! Here are a few tips and advice on conquering the 3 woes of the Terrible Twos:
1 – Potty Training
Potty training is that hurdle that every parent and toddler must jump. In the beginning, your enthusiasm and excitement for the new milestone your child is preparing to achieve will be at an all time high. You purchase videos and books and a cute little potty seat for your toddler and you're all set. Each child is different and each mother's potty training experience varies.
Advice: The best time to potty train your toddler is when they show signs of controlling their bowels and bladder, i.e. after staying dry throughout the night. Make sure your toddler is emotionally ready to potty train. Avoid training during uncooperative stages and encourage your child with positive reinforcement. Most importantly, know that you and your child will eventually get to the finish line. It can become discouraging at times, especially when your child has frequent accidents and other kids of similar age are fully trained. Eventually, you will clear this hurdle.
2 – Tantrums
We've all been the onlooker at some point watching as a blushing mother in the grocery store struggles to assert her control over the screaming, rolling, and kicking toddler. And now…you're that mom! Tantrums can come unexpectedly and it's easy to give into the desire to avoid drawing more attention to yourself by raising your voice and putting on the disciplinarian face.
Advice: The best way to handle tantrums is to ignore the onlookers. Don't be concerned with how you look in front of people by putting on the meek, librarian voice and "asking" your child to behave accordingly. Your toddler won't respect you this way and may walk over you in public places. Be as stern and serious as you would be at home so that your toddler knows that mommy means business. One way to eliminate tantrums is to keep your word. If little Billy knows that mommy never buys him any candy at the check-out when he misbehaves, then he will take heed of the consequences of his behavior. Never give your child what they want when they are screaming for it. You want to show your child that tantrums are not rewarded; good behavior is rewarded.
3 – Testing Boundaries
Toddlers love to test the boundaries while in the Terrible Twos. With new-found mobility, toddlers are full of adventure and the desire to explore. That curiosity is what makes them want to touch when mommy says, "Don't touch!"
Advice: Unfortunately, toddlers sometimes learn from experience rather than instruction, though we prefer it the other way around. After a few bruises and scratches, they will learn to listen to mommy's warnings and instructions to avoid dangerous places and activities.
Hopefully, you will find these tips helpful in your journey through the Terrible Twos. You will experience some of the woes of the Terrible Twos, but most importantly, you will find that the Terrible Twos aren't so terrible. Enjoy the journey and cherish each moment with your tiny toddler because they are growing quickly.

It's a question that all first time moms ask themselves: "What do I actually need to bring with me when I have my baby?" Well ladies, I can tell you that it's probably not as much as you think.
Packing your hospital bag is an extremely exciting, calming, and personal experience. During my pregnancies, I spent a lot of time focusing my attention on preparing my hospital bag.
Deciding what to bring with you on the day that you will meet your child is a huge thrill. So take your time. Pack and re-pack as often as you like, check off those checklists, and buy yourself the cutest duffel. It's worth it!
Below I've compiled a list of my top-ten must-haves for the hospital bag:
1. Toiletry Items
Though the hospital will provide some of these things for you, you're likely going to want to have your own shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc. I suggest buying the travel size containers and filling them with your own products. It's cheaper than buying the pre-filled travel size bottles, but either way, travel size is the way to go, especially since you'll want to save space for all of your fun baby things.
2. Socks
I cannot stress enough just how cold hospital floors are. Perhaps they affected me more than they might you, but just trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry. Pack yourself a few of your favorite no-slip slippers. Helpful tip: you'll be thankful for longer ones when it's too difficult to shave your legs, post birth.
3. A Journal
I bought the Peter Pauper Press "Baby's First Year: A Thought A Day Journal". I used it up until my daughter was about 3 months old, before things got too hectic. However, I'm so grateful that I documented those first few days. You are likely to be exhausted and drowsy during the first days of your baby's life and will be thankful for any journaling you did during that time some day when you're reflecting back on that amazing experience.
