WebRTC Summit Early Bird Savings here!
There are many potential applications for WebRTC and for many interoperability is not a requirement. However, this does not mean that there is not a need for interoperability, particularly at the signaling level, for other applications.
Many people have dismissed interoperability as a consideration when using WebRTC - often due to the fact that their favoured use-cases do not require it (and in some cases are even hampered by it). In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at the other side and discuss the case for interoperability and explain how WebRTC can be used to enhance and extend existing services in a way provides benefits to service providers and their customers.
He will conclude with a look at some of the open-source options available today for building interoperable WebRTC applications.

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehe...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Philanthropy and Retirement Planning:
A Good Fit
Thoughts about retirement—when to begin, what it will look like, and how to prepare for it—are a matter of perspective. Planning for a retirement that is several years away is significantly different from living in retirement with your career years behind you.
Whatever your planning needs and current situation, there are ways to combine philanthropy with retirement planning to help you reach important goals and objectives.

Master Gardeners: Tips for growing your own garlic
Q: What can you tell me about growing my own garlic?
A:Garlic does well in Redding. Enrich the soil as you would for most vegetables, and plant the biggest (excluding elephant garlic), healthiest bulb sections you can find in early fall.
You can also plant in winter or early spring, but you may end up with smaller bulbs.
Place the bulb sections about 6 inches apart — any closer and you may get small bulbs. Keep the pointy end up and just showing above the soil's surface. Keep them watered — we can have prolonged droughts even in winter. Mulch plants with straw or compost to keep bulbs from drying out or freezing. Clip off any flowers before they open (these can be used to season stir-fry or chopped up like chives). When the tops brown, fork bulbs out of the ground (pulling may damage them) and hang them is a warm, dry place for couple of weeks or until the husks get papery. Then store them in a cool, dry place and use as needed.

Dane adds there are a few precautionary measures horse owners can take.
"If there are gates that are accessible to the road, put locks on them... Use flood lights where that's feasible...Spot checks throughout the evening," he said.
"One thing we don't recommend is locking horses in barns because if there was a fire... If there is a community of horseowners they may want to set up taking turns monitoring the area."

Mole Motel: Patience is a virtue
The restaurant at the Mole Motel is the only place to eat if you stay there. Make sure you bring plenty of patience when waiting for your food. The first night we arrived quite late, and ordered our food around 19:00. They didn't have any of the main local dishes on the menu, as they took too long to cook and would have to be pre-ordered at lunchtime. OK, that is fine. Unfortunately, it seemed like everything took too long, as it was well over an hour between ordering and getting our food.
The second day, we were wise to this, so pre-ordered our food in the morning. We ordered it for 19:00 (as suggested by the waitress), and turned up at the restaurant at 18:45 and let the staff know we were there and ready. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Michael got fed up with waiting after 45 minutes and went to bed. His soup arrived about 15 minutes after he left, but we never did see his main course. Two other dishes not belonging to us arrived, sat on the table for a while, and got taken away again to another table. The food eventually came well over an hour late. Again. By that stage I was almost past it.
Favorite Dish: The food was good though. We both had guinea fowl curry the first night, I had it with mashed yam and David with Jollof Rice. The second night I had Omo-Tuo which was a chicken ground-nut soup served with a sticky rice dish for 'dipping'. It was very tasty, very rich – a little like chicken satay. David had Palava Sauce with Chicken and boiled yam. It was quite spicy and there was enough yam to feed a small army.

You can order your drinks at the Restaurant, but if you want to save more then half of your money on drinks, you shouls go to the Rangers Canteen, opposite the starting point of the safari's. You can just take away you drinks here and drink them at the restaurants tables, as long as you bring back the empty bottles when you're finished.

Mole Motel Restaurant: Mole Motel Restaurant
The only place to eat in the park is the Motel's restaurant. It's the only one, but a good one. The meals they serve are good quality and normally cost around 40.000-50.000 cedis ($4-5 US). The choice is both Ghanaian dishes and international dishes, with the chicken khebab and the pepper steak as my personal favorites.
Do note that the breakfast is only served until 11 AM, the lunch only until 2 PM and dinner starting from 5 PM. For dinner, it's wise o order your dinner in the afternoon, at lunchtime already and make an appointment for the time you want it to be served, because service can be terribly slow.

