Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
Little G has moved into his own room. Weeee! (that's the sound of me dancing with joy). He now has his own little space. Completely baby proofed, warmer than our room and a place for all his books. Fantastic.
For me, that means I have half of my bedroom back. Half of my closet back!!! That's the biggest excitement for me. Right now my clothes live in 3 feet of closet bar and 2 drawers and mostly on the floor in front of the closet to be honest.
His room came out perfectly. It's his own little space and we can tell he really likes it. Before he wasn't even allowed down the hall as D's office wasn't safe for him. Now though, he wobble walks his way down the hall and sits down to flip through his books. It's a wonderful feeling.
D's office has moved down to the basement which is working out fantastically. I'm not sure how it will be in the winter, but we'll find out soon enough.
Here are some photos of this wonderful wonderful room.

Your 'Elf on the Shelf' is about to get a new gig; birthday book coming soon
TULSA, Okla. - Ask the business world and "Elf on the Shelf" is a multi-million dollar book/doll phenomenon. Ask kids, like Hannah and Mia Wright, and you get a different story.
"It's an elf, and he's like magical," said Mia.
"You know, our elf, he just has a mind of his own," said Hannah.
Around the holidays, the elf gets into a little trouble, while he's supposed to be keeping an eye on Santa, so says the book.
Parents around the world post pictures to social media of their elves drinking mom's Starbucks, getting into the toilet paper rolls or taking a drive in the Barbie car.
"Every day he is going online reading Facebook, Twitter, trying to come up with new ideas to make the girls laugh," said the girls' mom, Mollie Wright.
The elf's shenanigans are part of a tradition that co-author Chanda Bell grew up on.
"There was no vision of starting a business or turning into what has truly become a centerpiece of Christmas tradition," said Bell.
More than six million copies of the book have sold. Every year, since the release in 2005, the authors have seen a 70% growth in sales.
And as if all the elves haven't wreaked enough havoc around the house, Elf on the Shelf: Birthday Edition hits stores this week. The birthday edition comes with a little cupcake outfit for the elf. But no elf -- which means you've got to buy the first book.
But, with priceless reactions.. for many families, it's more than worth the cost.
You know what they say. Happy elf, happy self?

Egypt has no religious liberty, Coptic attorney charges
Catholic World News - January 13, 2010
Religious freedom is virtually non-existent in Egypt, a Christian lawyer has charged in the wake of murderous Christmas-eve attack on Copts. Caroline Doss, herself a Coptic Christian, points to "a huge difference between the way the laws are applied to Christians and Muslims." The government's failure to prosecute Islamic extremists for acts of violence against Christians is "inexcusable," she said.

Roger Federer leaps in an attempt to play a return against Novak Djokovic during their Wimbledon final Sunday in London.
- Filed Under
In 2011, Novak Djokovic was nearly unbeatable. He kicked off the season with a 41-match winning streak, won three of the four Grand Slams and went 70-6.
It tormented him. Suddenly, he couldn't cross the finish line. He continued to play deep into majors but looked like a man wrestling with himself. He had lost his last three major finals.
On Sunday, Djokovic buried his recent Grand Slam failures by holding off Roger Federer 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 5-7, 6-4 to win his second Wimbledon title in four years and his seventh major overall. ...

