Country/Date of Origin: Great Britain/1800s
One of the youngest of the spaniel breeds, the Field Spaniel is slower than the cocker and lower to the ground than the springer. It does the same job, however, flushing or "springing" game from cover so that the hunter can shoot it.
At the end of the 19th Century, a passion for a stylized spaniel was almost the undoing of the Field Spaniel. They were bred so low and so long with such heavy bones and short legs that they were useless in the field. In the twentieth century an infusion of Springer and Cocker blood fixed most of the excesses. Today it is a happy, healthy breed again.

Weekend stay. Rooms were clean, great setup with separate bedroom, wet bar and living space. Location was great for downtown activities. Easy access on/off interstate and several trendy neighborhoods. Hot breakfast was good, but the continental breakfast area was not adequately stocked or re-stocked for the number of guests at the hotel. We were unable to get breakfast during one morning - it was all gone. Waited 10 minutes with no new food put out.
The noise level was unbelievable! The atrium just echoes any voice, waterfall, laughter, chatter, or whisper. We were on 3rd floor and it was still loud and outrageous at 11:45pm Saturday night! Hallway noise, slamming doors, kids running the hallways. It was a bit better with bedroom door closed, but for guests on the sleeper sofa, there was very little sleep. While the hotel has signs about 10pm noise curfews, it didn't seem like it was well enforced. Unfortunately when parents don't supervise their kids, we all end up regretting it. Hotel needs to do a better job of enforcing their rules for all their guests to make the stay enjoyable.
Microwave and fridge were great. No free wi-fi will make me stay elsewhere in this day and age though. Family has too many devices... Kids have homework on laptops.

Are you a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels, short stories, art, movies, TV shows, or meta? Have you heard of the Hugo Awards in the past as a good thing, and heard rumors of shenanigans this year? Do you have US$40 you could spend for the right to vote, and incidentally getting some good e-books out of it? You could be a Hugo voter!
How to become a Hugo voter
The Hugos are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Society, which has a convention in a different city every year. This year's Worldcon is Sasquan and is taking place in Spokane, Washington, from August 19th to 23rd, 2015. You can vote for the Hugos if you're going to attend the con, but you can also buy a supporting membership which allows you to vote this year, and to nominate for next year's awards.
This year's voting closes July 31. You'll get an e-packet of material to help you decide which of the nominees to vote for. This year, the packet includes complete e-copies of: all the nominated short fiction; the complete text of the novels The Goblin Emperor, The Three-Body Problem, and The Dark Between the Stars; complete copies of Sex Criminals, Saga Vol. 3, and Rat Queens; and a watermarked but complete copy of Ms Marvel Vol.1. For the movies ("Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form"), TV episodes ("Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form") and podcasts, you're on your own, though links are provided.
Time is short, and I know the volume of material to consider looks daunting. You don't have to vote in every category! Just pick ones that interest you and give it your best, most honest shot.
I'm particularly encouraging my friends in transformative works and Tumblr fandom to consider voting because you-all are younger than the average Hugo voter (Worldcon members tend to be aging baby boomers, like me), which is good for the future of the award and the fandom, and because many of you have a lot of insights and opinions about visual and audio media: comics, fancasts, TV shows, art.
The voting system
The Hugo Awards use Instant Runoff Voting. There are no more than five nominees in each category, and you rank them in order from first down. This system rewards candidates with broad appeal to all the Hugo voters.
No Award: If you feel, in a given category, that you like Alpha best, Bravo next, and Charlie after that, but you don't think either Delta or Echo deserves a Hugo, your ballot should read:
1. Alpha
2. Bravo
3. Charlie
4. No Award
If you personally would rather see No Award win, but wouldn't be upset if Delta won, then put Delta after No Award:
1. Alpha
2. Bravo
3. Charlie
4. No Award
5. Delta
If you think it would be a travesty for either Delta or Echo to win, leave them both off.
Should you go to Worldcon?
Last year's Worldcon was in London, the one before that was in San Antonio, Texas, next year's is in Kansas City. Because Worldcon moves around, because it's put together by volunteers, and because it has few or no actors attending, it never gets terribly large compared to Dragoncon, much less ComicCon. Currently, Sasquan has about 4000 attending members and 5000 supporting members, from five continents ... plus one in Earth orbit.
Compared to other cons you might have attended, Worldcon runs light on high-gloss movie, TV, and game presentations, but heavy on cosplay and music. Cosplay isn't just in the halls, there's also the Masquerade, a judged costume and stage show that always includes some staggeringly beautiful and complex presentations -- last year's Best in Show Winner, "Aratalindale", for instance, depicted the Valar from Tolkien's Simarillion. Worldcon music includes performances, filking, and many types of dancing. There's an Art show and Artist's Alley, of course. Alas, the deadline for the Writer's Workshop has passed, but there are lots of other opportunities to talk about writing and fanworks.
I'll make another post about this year's Hugo nominees, some historical background, and some possible guidelines about what to look for, but I want to keep it separate from this one. Reblog, tell your friends, think about getting more of us into the structures of SFF fandom. I believe we're the future of the future, and I encourage you to take up that shiny shiny mantle.

