We've spent our summers here every year since we bought it. My three boys have spent countless hours on the lake and enjoying some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We've rented the place occasionally through the years to several returning visitors. With the kids grown and busy with life we've decided to rent more and expand our guest list. We love the place and have made steady improvements over the years to make it a warm and inviting home for our friends, family, and visitors. We hope you take the opportunity to enjoy our home as we have for many years.
Judy purchased this house in 1994
The lake offers great water sports and swimming. With many large windows the house feels connected to the lake and you're never far from a beautiful view. The area was voted by Good Morning America as the most beautiful place in the country and with the many secret beaches and hikes you can access all the areas beauty.
The house and property are organized for maximizing exposure to the lake. The house sits on a hill that slopes down to the water. With this placement you get fantastic views. There is a beautiful staircase with fieldstone borders running down to the lake. Solar lights straddle the staircase and provide light for night time commuting between the house and lake.
The property is spotted with different seating areas that offer unique vantages of the lake. The dining room provides great views while family and friends enjoy time together eating and talking. The patio off of the lakeside of the house offers adirondack chairs for enjoying morning coffee or a relaxing break from the day. The boathouse has chairs, a table, and a fire pit while offering great views of the water and sunsets. The dock has a platform on the water with 4 dock pieces placed sideways to offer a large area for sunbathing and sitting.
Breezes from the lake and great tree coverage keep the house cool and fresh smelling. Take advantage of the large windows.
We stayed here recently and enjoyed our lake home immensely. It was everything that was advertised and more. How do you aptly describe opening the front door and seeing nothing but beautiful rooms looking out at the glistening water of Platte Lake? We enjoyed evening campfires on top of the boat house, the spacious bedrooms, the well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds and linens, and large living room. The laundry chute was also nice; too bad more homes don't have one. We enjoyed the use of the kyaks, canoe and row boat. Sleeping Bear Dunes is very close. You will love the little town of Empire and the public beach right on Lake Michigan (a short 15 minute drive). The owner was very helpful in accommodating our group and with information about the area. This was a great vacation and a wonderful home ! Well worth the money.

Partnerships help create affordable housing
We also partnered with St. Vincent de Paul Village and the United Way Project 25 campaign to house chronic homeless individuals. Project 25 had a powerful impact, reducing the costs of public resources such as emergency-room visits and jail time to an estimated $3.4 million in 2011 from more than $11 million in 2010 for the 25 program participants.
Our efforts were assisted by a $250,000 donation from United Healthcare to support the city's Emergency Winter Shelter for homeless adults, which SDHC has managed for the third straight year. This valued donation is helping with the transition to the city's sponsored year-round facility, Connections Housing Downtown, scheduled to open in January.
As you can see, finding solutions to homelessness requires compassion and commitment from many people and organizations.
This past summer, SDHC formed an advisory committee comprised of local nonprofit and business leaders as a way to strengthen this collaboration.
On Jan. 30, several hundred citizen volunteers – along with service providers and donations – are needed for Project Homeless Connect, the annual one-day resource fair for homeless San Diegans, which is being held at Golden Hall.
As we begin the New Year, we are grateful to all those who support our mission of providing affordable housing to low-income families and seniors and addressing homelessness in the City of San Diego.
We indeed have shown that effective solutions can be produced right here at home.
Gentry is president and CEO San Diego Housing Commission, sdhc.org

