Jim, our experience is similar, I was in RVN arriving days before Tet in January 1968. After becoming a civilian I joined the Chicago PD for a fun filled 31 year career. A friend just sent me an very good read on typical police handgun, rifle and shotgun loads and their performance. Send me your email in a PM and I'll forward it to you.
MHO, gun shops can't keep Shields in the store. S&W can't make them fast enough. Till the demand for 9's and 40's drops significantly, I doubt Smith would consider another caliber.

AFTER THE ATTACKS: A NEED TO CHANGE; Reports From the Notebook, and From the Heart
By DAN BARRY
Published: September 16, 2001
As the terrible week unfolded, reporters recorded what they could and editors made sure that most of that voluminous report appeared in the paper. But often, powerful observations, bits of telling dialogue or deep personal experiences were, for one reason or another, not in the newspaper. They remained in notebooks or indelibly in the mind.
Many photographs, too, unlike anything anybody had ever seen before, appeared in the paper day after day. But of course there were many more that didn't -- and each photographer staring at the cataclysm through a viewfinder also had a story to tell in words. These pages present the opportunity for some of those observations to be brought to life, with contributions from reporters and photographers, but also from editors and others on the staff of The Times.
Trying to Discard A Painful Memory
It was Thursday morning, and normally John Meade would be in the hurly-burly mix of Wall Street trading from his company's Midtown offices. Instead he was plopping a pair of jeans, a pair of boxers, some socks and a shirt onto the counter at a Gap on Madison Avenue. He was out of place.
Dozens of people whom he knew -- with whom he traded e-mails and phone calls several times every day -- were missing, almost certainly dead, and here he was at the Gap. He had not been able to get home to Hoboken, N.J., and the clothes he was wearing were like an extra skin of painful memory that he had to shed.
On Wednesday he had bought a shovel and tried to get past the 14th Street barricades that were separating traumatized Lower Manhattan from the rest of the city. But the police would not let him pass, so he handed over the shovel and wandered back to Midtown to drink.
He is 33 and single: a strapping man. But at this moment his mother was in Oklahoma visiting his sister, and he was in Midtown, very alone and clearly in need of a hug. DAN BARRY

I love the kit!!
By All about learning Mama
from Laveen, AZ
Best Uses
Comments about Baby Learning Kit:
The kit is just what it says it is a "Baby Learning Kit". This all in one learning kit is a handy educational tool. The product is easy to use. Works best if you use everyday with your baby. I love how everything fits in a neat box that I can pull out and put away with very little mess or fuss. It is true how the inside contents are made of cardboard and you can't just let your baby have at it but you have to keep in mind it is an educational tool not a toy. I have toys like a truck when I show him the card that has truck on it toy keys for that card etc... That way he is still learning and exploring.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great idea, poor execution

Comments about Baby Learning Kit:
The product states that it is for 6+ month old babies. Unfortunately, it is made out of cheap cardboard. As everyone knows, babies put everything in their mouths. After my son had 10 minutes with these materials, they were all soggy. It's too bad because the kit is a neat idea. I will use it but very carefully. It's expensive for what it is.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have Teach My Baby and I have never had a problem with the quality. I love the nesting blocks, they are very unique and my baby loves them! We play with the kit everyday and my baby is learning a lot. My nanny uses it every day for 20 min as well with my little one.

I received this as a shower gift. I was so pleased to open it and find so much inside the kit. Finger puppets, blocks, book, textures, puzzles. I don't need to buy a thing!

Very Disappointed
By FTM

About Me First Time Parent
Best Uses
Comments about Baby Learning Kit:
The mirrors on the nesting blocks and flash cards peel off exposing a glue as well as a thin rubber film that could be choked on. The finger puppets did not fit well and were cheaply made. I was very disappointed when this arrived and even more disappointed when the mirrors peeled off the nesting blocks the first time my child played with them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy through electrochemical processes. One of the types of fuel cell is the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) that uses solid ceramics for electrolytes. Numerical simulation involves constructing a mathematical model of the SOFC and use of specifically designed software programs that allows the user to manipulate the ...
Modeling Large-Scale Mine Dewatering by Using Subsurface Flow Module in COMSOL Multiphysics
J. Molinero[1], A. Nardi[1], P. Trinchero[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
Groundwater is a key factor affecting mine operations worldwide. On one hand, both underground and open pit mines need to pump out groundwater in order to proceed with mineral extraction and increase the stability of rock slopes. On the other hand, groundwater abstractions can produce undesired environmental and social impacts, which should be anticipated in the environmental impact assessments ...

