Headley, who turns 29 next month, is promising, for sure. He finally did last year what he'd shown flashes of for portions of four previous seasons. His was a big jump, not a leap from nowhere. There is a difference.
"You see what he's done and what he's capable of," Wright said. "I'm no scout, but he can play. He's just starting to scratch the surface of what he can do."
That said, Wright is just 17 months Headley's elder and is already the Mets' all-time leader in hits, runs, walks and RBIs, and a six-time All-Star.
"I don't think it's fair for me or anyone to put me in that category after just one year," Headley said.
But ridiculous is what ridiculous does. And baseball economics are ridiculous.
If Headley's 2013 approaches his 2012, he might as well have been to a half-dozen All-Star games as far as a new contract is concerned.
Headley's résumé is shorter than Wright's, but his skill set is comparable, and that will be exciting to plenty of suitors.
One of those markets looking to fill the hot corner is in Los Angeles. And the Dodgers have some coin.
Can you imagine?
Let's not.
Even if it is difficult to imagine how the Padres keep him.

Scientists Study Kimmeridge Clay Formation
The sediments of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation were deposited during the Late Jurassic between around 160 and 145 million years ago, the age of the reptiles. They are the main oil source rock in the North Sea. However, within this unit beds rich in organic matter are interspersed with organic-poor sediments. New evidence demonstrates that organic-poor sediments were probably caused by post-depositional loss of organic matter during so-called 'burn-down' events.
The Kimmeridge Clay Formation is named after the English village of Kimmeridge on Dorset's 'Jurassic Coast', a favorite haunt of fossil hunters. The sediments comprising the formation, which is particularly well exposed here, were probably deposited in shallow marine environment with an average water depth of 50-100 meters.
"We were particularly interested in the transition between organic-rich and organic-poor sediments," said Dr Ian Harding of the University of Southampton's School of Ocean and Earth Science at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), and a member of the team that investigated the underlying processes.
A long-held hypothesis is that the organic-rich beds were the result of elevated planktonic productivity in sunlit surface waters, possibly accentuated by enhanced preservation of the resulting organic matter by the oxygen-depleted bottom waters resulting from this excess productivity.
A second possibility was that a cyclic rise and fall of the interface between oxygenated and oxygen-depleted waters was responsible for the transition between organic-rich and organic poor sediments. According to this theory, when oxygenated waters reached the seabed, organic matter already deposited would have been oxidized and degraded. These post-depositional 'burn down' events could have alternated with periods during which the bottom waters had little oxygen, favoring preservation of organic matter.
"The first theory emphasizes changes in the amount of organic matter reaching the seabed, while the 'burn-down' theory puts more weight on the relative dominance of preservation or degradation after it has got there," said Dr Harding.
To distinguish between these two theories, he and colleagues from the University of Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, analyzed the chemical composition and organic content of a sediment core from a borehole in Swanworth Quarry in Dorset, originally drilled as part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Rapid Global Geological Events Project run by NOCS' Prof. John Marshall.
Monika Kodrans-Nsiah, a PhD student jointly supervised by Dr Harding and Dr Karin Zonneveld (Bremen) was responsible for analyzing the fossilized organic cysts of various species of dinoflagellate, a group of tiny aquatic organisms, found in the sediments. Different dinoflagellate species are known to be adapted to different environmental conditions, so studying the distribution of 'dinocyst' fossils helps reconstruct past environments.
The lower part of the core was rich in organic carbon, with abundant dinocysts, and its chemical composition was indicative of anoxic conditions, implying that sediments were deposited and preserved in an oxygen-deficient environment.
However, the chemical composition of the uppermost sediments indicated the presence of oxygenated water when they were deposited. This transition was sudden, occurring at a drilling depth of 122.37 meters, but changes in organic content and dinocyst distributions were more gradual.
"It looks likely that influxes of well-oxygenated bottom water caused the oxidation and degradation of organic matter and cysts after they were deposited," said Dr Harding: "This would explain the gradual reduction in the amount of organic matter above the transition, and provide support for the idea of 'burn-down' events during the Jurassic."
The study was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG grant EUROPROX). The investigated core was drilled as part of the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) Special Topic 'Rapid Global Geological Events (RGGE) Kimmeridge Drilling Project'.
The researchers are: Monika Kodrans-Nsiah, Christian März and Karin Zonneveld (University of Bremen). Ian Harding (SOES/NOCS), and Sabine Kasten (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven). MKN and CM are now at the University of Szczecin and the University of Oldenburg, respectively.

