|Carters Passport Photo-Seriously!
A vacation at last! I feel like I haven't had a true vacation in over a year because I was pregnant on all of my trips last year. We did Vegas twice during my first trimester, and it was my first time there. As you can imagine I was TONS of fun! No coffee, no alcohol, no late nights. Then it was Palm Beach, five months pregnant. I wasn't pregnant enough to actually look cute in a bikini. I just looked fat — like the girl you want to ask "when are you due?" but fear that she might not actually be pregnant. Yes, that was me at the pool all week. Next, I spent three months in Hell, literally. A full South Carolina 105-degree summer seven to nine months pregnant. Then we finished off the summer with a Michigan trip at 36 weeks pregnant. I spent most of the time planning how and where we would deliver my baby should the event arise. I had little spots picked out in every airport and every airplane. My poor husband! I waddled all the way up there then was too pregs to do anything but sit and eat. But we made it there and back with no baby.
Then on September 16, 2011, my life completely changed. Carter was born and it really began. I spent the first eight weeks isolated in my home, craving adult conversation, crying because I was delirious from lack of sleep and raging hormones, trying to figure out this little gassy man. Then at some point after week 12, we all started to click. Carter is amazing, he is happy, playful, and sleeping all night (Thank You, God!). Routine down, we are now going to attempt our first family vacation. I'm sure many of you have your own stories from your attempts to trek across the land, baby in tow. Please do share below. Anyway, St. John it is on Delta and SPG points. Rick and my mother will be joining us as we embark on the first of many journeys. My goal here is to share some of what I have learned in preparation as well as to gather tips from you all on the best way to make this happen.
The jewel of a blog I found a while back is Have Baby Will Travel. If you travel with kids, this blog is it. I owe a lot of these tips to her. Thank you to those who have gone before and are willing to share the wisdom. And of course, fellow travel hacker Mommy Points blog has been a Godsend as well.
Basic Trip Tips
1. Get baby used to room-temperature formula.
This will allow you to avoid the hassle of trying to heat bottles on the go. (If you breastfeed, you have no worries here.) I will admit we aren't there yet. Still working on it. We plan to put powdered formula into bottles and use bottled water as we go. I am also going to try to feed Carter just before we board so he is one happy man during the flight.
2. Everyone travel in comfortable clothes and bring extra.
When going through security, everyone must remove jackets and shoes — including baby man — so he will be traveling in footed zip-up PJs. And we'll bringing one extra layer and one extra outfit in case of a "blow out."
3. Pack baby's things in among all of the luggage.
If you put all of your kid's things in one bag and that one bag gets lost, you are SOL. Can you imagine going to some remote location and having all your feeding, changing, and bathing stuff lost? I didn't even think of this until I read "Have Baby Will Travel." I am so thankful she tipped me off on it.
4. In the Carry-on
(No, Rick, we won't be carry-on only. Sorry I gotta break the rules this time.)
- a few toys/books
- bottles and formula/cereal
- one diaper per hour of travel
- tons of wipes
- extra pacifiers
- travel-sized toiletries
- antihistamine
- Tylenol
- Excedrin (for me and anyone else who needs some)
- one blanket
5. Arrive early for everything!
With Rick that won't be a problem since we will all be up at 3:30 a.m. on our way to the airport.
6. Stay Healthy.
- Buy travel sanitizing wipes and use them everywhere. (Yes, I'm going to be that mom.)
- Wash your hands and baby's frequently.
- Sleep well before, during, and after travels. (Easier said than done with a five-month old.)
- Stay hydrated
- Take your vitamins, everyone.
7. Keep a routine
Yes, it is vacation, but do your best to keep your family on a normal sleep/feed schedule. It will pay off by not having an extra-irritable child later on.
So away we go for our first real family trip! I know it will be a blast but I also know there will be challenges and I know a lot of you baby-haters on the plane will glare as I walk by. I'm sorry and I will do my best. I was the baby-hater once, too, but now I understand. We will sit in the back, get up and walk out when baby fusses, and keep stinky diapers as far away from you as possible. Wish us luck!
Please send in your tips and stories now if you have any. They make a huge difference.

IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card
- Annual Fee: $49 fee waived for the first year
- Foreign Fees: No
- Card Type: Hotel
The IHG Rewards Club Visa is often cited as one of the most underrated hotel credit cards, with good reason. The official offer is for 70,000 points after $1,000 spent within three months, with the first year's fee waived. The card comes with an annual free night certificate that can be used at any IHG property, including Intercontinental hotels - making this certificate worth upwards of 50,000 points. This is far more generous than some other hotel cards, which limit the categories in which free night certificates can be redeemed.
Cardholders earn 5 points per dollar at IHG hotels; 2 points per dollar at gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants; 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Moreover, you'll get a 10% rebate on award redemptions, up to 100,000 points per year. The card also comes with Platinum status, though that doesn't get you much with IHG. Still, this is a fantastic card to have in your wallet, with benefits that far outweigh the already low $49 annual fee.
- Earn 70,000 bonus points after you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months of account opening
- Enjoy a free night of card membership at over 4,700 hotels worldwide
- Earn 5 points for each $1 spent at our hotels
- Earn 2 points per $1 spent on purchases at gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants
- Bonus points redeemable at hotels such as Intercontinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts and Holiday Inn®
- Automatic platinum elite status, as long as you remain a cardmember
- $0 introductory annual fee the first year, then $49

Open Office vs. Libre Office
I'm looking for a MS Office alternative for someone who does not want to pay for MS's version and really has only occasional need for such software (most of which is for reading emails sent to her in a format requiring an Office program to open it). I know about the Open Office alternative and have only recently learned of Libre Office. Has anyone here tried both of these programs who can give a brief review of which one you consider better ?
Thanks !
I use OO and it suits my needs well. I've not used LO yet, and since they are so closely related I wouldn't expect the differences to impact me very much. Since both are free, you should just flip a coin and take one for a test drive. There's really nothing to lose.
Same soup, different gravy as Mikie notes. But read report linked below for a fuller explanation.
Here is a link that might be useful: Open Office and Libre Office
I downloaded and installed Libre Office several days ago. Other than just opening the word processor, I haven't really used it at all. Just thought I'd give it a try since I'm not really keen on Oracle's actions with what was an open source program.

Wabash College President Gregory Hess announced the appointment of Michael F. Thorp as Dean for Enrollment Management at the liberal arts college for men.
Hard work, developing interests, and a supportive environment combined to give him this unique experience of going as far as any Wally ever has in the electronic music genre.
Travis Flock was beginning an internship eight months ago tracking an invasive species as part of a long-term study. Earlier this year, he presented his findings to peers and professors at the Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work.
Wabash offers its students superb educational development, small, personalized classes, world-class facilities, and the nation's most engaging and accessible professors. As President Pat White likes to say, "We take young men who do not know how good they are and shine a light on their best ambition and best possibilities of themselves. And they say, 'I can do that, I can accomplish that, I can be that.' Wabash challenges young men to take their lives seriously."

Another GREAT Money Maker being posted today! Here's the deal on how you can get a $25 for FREE from American Express Prepaid Cards! Right now they are running a promotion that when you purchase a Prepaid American Express card for $25 you'll get another $25 for FREE!
This deal is now dead.
So here's the deal. Head over and purchase a $25 Prepaid American Express Card (that will be mailed to you) and enter code: AEPC25 and check out. Shipping is FREE and as long as you've put $25 on it within the first 45 days, you'll get the extra $25 American Express Gift Card – which just doubled your money! You of course have to option to add money to it later when it arrives as well or you will have to use your bank account to add the money today.
After I completed my order I was given these steps:
1. Watch for 2 small deposits to your account within the next 3 days.
2. Once the deposits are complete, you will receive an e-mail from us to verify the deposits.
3. Follow the instructions for setting up an account and verifying your deposits.
So to keep it simple, I'd load it later when it arrives BUT make sure you use the promo code now to get the bonus!
This is a SWEET deal because sometimes there are offers we post about that need a credit card number to get something absolutely FREE. Instead of using your actual credit card or debit card information, we typically recommend using prepaid cards to still be able to get the deal without having all your accounts become vulnerable.