The reciprocating paddle cell is a known practical method for depositing alloy films on wafer substrates. Recently, the mass transfer boundary layer within an industrial wafer plating cell was studied based on the measurement of limiting current. It was indicated that a shear-plate fluid agitation mechanism is capable of generating a thin (i.e.

Blood Flow Patterns in a Patient Specific Right Coronary Artery with Multiple Stenoses
B. Liu[1]
[1]Department of Mathematics, Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ, USA
Atherosclerotic lesions preferentially develop in certain regions like bifurcations, branches, and bends [1, 2]. A possible explanation for such a preferential localization of atherosclerosis is that the geometry of the vessel influences the blood flow pattern. It suggests that the arterial geometry plays an important role in determining the localized blood flow information. Thus hemodynamic ...

Catalytic micro-combustor represents an exciting area of research for portable power generation. Extensive research is being currently conducted on the design of the reactor and catalyst selection [1]. However another critical element of the design will be a recuperator to minimize losses and provide energy at a more uniform temperature. The mini-recuperator must be both compact and highly ...

Volcanic eruptions are often preceded by periods of unrest, where the behavior of the volcano deviates from a background level towards one of increasing concern [1]. Understanding what causes and contributes to unrest is a key challenge in volcanology today, influencing risk mitigation and hazard forecasting. Deformation of the volcanic edifice is one such indicator of unrest owing to a ...

Spring is coming on fast!
The weather has been summer like here!! Breaking records every day. The daffodils are bursting, many are somewhat shorter than normal. The weather is beautiful, but I do worry, things are just coming on toooo fast. The daylilies are growing very well, and the iris look fabulous!! I even found a few buds on my dwarf iris today. It is so nice to be out in the garden. The pot ghetto is really looking good, not a single one lost over the winter. Gotta post a picture of daylilies!
A few pics of the garden.
The hyacinth are wonderful. Gotta put more in this fall.
Daffodils, I am afraid the very warm weather is taking a toll on them. I may not have them to enjoy for very long, if the heat continues. Many still haven't opened yet, but will any day now.
I set the time lapsed camera out a good month ago, set to take a picture once every 5 minutes, so I am hoping it will be a great movie of the daffodils.
Bowie and Whiskey certainly enjoy hanging out with me in the garden.
Babe has grown up, but he still enjoys hanging out in the garage!! He had his little 'surgery' and is doing very well. He is a real sweetheart, but he is very timid around Bowie, so I am reintroducing them a little at a time.
Bowie found his favorite place on the bench as soon as I set it out.
Bowie rules! Bowie is boss of the garden! Babe and Whiskey are looking good too.
What a pot getto you have going there.
Spring is going gang busters here too. My daffs are blooming away just like yours are. I have always admired all the daffs you have blooming each spring.
Everything is just gorgeous, Cindy! I especially love the hyacinths and all the beautiful daffs. Babe has done some growing hasn't he? But Bowie really looks good too, and Whiskey is just a love.
I understand what you mean. I keep worrying too. Even the roses and the clematis are full of buds. In March!
Great photos of your garden and garden companions Cindy.
Ditto here on the weather being too warm for this time of year. However, I did hear our temps will go down this weekend into the 50's and lower 60's. Much more what we would expect for this time of year.
EVerything is looking good, gorgeous daffs. My eyes caught the squirrel-the best kind to have in a garden :) Bowie has the best seat in the garden, doesn't he? Babe has really grown up, not the lanky kitten I remember. I really have a soft spot for orange kittens.
Love the daffs and got to love that pot ghetto, I have quite the ghetto myself. I actually dug out a lot of my daylilies and put them in pots this winter I got tired of trying to weed the grass out of the beds. Babe sure as grown up and glad he is doing well after his little surgery. I bet all the cats are saying Hurray!! for spring.
Good to see Bowie again. been a long time since he was in a photo.Babe is looking great too,and has grown.I like orange cats, Use to be a orange tom cat came to my back door about once a week, looking for a meal.he always got fed and I had hoped he would stay here but, he was always traveling on aafter a couple hours here. I called him MORRIS after the cat on the tv commercial.Thanks for including them in your photos.
Oh Cindy. I have been only planting daffs here for about ten years although I had them at my prior home also. I really, really love your daffs. But 30 years, no wonder you have such a great display. The past thre years I have really put in the most. They really add so much to the spring garden making a sea of cheerful color.
Cindy-do you know what the name of the pink and white daffs are? I admit that while I am fanatical about my daylilies/lilies/iris name tags, most of the spring bulbs are just stuffed in the ground and I have NO idea what they are. I do love pink daffs though.
Thanks again Rita, Your garden has inspired me to plant several plants, such as Lupines!!
Sarah, that pinkish daffodil is Apricot Whirl and it is wonderful! I don't label the daffodils, but keep a spread sheet of names, description and locations.

