First, I believe your baby is just fine and your doctor will confirm this. I'm sure you're going to take every precaution going forward.
Have you been trying to conceive or is this pregnancy a surprise? I'm shocked that you to a positive on a hpt at only 3 weeks along.
Did you have any symptoms?View Thread
Just wanted to wish you the best! Praying for your healing, deliverance, restoration and peace.View Thread
God is good all the time and His mercy endures forever...be at peace!
Does fasting create menstrual like cramps or could I still be pregnant even though I had a period? I took 2 hpts and they were negative.
Still hoping though.View Thread
God is good all the time and His mercy endures forever...be at peace!
I've been having very light cramps as well that aren't constant. They are very dull. The thing is, I had my "period" this month. What triggered me was that I kept having the light cramps even after my period left. Today is 8 days after my period (CD9) and am still having the dull cramps which is odd for me.
I took 2 hpts but they were both negative.
Could it be possible?View Thread
How about a women's group for pregnant women?
Good luck and I hope you feel better REAL soon!View Thread
As she said, the couple's child was completely healthy. Even after hearing the baby would have down's, they decided to keep the baby...that is EXTREMELY commendable.
Thanks for the post aly192527 !View Thread

I heard that potatoes and pasta keeps you full longer (i heard).
Are you eating snacks in between meals? Maybe good crackers, nuts, fruit...two hours after a big (regular) meal?
Let me know if you find a system that works for you.View Thread

John Henry Daysby Colson Whitehead
Finalist for the 2001 National Book Critics Circle Award
"John Henry Days is daring, nervy, knowing, and smart. Like [DeLillo's] Underworld, it is a bristle of bricolage; but unlike that book, it gives off, despite its bulk, a curious fear of longevity, of entanglement. Its mode is generally filmic ? the rapidity of cutting seems more important than the depth of scenes, as if Whitehead were continually saying to himself, "Keep it moving, keep it moving!" James Wood, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In a glowing review of Colson Whitehead's first novel, The Intuitionist, the New York Times Book Review concluded, "Literary reputations may not always rise and fall as predictably as elevators, but if there's any justice in the world of fiction, Colson Whitehead's should be heading toward the upper floors." With John Henry Days, Colson Whitehead delivers on the promise of his critically acclaimed debut in a magnificent new novel: a retelling of the legend of John Henry that sweeps across generations and cultures in a stunning, hilarious, and unsettling portrait of American society.
Immortalized in folk ballads, John Henry has been a favorite American hero since the mid-nineteenth century. According to legend, John Henry, a black laborer for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, was a man of superhuman strength and stamina. He proved his mettle in a contest with a steam drill, only to die of exhaustion moments after his triumph.
In John Henry Days, Colson Whitehead transforms the simple ballad into a contrapuntal masterpiece. The narrative revolves around the story of J. Sutter, a young black journalist. Sutter is a "junketeer," a freeloading hack who roams from one publicity event to another, abusing his expense account and mooching as much as possible. It is 1996, and an assignment for a travel Web site takes Sutter to West Virginia for the first annual "John Henry Days" festival, a celebration of a new U.S. postal stamp honoring John Henry. And there the real story of John Henry emerges in graceful counterpoint to Sutter's thoroughly modern adventure.
As he explores the parallels between the lives of these two black men, and between the Industrial Age, which literally killed John Henry, and the Digital Age that is destroying J. Sutter's soul, Whitehead adds multiple dimensions to the myth of the steel-driving man. And in dazzling set pieces, he traces the evolution of the famous ballad over the past century. John Henry Days is a novel of extraordinary scope and mythic power that juxtaposes history and popular culture, the blatant bigotry of the past with the more insidious racism of the present, and laugh-out-loud humor with unforgettable poignancy.
"John Henry Days is funny and wise and sumptuously written....Again and again, you hit passages of wry and largehearted descriptive prose that are the clearest measure of Whitehead's achievement and promise as a writer." Jonathan Franzen, New York Times Book Review
Colson Whiteheads eagerly awaited and triumphantly acclaimed new novel is on one level a multifaceted retelling of the story of John Henry, the black steel-driver who died outracing a machine designed to replace him. On another level its the story of a disaffected, middle-aged black journalist on a mission to set a record for junketeering who attends the annual John Henry Days festival. It is also a high-velocity thrill ride through the tunnel where American legend gives way to American pop culture, replete with p. r. flacks, stamp collectors, blues men , and turn-of-the-century song pluggers. John Henry Days is an acrobatic, intellectually dazzling, and laugh-out-loud funny book that will be read and talked about for years to come.
About the Author
Colson Whitehead was born in New York City. His first novel, The Intuitionist, won the QPB New Voices Award and was an Ernest Hemingway/PEN Award finalist. He is also the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Author Archives: Daniel Wilkinson, New Hampshire State Parks Summer Intern
About Daniel Wilkinson, New Hampshire State Parks Summer InternI love it here in New Hampshire. I've been visiting my entire life, but it wasn't until I moved here to attend Plymouth State University that I realized just how much the New Hampshire State Parks could offer. Comprised of 92 different parks, waysides, historical sites, and recreational trails there is something for everyone to enjoy here. From hiking, camping, skiing, biking, boating, to picnics, sunbathing, and playgrounds it is easy for the whole the family to have fun in a New Hampshire State Park. This summer, as a NH State Parks intern, I'll be traveling around New Hampshire to give you a look at all the different experiences you can have inside the state parks. Using a camera, my hiking boots, kayak, and mountain bike I plan to explore as much as I can and report back to you. I'm excited to get out there, but I'm even more excited to share my adventures and motivate you to get outside and enjoy the New Hampshire State Parks.