Product description
In his new Channel 4 series TV chef Gordon Ramsay embarks on a culinary journey around India, discovering the breadth and depth of cooking of the country. His new cookbook is packed with the best recipes from his travels, showing you how to cook authentic dishes that are bursting with flavour. Three-star chef Gordon Ramsay's favourite food is one that he shares with a lot of Britain - curry. But, until now, he's never been to India see how the real thing is cooked. Accompanied by a Channel 4 film crew, Gordon takes the culinary trip of a lifetime to discover real Indian cuisine and share this collection of over 100 of his favourite Indian dishes. As you'd expect from a Michelin-starred chef, Gordon brings his eye for perfection and ability to judge flavours perfectly to his exploration of Indian food and shows us how to cook authentic, mouth-watering dishes from all over this huge and varied country. He visits Kerala deep in the South of India to bring us spicy, coconut-based curries and travels to colourful Rajasthan to learn about the creamy, flavourful dishes of the North. Along the way Gordon experiences the hugely different flavours and spices from the different regions and absorbs local cooking styles and traditions. Throughout his culinary journey, Gordon selects the best of the vast array of Indian spices, now readily available in British supermarkets. He shows us how to use these authentically to produce a beautifully flavoured Indian dish. Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape includes over 100 recipes in the following sections: Everyday, Entertaining, Quick Lunches and Healthy Dishes. Once Gordon shows you how easy it is to put together authentic Indian dishes, you'll never look back.

Jumeirah Has Lots Of New Venus In The Pipeline
It's on. In September we told you about Jumeirah's plans for a new millennial-targeted brand, Venu Hotels. The first Venu, as reported then, is still expected to be on Bluewaters Island in Dubai – and should be confirmed by the end of this year. But according to Travel Daily, Jumeirah is also looking at other sites, with a second Venu in the UAE expected to be announced within the next six months. The article reckons that it'll likely be in the Dubai Design District.
According to Travel Daily, Jumeirah also has its eye on Abu Dhabi – and, following the UAE expansion, it'll be planning some European Venus, with London, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome and Berlin on the cards.

Yep. Another New Hotel Concept Aimed At Millenials Will Debut This December, as MiniMax
Meet MiniMax, the next new hotel brand aimed at experience-driven millennials, and "big foot", which we think is a clever expression of the hotel brand's core objective of having a small ecological footprint.
Shanghai-based real estate giant, Shimao Group, has announced the launch of not one, but two, hotel concepts and guess what? They're aimed at discriminating millennials. (Is there any other kind these days?
The new brand is called MiniMax and there will be two versions under the same flag, MiniMax Hotel, the midscale concept, and MiniMax Premier Hotel, the high-end concept. The first hotel to debut will be MiniMax Hotel Shanghai Songjiang, opening this December.

AmanDayan in Lijiang, China Is Hiring, Could this Be What it Looks Like?
While Venice and Vietnam got their Aman Resort in 2013, the openings we so optimistically wrote about for China and Jordan never materialized. Another year on, and we're still waiting, but just like that we stumbled onto two things for one of them: a recruitment ad and an interior image.
This page has the ad for an Executive Assistant Manager (Rooms) at AmanDayan, the 32-suite resort on Lion Hill in the ancient city of Lijiang, in China's Yunnan province. While the ad refers to it without the capital letter, we were explicitly told at the time that AmanDayan is how it should be spelled. We're going to liberally take the closing date of mid-November as a sign that the resort is nearing completion, so perhaps we'll see an early 2015 opening?
Diving a bit further down the rabbit hole that is the internet, we came upon the above photo here, in a post now about a year old. While we'd take it with a grain of salt, the design does strike us as being very Aman, so who knows. We're hoping to get some more detail soon, so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, further east in Japan, we wouldn't hold our breath for a 2014 opening of Aman Tokyo either – expect that to be a 2015 affair too. When we have more detail, we'll be sure to let you know.

