I got the last version, and got it replaced because the connections didn't connect properly. The replacement is better but still not consistent enough to play. Will this new version work? I really don't want to pay to find out a second time.

Add an instrument input to your iPhone or iPad with Griffin GuitarConnect Pro
This is the kind of thing that brought me to the iPhone and Macbook Pro. I'm a musician and there are far too many apps and accessories that cater to me when it comes to Apple. None of the other platforms have anything for me. This sounds like a fun device. Will have to look into it.
Considering I won a copy of garage band from a tipb contest, I now need a cable like this to connect my guitar. So I'll have to make a trip to guitar center and see what my options are... That's if I don't fabricate a custom cable in the meantime.

Born Jun. 12, 1833, Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Virginia (West Virginia); died Jun. 26, 1915, Shenandoah, Page County, Virginia.
Oldest daughter of Robert (ca. 1808 – 1876) and Catharine Baker McKinney (ca. 1812 – ca. 1850). Maternal grandparents were Major Joseph McKinney (1773-?) and Dinah Quigley (1776-1823). Great-grandaughter of Robert Quigley (1744-1815) and Eleanor Mary Jacobs (1745-1821).
From the July 7, 1915 issue of the Page News & Courier:
Death of Mrs. C.S. Moore
Mrs. Catherine A. Moore, widow of C.S. Moore, died in Shenandoah, this county, at 11 p.m., on Saturday, aged 82 years and 14 days. Her health had been feeble for several years and she was very ill for six weeks preceeding her death. Mrs. Moore was a Miss McKinney of West Virginia, having been born at Shepherdstown. She is the last survivor of her family. During her married life she resided in Martinsburg and for a number of years afterwards and came to Shenandoah a year or two ago to reside with her son, J.H. Moore. The following children survive her: J. Howard Moore, of Shenandoah, VA., C.C. Moore of Hatboro, Pa., and Mrs. C.T. Quintard, of New York City. She also leaves nine grand children and three great grand children. After brief services at her late home by Rev. M.A. Ashby her remains were taken to Martinsburg and buried in Green Hill Cemetery at that place. All of her children were at the funeral. Mrs. Moore was a member of the Episcopal church and greatly esteemed by all who knew her.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank the many friends at Shenandoah and elsewhere who were so kind to us in our bereavement.
Children of Mrs. C.S. Moore
NOTE: Her headstone has the incorrect year of birth, and has no inscription for date of death.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers at a Target store in Brooklyn said a label that listed the color of a plus-size dress as "manatee gray" was insulting.
The label for the same dress in smaller sizes described it as "dark heather gray."
Target apologized for the label.
Michelle Ho, shopping at the store at Atlantic Terminal Mall, told the New York Post that Target was "putting down one set of people over another" with the different labels. Spokeswoman Jessica Deede called the labeling "an unintentional oversight."
She said although manatee gray was a seasonal color, Target was "fixing the discrepancy." She said the item was removed from the company website.

In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the world was introduced to Darth Vader's now fugitive apprentice, Starkiller — the unlikely hero who would ignite the flames of rebellion in a galaxy so desperately in need of a champion. In the sequel, Starkiller returns with over-the-top Force powers and embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader — but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. The chase is on — Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller. With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars movies — all in his desperate search for answers to his past.

By incorporating two ground-breaking technologies, Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) and euphoria, and paired with the powerful Havok physics system, players will interact with their environments and battle against enemies in new and exciting ways. Couple those technological advancements with devastating lightsaber attack combos, over-the-top Force powers like Force Grip and Force Repulse, and a storyline that takes place in the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed provides a Star Wars gaming experience the likes of which have never been seen before.

Turkey vulture vs. Black vulture
• Turkey vulture: The turkey vulture is approximately 4 pounds with a wingspan of about 6 feet. It is mostly dark brown or black, an adult turkey vulture has a featherless, red head.• Black vulture: The black vulture is smaller, weighing less than 4 pounds with a wingspan under 5 feet.– Source: Wildlife Services
A New Ellenton resident wakes up on a beautiful, sunny day and goes outside to grab their newspaper but they feel a pair of eyes peering down at them.
They look up and there's a vulture using their rooftop as a place to soak up some sun.
"It's probably something they don't want to see first thing in the morning," said Wildlife Services State Director Noel Myers, who set up the scenario that may be familiar to many living in New Ellenton.
New Ellenton City Council was recently approached by several concerned residents who have noticed an increase in the area's vulture presence, and officials are trying to figure out a way to abate the problem.
New Ellenton Mayor Vernon Dunbar said senior residents are particularly bothered by the menacing-looking birds.
"It's kind of scary because they are big, and they like to stay in dead trees," Dunbar said.
Dunbar said they contacted Myers who offered some advice on how to rid the City of these vultures.
South Carolina has two types of these birds – the turkey vulture and the black vulture. Though they are not known for causing physical harm to people, they can be a nuisance.
Black vultures have damaged homes and commercial buildings by destroying caulking, roof shingles, vent seals, rubber roof liners and pool covers with their sharp nails and beaks, according to Wildlife Services. Vulture droppings, acidic urine and corrosive vomit can be destructive to man-made surfaces.
Though vultures are scavengers, the black vulture has displayed predatory behaviors by attacking young livestock or other weak animals.
These birds can be trouble-makers, but they are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act – it is illegal to harm or kill vultures. But, Myers said nothing prevents residents from "harassing them."
Myers said loud noises often scare off vultures. Removing attractants like dead trees or open garbage containers can also help decrease the vulture population around one's property.
Wildlife Services also uses a technique in which they hang real or constructed vulture effigies around a populated area to scare off the birds. To use an actual dead vulture to deter others from roosting in an area, that would be left to Wildlife Services officials or a permit has to be obtained.
Vultures can be found pretty much all over South Carolina, and Myers said the population seems to be growing.
"That seems to be the trend," Myers said. "We have no shortages of vultures, basically, in the state of South Carolina."
To report a vulture problem or for more information, call 866-487-3297 or visit www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage/.