The pulp and paper sector is currently the key driver of FSC certification in Russia and FSC certified pulp and paper concessions account for almost two-thirds of all FSC certified forests in Russia.
FSC Director General Andre de Freitas, Business Development Director Marcelle Peuckert, FSC CIS Regional Office Director Andrei Ptichnikov, and Susan Bernstein from FSC BDU were present at the event.
During the conference, FSC organized an exhibition and made two presentations.
Many CEOs and senior staff from the Russian pulp and paper sector obtained valuable information from Andre de Freitas on FSC engagement in the new EU Timber Regulation, and other important programs.
Andrei Ptichnikov's presentation covered the potential of China as a consumer of FSC certified products.
"The conference was an important step" he said, adding that, "We are planning to engage in further Adam Smith conferences and agreed that FSC will be a presenter at the next Russian Wood and Timber Adam Smith conference in Moscow on 27–29 March 2012."

Pili and Seamus were great hosts, and Seamus even gave me some helpful travel advice for the Dingle Peninsula. Also, they have a sassy cat that sometimes picks on their cute dog in a playful way. Thank you for hosting me!
Pili and her husband were great hosts. We only interacted twice because I came in late and left early, but they were friendly. Pili's husband helped me gather breakfast and get the ice off my car before leaving in the morning. The room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room also had a bathroom attached which was very nice. Great location close to downtown Tralee. Pili and her husband also recommended places for dinner.
Pili´s room was very beautiful and very tidy. Also the bathroom we had on our own was fantastic. Pili was very helpful and had a lot of advice for us in town. I recommend Pili as a host! She is a very friendly and open person!
Pili was a wonderful hostess and created a warm environment for a great first few days in Kerry! I would stay with Pili and Nube (cutest doggie in all of Tralee) again.
Tralee was a great stopover before heading to Dingle, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. Pili was so welcoming and helped us plan our route out there. Her new dog Nube is so sweet and she was the highlight of our stay. The room was great with a comfy bed and a private ensuite. Pili made sure we were well fed before we set out on the road in the morning. We would definitely stay with her again.
We felt unwelcome and like we were an imposition. Minimal assistance on what to do in Tralee, No breakfast and no TV facilities that worked in bedroom. Laundry was proved at a fee
I'm sorry to hear about your experience staying with us.
Fortunately for us its not common to receive negative reviews.
Just to clarify a few things......
I'm sorry you felt unwelcome. We were having kitchen renovations done when you arrived, but I think to say you felt unwelcome and you were an imposition is an overstatement.
A light breakfast was supplied but sorry it wasn't to your liking but I thought you liked it as you didn't leave anything left on the plate.
We don't supply Tv's in the bedrooms no apologises there. We do have a Tv in the sitting room available for guests if they wish to use it, so you could have asked for it.
Laundry fees are clearly stated on the website.
Positive reviews are also welcome if you so wish.
Our room rate prices are clearly excellent value, especially for the month (January)you stayed with us, it's the cheapest. I'm surprised you did not notice this.
Hope you had better experiences on the rest of your journey.