Kempinski Hotels To Open Its 'House Of The Rising Sun' On November 17th
Kempinski Hotels are now accepting reservations for their largest and their most striking hotel to date in China.
The Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing is located about an hour's drive from Beijing's city center and shares the site of a larger complex of Kempinski managed hotels overlooking the picturesque Yanqi Lake.
The design of the hotel—and this escaped even our eagle eyes—draws inspiration from the rising sun and other symbolism in Chinese culture. The architect, Shanghai Huado Architect Design Company, led a 60-day pow-wow with 60 designers from around the world, seeking a worldly perspective to come up with this unusual design, pictured above.
The 60 designers concluded that the hotel should resemble a scallop (anyone see a snail?) which is a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture. The large bull's eye in the center of the hotel's outside wall represents—we are told—the rising sun, which in turn reflects the rising Chinese economy.

Your Fairy Tale Castle Awaits In Dalian, China

This: The Castle Dalian, one of the latest additions to Starwood's Luxury Collection (or at least that's how we like to imagine the creative process went).

Starwood Hotels to Open 3 Very Important Hotels in China Next Month
Starwood Hotels & Resorts has done exactly what they said they would do in their expansion into China and the Asia Pacific. There are, and have been for quite some time, more hotels in the works than we can keep up with. Almost all Starwood brands have or will soon have an address in China, including Element Hotels, which is opening next year.
We've tried to list all that we know of that's happening with Starwood in China on our Master Openings List, but as seasoned readers of the list know, things change quite a bit and most hotels, get pushed onto the next year.
However, Starwood has three important openings in China in September, with properties that are very big on design and luxury. Here they are:

If so, we have your 2018 vacations sorted. You're going to China! Specifically, to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in Central China.
It's in Wuhan that the tallest twin towers in the world are currently under construction, and the Telegraph reports that they will house hotels, among other things. Exactly where they will sit in the 3280ft towers is unclear, but let's hope they're nice and high.

Where to Find The Next New Kempinski Hotel in 2014
Burj Rafal Hotel Kempinski Riyadh
Yet another list of hotel openings to get excited about. Today, we have a short list of Kempinski Hotels opening this year. Actually, it's kind of a long list when you look at it. Kempinski is Europe's oldest independent luxury hotel group which now operates 75 hotels in 32 countries. They'll be adding 11 new hotels across Africa, China and The Middle East (along with one serviced residences property in Switzerland) by the end of 2014. Starting with...

A Very Early Look at the Sanya and Gurgaon Edition
The London Edition is all that for many reasons, and it has us properly excited for what's to come: New York and Miami Beach are up first in the States, but after that Edition is heading for more exotic destinations – Sanya in China and Gurgaon in India. Virtually nothing is known about these hotels, but that didn't stop us from unearthing these renderings already.
The Sanya Edition (above) will open in 2015 on the Chinese island of Hainan. Referred to as China's Hawaii, nearly every luxury hotel group (from sibling Ritz-Carlton to Mandarin Oriental and Kempinski to One&Only) is rushing to claim their spot along Sanya's beaches and vie for the attention of the increasingly wealthy and wanderlust-filled Chinese tourist. The curved building looks huge (spot the tiny cars under the soaring porte cochere for a sense of scale), with some kind of lattice wood construction over the main entrance, a design reflected again it appears in the façade.

W Beijing and W Shanghai Get Hit With Major Delays
There is no stopping W Hotels: Amsterdam, Milan, even Reykjavik may get a W outpost in the next few years, and then there is the branching out into ski resorts too.
Way back in 2012, we snapped a few pictures of another newcomer: the W Beijing Chang'An, hoping it would be ready for what then seemed an eternity away – the first day of 2014. That, unfortunately, did not quite work out as planned, with the hotel now pushed back until late June. New Year's day of 2014 was going to be a double party, with the joint opening of sister property W Shanghai – The Bund, but there we're looking at June next year before we get to go inside. At least we have some glimpse of what the hotels look like for you now.

Six Senses Will Add St. Lucia, Mont Blanc, and Bhutan
Six Senses Bhutan
If you are familiar with Six Senses hotels, you're probably thinking "spa" and locations like Thailand and Vietnam. While the focus on spa and wellness isn't going anywhere, you'll likely find Six Senses closer to home in the future, with planned openings in places like the Caribbean island of St. Lucia and the French Alps near Mont Blanc.
Six Senses is also pulling an Aman, if we can say there is such a thing, in the remote kingdom of Bhutan in 2016. Its resort here will be split across five lodges in Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, Bumthang and Paro, allowing you to travel through Bhutan much like Aman Resorts' Amankora. Did we mention that there is Taiwan, China, Bali, and Tunisia too?