4. Electronics
It goes without saying; you'll want to bring your camera. But in addition to the baby-image capturer, make sure you pack your cell phone, chargers, and any extra batteries that you may need.
It's also not a bad idea to bring with you a list of people to call and update on any baby news. Include their name and number on the list. Some hospitals have terrible cell reception. Therefore, if you haven't memorized the numbers of important family members and friends, it's a good idea to have that with you.
5. Take-Home Outfit for You and Baby
When choosing the take-home outfit for your newborn, keep in mind that they will need breathing space for the cord and that you will likely be changing their diapers frequently. Maybe avoid things with zippers or a lot of snaps. A cute two-piece layette with a matching hat and no-scratch mittens should do just fine. Let's face it; your baby will look cute in anything.
When packing your outfit, remember that you will have just have had a baby. Bring a comfortable maternity outfit and include a pair of comfortable shoes. You are likely to have post-birth swelling and won't want to worry about sore feet; there will be plenty of other aches and pains that you're likely to be experiencing.
6. Snacks
During labor the doctors and nurses will limit your food and drink to ice chips (no, unfortunately that's not just something we see in the movies). This prevents you from feeling sick during labor and helps prepare your body in case of an emergency C-section.
Chances are, after giving birth, you will be tired and hungry. While you will receive meals from the hospital, and there are likely vending machines, the machines can become expensive and hospital food is not always the most filling. It's also very possible that you will give birth during a time when the cafeteria is closed.
Bring yourself a nicely packed Ziploc bag of snacks. Include things like crackers, chips, cookies, and/or fruit. It's important you keep your energy up and stay healthy for baby.
Insurance often doesn't cover your partner or any family member eating while staying with you in the hospital. It's a good idea to have snacks on hand for any support person(s) you may have staying with you and your baby.
7. Nursing Gear
Make sure you plan on bringing a maternity bra or two, and don't forget the nursing pads. Even if you don't plan on nursing, you're likely to fill up with milk and there is bound to be leakage. There are many options for nursing pads, such as reusable, cotton, or gel inserts. Do a little research and check out your local baby store and choose what you think will work best for you.
Also, bring along your nursing pillow and an extra slipcover. Nursing pillows are extremely helpful in supporting you and your baby while maneuvering the logistics of nursing. Get a FREE nursing pillow when you enter promo code: BABIESONLINE at checkout!
8. Special Item for Baby A.K.A. "The fun part"
The hospital will provide all diapers and wipes during your hospital stay and will most likely give you extras. They also have pacifiers and blankets (though it doesn't hurt to bring some of your own).
While packing for your baby, keep your focus on clothing, comfort items, and sentimental things. I'm sure there is a special item you have in mind for your new little one – perhaps a handmade blanket or special gift from a loved one. Though your baby most likely won't be interested, it's more of a symbolic item to attach sentiment to. Something you can show your child and someday say "This was your very first blanket, teddy bear, pacifier, etc."
Keep in mind that you should not put a lot of blankets around or on your baby and you should leave all pillows and stuffed animals out of the baby's sleeping area. This is a preventative method to reduce your child's risk of SIDS.
9. Distraction Tools
If you're like me, once you're admitted into the hospital and the waiting game begins, you will likely be far too excited to get any rest. Especially if this is your first labor, it is likely to take a bit longer to progress. So take a few things to keep you entertained and calm. An iPod, a book, or a magazine will give help take your mind off of the excitement of seeing your baby or any worry you may have over what's to come. Perhaps bring something you and your support person can enjoy together. Crosswords, Mad Libs, or a deck of cards would work nicely and provide some last-minute one-on-one bonding time. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones who finds it easy to sleep, but just in case, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
10. Gifts for Nurses
This is a big one. Chances are, you'll have a wonderful, helpful, gem of a nurse. The nurse on shift will provide you with about 90% of your care and, in most cases the doctor doesn't come in until the very end. During my deliveries (at two different hospitals in two different states), the nurse did everything but physically deliver my baby. In both cases, she coached me through my contractions and helped get the baby as close to being out as possible before the doctor came in. Basically, the doctor acts as the baby catcher. It's wonderful to have them there of course, if something goes wrong, but otherwise it's the nurses who will serve you and your family with the utmost care and attention.