Photos of anglers prep for their first day of practice before the 2011 Bassmaster Classic.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- For many, a Kevin VanDam victory in the Evan Williams Bourbon Trophy Triumph with Skeet Reese as runner-up would be a win-win scenario.
Three longtime PRADCO-Fishing pros head to the Bassmaster Classic with their lure sponsorships sewn up by re-signing with PRADCO and its family of fishing companies, including Booyah Bait Co., Bomber, Yum, XCalibur and more. Florida's Terry "Big Show" Scroggins and Oklahoma's Edwin Evers and Terry Butcher will again fish on the PRADCO team.
Alton Jones' title of Bassmaster Classic Champion was only moments old when the folks from Toyota added an extra $7,500 to his half-a-million-dollar day. Six weeks prior to the Classic, Alton purchased a Toyota Sequoia, and quickly sent in his registration to be eligible for the brand new Toyota Trucks Bonus Bucks contingency program. Confident, yet humble, it's doubtful Alton was counting on getting his first bonus check as a result of winning the Bassmaster Classic, but as the highest placing registered Tundra or Sequoia owner in a Classic field, that's exactly what happened.
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Edwin Evers rolled the dice on Toyota's new Bonus Bucks tow-vehicle incentive program.
Edwin Evers shows you how to select the right lipless crankbait.
Fifty of the world's top anglers will compete for the title of Bassmaster Classic champion on the Louisiana Delta, Feb. 18-20, 2011. Check out the official 2011 Classic field below, and learn more about the qualifying anglers by clicking on their name.
Get Edwin Evers' opinion on which lure to use in the fall : spinnerbait, or crankbait.
In this episode we look back at some of the best moments during the 2010 Elite Series Tour.
Meet Marty Robinson, a Bassmaster Elite Series pro for four years, a great guy with a great family.

Too much going into retirement accounts?
Chris Farrell
Apr 20, 2012 Outside of my 403(b) Base Program, which my employer matches 10% to my 5%, how much should I sock away in a 403(b) Supplemental? Currently, I contribute 5% to a 403(b) Supplemental, for a total of 20% of 110% of my paycheck. I fully fund a ROTH IRA every year, so I am wondering if I should be saving more of my paycheck to a more liquid asset. Michael, Haslett, MI

Funding an IRA when retired
Chris Farrell
Apr 11, 2012 My wife and I just retired last June. She just turned 60 and I will turn 59 soon. We own our home and cars, we have no credit card debt and our savings (not including retirement accounts) is almost $100,000. Our kids both finished college without accruing debt (thank you very much!). As I completed our taxes this spring, the amount owed is almost $2,400. If we open an IRA for $8,000, the amount owed drops to under $1,200. Does it make sense for us, at this point in our lives, to invest in the IRA for the tax savings? Part of me says it is a no-brainer; the other part says that investing in an IRA when you are already retired doesn't pass the common sense test. What do you think? Mike, Blue Earth, MN

The trade-off: Savings vs. mortgage
Chris Farrell
Apr 3, 2012 When I look at the interest rates on various savings accounts, they are all way lower than the 4.6 percent I'm being charged on my mortgage. I do recognize my condo as providing me with a service, and my minimum payment now is actually less than the rent I was paying on a studio 4 years ago! But, if I think of the equity I gain as a sort of savings account for a future upgrade, I'm just not sure how to compare my options. The simplified thought process I currently go through is that any extra I pay on my mortgage saves me 4.6 percent in interest that I would have to pay, while that same money would only earn me maybe 2 percent in a savings account, so it is better to save 4.6 percent by never having to pay it. Am I totally off? Erin, Boston, MA
A subdued reading on rates
Chris Farrell
Apr 2, 2012 The survey consensus was for no increase to slight increase in interest rates for 2012. Nothing dramatic. Very muted. There's no sense that the economy will turn gangbusters. At best, the economy will show modest gains in 2012.
Taxes and a home equity loan
Chris Farrell
Mar 28, 2012 Hello. I'm 50 and single. I have a 15-year mortgage at 3.5 percent. My income is more than $80,000. I have a Roth and I am maximizing my company's 403(b) account. I have no credit card debt -- no debt in general except the mortgage, so I don't have a lot of write-offs. Does it make sense to get an equity loan and finish my basement so I can get a bigger write-off on taxes while investing in my home, or should I continue to just sock money away because it is better to not have debt? Thanks. Lisa, Salt Lake City, UT