David Beckham To Create Dining and Retail Concepts for Las Vegas Sands...in China
David Beckham made his name as a top footballer in his younger years but now in his retirement, he's become a man of many leisurely pursuits such as underwear modeling, cologne-making and tattoo collecting. He's also dabbling in the hotel world.
Last week, the Las Vegas Sands Corp., announced that Beckham would be assisting in the development of "dining, retail and leisure concepts" at the Sands properties in Macao and Marina Bay, Singapore. Much of the press release about the partnership is a bunch of "we're so excited" type of statements yet the details are scant on what exactly Beckham will be doing.
Our guess is that someone else is going to come up with these new concepts which will obviously have a luxury element to them for which Beckham will lend his face and body. We're thinking David Beckham Steakhouse, David Beckham Watch Shop, David Beckham Cigars, David Beckham Men's Intimates, David Beckham Noodles To Go. Er, maybe not that last one.
However, given that Becks is now the global ambassador for Chinese Football, we're sure at least one of these concepts will have to do with the sport itself. All "Bend It Like Beckham" jokes aside, we're quite curious to see what they, er, he, comes up with.

Re: nVidia's 28nm Kepler expected to hit stores in late 2011?
January 9th 2012 is presumably the official launch date of the HD7950 and HD7970 high end single GPU cards, with the dual GPU version stated for march, and as for performance, it seems the single GPU versions will be in the same performance ballpark as the HD6990/GTX590 cards, wich are both Dual GPU cards as we all know....Pretty impressive.
So i'm hoping that if Kepler is really as far for as some leaks suggest, that Nvidia doesn't pull a GTX480 on us made up of a sawed off PCB and woodscrews, trying to pass it off as the real thing, as it was already pretty embarrassing the first time around as it is.
As for your dual GTX560 setup, it's also more expensive than a single HD6970 card, depends on SLI profiles, uses more power and performance scaling always varies quite a bit from game to game, just like it does with crossfire....Some games fly with it, and on some the performance increase isn't so great.
As for the 3D glasses, i'd like something that looks like the oakley glasses that have a very thin frame and wrap around lenses, so that i can use something called peripheral vision without having to move my head much when using 3 displays in surround mode....It's just a little thing that everyone enjoys since they were born, so nothing major really...

LANDOVER, MD - DECEMBER 21: (C) Bruce Allen, the new general manager of the Washington Redskins, talks on the field before the game against the New York Giants at FedEx Field on December 21, 2009 in Landover, Maryland. Allen replaces Vinny Cerrato, who resigned last week. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
On Thursday March 7, 2013, the Redskins general manager Bruce Allen attended a hearing before three judges of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board about whether the team name should be deemed a racial slur. A Native American Activist Group provided their case to prove to the board panel at the U.S. Patent Office that the team name was offensive to American Indians and is a slur that should not be trademarked. The U.S. Patent Office last granted the Redskins trademark rights back in 2003. The decision made by the U.S. Patent Office board will not be released for another few months.Overall, if this activist group wins the trial against Dan Snyder and the Redskins, the Redskins will not be allowed to trademark their team name. The impact of this does not necessarily result in a mandated name change. It does however have broad reaching impact on the marketing rights. Basically, if the activist group wins this Patent Trial, anyone can sell and recreate Redskins paraphernalia with no risk...

A very popular bar for students from nearby Ca' Foscari University, Caffè Blue has a top-shelf whiskey selection, absinthe for the adventurous, and free Internet. Sandwiches are available from noon until midnight, and there are frequent art openings and occasional live music performances. Alas, some may find the food mediocre and the ambience unimpressive.

White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez was a late scratch from Chicago's starting lineup on Sunday after he arrived late to U.S. Cellular Field. Ramirez was listed as the No. 2 hitter in the original lineup posted in the clubhouse for the game against the Kansas City Royals, but was replaced by utility player Ray Olmedo. Chicago entered the game with a two-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central. Ramirez is hitting .273 with nine homers and leads AL shortstops with 66 RBIs. The White Sox were also without Adam Dunn and Kevin Youkilis for a third straight game. Dunn is day to day with a strained right oblique, while Youkilis is expected back on Monday after returning home for the birth of his son.