Botha confirms Toulon switch
ESPNscrum Staff
March 7, 2011
Botha has reportedly put pen to paper on a three-year deal with Top 14 club Toulon © Getty Images
Toulon have confirmed the signing of South Africa lock Bakkies Botha on a three-year deal.
The 31-year-old World Cup winner has signed a three-year deal that will see him link up with the big-spending Top 14 club after this year's Rugby World Cup. Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal told regional newspaper La Provence that Botha, "is perfectly fitting Toulon's criteria, which means that he is a high-power lock."
The Springboks veteran, who has 72 caps, has won both the Super Rugby title and the Currie Cup with the Bulls was previously targeted by Toulon in 2009 but the French club were thwarted due to his existing with contract.
The deal is worth a reported 700,000 euros (£589,000) a year and will see Botha follow in the footsteps of long-time second row partner Victor Matfield who had a spell with the club during the 2007-08 season.
Australian star Matt Giteau also recently signed a three-year deal to join the club after the World Cup and both will join a star-studded squad that already includes England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson, Wales international Gavin Henson and Argentina playmaker Felipe Contepomi.
Toulon are currently eighth in the Top 14 table and struggling to secure a place in this season's play-offs but have a Heineken Cup quarter-final date with Perpignan next month.

I spotted these mini additions over at Remodelista and I think they're a great idea if you've got the space. In lieu of an addition, Flexa Studio offers 10-by-12-foot prefab structures as an easy way to add extra space. All that's required is a foundation on which to bolt the structure (which comes pre-assembled or as a panelized kit).
Designed by San Francisco architect Casper Mork-Ulnes in collaboration with Houseplans.com, the eco-friendly structure uses FCS-certified lumber, recycled denim insulation, and prefabricated elements for minimal waste.
Another great selling point: no permits. According to Houseplans, "in most jurisdictions, permits are not required for structures that are 120 square feet or less."

Why is the retainCount from the NSArray and NSMutableArray different?
Nobody outside of apple knows for sure (but I'm sure soon there will be somebody that claims he knows exactly why that happened).
The mutable one can't be reused because you can add objects to it.
Do not use retainCount!
From the apple documentation:
The reason is that [[NSArray alloc] init] returns the same object no matter how many times you call it. Look at this code:
The output is:
This makes sense, because NSArray is immutable, and all empty arrays are identical. It looks like NSArray keeps an empty array handy for this purpose since the retain count for the array pointed to by array1, array2, and array3 is 4.
I don't disagree with @fluchtpunkt's answer, but I think it's safe to say that we know exactly why this happens. I suppose you could say that nobody knows exactly why Apple chose to implement it this way, but it does seem like a good idea.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The is a precision waveform generator IC capable of producing sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse waveforms, with a minimum number of external components and adjustments. The 8038A allows the elimination of the external distortion adjusting resistor which greatly improves the temperature drift of distortion, as well as lowering external parts count. Its operating frequency can be selected over eight decades of frequency, from 200KHz, by the choice of external R-C components. The frequency of oscillation is highly stable over a wide range of temperature and supply voltage changes. Both full frequency sweeping as well as smaller frequency variations (FM) can be accomplished with an external control voltage. Each of the three basic waveform outputs, (i.e., sine, triangle and square) are simultaneously available from independent output terminals. The XR-8038A monolithic waveform generator uses advanced processing technology and Schottky-barrier diodes to enhance its frequency performance. It can be readily interfaced with a monolithic phase-detector circuit, such as the XR-2228 to form stable phase-locked circuits. FEATURES Low Frequency Drift 50ppm/°C, Typical Simultaneous Sine, Triangle, and Square Wave Outputs Low Sine Wave Distortion THD 1% High FM and Triangle Linearity Wide Frequency Range to 200KHz Variable Duty Cycle to 98% Low Distortion Variation with Temperature APPLICATIONS Precision Waveform Generation Sweep and FM Generation Tone Generation Instrumentation and Test Equipment Design Precision PLL Design ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Power Supply 36V Power Dissipation (package limitation) Ceramic Package 750mW Derate Above +25°C 6.0mW/°C Plastic Package 625mW Derate Above +25°C 5mW/°C Storage Temperature Range to +150°C Small frequency deviation (FM) is accomplished by applying modulation voltage to Pins 7 and 8; large frequency deviation (sweeping) is accomplished by applying voltage to Pin 8 only. Sweep range is typically 1000:1. The square wave output is an open collector transistor; output amplitude swing closely approaches the supply voltage. Triangle output amplitude is typically 1/3 of the supply, and sine wave output reaches 0.22 of the supply voltage. The XR-8038A precision waveform generator produces highly stable and sweepable square, triangle, and sine waves across eight frequency decades. The is an advanced version of the XR-8038, with improved sine distortion temperature drift. The device time base employs resistors and a capacitor for frequency and duty cycle determination. The generator contains dual comparators, a flip-flop driving a switch, current sources, buffers, and a sine wave convertor. Three identical frequency outputs are simultaneously available. Supply voltage can range from to ±15V with dual supplies. Unadjusted sine wave distortion is typically less than 0.7% with the sine wave distortion adjust pin (Pin 1) open. Distortion levels may be improved by including a 100k potentiometer between the supplies, with the wiper connected to Pin 1. PIN ASSIGNMENT

