Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Pro stylus for iPad review
The Ten One Design Pogo SketchPro stylus is a fantastic all-around style, with all around best in-class performance
Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Pro, part of the Pogo Sketch line up of stylus pens, is one of the best we've had the pleasure use with the iPad. It's not as cheap or as specialized as some of the competition, however, so does the quality make up for it?
Unlike some other iPad stylus pens, the Pogo Sketch Pro doesn't look like a traditional pen. It's longer and far more tapered than most. It's got a solid aluminum unibody and an excellent ergonomic grip. This puts the weighting far more forward than most other stylus pens, and that's a good thing. It lets the weight of the tool do a lot of the work for you.
The tip is special designed and patent pending. While it's a soft Ten One claims this makes the Sketch Pro effective at every angle, and the "most sensitive on the market". Our tests showed the Pogo Sketch Pro had excellent capacitance, and all-around the best we've tried to date. To achieve this level of performance, the tip has holes in it. That does raise some concerns over wear and tear, but you can buy replacement tips from Pogo. Unlike some of the other soft tip stylus pens we tested, the Pogo Pro tip doesn't have a lot of give, so you don't have to push as hard before you get solid feedback.
The Pogo Sketch Pro is available in any color you want, provided that color is black and silver. This matches a lot of the Apple aesthetic, especially if you have a black iPhone or iPad, but it's limited compared to other pro-level stylus pens.
For note-taking, the Pogo Sketch Pro is very good. We had no problem writing long form notes. If you're used to a more standard pen shape, you might not like the Pogo Sketch Pro feel as much, but the results are top notch. For art tasks, it's okay. It's not as good as a hard-tipped stylus for line work, or a softer tip for brush work, but the sensitivity makes it good enough for both. For gaming it's great, and the accuracy really pays off. Out of all the pro stylus pens we tried, the Pogo Sketch Pro is our favorite for gaming.
The good
- Excellent sensitivity
- Good ergonomics
- Great gaming stylus
- Replaceable tips
The bad
- Okay but not excellent for art
The bottom line
The Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Pro stylus is simply one of the best iPad stylus pens on the market. While it doesn't feel like a traditional pen the way the SGP Kuel H12, its long, tapered design is really comfortable. We absolutely love it for gaming, and it holds their own in note-taking. For art it's more than serviceable, but for dedicated line work you're still better off with the Adonit Jot Pro. For general use, however, the Pogo Sketch Pro is absolutely one of the best in class.

Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Pro stylus for iPad review
Since the iPhone and iPad are fixed variables, the variance in capacitive transfer between stylus and display is best ascribed to the stylus, not the iPhone or iPad. If a piece of stone creates no capacitive connection, it's not very "sensitive". If a finger creates a good one, then it's sensitive.
The material used for the stylus, and apparently the way it's used, can result in varying degrees of capacitive registration, from nothing to excellent. The less "sensitive" the more precise the angle, the greater the pressure, etc. might be needed.
Feel free to switch "sensitive" for "works better" if it makes you feel better.
...who had the brilliant idea of having bling bling fingernails for this kind of macro presentation?...
Yes there is, try the jot pro. It has a harder tip and is extremely precise, although I like the feel of the pogo better :-)
Funny shape, but it seems to work like you state. I really like the H12 for notes, and the Jot Flip for fine work. The ZooGue is really a nice Cross style pen. The Stylus is ok, but not as good as others. Are you all going to test the aPen type stylus, where you use a receiver, and the pen is battery power?
Your nails are beautiful Georgia! I'd so much rather see a nice manicure (regardless of the color) than someones ratty ol' coal miner hands... I'm sure we've all seen reviews like that on one site or another. Kudos to you for being you. :)
Damn. Good review but I had my mind made up to get the Jot pro, now I think I want this Pogo. I just know I'm going to end up with a drawer full of these things. I guess that's okay.
re the nails, you look fabulous, darling. re Rene looking like he just got out of bed, he always looks like that because he sits in front of his screen blogging all day, or he just got out of bed.
I actually disagree that the pogo is just okay for art. I've found it to be the best for me in painting because the design has a similar feel to an actual brush, and its one of the more accurate styli so I can sketch with it as well and do not have to purchase more than one stylus. Works for me!