Cursed!

Round Robin: TiPb vs. BlackBerry Bold Video Preview
Is that a waffle on your ear? Oh wait. It's just a Blackberry. ;)
Seriously, my wife has a Curve (although she secretly covets my iPhone 3G), and although she was considering the Bold, she decided against it because it was just too big.
That's a nice look at the Bold - I'm looking forward to your final review when you look at the media player when compared to the iPhone.
Great review. I wanted to know if you tried out how word processing worked on the bold and if there was any cut and paste.
Good review also wondering how the copy and paste works on the bold because i had a treo and it was simple with the touchscreen and wondered how would that work with non touchscreen berries thanks ahead of time
If the iPhone didn't exist, I'd probably have a bold. Though I love my iPhone to much.
I have been looking forward to this review. I love(d) my BlackBerry and have been thinking about going back, but the iPhone just does everything I need it to do.
I suppose the big news is Jobs shunning Macworld and Palm's upcoming announcement, but Rene's video is a fun few minutes... ping! Yeah, trying to hold a conversation with a Blackberry owner is an exercise in frustration as they never seem to pay attention to you... ping!
Good Review!
Its so painful to watch blackberries being used hahaha
its still a cool phone. but i want the iphone
That has got to be the most entertaining review I've read throughout all of the Round Robin Posts so far. Rene cracks me up! Seriously.
While I am a Crackberry addict, I really enjoyed listening to his take and humor on the Bold. So much so, that I may even look at an iphone as a secondary device.
Yeah, he was that good.
Ok. This guy obviously does not know a thing about blackberry. They have spellcheck, and the iphone does not render GIF files, as blackberry does -- at least the Curve I am using does.
I could go on, but i'll save it for my I-phone co-worker. We go at it all day lol.
Excellent (P)Review!
Rene, nice job of inserting humor in what would otherwise be a review of a truly boring and passe product. Ping...gotta go.
Didn't I see that hideous contraption in an old movie? :roll:
From someone coming from an iPhone and just starting to work with the Bold, I thin kit was a good review. Just remember, pressing P will take you to the previous e-mail/message and N will take you to the next, so you don't always have to go into the menu to access options. :-)
Great review!
and so it continues. if i could combine a few phones I would be a happy camper.
The "fake buttons" you refer to are actually the contact points for the new style dock/cradle they came out with.
Good review. Please cut and clean your nails next time though before doing a video review. hehe j/k :)
Good review. I too wanted to know if you tried out how word processing features on the device.
I like your initial love of the keyboard.
All you do to copy and paste is go into the options. I dont know how it is on the Storm yet since I will finally be getting it next week. I still don't get it. I've played with the Iphone way before my first Blackberry and still enjoyed RIM's device better. To me the Iphone is an over glorified psp. That being said, I would rather have an Iphone on all trips and to waste time because of the games/app store. Oh well.
Nice review Rene, a few things off for the comments about the spell check and the "fake" buttons, but I'm sure by now you have realized what I'm referring too, from the comments here and just usage of the device. Can't wait to hear your final take!
Nice review!
You might want to clean and cut your nails before showing your hands in a video again.
This is great. Good job
Its amazing how many features you were using on Bold that do not exist on an iphone that were just second nature i.e. Menu button. every app you are in on blackberry has a menu that can do so much. This is the one HUGE thing the iphone is missing. it allows you to forward or reply to a msg from msg view without opening. You can select multiple msgs and mark as read. you can SEARCH you inbox. iphone for email is a complete JOKE.
Great review. I enjoyed the pings a lot.
that bold is a nice phone
Good review. More positive than I expected from an iPhone user.
Just some FYI's.
The "fake" buttons on the bottom of the sides of the Bold are power contacts for a Charging Pod:http://www.shopblackberry.com/blackberryaccessories/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?frompage=category&page=productdetail&from_category=BlackBerry%20Bold&category=BlackBerry+Bold+Chargers&pid=F2222X26M2J9PNVTGW7
When you place the Bold into the Pod, the Clock will display, and the Clock application can also enter "Bedside" mode which can optionally turn off the LED notifier, disable the Radio, and dim the screen.
Also, you can use the Space bar to scroll down in the Browser.
Finally, you can usually tap the first letter of a menu item to get to it quickly, so when you're in the Browser, instead of having to scroll forever to find Options, you hit Menu --> O --> [Enter] to get into the Options.
There's a wealth of shortcuts - including the Shortcut Keys (http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/blogs/jdellasala/680-homescreenshortcutkeysqwertydevicesonly.html?referrerid=3389)
and lots more!
Give a yell if you need any tips! Nice review BTW.
It seems that even Rene is having a hard time finding too much fault with the Bold. It's just a very good PDA that does everything well. Probably the most well rounded device in the round robin. I look forward to your final take.
Nice review. My wife and daughter have the iPhone. I have a Curve 8310. I have to say that using both platforms, I find the iPhone to be awesome... at games. But in real day to day life, I'll take my Blackberry any day. I'll be upgrading to a Bold.
i really like the look of that? what carriers have it in the us? my iphone just isn't cutting it for email and texting and i like the looks of the blackbery
Very nice review. It'll help to learn some of the shortcuts, but even that's a little hard with one week. It took me a month or two to just use shortcuts.