Celtic centre-back Virgil van Dijk is confident teammate Fraser Forster will make England's World Cup squad this year.
The 25-year old has kept 11 clean sheets in a row in Scotland prompting van Dijk to suggest that he should be Roy Hodgson's number one, ahead of Manchester City's Joe Hart, in Brazil this summer.
"Fraser is a phenomenal goalkeeper, one of the best in the world," he said.
"Throughout this season he has shown he is a world-class goalkeeper and he has proved himself in the Champions League.
"I think he should go to the World Cup this summer and if I was the coach of England I would certainly put Fraser as my number one."
But van Dijk was quick to point out that the entire Hoops line-up needs to be congratulated for breaking Celtic's 92-year shutout record.
"However, I think the whole team should be proud of the record. The back four and Fraser have done a good job and we are very proud of that," van Dijk added.
"It is not easy to be unbeaten for as many games as we have (24 in the league) and hopefully we will be able to beat the (British) record (of 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal)."

Alabama Soldier Killed in Iraq
By Alabama Public Radio
Baghdad, Iraq – An Alabama soldier is among eight Americans who were killed in a weekend attack in Iraq. Stephen "Dusty" Hiller died in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City on Sunday. The cause of death was not immediately released. Hiller graduated from Opelika High School in the mid-1990s. He was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. He had been in Iraq for about a month. His relatives granted interviews to the newspaper Opelika-Auburn News. It reports Hiller's wife is expecting the couple's first child in August and learned of her husband's death Sunday. Funeral arrangements are pending.

The recipe looks great. How many servings it will have? And I agree with other poster - Basil definitely adds up more taste to Italian Cuisines.
REVIEWER: pegray
Has anyone tried this one in a slow cooker please?
REVIEWER: cookin4two
We enjoyed this dish, easy to prepare and the flavours were nice. Felt it could be improved by adding some herbs and/or diced bacon, just for extra flavour. Thanks.
REVIEWER: cookin4two
Tried this last week and thought the same thing so I think I'll give it another go adding some diced bacon and oregano, not really fussed on basil. :)
REVIEWER: grandmar
Made this about ten days ago and enjoyed it very much. Being only two of us, we had leftovers and I put it in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days. When I fetched it out I reheated it and served it over pasta; it was even better than the first meal. The tomato flavour had developed to the point it was almost sweet. I didn't use any herbs or wine, just made it to the recipe. Lynne