"I can make two drinks really well: a dirty martini and a Bloody Mary," she says. "People are like, 'You make the best Bloody Marys,' and my secret ingredient is basically Mr and Mrs T's Bloody Mary Mix. It's not some fancy mix that they do with the horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. It's the 7-Eleven of Bloody Marys. It's the trashiest."

(From left) Simon Helberg, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kunal Nayyar of 'The Big Bang Theory'.
The popular sitcom has the highest number of viewers in the United States.
The famous geeks of Pasadena have put an end to the four-year reign of Agent Gibbs and his investigation team (from NCIS, FYI). During the 2013-2014 season, for the first time in its history, The Big Bang Theory attracted more viewers than any other series in the US.
Between September 2013 and May 2014, no less than 19.96 million viewers followed the adventures of Sheldon, Leonard, Penny and their friends. Including catch-up TV services, the comedy's audience totaled 23.26 million fans. This means the show gained nearly two million additional fans in one year, a rare feat for a show that just wrapped up its seventh season.
While the popularity of The Big Bang Theory continues to rise, NCIS is showing the first signs of decline, although it is still in second place with an impressive 19.77 million viewers. Including catch-up, the crime drama attracted a total of 22.58 million individuals. But compared to the previous year, Agent Gibbs and his team lost 1.28 million fans.
The crime drama's California-based spin-off maintained its position in third place thanks to its 16.03 million fans. When including those who watched the show within the seven days after the first broadcast, NCIS: Los Angeles claimed a total of 17.82 million viewers, or half a million more than in the previous year.
With its 14.96 million fans, NBC's The Blacklist was the most watched new series last season. In fourth place overall, the crime drama proved to be more popular than Person Of Interest and Blue Bloods, two of CBS's other hit shows.
Another notable newcomer, ABC's Resurrection entered the ranking in seventh place with 12.96 million viewers, outperforming the long-running police series Criminal Minds and Castle.
With its 10th season, Grey's Anatomy returned to the top 10 thanks to 12.2 million viewers. On the other hand, Two And A Half Men, Elementary and Modern Family no longer have a spot amongst the 10 most watched shows in the US. — AFP Relaxnews

The tour was great our guide was very informative. We got to see only a few Orangutans on this trip as fruit was in season and most of the Orangutans were out and about. This is good to see that they do not rely on the Centre to feed them. All in all it was a good tour and seeing the Orangutans was magical.

Article Summary
Everyone knows geckos have extraordinary powers of adhesion, able to clamber up vertical windows with remarkable ease. With the "Geckskin", a team of scientists have replicated the effect to produce a flat, index-card sized piece of material capable of carrying a 700-pound (318-kg) load - easily enough for a flatscreen television. It can be removed with ease and leaves no unpleasant oomska. And interestingly, it doesn't work as you might think.