Contact BOKA Powell:
Phone: 972.701.9000
BOKA Powell's ability to deliver a wide variety of domestic and international projects resides in our commitment to respond effectively to diverse budget, schedule, and efficiency goals, while exceeding our client's expectations for design excellence.
Located at Main Street between Ervay and Akard, two doors down from the first and flagship Neiman Marcus store. This project is comprised of both adaptive reuse and new build. The program contains 130 rooms, restaurant, bar, ballroom and meeting space and spa suite. The entire design is by the world famous Adam D. Tihany. The famous restaurant is by Charlie Palmer of Aureole and Charlie Palmer Steak fame. The lounge is by Pure Las Vegas, one of the hottest names at night. In addition to the Cellar Lounge, there is a pool bar and grill. The unique pool cantilevers 8 feet above Main Street traffic. Hotel Joule is scheduled to open in the spring of 2008.
For you art lovers out there. The Phoenix Midtown Apartments, on Mockingbird Lane, has achieved a milestone of sorts. Eyecon, our artists have completed the first of seven large murals to be painted on the buildings new skin. Take a look. The murals are stylized to fit the "Art Deco" theme of this existing large residential community near Southern Methodist University. This is an ongoing project that still has another 20 months of work to do, including a complete new landscape design along Mockingbird Lane with palm trees, etc.
This 15-story tower office building designed in the early 1980's represents a style of architecture prevalent at that time using dark glass in the tower and travertine stone as accent elements around the podium and street level lobby. The location along the now busy McKinney Avenue has prompted the building owners to upgrade the street level to better embrace the street life. BOKA Powell has been engaged in creating a new 'front door' that is closer to the street and provides a new and more updated entry that will enliven the space and provide visitors and tenants with a new sense of welcome. The space will be energized with light by opening up the lobby to two levels of height and a large wall of glass utilizing an apparently seamless system to allow an unobstructed view to the inside. Materials are selected to create the transformation from all stone and glass to glass and metal and stone in a variety of forms to enhance the experience of space and invite people to sit and interact with others. The introduction of retail space at the ground lobby will further enliven this space for activity.
This adaptive renovation project consisted of transforming the Butter Krust Bakery into the Corporate Headquarters for Hoovers Online. This existing 78,000 sf facility posed many challenges that the design team successfully overcame. Today, it is home to more than 200 users who enjoy the many amenities and openness not present in their previous work environment. Some unique features of the building include inflatable ductwork, outdoor terrace, cafe with coffee service from one of the old bread delivery trucks, and a work area with computer friendly lighting.
Ground floor will remain a US post Office. The buildings upper floors are currently being selectively demolished with preservation construction ongoing to historic courtrooms. We are working in collaboration with Norman Alston (historic specialist). Future project use is now being evaluated. It will be either a boutique hotel, Class A Office or 40 luxury residential condominiums.
This existing corporate campus was replanned to accomodate a multi-tenant mix, and redeveloped with new lobby and public area spaces, exterior and landscape upgrades, as well as new MEP systems. In addition, BOKA Powell designed a new 474,810 SF parking garage on-site to flexibly accomodate the leasing strategy. BOKA Powell fully upgraded the ground floor lobby, including security gates, new restrooms and the existing elevators. We completely gutted the existing floor plan of walls ceilings, lighting, finishes, etc. while reworking base building Gypsum Board columns, exterior of the core walls and reconstructed new restrooms, and added new ceiling lighting, leveled the floors, planned interior construction and finishes. The plan shown includes upgraded 3rd floor lobby, with secured entry, offices, workstations, conference rooms, break rooms, training room on 6" raised floor.
BOKA Powell is focused on the documentation of the concepts of a full team of consultants including programming specialists, architectural and interior designers, and mep engineers. Our challenge has been to translate the extraordinarily large floor plates of a retail mall into a seriously capable work environment to support a fun team attitude. Utilizing raised floors with power, data and hvac distribution below allows unlimited space flexibility for Rackers to build their teams around their talent. Amenities such as a full-service cafeteria, fitness center, fueling stations and open escalators for vertical transportation and communication allow different configurations of physical space to be immediately responsive to changes in organizational structure. Fanatical Support is Rackspace's terminology for legendary customer support of IT Hosting – meeting and exceeding every customer's needs and expectations. This high-technology firm has directed the conversion of an entire existing shopping mall into office space to integrate the best technologies and practices in the most collaborative, flexible, high-energy work environment possible.
BOKA Powell, along with Economic Research Associates (ERA), conducted an economic study for the Dallas Farmers Market (DFM). A thorough and involved research of the DFM and its surrounding community was needed to boost the Market's economic performance. BOKA Powell and ERA actively responded to this need, engaging representatives of the City of Dallas, DFM management and Convention Center Bureau Management. Posing pertinent questions to these officials and analyzing comparative information regarding other farmers market were crucial in developing a strategy to restore DFM as a financial asset to the City of Dallas.
BOKA Powell was asked to evaluate and design for phased renovation to improve the dated image of this prestigious downtown office address. The design goals were to downsize the city block sized lobby space in scale and to re-introduce a new income producing tenant space to the ground floor. The improvements included the demolition of the large existing bank teller space and the basement food court public dining area. Existing granite slabs in the lobby were carefully salvaged for future patching and remodeling. A warmer aesthetic approach was desired and included in the introduction of new public seating areas, carpet, lighting and custom wood privacy screens. The tall lobby area also features three very large custom light fixtures that are suspended to help reduce the overall perception of height. The basement food court improvements included a new ceiling, reshaping of existing column covers, new metallic paint, custom graphics and furniture. The improvements have been favorably received and both spaces are now actively enjoyed by the building's tenants and visitors.