So – how to learn online? What is involved in learning online or by distance education?
Clearly learning online is different to how most of us learned at primary and secondary school. So to what extent will the skills we acquired and used there help us? Probably not a lot. In fact, it is probably better to forget about how we did it at school altogether. Learning online is completely different and it is confusing to try to equate the two things.
When you're learning in a classroom setting, the teacher is always there to help you learn and to structure your learning. But when you're learning online, there is nobody actually physically present to help you with your online study. However, you are usually given a structure within which to learn and e-tutors to help you. But in the end it depends on you to be motivated and dedicated. Of course, this is true of any learning – only YOU can do it.
How to learn online: What tools are needed?
Your main tools for online study are a computer/laptop/tablet and the Internet. And if you are already using one of the social networking sites such as FaceBook, then you will probably have most of the basic skills.
You will need to be able to send an e-mail and use the Internet. You will also need to become familiar with posting messages to a discussion forum, so try doing that on some of the public forums first. Remember to observe the network etiquette (sometimes called "netiquette") outlined below.
You will probably be creating documents (e.g., in Microsoft Office or Open Office) and attaching them to e-mail messages or uploading them to an "assignment post box" in the learning management system used by your institution.
Learning online using network etiquette
Here are a few of the golden rules for Internet communication in the online learning setting:
- Always show respect for your classmates and instructors. Although computer-mediated communication can seem impersonal, there is a person at the other end. Think of the feelings of that other person. And always avoid offensive language.
- Read all the posts related to the discussion before commenting. That way you avoid unnecessary repetition. If you find that someone has made a comment that you agree with, say so, but build on it so that the discussion is taken further.
- Learn the language of the Internet. There are a lot of conventions that have emerged in this form of communication, e.g., using all capitals means that you are shouting. So best to learn them or you might find yourself upsetting someone.
- Stay on topic. Keep what you are saying brief and to the point. Do not introduce new topics or it creates a very confusing string of emails. If you want to talk about a new topic, start a new email thread with a new subject heading.
- Review you work before sending it. Sometimes we write things in the "heat of the moment", or make silly mistakes. So always leave aside what you have written for a little while, then review it with a fresh mind, modify it, review again and then send it.
- Always respect the privacy of others. Do not share their email or other details with people without their consent.
- And, of course, do not use the Internet to send inappropriate material.

City of Fredericksburg officials expect to bolster services while decreasing property taxes over the next year, according to the latest projections in their 2014-2015 budget proposal.
City Manager Kent Myers presented the proposal during a regular meeting of the Fredericksburg City Council Monday evening. The proposal would add nearly $12 million to next year's budget, jumping from $38.4 million to $50.2 million in total spending.
Featured in the budget are $10.3 million in capital expenditures, including a new cell at the city landfill, street improvements on Brehmer Lane as well as $5.8 million in water and wastewater improvement projects funded from a $6.5 million bond project approved in 2013.
Frustrated residents living in a 145-acre area southeast of Fredericksburg along U.S 290 East voiced their opposition to being annexed by the City of Fredericksburg during a public hearing held Monday evening.
"At the first meeting, we asked a lot of detailed questions about what was going to be involved, but what I don't think was said that night is 'I don't want to be annexed,'" Danz Lane resident Wayne Turrentine said. "I speak for a lot of my neighbors who will come up and tell you the same thing."
No decision was made by the council, though they are expected to begin the institution of annexation proceedings during a special meeting on Sept. 8.
Residents in the area with an agriculture-exemption on their property taxes have until 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, to opt out of annexation for a 15-year period. As of Monday, three of the 10 ag-exempt properties have opted to delay annexation.