The Space
My apartment is cozy and well equipped with everything you'll need: soft sheets, fluffy towels, a mini kitchen, bathroom, TV, WiFi, guidebooks, and character. It is ideal for an individual or couple.
Smack in the middle of Hong Kong's shopping and eating centre, our apartment is a fantastic place from which to base yourself during your trip to Hong Kong.
My wife and I had a fun time preparing the apartment for your arrival and we have tried our best to anticipate what you will need during your trip. We are available to help you make the most of your stay!
Did I mention it is in a great location? It's only a:
600 meter walk to the Convention Center
200 meter walk to the MTR (HK's subway system)
600 meter walk to the famous Star Ferry
Note that the nightly price shown up there doesn't include the one time cleaning fee (I care about cleanliness so I hire a pro) and Airbnb's booking fee. Input your dates and click the 'book it' button to get the total cost of your stay. Ask if you have any questions. :)
Guest Access
In the studio bedroom/living room you'll find:
a double bed (a little smaller than doubles in the West, it is 4' x 6'/180cm x 120cm)
a TV (local channels-- 2 in English-- but hopefully you will be too busy exploring the neighborhood to use it :)
free WiFi (super fast broadband network)
a quiet air conditioner
a Mini fridge
kitchen utensils
an electric kettle
coffees, teas, snacks and drinks
beer and wine (my gift to you!)
In the Bathroom you'll find:
Fluffy towels
a hair dryer
220 volt outlets
a plug adapter for your gadgets (not a voltage converter)
Interaction with Guests
The studio space is private– everything in the pictures is yours and yours alone. :-)
I'm happy to give recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants.
The Neighborhood
Causeway Bay and Wanchai are the heart of Hong Kong's consumer culture. Every square inch is filled with shopping malls, department stores, boutiques, market stalls, hole in the wall cafés, international restaurants and banquet halls.
Within walking distance of the apartment, you'll find almost every type of cuisine on the planet as well as the HK must try's: dim sum, roast meats, noodles and congee, cha chan teng (a unique fusion of Chinese/Western food), and snacks and desserts.
If shopping is your thing, you'll find the whole range: From bargains and nicknacks at the Jardine's Crescent street market and Spring Garden Lane, to affordable youth fashion boutiques in Island Beverly Centre, to the tech heaven of the Wanchai Computer Centre, to mid-priced and luxury goods in SOGO and Hysan Place, to the up market fashions found in Lee Gardens, Times Square and Fashion Walk.
You are also right next to Happy Valley, where you can enjoy a beer and watch a horse race on most Wednesdays.
Getting around
It couldn't be easier to get to the apartment from the airport. The A11 bus picks you up at the airport and drops you off just downstairs from the apartment, and gives you great views of the city as you come into town. You can also get to the apartment by Airport Express (high speed train) and taxi.
The apartment is just a 3 minute walk from Wanchai MTR station (our subway system) and is serviced by Hong Kong's classic tramways and many bus lines. The famous Star Ferry is also just a short walk away.