iPhone Dev Team Releases iPhone 1.1.1 Jailbreak, But Not for Bricks
Hey, want to void your warranty and turn your iPhone into an expensive paperweight with future firmware updates? If so, iPhone Dev Team has a hack for you. They've successfully managed to jailbreak factory fresh iPhones running firmware 1.1.1, enabling support for black market third party applications, and utilize non-AT&T SIM cards to roll your own network. However, no workaround solution has been found for previously unlocked, now bricked, iPhones updated to 1.1.1.
Yes, yes, it all sounds well and good, but given the fact iPhone Dev Team has yet to undo the catastrophic damage created by anySIM with Apple's new firmware, why would anyone place their trust in this process again? Trust me folks, if you value your iPhone, stay far away from Jailbreak or unlock software, in any form. You are playing with fire. These half-assed hacks are little more than Molotov cocktails ready to blow up in your face and brick your iPhone. But don't take my word for it. Just ask my previous iPhone, now serving as doorstop and makeshift kitchen utensil.

iPhone Dev Team Releases iPhone 1.1.1 Jailbreak, But Not for Bricks
hack it - hack it --- once you hack it you'll never go back to the dull apple jailed iphone again - hack it!
"once you hack it you'll never go back to the dull apple jailed iphone"
Actually that's exactly what I did... I hacked the piss out of my 1.0.2 iphone, and when 1.1.1 came out I did a full restore and updated. I can't honestly say I miss the hacks in the slightest. I'm a casual user, and outside the cosmetic benefits (themes, moving icons around etc.) I found most of the vaunted 3rd party apps to be mediocre, buggy and unreliable. Certainly none of them came even close to adding genuine functionality to the phone IMO.
Then again, like I said, I'm a casual user. I don't even know what SSH means, but I'm sure if I did then I'd be missing apptapp something awful... right?
Technically, you're iPhone is a brick now, not because you hacked it, but because you unlocked it using anySIM. I hacked the hell out of my iPhone, sans unlocking and if I were put it back in jail and restore it using firmware 1.02, it would put it back to the way it was when I bought it. I could then update to 1.1.1 without any altercations.
You just happened to be impatient, like so many out there, and updated the second you saw an update was available despite being warned all over the place since firmware 1.01 was released weeks and weeks ago.
I understand your frustration, and perhaps hacking is playing with fire, but you can play with fire and not be burned if you're cautious.
That said, hack away! There ARE many opensource apps out there that I can't do without on my iPhone now. Fucking greedy Apple corporate strategies to milk consumers for every cent.
Apple's is more like that proverbial fire you spoke of than hacking is. Play with Apple and you could get burned. Then they become the abusive other you keep going back to despite the black eye and bruises.
How to fill a lawsuit against Apple? Please help!
I read from other sources that the new hack will fix bricked phones. Since your phone is bricked, try it out and let us know. It should be around $60.
Hey man, I played with fire and it wasn't so bad.
I understand you were a bit... lets say inpatient. My rules for those updates is let the hackers try it out first, if they say good... then go ahead.
still got installer and no i didn't unlock my iPhone with anySIM cuz that sucks. I did it with SSH
wohh, i will try this app for my new iphone:http://blogdolci.com/2007/10/13/iphone-reportage-fotografico-e-utilizzo/

The Tsar Cannon was cast in bronze in 1586 and weighs 40 tons. Its 35-inch bore and could fire about 1800 pounds of stone grapeshot, earning it the nickname the Russian Shotgun. It was never fired in anger and seems to have been intended mainly for display. Regent Boris Godunov, who ruled Russia in the late 1580s and 90s, described it as a way of overawing the local population and terrifying visiting ambassadors.
Napoleon wanted to take the Tsar Cannon back to France when he captured Moscow in 1812, but left without it. The big gun is now a popular tourist attraction outside the Kremlin arsenal.
In 1936, Adolph Hitler asked artillery-maker Gustav Krupp whether he could build an artillery piece to defeat the new French Maginot Line. Krupp's suggestion: a giant cannon with an 80-cm (31-inch) caliber. Hitler ordered two.
Named Gustav and Dora, after Krupp and his wife, each 1350-ton cannon required its own train to move it and took three days to assemble. They could fire concrete-piercing shells weighing seven tons—as much as a bus—over 25 miles. The huge cannons arrived too late for the war against France, but Gustav devastated Sevastopol in the then-USSR during the siege, firing up to 14 rounds a day. Both guns were broken up at the end of WWII.

