how long did they stay in same bed? Mine are 3.5mo corrected and are still in the arms reach cosleeper together-- they are getting too long (i lay them crosswise) but I dont want to separate them--I love to see them hold hands at night. They are kicking around a lot and waking each other at times. I just don't know. Separating them doesn't seem right--they wait for each other to "get into bed" before they fall asleep.
Advice? BTDT stories?

I guess sleeping together in a crib would still be too crowded? What about sharing a mattress on the floor?
Married to my love since 08/12/10, mama to E 04/06/01 and twin girls M and Z 01/08/11
We are a family! Expecting #4 and #5 in September - what a surprise!
A crib is a decent size bigger than the co-sleeper. I think that could work! I'm only buying one crib for now. i'm interested in hearing what others have been doing.
mine slept diagonally on a cosleeper till 6-7 months and yeah it got crowded big time, i finally moved one the cribs in and sidecarred it and wow, all the difference in the world, they loved it, i loved it and i felt silly for not doing it earlier. i got a firm foam block that crammed in and filled the space between their mattress and mine and it was against the wall and our king bed was tight against it so thing felt super secure. some foam block (was actually from 2 reading wedges and the center from my nursing pillow, had i dont this set up earlier i would have bought a single smooth firmer piece that fit perfectly) fit tight and stuck up about 6-8 inches above their level 4-6 inches above my bed which was 2 inches higher. it worked great as a barrier and in the mornings after they work later on they would sit and play in their crib right next to me while i rested and kept an eye on them, we kept this set up till they could crawl over the barrier at about 10m when we put the side back on, but kept it next to me.
the greatest thing about the crib sidecarred with the foam was that i could actually lay the top half of my body in the crib and nurse someone in place if i wanted to. i didn't do it a lot, but when some teethe came in and one wanted to nurse a lot and the other would only wake if i took one out of the crib, this allowed me to leave them in the crib together and sooth them back to bed. it actually was pretty slick.
hee they are at 10.5 months right before we put the side back on, and yeah that is my girl giving her little brother a back rub.
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
Ours shared a sidecarred crib until 8 months, at which point they got a bit big for it and we moved them to a queen sized futon on the floor in their room (still together). We block rolling with pillows. I wind up sleeping there most nights.
Ours shared our bed/cosleeper and then a crib until they were about 6 months old. Then, M began moving a lot and ended up on top of Q and woke her too many nights. After that, we had them in seperate cribs, pushed together and parallel, so they could always see each other, etc. They stayed like that until we took the side off when they were 20 months. At 22 months, they began to leave their cribs and push them around the room to climb onto other furniture. Now, they sleep on their crib mattresses on the floor pushed next to each other.
They don't cuddle or anything, and they certainly claim one bed as their own...there's no swapping back and forth, but they do get upset if the other isn't right there. We've also woken in the middle of the night to Q yelling at M to get back in her own bed! M was sound asleep in Q's bed and Q was not happy about it!
I am a twin and at 18 months would climb into my sister's crib every night. So, I never wanted ours girls separate. But, just as my sister and I are different people, so are my girls. They are such different sleepers.
We're expecting another set and I will start them off together and we'll go from there. Who knows!

Thanks. I guess I need to just sidecar the crib. I'm just worried that I don't know what to fill any gaps with (or where to get it).
Me and DH, parents to:
DD1 (06/09), Twin DD2 and DS1 (born 3/12- 6 weeks early due to IUGR)
Ours shared a crib-sized cosleeper until right around a year. I put them down short ways, so they had lots of side to side room, and as they grew their feet stretched into our bed. Daddy built the co-sleeper, so there was no gap to worry about.
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
My boys slept together until they were about 10 months old. They started off in a basinet because we lived in a very small apartment and had no room for a crib. We moved when the boys were about 5 months old and they were moved to a crib. At about 10 months old I tried to put them down for a nap (they slept feet to head) and I heard giggling. I went to investigate and saw them both on their knees facing each other bumping heads! Too bad I didn't grab the camera on the way up the stairs. Anyway, we borrowed another crib from a neighbour and put them side by side. One night when I went into their room to check on them, they were holding hands. It was so cute. Now they sleep in their own beds (they're five) and they are protective of their space, but they won't go to sleep unless the other one is there. They have been like that their whole lives. But it stands to reason, they were womb mates after all .....

My two turned 4 in June and they still sleep together . They slept in our king size bed with us for the first 2.5 years and then we slowly them to sleeping on the double size bed in their room.

OK, so I went ahead and sidecarred our crib and they have so much more room. I stuffed quilts on the far side and pushed the mattress up to our bed. It is still about 4 inches lower than our bed. I'm worried that the end of the crib that is midway down our bed could be unsafe--am I just overly cautious? could it be a strangulation hazard (a curious head getting stuck)? Our crib is a convertible so i put the mattress in high position and left the front panel off.