Mommy Makeovers Procedures Become More Popular in Ohio
As more celebrity moms quickly return to their pre-baby bodies with the help of Mommy Makeovers, procedures such as breast augmentation and tummy tuck in the Columbus, Ohio area are increasing, according to Jason B. Lichten, M.D.
Lancaster, OH (PRWEB) July 23, 2011
Dr. Jason B. Lichten (http://www.centralohioplasticsurgery.com/) says that the trend in celebrity moms opting for Mommy Makeovers has motivated more local women to request a tummy tuck or liposuction and breast augmentation in the Columbus area. Combining these procedures in a single surgery to restore a mom's pre-baby body is often referred to as a "Mommy Makeover."
"A Mommy Makeover usually combines a body-contouring procedure with a breast enhancement. Because I can perform these two procedures in a single surgery, it is ideal for busy moms who want to avoid multiple recovery periods. I am delighted to see that this celebrity trend has helped more women to become aware of this option," says Dr. Lichten.
Women often consider breast implants in the Columbus area to restore breast volume lost after pregnancy and nursing. They sometimes assume that this procedure will also elevate sagging breasts. Although breast augmentation does not alter the position of the breasts, Dr. Lichten says that a breast lift can be combined with augmentation to achieve both goals in a single surgery.
"By combining breast augmentation with a lift, I can restore volume, shape and position," explains Dr. Lichten. "If women want a complete Mommy Makeover with liposuction or tummy tuck in the Columbus, Ohio area, I can perform all three procedures "" augmentation, lift, and body contouring "" in a single surgery."
The advantages of a combined procedure for busy mothers include:
- Only one recovery period is needed, allowing you to return to your regular routine without worrying about repeated periods of downtime. For moms, this may eliminate the need to plan for recurring periods of childcare and household help, as well as missed time from work for those who work outside the home.
- A single surgery rather than multiple procedures can save money as well as time. Surgical fees as well as facility fees and anesthesia costs are typically reduced with combined procedures.
- You experience the delight of achieving all your goals at the same time, enhancing your appearance and self-confidence.
Dr. Jason Lichten (http://www.centralohioplasticsurgery.com) is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation and tummy tuck in the Columbus, Ohio area. In addition to other breast enhancement and body-contouring procedures, Dr. Lichten offers facial sculpting, reconstructive surgery, and medical spa treatments. His office is located in Lancaster and serves patients from all over Ohio, including Columbus, Fairfield County, and Franklin County, in addition to West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.

Fox, Bush making our population problems worse
Americans cheered when Mexico elected Vicente Fox a year ago.
How could we not cheer? Mexico's PRI had ruled for 71 years, most of that time marked by anti-democratic, anti-free-market, anti-American governments long on corruption. The PRI's penultimate president wrecked the economy and went into exile, his brother into jail. Fox was a new start.
Fox wants to govern in the interests of all Mexicans, not just an elite clique. His policies take aim at Mexico's most serious problem, the rich-poor gap. Mexico's richest 10 percent take home 42.8 percent of national income, its poorest 10 percent earn 1.4 percent. That ratio is bad, politically, sociologically, economically.
Fox's controversial immigration proposals, his desire to legalize the millions of Mexicans residing illegally in America, grows from his desire to help the poor. Mexicans sent $7 billion home from America last year, mostly to poor families. Fox knows that the more Mexicans in America, the better it is for Mexico.
Fox is working on George W. Bush. Bush lost the popular vote last year because he lost the minority vote. He won 9 percent of the black vote, 35 percent of the Hispanic vote and 41 percent of the Asian vote. Bush knows the chances of winning again in 2004 without the popular vote are low. If Fox needs Bush, Bush needs Fox.
Bush would like to make a deal for Fox's official visit here in September, but there's a problem: U.S. and Mexican interests on immigration are not the same. Fox touts open borders. Few Americans support open borders. Bush has to find a way to satisfy Fox and Hispanics without losing the Midwestern and Southern Anglos who voted for him.
Bush is floating two ideas, amnesty (regularization in White House lingo) and guest workers. Fox says no guest workers without amnesty; Bush says no amnesty without guest workers. A deal is in the works. Congress would have to ratify the deal, but Bush thinks he can put together a left-right coalition to approve it.
The trouble with this deal is simple: Both parts of it are bad, especially for California, where 40 percent of illegal Mexican immigrants (INS figures) reside. There are some 9 million illegal immigrants in America, 3.6 million of them in California. If we amnesty (regularize) them, still more will come, waiting to be regularized, adding to the population pressures already straining our state's resources.
The nation has been down this road before. A 1986 law offered a similar deal: amnesty and an end to illegal immigration. Three million illegals were amnestied, but illegal immigration didn't even slow down. We have 9 million illegals today. Bush's deal is amnesty and guest workers.
It's a bad deal for two reasons.
Amnesty rewards those who come illegally and punishes those who would come legally. Amnesty encourages more illegal immigrants, people who come knowing that when the system is overwhelmed again, a new amnesty will be granted. Morally, amnesty is wrong.
Guest-worker programs have terrible records. Commenting on Germany's problem of assimilating guest workers, the writer Max Frisch said, "we wanted workers and they sent us people." Doris Meissner, former INS director, put it this way: "Contract (guest) workers are defenseless, falling prey to employers willing to pay less than market wages and to use contracts over workers to maintain silence about substandard conditions."