Having a thank-you card on hand, or some fresh-baked cookies (homemade or store-bought, either way, it's a free cookie), is a good way to say "Thanks!"
On the off-chance you get stuck with a less-than-friendly nurse during delivery, rest assured you'll encounter many nurses and nurse's assistants during your stay. One of them is bound to be somebody you'd like to show some extra appreciation to. Otherwise, keep the cookies for yourself. No harm in having some extra cookies around.
So there you have it ladies: my top 10 must-haves for your hospital bag. I hope this has been helpful to you, and I hope you enjoyed reading it! Here's wishing you all the best on your birthing journeys. Be sure to check back for more tips and articles. From conception to parenthood, babiesonline.com has you covered.

For any parent, the experience of meeting your newborn on his or her first day 'Earth-side' is the ultimate blind date. You've undoubtedly compared, and might have even argued over, whose hair will cover that tiny pink head or whose eyes will be staring back at you when those peepers take in their first blurry sights. We've all seen those adorable baby photo-shoots with the newborn perched perfectly among gauze blankets, adorned with the odd decorative headpiece, and sleeping away blissfully. You might be in for a shock when you see what these little humans look like at first glance, but don't worry: you'll still find them to be cute. So what do newborns actually look like after birth? Here are a few common characteristics your baby may or may not acquire.
When giving birth, your educational class may have taught you that the baby descends down the pelvis, into the birth canal and out the vagina. What you may not know is that plates in the baby's still-soft head slide over one another to make sure he/ she fits through any size or shape. This causes the "cone head" effect to appear immediately after birth and is technically deemed "molding"; nothing to worry about though, it typically corrects itself in a few weeks.
You may have heard friends talk about their "cheesy baby"; it's surprisingly not the food they're speaking about but a substance called vernix. All babies in utero are covered in a thick, white coating that protects their delicate skin from the constant bath of amniotic fluid; most of this coating slowly disappears before birth and is more commonly found on preterm babies and babies born closer to their due date rather than farther. Most are quick to wipe vernix off, but leaving it on a newborn for an extended period of time can actually act as a moisturizer, leaving your wee ones skin even softer, as if that's even possible!
Your partner in the birthing room may get to cut the cord, the umbilical cord that is. The tie that connected mom and baby is cut and clamped with a cord clamp for baby's safety. Sometimes this clamp is then wiped with an antibiotic that potentially leaves a blue, purple or yellow stain. Before you take your new love home, the clamp will be removed and an umbilical cord stump will fall off after a few days or weeks revealing a rosy, kissable tummy.
In a nerve-wracking but common turn, some newborns are born sporting blue or purple extremities; this is known as peripheral cyanosis or acrocyanosis and is a result of decreased blood flow to, typically, the hands and feet. It may be a little scary to see, but this is no issue in newborns and can even last a little while at home as the baby's system gets used to the hard work life on the outside. Massaging the extremities lightly can help in bringing around blood and might even grant you with one of those squishy-faced newborn naps.
Will your baby be blue eyed with brown hair? Blonde with freckles? That's up to your genes. When playing the guessing game on your new baby's looks, it's hard not to be overwhelmed with all the possibilities nature provides. Although we can't predict all the traits of your newest family member, there a few we can prepare you for, like the "conehead" or the thick "cheese" that sometimes covers preterm babies, or even the frightening but common blue hands and feet combo ( nobody panic!). When it comes to the first day of meeting your newest bundle, you can be sure those beautiful eyes and little noses will be well worth the surprise.

Luxurious master bedroom with ocean views from your king-sized bed. Second bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The third bedroom has two twins that convert into a king.