DD1 (06/09), Twin DD2 and DS1 (born 3/12- 6 weeks early due to IUGR)
Our girls are in a king bed with us, with a crib sidecarred to the side, but no one's actually sleeping in the crib yet! We put the crib there because that's how we slept with DS (now 3). Now with the twins, we've pushed the bed againt the wall and actually have the girls on that side next to the wall, vs being in the crib. They sleep next to each other, perpendicular to the wall and to me. So their heads are by the wall, and their feet are at my side. Then when they stir, I just move to nurse whoever stirs, and either go back to my original spot, or fall asleep with one nursing. I basically just shuffle to whoever needs to nurse. Sounds a bit crazy, I know, but it works for us! I find that if I sleep with a babe on either side of me, they always skootch closer and closer to me in the night, so I end up squished in between them and then can't roll over to nurse the other one! Then I can't get back to sleep cause I'm too aware of which girl is potentially going to get squashed when I roll over to feed her! I'm not sure how long our current configuration will work, not sure if eventually one or both will end up in the crib. We'll see!!
Oh, and when DS was in the crib, I was also worried about the part of the bed that was open (without the crib there) and ended up piling a whole bunch of pillows on the floor there. Sure enough, DS crawled his way out after a nap once, tumbled off the bed, and was saved when he landed on the pillow mound!
ETA: I think one of the reasons our configuration works, is because I'm really short, so I don't take up the whole bed when I lie the other way!!

Mine were preemies--by the time they came home they were still between 4-5lbs. I started with them perpendicular to our bed in an arms reach full size cosleeper and it was perfect until now--they are now 12 &14 lbs. I recommend it. I just changed to sidecarring our crib and that seems to be working.
Me and DH, parents to:
DD1 (06/09), Twin DD2 and DS1 (born 3/12- 6 weeks early due to IUGR)
Ours were born at 6 pounds, but we did perpendicular to the bed in a sidecarred crib (like the arm's reach setup, but lasts a bit longer). But I loved the way it kept them very close, yet let me sleep a little more deeply.
With my other 2 we had a co-sleeper and I'd roll over nurse them in the co-sleeper and not move them. With 2 it seems there'd be more shuffling. I never had much luck moving a baby after they were already asleep after nursing. (Hence my previous plan.)

There was a lot of shuffling, and they put up with it up to about six months. Now they're very hard to move while asleep.
Mine were preemies too, and also between 4-5 lbs when they came home. I had/have them perpendicular to me in the bed and it works well for us. I shuffle to whoever wakes because mine are not easily transfered once they're asleep. They were more easily transfered for the first 4 months, which actually coincided with the time when they'd wake at the same time and I could nurse them simultaneously on the nursing pillow. At around 4 months they started waking at different times, which allowed me to start nursing them while side-lying. Now, every once in a while, they'll wake at the same time and I'll either nurse them simultaneously (in any number of crazy ways/positions including sort of hovering over them to keep them lying down/in the position where they can stay asleep!) or I can nurse one and offer the other my finger or knuckle to suck on while she waits (they spit out pacifiers but not my finger!).

Mint considers eliminating $1 bills entirely
Washington - American consumers have shown about as much appetite for the $1 coin as kids have for their spinach. They may not know what's best for them either. Congressional auditors say doing away with dollar bills entirely and replacing them with dollar coins could save taxpayers some $4.4 billion over the next 30 years.
Vending machine operators have long championed the use of $1 coins because they don't jam the machines, cutting down on repair costs and lost sales. But most people don't seem to like carrying them. In the past five years, the U.S. Mint has produced 2.4 billion presidential $1 coins. Most are stored by the Federal Reserve, and production was suspended about a year ago. »Read Full Article(33)

Mets Send Pagan to Giants for Ramirez, Torres, N.Y. Times Says
Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Mets traded centerfielder Angel Pagan to the San Francisco Giants for reliever Ramon Ramirez and added two free-agent pitchers from the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen, the New York Times said.
The Pagan trade, which also included Giants outfielder Andres Torres, is contingent on the players passing physicals, the Times reported, citing a person familiar with the deal.
Pagan, 30, who hit .262 with 68 runs scored, 56 runs batted in and seven home runs last season, was traded the day after Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters at the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings in Dallas that he expected Pagan to be his leadoff hitter next season.
Pagan's exit came a day after Jose Reyes agreed to join the Miami Marlins after nine seasons with the Mets. Reyes, 28, hit .337 last season to become the first Mets player to win the National League batting title.
Going into the free-agent market, the Mets also signed Blue Jays relievers Jon Rauch to a one-year agreement and Frank Francisco to a two-year contract, the Times said.
Rauch, 33, pitched 52 innings last season, finishing with 11 saves and a 4.85 earned run average. Francisco, 32, pitched 50 2/3 innings, with 17 saves and a 3.55 ERA.
Ramirez, 30, allowed 54 hits in 68 2/3 innings for the Giants with 66 strikeouts. Torres, 33, hit .221 with 19 steals in 112 games.