Just four years ago, Michael Phelps was god of the swimming world -- 8 Olympic gold medals and all. Now, he comes in fourth in the 400 meter, and well behind Lochte! But the potential shocker: a 16 year old girl -- in the final 50-meter spurt of her own 400-meter race -- actually clocked faster than the both of them! Very impressive!
Edited by ben2world on 07/30/2012 14:45:37 MDT.
'Roids.Or hollow bones.
Maybe, but probably not. In any case, pump me up with 'roids and I still can't beat Phelps. Sigh...
Edited by ben2world on 07/30/2012 15:31:35 MDT.
Ben, Phelps may embarrass you in the pool but Ben vs Phelps on the PCT - my $ would be on Ben.
David, When I first read your "roids" comment it didn't make sense to me. All I could think of was "hemorrhoids". How, I wondered, would this help a person swim faster? This morning, perhaps with a clearer mind, I figured out what you were talking about. Daryl
"How, I wondered, would this help a person swim faster?"By acting as ballast, keeping your butt higher in the water, perhaps? I don't know, I'm just speculating here, trying to answer the question.....
"Phelps may embarrass you in the pool but Ben vs Phelps on the PCT - my $ would be on Ben."Thanks. I am flattered. But don't actually bet it -- there are much better ways to blow your $. :)
Hoot, "my $ would be on Ben" Would you change your bet if you knew that Phelps was on hemorrhoids?Daryl
Olympic records are made to be broken and even though Michael Phelps did not live up to the hype. He did break the record for olympic medal to cement his name in history and that record will be broken also. It seems the USA is getting their butt kicked this olympics, I think the world took notice after China and ramped up their olympic teams.Terry
It's easy to ramp up your programs when you do it communist style. The soviets did it, east Germans, and now Chinese. When you take kids and shove them into "academies" and train them 24-7-365 you get good.
Michael:I hope you're not thinking that our Olympians got there just by practicing with their daddy's on weekends?MANY of China's best and brightest stars are trained right here in the good ol' US of A -- and also in Australia. Why? Because these two countries have some of the best academies anywhere! And their programs work, apparently.
Edited by ben2world on 07/31/2012 17:37:31 MDT.
Not sour grapes at all. It is an advantage they have. Won't fly here to the same extent and I'm glad. The closest exception we have is gymnastics. And see how our women do when competing on equal footing. But to pretend that it isn't an advantage to take kids and shove them in academies, well your fooling yourself. And good for you, you can read stories about how Chinese send their swimmers to some Australian swimming academy. Their best events like gymnastics, diving (former gymnasts), table tennis, weightlifting aren't being outsourced.
The brilliant little girl in question is trained in Australia! And you were referring to her.Not to veer too far off... but seems like whenever foreigners win in anything -- we search for dark reasons. They most likely cheated. And if they didn't, well, then they're working "too hard" and that just ain't good. So we are the better judge? We are just more caring parents?And when we win, we just celebrate!!!I haven't come across systemic cases of middle-aged Chinese or Russians or East Germans whose lives were physically or psychologically ruined due to way-too-strenuous training that they got when they were kids. You must have, to be making the statements you made. Sources?
Edited by ben2world on 07/31/2012 18:18:27 MDT.
"The brilliant little girl in question is trained in Australia! And you were referring to her."I never referred to her. My initial post was in response to Terry refrencing China ramping up their sports program. Of course I am skeptical of any little girl that outperforms a man. It just doensn't usuall happen."Not to veer too far off... but seems like whenever foreigners win in anything -- we search for dark reasons. They most likely cheated. And if they didn't, well, then they're working "too hard" and that just ain't good. So we are the better judge?

You must have, to be making the statements you made. Sources?"You must not follow the Olympics then. The programs and the abuses in trying to compete that follow have led to many problems both in the former eastern bloc and elswhere. Even the US gymnists have stunted growth. It is quite common.Go read up on the East German females who were given steroids and you will see some of the negatives.
"I never referred to her. My initial post was in response to Terry refrencing China ramping up their sports program."Umm, I reread your post. Your statement was all-inclusive. Still a sore loser. Over.
Very sad that when a foreigner wins, so many of us Americans just can't bring ourselves into a celebratory mood...ARE WE REALLY THIS SMALL OF A PEOPLE EMOTIONALLY???
Come on Ben. Read the title, read the post again(maybe the 3rd time you can turn on the reading comprehension?), I responded to Terry's post and was talking about ramping up programs in general and the Chinese specifically. I did not and am not singling any one contestant out. You attacked me because I didn't "celebrate" losing? I can see you have never competed in sports. Most people choose to cheer for their team and not celebrate losing. But good for you. I'm glad you like to.This is far from a US issue as you claim. Go read foreign press after the US dominates again. Go look at the witch hunt the French carried out after Lance Armstrong dominated the Tour de France. The swimmer in question sounds like a rising star. I didn't seen any questions about her cheating in the mainstream press right after the race. The closest anybody came was one announcer asking if there would be questions since she swam so much faster than ever before and that was from a bbc guy. But honestly, as for doubting the Chinese in general? Well they have cheated before, they have no problem cheating in general if they can get away with it, so why wouldn't people question it? Alsostop the baseless accusationsI never complained about the US losing in basketball in 2004, because they played like crap and deserved to lose. I don't complain about Phelps losing because he hasn't worked hard enough to win. I don't accuse Kitajima of cheating when he owns Hansen because he doesn't come out of nowhere. I love to see amazing feats no matter who does them. I enjoy a perfect game even if it is against my team. I admire a great dunk by the opponent. Just because I don't gush over a chinese swimmer and laugh at Phelps losing, doesn't mean I'm a sore loser.
"Still a sore loser. Over"Sore loser, sore winner. When you have hemorrhoids you are just plain sore. I don't think we should be making fun of people with this problem. By the way, I'm not a sore loser. I'm just a loser. Over.
Michael:Using your logic, the perennial cheaters that we are (baseball, etc., etc.) -- can't blame the French "witch hunt" now, can we?
No Ben. That isn't the logic at all. You are confused again.It isn't the perennial (cheaters)winners that people are usually suspicious of cheating. It is the people that come out of nowhere (and are known cheaters). Examples: Ye Shiwen, usain bolt, Caster Semenya.See the last time the Chinese swimmers came out of nowhere to win. The chinese won 12 golds in 1994 asian games and then 7 were busted for cheating. At 1998 worlds a chinese swimmer got caught in the airport with HGH. Domestically the Chinese are busting a lot of swimmers. Now I don't feel there is overwhelming evidence or even good reason to doubt Ye Shiwen beyond Chinese history. She didn't really come out of nowhere and she is the right age for "break thoughs" but I can see why some are hesitant to rush to crown her the next great swimmer.And as for the French, well that is just an example of countries acting the same as everybody else...get a bit upset when some foreigner whips you.And people cheated in baseball in MLB not the olympics. You are all over the place in your attacks. You should have gone with track and field. Then you could at least have been on the right "track".