This week, for the first time, a Melissa Mayeux registered for Major League Baseball's international registration list -- which makes her the first woman to be eligible to play major league baseball in the United States.
Or course, the young lady is French, not American. Why not? Because, in the US, women play softball and men play baseball. A few girls have managed to get on boys teams in Little League recently, or even high school teams. But after that? The NCAA, for example, does not have women's baseball teams, just softball. (Which means that a woman who wants an athletic scholarship can't get one for baseball.)
Women play baseball in Japan (their teams have contacted Miss Mayeux about her playing there). And they play baseball in Europe, obviously. But the US sticks with seperate but equal. (Women did get to play baseball in the US during WW II, when the men were off to war. But that ended shortly after the war was over.)
Which is why, when the first woman makes it to the major leagues, she will probably not be an American. Just another glass ceiling in the US.

Guest post by Bruce Baugh; originally a comment at File770.
There's an aspect of worldview which is sort of prior to specific politics, religion or philosophy, and so on, that needs some explicit attention.
Some people believe that it's possible (in the sense of "feasible for some significant number of people", not the abstract possible under conditions no one ever actually attains) to be a basically good person. You will go through your life and seldom if ever do any genuine harm except if you go at it with deliberate malicious intent. Any unintentional harm you do will necessarily be small and contained, and almost certainly easily remedied. You are fully capable of overcoming inherited prejudices floating around in your society, and of seeing the world clearly and largely correctly.
Such people tend to be relatively advantaged -- "unmarked", in a very useful phrase from social studies. You don't need or expect to have to use a lot of adjectives to describe yourself: you're American (or whatever your nationality is); if you're married, you just say "I'm married" and the sex of your spouse is assumed; if you're a professional in almost any field, you can just say "I'm an X"; and so on. And such people tend to take the charge that they've said or done something prejudicial really seriously. After all, if you can expect to be a good person except if you choose otherwise, and you've done something clearly un-good, that means the accuser is saying you did deliberately, with malice, choose to be hurtful. That would make you a bad person, and since you're not, they're out of line.
Other people believe that we never altogether escape our legacies, and that they include a bunch of ugly screwed-up stuff as well as good things. We can -- and should -- aim to do better, but perfection isn't attainable, and we are likely to do small harms (and sometimes larger ones) all the time. Sometimes it's through ignorance, sometimes it's through laziness and unwillingness to change the habits that give hurt, usually it's a fair dose of both. In this view, dishing out harm is a routine though unwelcome part of life, and it's no great achievement -- but also no great burden, really -- to respond by acknowledging it, apologizing, seeing what you can do to repair things, and then working to not do that particular one again. As Huey Lewis put it once, "All I want from tomorrow / is to get it better than today."
This view is more common among people who are "marked": those who are hyphenated Americans, who will have to say something to avoid incorrect assumptions about the sex or gender of their loved ones, who can expect to be called a "lady X" instead of just "an X", and so on. They have more experience of being on the receiving end of a lot of unintended but nonetheless genuinely hurtful junk, and of seeing other deny responsibility for the hurt they've given. They see too how even when dealing with their own friends, family, and peers, disparaging attitudes about their kind can slip in and color what they do. (This is what "internalized" bigotry means: believing crap about yourself and people like you, and treating yourself or others like you the way people with social advantages over you are prone to.)
In my view, the second approach is vastly more realistic. We do all screw up a bunch all the time. Nobody can go through life constantly apologizing…but we can go through life recognizing that we do things worth apologizing for all the time, and try to do better. We can be humble about our limitations.
It's in this context that telling someone "hey, that was kind of racist" or "that's just flat-out sexist, unless I'm missing something" or "are you sure you want to be passing on that kind of rank homophobia?" is…not trivial, but not a big deal, and not an overall judgment of any sort on your character. If you slam a door on my fingers, I'll probably yell and want you to open the door right away rather than stand around arguing that it's no big deal and why am I making you feel bad. But if you do open the door right away and help me get some ice, I'm going to think that it wasn't anything you intended and not think any the worse of you as a person. Same deal. Furthermore, I won't claim to be sure that I have never done that to anyone else, nor that I am sure I wouldn't, couldn't, do it myself in the future sometime, because I know that accidents happen. I also know that acting on prejudicial scripts inherited from the many dimensions of culture that surround us all happens.
What I may do is think less of you based on your response. If I see you dodge responsibility time after time, I'll think less of you. If I see you insist that nobody should feel hurt by the thing you did time after time, ditto. I expect adults to be willing to acknowledge the potential for error in themselves and to be willing to work on fixing it and improving things without making a big deal, just as I wouldn't feel it appropriate to celebrate someone merely for not slamming people's fingers in doors, not crapping in other people's drinking water, and almost never setting any occupied homes on fire.
The problem is how to communicate any of that who have a conviction of their own basic perfectibility and who've never thought about it.