A spectacular play by third baseman Tyler Hall bailed Mohawk Valley out of a first-inning jam Thursday and the DiamondDawgs battled back to beat the Elmira Pioneers 8-6 at Veterans Memorial Park.
"This was a great comeback win for the team," manager Roberto Vaz said. "They were relentless in terms of desire and effort."
The Pioneers, winners of five straight games after an 0-8 start to the season, had the bases loaded with one out and two runs already home in the top of the first inning when designated hitter Dean Symancyk stepped to the plate. Symancyk lined Evan Davis' 2-2 pitch between Hall and the third base bag but the Herkimer County Community College infielder made a diving grab on a hop. Hall got to his feet in time to step on the bag and force Steven Patterson out then throw across the field and complete and inning-ending double play.
"That could have been disastrous," Vaz said of the play which saved at least two runs and probably a third. "Tyler made a great play."
Mohawk Valley also loaded the bases with one out in its half of the first inning but its rally-killing double play came before any runs had scored. The DiamondDawgs put a run on the board in the second inning — and stranded another runner at third base — and Elmira got the run back in the top of the third.
Davis shook off a first inning that included three hits and two walks and got through four with his team trailing 3-1. The Little Falls High School graduate and Marist College freshman threw 92 pitches in his first Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League start and finished with five walks, four hits and three strikeouts.
"He had a little trouble with his command early," Vaz said, "but he was able to pitch through the first inning when he didn't have his best stuff."
Davis turned the ball over to the Mohawk Valley bullpen after walking Patterson to start the fifth inning. Raymond Morton, Taylor Wright and Sal Lisanti held the Pioneers to two hits the rest of the way while the DiamondDawgs' offense scratched its way back into the game.
Chris Cruz drove in a run with a single in the fifth to make the score 4-2 but the Pioneers came back with two on wild pitches after loading the bases in the top of the sixth. Mohawk Valley got those two runs back in the bottom of the sixth — David Del Grande drove one home with a two-out double that got stuck behind a sign in left field and another scored on an error on a ball hit by Joe Carcone. Umpires initially signaled home run on the ball hit by Del Grande who circled the bases behind Mark Stuckey and Hall before the call was reversed; the ball had bounced in front of the fence and and gotten stuck behind a banner advertising Coors Light.
Page 2 of 2 - Stuckey drew a walk with two outs and got another rally started in the seventh inning. Tom Valichka followed with a check-swing single to right-center and Jack Morrow, who had entered the game as a pinch-hitter an inning earlier, drilled a two-run double down the left field line. Eric Helmrich then hit for Hall and Morrow scored the go-ahead run when Patterson's throw from shortstop sailed over the head of Elmira first baseman Zac Bellinger.
Cruz tacked an insurance run onto the Mohawk Valley lead with a towering home run that just stayed fair down the right field line in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Lisanti endured a pair of two-out errors inn the top of the ninth and notched his third save by striking out Ty Yesensky with the tying runs on base.
"We've been in that situation before and we've ended up on the losing end," Vaz said. "That shows that we're learning from our mistakes and we're maintaining our poise."
Cornell University's Cruz, the Ivy League home run leader in the spring, has homered in back-to-back games for the DiamondDawgs and is 4-for-8 with five runs balled in in wins against Watertown and Elmira.
Stuckey had two hits and scored three times Thursday and Hall scored two runs. Del Grande added two hits and was hit by a pitch for the eighth time this season.
Elmira catcher Spencer Brann drove in three runs and Corey Hamula had three of the Pioneers' six hits.
The DiamondDawgs return home Sunday after two days on the road and take on Watertown at 5:05 p.m.

This review is from: Giada at Home: Family Recipes from Italy and California (Hardcover)
Those who follow Giada De Laurentiis on her Emmy Award winning TV program (and there are jillions of you) know just how delicious, healthful, and beautifully presented her dishes are. Her four previous cookbooks have all topped bestseller lists, however, for this Giada fan GIADA AT HOME is something very special because not only are there a multitude of tasty recipes, but it is also a warm affectionate look at family, friends, and her adopted state of California.
I cannot remember seeing a cook who took so much pleasure in the preparation of food - perhaps it is because she's preparing for those she loves. Whatever the case, the recipes included in this book are family recipes form Italy and California. Some are generations old recipes (identified by being set in orange type), while others are new family recipes (set in green type). Readers will find that Giada has been happily influenced by what she finds at her local farmer's market - beautiful seasonal fruits and vegetables. Thus, she prepares dishes that spotlight these flavors. Delightful offerings!
GIADA AT HOME begins with Appetizers followed by Soups & Sandwiches, Pasta & Grains, Meat, Poultry & Fish, Vegetables & Salads, Desserts, and Brunch.
Photographs of the dishes by Jonelle Weaver are so real that one is tempted to take a bite. Relaxed candid shots of family and friends allow readers glimpses of the happiness engendered when loved ones gather to share a meal.
For this reader Brunch is one of my favorite chapters, especially as described: "In Italy weekends are all about the leisurely lunch, a meal that can start any time after one-thirty in the afternoon and might well stretch on into the early evening." It is the day's "main event."
It's so much more than a main event, it's a dreamed of libation if it begins with Limoncello and Blueberry Cooler and includes Mozzarella, Raspberry, and Brown Sugar Panini plus a Strawberry and Rosemary Scone or two.
Enjoy - I know you will!

