Music to Our Ears
The shofar is the sound of Jewish life.
By Janet Zimmern
We Also Recommend
This article from the synagogue bulletin of K.A.M. Isaiah Israel Congregation in Chicago appears in Moments of Transcendence: Inspirational Readings for Rosh Hashanah, edited by Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, (
Jason Aronson
Birth is noisy. Often it is a piercing, shrieking noise that announces the new. In various cultures, the sounds of the rhythm of life and its transitions are celebrated by the percussion of drum beating, horn blowing, cymbal clashing, the ringing of bells, organized cheering and chanting, firecrackers and firing of guns. Sharp and persistent noises heighten the human sense of drama, and facilitate communication with the power and awe of the supernatural. Recently, after 5 hours of climbing I stood at 13,000 feet in the cold, thin air and desolate, rock-strewn landscape atop a glacier covered peak in the Rocky Mountains. The enveloping sounds were incessant and deafening. It is an uncanny wind that blows at the top of the world.
The shofar blows and we listen, not to think about a pattern of symbols, but rather to experience hearing one of the original and uncanny sounds of historical Jewish life. It is not a pretty sound, one that pleases genteel or even trained ears. To listen to this shrill blast disturbs our senses so that we might respond to deeply felt realities of admonition and warning. Jewish worship is expressed by the mouth and caught by the ear, not managed by the eye reading silently on the handheld page. Silent reading is only a little more than a century old.
Listen then to the noise of the shofar. Perceive the manual labor required to blow it, hear its messy pitch, and feel it speaking about the birth of our world.

The dollar extended yesterday's gains that were prompted by hawkish remarks from FOMC voter Lockhart. EUR-USD logged two-week lows under 1.0850.

The dollar is firmer across-the-board following hawkish comments from the Fed's Lockhart late yesterday, who suggested upcoming data would have to disappoint significantly to get the FOMC to delay a tightening in September. His views were given more weight as he is a voter, and is typically more of a centrist. EUR-USD hit a two-week low of 1.0848, Cable fell to a nine-day nadir of 1.5526, and USD-JPY rallied to a six-day peak of 124.47, bringing the ... Read More ►

The FX market was fairly quiet through most of the N.Y. session on Tuesday, though the dollar posted gains late in the day. The unit rallied into the close, perhaps on the back of hawkish Fed comments from Lockhart, who appeared to be itching for a rate hike in September, and as late position adjustments ahead of Wednesday's ADP report stepped in.

This is the dumbest thing ever, who cares if you don't like palm. Its a phone you call someone on it.
Memo to Palm: Please Stop Sucking. You're Making Everyone Else Look Good
First let me say that I am not one to laugh at someone else's misfortune. Wait, who am I kidding? Of course I am. So it comes with certain self indulgence that I take this opportunity to point to a study that ranks Palm dead last in customer satisfaction among handset makers. So sad. But sadder still that a Palm employee posted a rebuttal in the comments of that story and cited a different study, commissioned by Palm no less, to dispute these negative results. Which is the equivalent of saying "No, really I am wonderful, just ask my Mom, she'll tell you."
Cheer up, Palm. When it comes to product stagnation and obsolete technology, you're still number one in my book.

iPhone not showing up in finder
when I plug my iphone4s ios5.0.1 into my iMac OS X 10.7.3 it shows up in i Tunes no problem but does not show up in my finder under devices. Why is this, it shows up in windows? and if it does not show up in finder how to I get my photos from my camera roll off it without going through emailing them?
If your iPhone has pictures on it that are not synced with iPhoto, iPhoto will be automatically launched when you connect the iPhone unless you have specifically turned this ability off.
i must have turned off everything in iphoto since i use photoshop to organize and edit. i went in and turned on photo capture when a camera is connected and hope this works. thanks for the help
iphone not showing up on mac
Hi, I am having the same trouble. And the answers given here do not help.
I am trying to get help from apple on this. I will keep you informed.
The iPhone does not appear in Finder as it does in Windows without the aid of some third party software.
With the phone connected go to the Photos tab in iTunes and make sure photo syncing is on.