Missionary founded church is three doors down. Ideal for destination weddings.
Keywords: Single-Family Home
My parents built this home in 1969, when the only access was a dirt road. They lived there year round, but had no mail or paper delivery for many years. Its a lovely, quiet location in a pristine area, which my husband and I have updated and kept decorated in the Hawaiian style.
Snorkeling, turtle and whale viewing (in winter months) is awesome from our location. We can also swim off the left front side of our property. Our oceanfront location with sunset views overlooking 3 islands and 2 peninsulas is truly unparalleled.
We just returned from our 2nd trip to this wonderful house. One of our favorite things to do when we are there is sit in the lawn chairs in the morning, sipping coffee and watching the whales and turtles. The location of this house makes you feel like you are in your own little paradise. It's quiet and away from the crowded resorts. The best snorkeling we found was right in front of the house. Beautiful corals and fish and lots of turtles!
The layout of the house is perfect for couples, each bedroom has its own bathroom. We ate outside on the patio most nights, after cooking on the new gas grill. The new large capacity washer and dryer were great too.
I've never vacationed anywhere else on Maui where I have felt so peaceful and relaxed. Sue, you will be hearing from us again and again! We love this house!
Just returned from our 6th visit to Sue's house in Makena in the past 7 years and I can truly say that means we Love this place ! What I stated in my review a few years ago certainly still holds true today - but the place is even better now. One of the bathrooms has been completely remodeled; the new, very large washer & dryer are wonderful; and some new furniture adds to the updated feel. The owners Sue & Clark are a pleasure to deal with and since they spend at least a couple of months each year in the house, they insure, along with their local care taker, that the place feels like home.
"The house is very comfortable and extremely well stocked. Three bedrooms and three baths means there is plenty of space for everyone. The grounds are gorgeous with lots of outdoor seating and easy access to the water. There is no better location on Maui than this little dead-end road and this house in Makena - providing that you want to be ocean front and Not surrounded by hundreds of people. There is nothing more peaceful than sitting here in the back yard during whale season and watching dozens of humpback whales in the ocean in front of you. I'm convinced that the best snorkeling spot on Maui is in the protected lagoon in front of the house - lots of fish and I have seen no less than 2 and up to 6 turtles resting on the bottom in 10 feet of water every time we get in. A short half mile stroll to the end of the road puts you at one of the best and largest beaches in Maui. We can't wait until we are back in Makena."
We came from almost 1/2 a world away (New Jersey) and our stay on Maui at the "Makena" house was well worth the trip. The house was plenty big for 6. The sunsets were gorgeous with a different sky every night. The house was well appointed and the furniture comfortable. While there were some ants the first night the problem was easily resolved with a little Raid and some Clorox wipes and a little common sense. After the first night- no ants. We didn't see any mice. Marc, who did most of the grilling commented that the grill was like new. The house while off the beaten path is located close enough to the Wailea shops and golf courses to offer many activities.
We would recommend this house to anyone
This was my first place to stay on Maui and I will never forget it! I left a piece of my heart in this home and will hopefully get to visit it in the future.
I saw the location, read about all the details, read the reviews, and spoke with the owner. Sue told me the love story of her mom and dad. She spoke of the home they had built together and of the time they lived there. You can see all the Hawaiian charm in the lava rock wall and the lava rock fireplace that was built for a wife that had known cold winters before moving to Maui. Thank you, Sue, for sharing your lovely home! I could sit in the chairs and watch the waves for hours on end, that is after a morning snorkeling adventure! Thanks for having water shoes, masks, snorkels, and fins to borrow! I lost count of the different kinds of fish or sea creatures we saw every morning. This is a great location for the active outdoor kind. There are walking/running trails, swimming, snorkeling, scuba, beaches, and many more outdoor activities to be discovered. I enjoyed my stay in Makena and am looking at the calendar with plans for my return!