It's here. 5-4, Kennedy wrote the opinion, on Fourteenth Amendment grounds.
In my non-legal opinion, the really important Amendment for this decision was the Nineteenth, women's suffrage.
Marriage equality isn't just saying that all *marriages* are equal, it's saying that both persons in a marriage are equal. As I've said before, a traditional marriage involves a man -- a human being who may have full legal, economic, and political rights -- and a woman -- who cannot have full rights. Basically, traditional marriage unites (at best) something like 1.7 human beings, and obviously a marriage between two men (2 human beings) or two women (maybe 1.4 human beings) is fundamentally different.
But once women have access to *all* the rights men do, once women are treated under law as full human beings, marriage is in fact redefined to be a relationship that involves 2.0 humans. Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other: a marriage between two adult persons is equal to another marriage between a different set of adult persons.
Marriage equality is a triumph for women's rights. I think a great deal of the angst and vitriol from the opponents of equality used homophobia as a stalking horse for male supremacy. "Adam and Steve" got the abuse, but the underlying fear was that Eve would go off with Lilith, leaving Adam with no-one to Lord it over. Dogs and cats, living together, mass hysteria.

Well. Not quite the vote lineup I predicted, but it seems a keeper. And Scalia didn't actually explode like the guy in Big Trouble in Little China, but I was a little less sure on that one.
An interesting week, it seems.

I just woke up, groggy and overslept, and saw that the King v Burwell decision has come down. The SCOTUSblog summary says:
Today, by a vote of six to three, the Court agreed with the Obama administration that the subsidies are available for everyone who bought health insurance through an exchange, no matter whether that exchange was created by a state or the federal government.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the Court's opinion, which Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan all joined. The Court acknowledged that, at first blush, the phrase "established by the State" does not appear to include the federal government. After all, the ACA specifically defines "State" as "each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia." But other parts of the law, the Court explained, suggest that the "meaning of the phrase 'established by the State' is not so clear." For example, one provision that defines who is qualified to purchase insurance on an exchange refers to an individual who "resides in the State that established the Exchange" -- which on the plaintiffs' reading would mean that no one would be qualified to buy health insurance on exchanges established by the federal government.
And if the phrase "established by the State" is in fact not clear, the Court continued, then the next step is to look at the Affordable Care Act more broadly to determine what Congress meant by the phrase. And when you do that, the Court reasoned, it becomes apparent that Congress actually intended for the subsidies to be available to everyone who buys health insurance on an exchange, no matter who created it. If the subsidies weren't available in the states with federal exchanges, the Court explained, the insurance markets in those states simply wouldn't work properly: without the subsidies, almost all of the people who purchased insurance on the exchanges would no longer be required to purchase insurance because it would be too expensive. This would create a "death spiral," in which insurance premiums would go up and enrollment would go down. It is "implausible," the Court concluded, "that Congress meant the Act to operate in this manner."
Justice Antonin Scalia dissented, in an opinion joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito that began by describing the majority's conclusion as "quite absurd." The tone only gets even more strident from there, with Scalia lamenting that "words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by the State is 'established by the State.'" And he concludes by complaining that the majority's opinion-- as it did three years ago in upholding the individual mandate -- "changes the usual rules of statutory interpretation for the sake of the Affordable Care Act." Perhaps, he suggested, "We should start calling this law SCOTUScare."