Wish I had something positive to say =(
If you are not familiar with head and torso controls this will make you cry.It does take alot of key work to work a mech. Not like Hawken where the mech moves the way you are facing. The head of these mechs face the way you are facing but the legs just keep on going in the direction you set them to.
Anyone can get used to these controls. Just dont get frusterated first day out.

Its a fun game..
My only gripe is that the "trial" mechs are un modable and in order to even sniff your first real mech you have to shell out some cash or play quite a few matches which then will still only put you in a light mech..
Also, the faction stuff is needed.. I know its on the way and hopefully they do it just like I remember it back in my days in Battletech Online: Solaris..
The action is very intense and its very strategic too, the options you have for eliminating mechs and winning the battle are many.. Graphics are great, all the weapon systems are there though I feel like ballistic weapons need a slight boost (missiles are somewhat okay but cannons are useless, even on the soft critical areas like open missile bays)..
PPC is still as deadly as I remember.. Still very skill based, especially to hit light mechs..
Overall, the game is a very high quality F2P game..

The game is a blast. There is no tutorial at the moment but they are constantly adding new features. I am not sure when this is going live but to me I hope they wait a while till they have a few more mechs and some more maps at the very least. I belieive i read something on one of the dev posts about a tutorial being added but cannot remember when. I havent spent a dime on the game yet and have all of my mech bays full of mechs. C-bills are easy to get took about a week and I have 3 catapults and an Awesome. I might spend some real cash to get more bays. I wouldnt feel bad about spending the money one its going to help fund the game that I do enjoy playing and 2 I need more mechs so I will need more places for them to go.

I am not sure what pilot skills you are referring to outside of modules which just got released. GXP seems to go a little faster than 5 points per battle. I have probably played about 100 battles and have just over 3k GXP. In addition it only costs a couple bucks to transfer thousands of mech xps to GXP.
Last all pilot unlocks are done with mech xps. General xps can also be used in addition but there are no mech unlocks that require GXPs. The modules can be used on any mech and are not mech dependent.
The elite and ultra elite unlocks require an individual to use multple variants of the same mech in order to unlock. None of the pilot skills make a significant difference in the outcome of a fight. Pilot skill is still the overiding factor.
All new players start with 4 trial mechs which require no maintanence or upkeep. They are good variants and can still beat a custom variant if the pilot is skilled. Even specialised builds such as the Gauss a pult as its referred to can be taken down by a skilled pilot. It has its plusses and minuses.
The game is currently difficult to figure out without a tutorial. It took me about 10 matches to get the hang of the basic controls. The great thing is you start off with trial mechs and you make the same amount of ingame money win or lose - so outside of personal pride and epeeness there is no significance to how well or poorly you play in the current death matches with trial mechs. So if your new to the concept just jump in - do your best to pilot the mech - read some of the newbie manuals that are all over the site and take your time. If you stick around your starting base and just practice stuff you will have 3 to 5 minutes before the enemy mechs pressure you with a few exceptions.
For a newbie there are only a couple things to learn - The first - Weapon fire vrs heat generation. Almost every weapon generates heat. You have heat sinks which dissipate heat. If you fire too many weapons too quickly the heat generated will be more than the heat dissipated and you will end up overheating. The way to overcome this is set weapon groups so that you only fire a few weapons at a time. Generally you put short range weapons together and long range weapons together etc.
Once you master firing weapons without overheating the other thing to master is moving around. You can move your torso(view and weapon direction) indenpendantly from the direction your mech is moving. This takes practice to get used to. At first just take the mech at slow speeds, maneuver and shoot at things(but not your teamates).
Then last there are all of the little things that add up like cover, weapon locks, sighting etc that can have an impact on how well you do. Once you are firing your mech and moving your mech you can ask questions and read the forums to figure out the rest of the stuff.