Other Things to Note
Check in is after 2pm and check out is before 12 noon. I'm happy to accommodate early check in and late check out as long as I don't have guests arriving/departing on the same days.
Have fun, explore the city, eat shop and live life to the fullest.
You are free to use anything in the apartment, please make (email hidden) is an incredibly dense city, please remember the neighbors and don't be too noisy at night.
Absolutely no smoking in the apartment.
Try not to forget anything when you leave.
The place was really really tiny ( app 9 m2 ), so small that the fridge was placed under the bed. But you get used to it, after a while. Many things compensate this lack of space like the snacks, drinks,neighbourhood, clean towels/linen etc.
There was no kitchen, so l wont call it a studio, but a private room with shower. Alex, as a caretaker, was present by phone. I will recommend this place for singles. Giving a late check out was an extra plus.
We love the location of the apartment, which is close to the MTR and tram station. Nestled in a historical (and colorful) part of town, there is easy access to local eating places and shops. The pictures shown are close to the actual look of the apartment. Alex is very thoughtful and prompt in providing instructions on getting to the apartment, and questions that we have during our stay. We would definitely love to stay here again on our next visit!
Although I didn't get to meet Alex personally, he was still a great host! Prior to the trip, he sent me a very detailed email on how to get to the apartment from the airport; so detailed in fact, I felt like there's no way I could ever get lost haha! He's by far the best host I've come across in airbnb. Communication was clear throughout.
The room was small as described but the facilities were perfect. The location was great as well. Less than 5 minutes walk from the MTR, lots of food places and bars to explore too. It was only a station or two away from Central and Causeway Bay MTR so getting into the main shopping districts was quick.
I highly recommend this place!
Small but very comfortable, and Alex left some drinks in the fridge for me, as well as some beer and wine. Very nice.
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt, ruhige Lage und sehr viel grün machen fast vergessen das man sich immer noch in Hongkong befindet. Wir würden für einen kurzen Aufenthalt wohl wieder hier schlafen. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft.
Alex was very helpful providing details how to get to the apt, although I didn't meet him in person. The apt is clean and exactly same as the photos shown, all good!
Alex was communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We were very close to Wan Chai station, and certainly within walking distance to decent shopping areas, restaurants and the laundry.
In terms of space, what you see in the photos is what you get but it suited people like us, who favoured convenience over a spacious place as we are out most of the time anyway! A multitude of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, were provided as part of our stay, which we thought was a nice touch so thank you Alex!
This host has 784 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
I'm from North Carolina, but I've lived in Hong Kong for 11 years.
I love living in and travelling across Asia. You'll usually see me with camera in hand trying to blend in with the local culture, which is difficult for a tall white guy.
But, whether I'm treking across a desert or window shopping on high streets, I always love to meet other like minded free spirits.
My wife and I have really enjoyed preparing our place to be ready for guests. We hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if there is anything special I can prepare for your trip. :-)
As a host, I'll try my best to point out the colorful local scene, and as a guest, I'll I try to leave nothing but good memories.

Can fungus be transmitted from one client to another with a file if proper sanitation is used or if files are disposed of? Is it airborne?
Nail fungus is relatively rare on the hands and much more common on toenails. Both fungus and bacteria ("greenies") can become airborne and both can be transmitted by abrasive files, but only if the file is used on an infected nail plate. More often, fungal infections come from walking barefoot in public places, i.e. health clubs, shoe stores, hotel carpets, etc. Transmission in the salon is possible, but probably rare when compared to these other more likely sources of infection.
Files that come in contact with an infected nail plate should be disposed of immediately after use. In this case, these files cannot be properly sanitized or disinfected. Only abrasives used on healthy nail plates and intact skin can be properly sanitized and disinfected. Thorough washing with hot soapy water alone will remove more than 99% of the contaminates from files. Disinfectants will provide an extra measure of insurance and protection, but washing is the most important step. — Doug Schoon