Renovation of an existing drive to create a plaza linking pedestrian and vehicular between two adjacent office towers in an urban context. Another cool-laboration, this time with Chris Russell (Landscape Architect). We incorporated colored concrete in select areas for impact and softened the abundance of hard, geometric surfaces with the creative placement of planting beds, large plant containers, trees and a low, serpentine and landscape wall. Renovation also involved recladding of the two office towers and design of a decorative stair to link the new lower plaza to an existing upper plaza.
Xerox Corporation's decision to consolidate their Customer Support Center from Las Colinas office buildings to an existing warehouse in Lewisville, Texas affected six divisions of the corporation, 160,000 square feet of building area and a total of 650 people. BOKA Powell provided complete planning, programming, architecture and interior design services, while implementing "fast track" construction procedures. Renovating the Lewisville facility required site improvements, new windows, a new entrance and canopy, and the addition of restroom and other core areas. The vast open warehouse becomes an internal city composed of elements that operate at three successive scales. At the large scale, a "town center" accommodates centralized functions such as building entry, reception and large group meetings. Beginning at the town center, a primary circulation route, "the boulevard" winds through a series of multi-departmental areas or "neighborhoods". Gridded "main streets" intersect the "boulevard" and lead to intermediate scale "neighborhood centers" which house shared multi-departmental support areas. The design solution provides comfortable work areas, unique spaces for communal activity, and eventful paths of circulation, while responding in character and function to the daily needs of the building's inhabitants.
This design concept for the renovation of an existing office building provided for a dramatic lobby and entrance experience, with integration of cutting edge building systems and technology throughout.