Ah, my cheap company wants to pay for a phone plan but not for the phone itself. I'm trying to get away from Windows Mobile, this generation just isn't in the same league as these other devices.
My iphone is nice, but this blackberry looks outstanding! I think I will be switching soon.
(I can't do it. I'm really a bb user. I just felt like being a wisea**, hehehe, sorry)
Nice review, though.
If my works wants to buy me one, I wouldn't complain...
Good review!
Love my Blackberry! Wish I could rent an Iphone to see if i liked it
If I comment here can I win an iPhone? Or I guess I'm probably excluded since I'm an editor in the Smartphone Round Robin...hehehe :)
Just wanted to say awesome review!!!
Great review. If it wasn't for the iphone I would be a Blackberry lover.
Want tha iphone 3g...heard it was a great device and ive been reading reviews on it....blackberry bold and iphone unstoppable team lol
Great review. iPhone 3G!
The size of the Bold actually has never seemed "large" to me... but then again, its about the same size as a Treo.
you're so popular with all your messages lol. the bold is sexy.. next to the iphone of course (;
Im sorry, your just a complete moron. First off your gramar was horrible when talking about not typing good. Second off, you don't like to manage memory on your phone? That's maybe that worst apalogetic defense i've heard for the iphone only being able to run 1 program at once, excluding core programs. Jesus man, get off your high horse. The iphone is technology from 3 years ago. Your amazing OS is a bunch of shortcuts on 1 screen, and the browers is based on webkit. YOu can get webkit browsers for any phone. Ill take skyfire over safari any day.
Nice review...
I got a chance of playing around with both iPhone 3G and Blackberry Bold at Rogers, still can't make up my mind with which one I want to go for.... may be both (I buy Blackberry and then I win the iPhone 3G here.... :) )
the back button! wooooooot! lol multiple ways of spelling, bruce lee training method, HAHAHA
blackberry claw...lol
Merry Christmas! :)
Not only is your comment riddled with bad grammar, but you also misspelled the word grammar (not to mention other words). Perhaps you typed it on that piece-of-sh*t phone of yours. :lol:
Looks like we all know who the "complete moron" is. :)
Back button - gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!
Good review. I had both the iPhone 3G and the Bold.
Still not sure which I prefer though.
Wow, it sure is....uh... shiny.
The Bold looks pretty great to me. :)
Great Review! Had been on the fence with the two devices but your review has convinced me to fall fruit side. I'll take that iPhone, please!
HA! @Joeh4x...
or maybe it was a poor shot at irony?
Anyway, great review! I'm a Bold user in a relationship with an iPhone dweeb. That goes well beyond frenemies..
I am an iPhone user who came from Blackberries. The menu sytem of blackberries is a good thing and a bad thing. It allows you to customize a lot but there are menus everywhere. And if your looking to customize something specific, it can be hard to figure out which menu to use: within the app? Main settings? Advanced settings? Blackberries are centralized around menus and the menus are all over the place. Not user friendly in my opinion. Don't get me wrong though, I love the Bold, that's why it's frenemy #1
I'm an iPhone user and I want that keyboard.
the GAYphone please.
The iphone and the Bold are both are great phones!
If only there was some way to combine the iPhone and Bold into one superphone. Then I'd be happy.
haha great review very entertaining!
Bold is awesome!
Bold prevails...
Great Pamela Anderson reference, loved it.
For the iPhone!
sexy phone... well, both are.
mmm....the keyboard's nice haha
Looks like a nice device!
What a weird year for me...started with an "V" (model before the env), went to ATT for the original Iphone, could not receive a call while downloading on EDGE, went back to Verizon for the Voyager, switched to the rev A speed of the Dare, and lastly bought the Storm. The Bold looks nice , but I favor a touch screen.
Great review, hope i win an iPhone though
give me a bold ANYDAY.
At least RIM will partner to all carriers...iPhone's number one problem in the US is AT&T.
Have the best of both worlds, get a BlackBerry Phone and an iPod Touch.
IPhones are great if you don't manage a business, so are G-1's, but Blackberry's are still king if you are a business person or just really busy...
Note: People dont buy them for games, whatever you type you can make a million errors- just hit menu and spell check. Duhhhhhhh......I find the spell-check in my Curve to be better than Word...
sick review!!!
You've got mail!
clash of the titans
The bold is a beautiful phone.
pick me
I was a previous owner of the iPhone (sorry guys), and have converted to a BB lover ever since my change. I have a VZW Curve and I don't know how I ever lived without one before (heheh). I do think I've outgrown it as I look at the Bold and the Storm with drool on both sides of my mouth. Not sure what side of the fence I'll fall on but I'm not going back to an iPhone. Again, sorry folks :)
Though the browser is awesome on the iphone, nothing compares to a blackberry! Especially the Bold!!!
Very nice review
Muhahahaha......The Bold is King! All Hail the BB Bold!!!
One of the great benefits of a physical keyboard is shortcuts: R for reply, F for forward, etc. Forget the endless menus!
Nice review. I'm holding out to see what Palm brings out at CES.
Nobody mention the bold is HUGE with the smallest sreen of all. It's the tallest and widest phone among all the new phones. But also the smallest screen.
(Sq inches:)
- Fuze 8.06
- Treo 10.60
- iPhone 11,20
- Bold 11.66
Bold with the smallest screen is even bigger than the HD with a 3.8" screen
It's a huge tablet to hold in your your hand and put in your face.
It's a good phone but there is no point of comparing to the iPhone. Two different animals.
Wooo! Let's go! I wanna win me some prize-age!
Bold loses, but is still the best BB to date. Thanks for the great review!
If you cant work the sliders, then you may need to resort to some primmage. ,