WOW! Amazing place! From top to bottom this had it all. Ample room in the kitchen for meal prep and eating, also great outdoor seating for meals or cocktails at sunset. Some newer amenities, among them, washer and dryer, furniture and BBQ grill. Loved sitting outside watching the surf and inside watching the waves when we got too much sun. Private and quiet, yet not far from restaurants and shopping. A great experience!
Loved this Hawaiian style home with incredible sunsets. Listen to the waves at night while you fall asleep. Great flat back yard for boccie ball and corn hole games or sit by the ocean and watch the sunset. We had dinner every night by the ocean and used the table and chairs along the deck. Barbecue was brand new. We snorkeled in the mornings at the black lava beach which was a short downhill walk to the left of the property.In the afternoon the wind picks up and we walked to the sandy beach for body surfing.I liked that there were 3 bathrooms each with a shower and also an outdoor shower to rinse off the salt water. The Makena landing is a short walk and that is where many kayak and snorkel trips originate.This home is very quiet and private. Definitely will be coming back.
We own a 40 foot dog leg parcel of land, to the left of our home,that is directly on the ocean. You can enter the ocean from this area wearing beach shoes in the morning when the ocean is calm.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Businessman's call to eradicate New Zealand's pet felines draws hisses from cat lovers
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Gareth Morgan has a simple dream: a New Zealand free of pet cats that threaten native birds. But the environmental advocate has triggered a claws-out backlash with his anti-feline campaign.
Morgan called on his countrymen Tuesday to make their current cat their last in order to save the nation's unique bird species. He set up a website, called Cats To Go, depicting a tiny kitten with red devil's horns. The opening line: "That little ball of fluff you own is a natural born killer."
He doesn't recommended people euthanize their current cats — "Not necessarily but that is an option" are the site's exact words — but rather neuter them and not replace them when they die. Morgan, an economist and well-known businessman, also suggests people keep cats indoors and that local governments make registration mandatory.
Morgan's campaign is not sitting well in a country that boasts one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world.
"I say to Gareth Morgan, butt out of our lives," Bob Kerridge, the president of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told the current affairs television show Campbell Live. "Don't deprive us of the beautiful companionship that a cat can provide individually and as a family."
For thousands of years, New Zealand's native birds had no predators and flourished. Some species, like the kiwi, became flightless. But the arrival of mankind and its introduction of predators like cats, dogs and rodents have wiped out some native bird species altogether and endangered many others.
"Imagine a New Zealand teeming with native wildlife, penguins on the beach, kiwis roaming about in your garden," Morgan writes on his website. "Imagine hearing birdsong in our cities."
But many New Zealanders are against the campaign. Even on Morgan's website, about 70 per cent of respondents were voting against making their current cat their last.
Morgan could not be reached for comment.
And the science remains unclear. Some argue that cats may actually help native birds by reducing the population of rodents, which sometimes feed on bird eggs.
Morgan's separate personal blog, in fact, has a separate campaign to raise $1 million to eradicate mice from the remote Antipodes Islands, where rodents are the only predators.
A 2011 survey by the New Zealand Companion Animal Council found that 48 per cent of households in New Zealand owned at least one cat, a significantly higher rate than in other developed nations. The survey put the total cat population at 1.4 million.
In the U.S., 33 per cent of households own at least one cat for a total of 86 million domestic cats, according to a 2012 survey by the American Pet Products Association.
Scientist David Winter said cats are indeed a problem in New Zealand, having contributed to the extinction of at least half a dozen New Zealand bird species. Writing on his blog "The Atavism," Winter said Morgan's campaign appeared designed to "start conversations."
Still, he added, "What hope is there for environmentalists in conversation where our side wants to take people's kittens away?"

Rixty's Cash-Based Payment System Now Available at More Than 10,000 Retail Locations Nationwide.
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Paying for online entertainment without a credit card just got easier, thanks to Rixty. The innovative e-commerce company launched today its new cash-based payment system at more than 10,000 retail locations. Now anyone with cash and coins can convert that money into online purchasing power across an exciting array of entertainment merchants.