The Good
SKYMAN kicks off in just the right spot -- both for a series revamp and for a story that feels connected to a bigger universe -- and launches us immediately into no-nonsense action. Structurally, it's about as new-reader-friendly as an issue can get without being a total hand-hold, opening with a concise recap of the-story-so-far, an instant action sequence to grab interest right away, and the swift debut of a reluctant hero (sprinkled with just enough information about the past to give us context and buy-in). For CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT fans, there's an instant connection to make, and the handoff feels very clean.
So often, the differences between a superhero and their civilian alter ego are trivial; take off the suit and add a less glamorous lifestyle, bam. With Eric Reid, we're given a hero who is on an entirely different plane when he's in the suit -- his daytime counterpart isn't just a guy, he's a guy who can't move without feeling intense physical pain (and we haven't even scratched the surface of the psychological impacts of his injury and the events that caused it). Widening the gap between a hero's super-self and their mundane-self makes Eric's struggles to balance his two lives that much more interesting -- I can't wait to see if he gets addicted to being in the suit just because of its departure from his normal life.
Driving much of the narrative in this issue is a storm of racial tensions; not only does the initial action sequence call the former Skyman's bigoted views to everyone's attention, but General Abernathy's reaction is also very tightly grounded in race and public perception. Further complicating these tensions is the stew of emotional reactions from the team; Lt. Sharp's anger may be rooted in rejection rather than prejudice, but everything gets muddled -- and heated -- very quickly. It will be interesting to see whether Skyman's struggles with a racially-biased team/system will outshine his battles against series villains; this book could take several widely variant directions depending how it's handled in subsequent issues.
The book's handling of its primary antagonist (so far) is very strong -- not only is there the intrigue of an enemy within the ranks, but there's plenty of potential for added complexity when Skyman and his unreliable-puppeteer face a common greater threat. Will he let Skyman succeed despite his deep and lethal resentment, or ditch him at the last moment?
The Bad
Manuel Garcia does a killer job of drawing the Skyman suit and expressing superhero-scale movement; it's really clear that he loves drawing heroes in action. I'm a little bit less in love with how the civilian side of the story is shaping up visually; things seem to move and drape a little bit less cleanly when they aren't on or near a spandex-clad hero.
The Verdict
SKYMAN debuts with exactly the right beats to set up a promising and engaging new ongoing -- it's not as inaccessible as some revamps (which make readers feel obligated to "do homework" on the older version of the series) and it's completely straightforward in its narrative. The book is loaded with complexity -- in the form of character interactions (and conflicts!) and personal discovery (hello, brand new suit and hero-job!) -- and Fialkov & Co. have seeded plenty of exciting story possibilities. I'm sticking with this series to see how the "who's running the show?" dynamic plays out, and expecting a few surprises and a lot of brawls.

"But we do it. We now require the Hepatitis B vaccine for every child in America," he adds. "The only people who are at risk [for Hepatitis B] are health workers, intravenous drug users or needle sharers, or people who are sexually promiscuous and often have unprotected sex. Not your average child."
Cho echoes his concerns. "This vaccine is encouraging the belief that we can make problems go away," she says. "The only way we're going to do that is by talking to our kids and knowing where they are and who they're with."
"It's not that there is no place for a vaccine like this," she continues. "But it's not here, with kids."
The Way They Work
The vaccines work similarly to other vaccinations. Antibodies that recognize cocaine as an intruder are injected into the bloodstream. Once the anti-bodies have been introduced, they attach themselves to the cocaine, preventing and "neutralizing" the effect of the drug.
Cocaine, a very small chemical molecule in comparison to most "infections," can usually slip through undetected and alter the body to get the high associated with the drug. However, even if you do take some cocaine with the antibodies in your system, your body will not respond with a high.
Work is underway researching another type of vaccination, one which would teach the body to make its own antibodies against the drug like most traditional children's vaccines such as polio or the measles. The current anti-cocaine antibodies are part of another vaccine type. To keep the antibodies in your system, the current vaccine would require booster shots like those for tetanus with much more frequency, maybe as often as every few weeks.
Considering the involved process, Landry's skepticism towards using the vaccines as a preventative is not unwarranted.
His thoughts are shared by Dr. Kim Janda, a professor at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA, and principle investigator of Scripps' work towards a drug super-vaccine. He says he doubts that there could be the long-term effects necessary for a child's inoculation.
"You'd need an almost constant booster," Janda says. "We have no idea if this would work in the long-term, and at this point, [an initial vaccine] definitely wouldn't last through the interim years" until the child is of an age to try cocaine.
"People have this idea that [an anti-drug vaccine] is a magic cure to surmount addiction," he adds. "It's just not realistic."
Back to the Future
There is no doubt that if they worked well, immuno-pharmacological agents like the anti-drug vaccines or one of the Food and Drug Administration's most recent approvals, Campral, an addiction aid for alcohol dependent individuals, would change the world of addiction treatments.
Dr. Paul Appelbaum, former Vice-President of the American Psychiatric Association, director of the Law and Psychiatry program, and professor and chair of the Psychiatry program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, in Worcester, MA, says that the vaccine "could be good at controlling that craving that comes with withdrawal."
But Appelbaum stresses that the vaccine's "first use is treatments for people who already have an addiction and have made a voluntary decision" to quit.

BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2010, 10:35 doi:10.1186/1471-2466-10-35Published: 7 June 2010
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects independence and survival in the general population, but it is unknown to which extent this conclusion applies to elderly people with mild disease. The aim of this study was to verify whether mild COPD, defined according to different classification systems (ATS/ERS, BTS, GOLD) impacts independence and survival in elderly (aged 65 to 74 years) or very elderly (aged 75 years or older) patients.
We used data coming from the Respiratory Health in the Elderly (Salute Respiratoria nell'Anziano, SaRA) study and compared the differences between the classification systems with regards to personal capabilities and 5-years survival, focusing on the mild stage of COPD.
We analyzed data from 1,159 patients (49% women) with a mean age of 73.2 years (SD: 6.1). One third of participants were 75 years or older. Mild COPD, whichever was its definition, was not associated with worse personal capabilities or increased mortality after adjustment for potential confounders in both age groups.
Mild COPD may not affect survival or personal independence of patients over 65 years of age if the reference group consists of patients with a comparable burden of non respiratory diseases. Comorbidity and age itself likely are main determinants of both outcomes.

Re: 2013 Was A Great Season!
2013 should have been the best year yet, almost all of the projects got done, some great sails, fabulous neighbours and some really interesting Wednesday nights. Then a freak storm ripped out two moorings and tangled two boats wrecking the bow on my 270 and the stern and engine on my buddy's H25.
Thankfully the cluster-u-know-what with the insurance people has only been slightly annoying, and things are starting to come together.
2014 will see a significant repair job which will include a new bow rail, stem fitting, a bunch of gelcoat work to what was (and will again be) a pristine hull, and installation of the Selden ring for the new sprit. It's not all a total loss, there's new go-fast involved!
Oh yeah, new barrier coat and I'm going to replace all the thru-hulls with machined to fit brass so they are flush to the existing holes, and installation of the CD rudder bushing repair kit to take that slop out.
(Should be ready by this time next year ha ha)

ADHD in Boys
My son seems to only find happiness in one thing...
My 11 year old who diagnosed ADHD (innattentive type) has always had a tendency to become fully obsessed with one interest and therefore seems to only be happy when engaged in that particular interest. I've read before that this can be a pesonality trait with certain types of ADHD but I haven't found much on how to help when this becomes an issue. His current obsession is collecting a certain toy and it seems like he's always needing the newest one and when there's nothing new to get he's empty or unfulfilled. He even has a difficult time having a conversation about anything other than his interest despite some of the social tips we've given him. My husband and I have discussed taking the hobby away from him all together to end the obsession but he's also the type that can slip into a mild state of depression easily.
Is there anyone out there who's dealt with this???

Joining the chorus in Tamil Nadu against the "Sanskrit Week" celebrations planned by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in its schools, DMK President M Karunanidhi on Monday asked the Centre to confine the proposal to Hindi-speaking states only.
"I urge the Union Government to issue a revised circular on this issue... The Centre announced that use of Hindi in social media was confined to Hindi-speaking States alone and such a stance should be adopted now in this issue," he said in a statement.
Urging the Modi Government to focus on livelihood issues of people, he said only such an approach would help avoid clash of ideas. "We have never accepted the imposition of either Hindi or Sanskrit. Celebration of Sanskrit Week in CBSE schools in Tamil Nadu is not acceptable," he added.
Hitting out at Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on the issue, he accused her of "double standards" as her regime had given a grant of Rs two crore to Vivekananda Cultural Centre in Chennai which has been "set up to teach Hindi and Sanskrit." Jayalalithaa and leaders of various other parties, including BJP's allies in the state MDMK and PMK, have objected to the Sanskrit Week celebrations planned next month across the country.