Katherine Heigl's countdown
Katherine Heigl's return to television is happening on Monday night, NBC 10pm. They gave her the timeslot right behind The Voice. Which is generous. Which means that, at least in its first week, State Of Affairs should do OK. But will it last? So far I've read two reviews. Yahoo TV Full Story
Katherine Heigl: Emmys Worst Dress
Frazer Harrison/ Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
God I've missed Katherine Heigl at the Emmys. She doesn't disappoint. Obviously what I mean by that is that she's always good for a "Oh, right, your mother dresses you" moment. In this case, I feel like her mother, also her best friend, always imagined herself like Elizabeth Taylor, swanning around in the 60s in a silk robe all day with a martini in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other, lipstick slightly smeared by all the fight-f*cking with Richard Burton. Full Story
Katherine Heigl on the spot
Katherine Heigl is promoting her new show State Of Affairs. She and her mother are both producers on the show. So at the TCAs this weekend, while the entire panel was on stage fielding questions, a critic stepped up and asked her about her reputation – that she's difficult to work with, that she and her mother come as a package deal and have alienated many people in the business, which is why her career has been in the sh-ts for a couple of years. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 could not hold on to the top spot at the box office this weekend. Instead it was Neighbours and a big win for Zac Efron. Just weeks ago he was getting his ass beat under a bridge in Los Angeles, a sketchy incident he still can't quite explain. Now he's riding what they're calling the best performance of his career and he's finally broken through the male demographic. Read Full Intro
Katie Heigl sues for $6 million
Katherine Heigl was papped after leaving a Duane Reade. The company then tweeted out a photo with the caption: So now she's suing them for using her image to promote themselves. Full Story
Katherine Heigl needs your money
Jason Merritt/ Getty
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, Katherine Heigl was on a popular TV show and was launching a promising film career. She was on the brink of having it all, of being America's next sweetheart and becoming one of the most famous women in the world, with the kind of juice to get whatever projects she wanted made. Full Story
Ellen Pompeo's perspective
FameFlynet, Michael Buckner/ Getty
Thursday marks the 200th episode of Grey's Anatomy. The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, and cast members have been publicising the event. Ellen Pompeo was particularly candid in an interview with the New York Post, addressing the notorious departures of both Isaiah Washington and Katherine Heigl. Full Story
Katherine Heigl is going to be great!
Last week, The Hollywood Reporter posted a thorough (if not-so-surprising) piece on the antics of Katherine Heigl and her momager, Nancy. Click here a refresher. Difficult, abrasive, and her own worst enemy – that pretty much sums up Katherine's reputation. Full Story
Katherine Heigl "isn't worth it"
The Hollywood Reporter posted an analysis of Katherine Heigl's career yesterday. Have you read it? According to the article, Heigl basically pissed away her film career by mouthing off about her projects and being a bitch on set. And it's not just her, it's also her mother, aka her best friend, who makes outrageous demands about everything from money to accommodations to casting and scripting and more. Full Story
Katherine Heigl wants to go home
Judd Apatow put Katherine Heigl in his movie. It was a hit. So Katherine Heigl tried to become a movie star. It didn't really work out. Now Heigl is reportedly contemplating a return to television. She's been pitching a show to the networks and so far NBC seems most interested. It's a CIA drama and Heigl would play "an adviser/communications liaison for the U. Full Story
Heigl's vaping
That's what they call it – vaping, which means smoking from an electronic cigarette, which is what I've been doing for 7 months now and it works. I am off cigarettes. The problem is the word "vaping" is so dumb. Anyway, Katherine Heigl has been an e-cig smoker for years. Full Story
Katherine Heigl: it's been a long time
It's been a long time since I posted about Katherine Heigl. Let me check. Last article posted was ... March 2012. Is that right? Over a year? Our archive search is sometimes wonky but that might be right. A year. Here's Heigl in New Orleans the other day with her husband Josh Kelly. Full Story