I don't know if it will happen (probaly not) but I would like to see a GW:Beyond mission involving the Foefire. How about a mission where you play a Charr and have to try to stop Adelbern unleashing it (impossible offcourse), together with some nice cutscene which would bring players back to the cutscene when leaving Ascalon the first time.
What would you like to see for GW:Beyond?

"The Spiritual Journey" Project is an example of how artists have formed groups, bonded by either a common creative thought or manifesto, the need to exchange new ideas and to cross-fertilize creative thinking in visual form is what appears to unite art and artists. The project theme embraces all artistic styles, allowing for the whole artistic genre of figure, landscape and object to be explored.
This is an exhibition catalogue of contemporary art, that is a collaborative project between Advance level students at Devonport High School for Girls and local professional artists.
Devonport High School for Girls is an 11-18 selective grammar school, specialist language college, and partner in the Leading Edge Initiative.

Opposition: Syria's Iraq ambassador has defected
Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Syria's population, say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence sweeping the country of 22 million people. They are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Muslim groups.
Homs, Syria's third-largest city, has a substantial Christian population and has been one of the hardest-hit regions during the uprising. Rebels control several neighborhoods, which has sparked several rounds of intense attacks by government troops over the past months.
Syrian Christians have largely stuck by Assad, fearing the strength of Islamist hard-liners in the uprising against his rule.
"I stayed inside Hamidiyeh to protect the churches from looting. I saved 14 icons from the St. George church which has been destroyed," said Jihad Akhras, who was among those who were evacuated Wednesday.
He said the situation inside Hamidiyeh and Bistan al-Diwan was "tragic" with barely enough food for those who remain trapped there.
Associated Press writers Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations, Mark Lavie in Cairo and Sameer N. Yacoub in Baghdad contributed to this report.

'Gilligan's Island' Star Russell Johnson Dead at 89
2014 Razzie Nominations: 'Grown Ups 2,' 'After Earth' and 'Movie 43′ Lead the Pack
The "Golden Raspberry" Razzie awards set out to do the opposite work of the Academy Awards and "honor" the year's worst films, and every year, they have plenty of material to work with. While 2013 may have been one of the best years for movies in recent memory, it was also home to enough deplorable junk to make this a fairly interesting (if not at all surprising) year for Razzies.
'Magic: The Gathering' Movie to Be On Par With 'The Lord of the Rings'?
We live in a world where every single video game, old TV show, cartoon and even toy line has become ripe for cinematic adaptation, and now card games are entering the fray. 'Magic: The Gathering' is one of the most popular card games ever made, so it's not surprising that 20th Century Fox is now working to bring it to the big screen on a scale that's already being compared to 'Lord of the Rings.'
Two Shot in Florida Movie Theater After Dispute Over Texting During 'Lone Survivor'
We think that talking or texting during a movie is the epitome of rudeness and shouldn't be tolerated in any way. While we fully support hushing and zero-tolerance policies that eject talkers from theaters, we draw the line at physical violence and we imagine that even the most ardent movie fans would agree.
Well, it turns out that one man thought even more strongly about this than we did and took it to a tragic level.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' Gets 'Frozen' and Other Exciting Puns
Over the past few years, the 'Paranormal Activity' series has established itself as one of the most inexpensive and reliable horror franchises around. Produced for (non-literal) pennies, they've consistently opened strong at the box office, ensuring a fast and efficient turnaround. The latest film, 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones,' has already accomplished that goal, but it did so without grabbing the number one spot. Sure, people may love found footage demons, but it turns out that they love animated singing princesses more.
How 'Fast and Furious 7′ Will Handle Paul Walker's Character
In the weeks following the tragic death of Paul Walker, Universal and the crew of 'Fast and Furious 7' have been forced to drastically course correct the direction of the blockbuster franchise. With little time to mourn and countless jobs and dollars on the line, sources reveal director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and executive Jeffrey Kirschenbaum will gracefully "retire" Walker's Brian O'Conner from the series using footage already shot for the film.
The Rock Teases Involvement In a DC Superhero Movie
Earlier today, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson answered questions from fans as part of a free-for-all Twitter Q&A. Although you can check out the rest of the questions and answers by searching for the #RockTalk hashtag, one item should prove particularly interesting to fans of comic book movies. The beloved action star said that he's met with Warner Bros. executives concerning a DC Comics movie of some kind.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and More Battle It Out
Although you'd think people would spend the holidays in their homes catching up with their families and what-not, they actually tend to go to the movies after opening gifts and having awkward conversations. And Christmas Day moviegoers had a bunch of options this week, with recent releases (and not-so-recent releases) still going strong and a whole bunch of new releases arriving to coincide with the holiday.
'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' Clips Offer More Found-Footage Thrills and Chills
2014 looks like it will be a big year for the 'Paranormal Activity' franchise, with a fifth film hitting around Halloween and the intriguing spinoff, 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones,' arriving in a week. We don't know much about 'Paranormal Activity 5,' but we do know plenty about the spinoff, which takes this increasingly complicated found-footage saga of demons and possession to a Latino neighborhood. Two new clips have arrived from the film, and if you're looking for more of the same, you'll be very pleased.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Anchorman 2′ Can't Quite Catch 'The Hobbit'
The return of Ron Burgundy and his news team has been positioned as a big, huge deal. 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' has been marketed more than any major release this month and everyone just assumed that the film would effortlessly snag massive box office numbers thanks purely to saturation (on top of the fact that the original is quite beloved). So it must sting a little for Paramount to see the film open in second place and it must sting even more once they compare the opening numbers to the opening of the first film from 2004.