Injury ends Hall's career; Aztecs' bowl hopes expire
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Adam Hall endured two months of shoulder pain last season before having his season end early because of a serious concussion. He figured there was no way his senior season could be as agonizing.
It turns out that Hall's junior season was a breather compared with 2003. The quarterback's season ended early in the third quarter Saturday when he badly lacerated the ring finger on his left hand. With it went San Diego State's bowl hopes as the Aztecs lost 21-6 to Colorado State before 29,127 at Hughes Stadium.
Hall will miss this Saturday's season finale against Air Force. He's scheduled to see a hand surgeon to find out if he also sliced the tendon. He will undergo surgery early this week.
"You could see the bone," Hall said after the game, his hand heavily bandaged and in a bag of ice. "It was a deep cut."
The way Hall's career concluded was just as disappointing to his teammates as the loss that dropped the Aztecs to 5-6 overall and 2-4 in Mountain West Conference play.
"It's just terrible," senior offensive tackle Brendan Darby said. "That's no way for a player and a man like that to go out. It's just awful. Terrible."
Also disheartening was the manner in which the Aztecs consistently sputtered on third downs and failed to take charge early in the contest when they controlled Colorado State (6-5, 3-3) on both sides of the ball.
Colorado State led 7-6 at halftime, with its points coming on Ben Stratton's 35-yard interception return.
Then Hall got hurt early on the Aztecs' first offensive play of the second half. In fact, Hall's initial concern was trying to figure out why he was dropped for a 2-yard loss.
He was unsure of how he suffered the injury, guessing that he may have caught the finger on a defensive player's chin strap. On his way back to the huddle, he felt a throbbing pain.
"I looked down, and blood was dripping down my hand," Hall said. "I was going to go over (to the sidelines) but I just dried it off with my towel and threw the next pass."
Hall completed the pass, good for 23 yards to Jermaine Moore. Afterward, he was visibly in pain and clutching the finger as he headed to the sideline.
Trainers frantically worked on the hand as Hall grimaced in severe pain. The Aztecs called a timeout, and when play resumed, sophomore Matt Dlugolecki entered to replace Hall.
"I saw it," senior cornerback Jeff Shoate said. "It looked pretty bad. I'm just hoping for the best for him."
Hall held his fingers apart nearly half an inch to show the deepness of the cut.
"It was an open laceration," Hall said. "It wasn't a Band-Aid type of deal."
Several players said the injury had an emotional effect on the team. The Aztecs remained close despite the loss of Hall until the Rams scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns.
"It affected us a little bit," junior middle linebacker Kirk Morrison said. "He's the heart and soul of the offense. He does give us our best chance to win the ballgame. When he's not in there, your heart gets let down a little bit."

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in defence has received much attention in the run up to the budget announcements. The announcement to increase FDI in defence from 26% to 49% may not be attractive enough for foreign players, who were hoping for a minimum 51%. While the enhancement of FDI limits may enable the local defence industry to collaborate with foreign weapons manufacturers, the Indian government's position on technology transfer and local hiring will be most important. The new government needs to take a firm position on these issues, which will equip India with the necessary capabilities for indigenous defence production.
On the topic of military modernisation, there has been a lot of rhetoric in the budget. The announcement to allocate Rs. 5000 crore extra from the interim budget may be enough for ongoing acquisitions, but not for future ones such as the multi-role naval helicopter deal which carries an estimated cost of Rs. 6000 crore.
The Finance Minister expressed that a comprehensive policy will be announced to promote the Indian shipbuilding industry. This policy will hopefully consider the aspect of scaling up the involvement of local private shipyards which have played a small but impressive role in increasing our naval capabilities. Easier credit access and tax holidays for local R&D efforts are measures that will enable the local shipyards to commit more funds.
Arun Jaitley also announced a 'Technology Development Fund' to enhance R&D in defence technology. However, it is not clear if there will be a private sector participation, which has proved useful in integrating advanced technology in the locally manufactured weapons platforms, such as the nuclear submarine project

Funeral home: No one wants to bury bomb suspect
The April 15 bombing, which used pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards, killed three people and injured more than 260 others near the marathon's finish line.
The brothers decided to carry out the attack before Independence Day when they finished assembling the bombs, the surviving suspect told interrogators after he was arrested, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the investigation. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Investigators believe some of the explosives used in the attack were assembled in Tamerlan Tsarnaev's home, though there may have been some assembly elsewhere, one of the officials said. It does not appear that the brothers ever had big, definitive plans, the official said.
The brothers' mother insists the allegations against them are lies.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security ordered border agents to immediately begin verifying that every international student who arrives in the U.S. has a valid student visa, according to an internal memorandum obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The new procedure is the government's first security change directly related to the Boston bombings.
The order from a senior official at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, David J. Murphy, was circulated Thursday and came one day after President Barack Obama's administration acknowledged that one of the students accused of hiding evidence, Azamat Tazhayakov, of Kazakhstan, was allowed to return to the U.S. in January without a valid student visa.
Tazhayakov's lawyer has said he had nothing to do with the bombing and was shocked by it.
Associated Press writers Bridget Murphy and Mark Pratt in Boston and Pete Yost, Eileen Sullivan and Alicia A. Caldwell in Washington contributed to this report.