Joyce Dickhoff
(September 28, 1926 - December 4, 2012)
In the early hours of Tuesday, December 4, 2012, Joyce Dickhoff of Hoquiam, Washington escaped the relentless grip of Alzheimer's and was welcomed into the glorious presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In her new home, she is enjoying an awareness and capacity for truth that far exceeds even the considerable aptitude that was so evident to those who knew her on this side of the veil. Joyce was born Lillian Joyce Turner to Dan and Edna (Milliron) Turner on September 28, 1926, in Olympia, Washington. She grew up on a small farm in South Bay just outside of Olympia, Washington. During this time, she became known by the part of her name that became indicative of what she brought to all who knew her, Joy. There she grew and participated in the chores related to such a family enterprise, milking cows, gathering eggs and especially picking raspberries. She attended South Bay Grade School and graduated from Olympia High School in 1944. She was an active member of the yearbook staff and an active member of First Assembly of God (now Evergreen Christian Community).
She attended Northwest Bible Institute in Seattle (now Northwest University in Kirkland) where she earned a three-year diploma. She was invited to return to complete a newly offered fourth-year and earn bachelor's degree. She graduated again in 1948.
When asked what she hoped to accomplish in her fourth year she indicated that she hoped to find a husband. Her goal was realized as she worked at a drug store soda fountain and met a fellow student from Montana. He liked ice cream and fell in love with the girl who served it. One of the things that attracted her to this young man was the affection he expressed for his younger siblings back home. Their first date was a trip around Green Lake on a rented bicycle built for two. Donald Dickhoff and Joyce Turner Dickhoff became husband and wife on July 28, 1948.
Joyce was a devoted wife and mother. She considered her role as a pastor's wife as a true partner in ministry with her husband. She obeyed the scriptural admonition to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Her family would witness her sincere empathy that elicited both emotions. She could shift from one responsibility to the other within minutes as she celebrated with some and comforted others who would call or visit the parsonage. The communities where Don and Joyce ministered included McCleary, Bucoda, Copalis Crossing and Hoquiam.
She was also known for her no-nonsense counsel. She was skilled at combining appropriate humor with little barbs that might be considered sarcastic if her wisdom and love were not so apparent.
Her command of the English language was impressive. She insisted that her children and grandchildren learn the proper use of language and encouraged the expansion of vocabulary by using words that may need clarification for young listeners. She would provide that clarification when she sensed any lack of understanding. It was her conviction that some people resorted to coarse language because they did not posses adequate vocabularies to express themselves. Hence, part of her correction for the use of inappropriate words was to remind the offender that such language might be a sign of a need for a more advanced use of vocabulary. She did however love to take advantage of an opportunity to make puns out of suitable words. When asked if she would cooperate she may respond: "Does that mean you coo and we operate?"
Joyce always enjoyed children: her own, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, those in the church and those who were in her community. She taught children in church venues and was a long time pre-school teacher touching the lives of hundreds of children in the Grays Harbor community. She rarely needed to take strict measures but always disciplined in a manner that assured the one being disciplined that they were loved. In the early years as she realized her own decline in mental acuity, she knew that she had a better grasp on things in the more distant past than those in the present. As an exercise to compensate for what she knew were diminishing abilities she capitalized on the situation and began recording the anecdotes of children that brought her joy and preserved them for her family to enjoy.
Other vocational pursuits included coloring photographs with oil paints prior to the advent of color film. Writing news columns about the community events in Bucoda sold to newspapers in Tenino, Olympia and Centralia. These columns recounted the "who's doing what and where with whom" much the way FaceBook works in the modern era.
She was an excellent homemaker. Her table always had room for a drop-in guest or the surprise visit from a family that just happened to drop by. She could cook for an army or for one of her family with equally delectable results. Her cinnamon rolls were legendary and her cheesecake pie recipe is still employed to satisfy generations to come. Her great-grandchildren are now gathering early on Thanksgiving Day to carry on a tradition that she established of making fresh dinner rolls to accompany the feast.
One of the most apt descriptions of Joyce is that she was a friend of Jesus. This was not only evidenced in what she said about Him but how she conversed with Him. It was her habit to pray in a most reverent and yet unreligious manner. As she went about her duties whether it was cleaning, cooking, or just taking a walk, it was not at all unusual or unnatural for her to pray. These were never the kind of prayers meant for those who might overhear them but were simply heartfelt conversations she was comfortable having with her Friend and Savior. They included prayers of thanksgiving, intercession and praise. If you happened to be in need of prayer and were within earshot, it neither inhibited the conversation nor enhanced it. It would however, be comforting or convicting depending on one's condition at the time. She taught those around her by example that it is possible and indeed natural to pray without ceasing.
Joyce is mother to five children, all surviving: Carol (Steve) Ford of Hoquiam, Stan (Bonnie) Dickhoff of Lacey, Elaine (Dave) Farmer of Aberdeen, Alice (Gunter) Bertram of Montesano, and Dean (Jackie) Dickhoff of Hoquiam. Her grandchildren include Gerald (Geri) Ford of Hoquiam, Aaron (Amber) Hoff of Port Orchard, Stephanie (Dan) Rodrigues of Hoquiam, Dr. Rachel (Mark) Reeg of Lacey, Doug (Ranee) Farmer of Montesano, Dan (Karen) Farmer of Renton, Matthew Hoff of Tumwater, Andrew (Mandy) Hoff of Tumwater, Joel Dickhoff of Spokane and The Honorable Jasmine Dickhoff of Hoquiam. The current great-grandchildren count stands at fifteen. Her sister Birdie Cochran of Davenport, Washington also survives her. Her Husband, Reverend Donald Dickhoff and her brother, Ralph Turner preceded her in death.
The celebration of her life will be held on Friday, December 14, 2012.
A graveside service of internment at the Sunset Memorial Park in Hoquiam will be at 10:00 am, Friday, December 14, 2012.
A memorial service at 11:00 am, Friday, December 14, 2012 at Coleman Mortuary Chapel, 422 - 5th Street, Hoquiam, Washington 98550.
A reception for family and friends will be held at 12:30 PM at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, 400 East First Street, Aberdeen, Washington 98520.
Direction is by the Coleman Mortuary in Hoquiam.

Easily Distracted.
As the Official Photographer Babe of Our Ranch (not really, but yeah, kind of), I'm usually totally on task when it comes to following along with my camera. I'm always very careful to stay alert and pay close attention to all the goings on around me, because you just never know when something notable might go down.
It's not that I'm totally above becoming occasionally maybe slightly distracted…like last summer, for instance, when I was supposed to be taking pictures of everyone working cattle but happened to catch a glimpse of my shadow and decided to spend the rest of the morning delving into this brave new world of self-portraiture:
But that was then and this is now. I've matured a great deal since then. And I'm much farther along in my craft. As such, when it comes to my photography assignments, I conduct myself with the utmost seriousness and professionalism.
Yesterday we had to drive this herd of cattle over a mile down a paved road. I thought it would make for some great photos, so I fell behind the rest of the group in order to get the shots I wanted. It was a cool morning, and the steam rising from the warm animals created an ethereal, foggy effect.
But then. Suddenly. Something caught my eye. Something strange. Something out of the ordinary. Something…awesome.
It was a great big, hot, steaming pile of cow manure. I swear, in all my years of living on the ranch, I'd never, ever seen one of these before. It was impossible not to stare. I smiled and giggled and put my hand over my mouth and actually uttered out loud to myself, "Huh huh. Steaming cow poop! Huh huh." I knew the rest of the family was still driving the herd down the road and getting farther away by the moment, but I just couldn't help it. I was mesmerized, and before I knew it, my Nikon was pointed straight southward toward the pavement and I was snapping away at my new favorite photo subject—a big, fat, steaming turd. I tell you, it's all about the art.
And it got even better. I looked up to find a veritable mine field of steaming, delightful treasures. It was such a memorable moment; one I'm sure I'll never forget. I think what made it so special was that it lasted only a short time. Within a mere minute, the surface of the manure had cooled and the steam was gone forever.
And I just stood there, marveling at how lucky I am to live in the midst of such beauty.

I think I would have rather seen more cowboys. You are too funny Ree!! But you know what, I probably would have taken pictures of it too. ha! There's nothing like a good shot of steamy poop.
Donna W On Friday, February 23 at 6:07 am
I've taken pictures of aging cow crap with tiny toadstools growing out of them. I'd rather not get up close and personal with the fresh stuff. Besides, horse poop smells much better. Like a horse!
Julie On Friday, February 23 at 6:24 am
You are so funny! That is all I can say! Oh I loved the photos in yesterdays post. I was wondering when TK would make it to the big time (blog).
Yer pal On Friday, February 23 at 6:27 am
Man, you have all the luck! Congratulations!?
Charlotte On Friday, February 23 at 6:32 am
I think what's not fair (apart from your close proximity to cow poop and calf nuts – that's totally enviable) is that you can write AND take photographs. How to make a great post about Poo, by Ree. You have the skills AND you live amongst cowboys. Not fair. Just not fair.
Lisa On Friday, February 23 at 6:44 am
How I wish my mom had pictures of me and my friends having horse poop fights – throwing the hardened turd missles at the other team from either side of the huge manure pile.
Aaah, the memories. You've brought me back (once again).