Issue With World Philosophy Day having just gone by, how relevant is philosophy in this day and age when life is fast and there is little time to stop and ponder?
What is your philosophy in life? Answers abound. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "Eat drink and be merry." "Do things in moderation." "Enjoy life to the maximum, for you live only once." Once a highly venerated subject, philosophy today has undergone changes to acquire an earthly, mundane tone. Its meaning has been diluted to imply just a belief or a way of life. Philosophising, like the word moralising, has even stooped to acquire sardonic connotations.
The word philosophy originated from the Greek 'philosophia' which means love of wisdom. Philosophy is too deep, reflective and intense a topic to put in a nutshell. However, it's an overwhelming and intriguing subject that explores not just the external world but even the inner recesses of your heart. Philosophical discussions are thus wide and unlimited. They range from general public debates to intimate heart-to-heart dialogues between friends, lovers and soul mates. World Philosophy Day is observed on the third Thursday of every November. It is a day to honour the great philosophical revelations and ideas that made the world a better place. It is also the day to freely and frankly share, discuss and exchange beliefs, ideas and values.
However, does philosophy have any relevance in modern times? Does its principles and values hold good in this fast-paced techie age?
"Sure, it does", affirms Dr. Hemjith Balakrishnan, a post-graduate rank holder with a doctorate in philosophy who is a corporate head of a pharmaceutical company, "Applying the laws of philosophy in today's corporate world is the key to a successful organisation. The modern world seems complex, but everything we practise and follow today including corporate ethics has its roots in ancient philosophy. Spirituality is a major factor in philosophy. Philosophy is only a search for knowledgeto lead a better life.
"The aim of philosophy is to lead a better and fulfilled life through methods and practices ideal for the individual. It gives fulfilment as one has the freedom to choose one's own philosophical path, for it invites you to different schools of thought."
Philosophy is not mere abstractions, daydreaming and hollow ideas full of sound and fury signifying nothing. On the contrary, it is an academic discipline that blends judgement, logic and reason along with mysticism and intuition. Its focus on analytical thinkingand rationalising is as important in today's world than ever.
Philosophy and science
Philosophical and scientific methods thus go hand in hand arriving at a common truth. And if we comprehend the teachings of the ancient philosophers, it is said everything from the formation of governments, to the implementation of law, medical ethics, trade and commerce structure to computer software has its roots in philosophy.
How does philosophy work? Dr. Biju K.P, Asst.Professor of Philosophy at Kerala Varma College, Thrissur says, "Philosophy attempts to unravel the mystery of life. Everybody has his/her own unique and individual perspective on matters spiritual, political, social etc. Man is a rational being. He is always in a moral dilemma. Does God exist? What is the meaning of life?
"In their quest for answers to such issues philosophers examine, explore and question their own beliefs and attitudes. Philosophy is about challenging long held ideologies and facts. Constant and continuous seeking, doubting, clarifying and reasoning narrows the quest. Through this process of analysis and judgement, philosophers try to prove the veracity of their ideas and concepts and discover basic and fundamental truths."
Philosophy thus is aesthetically reasoning life where truth and scepticism form both sides of the coin. Social, art and cultural movements are the result of philosophical investigations. It transports one to an exalted, lofty state of mind. A subject both sublime and practical, philosophy helps cope with relationships, business enterprises, marriage, old-age, pain, suffering. So if you find yourselves trapped in your own beliefs or cannot explain basic facts of life, delve deep into the works of the great philosophers and find answers to life. Bring about a positive transformation in your lives.