"Throughout the game, they'll make adjustments," defenseman Ryan McDonagh told ESPN The Magazine. "Sometimes they'll bring everybody back and Malkin and Crosby will swing real low, so it's hard as a defenseman to try and get your gap. Other times, they try to sneak behind you and post up and spread you back that way."
The solution??
"Collectively, as a unit of five, we have to make a good read on if they're going back. Try to move everybody up a little bit, stay in their face, so they don't make the little passes in their own zone with them kind of winding it up," McDonagh said. "They have good chemistry playing together for quite some time. They realize when to slow it down, bring it back, or try and catch us sleeping with a long stretch pass."
McDonagh, who appears to be playing hurt, is correct in that the job of slowing down Crosby's line can't fall completely on the shoulders of just the defensemen. It's going to take improved play from all five skaters on the ice. That said, his coach made it clear that the Rangers expect more out of McDonagh if they want to climb back into this series.
"Ryan hasn't had, he'd be the first to say, a playoffs to his expectations and to ours," Vigneault said. "He has an opportunity [Friday] to change that. Obviously, he hasn't played very well."
The Rangers have been physical with Crosby in this series at times, with the Penguins noticing Marc Staal's crosschecks to his head. With the desperation growing, that physical play is only going to intensify. Especially in front of Lundqvist.
"You have to make that place hard to come around," Staal told ESPN The Magazine. "Make them think twice before they come near the crease. It's not going to be any free ice. Try to do as much as you can, legally. You want to get in [Crosby's] face, try to frustrate him. Try to get under his skin if you can. That's the biggest thing."
The other big thing is preventing Crosby from entering the zone with speed. That means fewer turnovers and tightening up the defense in the neutral zone. Crosby and Malkin are going to make great individual plays on their own, the Rangers can't afford to do anything to assist them moving forward.
"You have to make them get the puck out of their hands," Staal said. "You have to make [Crosby] dump it. You have to make him go get it. If you don't do that, he's going to make plays. It's two of the best players in the world on one line. When they're going, they're tough to handle."

So my baby was born at 28 weeks and is currently in the NICU. He is doing well besides the apnea (which doctors say it's normal) He weighed 2lbs 6oz at birth and is currently weighing 2lbs 10 ozs. He was just born on August 25, 2009. My husband had planned my baby shower initially for Sept 12th. It's still going to happen on that day but I can't help but feeling sad that my baby is still in the NICU. We don't know how much longer he will be there(probably close to his due date which would of been the end of October) Is it normal for me to feel sad or guilty for still going thru with the babyshower? I mean I still need the things for my baby but I just feel like I don't wanna be bothered with all of these questions and how am I doing questions as well. I just need some advice. I just need to know everything is going to be ok and I should probably just enjoy the day since I've been pretty much keeping to myself since my son has been born. I haven't been out around family or friends. I really just don't feel like I'm ready for that. Is how I'm feeling normal? Please Help Me Someone.
Guilt? Or is it just plain being Sad?
Mommy to Lesley 7yrs old and Wife to Wes 10/20/2007.......� And Mommy to Noah 28weeker. My little miracle... Love my babies

I had moments of sadness, but I would remind myself how lucky I was that aside from being small and early, my baby was healthy and would be coming home. There are so many babies out there in NICU that are sick and stuggling.. Although you didn't have the traditional home coming that most mommies and babies have, but you WILL have a happy home coming. Try to focus on how lucky you truly are. How blessed you are.
Best of luck to you.. and don't forget to celebrate your amazing blessing, your son.
2 Sons - Jacob Nolan born Fed 08 and Nathan Gehrig born Aug 2009
Congratulations on the birth of your little boy! It is completely normal for you to feel this way. It's not at all easy to have your newborn baby in the NICU and I don't think anyone can truly understand unless they have the same experience. I'm sure you will have fun at the shower once you get there. Your friends will be excited to celebrate with you, and he will be home with you very soon!
I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way. My MIL wanted to throw me a baby shower while i was in the hospital on bedrest. Then when she was born weighing only 1lb 9oz she wanted to throw me oen then. I couldn't believe it! I didnt want to see anything baby! It wasn't until about a month ago that I really felt comfortable enough to have the baby shower. I wish i would've had the baby shower a little earlier though because by the time she came home i had nothing ready. I didnt have my baby shower until 2 days after she came home. If i were you i would wait because then it wont be as depressing seeing all the baby stuff. Your baby shower should be an enjoyable experience not depressing, but everyone is different.