Predominantly designed for the youth market, Rixty is a flexible payment option for any age bracket due to its ease of use and accessibility. By rolling out at more than 9,000 Coinstar[R] kiosks in the US, users will enjoy the convenience of adding to their online accounts by simply choosing the Rixty option when exchanging their coins for free at local Coinstar machines. In addition to the Coinstar kiosks, users will also have the option of buying prepaid cards through the in-store racks at more than 1,000 retail locations, including Cumberland Farms and Hess convenience stores.
Realizing that merchants have traditionally faced difficulty reaching younger audiences that often have limited access to more traditional payment forms, such as credit cards, Rixty aims to reduce that transactional friction and allow users to spend freely across a variety of online publishers.
"Rixty started with the idea that there should be some way to allow online entertainment enthusiasts, particularly the younger generation, the ability to enjoy what's available without relying on a credit card," said Ted Sorom, CEO, Rixty. "Our goal is simple: To provide anyone and everyone the freedom to choose how and where they spend their online entertainment dollars. Rixty does this by converting loose change into online purchasing power."
Rixty is launching with top publishers in the massively multi-player online (MMO) game space, including Perfect World Entertainment, ijji.com, GamesCampus, Ntreev USA, Ndoors Interactive, Inc., ourWorld.com, and Three Rings Design, publisher of Puzzle Pirates and Whirled. Rixty supports business models from microtransactions to subscriptions and is compatible with all types of online entertainment, including downloadable games, virtual worlds, casual and social games on social networks, digital downloads such as music mp3s, videos and games, mobile games and ringtones. The cash-based system also empowers the younger audience to take control of their entertainment spending without requiring adult involvement or a bank account.
"Rixty's new payment solution enables many of our young gamers who don't have credit cards or Paypal to purchase in-game items in Trickster, Grand Chase and Pangya," said Chris Lee, CEO, Ntreev USA. "We are very excited to partner with Rixty."
Merchants have searched for ways to attract new customers who might have previously experienced barriers to entry, which Rixty addresses with a cash option most e-commerce outlets have lacked. In addition, Rixty offers merchants the opportunity to be "discovered" by showcasing new games and online goods on the Rixty website.
"We are very pleased to add Rixty to our payment offerings," said David Chang, executive vice president, GamesCampus. "Rixty allows our users to buy items through their unique payment channels, allowing us to expand our paying customer base."
"What's great about Rixty is its ability to reach a broad spectrum of users from a wide demographic in various age groups," said Joon Kim, customer service manager, Perfect World Entertainment. "Rixty is convenient, easy to use, and widely available in many places."
About Rixty
Rixty is an alternative payment system designed specifically for today's online youth, empowering them to take control of their entertainment spending and giving them access to the online world of multiplayer and downloadable games, virtual worlds, social networks, digital downloads, mobile games and ringtones. Rixty never charges users fees and by reducing payment friction, Rixty converts more users into paying customers, significantly increasing online publisher's revenues.

Foam Filled Head and Hands - Zombie Gutarg
Item Id: gp-26213FM
You'd best sharpen your rifle skills because Zombie Gutarg looks like he's on the move!
Prop builders rejoice! If you use masks as heads for your own ghoulish creations, then this prop set is for you! This head has been foam filled at the factory while still in its mold for maintaining perfect shape. It has had no holes or cuts in it - none for the eyes, ears, nose, mouth or even the slit in the back. It also has a pair of foam filled hands painted to match perfectly.
Each piece has a piece of 1'' PVC pipe inserted into the foam, ready to attach to your body frame. The head offers approximately 6'' of exposed pipe for use as the neck. The hands measure approximately 18'' from fingertip to elbow, so no need to add PVC for a forearm. This set is perfect to build your own life-size prop - whether it's standing, sitting, a half-body groundbreaker, or even just the head and hands reaching out to you from the great beyond!