Before I can move forward I feel like I need to play catchup with the three kidlets. Four months in the lives of a 5, 3 and 1 year old is huge! The little things add up to the big things. Here's where they've been and where they are...
{{Jack}} This guy started Jr. Kindergarten at the beginning of September and has been loving it! I am so SO glad we decided to hold Jack. It was the right decision for him and I've seen him grow and mature in so many ways that make my heart burst with joy. He's still the sweet, sensitive boy that he's always been and yet still manages to push boundaries and challenge authority with the best of 'em. For Halloween this year he decided on being the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz and he was SO DARN CUTE. I love that he's still little and will go along with my zany dress up ideas. Once December hit he had the worst bout with asthma that we've had to date. I say "we", because you better believe that this mama was there for every single croup attack, breathing treatment, steam shower, allergy appointment, pharmacy run and so on that was thrown my way. He finally went on a liquid steroid for five days just so he could catch a breath without coughing. I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand more times, I hate asthma. There is nothing worse than having you child not be able to breath. Nothing. All that being said, we've finally got his breathing under control for now and he's been living and breathing life to the fullest. He's been begging his dad and I to put him in a sport so we're going to put him in some kind of martial art a couple times and week and see how he does. I'm excited for this new first and so is he!
{{ Lily}} Oh my little Lilybug. Lily had a bit of a rough start with school. She cried every time I dropped her off for the first three weeks and it completely broke my heart! Even though I dropped her off in tears when I picked her up she was always filled with smiles and laughter. She has a wonderful teacher this year who has made her feel safe and secure and that is such blessing to me. Lily loves learning and drawing. Most of the time I'll find her sitting in the living room quietly practicing how to write her name. She's so smart and very intuitive. NOTHING flies over Lily's head, ha! Marcus and I say all the time that it would not shock us if this kid becomes a doctor or a lawyer. She asks a lot of questions and wants the facts. She's deeply sensitive and compassionate, yet really keeps her emotions in check. I've seen her really blossom over these last four months. She's not as shy as she used to be and is becoming more social with peers. Jack is still her best friend and she adores her baby sister. This girl is my shadow and I rarely can go anywhere without Lily glued to my side. Some days that can be very frustrating, but I keep in mind that it won't last forever. And I have every assurance that when she's not right at my heels I will miss it terribly. She's going to be four in just a couple months and the thought of that creates a lump in my throat. My baby is turning into such a lovely, fun loving little girl.
And here we are. We made it through the holidays and all the busyness that comes hand in hand with that time of year. New Year's Eve was pleasant, but overall uneventful. I mean hello? We have three kids under 6. I'm still shocked I stayed awake until midnight! NYE is always a little sad for me, because in my mind Christmas is officially over. And with the way the last few weeks had been I was sad to not have savored it a bit more. With that being said however, I absolutely love New Year's Day! My mom always goes all out and has a wonderful spread of deliciously fattening food. In my reality it's really the last day I can feel guilt free about eating whatever I want--I mean it's a holiday for goodness sake! But really the reason I love New Years Day so much is that you get to begin again. I once read somewhere that January brings the first blank page of a 365 page book and I absolutely LOVE that idea. The new year brings the opportunity to dream, wish and hope for a year filled with better things. Maybe you hit the resolutions you make for yourself, maybe you don't. But the hope always for myself is that I become a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend than I was before. A better woman of faith. Always better tomorrow than I am today. At least that's my hope.
Until next time.

Jason Aldean "Burn It Down Tour 2014″ [PHOTOS]
Cat Country 107.3 welcomed Jason Aldean's "Burn It Down Tour 2014" with special guests Florida Georgia Line & Tyler Farr to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City!
Cat Country 107.3 welcomed Jason Aldean's "Burn It Down Tour 2014" with special guests Florida Georgia Line & Tyler Farr to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City!
Jason Aldean is playing a concert in Philadelphia this summer, and tickets are about to go on sale!
We already know that Jason Aldean will be making waves at Boardwalk Hall on May 3rd with his new tour, but now he's confirming a huge Spring and Summer tour that includes Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr.
Brian Kelley of hot duo Florida Georgia Line married his girlfriend of seven months on Monday afternoon (Dec. 16) in Nashville. The singer had known 23-year-old Brittney Marie Cole for over three years, and once they started dating earlier in 2013, both said they "just knew."
After breaking the record for the most chart-topping weeks for a song by a duo and going double Platinum, it should come as no surprise that Florida Georgia Line's 'Cruise' snatched up the title for Single of the Year at the 2013 AMAs.
Cat Country presents Jason Aldean at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall!
One of my most favorite moments of Thanksgiving is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was always a family tradition in my house and I continue that tradition year after year. And this year, Carrie Underwood and Florida-Georgia Line will be rocking out in New York City for the festivities!
Three new artist nominees gathered on stage to hand out the award for Vocal Duo of the Year at the 2013 CMAs. Lee Brice, Kip Moore and Brett Eldredge stood side by side to announce the winner.
Immediately after a few twerking jokes and a opening hilarious monologue, the Robertson family from 'Duck Dynasty' stepped up to present the 2013 CMA Award for Single of the Year.
Scotty McCreery and Florida Georgia Line recently joined forces with celebs like Scarlett Johansson, President Bill Clinton, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber and Morgan Freeman, but not for entertainment -- it was in the name of clean water.
Florida Georgia Line brought it all to late night TV this past Monday taking over the stage on 'Conan' to perform 'Round Here.'

Can I plant it?
bookjunky4life(5 Central IL)March 20, 2013
I ordered a standard Gold Rush apple tree. It arrived it the mail today. However, with highs in the 30s/low 40s and lows in the 20s and 30s, I don't believe I can plant it yet. Is that correct? If so, what should I do with it?
ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
the decision is made on whether it is still fully dormant..
or actively growing and leafed out ...
fully dormant goes in the ground ..
leafed out goes in a pot.. in the garage.. until its properly hardened off.. and frost/freeze issues are closer to being resolved ... and also involves a call to the seller asking why they sent an actively growing tree to z5 in mid-march ...and discussing that warranty issues will be their problem .... should it fail ....