Growing Season
Friday, April 4th, 2014

Betty Bungard was presented with a gold honour badge at the
national conference of the Women's Institute, in Wellington
last Wednesday, in recognition of her long contribution to
the organisation.
The former justice of the peace attended her first institute
meeting with her mother in July 1953, as a teenager.
Keen to take on responsibility, she joined the institute's
local committee within a year.
She was president for six years, vice-president for five
years, secretary for 10 years, treasurer for four years, and
handcraft officer for three years.
Mrs Bungard may have done it all at the Waihola Women's
Institute but she played down her 61-year contribution to the
It was just a good, caring group to be part of, she said.
''We meet for lunch once a month at different people's
houses, listen to a guest speaker, and really just catch up
on local gossip,'' she said.
Mrs Bungard said there was no pressure at the institute
''Because we all know each other, you don't have to do a
frantic spring clean.''

On October 29, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the OCC issued a joint agreement to update and revise the 2004 Uniform Agreement on the Classification of Assets and Appraisal of Securities Held by Banks and Thrifts. The updated agreement reiterates the importance of a robust investment analysis process and the agencies' longstanding asset classification definitions. It also replaces references to credit ratings with alternative standards of creditworthiness consistent with sections 939 and 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act, which directed the agencies to remove any reference to or requirement of reliance on credit ratings in the regulations and replace them with appropriate standards of creditworthiness. The agencies adopted those new standards in 2012 (see, e.g., the OCC's final rule). The joint agreement provides examples to demonstrate the appropriate application of the new standards to the classification of securities.