No Little People
"With God there are no little people." So wrote Francis Schaeffer echoing the meaning of Paul's words in the first three verses of 1 Timothy 5: "Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. Honor widows who are truly widows."
What do the older men, younger men, older women, younger women, and widows have in common? Sometimes older men and women are regarded as passé. Sometimes young men and women are regarded as people without gravitas. Sometimes widows are regarded as people with no voice. We need to hear these words today. Who among us has not regarded as irrelevant the older man or woman to the modern world? Have we not at times disregarded younger women and men whom we thought were too inexperienced to make serious contributions to the plans being laid down? And don't we sometimes inwardly relegate widows to the sidelines?
I am thankful that Tabletalk assigned this passage to me. Paul's words bring me back to the truth that everyone is made in the image of God, no matter how old and no matter how young. The orphan and the widow are made in His image. Paul reminds me of the reality that all Christians with whom I rub shoulders have the same Father and are indwelled by the same Spirit. We must be vigilant to guard these truths and to live them. We are in a culture that is moving away from God's desires that the baby in the womb and the gray-headed lady in the wheelchair be respected.
I have a friend who tries to put his observations through a sieve until he has the essence. He teaches that when anthropologists analyze the collapse of our culture they will trace our demise to the generation that failed to teach its children to say "Yes, sir," or "Yes, Ma'am." It is easy to forget that respect expressed verbally is a biblical mandate, not a cultural habit.
In our esteem for the widow we are to respect the powerful ministry to which she may be called. In our text (v. 5) Paul refers to the widow who fills her life with prayer. My mother's original home was Dallas, Texas, so we would often travel west from Virginia to see her family. On one visit my father was asked to preach in a nearby church. God blessed his preaching and time spent with that congregation in an amazing way. After we returned home, a widow in the church he served asked my father to come see her. During his visit she asked my father if anything peculiar had happened on his trip. Dad told her about the spiritual blessings that God wrought while he was preaching in that small church. She then told him that she awakened one morning with an urge to pray for him. She was compelled to pray for him throughout that day and the next, the very same days he was preaching in that Texas church. The widow was in her eighties, frail, living alone, and homebound, unable to attend church services. She spent most of her days sitting in a chair or in bed. The majority of us in a similar situation would say, "My useful days are past. There is nothing important that I can do. I can't even go to church or get out and walk around the block." God has used the prayers of such "useless" people to expand His kingdom and change the course of history. We must remember that in our weaknesses God proves His power. When we are in our beds, aged and infirm, we are still priests who have power with God.
Paul concludes this section on "no little people" by admonishing the church to be sure widows receive physical care. The strong words he used in verse 8 — "if anyone does not provide for his relatives…he has denied the faith" — can be applied to the church that fails to provide for her own destitute. Many of us desire to deal with the "soul" (spiritual) and ignore the hard and mundane work of relieving the physical needs of the impoverished saints around us. We want to evangelize and keep our hands clean from the dirt and grime. Amy Carmichael, the well known missionary to India, received a donation to her work with the stipulation that it be used toward "soul work." She responded, "One cannot save and then pitchfork souls into heaven. There are times I heartily wish we could. But souls, in India at least, are more or less securely fastened to bodies. Bodies can't be left to lie about in the open and as you can't get the souls out and deal with them separately, you have to take them both together" (Converting Women by Eliza Kent). Biblical evangelism and benevolence properly practiced is compassion expressed to the whole person.
In Psalm 68:5 God gives Himself a wonderful title: "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation." May we learn to be godly in our lives and in our churches.