We kept my shower. It ended up being good to go. Fortunetly we were 1/2 way through our NICU stay and on the upswing. I took pictures. People were suppportive. It was a little odd. But they called it a welcome Matthew party. At the end if was good to get out. I went to the NICU before and after. My hosts made sure sick people knew not to come (several back in March). I would have it when YOU feel ready. And sometimes it does feel good to tell your story - get it out of yoru system. A little crying is ok too :)
Boy, 30weeks, 3/2/09, PROM (now a thriving 4 year old) ^^Girl^^ MC 1/31/2012 at 13 weeks. Baby boy, June 2013, 32 w5d
My MIL also wanted us to keep the date for the baby shower, which was about 3 weeks after she was born. It was too soon and I was still really raw emotionally. I told her no. I ended up having one when she came home, but didn't take her as it was flu season. It kinda worked out nice because I knew what I needed then. I just told a good friend that I really really wanted a baby shower and she promised I'd have one no matter what and when lol
You could also have it in another month or so when you feel more confident about how she's doing. I think it's normal to feel sad/guilt and not want to have the baby shower. I mean, is the baby shower for you, or is it about other people buying baby things and asking Qs you don't want to answer about what's going on with your LO?
Do what will keep you stable and emotionally well right now. You need to be strong for your LO. If getting out and seeing people will help, do that. if seeing all those people is just going to turn you into an emotional wreck, maybe you could hold off a little?

Rhys born 11/14/2012
Guilt and sadness is totally normal. And if this shower is friends and family, they should be able to support you and give you time to emotionally prepare. It is about being a blessing~ and it can be tough if you are not up for the fun when your mind is still at the NICU.
Share your feelings and give yourself some time to get to know your baby better. You will be more confident in a while. It is stressful, but you will get through it!
Manda + Jor-El= twins Kara & Kal-El (Nov 08), Angels 3/11 & 6/11. Baby BOY EDD 4/29/2012
I too did not have the baby shower because my sweetheart was born at 29wks. So instead of having one now while she is in NICU, my family is planning a "Welcome Party" for her when she gets home.
Ditto as Tatyana. Will have a Baby Welcome Shower in October. I think that by that time I will be able to have one and actually ENJOY it. Don't see the purpose of parties where I'd like to be about just as much as under a bus.
Your feelings are TOTALLY normal and justified. I too was sad, feeling guilty and ANGRY as well... Also depressed to the point of being suicidal. I just could not bear waking up every morning and facing the reality of my precious baby, that I have tried for so long to have, being in the NICU and fighting for his life. Why him? Why me? Needless to say, not only did I avoid seeing ANYONE (but my DH and parents), I never announced the birth of my baby. No one really knew, as I did not want to explain something I had a very hard time accepting myself... It took me quite a while to come to terms with his prematurity, and only after I came to understand that he'll be ok after all, and that there may be a bright future for him after all...
I also "trimmed" my friends. As bizarre as that sounds, it takes a tragedy to figure out who your real friends are (and to find new ones you did not know you had).
From birth I have relied on You;�You brought me forth from my mother's womb.�I will ever praise You.�Psalm 71
Congrats on the birth of your baby! My Lo was a 31 weeker and my shower was scheduled for 33 weeks. My Lo was still in the hospital. I went to the shower and okay so I didn't want to go but, I did. My family I know put a lot of money and time into it so I would have felt like I let them down. I also knew I needed the stuff and that since I had nothing ready for the baby (I had wanted to wait until after the shower...my SIL lost a baby at 23 weeks and I felt I couldn't handle it if something happened...well low and behold it did) but, I knew I couldn't get everything I wanted or needed on my own before he came home so I went. My heart wasn't into it even when I got there and I really didn't enjoy myself but, I put on a good face. Afterwards I was angry about that too...like that too was somehow taken from me.
In the end, I am glad I went even though I didn't have a good time I would have regretted not going later on more.