The Ministry of Education has called for tenders to develop
the Otago Girls' High School music department to the tune of
nearly $2 million.
Principal Linda Miller said there were two components to the
The first involves the upgrading and extension of the
existing music suite and the second involves building a new
stair and lift access tower that would provide entry from the
Visual and Performing Arts Centre on the ground floor, to the
three levels of the school's Siedeberg Block.
''The aim is to provide a state-of-the-art music suite which
will have provision for sound recording, practice spaces and
a whole range of different configurations of rooming to allow
usage from solo performing to large ensemble groups, to
perform and record.
''It will be a modern learning environment.''

However, she was confident the school could work around the

Inspite of 40 years of nationalisation of banks, over 50% of the country's population is without a bank account, deputy governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Shyamala Gopinath said today.
"We have started an innovative programme to educate such people. A 'financial literacy mission' has been launched to make people aware of the schemes they can avail," said Gopinath while addressing a function in Varanasi.
"There is a need to get villagers out of clutches of local money lenders who are exploiting them and charging humongous interest rates," Gopinath said.
After this programme common man would become aware and benefit from government loans, mutual funds and banking services, she said.
To lessen the pressure on banks and facilitate an easy transaction of money for those working under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA a plan of payment through their biometric cards is also on anvil, Gopinath added.

Sylvan Lake Things to Do
Markerville is a quaint little village
If you blink when you pass the Markerville Creamery, the entire hamlet is so small that you just might miss it! However, Markerville is very quaint and an interesting spot to observe. This old Blacksmith shop looks like something right out of a John Wayne western movie and is only a few hundred feet down the road from the wooden-truss bridge (2nd...more
Keep your eyes open for wildlife
This particular view of a Coyote beating a retreat in tall grass was taken not too far from the small community of Spruce View, as Ryan and I drove back to the house after picking up some construction supplies from the local hardware store. In this case, we had the two dogs with us and, before I could get properly set up for a shot, they...more
Historic homestead
On the short drive from Chantel's cottage (Accoms tips) to the new house I saw an Alberta tourism sign pointing down a road to the 'Historic Stephansson House'. Finally, one day I took a few minutes off to make the detour to see what this was all about.It turns out that Stephan G. Stephansson (1853-1927), was an Icelandic immigrant who settled here...more
Frozen lakes come in handy!
We did make a few trips into Sylvan Lake to pick up supplies from their supermarket, hardware stores, liquor store, gasoline stations and even a car wash on one occasion. On one of those trips Ryan and I happened to be in the centre of town beside the lake itself when I noticed all the activity that was taking place out on its frozen surface!In...more
Cross-country by Snowmobile or ATV
It was the afternoon of Christmas Day, 2007 when Ryan and I decided we needed to take a short break from our house construction duties! Fortunately, with their house being located in the wilds of Alberta, all we had to do was step outside and we were already there.Our plan was to take a spin along the frozen Medicine River, which happens to flow...more
Markerville Creamery tours
Although originally opened in 1899 by the Icelandic immigrants who settled here, the creamery you see today is a restored version showing what it would have looked like in 1932. From its inception until its closure about 70 years later, the Markerville Creamery was the main source of income for this small hamlet. These Icelanders were obviously...more
Sylvan Lake Restaurants
We were there to help finish with the house construction chores, so there was not a lot of time in the evenings to drive the half-hour or so required for restaurant meals in the nearby communities. As a result, we limited ourselves to cooking meals at home from whatever we happened to have on hand when we finished work in the evenings.
Favorite Dish: As habitation of the house was nearing, we had our first inside meal in the new dining room on Dec. 23rd when I prepared BBQ cheeseburgers outside the house. By the next day, Christmas Eve, we had the kitchen appliances working so I prepared my rice with meatballs 'special', cooked in a mixture of chopped onions, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice and soya sauce. Sue had scratched together a Caesar Salad to accompany the meal. Ryan, Carolyn and Sue are ready to dig into the feast as seen here!
On Christmas Day, Sue and Carolyn slaved away in the kitchen preparing our turkey & stuffing dinner, including the side dishes of roasted potatoes, carrots, broccoli, squash and gravey while Ryan and I continued to work away on the downstairs interior walls. It was really special to have these first meals in the new house coincide with Christmas celebrations!Related to:

Sylvan Lake Warnings and Dangers
Alberta seems to be swarming with wildlife, and the Markerville area was no exception! This presents a problem when night driving is required - these wild animals are totally unpredictable as to what they will do next or which way they will bolt if they decide to run.
One evening after we had finished work well past dusk, we headed off in our vehicles into the dark of night (Sue and I in my old car and Carolyn and Ryan in their big 4WD Ford F-350 pickup truck). The stretch of road near their house is unpaved, so we were only travelling at about 70-80 kph as we approached a small bridge over the Medicine River, with its steel guardrails visible in the photo. Sue and I made it safely across but, only a few seconds later, a deer that had been browsing in the tall grass beside the bridge suddenly bounded over the guardrail directly into the path of the truck. Death was instantaneous - Ryan stopped to pull the animal off the road and back into the grassy area. It was still there several days later, maybe too well hidden and frozen to be detected by scavengers. The second photo shows Ryan's truck with a small ding at the left corner of the bumper. If it had been our much lower to the ground car involved in the collision, the deer likely would have struck the windshield.
On my later drive home, between Cold Lake, Alberta and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan I saw 7 deer and 1 coyote road-kill beside the highway, with most of the carcasses in the process of being partially or mostly eaten by small groups of large Ravens.Related to:

Sylvan Lake Off The Beaten Path
I am no home handyman, but Ryan certainly is! Since September, he and Carolyn have been building the house themselves with just whatever help they can get from available friends. By the time I arrived in Regina, most of the heavy duty stuff was completed but there was still plenty of work to do both inside and out.
These photos show what the house looked like one month before the Christmas visit - taken in mid-November when I took advantage of a 3-day weekend to make the 8-hour one-way drive from Regina to lend a hand. Most of the interior work at that time involved getting the itchy fibreglass insulation batts installed in the walls and ceilings between the wooden joists. In order to reach some of the high spots above the stairwell, we nailed a couple of planks above it to provide a scaffold of sorts. The first three photos show Carolyn, her Collie Kira and I hard at work!
I had more fun outside running their miniature 4WD 'front-end loader' (4th photo). This thing was really nimble and could spin around on a dime! Left hand controlled both left wheels, Right hand controlled both right wheels, left foot controlled the up/down motion of the bucket supports and the right foot controlled the tilt of the bucket to dump or pickup material. In the photo, I am pushing piles of dirt to re-cover the sewage septic system pipes after the material had been dug up by a backhoe to fix a problem.
Christmas chores included laying the floors, installing trim around doors, windows and cabinets as well as the heavy two-man job of cutting and installing interior drywall sheets on the ceilings and walls of the lower level rooms.Related to:

PORTLAND -- City agencies and homeless outreach groups were out in the cold and snow Friday night with an urgent mission to get as many people as they could into shelters.
Shelters were at or nearing capacity, which is actually a good thing. It means firefighters and others who are roaming the streets looking for people to take inside are doing an effective job.
Crews from Portland Fire & Rescue were headed out Saturday from 4 p.m. until 11 p.m. with two vans to transport endangered people to local warming shelters. On Friday, firefighters transported 53 people to safety.
The goal for the weekend is to not deny anyone a warm place to sleep. Non-profit Join has added more street teams to canvass Portland, looking for people who need supplies.
Sleeping bags are always in great demand.
On any given night, more than 1,800 people live on the streets of Portland and Multnomah County. These are people who are used to wet winters, but many of them are not equipped to handle back-to-back-to-back snow events.
If we don t get it donated, we can t buy it. We don t have a lot of money to do that. We have army surplus blankets and those are great for what they do but we can always use more. It s very cold, said Ledena Mattox with Join.
Late Friday on the Burnside Bridge there was a group of people who are friends on Facebook and heard there was a real need this weekend. They decided to use their own money to provide warm drinks and food to the homeless.
If you or anyone you know needs assistance seeking shelter from the cold just call 211.

Clinical engineers in the medical device industry must have a four-year college degree in a field relating to electrical, clinical, or biomedical studies, and applicants should have at least a few years of working experience, as well. Master's degrees are generally preferred by employers.Read More...
Clinical engineers are responsible for ensuring that all medical devices are in good working order; these devices must be maintained regularly and comply with the organization's procedures and the government regulations. They usually work with other technicians who may either report to them, require their assistance, or both. Those in this position are also responsible for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, maintaining parts inventories, and providing technical support to staff who use the medical devices within the health care system.
Clinical engineers must be able to operate database software to keep track of maintenance schedules and machinery parts [pertaining to medical devices] within the organization. They are generally responsible for keeping track of recalls, so they must make sure that recalled devices are no longer used until they are tested and repaired. They must also research new technology related to medical devices on a consistent and ongoing basis.
Clinical engineers of medical devices must have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. They must be familiar with Microsoft Office, as well. Once hired, they are required to take in-house training related to their job, and perhaps classes in diversity or work ethic. Clinical engineers will communicate daily with their internal clients who use the medical devices, so some level of time-flexibility is required. Overtime may occasionally be required, and reasonable accommodation may be provided for employees with a disability to perform their jobs.
Medical Devices Clinical Engineers usually report a few specific skills. Electronic Troubleshooting and Project Management are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Salaries for inexperienced workers average out to $63K, and those with five to 10 years' experience report a lower median of $62K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $66K in this role. More than 20 years of experience seem related to solid financial gains; veterans in this group report earning a median of $74K.