OK I lied, I have one opinion. Two opinions. Among my chief opinions .... Anyway, Scalia's suggestion about "SCOTUScare" reminds me of the Sad and Rabid Puppies in SF fandom, who continue to bark on a daily basis. One characteristic of the Puppies is that they *love* to make up names for their opponents: SJWs, CHORFs, puppy-kickers, Torlings (a Vox Day-ism, implying that people are actually minions of Tor, the SF publisher) ... I can't keep track, frankly. They love to make up names for themselves, too, so I think it's not just "name-calling" as opprobrium, it's bonding.
Now Scalia is doing it in a Supreme Court opinion, for heaven's sake. Scalia says he gets his news from conservative sources only. He's been called the Fox News Justice for the way he appears to use conservative talking points to prepare for oral arguments. My respect for his intelligence keeps trending down.

I found it interesting that at 8 this morning, I read this
"The great argument we made from a business perspective was that if you were trying to introduce a product, would you make something that made 38% of your market uncomfortable?" says Blake Wilson, CEO of the Mississippi Economic Council, referring to the black population in the state. "It was a no-brainer from our perspective, but we probably misjudged the ability for business to influence the general public. The people in Mississippi were not ready to take that step."
Two-thirds of Mississippians backed the old flag over one that had been redesigned without any Confederate symbolism. Ole Miss's Bruce says that the alternative flag was not particularly well liked and that many Mississippians saw no threat from businesses that may not want to set up shop because of the flag. "I think the mood was, We're a poor, agrarian state anyway," Bruce says. "You can't hurt us."
and at 4:30, I read this
In Mississippi, top state Republicans were split over the state's flag, the last of the 50 state banners to include a specific image of the battle flag. House Speaker Philip Gunn said Monday that the image, which appears in a corner of the Mississippi flag, is offensive and should be removed.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves responded Tuesday that the decision should be up to Mississippians, who voted 2-1 in 2001 to keep the flag. Gov. Phil Bryant, also a Republican, said he supported that referendum result.
On to Mississippi. Just hours after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley asked the state legislature to pass a law removing the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state Capitol on Monday, Mississippi's Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn issued a call for his state to follow suit. The Confederate battle flag is embedded in the upper left corner of the official state flag, but "as a Christian," Gunn wrote on Facebook, "I believe our state's flag has become a point of offense that needs to be removed." Henry Barbour, the nephew of former Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and a well-connected politico himself, echoed Gunn's call.
And for a bit of lagniappe, this
Now, I'm sure the commentariat has some interesting observations about this, but talking about the Stars and Bars brings back some interesting memories that I will put below the fold.