Set includes the head and hands shown in the primary photo. Additional photos (featuring Zombie Gutarg) are for idea purposes only to show how the pieces can easily attach to a pvc frame. Clothing, pvc frame, and spider joints not included.

Great Zombie prop
Awesome addition to our zombie graveyard...was pretty easy for first timers to use with the spider joint kit. Only con is the position of the hands...would be better if the fingers curved somewhat.

These are excellent! If you are building your own creatures for haunts then this is what the Doctor ( or Mad scientist) ordered! No more hassling with masks. Sealing up the holes , stuffing and mounting. They are ready to go out of the box! And with Matching hands to boot! The quality is great as well. Beautiful paint. Vivid and lifelike. Thanks HA.

Snowden should have stayed here, been locked up stark naked for years under a gag order, and then put on a secret trial with secret proceedings that no one is allowed to hear without a voice of his own. Sounds like he didn't want to be the next Bradley Manning and wants to be able to actively respond to the denials about this program.

Hi: 12° Lo:5°
By Beth Sharp Friday 02 May 2014 Updated: 02/05 12:51
TWO BROMSGROVE women have raised more than £1,800 to help finish the radiotherapy unit at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital.
Kerol Morris and Tracey Brookes, who held a joint 50th birthday party and fund-raiser at Catshill Working Mens Club, handed over the cheque to nurses last week.
The pair who asked for donations instead of presents were happy to announce they had raised almost twice their target.
The money will go towards finishing the Garden Suite so those needing radiotherapy will no longer need to travel to Coventry for their treatment.
Cash was also raised by the tickets sold for the special raffle which had a number of generous prizes on offer donated by businesses including Partridges butchers, David Lloyd, Asda, Beau Photography, Chapters Hair salon and the Abbey Hotel in Redditch.
Tracey said: "The party was brilliant it just went too quickly - it was quite nerve-wracking because it was for a charity and we wanted to get everything right.
"The is the start of something we are going to continue with.
"We hope to organise many more events for this charity which is so close to our hearts."

Notes: Clary sage, Fig, Jasmine marmalade accord, Mastic, Pine needles
A new scent by L'Artisan.
Wow! A great scent! Hits all the right buttons for me. The opening is excellent. It is a fig note which is green and refreshing. It works well with the dusky clary sage and a hint of violet leaf, which ameliorate the fig note and provide a very nice, complex opening chord. The lentisk further develops the dusky-green theme. I also get a forest and forest-floor note from the pine needles. Overall, this is a very good scent in the garrigue style -- a breeze wafting over resinous shrubs.
Hm, maybe this will be the sole fig frag I can do!
Right, the fig is "there" but does not dominate. Well balanced with the other ingredients. It is my first fig scent, after debating the issue for several years.
Yeah if there is a facet of the fig that I'd want to emphasize it's along the clary sage - violet leaf spectrum.
Hello Coneheads Group Members,
This is my first time ever to join any group here on Basenotes and just want to say hello.
I am also digging Caligna at the moment. Agree that the fig note is not very prominent and it's so well blended with other notes that I cannot help think of it as a tea scent every time I wear it ( don't know why? May be due to Sage?). Any how, I also sprayed some on my shirt and got whiffs of it all day long. It's fantastic! I think I am going to get a back-up..... soon.
Hello CapriDog, welcome to the group! Thanks for the note. Glad you like Caligna.
Cheers, ody.

Cassia Java
I am trying to find a Cassia Java tree for sale in Perth, Western Australia.
Any ideas?
I see posts from other countries on here all the time, and I have no problem trying to help someone from other countries find a plant, BUT this is a little harder than some of the other plants I've looked for. Use the correct scientific name, Cassia javanica, for best search results. Here are a couple of non-Australian sources that have this plant in stock. These two sources came from a private database. I don't know what their policy is about shipping overseas or non-wholesale orders, but if you are serious about the search, you can check them out.