Getting down to business, on all 4s
FFA students develop responsibility, have fun raising animals for show
Behind Calallen High School, the grounds buzz with activity as dusk falls: The football stadium lights are on and the team continues drill after drill. From a nearby practice field, the marching band rehearses Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
But at the edge of campus, corralled by a chest-high ranch fence, some students continue working on an extracurricular activity that began months before the other groups dusted off their shoes or helmets.
The Calallen FFA agricultural barns, home to turkeys, goats, chickens, hogs and heifers, could be the busiest of all. About one month until the Nueces County Junior Livestock Show, the students are caring for and training their animals in a challenge that is much more marathon than sprint.
Freshman Kallie Womack, a seven-year veteran of junior livestock shows, said she puts in about two hours of work per day caring for her Boer cross goat, a special breed commonly entered in the show. Work usually starts before 7 a.m. for feeding, continues during classes and ends back at the barn after school, she said.
"My favorite part is putting in lots of hard work but getting a lot back," Kallie said. "When you get a good placing, it makes it all the months of work worthwhile."
The show kicks off with a parade Jan. 13 and ends a week later with the livestock auction, Nueces County Junior Livestock Show Association spokeswoman Flo East said. This year's show will be the first at Robstown's new Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds.
More than 1,000 students are expected to compete, she said.
Students compete to place, but the benefit of FFA, or 4-H organizations and raising an animal, extends far beyond the livestock show, Calallen agricultural science show organizers said.
"Their animal becomes like a child," said Frances Nelson, one of three Calallen agricultural science teachers. "This is one of the best hands-on lessons for responsibility and time management. These kids are pulled in 10 different directions with everything they're involved with."
Calallen senior Courtney Morris is in her ninth year raising pigs for the show. While the money students earn from the show's auction is a bonus, lessons learned from raising an animal and making friends working with others for months at a time are what make the project worthwhile, Courtney said. It's easy to get attached to some of the animals, but after a few years, they become less like pets and more like a business, she said.
"You learn not to get attached to the pigs," she said. "My pig now, Bella, is driving me crazy. I can't wait to get rid of her."
The livestock show and auction are the most visible FFA and 4-H activities, but the groups are more than just farming and cows, Nelson said. In the middle of preparations for livestock shows, students can compete in an array of FFA leadership and career development events, she said. Other events include parliamentary, farm skills, public relations and an FFA quiz.
"It's a good avenue for young people to earn money for college or extra income, but it's also a chance to learn about character, responsibility, respect and fair play," said Nathan Carr, a county extension agent specializing in 4-H and youth development.
The auction is typically where the students make most of the money on their projects, Carr said. In recent years, some of the grand and reserve champion animals have sold for as much as $20,000, he said.
Most students make a modest profit once costs for care and feed are factored, he said. However the venture is a lesson in business because of the potential to lose money on the animal, Carr said.
"There's a lot of variance," he said. "If you're not careful, it's not hard to break even or lose money. Costs can be high in purchasing a good, competitive project."
Presentation at the show can make the difference between a solid project and the middle of the pack, and the extra money that usually comes with a higher placing, Nelson said.
About 99 percent of the work is done before a student takes his or her animal to the stock show, said Roger Strickland, a livestock show veteran, who lectured the students. Constant work with an animal before the show is what makes a grand champion, he said.
"Most people think it's easy because showing animals looks so easy they could just go out there themselves," said Amy Morais, a Calallen freshmen who is in her fifth year showing goats. "When you do it right, it's so worth it - it's an instant rush."

Do citations and impact factors relate to the real numbers in publications? A case study of citation rates, impact, and effect sizes in ecology and evolutionary biology
- Christopher J. Lortie,

- Roosa Leimu
- … show all 4 hide
Metrics of success or impact in academia may do more harm than good. To explore the value of citations, the reported efficacy of treatments in ecology and evolution from close to 1,500 publications was examined. If citation behavior is rationale, i.e. studies that successfully applied a treatment and detected greater biological effects are cited more frequently, then we predict that larger effect sizes increases study relative citation rates. This prediction was not supported. Citations are likely thus a poor proxy for the quantitative merit of a given treatment in ecology and evolutionary biology—unlike evidence-based medicine wherein the success of a drug or treatment on human health is one of the critical attributes. Impact factor of the journal is a broader metric, as one would expect, but it also unrelated to the mean effect sizes for the respective populations of publications. The interpretation by the authors of the treatment effects within each study differed depending on whether the hypothesis was supported or rejected. Significantly larger effect sizes were associated with rejection of a hypothesis. This suggests that only the most rigorous studies reporting negative results are published or that authors set a higher burden of proof in rejecting a hypothesis. The former is likely true to a major extent since only 29 % of the studies rejected the hypotheses tested. These findings indicate that the use of citations to identify important papers in this specific discipline—at least in terms of designing a new experiment or contrasting treatments—is of limited value.