One word – YUCK…
Heidi the Hick On Friday, February 23 at 6:59 am
Right on! The progressional ones are great- you can tell exactly what direction the steer was going by the way the plops fall on the road!!
Our horses love a good steaming manure pile. Nice place to take a nap. We should never underestimate the importance of s*** steam.

I won a "cow patty" throw one time. Still have the trophy with the actual patty sitting atop. Not sure how far one could sling one that's still smokin'.
TLCcamera On Friday, February 23 at 7:19 am
On point, there is a Russian fable that ends with the moral summary: The one who puts you in it is not necessarily your enemy, and the one who get you out is not necessarily your friend.
Now we can see what a warm pile if IT looks like on a cold morning. The folk tale seem more real now.
And now for the whole story:
A small bird was caught in a Russian winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some steaming dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing it out! The bird lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird in the pile of steaming dung, and promptly plucket it out and ate him!
Lessons to be Learned:
1. Not everyone who drops poop on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out is your friend.
3. And when you are in a warm deep pile, keep your mouth shut.

TLCCamera…great story!
sleepy jeanne On Friday, February 23 at 7:28 am
easily distracted is right…
This morning I thought to myself, "hmmm, should I walk the dogs or read Ree's blog?"
Well, the dogs were still asleep, so I decided to see what Ree's been up to. I fire up the 'puter, and I'm treated to a lovely blog entry all about turds. Just as I finish reading, there's a knock at the door…"Mom, the dog pooped in my room!"
Note to self: Always walk the dogs BEFORE hangin' with Pioneer Woman.
thanks Ree!
Lisa in MI On Friday, February 23 at 7:29 am
Not only have you channeled Scarlett O'Hara, Ethel Merman and Sylvia Plath, but you have also channeled "Beavis" from "Beavis and Butthead" w/ that laugh of yours:
"Huh huh. Steaming cow poop! Huh huh."
Well done! My nine year old daughter was fascinated with the poo, and jealous of your daughters!
Judy On Friday, February 23 at 7:33 am
Ya know what… with all the s**t that passes for modern art these days, you can frame these, sell them, and make a fortune [when you do, I want 10% for coming up with the idea first]

LOL. now I can really say "thats a steaming pile of $hit!" and know what im talking about. thanks for the visual….great post!
Donna On Friday, February 23 at 7:39 am
Heh heh, heh heh, she said turds! Leave it to PW to find the beauty in life's leftovers. The multi-turd shot is actually pretty, dare I say it,
artsy fartsy?
cecedon On Friday, February 23 at 7:48 am
OMG steaming poop invokes the gag reflex in me. Every single time one of my friends walks his/her dog and it poops, my eyes start watering and I start gagging. I just can't help it. Those steaming pictures are well, almost as bad. Thank goodness I don't have to keep looking at them. At least I didn't have to *smell* it too. But aside from my issues, you're post is hilarious, as usual. Really Ree you have such a great way with pictures and words.
dgm On Friday, February 23 at 7:53 am
that last one is strangely compelling, like the cows did it on purpose or something.
Peter On Friday, February 23 at 8:03 am
Hi Ree, I can lurk no longer, if those last two photos don't de-lurk you there just isn't any poetry in your soul, loving the whole blog.
Jenni in KS On Friday, February 23 at 8:14 am
I'm feeling much better this morning and this post did not phase me one bit, thankyouverymuch. (I still slept in late *just to be sure*.)
I can't believe you'd never seen a steaming pile of cow shit before! I've seen them many times and we don't have any cows. I do seem to have an odd fascination with things close to the ground, so maybe that's why I've noticed so much crap.
Don't think you are the first one to photograph it, either. My family says I am an amateur scatologist. Not only have I photographed cow and horse crap, I've photographed wild, unidentified scat for the purpose of later identifying it. A coin from my pocket photographed next to the pile of poo helps determine the size later.
Once, on a Scout trip to Elk City Lake near Independence (KS, not MO), I was fortunate enough to have someone with a track and scat guide and a similar interest with me. We found what we determined must be black bear scat. The only other possibility was raccoon, and that would've been one *massive* raccoon! A couple locals confirmed for us that there had been an occasional bear spotted in the area. We didn't find any Charmin near the pile, so we can't be certain. Cha-cha-cha!
Lauren E Dillon On Friday, February 23 at 8:14 am
Hey Ree, What a shitty post!

Art like beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
Or perhaps just in the beholder of the Nikon!
Stacie On Friday, February 23 at 9:24 am
rofl! You crack me up! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that photographs steamers!
Though I must say…I never posted the ones I took…you're my new hero!
Photogirl2 On Friday, February 23 at 9:35 am
Ree, great blog. Care to share a bit about your post processing of your pictures. I just love the colors you achieve.
Pamela On Friday, February 23 at 9:42 am
It looks like Willowtrees Vegemite. (served hot)
Love those shots of south end of cows headed north.
When you posted the shadow pictures, a co worker and I opened them at work and we had a giggle meltdown. tears and pinching
Our boss came around and said what is so funny. She scrunched up her face and shrugged her shoulders. I guess she just didn't get it.
Mee Too On Friday, February 23 at 9:51 am
Hard to resist the temptation to bring the subject of politicians up for some reason.
Shelly Schmelzle On Friday, February 23 at 10:09 am
Thanks for making me chuckle out loud today. I grew up in Kansas on a ranch/farm but am now a city girl. However, I will always love the country and long for it daily. Nothing like a steaming pile of cow manure to bring back memories!! Makes me want to head for home, in fact sine I'm supposed to be in Houston for a girls weekend and my flights all got delayed so much that it wasn't worth it to make the trip, maybe I just will!
sasha On Friday, February 23 at 10:14 am
I'm glad this post didn't end up being about how to use cow poop steam to open the pores for a Pioneer Woman Facial!
Nan On Friday, February 23 at 10:20 am
Wow. This gives me hope. Hope that one of my children might actually turn out to be as good a photographer as you…
Last week we set them free with my old camera and were pleasantly surprised by the perspective… and then all at once horrified when we saw about three pictures taken in succession of a lone large log of poop. It was truly disturbing. The next picture in line was a close up of the toilet paper.
I posted a slide show a few days ago if you want to see their "skills." (said in my best Napolean Dynamite voice.)
But I have to admit, I was equally mezmerized the first time I took my dog out to poop in the -30 temperatures a few weeks ago. She was steaming from both ends. (lovely imagery isn't it… at least I didn't bring my camera though.)
Missy On Friday, February 23 at 10:24 am
your a nut lol..but a good nut and only slightly cracked lol
Kristi On Friday, February 23 at 10:35 am
Of course that kind of beauty is in the eye of the pooper, I mean beholder.