This works okay as a moisturizer, but I was looking for a small amount of coverage to even out my skintone. This doesn't have any coverage really and can't be built up. It also has a dewier finish than I care for. I'll use it under foundation for the SPF factor, but won't repurchase.

It took me awhile to realize this crap was breaking me out. It's also fairly expensive for a drug store product. Coverage is sheer, but I don't expect a lot out of a tinted moisturizer.
But my skin breaks out really easily, so this may work for others.

YUCK! I have never in my life actually thrown away a full product, until this one. It was literally unusable. It made my face look muddy, not natural at all. And it also clumped up around my eyebrows and the sides of my face, even though I didn't use that much! It just looked so bad, I didn't feel guilty about throwing it in the garbage at all. Buy at your own risk

I first tired this tinted moisturizer a few years ago and this product goes with the saying a little goes a long way. However the packaging changed and I think the formula changes as well. The older formula was moisturizing and gave a light tint. The new formula gave me whiteheads and blackheads.

This was a crappy tinted moisturizer it didn't really cover for it to be tinted and it was to greasy to me it gave me a zit a little one. The only good thing about this is that there is no hint of sunscreen smell.

No coverage at all, no not sheer, invisible!!!
Whoa but listen up though, this is oily, slick, and greasy
Yea i look like im hating, dont i???
But this little guy here is amazing for other uses:
It makes my matte foundations have a dewy finish to it when i want something differet
It takes care of any patchies i have
Doesnt break me out!!, and my skin is pretty sensitive with moisturizers
Now some turn offs:
It becomes sorta yucky if you dont clean around the tube opening, it starts to gather and clump into a jelly like ring around it
And yea i guess it is some what orange, but im pretty pale myself... Like im usually the second shade to the lightest in foundations... But like i said this has no coverage, and blended out no color!!
Yea this product sucks as a "tinted moisturrizer" but just find some other useful ways to use it... Hey if life gives you lemons, make some yummy lemonade!!
Plus i like to be indenial and not admit to myself that i bought something thinking it was one thing, but ends up as another ...
I dont advise you to buy this though if your expecting some sheer coverage...

This is the greasiest tinted moisturizer I've ever used AND it made me break out. Also, it's ridiculously expensive for the drugstore crap that it is. I will stick to my Aveeno Baby and La Roche Posay Anthelios.

Over the summer, I spent so much time mixing my regular foundation (CG TruBlend) with my moisturizer in order to reduce the coverage for a more natural look that I eventually decided to break down and just buy a tinted moisturizer to use in place of a liquid foundation days that I only wanted light coverage. I had high hopes when I bought this product, and I loved it the first several times I wore it. The coverage was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it broke me out like I've never had happen to me before. I've never had an issue with sensitive skin (or breakouts at all) before, so I gave it another try the next week and it happened again. It seemed like a nice product and I'm still looking for a tinted moisturizer, but clearly we were not meant to be.

This makes me look like an oompaloompa!! I had a sample of the untinted version and really liked it, but this stuff is just awful! It makes my face shiny and orange and it does not seem to give much coverage. I probably will not even use it up.