Endless brain fun-ness and challenge
I love the music (bought the soundtrack), I love the challenge (constantly going for achievement for the next level up), I love it on my iPad, I play and get so into it that I lose track of time trying to beat my high scores and achievements.
If you want good, fast-pace brain fun, this is a MUST get game!!!
Starts at a slow pace to get you into the groove of the game, achievements are also perfectly step-by-step for how well you get (as you play more, the achievements and challenge of the game keep up).
Can't stop trying to get achievements
I find myself always coming back to this game and quickly losing track of time. Between the music and the gameplay I am hooked. Would be nice to have crisper graphics on a retina display but no other ways I can imagine to improve.
Very nice game, well worth the price
This is a neat little puzzle game. It works really well on the iPhone/Touch. I would gladly pay $4.99 if a HD/iPad version came out. It's a simple puzzle game, like a 1-colum Tetris game that matches colors.

News and information on Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Posted in: Alaska, Oil.
Tagged: Alaska · Canada · Montana · Oil · Oil Reserves · Oil Sands · Oil Shale
Comments are closed.
Neil Rooney: Toxic waste and silent CEO ... It's now up to Shell to show beyond doubt that OSSL had toxic waste and not police alcohol in the van ..BVB you have been misled ...where did the toxic waste lie originate ?
POSTED FOR OSSL: Mr Donovan ...may we request that this Question is asked of BVB on your Shell Blog.
We asked him at the AGM but he did not answer.
Shell Ireland know the document is false there was no toxic waste ..there was alcohol.
We asked him at the AGM but he did not answer.
Shell Ireland know the document is false there was no toxic waste ..there was alcohol.
Relieved: I noticed the comment by Shell leadership that the world 'desperately' needed Arctic oil. Hmmm. The total consumption of crude these days approaches 30 billion bbls annually. With total Arctic oil reserves estimated to be around 90 billion bbls, that means there is roughly three (3) years worth of consumption to be had in the Arctic, with about one third to be found in US waters. A whopping three (3) years, and one (1) years worth of consumption respectively. It seems to me that US Arctic oil is needed by Shell far more than the world needs it.
Alan Poole: I have read the blog for a number of years and have become increasingly irritated by the negative postings. I have now retired from Shell after 32 years service, including the North Sea, Kazakhstan, Abu Dhabi. I will be making further postings revealing a few home truths about some of the people I have worked with and for, in these various locations.
Relieved: The revelation that the Omani gov't was/is spying on Shell should not come as any big shock. The revelation that Shell has its agents imbedded in foreign governmental agencies should also come as no big shock. It is the nature of the international oil business, and just a cost of doing business internationally. It is also common knowledge that RDS regularly spies on its own employees. There is nothing new here.
OSSL POSTING VIA EMAIL: .....Senior Irish Police officer Superintendent Gannon informs OSSL that the demand for lies about his actions against the people of Erris whilst assisting Shell to progress the Corrib Gas Development ...is a matter between them (OSSL) and Shell ...remarkably the Superintendent claims he had no knowledge of the resulting "demand for lies" by Shell following the Pollathomais Pier incident recorded on U Tube, the demand was delivered personally by a Shell CEO claiming to be acting on Gannons behalf ...... the plot thickens .....OSSL
Relieved: Obama is a boob. He wouldn't know a good 'standard' if it bit him in the backside. And neither would DoI. The USG is managed by fools and charlatans.
Outsider: Relieved: Unfortunately the rigs now in use are OLDER than the rigs that were previously deployed. The Polar Pioneer is from 1985 while the Noble Discoverer is the same vessel, built in the early 1960's as a log carrier, that was used previously.
Relieved: I find RDS's 'new' drilling rig for the Alaskan Arctic to be a considerable improvement over their past choices. It is also probably a far more expensive rig to lease. However, if RDS had made this choice years ago, instead of running with its fleet of aging rust buckets they might have completed a well or two and probably would not be facing the opposition they have today. Shell has shown that its management is notorious for making bad decisions that in turn produce serious liabilities. Maybe they have gained a little wisdom, but don't count on it. Odum is still running the show.
INSIGHT: Some of the other stuff in the FT article about Shell BG is really interesting. Such as who will bear the brunt of job cuts. QUOTE And Chris Wheaton, fund manager at Allianz Global Investors, plays down the idea that it will be BG staff who will bear the brunt of the cuts. He argues Mr van Beurden "has identified the Shell culture needs changing, that you can't just have a bunch of really clever people sitting round a table in a room talking about stuff". "Sometimes you've got to be nimbler, act like you're smaller. This will inject a whole new set of DNA into Shell," he says. UNQUOTE