Ree – you are so silly. I wish I lived near you so we could be photo-takin', giggling good friends.
Lynne On Friday, February 23 at 11:26 am
Your blog has really got me thinkin' this morning…I'm glad my monitor doesn't emit odors (too bad for the cake/lasagna posts)! Also, what "mode of transportation" do you use for following cowboys, cows, poop, etc.? Do you ride a horse, a 4-wheeler, or maybe just strap on your boots and yoga pants and giddyup? Please tell!
leann On Friday, February 23 at 11:28 am

I'm – uh – just wondering something. Once those steamers have all dried out – does the family enjoy cow-patty [cow-pie, cow-chip] throwing contests?
Actually, what do you call them once they're dry? My granddad (a farmer – he's 97 and still plowing!) calls them cow patties.
That would make some awesome photos – even if sans ethereal steam.

Holy @#^*! Great series. I can totally relate to the fascination in what might otherwise be absurd. My wife bought me my first dSLR for Christmas. I fondly refer to it as THE gift. I'm taking about 100 shots a day with it and many of mine are just as "bizarre". I digress though. There is something about looking through the world through a lens, eh; it's almost like being a kid discovering the world all over again. Once I get back to civilization (Easter) I'm going to get at least one more lens and a good photo suite.
Cheryl On Friday, February 23 at 9:51 pm
I have to admit I've been lurking here for a few days now. I find your life fascinating, the pictures you take are beautiful, and I can enjoy your humor.
You have really outdone yourself on these "piles" pictures to see the beauty in them!! LOL
Pioneer Woman On Friday, February 23 at 9:58 pm
I'm just so glad I didn't make anyone upchuck today! Or maybe I did and I just haven't heard from them yet.
I can't believe how many of you have up close and personal experiences with cow poop, particularly the sport of tossing cow patties. I'll have to look into adding that event to the annual Easter Extravaganza at our house!
Sleepy Jeanne, I am CRACKING up. Dying. Oh, and I'm sorry. Moral of the story: don't ever choose me over anything else in your life. I'm not worth it.
Jenni in KS. Um. Um. Just…um. I love you, woman.
Photogirl2…I'll be doing a Photoshop "lesson/post" really soon. Feel free to email me, too. Post processing is quickly becoming my life.
Lynn, today I rode in the Rhino, which is basically an all-terrain vehicle. Sometimes I follow along in my Suburban with my little guy if it's cold. Sometimes I'm horseback. Sometimes I'm at home in bed, sucking my thumb.
Loved hearing from you guys. I'm so glad my post about bovine fecal matter touched you on a deep level.
Did I just write "fecal matter?" I'm going to bed, man.

Hey, if you do incorporate the cow patty contest at Easter and post punk ass photos, be sure to give me some credit or an honorable mention for suggesting it – seeing as it's a down-home honorable sport and all, and I never win anything.

Here's the official boxscore and play by play.
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Everything could have been fixed for the Wildcats if Derrick Williams had hit anything close to his usual 82 percent from the free throw line against Oregon State.
But Williams went 3-for-10 and thus exposed what Sean Miller found a basic lack of toughness.
The Wildcats didn't get to the free-throw line as much as the Beavers and were unable to grab more than five offensive boards, two facts that gnawed away at Miller as much as anything.
"If we shot the ball better from the line the outcome could have been different and probably would have been," Miller said. "But that's not the whole story. I think 17 points that Oregon State scored off the second shots talks about how they're a very aggressive, athletic, deep team.
"One of the things we've talked about getting better at is offensive rebounding. And right now, we're not getting any productivity on second shots."
UA had just two points total on second shots, and only two offensive rebounds from the starting lineup. Jamelle Horne, who lost his starting job in part because he didn't offensive rebound well, had two offensive boards in 16 minutes Sunday.
Meanwhile, the guy who had the most impressive second shot of the night was OSU's Jared Cunningham, who may have opened a few eyes with his athleticism. Cunningham soared through the lane to pick up a rebound off Joe Burton's miss and slam it in with such force that he fell backward and skidded down the baseline on his rear all the way to the Beaver bench.
Cunningham's slam can be found on the YouTube video embedded in this Oregonian story and the Corvallis Gazette-Times story also discusses the impact of Cunningham's slam.
OSU coach Craig Robinson noted something different in UA's standout forward/center.
"Derrick Williams is taller than he was last year," Robinson said. "I'm not kidding. Last year when they were talking about him being a pro, and they said `Well, he's undersized,' he's no longer undersized. He looks 6-9 now. That's a bigger, faster team than they were last year."
Here's our coverage from the game: The game story, some notes through the first half, and a photo gallery.
UA will travel home this afternoon and have two days to prepare for Stanford, a day less than usual because of the Sunday night game and travel home.
"It's hard," Miller said. "That's why Sunday games don't favor the team that plays on Sunday especially if it's a team that left on Wednesday morning."