If you are driving along and suddenly see a big red rubber ball come bouncing out into the street, you might want to put your foot on the brake pedal, because a small child may well come running out into the street after it.
We all understand that an inexperienced young child who has his mind fixed on one thing may ignore other things that are too dangerous to be ignored. Unfortunately, too much of what is said and done in politics is based on the same tunnel vision pursuit of some "good thing," in utter disregard of the repercussions.
For years, home ownership was a big "good thing" among both liberal Democrats like Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Christopher Dodd, on the one hand, and moderate Republicans like President George W. Bush on the other hand.
Raising the rate of home ownership was the big red bouncing ball that they pursued out into the street, in utter disregard of the dangers.
A political myth has been created that no one warned of those dangers. But among the many who did warn were yours truly in 2005, Fortune and Barron's magazines in 2004 and Britain's The Economist magazine in 2003. Warnings specifically about the dangerous roles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were made by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in 2005 and by Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snow in 2003.
Many, if not most, of the children who go running out into the street in pursuit of their bouncing ball may have been warned against this by their parents. But neither small children nor politicians always heed warnings.

Protesters from Phillipi's Ward 35 had a stand off with protesters from Ward 36 as both groups marched to the construction site of a new shopping plaza yesterday where the allocation of casual labour jobs is being contested.
The total number of protesters was about 1000. People hurled rocks and insults at each other, but no injuries were reported.
Work at the construction site was brought to a halt as the two factions protested at the gates.
From Ward 35 in Philippi 600 residents demanded 60% of construction jobs go to people from their ward.
Residents claim the site is in their ward and they have the right to receive the majority of the casual labour jobs. They accused the project's steering committee of corruption and hiring people from the areas they came from, rather than locals.
Residents said the process of employment must be redone with residents from all surrounding areas represented.
"This project belongs to Ward 35, but all the people working here are from Ward 36. We demand everything start afresh. As residents of Ward 35 we demand 60% of employment."
But an opposing group of 400 protestors from Ward 36 in neighbouring Crossroads demanded construction continue.
Project manager and developer Andile Peter said: "We have a number of people from Philippi (Ward 35) working at the project. This is not about the residents, it's about two people who always benefit from every project in the area and they're mobilising people to fight their battle.
"Their problem is they want us to hire people through them so they can get money before it goes to people. Before the project, we informed residents about the project and they were happy," said Peter. – WCN