The best I've found so far in tinted spf moisturizers. Evens out my skin tone just a tiny bit and works as an spf. It can be a bit greasy if you are prone, so probably only works for normal skin. I use it every day. It will never be as illuminating and wonderful as the sadly discontinued Glowtion but so far, it's the only thing that doesn't clump, cake or look horrid. Still testing others, but this is the clear winner for now

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 29 (UPI) — Google's Eric Schmidt says "worrying legislative efforts" to censor the Web concern him but said technology will ultimately prevent a "digital caste system."
Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Schmidt said the Internet is "like water" — it will find a way to break through — but "we need to act now to avoid the rise of this new digital caste system."
The Google executive chairman was referring to censorship efforts throughout the Middle East in the last year, from Egypt to Syria and Iran, where access to secure Web sites — including Google services — was cut off this month, PC Magazine reported Wednesday.
But technology, he said, will eventually create a "global community of equals."
Schmidt warned against burdensome legislation in the United States.
"There's a tendency of regulators to regulate now as opposed to what will be," he said. "If you have to regulate, try to regulate the outcome, not the technology.
"If there's an outcome you don't like, don't specify in law a specific technology because the technology moves forward."
Bringing the Internet to underserved portions of the world was another major theme of his remarks.
"There will still be elites," he said, but "technology is the leveler [because] everyone is blessed with creativity," Schmidt said. "I believe this profoundly — in every person there is a company waiting to get out."

NORTH TONAWANDA, NY -- President Barack Obama says he still has not decided on what he will do in Syria, a nation he says used chemical weapons against its own people.
The President will make his case for military action in a primetime address that you can see Tuesday night at nine on Channel 2 and NBC News.
Monday, the President conceded he might lose his battle for congressional support. And, he is not saying what he would do if Congress won't support U.S. retaliation for the chemical weapons attack in Syria last month.
The President also says a statement from Syria suggesting that it might agree to surrender control of its chemical weapons stockpile is a potentially positive development.
This comes as groups hoping for peace in Syria held three rallies across Western New York.
"The public doesn't want it. Hopefully, Congress will not authorize it, and we won't have a war," said one protester.
At noon, about two dozen people gathered on Niagara Square for what they called a "No War On Syria" rally. The faith-based groups hope for peace.
"What we're talking about doing, there's absolutely no guarantee or even a good probability that we're going to stop the killing," said another protester.
In a CBS interview which aired Monday, Syria's president had this warning about attacks against U.S. interests in the Middle East should strikes happen.
"You should expect everything. Not necessarily through the government. The governments are not the only player in this region," he said.
And, President Obama had this response.
"The notion that Mr. Assad could significantly threaten the United States is just not the case," said Obama.
Monday night, the anti-war cries continued in North Tonawanda where several Syrian-Americans pushed for peace instead of military action.
"I don't think Obama should bomb Syria at all. I don't think he has the right to," said Syrian-American Alex Bitar.
Bitar is a first generation Syrian-American. He still has uncles living there. He also supports the Syrian government.
"I don't believe they have proof against Bashar Al Assad using chemical weapons at all," he says.
Bitar, like many of his friends and family members, believes the people causing problems in Syria are not affiliated with Assad's regime.
"It's al Qaeda. There is more than two-hundred groups who fought in Syria. The most are from different countries. They are not Syrian, but all of al Qaeda in different names," said Wadi Bshara, who was born in Syria.
The people at the rallies are calling on lawmakers to support increased humanitarian aid in the region.
They are also planning an emergency protest if the U.S. takes military action against Syria.