Only the tech aspect was being tested so far it seems, which is fair because the fighting is the main element of this game. The politics and salvage side of things are easy to implement in comparison.
if NDA has been lifted...
Terrible game only for hardcore mechwarrior fans who play in premade groups with teamspeak. go try it for 3 days and you will understand just how bad this game is its complete garbage and is no place for casual players, join game & under 5 minutes your whole team is dead all day everyday, no balance nothing, piss poor boring gameplay, pathetic excuse for mechs that aircraft and armored vehicles with the same tech would whoop these trash junk heaps, i mean comon these mechs feel obsolete! If you are really into trying to find a mech game just wait for hawken and exteel 2 which is under development atm. But all in all STAY AWAY FROM THIS RUBBISH GAME
and mmorpg mods if you consider this trolling i give up...taking anything negative as trolling and ban the user its real fair...i consider this voicing my opinion please take it as such...but if you still consider this an offense then plz tell me and i will never post another opinion on this site at all.

Not all futures are the same people need to get that in their heads.
Also the game is still being developed a lot of the features aren't even in yet. The engine is going to be changed next week for example.
-faith chooses no man
As for your futures comment, problem with this one's future setting is if you apply the same tech and wepons wasted on the mechs of this game....regular things like aircraft and armored vehicles outperform a thousand times better making these mechs obsolete...unlike mechs from say armored core for answer or even the latest hawken (AC making the regualr stuff near obsolete and hawken holding its own vs them)

Hawken will crush mwo unfortunately. Mwo combat is just plain boring...it's sold as "strategic" but it really isn't. It's just a lot slower. Mwo really needs something like wvw to keep it interesting cuz right now it's just lobby based death match with customization options.

I will say this, MWO is a breath of fresh air in terms of Group vs Group, its an old game brought back and brings the fun back and gives oldschool Mechwarrior fans something to play without dealing with a DRM bug (CRYSIS!!!!) and of course playing old games that just cant handle the new systems at times (MekTek, god i love you guys for your classics)
There are plenty of games out there that will make you think MWO is just a copy, but the thing is... its not just a run and gun, mechwarrior is the closest thing youll get to a MECH SIMULATOR short of getting a retro xbox and putting out 400$ for the old Steel Bat games.
Mechwarrior Online is still in Beta yes, but it puts World of Tanks to Shame!

Just because you can "play test" it doesn't mean it is ready for release. That's why factions are not even in yet.

closed beta was awesome. tried some different variants and builds. had alot of fun. can't wait for the release :D
too bad they nerfed uac5s to hell with more jamming than a mideval weapon...seems gauss-paults are one of the better ways to go(altho low ammo) which makes me sad T_T anyway im playing other things since i could not stick with it as i said before

This is a true Mech "SIM" game straight up. It is not a twitch based FPS like "Hawken" and if you prefer that then go play Hawken it is a good game in its own right but it is a true FPS not a SIM.

Game is great fun for jumping on an having a few matches if you know what i mean... I guess like any other game of its type.
I do like Mechwarrior games and have been testing this for most of the year now and still enjoy playing it. :)
Its not really an MMO, if they do manage to bring in the faction warfare then i guess it would be more of an MMO then but at the moment its just a lobby game. Not a bad thing at all but will be a lot better with the faction stuff :)

Yes they have fixed and tweaked and improved things slowly and the game is definatly getting better as things move forward. but it is no where near or even close to TT rules at this point....