Along with the livestock competitions at the Gillespie County Fair Grounds, the fair will feature a carnival and midway, music, parade, queen's contest, live pari-mutuel horse racing, washer pitching, mutton busting, domino tournament, vendors and more. — Standard-Radio Post/Yvonne Hartmann

Harkin Statement on Wage and Overtime Protections for Home Care Workers
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, today issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Labor finalized a critical rule to ensure fair wages for workers providing in-home care and support to seniors and people with disabilities. The finalized rule will amend an existing regulation that exempts 2 million home care workers from the Fair Labor Standards Act, and will ensure that most home care employees are protected by minimum wage and overtime standards. Harkin, who was the Senate author of the Americans with Disabilities Act, strongly supports the final rule and believes it will greatly benefit both the care providers and those for whom they provide support.
"This new rule is a long overdue step to provide basic fairness for those who support and care for some of our most vulnerable citizens. Caring for the elderly and providing support for those with disabilities so they can continue to live in their own homes and be active members of their communities is an invaluable service. This rule recognizes the importance of these jobs and ensures that home care providers will have the same protections and rights as all other workers. I applaud the Department of Labor for issuing these rules and look forward to their thoughtful, careful implementation.
"This new rule has the potential to provide tremendous benefits for both home care workers and those they support. With thoughtful implementation, these rules can help reduce turnover and increase the size and quality of the home care workforce. At the same time, we want to make sure the rules are implemented in such a way as to ensure that no one who depends on the services of an in-home provider suffers from the loss of services. I encourage Secretary Perez and the entire Administration to engage the elderly and disability communities as these rules are implemented, to hear their concerns and ideas and to ensure continued services are protected.
"I thank the Secretary for his great leadership on finalizing this rule and look forward to its implementation for the benefit of both home care workers and those they support."

Vegan Baking and Sweets
Cinnamon Ice Cream
Since I've been making ice cream twice a week (at least) for the entire month of July, it's only fair that I share, right? I made this ice cream with my students in our Vegan Desserts class a few weeks ago and everyone really enjoyed it. The consistency is a little like soft-serve. You can allow it to firm up more in the freezer for a while, if you have more patience than I usually do. But honestly, this is ridiculously good either way. Recipe and photo contributed by Vicki Brett-Gach from her blog Ann Arbor Vegan Kitchen.
Chocolate Chip Gelato
Instead if buying store-bought non-dairy ice creams, you can make a batch of homemade vegan ice cream, with the best ingredients from your own kitchen, in just about 30 minutes. That's close to what it might take to gather your group, drive somewhere, and wait in line for vegan ice cream – that is, if you were able to find one you really liked. Last weekend I got so inspired that I made three separate batches of ice cream. Here I share one of my all-time favorites – Chocolate Chip Gelato. It knocked everyone's socks off, and could not be easier, with just four ingredients. Recipe and photo contributed by Vicki Brett-Gach from her blog Ann Arbor Vegan Kitchen.
Unbaked Fig Bars
It's amazing to me that a dessert this good can be free of refined flour or refined sugar. These fig bars have all of the chewiness and sweetness of traditional Fig Newton cookies, but they're made with wholesome almonds, oats, and real dried figs.

Coconutty for Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies taste every bit as sweet and indulgent as a cookie should, but they're surprisingly nutritious. Walnuts contribute healthy omega-3 fatty acids, while coconut lends its anti-inflammatory properties and cacao nibs give the cookies a little antioxidant boost. Whether for benefits or for the taste, I enjoy these cookies both as midday snacks and as dessert. From Choosing Raw: Making Raw Foods Part of the Way You Eat by Gena Hamshaw.

Creamy Peanut Butter Pie
You won't believe that this light and luscious pie—kissed with the dynamic duo of peanut butter and dark chocolate—is made with tofu and only a touch of agave nectar for sweetness. In fact, this is a nutrient-rich dessert you can really feel good about indulging in!

Peanut Butter–Chocolate Chip Bars
These are kind of a chewy granola bar. Perfect for a lunch box treat, a picnic, or hey, since there's cereal and oatmeal in there, why not breakfast? These are so easy and so much yummier than packaged granola bars that there is no reason not to give 'em a go. If you love a salty–sweet combo, you can use roasted salted peanuts here, or increase the amount of salt by a big pinch.

I also love that you can make these with any fruit you can blend! Recipe and photo contributed by Meg Staples, of Veggie Staples. more→