A 'Birthright Bump' Among Young Jews?
Survey finds increased attachment to Israel, but political ambivalence
Among the findings of a new poll commissioned by the Workmen's Circle and conducted by Professors Steven M. Cohen and Samuel Abrams, according to a release, is that American Jews aged 18-34 who were not raised Orthodox or in a Jewish day school—that is, young American Jews most likely to have gone on Birthright or had friends who did—possess an "increased emotional attachment" to Israel, particularly compared to those slightly older than they (who were Birthright-age before Birthright existed). At the same time, the poll, whose sub-set had 888 respondents, found "decreased trust in Israel's policies toward the Palestinians."
All told, the professors infer a "Birthright Bump." Said Cohen in the release, "In all likelihood, the cumulative impact of Birthright Israel in bringing so many young Jews to Israel may be coming to the fore. While this finding is the first statistically significant results of its kind, it's very suggestive and very policy-relevant."
In an interview today, Cohen clarified that the evidence for a Birthright Bump is not definitive yet. "We have nothing past what I would call Stage 2 trials if this were a drug," he said. "I wouldn't prescribe this quite yet, but we're on the way to seeing clear evidence. It's a reasonable inference based on these data and other studies, which have been pointing in the same direction." He added, "We also know there are social network effects: when you know people who have certain attitudes, you adopt their attitudes." According to Cohen, Birthright Israel has no connection to the study, nor were respondents asked about it.
Interestingly, the Jews in this cohort don't appear to be more attached to Jewishness than their older co-religionists. It's more purely Israel. The Orthodox and day-schooled were left out of these results because those respondents are more likely to have gone on an organized trip to Israel before college and therefore have been ineligible for—and not gone on—Birthright. "Also they come out of environments that are strongly pro-Israel," Cohen added, "and the fluctuation would mask the between-age cohort effects."
As I reported, Birthright has brought roughly 300,000 Jews (not only Americans) to Israel since its inception in 1999, and will likely bring about 40,000, mostly Americans, this year alone.
Meanwhile, there's the political angle. Said Abrams, the other professor, "Among those under 35, people in my own age demographic, Jews can be both attached to Israel and assume fairly independent if not skeptical stances toward Israeli government policies." This actually mirrors what my far more informal survey of our own Birthright trip found: a strong connection with Israel (and Jewishness); and curiosity about Israeli politics that, I predicted, will lead new lovers of Israel to take issue with some of the things Israel is up to.

Exciting News
It takes a long time to pull everything together and the book will probably not be out until early 2011. It took me weeks to write the proposal. After a lot of "pondering" I finally got an outline of the chapters and the projects I wanted to include. Then I used Electric Quilt to design 10 of the quilts to give them an idea of the projects I had in mind.
So now I have to fill in all the gaps and actually write the book and make 16 quilts. Yikes! It's always exciting but scary too. I'm always afraid that I won't like the quilts after I've made them, and what if nobody else does either?
I've been collecting wonderful fabrics for the last few months in anticipation of using them in some of the quilts. Along with a "few" of my scraps, LOL.
13 comments:
Congratulations on the new book at least you will have a little time before the 16 quilts are due. I am assuming these will be small quilts?ReplyDelete
Congratulations Kathy! That is very exciting news.ReplyDelete
I so look forward to your new book! The fabrics here are wonderful!ReplyDelete
Thank you! The book will have a selection of large and small quilts with a 19th century focus.ReplyDelete
Way to go! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on the new book. I'll be watching for it. The fabrics you have chosen are lovely.ReplyDelete
Congratulations and I just love the fabric!ReplyDelete
Congratulations again. I applaud your efforts! And, I LOVE your fabrics. As I scrolled down and each set was revealed I couldn't believe how they kept getting better. (Although I will admit I am very partial to red!)ReplyDelete
As usual, I'm impressed with your knack for choosing frabics that go so well together, even though on the surface they seem to have nothing in common (to my unimaginitive eye). When I see the finished product I can always see how each of your choices of fabric ties in with and complements all the others!!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Ingrid. You give me too much credit though--most fabric lines come out with colors that complement each other, so a lot of that is done for me by the designers. The blue, purplish gray and yellow prints are called Indigo, Pewter and Honey by Judie Rothermel and are accurate reproductions of fabrics used in the 19th century.ReplyDelete
This is fantastic, a new book in the works. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Love the fabric combination's, I hope we'll see some seek peeks...wink wink.
Congratulations!!!! Lots of work, lots of fun and I have to say the color choices have me intrigued!ReplyDelete
Based on your past books, there is no doubt the new one will be a page turner as well! Congratulations.ReplyDelete