TreeWorld Wholesale
24605 SW 192 Ave
Homestead, FL 33031
Aloha Tropicals
P.O. Box 6042
Oceanside, CA 92054
Here is another possibility, but I don't have access to their inventory to see if they actually have it currently.
Pacific Trees Qld
PO Box 3820
Burleigh Town Qld 4220
I actually found that last source with a Google query of ' "Cassia javanica" nursery '. (Sorry I can't link to the seach. Of all things, Google seems to be the hardest to link to these days.) There are lots of other search results, but the first couple seemed to show out of stock. Hope this helped a little.
I found plenty of promising links with "Cassia javanica western australia" in google - so maybe this is also a googling help forum! All things considered, for a remote country with only 22 million Australia has a quite vibrant gardening culture. Having to ask on a yank forum for a source is a variation on a "coals to Newcastle" theme, I daresay.
This nursery is in "the WA" and might prove helpful:

"...as you admit we're not really in a position to help someone in Perth find this plant."
I didn't have much luck with this particular plant, but very well might with many others. I (and a few others that frequent this forum) have a number of resources that many people don't have easy access to. Some of these could indeed help me find Australian sources for plants.
On top of that, there are GardenWeb members that actually live in Australia that are in this forum occasionally. I don't know what resources they might have, but it never hurts to ask.
" have a number of resources that many people don't have easy access to"
Which resources, pray tell? Academic databases? I suppose scholarly articles might sometimes discuss plant sources; but the few times I've seen this it's almost invariably a wholesaler.
Anyhow our first time OP is probably long gone by now...hope he/she finds their Cassia!
David, we might want to take further conversation of databases to another (more related) thread. But many larger nurseries (both retail and wholesale) provide access to the inventory via a password-protected access. There are also professional organizations, including international ones, that provide search access via composite databases. Many of these require proof of industry association for access. I'm not familiar with "academic databases" related to this, at least that I can think of right now.
For the non-professional there are somewhat similar databases like Dave's PlantScout. It can be fairly useful for some things, but is not nearly as broad reaching as industry tools. I still consult it in addition to other resources. For retail mail-order, PlantScout's links to Garden Watchdog can be a plus.
Oreliaman, I noticed that you are new to GardenWeb. Please don't let the discussion above discourage you from posting further. I think most people here enjoy answering questions and helping people find stuff, as long as they've done some homework. The plant you were looking for is apparently not all that commonly available, so asking here was fine, IMO. If you are still around and find your plant, please let us know!
Brandon, sorry for being a bore. Don't take my tone the wrong way. I enjoy your contributions.
Orelianman, I hope I didn't scare you off and I shouldn't have phrased my first response in a gentler way. I didn't want YOU wasting your time...I happily waste my time at gardenweb! There just aren't many Australian posters here who seem like serious gardeners, so I assumed they all post on some Australian gardening forum that ends in .au somewhere.
Brandon, OK, thanks I see what you are talking about now; by "Academic Databases" I meant the databases accessible to people in US academia, like OCLC, that catalog all of the world's academic research. With articles that publishers would otherwise try to ridiculously charge $39.99 for. Though it doesn't surprise me that there is some kind of "industry only" plant finding services, IMHO the most serious has always been available to the public in one form or another: the UMN plantfinder. It was available as a book since at least the early 90s IIRC, and there's been a web version for years. It's very useful for mail order nurseries but they also cover wholesale only sources. If you are aware of a superior offering from a commercial provider who expects to get paid for it, do let me know, I'd be curious to know about it. As for wholesale nurseries more and more of them seem to at least have the sense to put their availability lists online w/o prices. Don't get me started on the antiquated way high end plant material is sold in the country. Monrovia might be what Talon Buchholz calls one of the "evil nurseries" but selling direct wholesale-to-consumer is the wave of the future. If I can order a single resistor from mouser when they probably have over a million SKUs and many customers with multi-million dollar accounts, it's ridiculous I can't do the same from wholesale nurseries.