it is closer then most other Mechgames have been. Ofc some things have to be changed like how weapons can fire faster then once every 10 second and how we now actually can aim where the shots go. The heat is a proxy system to replace the 10 secodn rule (have you ever tried only using your weapons ever 10 sec... it makes heat very managable) anf the doubble armor is to counter the fact that you can place aimed shots (just imagine a laser boat ripping in to you if you only had TT armor values).
As for the boating and stuff.. it all comes down to what type of league or game you played back in the TT days.. Some were very strict and others let players run with what the rules gave you.
And as someone said the problem with a gausscat is not how to fit a gauss in the MG slot.. but ratehe that you can not see them on the outside (as they would be mounted in two pods on each side of the cat´s torso, it would not make them any easier to destroy though. My guess is that the only reason nobody did it in the "canon" lore is because it is not cost effcient from a "real world" pov as it would have a very limited range)
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

The Casey Community Center has a new roof.
The roof is beige and weatherproof. A crew of five NTEC Systems employees from Georgia carried out the work continuing into their third week this week, climbing on ladders, lifting 600-pound paint barrels onto the back of a specially-equipped pickup truck, and hooking up airlift spray nozzles that look like fuel pumps with longer necks to stream paint from the barrels to the rooftop.
The extreme summer rains this year caused the Casey Center to cancel a number of gymnastics practices due to severe leaks.
The roof of the building that has stood off Old Moncks Corner Road since 1978 was repaired 10 years ago.
This new roof is set to last at least two years.
In October Goose Creek City Council passed a second reading of its hospitality tax, which is set to raise funds to build a second community center that will house gymnastics and related activities.
The roof repair cost in 2003 was $40,000. The roof repair cost this year was $53,000.

I guess. I'm not a newspaper junky but some are. Apple is cornering the market of media and becoming a monopoly.
Apple prepping subscription plan for newspapers?
Apple may be preparing a subscription plan for newspapers says the Mercury News. When iBooks was announced alongside iPad, but no similar offering for magazines and newspapers, it was curious. When friction resulted from magazines trying to roll their own subscriptions, it was noteworthy. Now, however, a solution might just be in place:
What makes this so much more complicated than apps or books is that newspaper and magazines aren't just after subscriber money, they want subscriber data. Their business is as much about who subscribes as how much. Apple is much the same, which is why they often talk about how many credit cards they have on file for iTunes accounts. There's gold in that data, in being able to segment and slice and dice it, aggregate and market on it. Media doesn't want to lose their subscribers to Apple and Apple doesn't want to lose their buyers to media. So how will they resolve this?
The Cupertino company has agreed to provide an opt-in function for subscribers to allow Apple to share with publishers their information, which includes vital data that news organizations use to attract advertisers, industry sources say.
It's not a done deal and it could get ugly. It's not how media is used to doing business, but then again this is a brave new world of online, app-centric business. Ironically, iTunes rise has disintermediated the traditional media middlemen, yet it's introducing Apple itself as a new, digital middleman.
That's it's opt-in for subscribers is good. Typically when you subscribe to a print edition, you're automatically opted-in.
What would you prefer, dozens of independent media apps with different accounts and methods of handling subscriptions, like the current print model, or a single solution tied to iTunes to handle all the digital media you want?

Apple prepping subscription plan for newspapers?
The National Bank of iTunes.
I used to subscribe to 4 daily newspapers including Sunday Editions for a cost of over 100 dollars month. Ive cancelled them all and use the PressReader app and get them all plus as many daily papers across the country and the world that I want for less than 30 dollars a month! I would hate to see that go away now. Even the only-30 newspapers a month sub for 9.99 is a great bargain.
I would MUCH rather have all of my subscriptions (newspapers AND magazines) consolidated into one app (like, say, I don't know... THE iBooks APP!) I've been asking this question from day one of the iBooks intro: WHAT ABOUT MY MAGAZINES?! I know there are apps like Zinio out there, but I feel that iBooks could do a hell of a lot better with presentation and accessibility. I'm glad that it's on the table now (or at least semi-publicly). Hopefully I can read my Road&Track and Seattle Times through iBooks fairly soon!
Please add magazines to iBooks my goodness lol
Either iMagazine or iBooks sounds just fine. However, w/folders, it's really not that big of a deal to me if they use apps, like Mac|Life. I have a feeling that some publishers might stick with the app for more control, but it seems that Apple could do a better job w/it for the most part. However, the most important concern for me is college student pricing. Considering I can still go get the print subscription for most magazines a lot cheaper than through iPad, it's not very compelling. I get that it costs more to make a digital magazine w/layout, but seriously? Look at the Wired app. I can go subscribe to that magazine for a year for $10 or by issues in the iPad at several bucks a pop. Just my $.02.
Actually i do prefer dozens of independent media apps with different accounts and methods of handling subscriptions. iTunes does not have the selection or availability of media, at least not books and movies, to run everything through them.
Subscriptions would be nice, newspapers, I don't see me subscribing to multiple newspapers, magazine would be nicer. I would actually pay a bit more to get all of my magazines via digital PDF but not if that means DRM'ing them to death. I can easily just download the pdf files elsewhere on the interwebs but I would like a nice simple and clean process.
That is IF Apple is capable of doing that.