When I first found out I was pregnant I was over the moon but had no idea that as soon as the baby popped (or in my case pulled) out, I inadvertently had signed some weird invisible contract, that it appears I can't get out of for the foreseeable future.
Fundamentally, I think being honest about motherhood means accepting women of all shapes, sizes and looks can give birth, without putting a label on what a 'real' mum looks like. A real mum is a woman who looks after her child and if she does that looking flipping fantastic or does it wearing yesterday's mascara then who are we to judge?
I knew that I might not survive. The cancer was highly aggressive and the surgeries were very risky, carrying a 50% percent paralysis risk. At times I was tempted to focus on the injustice of it all. I'd done nothing to deserve this, but no cancer patient ever does. So, instead of staring hopelessly at the bleakness of my situation I determined to be positive...
According to the Conservative Party manifesto the 15 hours a week currently available to children following their third birthday is going to be doubled to 30 hours from 2017.
It is a myth that C-sections are the easy way out. Maybe if people stopped making birth a big test of motherhood and defining the experience by pain and endurance, perhaps women wouldn't be scared into booking elective caesareans.
On the way home from school, having clearly thought about this all day, he asked me if he could ask his friends to donate money to Nepal rather than to give him presents at his upcoming birthday party. Alasdair also wanted to donate some money from his own piggy bank.
I can see that in theory, when the room temperature is just so, the blinds are drawn and the appropriate gaps between naps have been reached; I should happily nod off. However, as we are both aware, this often isn't how it goes down. And you, I am guessing, want to know why.
Dating after kids is a different world from dating before kids. No longer does my date have to impress my mother over Sunday lunch before the relationship becomes serious. Now, I care more about whether she impresses my children.
Nine months of pregnancy can really take its toll on your body. Your hair, your skin, your nails, even your teeth can be effected by the new hormones circulating your body and it's rarely for the better!
Aliens landed in our backyard one night and inhabited the kids for what we earthlings call the Teen Years. Little do they know I have cracked their code.
What you need to remember, that happy parents tend to have happier children. And if the two of you are much happier divorced, then your children will eventually accept, that divorce is a pure act of two adults who have decided they are no longer happy to be together.
Don't get me wrong, a toy is a great tool for teaching kids. But I bet you my baby boy's first tooth that the new PC toys that are hitting the market right now will, like all the toys before them, change nothing unless we change the stories we, the adults, tell about diversity.
It's in the ordinary where we now find so much joy. Being together as a family, watching a film together, seeing Rog teach Sam how to play chess, and Flo grab an armful of books and snuggle up in bed next to her dad.
In recent times, an already tough job has got that much harder. The recession coupled with drastic cuts to public spending has left many single parents worse off, fighting just to keep their heads above water.
I know I am lucky that my husband has a job where this is financially viable for us to do. I know I am luckier still that I am out in Dubai as a stay at home mum, where it is the "normal" to stay at home so both myself, and the toddler, have a great social network.
As an atheist parent can I let off a sigh of relief? Not really because if you want your children to immerse themselves in the virtues of humanist liberalism will I not be also criticised for indoctrinating them?
In 2015, the environment available to majority of women is counterproductive for birth and not based on what we know is best for mums. It is this that I think we as a society, should be pursing as an essential change to offset the very real risk of losing the beauty of childbirth. Why is this so?
Because these are our children, and the problems they are exhibiting are ones we are giving them (and by we, I mean all of us living in the developed world - these problems cross countries and continents).