When I was first TTC, I lost my first three pregnancies around the 9 week mark. My doctor wanted to do surgery to find out the problem which I didn't agree with, so I fired him and did my own research. I decided that it was most likely either a clotting issue or a progesterone issue, so with my fourth pregnancy, I began using a natural progesterone cream and took one 80mg baby aspirin each day.
After hiring a midwife team, they told me both were a great idea and to continue until 12-13 weeks gestation which I did. I ended up with a beautiful and healthy girl. That was a little over 3 years ago.
Now we are probably about to have another, but I was wondering if progesterone and clotting issues were something that tend to be permanent with the mother or if it could possibly fix itself after a first pregnancy. I don't know anything about it and everything I read about it doesn't go on to say whether it happens again after any number of successful pregnancies.
Anybody have any experience at all? I don't know if I should wait it out and see or if I should just start taking aspirin and progesterone just in case. I hate the idea of taking something if I'm not sure, but I also hate to think about losing a pregnancy just to find out.
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
First, Congratulations on your baby girl! That is awesome that you were able to conceive and carry to term with having these issues. I have had RPL testing done - repeated pregnancy loss - testing because we have had a total of 6 miscarriages with one live birth. I have both issues and I also have PCOs.
If you are able to control the clotting and progesterone issues naturally or without the help of PIO or Lovenox, heparin, I definitely would follow that. If you are not able to carry with doing it naturally I would look at doing some RPL testing to see if you may need further help.
I have APA and MTHFR, (antiphospholipid antibodies and elevated homocysteine levels - my body does not utilize the folic acid as it should) so I had to be on Lovenox injections to have my son.
Good luck to you. I hope you are able to achieve the sibling for your baby girl!
Thanks! I've decided to wait with the first pregnancy and see how I do (since it is entirely possible that it was just bad luck last time). If I lose the next pregnancy, then I'll take it from there and likely go back on the aspirin and progesterone.
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
I realize that your last post was back in July, but I would really encourage you NOT to forego the same regimen that you used during your successful pregnancy. Even better, you really should go get tested for clotting issues. If you have a clotting issue you are more likely to have blood clots when you are pregnant (which can be life threatening) and you are more likely to miscarry. I have Factor V Leiden (heterzygous) and have had four miscarriages and one success. With my successful pregnancy, I took certain vitamins and drank grape juice until 12 weeks and then started baby aspirin. Although I understand now that baby aspirin can be taken in the first 12 weeks??? Double check that. I have also read that baby aspirin is not supposed to be effective for Factor V Leiden, so maybe I was lucky. But please, go get checked.
Oh, I aslo took progesterone (natural) though 13 weeks with my successful preganancy, and it looks like progesterone can help reduce the clotting effects of estrogen.
Yes, baby aspirin (80 mg aspirin) can be taken in early pregnancy. With my last pregnancy (which resulted in a fantastically healthy mama and baby after 3 consecutive losses), I took one 80 mg aspirin per day. This regimen was okayed by both of my midwives and my OB who said it was fine for me to try it. I took it alongside the natural (wild yam cream) progesterone until about 12 or 13 weeks.

GOSEN AK Pro 17G Tennis String Natural
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Gosen AK Pro 17G is a high-performance synthetic gut that uses a composite micro-fiber technology combined with a special nylon and co-polymer island process. Gosen states that this process increases the dynamic elasticity and its resiliency which translates to more power and control while reducing the amount of shock from ball impact. The special outer soft coating further adds in reducing the shock upon ball impact. The 17G offers good playability and feel with slightly more spin but sacrifices some durability over its 16G counterpart. Gosen AK Pro 17G is a great string for players looking for a soft feeling string that offers exceptional playability.
Composition: Umishima Structured Mono-Fliament with a Special Soft Coating
Color: Natural
Gauge: 17G (1.22mm)
Length: 40ft

Shane Warne has backed Jackson Bird to earn his Test debut in the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka.
The Tasmanian pace bowler was called up for the first time after Ben Hilfenhaus suffered a side strain in the first Test and Warne believes he will get the nod because Australia will not want to select two left-armers in Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson.
Sure, he's going to be a little bit nervous - so you should be - but I think he'll fit right in and do a great job.Shane Warne
Sure, he's going to be a little bit nervous - so you should be - but I think he'll fit right in and do a great job.
Warne is Bird's captain at the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, and has seen enough of the 26-year-old to be confident he can make the step up to international cricket.
"Jackson Bird's been fantastic for us," Warne said. "He's got a great temperament, I think he'll fit in there fine [with the Test team].
"Sure, he's going to be a little bit nervous - so you should be - but I think he'll fit right in and do a great job."
Bird has been in outstanding form in the Sheffield Shield, having taken 27 wickets at an average of 20.56. The seamer has a superb record at the MCG, having claimed 14 wickets at an average of 12.07 in his two Shield matches there.
Warne said: "I think he'll open the bowling on Boxing Day. I don't think Australia will go with two left-armers.
"I think Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson both leak runs, can both take wickets but both go for a few too many runs, so [captain] Michael Clarke will want to have a little bit of control.
"I think someone like a Jackson Bird bowling at the MCG [would be ideal]. He knows the conditions well, he bowls a perfect length for the MCG wicket.
"I think he'll get the nod and I think he'll open the bowling, which will be a huge thrill for him and it will be great for the Stars to have another player playing for Australia. It'll be a good Chrissy present for him."
Australia are 1.61 to beat Sri Lanka in the second Test, with the tourists available at 6.00. Jackson Bird is 5.50 to be Australia's top first innings bowler.

Video:How to Balance Chemical Equationswith Bulk Item
The key to balancing chemical equations is remembering that you need to end up with the same number of atoms that you start with. This video will give you a brief tutorial on balancing chemical equations.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Balance Chemical Equations
Hi, today we're going to learn how to balance a chemical equation.
Unbalanced Chemical Equation
Al + CuSO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3Cu
On the left hand side of a chemical equation we write our reactants, or the chemicals that we start with. In this case, we are starting out with copper II sulfate and aluminum. It's important to note the state of matter for our substances. In this example, we need to write a subscript (s) next to the aluminum to denote a solid, and an (aq) next to the copper II sulfate, since it's dissolved in water.
On the right hand side of the equation, we write down our products, or what we'll have after the reaction is over. In this reaction, the aluminum will displace the copper ion and kick it out of the solution to form copper metal.
Al (s) + CuSO4 (aq) → Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + Cu (s)
Identifying Number of Atoms in Equation
The skeleton of our reaction is there, but the equation is not yet balanced. We have 1 aluminum on the left side of the equation and 2 on the right; and 1 sulfate on the left and 3 on the right. But the conservation of mass law states that we need to end up with the same amount of atoms that we started with.
Begin by Balancing Compounds
It is easier to balance the lone atoms, so we'll save those for last, and start with balancing the sulfate ion. The sulfate is featured on both sides of the equation, so we can treat it as a single unit, rather than break up into the individual atoms. Because we have three sulfates on the right side, the left side of the equation also needs to have three. So we'll put 3 in front of the entire compound "copper II sulfate". Note we can't put the 3 as a subscript, because that would completely change the chemical formula, and we wouldn't have copper II sulfate any longer.
Al (s) + 3CuSO4 (aq) → Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + Cu (s)
Balance Lone Atoms in Equation
Because a 3 is now in front of the copper II sulfate, we now have 3 molecules of this substance. Where there was 1 copper atom, we now have 3. On the right, however, we still have only 1 copper. So we'll need to put a large 3 in front of the copper metal here.
Al (s) + 3CuSO4 (aq) → Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 3Cu (s)
Now both the copper and the sulfate are balanced, but we're not done yet! We still have to balance the aluminum. Since the right hand side has 2 aluminums, we need to also have 2 aluminums on the left, so we'll write a large 2 in front of the aluminum.
2Al (s) + 3CuSO4 (aq) → Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + Cu (s)
And this is how you balance a chemical equation. For more information, please visit us at About.com.