Adventure has been defined as a story about someone else having a really rough time of it at least 50 years or 500 miles away. Generally both -- think of westerns generally or Indiana Jones, or Star Wars or Firefly. If it's not a rough time, it's not an adventure. If it isn't safely distant, either in time or in space, it hits too close to home to be really enjoyable.
Adventures can come in various forms. The most common involves people having a rough time of it physically. I suspect because it is easy to relate to someone being cold and wet and miserable -- most of us have been there. Or to someone having some kind of noxious "other people" throwing one unpleasantness after another at him. (And overwhelmingly, it is him, rather than her, having a rough time of it -- especially if the rough time is physical. Not always, of course, especially in the last few decades. But still heavily weighted.)
So let's look at an adventure in progress before our very eyes. In this case, the rough time is fiscal, rather than physical. But it involves a situation most of us can relate to: getting into a financial hole, and having nothing but painful ways to get out of it.
Currently, the EU is having adventures (from our point of view, albeit not necessarily from their own, being too close) with Greece. Note that, in this case, both sides are in a hole -- and each is in a hole that is largely of their own making.
Greece has basically been spending other people's money like there is no tomorrow -- and now tomorrow has arrived. Of course they don't want to let go of the comfortable life they have been living. Why would they? But there are no longer any others willing to fund it for them. Which seems horribly unfair, if you are a Greek who has based his personal financial planning(?) on the assumption that the good times will never end.
At the same time, the EU (specifically the euro zone) is in a different hole. They let a member country in without adequately checking its finances. And then they lent it money to keep going, without getting (not just demanding, but actually getting) changes to restore its finances to something sustainable. Now, they don't want to keep funding Greece's extravagances.
But they have problems of their own:
A) Many of their own banks hold a lot of Greek debt, which will be worthless if Greece leaves the euro and goes bankrupt (not necessarily in that order). Which, if the ECB and the IMF stop lending it lots of money, it will.
B) There are other EU member countries which are, if in nowhere near as bad a shape as Greece, still on somewhat shaky ground financially. Greece leaving (or, more likely, getting tossed out) might cause a run on their debts as well.
C) There is no provision in the EU's governing documents for a country to leave -- voluntarily or involuntarily. So if Greece goes bankrupt, it isn't entirely clear how the EU gets shut of them.
(A salutary lessons for all, no doubt; not that anyone should expect countries in the future to learn it. And great fun all around . . . at least if you aren't one of those living in the midst of it.)
Part of the fun in reading or watching an adventure is trying to figure out how the author is going to get the hero out of it in one piece. The difference with this adventure is that, without an author controlling the plot (conspiracy theorists to the contrary notwithstanding), there's no way to be sure they will get out of it OK. Not to mention that I, for one, am having a little trouble identifying someone involved who I could consider a hero.

This post is about the shootings in Charleston. It's a topic about which people are going to have strong feelings, in a wide variety of directions, so I would like to ask a couple of favors.
Please don't direct ad hominem comments toward other folks here on the blog.
Please don't call for anybody to be shot or otherwise bent, folded, or mutilated. That request is mostly directed at the Count. Nothing personal, at all, it just is what it is. Cream pies are fair game.
Venting is OK if you need to do that, and being angry is OK if you need to do that, but please try to keep it between the lines.
So - my question: why is it so apparently difficult for conservative spokespeople - people holding elected office, people running for elected office, conservative media organs like Fox - to acknowledge the racial motivation behind the shooting?
Roof has stated that he wanted to shoot black people to start a race war. He wore flags from white supremacist apartheid regimes. Etc etc etc.
Why the apparent difficulty in acknowledging all of that?
I am, sincerely, not trying to call anybody racist, or stir up controversy for the sake of it. I simply don't understand what I'm hearing, and I'd like to.
Are public conservatives simply afraid to discuss race, full stop? Do they sincerely not recognize it as a dynamic in this case? Are they overly sensitive to being somehow associated with Roof and his ideology, so they want to steer the conversation in some other direction?
Note that *none of those things* require a presumption of a racist motive. I'm not assuming one. I just don't get it, and I'd like to try to get it.
As with the gun regulation thread, if things get too crazy, I'll close comments. Not trying to shut down conversation, just trying to keep things as civil as possible.
Over to you all. And again, it's a topic that folks no doubt have very strong feelings about - I know that I do - so inside voices will be appreciated.