Ride the Waves at Myrtle Waves
Looking for a great way to beat the heat during your next Myrtle Beach vacation? We have the perfect solution! Just head to Myrtle Waves Water Park, conveniently located right across from Broadway at the Beach, where the whole family can cool off and have a blast!
South Carolina's largest water park sits on just over 20 acres and is open mid-May to mid-September. Hit the raft rides, slides and family attractions with a one-day pass, or, if you plan to be a regular at the beach, secure a season, 2-park or 3-park pass.
For your family and friends who enjoy a smooth ride, stroll over to one of the relaxing raft rides. The Layzee River gives visitors of all ages a slow, steady 3mph tour around the entire park, so enjoy the view while taking your leisurely trip. The Layzee River is the perfect place to let your worries float away while you soak up a little sun. Want to move a little faster? Head to the Racin' River where you hop on a skim board to ride the 250-foot speed river course. Jets propel riders in this river at a much faster pace than the leisurely layzee river.
Go get your splash on at one of the park's slides which offer a variety of thrills for you to try solo or with a partner. The Arooba Tuba is easy to spot: Just look for the bright orange and yellow bowl-shaped funnel that will have you hurrying back for more. Head to the Riptide Rockets for a premium water slide rush or try the Thunderbolts slides for a smaller, tamer experience. Travel to Snake Mountain for a three-part adventure, or dare to explore the dark, foggy tunnels of the Night Flight. And did we mention that the Turbo Twisters will have you plummeting from 10 stories high at 50 feet per second? With over 10 different slide options to choose from, you are sure to get in plenty of wet n' wild fun!
Before you head to a ride with your little ones or with your friends, remember to check each ride's height, size and weight safety restrictions. Also, keep an eye out for special events and promotions at the park.
This summer, Myrtle Waves is hosting "dive-in" movies throughout the season. Each Wednesday from mid-June through mid-August, guests are invited to the park at 4pm to enjoy a little splashing and water fun before the feature starts at 7pm. The movie selection will vary each week but will always be family friendly. Screenings will include favorites like Finding Nemo, Despicable Me 2, and Space Jam - to name a few. Admission to this event is just $11.99 / person and just a buck more if you want to munch on fresh popcorn during the movie.
If you're traveling to Myrtle Waves Water Park with a group or for a birthday party, remember to check on your group ticket discount and to look into renting one of the shaded pavilions as your park headquarters. The park also has an outdoor picnic and grill area, making it easy to refuel during your adventures.
Be sure a trip to this exciting outdoor attraction is on your vacation itinerary! Call (843) 913-9250 for more information.

CLARKSVILLE, Md. (WUSA)-- Connecting with the International Space Station is not a lofty dream for students at River Hill High School; it's a reality.
Ms. Cotney's computer programming class placed 4th in the world in the Spheres competition, which sponsored by NASA and MIT.
Students wrote a code in the C programming language to power a satellite in outer space. The small orb floats in the air on the International Space Station and competes with another orb which is programmed by a competing school.
Their mentor for the project was none other than legendary astronaut Dr. John M. Grunsfeld.
Dr. Grunsfeld has logged 58 hours in space and was responsible for fixing the Hubble Space Telescope on some of his missions. Dr. John M. Grunsfeld was named Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. in January 2012. He says the most valuable lesson student learn in the Spheres competition is "systems engineering" --breaking a large task in to small pieces and having all of the small teams come back together to combine their work into one solution.
Students head to MIT in Cambridge Massachusetts the last week of January to see if they can be crowned champion of this year "Spheres" competition.

Baby food by book—November 30, 2007
New parents transitioning a baby from milk to solid food often have questions about when, which and how foods should be used. Along with getting advice from Doctors and family, the Hastings Public Library has materials available to help plan and start a baby on good healthy foods.
In her book "Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals For a Healthy and Happy Baby," Annabel Karmel says that the signs that your baby is ready to begin eating solid food include still being hungry after a full milk feeding, demanding feedings more frequently, and waking up at night for a feeding previously slept through. She divides her book into segments of "first-stage weaning: 6 months", "after first tastes: 6 to 7 months", "second-stage weaning: 7 to 9 months" and "growing independence: 9 to 12 months." Karmel also discusses vitamin supplements, the best fJanuary 25, 2010t food that has been baked, boiled, microwaved, steamed or stewed in to a puree form for a baby. Once cooked, many foods can be stored in flexible plastic ice-cube trays and frozen for later use.
Commercial jars of baby food save time, but may be more expensive in the long run. Jars, labor, packaging, advertising and "extra" ingredients can add up. Depending on your lifestyle, babies can eat what the rest of the family eats if you know the guidelines. Food becomes more economical and fresh. Home cooking can also add variety. The books "First Food & Family Meals" by Sara Lewis and "First Meals" by Annabel Karmel provide adapted recipes for the older baby and toddler, too, such as "Apple and orange custard," "Potato boats" and "Noodles with broccoli and ham." Make eating fun with "Quickie kabobs," "Sausage wrappers" and "Eggy bread butterflies" recipes.
Find more baby and toddler recipes in the books "Into the Mouths Of Babes: A Natural Foods Nutrition and Feeding Guide For Infants and Toddlers" by Susan Tate Firkaly and "Super Baby Food: Absolutely Everything You Should Know About Feeding Your Baby and Toddler From Starting Solid Foods To Age Three Years" by Ruth Yaron. These books are packed full of information about nutrition, storage of food, fun food decorating, sJanuary 25, 2010ccessories such as baby wipes and diaper cream, also.
Save money (maybe not time) as you prepare foods you know your baby will like and that are safe. These and other books at the Hastings Public Library include fast, healthy and fun foods to tempt infants and toddlers.