Air Purifiers
The cleanest homes can still contain dust, pollen, pet dander and fumes that can make the air harder to breathe, especially for those prone to allergies. While it's impossible to ensure air that is 100% free of allergens, air cleaners can reduce asthma and allergy symptoms considerably. Available in portable units or whole-home systems, you can also choose air purifiers according to the various filtration stages they offer and even choose those that have enhanced air quality features such as HEPA. These can capture allergens and contaminants up to 99.97% making it the best choice for capturing the highest percent of particles. You can also choose between electrostatic precipitator and ozone generator air purifiers. Technology such as activated carbon, pre-filters and Thermodynamic Sterilizing System (TSS) are known to target contaminants such as bacteria and viruses as well. Energy Star Certified Air Purifiers are recommended as they are more energy efficient than standard models.
If you are looking for the best air purifier online, you are likely to take time to compare prices and read reviews so you can find the best one for your needs.

I can see it coming. I have a 16 month old baby girl here at home and a 10.5 yr old going to school each day for right now until school ends. This boy is due in May and I can see it coming. I am currently flooded with requests to read "Goodnight Piggyboo" and "Little Quack Plays Hide and Seek". If I am not carefully aware of my surroundings at the time, the book may land squarely in my forehead as a request. I love the fact that she is so interested in books but can see the separation anxiety starting right now. I got out of the car to walk one of our girl scout troop members to her door the other night and I heard the wail of crying coming from the car because I had vacated my seat next to her. Never mind the fact that Daddy and big sister were still in the car with her and the music she so loves was still going.
I am turning a little fearful of the "jealousy" that I may be encouraging by not tackling these small problems now. I know it's normal for her to want Mama now that she actually calls me that versus Daddy or UUUhhhh. I worry about how to handle when I have to breastfeed her brother and she wants mommy and daughter time. She does do a lot of play on her own here during the day so I am not a constant attachment to her side. Maybe it will all fall into place and she will be more facinated with the new baby brother to worry about attention loss, I can only hope. I am willing to take suggestions from anyone who has faced this dilema in their own families.
I've gotten her to go to bed regularly with the sound of her Fisher Price aquarium crib toy. She loves the sound of the rain and it seems to do the trick just beautifully to get her to go to bed. We had a week of frustration in trying to learn that bedtime was bedtime and she was going down to bed without being rocked or having food/bottle. My mother is more than happy to take care of her while we are in the hospital which is a BIG help. I just want to make sure I haven't created a monster for her to handle. So the bedtime routine should help ease transition for the few days I'm gone.
My goodness I believe she is going into a growth spurt as well. She is drinking more milk/soy and eating more table food than before. She actually almost finished a full Gerber Graduate Spaghetti and Mini Meatball meal for the first time and napped for 3 hours in the AM and then 1 hour in the evening. Normally the 3 hour nap would suffice until bedtime. She napped from 7-8pm, woke up happy, played and then went down no problem at 10pm usual time. What was interesting was her getting up this morning. She woke up with a screeching cry and then started laughing when she saw that I was startled awake by her abrupt call.
My poor husband and his knee. He got up at 2:30am and couldn't get back to sleep due to the pain in his kneecap. He took his medicine, used the TENS unit for a bit and put on a cryocuff to help ice down the inflamation. He had a good work out at the PT session yesterday which I know would bring about a bit more pain but this is almost like post surgery pain. We shall put a call into the doctor to see if this is normal or if maybe something was missed. I trust the doctor debrided all he was suppose to, just hoping this pain in the kneecap goes away in a short time. Prior to his workout, he seemed to have been having a great day.
Well, it's almost time for Baby Story on TLC. I'm a sucker for that program now. Matter of fact, I'm getting anxious to meet our little one now. I keep seeing these women having babies on tv and now I'm thinking like Jennifer Aniston's character on Friends. "Everyone is going before me, it's MY turn next!" LOL In due time I will have this munchkin and it will be when he's ready I hope. But I prepare myself for a possible induction just like the rest.
Have a great day all and I hope to hear from anyone with suggestions for me on handling two little ones at home. I look forward to being the mother of three but I do worry about how to handle some of the challenges.