Tennessee State vs. Belmont Pick

NCAA Basketball Pick – March 8th
The Ohio Valley Conference Tournament continues on Friday night with the debut game of the Belmont Bruins. The boys on the bubble will hope to help remove all doubt on their quest to capture the OVC auto-bid, which begins with a battle on the college basketball betting odds against the Tennessee State Tigers.
Many considered the Tigers dark horses to win this tournament, and here they are, two wins away from dancing. Of course, they have really only taken care of the business that they were expected to tend to by taking down the Morehead State Eagles thus far here in Nashville. The game wasn't an overly tough one, but it was a game at pace for sure. The 88 points scored in that game against the Eagles marked the seventh time in the last nine games that the Tigers scored at least 80, and one of those games came against this very same Belmont team a few weeks ago. The game totally revolves around just four players for TSU, and that could become problematic the deeper this tournament goes. F Robert Covington, F Kellen Thornton, G Patrick Miller, and G Jordan Cyphers are accounting for nearly 60 points per game between them, and they are also good for a large percentage of the boards and assists that this team comes up with.
The Bruins are the interesting study, though. Are they in the NCAA Tournament right now? It's going to be a tough sell to take two teams out of the Ohio Valley to the dance, but if two made it from the Metro Atlantic last year, why not? Belmont has an RPI of 22 and the No. 2 out of conference strength of schedule in the land. It's not the Bruins' fault that they played in a conference that was merely average this season. Of course, winning these next two games on Friday and Saturday would have bubble dwellers breathing a bit easier and would surely remove the doubt for Belmont. Stopping G Ian Clark is nearly impossible, and he is one of these players that, assuming the Bruins do get into the dance, could be a name that you'll learn a lot about. He is shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and 46.2 percent from long range, and that's translating into 18.1 points per game. Four others are averaging at least 9.9 points per game as well, and just like Tennessee State, Belmont doesn't sub out its stars all that often.
We have to remember though, that the Tigers have a history of causing Belmont troubles. The Bruins were 0-2 ATS this year in this series, and they even lost one of those two games outright. Could we be watching the first major upset on the bubble this year? We wouldn't discount the idea. We certainly want the points on our side, and we wouldn't be shocked if this were a major upset, too. Tennessee State 82 – Belmont 78

Wynton's new book, entitled "Moving to Higher Ground: How can Jazz change your life" will be in stores on September 2, 2008.
Feel free to download the first chapter of the book (PDF – 78 kb).
You can also pre-order the book on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Following you can find Wynton's letter to readers of the new book.
Dear Reader:
When I first decided to become a musician, at the age of 12 or 13, inspired by my father, and by the New Orleans jazz tradition, I was under the impression that I had only to learn the fundamentals of music—rhythm, melody, harmony, texture—to progress as a musician. What I didn't know then was that over the next three decades, jazz music would teach me many significant things about living. This book is my attempt to share some of the things I've learned through jazz about life.
Jazz can help us realize the potential of ourselves and of our country. We hear a lot these days about how important it is for Americans to come together. Well, we've been doing that on the bandstand for more than a century. Jazz was integrated long before Jackie Robinson made it to the Majors. It is the unique American music form. It can help us, personally and collectively, to move to higher ground. It proves many working metaphors for successful contemporary democratic engagement.
Central to the music of the great jazz musicians I write about in MOVING TO HIGHER GROUND: How Jazz Can Change Your Life, is the importance of being yourself—of prizing those things that make you unique and that express the truth of who you are—while recognizing the importance of listening to and responding to that same truth from other people. Without that kind of reciprocity, swinging, on stage or in everyday life, is impossible. With it, however, our collective creativity will assuredly take on all types of unimaginable and exciting new forms.
Jazz gives us soulful insights into history and the human condition. The blues, a universal musical form, was born to heal. Jazz helps you find, or hold on to, the proper balance between your right to have things your own way and your responsibility to respect others, while working with them to improvise toward a common goal. Jazz also demonstrates that great art can be for everybody. It's both down-home and sophisticated. It deals with elite ideas but is not elite. I have written this book because I believe jazz can change your life, as it has changed mine.
I hope you will read MOVING TO HIGHER GROUND: How Jazz Can Change Your Life – and let me hear from you.
Yours in the spirit of swing,
Wynton Marsalis

"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"I really enjoyed these invitations. They are beautiful, especially when printed out (we used the default card stock and they were gorgeous). I think the invitations are elegant and lovely; perfect for a fall wedding. I really liked that I could put both set of parents on the invitation without it looking too busy or awkward. I loved the edits that the website's wedding designer/reviewer did to make sure everything was perfect. Even better, the cards arrived ahead of schedule. Flawless customer service and a beautiful invitation."
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I ordered this invitation for my upcoming destination wedding. Designing the invitation was easy and they have specialized reviewers who will check your projects for any spelling or grammar errors. I submitted my invite and in less than a day the reviewer had already emailed me with some recommended changes. The product arrived the exact date as promised and I was happy to see that they were larger than expected. The photo quality was excellent and all of my family friends truly loved them! I was so happy with this purchase and will definetly recommend this website to future buyers!"
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."