The Phoenix Suns were awarded the rights to Luis Scola on Sunday by submitting the highest bid for the free agent forward, according to multiple reports. Scola was waived by the Rockets on Friday via the amnesty provision, and several teams, including Dallas and Cleveland, submitted bids for Scola, according to NBA.com. The Suns had to submit a bid of at least $3.3 million per year for Scola, and commit $10 million over three years. Scola, 32, averaged 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds with Houston last season. To make room, the Suns waived Josh Childress using the amnesty provision, the Arizona Republic reported.

Careful watering is the key to helping your poinsettia thrive during the holiday season.
Note to media editors: Got gardening questions? Call the Hortline at (515) 294-3108, Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m., or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more gardening information, visit us at Yard and Garden Online, http://www.yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu
How do you select and care for a poinsettia?
Select plants with dark green foliage and brightly colored bracts. Little or no pollen should be showing on the true flowers. (The true flowers are yellow to green, button-like objects located in the center of the colorful bracts.) Avoid poinsettias with wilted foliage, few or no lower leaves or broken stems.
Before venturing outside, place the poinsettia in a plant sleeve or carefully wrap it to prevent exposure to cold temperatures. Exposure to freezing temperatures, even for a brief moment, may cause the bracts and leaves to blacken and drop. As soon as you get home, unwrap the plant and place it near a sunny window or other well-lighted area. However, don't let the plant touch the cold window pane. Also, keep the poinsettia away from cold drafts or heat outlets. Poinsettias prefer temperatures between 60 to 70 degrees F.
Water needs can be determined by the finger test. Check the potting soil daily. When the soil becomes dry to the touch, water the plant until it freely flows out the bottom of the pot. If the pot is wrapped in decorative foil, punch a hole in the foil at the bottom of the pot for water drainage and place a saucer underneath the pot. Discard the excess water which drains into the saucer.
Today, most florists use molded plastic pot covers rather than foil. When watering these plants, carefully remove the poinsettia from the pot covering, water the plant in the sink, then drop it back into the molded pot cover. Both over- and underwatering cause problems for poinsettias. The lower leaves of overwatered plants turn yellow and drop. Dry plants wilt and also drop leaves.
How can I prevent salt damage to trees, shrubs and turfgrass areas?
Deicing salts (NaCl, CaCl2, KCl, and MgCl2) can damage landscape plants when excessive amounts accumulate in the soil. The most serious damage typically occurs near major streets and highways where salt from run-off accumulates in the nearby soil. Excessive use of salt by homeowners also can create problems. Trees, shrubs, perennials and turfgrass are susceptible to salt damage. Additionally, spray from passing vehicles can damage roadside plants, particularly evergreens.
Homeowners can minimize salt damage by using deicing salts prudently. Before applying salt, wait until the precipitation has ended and remove as much of the ice and snow as possible. Mix salt with an abrasive material. Fifty pounds of sand mixed with one pound of salt works effectively. Avoid piling salt-laden snow and ice around trees and shrubs.
While the amount of salt applied to major roadways cannot be controlled, steps can be taken to minimize damage. As soon as the ground thaws in early spring, heavily water areas where salt accumulates over winter. A thorough soaking should help flush the salt from the root zone of area plants. If possible, alter the drainage pattern so winter run-off drains away from ornamental plants. When planting trees near major streets or highways, select salt tolerant tree species.
How can I prevent my arborvitaes from flopping over during heavy snows?
Multi-stemmed evergreens, such as arborvitae, can droop badly due to heavy accumulations of snow or ice. Susceptible evergreens can be protected by tying the stems together with twine, rope or strips of panty hose in fall. Carefully brush off heavy accumulations of wet snow by hand or with a broom. If ice accumulates on plants, prop up the branches to avoid breakage. Don't try breaking off the ice. Frozen limbs and foliage are extremely brittle and attempting to remove the ice may cause greater damage. Promptly remove the rope or twine in spring.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 1/15/13
For the second year in a row, the Cleveland Browns led the AFC North in dropped passes, allowing 27 catchable passes to hit the ground. The silver lining: According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Browns were the only team in the division whose drops decreased from the previous season with the team dropping 33 balls in 2011. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green led all players in the division with nine dropped passes on 158 targets. Greg Little led the Browns with seven drops on just 85 targeted passes, the majority of which came within the first six weeks of the season, drawing the ire of many including former Browns coach Sam Rutigliano. Little, who led the AFC North with 11 dropped passes in 2011, was second in the division this year behind Green. The other players in the Browns with at least four drops were wide receiver Josh Gordon (five) and fullback Owen Marecic (four). Marecic was made inactive for the majority of the second half of the 2012 season as the team opted to use tight end Alex Smith and H-back Brad Smelley in his place.