Jeb Bush more open to a future White House bid
Thursday - 3/7/2013, 11:34am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jeb Bush has long resisted pressure from supporters to run for president. Now the former Florida governor is signaling that he's at least open to the idea, a shift that comes as he promotes a new book and Republicans struggle to rebound after President Barack Obama's re-election.
"I'm not saying yes. I'm just not saying no," Bush told NBC News earlier this week, one of a series of such comments he's made as he talks about the book "Immigration Wars" in television interviews and forums.
Comments like those from Bush, 60, are in sharp contrast to past refusals to even entertain the idea of following in the footsteps of his older brother, former President George W. Bush, and their father, former President George H.W. Bush.
Less than three years before the first Republican presidential primaries, Bush's words offer a window into his evolving thinking on a future run. Republicans and former advisers said that, if nothing else, he's made clear to political operatives and donors that they shouldn't count him out for 2016.
"He's sent a very strong signal this week that he, for the first time, is going to seriously, seriously consider running," said Cory Tilley, a former Bush aide in Florida. "It's the signal that a lot of people have been waiting to hear."
The scion to the Bush political dynasty left the Florida governor's office in 2007 but since then has remained a major figure in the GOP, mainly through his efforts to influence education and immigration policy. His book is his latest step on that front; in it, he urges Congress to revamp a broken immigration system that he says is holding back the nation's future and economic growth.
He caused a stir and irked some Republicans by writing that he did not support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Bush had expressed support for a pathway in the past, and later said he was open to a pathway to citizenship as long as it did not encourage illegal immigration.
That shift aside and even without the famous last name, Bush would have strong presidential candidate credentials. In the important swing-voting state of Florida, Bush racked up strong job performance ratings while revamping the state's educational system, reorganizing government, cutting taxes and managing the state through several hurricanes.
His wife, Columba, is Mexican-American and Bush is fluent in Spanish. He won over a diverse electorate of Hispanics in Florida. That personal and political history could help him to connect with Latinos, significantly more of whom voted for Obama than Republican Mitt Romney last fall.
Even so, Bush would have vulnerabilities as a candidate -- perhaps the biggest being his last name.
George W. Bush was unpopular when he left office in 2009. He continues to have approval ratings below 50 percent, and exit polls conducted last November found more voters blamed the former president for the nation's economic woes than Obama.
Jeb Bush has expressed pride for his brother's time in the White House and said perceptions of his brother would not factor into his own future.
Until recently, he has consistently said he wasn't interested in pursuing national office. In a CBS News interview last year, he speculated that 2012 "was probably my time" to run for president, all but ruling out a future bid.
He's now consistently saying a version of what he told NBC: "Every election is a little different. And so I don't know. I don't know what the rhythm and pace of 2014 looks like, much less 2016. But I think you have to understand, though, that we need to be the governing party."
"For him not to rule this out immediately shows that there's more going on," said Slater Bayliss, a lobbyist and former Bush aide based in Tallahassee, Fla.
Much has happened since Bush departed the governor's office in Tallahassee in 2007. From the sidelines, he watched the Great Recession, the rise of both Obama and the tea party, and ongoing budget battles.
Despite his TV appearances, Bush's book tour does not exactly resemble the itinerary of a future presidential candidate -- he has no immediate plans to go to Iowa and New Hampshire, the first states to hold nominating elections. He started the week in New York and planned to travel to Washington before weather forced event cancellations. Bush was scheduled to appear at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., on Friday, in the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati on March 14 and at a private event in Phoenix on March 18.

Reacting sharply to the fuel price hike announced on Saturday, Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said : "UPA is dead, economy is on red alert."
In a post on a social networking site, she said : "Yet again hike in petrol and diesel prices have been hiked. Economy on Red (Alert), people are unfed, UPA is dead".
Ms.Banerjee, whose party came out of the United Progressive Alliance - II last year, protesting the Centre's economic policies said this week that it now seems fortunate that TMC had left the alliance. " They are selling off the country" she had said at a press meet.

I have been blessed with an opportunity to go on two short term missions projects with Servants4Him and both have been a great experience. The organization and people take their ministry seriously and are devoted to developing long-term, sustainable outreach and assistance to the people of Guatemala. I have seen first hand, their effects on the lives of both "ordinary" Guatemalans as well as their impact on the lives and ministry of the Guatemalan leaders as they mentor and develop them to be more effective in the ministry. The organization is diligent in efficiently using the resources they have - both in personnel and in financial resources and they take stewardship very seriously. Their love of God and the people of Guatemala is core to their ministry. Keep up the great work and I look forward to future opportunities.