I still had a nucb with gd. I managed the gd with diet and exercise, and my baby was on the small side (6lb 15 oz). He always measured on the small side, so my doc was always open to whatever I wanted in the way of birth. I ended up going 40+4, and I was 40 years old, so my doc was recommending induction at 41 weeks. I am thankful that I went into labor naturally! I had weekly NSTs for at least the last month (quite honestly, I do not remember the details!), and my LO was doing well. That is another reason my doc was open to whatever I wanted to do with the birth. If you can regulate with diet and exercise, you have a very good chance of a nucb. I cannot speak to insulin/med controlled gd, but the real risk is with macrosomia.
Anyway, work with a nutritionist and stick to your diet plan, take your blood sugar regularly as suggested, and agree to the NSTs as recommended. These will all aid in reaching your goal of a nucb, imo. GD itself is NOT a reason to give up on a natural birth!
Platinum Boobies ( . Y . )
I also had diet-controlled GD with my last pregnancy and had a water birth, just like with my first two pregnancies. Like the PP said - if it's well under control it shouldn't be an issue. GL.
DS 6 & DS 3 & DS 1 & DS born on 11/11/12
I'm assuming you have gestational diabetes and not type 1 or 2. I have type 1 and had great blood sugar with my last pregnancy. My a1c was 5.4 which is very good, but I still had a c-section at 38 weeks because LO was huge and other medical reasons. It varies for each woman and each pregnancy. But obviously it is possible to have a NUCB with diabetes since the PPs were able to do it. I'd say go for it as long as it doesn't put you or LO at risk!
I started the hypnobabies program and I'm planning on a natural birth but the GD diagnosis does put a kink in my plan. Maybe it shouldn't?!
I don't think it should. I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago and was unable to manage with diet and exercise, so I transferred to OB care and meds last week. I got my post-prandial numbers down to a great level but I couldn't stabilize the fasting numbers.
After a rocky start in the hospital, I feel pretty good about my ability to still have a lot of what I want (no pain meds, mobility through labor, flexibility for positions and minimal interventions) as long as all our vitals remain stable. The biggest shock for me was hearing what becomes standard once brought in as "high risk", and I think since I was with LMs for most of my pregnancy until transfer in week 35, it was assumed that my GD was uncontrolled and I was off the charts. After the first week of new care provider, we've confirmed that my fundal height is average (35 at 35 weeks) and as my son was 9lb9oz, delivered vaginally, I have a "proven pelvis". I'm on metformin now which is causing some unfortunate GI side effects, but as long as there aer no concerning indicators and my NSTs keep showing what the docs are calling "a super happy baby", I should be good to have my NUCB in hospital.
Good luck to you for the same!
Erin, 33, Seattle

No, no, no, don't cut yourself! That will not help anything. I'm sorry you've been stressing, but there are healthy ways to relieve stress. Spill all in your diary. Make art. Eliminate activities you aren't totally into to free up your schedule. Go to bed earlier. Walk with a friend or parent. Take up running or a sport. Instead of hurting yourself, take care of yourself. And above all, find someone to talk to, like a school counselor or understanding aunt or older friend, or talk to your parents about seeing a therapist. You don't have to feel this way.