Typical American Jews Speak About Israel
Why did NYT reporter schlep to Michigan?
The New York Times today did what it does every month or two and published an article about Jews that is all but guaranteed to shoot to the top of its Most Emailed list (if it hasn't already). This one is about a familiar topic: The disconnect between American Jews and Jewish-American institutional leaders on the subject of Israel. The leaders have vociferously criticized the Obama administration for its harsh treatment of Israel in the past couple months; but many American Jews find themselves agreeing with the criticisms and aligning with upstart J Street, prominently featured in the article. While Obama's approval rating has probably plummeted among the leaders, it has been basically constant among all American Jews. The article reports:
A newly outspoken wing of Israel supporters has begun to challenge the old-school reflexive support of the country's policies, suggesting that one does not have to be slavish to Israeli policies to love Israel.
The article concerns all American Jews, but it is datelined "FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich." In other words, the Times's religion correspondent traveled to this Detroit suburb for the piece. He gathered a focus group consisting of non-participating members of Birmingham Temple, a secular humanistic synagogue there, in order to ask them about Israel and get a response from "the demographic middle." I was curious why the author went here, and not somewhere else. Are Farmington Hills and Birmingham Temple representative of American Jews generally? Unrepresentative? Turns out, probably a bit of both.
I called Rachel Sugar, a former editorial assistant at Nextbook.org (Tablet Magazine's precursor). She grew up near Farmington Hills; her bat mitzvah was held at Birmingham Temple (though it was not performed by that synagogue). In many ways, she said, the area is a typical heavily Jewish suburb of a major American city: A Shaker Heights, or a Newton, or a Bethesda (represent!). There is an interesting demographic quirk, though: Farmington Hills has a large minority of Arabic residents, particularly Iraqi Christians (who more famously congregate in nearby Dearborn). "We get groceries at the Iraqi Christian supermarket down the street," Sugar told me. So that could provide Jewish residents with an especially interesting perspective.
Then there's Birmingham Temple. The article describes it as "secular humanistic," without elaborating on what that means. It also doesn't note that this isn't any old secular humanistic shul, but rather is the original secular humanistic synagogue, started in 1963 by Rabbi Sherwin Wine, the founder of the Society for Humanistic Judaism. (He died three years ago in a car crash with his life-partner. Yup, a gay rabbi!) Humanistic Judaism celebrates certain Jewish holidays, but it bills itself as a "nontheistic alternative to Jewish life," which instead of belief in God subscribes to a "human-based philosophy."
The author of the article says he selected several inactive members of Birmingham Temple for a sort of focus group because they "roughly matched the profile of about 60 percent of American Jews, according to various studies: They do not belong to a synagogue and do not attend services or belong to Jewish organizations, yet they consider themselves Jewish." I confess I didn't know about Secular Humanistic Judaism until reporting this post (and, by the way, please be kind in the comments), but I have to say, without judgment, that just as wealthy, politically conservative institutional leaders are probably not typical American Jews, my guess is that adherents of this branch of the religion—particularly ones who don't even affilate with the synagogue—are not necessarily speaking for the "demographic middle" either. But maybe this conservative Jew who lives in New York City is blinkered?
Anyway, I do have a final hunch as to why Farmington Hills was chosen. It is in Oakland County, which, as political junkies know, has replaced neighboring Macomb County as what pollsters consider to be the average American county, demographically speaking. Something tells me that not too many institutional American Jewish leaders hail from there, and it is hard to deny that has become a problem.

I got one of these for my short coated boxer/pit mix. She loves to play in the snow, but will barely go out to pee when she is cold. We go to the dog park everyday and usually are there at least an hour. In the winter she turns into a pupsicle after about 10 minutes, leaving us with a dog bursting with energy when we want to sleep. With this coat, we can make it an hour or more and get a tired pup. It needs to fit snug, think like a speedo. I would size down, our girl is 42 pounds of muscle and in a medium. Better yet, take your dog to the store to try the coat on, we had to exchange our large even though we went by the measurements.

From The CriticsReviewer: Mark D. Goodman, MD(Creighton University Medical Center)
Description: This book is small in size, but large in content, updating primary care providers on the standards of HIV care. The book opens with a history of the disease and marches through transmission, therapy, diagnosis, and treatment of common clinical syndromes and closes with a chapter on HIV in special populations.
Purpose: The purpose is to impress upon us, as care providers, of the way in which HIV care has changed, and to emphasize the new populations at risk. As stated in the preface, "each patient encounter offers an opportunity to alter the course of this epidemic". These are certainly good care objectives and the authors do a sterling job of providing an update.
Audience: The book is written for primary care providers, according to the editors. The authors are among the finest in this field.
Features: Initially, I was disappointed in the book, because the introduction started with statistics and dates like most every other book dealing with this subject. I happened to be attending the HIV update courses at ICAAC in Chicago at the time, and was able to hear some of these authors speak and present, and very quickly it became clear that the book is cutting edge and written with great authority. The tables and boxed points are helpful and concise, and each chapter closes with a set of "Key Points," which provide a nice summary. In any book where breadth is desired, depth is sometimes sacrificed, and there are many chapters where additional information would have been welcome. In the chapter on common clinical syndromes, a discussion of nights sweats would have been helpful. The photo plates at the end of the book are too limited to be of assistance.
Assessment: This book is among the best for its audience — primary medical care providers. The editors and authors have done a great service in providing a book that can be a roadmap for quality provision of care. The second edition is not only useful, but required, and soon there will need to be a third, a fourth, etc.