The angelfish, Pterophyllum altum, is a rare fish with coloration similar to that of the barred knifejaw. It can be found in the river and appears between 4 PM to 9 AM from the months of May to October. It sells for a decent price of 3,000 Bells.
In the Gamecube games it has a small shadow, equal to that of a crucian carp or sweetfish.
Donating to the Museum
As with all fish caught in Animal Crossing series, the angelfish can be donated to the museum by talking Blathers.
In Animal Crossing
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"Gorgeous. Sim-ply gorgeuous. Heavenly, even. We will treasure your gift. I give you my word as an honest, upstanding owl."
It can be found in the bottom-right tank, along with most other rare river fish.
In Wild World
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"The angelfish is called the queen of tropical fish, and quite rightly so, eh wot! Indeed, this one should bring a ray of sunshine to this dusty old museum! However serene these fish may look, they're actually rather feisty...Every rose has its thorn, isn't that what they say?"
It can be found in the second tank, after donating it to museum.
In City Folk
Upon donation, Blathers the curator will say:
"The distinctive shape of the angelfish lets it appear larger than it actually is. ...It's quite beautiful, and though it is a tropical fish, it has many tricks for staying alive, eh wot? Those skills make it far more resilient than other, pampered tropical fish. Perhaps this fact is what earned the angelfish the title "Tropical Fish Queen." "
It can be found in the bottom-left tank with the coral in it with other small river fish.
In New Leaf
In New Leaf, an information board in the aquarium will list information about this fish.
"These tropical fish move very gracefully because of long fins on their backs and underbellies. Males and females are almost impossible to tell apart, making identification tricky. They lay eggs among water plants. Both genders look after the babies while they cling to weeds. The young look like any other fish, but they gain their angelfish looks once they leave the weeds."
Encyclopedia Information
Animal Forest
| "Angelfish"
Wild World
| ''Their tall fins discourage predators."
City Folk
| ''These tall fish extend their fins to make themselves look big to predators."
New Leaf
Further informationPterophyllum altum, or Altum Angelfish, as they are also known, grow larger than how they are represented in the game; in fact the distance between the tip of its dorsal fin to its back fin can exceed 50cm. It originates from South America, in the river basins of the Amazon River, Orinoco River, and Essequibo Rivers. They are ambush predators, meaning they hide behind roots and attack on small fish when they least suspect it. Their small bodies and striped coloration makes it easy for them to hide. They are monogamous, which means they only have one partner throughout their lifetime with which they lay eggs. It likes weak acidic water, with a pH of about 4.5 to 6.
Pterophyllum means "Winged (Ptero) Leaf (phyllum)". Pterophyllum altum is the national fish of Venezuela and an image of the fish appears on some currency bills of that country.

Superstorm's Toll Could Reach $20 Billion
By editor
Originally published on Tue October 30, 2012 11:20 am
NPR's business news starts with a preliminary price tag for Sandy.
INSKEEP: OK. The early projections estimate economic losses from the storm that has pounded the Eastern United States could reach up to $20 billion. That's according to analysis from one insurance industry firm. Beyond the physical damage, this takes into account the shutting down of New York City's financial district, also the shutting down of oil refineries, and thousands of stores and businesses.

Peanut Butter Pop-Tart Bars
The perfect no bake summer treat! These Peanut Butter Pop-Tart Bars are sandwiched with Peanut Butter Poptarts and filled with a soft chocolate toffee filling and are totally addicting!
Hello peanut butter and chocolate? Yes, I am so addicted to you.
Also? I am now addicted to these:
Before we went to Disneyland I did a little snack shopping and came across these Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts. Oh. My. Heck. People! Have you tried them yet?
Wait, yes, you need to get them. One, because this recipe is the bomb but two, these are the bomb-diggity. Pop-Tarts are for breakfast. These taste like a peanut butter cookie. So you can eat peanut butter cookies for breakfast.
And because Facebook and the general everyone loves peanut butter and chocolate so much together, I posted cinnamon rolls last week, this today, and I've got another peanut butter recipe for you next week.
You can thank me later.
Last weekend I went to a mom's night at a friend's house. I said I'd bring dessert…obvi. And I wanted something easy and no bake, because, really. It's been a bajillion degrees here and I paid $387 for A/C in June. My oven is off limits on 95+ days.
I was totally indecisive and surfing all over the internet when I found these. And immediately the clouds parted and angels sang and the box of Pop Tarts in my pantry jumped into my lap.
And I made these Peanut Butter Pop-Tart Bars.
Best. Bars. EVERRRR.
They start with Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts, but really, you could use any flavor.
You really need 12, but I used 10. I had already eaten 2. Oink. Oink.
Sugar, butter, milk, and an egg gets cooked together until it boils. Then you mix in graham cracker crumbs and chocolate and get this gooey deliciousness. Once it cools you spread it over the Pop-Tarts and sandwich them with more Pop-Tarts. Cool and cut.
Pure Fabulousness.
I took the tray to the party. I ate one and I left them there. I got a text the next day that my friend could not stop eating them. No one could – it's PB&C. How could you not eat 12?
Seriously. Go buy Peanut Butter Pop-Tarts. Make these bars.
You're welcome!
Peanut Butter Poptarts are filled with a soft chocolate toffee mixture for a delicious no bake treat! {Recipe adapted from Cookies & Cups.}
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup nonfat milk
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (I used a box, grind if you have regular grahams)
- 2 cups (1 package) chocolate chips, divided (I used milk chocolate)
- 12 Peanut Butter Poptarts
- Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add sugar, milk, and egg. Stir constantly so the egg doesn't scramble, for about 20 seconds (or until mixture is combined). Bring to a full boil, stirring occasionally, just a few minutes. Remove from heat and stir in graham cracker crumbs and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- While the mixture is cooling, line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with foil. Lay out 6 of your poptarts flat on the bottom of the cookie sheet, two rows of three poptarts. (I used 5 for each layer, not 6, because I ate one pack before starting. If you use 5 for each layer, as in the photo, do two rows of 2 1/2 poptarts each).
- Once mixture is cooled, pour it over the layer of poptarts. Spread with an offset spatula to reach the ends of the rectangle. It will spill over, but that's okay. Try to keep the spilling over to a minimum, but it's okay if some spills over. I kept one finger pressing on the edge of the poptart layer as I spread the mixture, so they didn't move.
- Top the chocolate mixture with the remaining poptarts, mirroring the bottom layer. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until hardened, about 4 hours.
- When ready to cut, remove from refrigerator. Remove plastic wrap and slice into bars, (about 12 columns and two rows).
- Melt remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave. Add to a sandwich bag and snip off the tip. Add swirls of chocolate to the top of the bars, for decoration.
I used a box of graham cracker crumbs for this, because I was lazy. You can also grind some in your food processor instead.