I've been supporting S4H financially for over 4 years and was able to join them for a 10 day mission trip to Guatemala in 2011 as volunteers. We have know the leadership personally and several on the team for this time. Our trip to Guatemala solidified our trust in this ministry's stewardship and dedication to the people in poor areas of that country. Their passion and proven methods make a substantial impact on many lives in ways that can make long term improvements to their lives and eternal rewards.

I'm making my fourth trip down to teach next summer. I look forward to it every year. All in the Servants4Him team have a deep love for Christ and a deep compassion for the people of Guatemala, They are hard working and disciplined and their ministry is grounded in loving relationships. Servants4Him has persevered in ministering to the Guatemalan people for many years and they have kept in close personal contact with their supporters and volunteers.

I've served on short term missions trips with Servants4Him twice, the first time as a member of a church team supporting their mercy ministry projects and the second time on a visit to disciple church and mission leaders. I have been privileged to become acquainted with all the Servants4Him mission members. They are a gifted and grace filled team. What a blessing to serve with them!
Servants4Him is a hands-on, no frills ministry deeply committed to personal relationships and sharing Christ's love in very practical ways. Their ultimate goal is to train church leaders to make disciples for Christ to expand and deepen God's kingdom in Guatemala. Their vision is clear and they are fully committed to His work in Guatemala.

S4H works in Guatemala and other Central American countries.
They help women get started in business by showing them useful skills like sewing so they can help provide for their families.
They teach hygiene classes and install water filters to provide clean drinking water to Mayan villagers.
They install stoves to prevent respiratory illness and burns caused by cooking indoors over open, non-vented fires.
They help support orphanages in their area.
They provide scholarships to children who cannot afford to attend school.
They mentor pastors in the Mayan villages and train them as Bible teachers.
S4H is dedicated to spreading the Word of God.

We have been involed with Servants 4 Him for several years thru prayer and financial support. Forrest is my twin brother. He and his wife Carol work tirelessly to share the good news of the gospel with the villagers in Guatemala. They love the Guatemalan people and they share the love of God with everyone they come in contact with.
A few of the main focuses of their ministry is to bring clean drinking water to households, install vented stoves for cooking (replacing open indoor fires in homes), and assist with dental and personal hygiene clinics.
We are grateful and blessed to be able to call the Kendalls "family" understanding that all of God's children are in His family and that we are all part of the family of God.

Praying the Lord will allow me to visit with them personally this Fall. And, be blessed to see them as they work in their ministry.

None - They are wonderful, God-loving people.
This ministry is a great combination of good management, compassion, hard work, creativity and a willingness to go where they are needed. It is impressive that when they see a new area for ministry they carefully evaluate whether or not the Lord is calling them to meet this need, go to this new place and and "do a new thing." They are definitely worthy of support and will keep you well updated on all that is going on.

Servants4Him is a very hard working team of folks who have a big heart for the Guatemalan people. They started small and have grown as God has called them to do more and as they have seen more and more need and opportunity. I have had the privilege to work with them on more than one occassion and it is inspiring to see how they relate so lovingly to the village people who need help in both practical and spiritual ways. It is wonderful the way they weave the Gospel message into the day to day health related needs of these wonderful people. A typical village woman does not know that her lungs are becoming blackened from the daily smoke her fire makes when she cooks her tortillas. Neither does she know that her heart can be black with sin without a Savior. What a blessing for her to be visited and loved by servants who help her to understand how to correct both of these issues. It is especially impressive that this is not a "hit and run" type of evangelism. The Servants4Him team sticks around and forms lasting and meaningful friendships with the people they are ministering to. They literally become a part of the village and the fabric of the people's daily lives. I have seen all of this first hand as I have helped to prepare materials for water filters, install the filters, work with children at Bible School type events and help to sort and distribute clothing and shoes to village families. It is always a blessing to be a part of this team, even if for only a week.

getting to know and talk with some of the village people who have been recipients of this ministry's help and seeing how they have now come alongside and are bringing others into Kingdom living as well.

Help them to centralize their operation so that the team members were not living in such a spread out fashion. A lot of time and resource is spent in driving in lots of traffic using expensive gas. It would be helpful if they had a location that could serve as their living space, offices, storage, housing for visiting teams, etc.
Missionaries in a distant field, sowing and feeding the flock. Dedicated servants sharing news and updates on the growth of the church...sharing real needs and progress. A wonderful reflection of Christ's manifested love for the lost sheep. Keep the faith!

Servants 4 Him has been expanding their work for God, by planting churches, providing Bible training, providing employment to unemployed and expanding as God leads them. They are very discerning in the use of God's resources.