Comparing and researching Infant Car Seats is a time consuming process, however it is necessary. The car seat you select will be one of the most important purchases you make, as your child's safety depends upon it. While there are many factors to consider, the points below will hopefully give you a little guidance for the shopping process. Remember to always check the most current safety ratings issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration each year to ensure your infant car seat is up to date and in line with all current safety standards.
Many first time parents set out to find the best car seat on the market, regardless of price or style. They want what is safest for their child, and rightfully so. However Infant Car Seats are more complex than that, and each family will have different preferences and demands. Instead of searching for the best all around, begin hunting for the best car seat for your specific needs.
Overall, the best way to determine a quality car seat is to purchase one that is ideal for your baby's height and weight. No matter the size of your child, all children under the age of one are required by law to be in an infant car seat that is rear-facing. Most baby-geared seats are able to flip around to meet this standard, but a few aren't able to - so keep eyes out when shopping! When you combine a rear-facing seat with a model compatible with your child's size, you can rest assured you have already won half the car seat shopping battle.
There are various infant only car seats for sale, and many parents opt to purchase these even though they will need to buy a second one as baby grows. Most parents appreciate the extra safety assurance of a car seat specifically catered toward infants, and there is certainly no harm in this. Infant Car Seats of this nature can only be installed in the rear-facing position, and are smaller in size to contour specifically to a newborn's body. Most infants are able to use these seats for a year, or up to 22 pounds. A few designs extend beyond this. They also often feature extra harness slots to grow along with your baby, providing you with convenience and additional versatility.
If you choose to purchase an infant car seat, try to find one that includes a special handle so you can transport baby from car to destination without disturbing ride-induced slumber. This will allow baby to nap on the go, giving you a break and granting them their beauty rest.
The Britax Companion Infant Car Seat is an excellent first choice in car seat shopping. Parents love its padded interior that snuggles baby, as well as its five-point harness safety system. If its bright color doesn't mesh with your simplistic nature, check out the Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat with rustic color schemes such as Adventure and Atmosphere. Despite these outdoorsy names, the Chicco model is actually the ultimate in comfort with fine Italian fabrics and extra padding to hold baby comfortably up to 30 pounds.
Infant car seats are now better than ever in both safety and design, so set your mind at ease prior to the big shopping trip. If you still have questions, feel free to ask a sales representative at your local baby furniture store, who should be trained in all things car seat related.