Dorothy, these are mouth watering. I mean, are you kidding me right know? Such amazing flavors and peanut butter pop tarts!! Must go out and find those now!! In awe over these!! Way to go, Dorothy!
OMG…amazing! I'm totally drooling for these right now! 😉
I'm going to have to name a section of the binder I keep my favorite recipes in just for you. ….appetizers, main dishes, Crazy for Crust, other desserts. Seriously, every single recipe I try of yours is a winner…even if I can't roll a Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll to save my life, they still tasted great! These look so incredibly good and I can't wait to try them!!!
OMG…I just had two of these PB PopTarts for breakfast! It's a "gym day" after all. I had the kind with the chocolate glaze. Let's just say, "hello, lover…" I don't know why PT's hadn't "Gone Nutty" sooner. And, the gold packaging is almost Willy Wonka-esq. You gotta know something special waits!
There's a peanut butter Pop Tart!?! Oh My! These bars look sooOOooo over the top good! I love that you made them no bake too because my oven isn't going to be seeing action any time soon thanks to the heat. I think I need to go shopping!
I love that these are no bake, AND I just love them because they are peanut butter and chocolatey!! Soooo YUM!
Such a great idea and gets in my peanut butter fill… I love these bars!
Wow. Pb&C is the best and these bars look awesome! That filling has me drooling.
Seriously so glad for foods that pop into your lap! Then we get this! Oh yeah!
I saw these on instagram while I was at church and couldn't wait to come back home for the post! Peanut butter and chocolate in a no- bake bar is almost guaranteed to be a winner!
Oh my girl, girl! You done lost your mind! These look ridiculously amazing! I can't stop using exclamation marks! I really hate the Pop Tarts makers for using palm oil because I so want to try these. I'm definitely pinning this recipe in hopes that I can find good ingredients.
Pingback: bit.ly
I bought both kinds of pb poptarts but haven't yet decided what to make out of them. Love this!
These are super unique! I love how inventive they are.
Great idea!
Best use ever of a pre-made item that turns into something else. I've seen good stuff with a can of crescent rolls but you have taken the cake with using poptarts as your 'crusts'. Geninus, Dorothy!
And that filling! Omg.
And the fact that this whole thing is one big sea of PB + chocolate. Music to my ears! Pinned!
As if I didn't already LOVE Poptarts … a no bake peanut butter chocolate made with them?! Divine!
Oh my Dorothy, these look delicious! I have to try and make these! I so miss coming over here each day! I will be back on social media next month!
No freaking way. I can't believe 1) they make PEANUT BUTTER POPTARTS!!! (where has this been my whole life?) and 2) you put them in these way awesome bars (where have THEY been all my life?!?!?! Pinned!
Genius! Plain and simply the best idea ever!
Oh my gosh- PB pop tarts? Get out! My favorite is brown sugar, which I refuse to buy in fear that I will eat the whole box. These look so fun! I love easy no bake treats.
My oven to off limit too. It's too damn hot! The filling looks spectacular, I haven't had a pop tart in years but I think that should change after seeing these bars!!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this. Without reading the title all I saw was a stuffed piecrust with peanut butter! Brilliant! This is a fabulous recipe! There is nothing better than peanut butter!!!!
I am so excited about this recipe Dorothy! I am smitten with those peanut butter poptarts. The filling looks delicious!
Oh my! These look amazing! Such a clever idea to make over the pop tart!
Hmmm, haven't seen those in the store! LOVE that you made a dessert using poptarts!
A.MA.ZING! I'm not a big fan of pop tarts, but you can be sure I'm adding them to this week's grocery list. Will be trying these for my visiting grandkids next week. What a super cool idea! They look mouth-watering!
What a great idea! My kids would love these!
That filling looks like total heaven! I've seen these PB pop tarts at the store and I wondered if they were any good.You've convinced them that I HAVE to get them now!
What a fantastic idea, Dorothy!! Using poptarts as a pastry crust is genius! Though, this flavor combo will forever be the best, I see a future pinterest universe flooded with variations on this! No-bake, adorable, and delicious….what could be better?!
Sooo, can I make a brown sugar poptart recipe request?
YUM! These are unbelievable. I didn't even know there were Peanut Butter Pop Tarts!!
Well who could say no to these!? They sound fantastic! 😀
So we are doing a 5 day juicing detox.. Its probably best not to swing by you blog!! Killing us over here..
I must respectfully disagree wholeheartedly. We just brought a box of these pop tarts, as well as the cookies and cream ones, back from the US on our vacation south. I thought we were really missing out by not having these flavours in Canada, me being a real peanut butter fan. Was I wrong!
The cookies and cream Pop Tarts were passable, but the peanut butter ones tasted like fourth rate peanut butter between cardboard.
I'm glad your commenters seem to like the final results. At least we are enjoying the Diet Cherry Pepsi we brought back. I see Cherry Coke in your IG account, so we agree on that.
I can not remember the last time I saw such a tasty treat!! Totally Drool Worthy!
Shut. The. Front. Door!!!! These look ridiculous! For real, you make a lot of amazing stuff that has me drooling, but I would probably sell one of my kids for a box of these. Just sayin.
WOW. This is crazy.
Now you have me thinking. Let's say you chill down these bars, dip them in cake batter, and then deep fry them. I'm just daydreaming a bit. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
WOW! When I was a kid, I used to love the frosted brownie pop tarts. I had no idea they made peanut butter pop tarts! They really do think of everything. I love your take on the recipe because peanut butter & chocolate is pretty much the best flavor combo ever!
BTW — Are you coming to Chicago soon?? I thought you said there was a chance of you coming with the fam in August…??? Or was I just dreaming??!!
Oh my goodness these sound FANTASTIC!!!! What a great idea, the bars look so good with that filling!!! YUM!!!
Oh these look FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and gorgeous photos with us at the Inspiration Monday party Dorothy
xo, Tanya
GOOD HEAVENS. That's all I have to say!
Holy sweet mother of Pete!! I could probably finish that whole pan by myself!! You are a genius! 😉
Oh my god, pop-tarts on steroids. I must have these!
Whaaa? PB Poptarts!?
and these bars? STOP IT. SO GOOD
Well I am pretty sure the PB poptarts are not in Canada but next time I am in the US I will look for them. What a cool idea!!
That is one awesome way to make something great even better!! This sounds like something I need to try immediately!
Dorothy- How fun are these! Love this great idea and all those layers! YUM!
Dorothy, you're hilarious! I still remember when you first posted a picture on Instagram of these Poptarts. And how I drooled. And then avoided the breakfast cereal aisle because I knew I'd have no self-control when I saw these. And now… You added chocolate and made them completely over-the-top. I don't know whether to love you or be super annoyed! (There goes my summer bikini figure… 😉 )
How cool are these??!! You always find the coolest things. I haven't seen PB Pop Tarts but I'm on a hunt. They look yummy and with chocolate? Duh. I'll have 12!
Oh Dorothy! These look so amazing!!! Oh my goodness!
These sound so yummy and I love that they are no bake!
Ah, man I totally bought the wrong ones. I tried the PB Chocolate ones and thought they were gross. Gotta go back for these!! Love the creative recipe you made with them.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2012 President Barack Obama traveled to Afghanistan to sign the strategic partnership agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and to reinforce the level of American commitment to the country, a senior administration official traveling with him said today.
A senior administration official speaking on background from Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan told reporters in a conference call that U.S. government officials negotiated with their Afghan colleagues for 20 months to hammer out the agreement. Both presidents had a goal of signing the agreement before the NATO summit in Chicago later this month, the official added.
The agreement governs the relationship between the two countries after the last U.S. combat troops leave Afghanistan at the end of 2014.
"The agreement details how the partnership will be normalized as the war draws to a responsible end," the official said. "Just as we did in Iraq, we're focused on building an enduring partnership with Afghanistan that strengthens Afghan sovereignty, stability and prosperity, while advancing our shared goals of defeating al-Qaida and contributing to the security of the region."
The agreement, he noted, comes on the heels of strong progress toward U.S. goals in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is dead, killed exactly a year ago. Coalition, and increasingly, Afghan forces are taking the fight to the enemy.
"We believe that we have put al-Qaida on the path to defeat, and the effort today helps ensure the long-term security of Afghanistan," the official said.
The president's plan to responsibly end the war in Afghanistan and build a long-term relationship with the country has five elements, the official said:
-- To transition to Afghan lead by the end of 2014;
-- To train Afghan security forces to provide for the security of Afghanistan;
-- To build an enduring partnership with Afghanistan;
-- To pursue reconciliation in Afghanistan; and
-- To promote regional security.
The transition to Afghan control already is under way, the official pointed out, and half the Afghan people live in areas where Afghan security forces are in the lead or moving into the lead.
"At the Chicago summit, the coalition will set the goal to have Afghan forces in the lead across the country by next year," the official said. U.S. and coalition forces will train and assist the Afghans, but will step into a combat role only if needed, he added.
U.S. and coalition forces are training Afghans to get the job done. This year, those forces will reach 352,000 Afghan soldiers and police, and the Afghans will sustain that level for a number of years. In Chicago, NATO and its allies and the Afghans will examine the long-term number of troops and police.
The strategic partnership agreement lets the Afghans know that the United States will support them for 10 years after the last American troops leave the country, the official said. "We will continue to work with the Afghans to determine our level of support for their security forces," said he added.
The coalition is pursuing Afghan-led reconciliation, the official told reporters. Afghan and U.S. leaders tell the Taliban that they can be part of a democratic Afghanistan if they break with al-Qaida and support the Afghan constitution, he said. There has been some success in reconciliation, he added, but those who refuse this reconciliation know they have to contend with strong Afghan security forces, backed by the United States and its allies."
Pakistan can be an equal partner in building an international consensus for the region, the official said. "We have made it clear that the United States has no designs beyond the defeat of al-Qaida and respect for Afghan sovereignty," he said.
Beyond 2014, the U.S. will be focused on two narrow missions: counterterrorism efforts, if it's necessary to target al-Qaida, – and continued training of Afghan security forces inside Afghanistan, the official said.