Don't worry had a good rummage to pick the best tubers. They had just been put out so I had a good choice
Well I got exactly what I wanted from B&M's only 2 pound a tuber and also got a couple from Homebase. Has buy 2 get 1 free offer so worked out just over 2 pound a tuber in there too.
I bought J Arthur bowers at Morrisons last year and although was a little more was pretty good.
No the sweet peas will be hardy enough to go outside now mine are in a unheated mini greenhouse its just they wont germinate without a little heat if they put straight outside this time of year. As soon as they germinate I put them outside as they get leggy otherwise indoors.
Sweet pea is another if you use a bit of heat indoors them put them in your grow house.
I have a zephirine drouhin and it really is fragrant and seems to tick all your boxes
thanks ill have a look
yeah its my first year storing tubers now I just have them in buckets in the loft. Our loft is cold in the winter as its ventilated for the trusses in it but doesn't get frosty. So hopefully pretty much ideal storage conditions. The tubers I have at the minute are from ones I have grown from seed. That's one thing I would say If anyone hasn't grow dahlias from seed they are the easiest things I have ever grown and perform really well first year. Thanks for the replys ill have a pop down my local gardening centre.
I might pop down and have a look I am wanting a bishop of llandaff and a bishop of oxford along with some decorative ones and some gladioli. Thanks for the replys
last year I sowed in clumps and just thinned out seemed to work well. They are really tiny seedlings.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
atented New. d, li id DIALKYL ESTERS or rmsa'rm'a'rnn DICARBOXYLIC Aclns as rmsnc'rronons William Moore and Richard 0. lltoblin, .lr., Stamford, Conn, assignors to American Cyanamid N. Y a corporation oi Company, New York Maine No Drawing. Application September It, 1940,
Serial No. 356,858
6 Claims.
The present invention relates to insecticides and is concerned more particularly with a series of compounds which have proven especially effective as contact poisons for the control of insects and allied pests and their eggs.
We have discovered that the dialkyl esters of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in which there is an unsaturated linkage between the carbon atoms which carry the carboxyl groups possess powerful insecticidal and ovicidal activity against sucking, soft-bodied and scale insects and their eggs, for example the bean aphid, the citrus red spider and red scale, and that such activity is attained without any substantial harmful or detrimental action on the vegetation infested with the insect.
Typical vexamples of such compounds include dirnethyl fumarate, diethyl maleate, dipropyl fumarate, diisopropyl maleate, diallyl maleate, dibutyl fumarate, diamyl maleate, diisoamyl fumarate, diheptyl maleate, di(2-ethyl-hexyl) fumarate, dicapryl fumarate, di(2-ethylhexyl) maleate, didodecyl fumarate, ditetradecyl fumarate, ditetradecyl maleate, and dioctadecyl fumarate.
The following example illustrates a general method of preparing the above compounds in accordance with the invention.
EXAMPLE Spray solutions were prepared by dissolving the insecticidal compounds in a solvent medium' consisting of 65% acetone and 35% water. Table 1 shows the kills obtained under comparable conditions for the various dilutions when the sprays were applied to red spiders and aphids.
Table 1 Insect Compound Dilution Kill 1 Percent Citrus red sp1der Diallyl maleete 1-500 100 Do do 1-l,000 48.6 Do 1-500 100 Do 0 1-1,00o 95.3 Do Diisoamylfumarate. 11,000 100 Do.- .d0 12,000 75 Do i Di(2-ethylhexyl) iumarate 12,000 100 Do 74.1
75.5 100 Do o 1l,000 96.7 Black beanaphid Diallyl maleate 1-500 80.2
Diisoamyl fumarate 1-500 100 i.. do 1-1,000 55:7
Di(2-ethylhexyl) iumarate 1-500 87.2 Di(?rethylhexyl) malaate 1-500 99.1 Dicapryl iumarate. 1-500 95.3 Didodecyi iumara 1-500 100 -do l1,000 67.8
Water emulsions of the insecticidal compounds were prepared using dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (140,000 dilution) as the emulsifier and wetting agent. Table 2 shows the kills obtained at a dilution of l-1000 when sprays of the emulsions were applied to active stages of the citrus red spider.

In many instances the insecticidal substance would destroy the mite and then be found substantially non-toxic to its eggs. The series of compounds of the present invention have proven to be equally effective on both the mite and its eggs. as shown by the percentage-kills given in Table 3. The compounds were applied in water emulsion sprays using dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (l-l0,000 dilution) as the emulsifying agent.
Table 3 These compounds are particularly efiective in penetrating the coverings of scale insects and hence destroy the insect more readily than substances commonly employed, such as for example mineral and vegetable oils. Table 4 shows the kills obtained on the resistant California red scale with the insecticides applied in water emulsion sprays (dioctyl sodium sulpho-succinate as the emulsifier, l-l0,000 dilution).
These compounds may also be used in conjunction with other insecticides to increase their effectiveness on insects such as mealy bugs which have considerable wax to penetrate before kill may be obtained. Table 5 shows the kills obtained when the insecticides were applied in water emulsions to mealy bugs.