Quality and Patient Safety > Patient Safety Tips > Fall Prevention
Fall Prevention
Unfortunately, it is still not uncommon for patients to experience a fall while in the hospital. While most falls do not have a significant impact on outcome, they can result in increased pain, longer length of time in the hospital, complicating your condition, and contribute to the perception of the quality of care received. Numerous studies have been done on falls occurring in hospitals, nursing homes, and in the community.
- Falls are common both in hospitalized patients and in elderly people living in the community. Elderly patients recently discharged from the hospital are at an even higher risk for falls.
- In geriatric care, approximately 80–90 percent of all patient injuries are caused by falls.
- The likelihood of falling seems to increase, depending on the number of risk factors that are present.
Risk Factors and Fall Prediction
- Studies have shown that one of the strongest factors associated with falls is history of a previous fall. Falls do not always occur because you are careless. A fall may be an indication that some of your medication is having an adverse effect or you may have had a change in your medical condition. Be sure to tell your doctor or nurse if you have experienced a fall.
- It is not unusual to become confused or disoriented when in the hospital. This can lead to an increased risk of falling. This is particularly true for our elderly patients. If this occurs it may be helpful for a family member or friend to stay with you, if appropriate.
- Other sorts of mental, sensory, or functional impairments, such as those that may be caused by stroke, dementia, or Parkinson's Disease place patients at a higher risk for falls.
- Falls often are associated with the need to go to the bathroom. Patients want to be independent and sometimes do not realize how unsteady they are. It is always better to call for assistance than take the risk of falling.
- Other risk factors include a longer duration of hospitalization, anti-seizure and antidepressant medications, topical eye medications, diuretics (fluid pills), some high blood pressure medications, and certain cardiac drugs.
- Gait and balance difficulties and weakness have also been identified as risk factors for falls. It is best to wear skid-free slippers when attempting to walk and maneuver about. Use of walking aids, such as canes or walkers, can contribute to a fall.
- For nursing home patients, use of multiple medications and starting new medications, especially mood-altering drugs, have been shown to be significant risk factors for falls.
How You Can Help Reduce Your Risk of Falling
- Be sure to tell your doctor and nurses if you have experienced a fall within the last few months. This will be important for them to know as they work to develop your plan of care.
- Having surgery or being in bed for a longer than normal period of time can lead to weakness and being unsteady on your feet. When getting out of bed for the first time, always ask for assistance. Continue to ask for assistance as long as you feel uncertain about your ability to manage on your own.
- Wear skid-proof slippers.
- Try not to delay the urge to go to the bathroom. Request help, if needed, when you begin to feel the need to go. Delays may create more of an "emergency" situation and contribute to a fall.
- If your family member is confused or agitated, consider having someone stay with them. In addition to acting as a safeguard against falling, a familiar face is often more reassuring and comforting to the patient.
- If you need a walker, cane, or crutches, familiarize yourself with the proper and safe way to use them. Your nurse or physical therapist can help with this.

Twenty-one-month-old Robert Andrew Moody was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Medical Center of Central Georgia Sept. 6. According to a report of the tragedy by Jones County Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Hall, he was dispatched to the scene just after 5 p.m. concerning the report of a missing child.
When the deputy arrived, he was told the toddler had been missing 10-15 minutes before they called. Hall said he asked the mother if she had checked the house well, looking in closets and under beds, and she said yes.
Not long after that conversation, the deputy said he heard the father screaming that he found the child in the lake. The deputy ran to the lake, and the father already had the child out of the water and was attempting resuscitation.
Hall and Deputy Fulbrycht took turns with the father in performing CPR until EMS arrived. The child was turned over to EMS and transported to the Medical Center.