I don't think one month old babies can learn bad habits like that, so I wouldn't worry about that. I know it is stressful and upsetting for the parents, but this phase shall pass. I have twins, and one of them screamed almost around the clock when he was that age. Crying is the only way they have to communicate, and they dont always know what they are communicating. Cold, hot, uncomfortable, hungry, tired, lonely, bored, overstimulated - everything comes out as a scream! if you are able, i really got a lot of mileage out of the moby wrap during this phase. We still use the wipes warmer, simply because we found that it was awfully convenient with the cloth wipes. Good luck.
thanks for the responses pokeyAC and mrsandmrs...
pokey--our house is totally chilly sometimes, and it also fluctuates in temperature because we have baseboard heaters and don't have a thermostat. i like the idea of using a hot water bottle, but there is no way i'd want to add that extra step to every diaper change--especially because we don't have a water source upstairs. we started putting the wool blanket i knit for the baby on her during her diaper changes (and also tilted the surface where we've been changing her since she seems to dislike being horizontal) and it has made a huge difference. the only times she has screamed since we made the change were during times when she was super hungry but needed to be changed before eating. otherwise, the set-up is a bit awkward, and makes it like changing diapers under a tent...but totally, totally worth it.
mrsandmrs--i partly agree about little babies not being able to learn bad habits (and certainly believe that babies' wants and needs are fully aligned at this point), but i also wonder about reverting to particular modes of reaction as they happen over and over. one of my midwives talked to my dp and me about the way babies often go back to their birth experience, and particularly talked about birth trauma since we had an emergency c-section. sometimes it feels like she goes really quickly into the specific scream/cry i first heard her make in the operating room, and i wonder if she would make that same cry as often, or as quickly, if she had been born at home and hadn't had such a dramatic introduction to the world. it feels like one of the hardest things to determine which baby behaviors are purely developmental and will pass, and which are important to actively address and tweak for everyone's sanity. and, i just borrowed a moby wrap from a friend to test out with the baby. why was it so helpful for you? because it's a good place to calm an unhappy baby? so far i haven't gotten comfortable enough with positioning her in either my sling or the moby to have both hands free.
Anyone have any advice for a big bed transition? We're going to give DD a toddler bed for her birthday--not, sadly, because she gets out of her crib. She doesn't. But we don't want it to feel like we're stealing her bed to give to a brother, so the birthday seems like an opportunity to sneak it past her. I'm making her a new quilt, and we've been reading a book about baby animals that outgrow their nests and need a bigger sleeping space. Any other suggestions?
She's here!
And so are the boys!
b&c i'm glad the diaper changes are going more smoothly. i found the moby wrap to be helpful because it seemed to combine the calming affects of being held/near the heart and the security of the swaddle. i would pop in the screaming baby and he would settle within a few seconds or minutes, and then i could go about my day or tend to the other baby's needs, the dishes, the chickens, the coffee, whatever. if you feel like you can't go "hands free" with the moby, it's likely that you need to tie it tighter. i struggled with that in the beginning. a stretchy wrap by nature stretches as you use it, so it needs to be quite tight whenever you put the baby in. there are some good youtube videos the helped me a lot. maybe it's the twins thing, or maybe just my style, but baby wearing has been invaluable for me. i would not have survived the "fourth trimester" without it. and now i can't stop! i spent this weekend wearing between 15 and 30 lbs of baby the entire time.
I wish I could be here more but I am working a ton. We have a Manny that stays at home with our son during the week. I am definitely scheming about working less, won't take much I just have to say no to jobs that come my way!
TTC#1 since Sept, 2009; in w DP, + two young dogs. Started adoption process May 2011. Baby boy born on June 18, 2013 and placed with us.
Birth memories, I don't know. My one who cried the most had the fastest and easiest (from my perspective) labor. The one who cried the most is also the only girl. She had some dietary stuff, but mostly I figure she was just the most expressive. It's been my experience that girls are expressive from birth. My boys are differently expressive. Than her and Han each other. She just get special marks for being the most. Of course, she grew out of big crying by a few months. Maybe you've moved out of it already, too.
Max, 9-12 month is one of the cutest ages! Jeeze! Good luck with getting home more.
Seraf--nope, but the day is nigh! Last night she did her first jump from the crib. Not hurt, but lots of crying. We should be getting it this weekend at her family birthday party. We're big wimps about falling, so she hasn't really done it much yet. We don't really let her climb on much, so it's been rare to have her dive off of things. I set up her sleeping bunny alarm clock this morning, so we'll see how that goes, and am planning to toddler-proof her room tonight (it's mostly done, but there are some random things in there that I wouldn't want her destroying in the middle of the night).
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Hi prettyisa! I believe you said on the other thread that the boys are in good positions for vaginal birth. I hope they stay in those good positions so you can do that. Jumping from the crib sounds a little scary. I have memories of jumping out of my crib as a baby. Not sure if they are real or dreams but it's a long way when you are so small.