Letter to the Editor: The perpetually angry Leonard Pitts
CORPUS CHRISTI - Carolyn Sulsberger, Port Aransas
The perpetually angry Leonard Pitts
RE: "A new GOP or just a cosmetic makeover?" Feb. 12
It seems the perpetually angry and sanctimonious Leonard Pitts is again railing against those of us who dare have a problem with indiscriminate killing of the unborn, and who believe marriage between a man and women is not only scriptural, but also for the common good of a society.
It must be a real burden for Mr. Pitts to look over the beam in his eye and explain the faults of the opposition party, worrying whether the conservatives will change their ways enough to fall in to line with his thinking.
There is hope. Mr. Pitts' understanding of others' "need for evolution" is surely not the way.

Sometimes the best birthday gifts are purchased by yourself. I realised this when I fell in love with Cheval Surprise – a silk square from Comme des Carrés, Hermès' collaboration with Comme des Garçons – and handed over my dosh. Pearly white and jet black, it implies riders in a storm of ink blots, while the addition of rayon gingham reminds that Rei rules, OK.
Oddly enough I met the enigmatic Japanese empress in New York with John Malkovich in the mid-80s. I just knew who Kawakubo was. She certainly had no interest in who I was. And Malkovich, who possesses a perverse sense of humour, was amused by our stilted exchange. "Talk about rude," I spluttered afterwards. However, being older and wiser, I now realise that people like Kawakubo lack the time for niceties. It clouds their creative landscape.
Besides, she is too important to dismiss. Kawakubo remains one of fashion's brilliant warriors who follows her moods, throws down the gauntlet every season and sticks out a defiant tongue at market research.
"Kawakubo remains one of fashion's brilliant warriors who follows her moods, throws down the gauntlet every season and sticks out a defiant tongue at market research."
"Live free with strong will" is scrawled across another Hermès scarf that shows dressage horses, kitted up in their finery. Apparently, the line is one of Kawakubo's favourite expressions. Still, in spirit, I feel that it suits Hermès too. For over 175 years the French fashion house has been adamant about maintaining the quality, whether it's the boldness of the shade or softness of the leather lining.
Even after my parents divorced, my mother continued to buy my father's Hermès agenda refill for him. Thoroughly chuffed, he always said, "it's the best Christmas present in the world being practical and elegant." And I rather feel the same about my new scarf.