And the countdown goes on. I looked out the window yesterday morning and wondered what had happened. Just the day before Spring was tapping at the pane, beckoning me with long, slender fingers of sunshine to come out and play. A promise of warmth and gentle winds and a hint of summer to come. How I yearned to walk outside and feel the midday sun wash over me, be enveloped in the mild breeze and be carried along, mind empty of all winter woes and just bask in the cheerful expectation of the coming springtime, but those hopes were soon dashed to the ground. The following morning, just one day later, we woke to drab skies and the threat of rain and a grumpy dog roaming from room to room looking for that bright spot of sunshine on the carpet. And on top of it all, I had missed my chance to enjoy our one beautiful day: there I was, lying sick in bed, covers pulled up to my chin, groaning for no one to hear. And feeling very sorry for myself. As I cracked open one eye and looked out the window onto that dreary day, a chill in the air, I wondered if Ms. Spring was crying for me as I lay in bed sick, not able to go out and play.
The weather teases, coaxes me into believing that one more winter is done and over, slate-colored skies will turn blue, steel gray, heavy clouds will stomp off leaving fluffy, cotton clouds, airy and light, in their place. Yet here it is playing games, hide and seek, making promises like a coquette, promises she doesn't mean to keep, flashing her brilliant smile, baring one delicate shoulder, whispering your name, then disappearing as you reach out for her, leaving nothing in your grasp except for the echo of her mocking laugh. Ah, that is April for you, in like a lion, out like a lamb yet in between the two nothing but deception, hope and waiting.
But here it is, another day come and gone and as I stretch and yawn and realize that Mr. Bug has also come and gone leaving me feeling just a little bit brighter, a little closer to normal, I see the sun is back, shining through the shutters and inviting me to downshift one more time into springtime mode.
I detest being sick. I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to eat, and that, my friends, is truly tragic! And when sick I barely make it from one end of the apartment to the other much less outside to shop, so poor JP ended up eating boiled potatoes for dinner. He found them hiding somewhere in their little brown paper bag, boiled them up and ate them with a bit of old bread and a spot of cheese. Poor man. But I was saving all of my own pity for myself so I had little to spare. No, I can't say that, can I? I felt horrid! Forcing my poor man who works so hard all day long to eat boiled potatoes for dinner? So the following morning I forced myself out of bed, drank a hot cup of coffee and some toast and jam and swore that I would get over this bug. Pronto!
And now it's done and off I run to market! I love the coming of spring with the occasional sighting of a berry here or an asparagus there, the local fruits and vegetables waving their little arms, calling my name. As the oranges and grapefruit dwindle to the last few golden orbs, as the passion fruit elbow their way in front of the pears, as the local apples give way to their tiny red friends, it's starting to feel a lot like summer! And that, my friends, is enough to cheer anyone up!
The first local gariguette strawberries from just outside Nantes have finally shown their lovely red faces this week. Nestled in their tiny cartons, they puff out their little strawberry chests and gloat: perfect, plump berries with their thatch of green crowning something so luscious, France's most famous, beloved strawberries, bright and sugary sweet, juicy and tender, the perfect berry to eat one after the next, fingers staining a gorgeous ruby red, or dusted with sugar that cracks in between your teeth as you scoop up a few slices of the dusted berries and bite down. Or smothered under barely sweetened Chantilly, adding a froth of feminine luxuriousness to something already so sexy as that perfect red jewel-like fruit.
Already at the height of her sweetness, the gariguette calls me over to the market stall and mesmerizes me with her fragrance and perfect little body. I have visions of wrapping her in cream, thick and luscious, pairing her with the last of the season's oranges, tart and tangy, a kiss of warmth, winter's brilliant, golden depth against summer's light sweetness. Add to that a soft bite of ladyfinger, delicate yet dense, drenched in a rich caramel with a kick of orange and a splash of red fruit syrup, snuggling deep in the snowy white cream redolent of vanilla and nutty Amaretto. Mmmmmm. Luxurious, voluptuous, what more could you ask for in a dessert? How about low fat? Ok, you've got it! Slide a spoonful between your lips, into your mouth, onto your tongue, taste buds titillated they glide through flavor after flavor, the richness of the cream, the sweet, juicy berries, the glow of the orange, the earthiness of the Amaretto and it is hard to believe that this dessert is low fat. Believe it! So cool and refreshing, you can indulge all summer long! Indulge and enjoy!
Makes 4 individual Tiramisu *
*for more, simply increase everything! Easily done!
I played this completely by ear, basing it on a traditional Tiramisu (here and here). Ladyfingers soaked in orange caramel syrup with a couple of tablespoons of a red fruit syrup to taste which can be replaced with a simple blend of freshly squeezed orange juice, a tablespoon or two of Amaretto and any red fruit drink or juice, preferably sugar-free, to taste. Layer it with whatever summery fruit you like, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or even the last of the season's ripe, sweet pears or oranges.
About 12 ladyfingers (recipe follows) **
1 pint ripe, sweet, juicy strawberries
1 cup of syrup made with freshly-squeezed orange juice and sugar *** + a red fruit syrup or juice or strawberry purée
2 cups (500 ml) 0% fat fromage frais, quark or even Greek yogurt
About 3 Tbs powdered/confectioner's sugar to taste
½ vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped out (you will use the seeds not the pod)
2 – 3 Tbs Amaretto or to taste
Make the ladyfingers if not using store bought. Make the orange syrup and allow to cool to room temperature. This can be done well ahead of time. Before using, take about ½ cup or so of the orange syrup and add any red fruit syrup, nectar or juice to taste. If you like, get some extra ripe strawberries and purée them and stir them into the orange syrup to taste. (I used Le Nantillais Fruits Rouges, a non-alcoholic, sweetened fruit preparation used as a base for cocktails). And don't forget that you can always replace the fat-free fromage frais with mascarpone and make a traditional cream Tiramisu.
Blend the fromage frais with powdered sugar, the seeds from the vanilla bean and Amaretto to taste. Whisk until well blended and creamy.
Put about a tablespoon of the fromage frais mixture in the bottom of 4 desserts bowls.
Take a ladyfinger and plunge into the orange syrup allowing it to soak up liquid so it is soaked through but not mushy or falling apart, just a few seconds. Place one in each bowl and press gently into the layer of cream. Slice 4 more ladyfingers and plunge into the syrup a piece at a time and snuggle them either side of the whole ladyfingers already in the bowls to fill in the dish to make a complete layer of soaked fingers.
Divide the rest of the fromage frais, reserving about 4 heaping tablespoons, between the 4 glasses, covering the ladyfingers with the cream. Trim the strawberries and slice placing a layer of sliced strawberries in each bowl on top of the layer of cream.
Add a tablespoon (divide the rest of the fromage frais) on top of the sliced berries then decorate the top with more sliced strawberries.
Cover the "Tiramisu" with plastic wrap and allow to chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight so the flavors blend and the ladyfingers soften with the juice and cream.
Just before serving, drizzle a bit of the orange syrup over the berries on top then whiz up a final few ladyfingers in a food processor to make large crumbs and sprinkle over the top of each "Tiramisu". Serve chilled.
** for the Ladyfingers (if you want to see how this looks step by step click here):
3 large eggs, separated
6 Tbs (75 g) sugar
¾ cup (95 g) cake flour, sifted
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbs (50 g) confectioner's/powdered sugar
Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Place the whites in a medium-sized metal or plastic bowl and add a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 large baking or cookie sheets with parchment paper. I "glued" down the corners of the parchment with a dab of softened butter just so the parchment lay flat.
Beat the egg whites on low for 30 seconds then increase the beater speed to high and beat until the whites hold soft peaks. Continue beating while sprinkling on about a tablespoon or 2 of the sugar until the whites are stiff.
Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar and the vanilla until thick, pale and the batter forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted up. Using a spatula, fold the whites into the yolk mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the flour also added in 3 times, until smooth and well blended. Do not overfold.
Fit a pastry bag with a plain tip (or just snip the end off; you could also use a Ziploc bag) and fill with the batter. Pipe the batter into 5" long and 3/4" wide strips (or larger or smaller as needed) leaving about 1" space in between the strips.
Sprinkle half the confectioner's sugar over the ladyfingers and wait for 5 minutes. The sugar will pearl or look wet and glisten.
Now sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the ladyfingers. This helps to give the ladyfingers their characteristic crispness.
Bake the ladyfingers for 10 minutes then turn the baking sheets around back to front and continue baking until the fingers are lightly golden, about 5 minutes more depending on your oven.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing them with a metal spatula onto cooling racks to cool completely.
** for the Orange Syrup:
½ cup (100 g) sugar
Scant 1 cup (200 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
Red fruit juice
Place the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and begin warming it. Once the sugar starts to foam and bubble around the edges, slowly add the orange juice. If the sugar starts to re-solidify, don't worry, as the juice heats it will re-melt. Stir as needed. As soon as the mixture begins to boil and all of the sugar is melted, lower the heat and allow to simmer until it begins to thicken slightly and turns a deeper golden color. You want a syrup not a caramel.
Allow to cool completely before using. Just before using, add a splash of red fruit juice to taste. Or purée extra strawberries and mix into the syrup.