Hi I'm owl. My partner and I have 3 children on earth and one baby girl angel (whooping cough at 18 months). All from previous hetero relationships. I carried all but our angel baby. My fiancee doesn't want to carry any more. We do plan on one or two more but are waiting for Dear fiancees baby brother to turn 18 so he can be the sperm donor. (3 more years) Our children two girls 9 and 8 and a boy 6. Our angel would have been 7.
We live in Florida but are saving our money to move to Portland, OR.
We're having a commitment ceremony 9-26-15 and will fly to Washington state to make it all legal after. (I've got family there, DF has many friends.)
Owl--welcome! Nice to have new folks around here! Where in FL are you? My wife is from Naples, and we talk about moving there sometime in the future, various things depending.
She's here!
And so are the boys!

@pokeyAC and @seraf thanks. Looking forward to being part of the group
I'm brand new to this site. Although not a mother yet, God willing in the next year, my wife and I have been having more specific conversations lately. One of which has been on homeschooling. After much search (via google) I'm beyond happy to have stumbled upon this page! I look forward to learning more as well as having support for when the time does come.
: ) Reina
[@pokeyAC: My wife & I filed jointly as well this year. Our amazing tax guy informed us that we can get retro for all of the years we've been (legally) married. So you might want to look into that. As it is from previous years I don't think there's a deadline to file. I do know you can't file online. But it's definitely worth it. Good luck!]
We went to an accountant this year and he is going to look at our returns from the last few years to see if we can file amended returns. We may not be because I got big returns because if my deductions for the medical bills from getting pregnant. Sperm and all the other stuff is tax deductible!

Seraf--sleep is rough again. She still doesn't get out of bed, but she'll lie there calling for us for almost an hour after bedtime. Not usually crying so much as a constant refrain of 'mama! mama! I have an owie! An OWIE! MAMA! I need MEDICINE! twinkle twinkle little...MAMA!' and so on. We're trying to break the habit of going in there to talk to her since it doesn't make her any more calm and just seems to draw it out longer, but it's hard to ignore!
She's here!
And so are the boys!
All is well here. C is going to be 1 in 27 days. I cannot believe it! He is very close to walking too. My FIL is coming to visit for his birthday and that will be lovely. We're going to have a party in a park with our friends and C's baby friends. He had his first ear infection and he is getting his molars. Those things combined with learning to walk make him rather crabby sometimes, but he is also getting more cuddly so that makes up for it, mostly.
isa-C also loves to play in the sand and he loves being outdoors. We have some veggies growing and I'm sure he will want to check them out. We are going to get him a little pool for the patio. I'm sorry sleep is rough. I hope she figures it out soon. She's knows you are there for her no matter what. I hope you are feeling well too.

Google revealed an important secret: the revenue shares for two AdSense services. Until now, publishers didn't know the percentage of the revenue that is paid by Google.
"AdSense for content publishers, who make up the vast majority of our AdSense publishers, earn a 68% revenue share worldwide. This means we pay 68% of the revenue that we collect from advertisers for AdSense for content ads that appear on your sites. (...) We pay our AdSense for search partners a 51% revenue share, worldwide, for the search ads that appear through their implementations."
It's interesting to note that the revenue share for AdSense for content has never changed since the service was launched, back in 2003.
Sevices like Google Search, AdWords and AdSense are usually treated as black boxes, since Google rarely reveals specific information about its algorithms.
Google AdSense's help center still says that "each AdSense publisher receives a percentage of the cost an advertiser pays for user clicks or impressions on their ad. This percentage is referred to as the revenue share. Google does not disclose the revenue share for AdSense."
Google's financial results for the first quarter of this year, show that only 30% of Google's total revenue is from partner sites and the traffic acquisition cost (TAC) is 26% of the revenue. "The majority of TAC is related to amounts ultimately paid to our AdSense partners, which totaled $1.45 billion in the first quarter of 2010." Google's partner sites generated revenues, through AdSense, of $2.04 billion. Obviously, 1.45/2.04~=0.71, which is very close to the AdSense for Content revenue share.