Hollywood, FL (PRWEB) April 28, 2013
One of the first studies to directly compare the effects of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA on liver disease was recently published online in the Journal of Nutrition. The study, supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, as well as the National Institutes of Health, demonstrated that the DHA component of omega-3 fatty acid supplements, such as Omega XL, had a powerful effect, reducing the proteins involved in liver inflammation and fibrosis by more than 65 percent. These liver conditions are common problems among the 67% of Americans who are overweight or obese.
The American Liver Foundation has estimated that about 25 percent of the nation's population, and 75 percent of those who are obese, have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This early-stage liver condition can progress to more serious, even fatal complications, including not only cirrhosis and liver cancer, but also a progressive form of liver disease known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
NASH is associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting from excess fat storage in the liver. Left untreated, chronic inflammation can eventually lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or even liver cancer. About 30-40 percent of people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progress to NASH.
According to principal investigator with the Linus Pauling Institute at OSU and a professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences, Donald Jump, "many clinical trials are being done with omega-3 fatty acids related to liver disease. Our studies may represent the first to specifically compare the capacity of EPA versus DHA to prevent NASH. It appears that DHA is one of the most valuable for this purpose."
With omega-3 levels comparable to about 2-4 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day - the same dose used in triglyceride therapies - the researchers noted that the DHA c

Buchholz can't quite finish job
September, 9, 2012
By Gordon Edes and Joe McDonald | ESPNBoston.com
BOSTON -- Bobby Valentine came to the mound in the ninth inning, and Clay Buchholz handed him the ball and prepared to walk to the dugout.
Valentine stopped him. They talked. Valentine gave Buchholz the ball back. Your game to win or lose, kid.
And why not? Buchholz had pitched a terrific game. He'd given up three runs on four singles in the fourth inning, then set down 13 straight Blue Jays until Rajai Davis singled with one out in the ninth. Davis stole second, and Anthony Gose, batting .215, followed with another single, Davis stopping at third.
Buchholz has been Boston's best pitcher. Toronto manager John Farrell sent up a pinch hitter, Kelly Johnson, but when Gose stole second, Valentine countered by having Buchholz intentionally walk Johnson.

To the plate came 45-year-old Omar Vizquel, who had four RBIs in 133 at-bats this season, and no sacrifice flies. Vizquel hit a sacrifice fly, and the Blue Jays led, 4-3.
In the bottom of the ninth, Cody Ross hit what would have been a game-winning two-run home run, but it hooked foul. Ross struck out. Jacoby Ellsbury launched a ball deep to center field, pinch runner Ivan DeJesus poised to sprint around the bases for the tying run. But Colby Rasmus caught it on the track.
Mike Aviles popped out at the plate, and it was over.
Jays 4, Sox 3.
"I thought he was coming out to get me and he was like, 'I'm just coming to check on how you're doing,'" Buchholz said of the ninth-inning visit by Valentine. I was like, "'Go back to the dugout, I'll try to get a ground-ball double play right here.' The guy took second, I walked (Mathis) and then gave up a run.
"That was the first time for me," Buchholz added. "When (Terry Francona) was here, he'd get two steps out of the dugout and was already calling (to the bullpen). It might have looked a little bad because I thought (Valentine) was coming to take me out and I handed him the ball. He asked me how I felt and I said, 'I feel fine.' I just didn't execute the pitch the way I needed to execute it and gave up that run."
On the sacrifice fly by Vizquel, Buchholz said he attempted to throw a cutter in, but missed his spot the Toronto had the decisive run.
"If somebody's going to give up the runs, I'd rather have it be me because I know when relievers come in, if they give up the inherited runs they feel pretty bad about it," Buchholz said. "So I'd rather put it all on me and that's what I did."
So despite home runs by Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia, the Sox have lost 11 of 12 after being swept by the Jays. They are in last place, two games behind the Jays, 16 1/2 behind the Yankees, who come to town Tuesday.
There are 21 games left.