He prayed his relationship would work out...that's just the girl he wanted to marry. It didn't work out. The pain was severe. He was angry with God, and his faith diminished. He was lonely, confused, and wandered through life and relationships for several years. He ended up marrying someone else. Over the years, their relationship grew. Through prayer and trials they became partners and friends. She became the pillar of their relationship, the stability, and the love he needed. The girl he had wanted to marry continued in her selfish, rebellious ways that had ended their relationship in the first place. Twenty years later he realized how much he'd been blessed by first of all not marrying her, and secondly, becoming one with the sweet love of his life.
A woman lost her job. It was the job she had "waited for her whole life". She was esteemed, felt important and fulfilled. Quickly she began to realize how stressful it was. She ended up in the hospital with chest pain and migraines. In the back of her mind she knew it was the job, that things weren't as she had hoped, and in fact, that it was killing her. But she hung on...this was, after all, the job of her life. A few weeks later she got escorted out of the building...fired. She was distraught, angry, disillusioned. She prayed to die, but lived instead. In the midst of her sorrow, she spent time on her knees and was led to seek answers to some questions that had been fermenting in the back of her mind for her whole life. 3 months later she realized she was recovering, God had blessed with new, better circumstances...including things she learned that she never knew before and would last her whole lifetime.

Most Perekstas in the United States descend from two men:
- Ivan or Janos Pereksta (1857-1933) who was from Prislop in what's
now far northeastern Slovakia. Four of his children (Mary, John, Sue and
Anna) settled in the US.
- George Pereksta (1878-1938) who was from either Prislop or nearby Starina. George and his wife Nellie ended up in the Cleveland, OH area.
A George, another Anna and a William from Starina show up Danbury, CT in early 20th century census and immigration records. While the records suggested they were siblings, I did not know if CT George was the same man as OH George. For there are other Georges...
There is a George Pereksta enumerated in Pennsylvania in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses. A George Pereksta traveled from Prislop to the U.S. with Ivan's daughter Mary Pereksta in 1901. There are at least three other immigration records for men named George Pereksta.
New information sheds some light...
Happily, a recently discovered obituary clarifies the Georges (some) and the family relationships. Anna Pereksta Pastorok (the Anna of the Danbury, CT records) died in Binghamton, NY on 27 May 1950. Her obituary names two surviving brothers - William Pereksta of Passaic, NJ and George Pereksta of Koppel, PA.
So there is another Pereksta family in the United States:
- Anna Pereksta Pastorok (1870-1950) ended up in Binghamton, NY where Ivan's daughters lived. They called her tall Anna (which doesn't mean she was all that tall).
- George Perekesta (1877-?) lived in PA. His last known address was in Koppel, PA.
- William Pereksta (1880-?) lived in Passaic, NJ near to Ivan's son John.