Sooo... it's been a while, hasn't it?
Week 16:
The nausea was gone, but somehow not completely. Truth to be told everyone said that after the first trimester you have plenty of energy left. Practically, that you have an energy boost. LOL, my ass!
At this point started the period when I felt carefree (well not exactly since I then quit my job), because I didn't feel pregnant. So I was feeling OK. I think :P. I also got my doctor appointment and she checked the beat of the heart of my baby. So far it was fine. She also said that if the baby will still be so small, that we'll move labour day.
Week 17:
This is when the exhaustion kicked in. I woke up and after 3 hours I was already dead tired. Really??
I couldn't do a sh**, I lost my appetite (not 100% but enough) and I disliked this stake with my whole heart. Doctor told me that if the exhaustion will continue, she'll send me to a test.. :o
Week 18:
My tummy started growing. No really, it grew almost overnight. I was shocked! I didn't expect a big tummy until I was like 6 months pregnant. But with clothes I could still cover it (not that I want to).
So far nothing special, the exhaustion is slowly going away.
Week 19:
I started panicking. I still didn't feel the kicking of my baby and it drove me nuts. I got all depressed at the thought that he may not be alive anymore. I also got some severe abdominal cramps. And in the lower areas too. Really unpleasant.
Week 20:
I saw my baby! My dear was with me and we learned that it's a HE. Well it's not 100%, but I feel like it's a he from the beginning so I do think he is a he :P. Not that it matters, since we have names for both genders.
My belly is growing like mad, I can hardly get off the bed alone (well alright it's not THAT terrible), my back hurts if I sit/stand too much. I started sweating like a pig, and it's winter outside. Also one day I got terrible food cravings. The kitchen was almost with no food (except pasta, which I hated the first trimester) and I wanted wanted wanted food (and I was quite broke, yes!). I got some pizza from my roommate and an apple helped a lot. I mean that food craving was insane. I ate like 10 times I eat normally!!
Oh the baby started kicking. It was in the end of week 19. It got me off guard and I was shocked. The feeling is.. well like your intestines are moving. Nothing too unpleasant (unless he kicks the bowel). Also the baby is turned with the head down, tho he still has lots of place to move. Plus the baby is growing nicely!
Week 21:
I cleaned my wardrobe, since I couldn't fit in 3/4 of my clothes. Yes, even my pretty clothes. This leaves me with a few pieces and I am wondering if I should get something new (I do still have quite a lot of clothes). Anyway, the baby is super alive and kicking, and even when I got sick (for the weekend from all the stress) he was acting nicely. :)
Now it's supposed to be the time when weight goes up rapidly (so far I've gained about 6kg, I am not really sure).
I don't understand why no one told me that being pregnant is no fun. Everyone (and everything I read until I actually got pregnant) told me that being pregnant is FUN. Well it's not. You have cramps, your back hurts, your legs hurt, sometimes you can't sleep just because you can't, other times you have weird food cravings, then there's the nausea and so on...
Oh yes, I am complaining. A lot. People say but you're pregnant, you can eat everything and as much as you want! Well WRONG. You should eat healthy and be careful about your weight. Junk food is a no no (even if I loved it the first three months). Hmm what else? The acne. Here nothing helps. And Oh the baby kicks. YES it is a bond with your baby, YES they are lovely. But NO, it's no fun when he kicks somewhere it hurts like a b... And later the rib cracking kicks, yay.. can't wait to get to those :P.
I do not believe the ladies who say they love being pregnant. Then it just means they didn't expect even 1/3 or the pregnancy problems or they forgot all of them.
So it's no fun, and even if I'm only at week 21, I can't wait to hold my baby in my arms and get over with this pregnancy.
And no, this doesn't mean I'm a bad person or that I will be a bad mother. Seriously who would like being sick for three months and exhausted the next one and so on?
Next time I will post some photos of my belly (since I didn't get any ultrasound pictures yet). And some pictures of me, if I can find any (from the start of my pregnancy till now).
So long for now <3.
All photos are found via Google.

Jooj čestitke!!ReplyDelete
ma ne boj se, sve će to proći i na kraju ćeš se sjećati samo ljepih stvari... a što trudnoća bude odmicala to ćeš se više htjeti rješiti stomaka... e onda tek slijedi prava zabava ;-DReplyDelete
With love, Ana: Hvala! :DReplyDelete
Nail Crazy: Haha that's probably true, and then I'll be the one telling 'my pregnancy was absolutely fantastic!' :D.

Ohio River
A river formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers in western Pennsylvania and flowing about 1,580 km (980 mi) to the Mississippi River at Cairo in southern Illinois.