100 Programs the Republican Study Committee Wants to Abolish or Cut
2:43 PM, Jan 20, 2011 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
As noted below, roughly $2.3 trillion of the $2.5 trillion in savings from the Republican Study Committee's Spending Reduction Act would come from cutting non-defense discretionary spending to 2006 and freezing that spending through 2021.
Where does the rest of the money come from? The RSC wants to cut remaining stimulus funds, eliminate federal control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and eliminate automatic pay increases for federal employees for five years and reduce the federal workforce by 15 percent through attrition. The RSC has also proposed eliminating or cutting back more than 100 programs. Here's the list:

In this page you will find non-academic information about me, in the form of F.A.Q.
Which sports do you like?
I love water sports. Ever since a child I sail (mainly Dinghy Sailing): Skiffs are those I enjoy the most, but also catamarans can be really funny! I also practiced waterpolo, triathlon, swimming, wind-surfing (occasionally).
The sport I devoted most time/effort to is rowing. I competed for 4 clubs: Caprera and Cerea, in Turin (Italy); AUNL, in Lyon (France); AT, in Toulouse (France).
Since 2008 I'm not practicing any sport on a regular basis. Occasionally I swim, run & play football (despite my Italian citizenship, I'm very bad at it!).
I don't really like watching sports, exception made for waterpolo, rugby & volleyball.
Which are your favourite books/films/music?
I'm not picky, but usually what I love the most are books and films that... when you start you cannot stop until it's over...and also those that make you think about some philosophical aspects of life. I loved reading (in alphabetic order) Aristotle, Brown, Bulgakov, Hornby, Larsson, Murakami, Pirandello, Poe, Saramago, Svevo, Tolkien, Voltaire... and watching films like A clockwork orange, The usual suspects, Seven...
I can enjoy all kinds of music, spanning from classic to contemporary commercial music. What I usually enjoy the most is something in between acoustic rock, indie and light metal. Among the concerts I've enjoyed the most... Arctic Monkeys
Bon Jovi
, Dolly (France)
, Franz Ferdinand,
Guns 'n Roses,
Ligabue (Italy),
Litfiba (Italy),
Louise Attaque (France),
Mr. Big
Skunk Anansie, The
Subsonica (Italy), White Stripes.
You like travelling...where have you been?
I mainly travelled through Europe. I've been travelling through Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark (only Copenhagen), England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, Russia (only Moscow), San Marino, Slovenia, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey (only Istanbul) and the Vatican.
Outside Europe, I've been to Colombia, Kenia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and the U.S.A.
Why the hell are you studying Dutch???
Let's say it's a tribute to my Flemish and Dutch friends!
I am thankful to architect Claudia Piolatto (

Would you develop your own unique attractions that are not in any other Disney park? If so, what would the attraction be about? What characters would be involved? What theme park would it be located in and where in the theme park would it fit?
What current changes in the parks would you make and what kind of technological upgrades would you create? What would make this technological upgrades special?
I hope you do not mind me asking, I just want to know what goes on in the minds of future imagineers these days.
I personally am into animation and If I were an imagineer today I would brink the Main Street Electrical Parade back to Disneyland, but there would be many upgrades.
1) The stores on Main Street would magically disappear and be replaced with digital scenic projections of backgrounds from some of our favorite Disney films that represnet each float as it passes.
2) I would also make Pete's Dragon, Elliot, look more realisitic and he will keep dis-appearing an re-appearing while he holds Pete above his shoulders and parades down Main Street. Then I would install chips in the ground that would make the ground vibrate every time Elliot stomps on it.
So future imagineers what are your ideas? go ahead and give us a piece of your imagination