A Melbourne police officer has been placed on administrative leave after being involved in a deadly collision with a bicyclist, officials said.
The officer, identified as 33-year-old Steve Linthicum, was responding to a call, Wednesday night when he struck a bicyclist, identified only as a man in his 50s, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said.
The crash happened about 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Bluebird Boulevard and the 500 block of East Eau Gallie Boulevard in beachside Melbourne.
The bicyclist was taken to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne where he was pronounced dead, officials report.
Melbourne police referred any questions to the Florida Highway Patrol.
"I can tell you that the officer was responding to a possible disturbance call," said Melbourne police Sgt. Sheridan Shelly.
Linthicum did not, however, have his car lights or siren activated, police said.
Florida Highway Patrol investigators are looking into how fast the marked Chevrolet Impala was traveling and the positioning of the bicyclist.
An investigation is ongoing.

Ovum claims that if the six largest ISPs all launched bundled digital music services this year, they could be making £103 million in direct revenues by 2013. The report also claims that ISPs could make indirect savings of £20 million a year if such services reduced churn by 10%, and suggests the magic formula is a £6.49-a-month subscription service offering unlimited streaming, bundled download-to-own tracks and recommendations to spur further purchases.

Christmas Readings - 2014
Listen to this show
Our stories tonight were all written by John Kendrick Bangs, an author and editor who worked on the most popular magazines of the 19th century. When not being the humor editor of Puck or other magazines he wrote supernatural fiction that was well loved for its whimsy and wit, especially when he set his ghost stories in the Christmas season.
Many of his stories feel like Twilight Zone episodes written by a 19th century Rod Serling. So tonight we bring you...
A triplet of the imaginative.
A triptych of the mysterious.
A serving of a quarter dozen holiday treats.
Brought to you by The Hour that Stretches.
The Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall by John Kendrick BangsThere's a ghost haunting Harrowby Hall but only on Christmas Eve. The owner is fed up with having his holidays ruined by this ghostly visitation but what is he to do? How can he make this ghost leave and never come back? I think you'll agree with me that his solution to this problem is both logical and imaginative.
The Child Who Had Everything But - by John Kendrick BangsWe all too often get too focused on material goods and forget about the simple joys of life. We sometimes fear the things that could hurt us so much that we miss the things that bring joy to our lives. That's a simple truth that can best be seen though the magic window of fantasy.
Come with us as we visit a boy who has everything a boy could want but who does not have the one thing it takes to make it all worthwhile.
Thurlow's Christmas Story by John Kendrick BangsHenry Thurlow is a man with a problem. He's accepted a contract to provide a story for the Christmas issue of a magazine that regularly publishes his work. The story has been announced, the publicity gone out, a place is being held for his carefully crafted words but he is unable to actually write the story and it is due tomorrow.
To make matters worse Mr. Thurlow is getting visited by a ghostly presence and has nightmares of the life of an evil alter ego that he can't distinguish from reality. But then a mysterious stranger offers to solve his writing problems with an unanticipated gift.
Mr. Thurlow should know better than to accept gifts from strangers. Good thing there's magic in the Christmas season.
And from all of us at Hour 25, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.

Zulgad: Bridgewater expresses confidence without coming off as cocky
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Attempting to make any on-the-field judgments about Teddy Bridgewater after two minicamp practices not only would be extremely premature, it would qualify as downright silly.
But there is one thing you can say with complete confidence about the last pick of the first round in this year's draft. He is not going to struggle when it comes to handling the off-the-field issues that go with being a quarterback in the NFL.
As far as the Vikings' brass should be concerned, Bridgewater did not fumble one question as he spoke to a group of reporters on Wednesday at Winter Park after the team wrapped up the second day of its three-day camp.
Bridgewater praised the coaching staff, as well as fellow quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder. He talked about how much he was learning from Cassel and Ponder and attempted to express confidence without being cocky.
Heck, Bridgewater wouldn't even say he was thinking about the arrival of training camp late next month in Mankato, going with the old "one day at a time" mantra.
Bridgewater is the anti-Johnny Manziel. He won't be nearly as brash or as much fun to cover, but he comes off as a student of the game who keeps his focus on the field and not off of it.
"It's amazing that I've been able to learn so much in the six weeks that I've been here, and I've just been gaining that confidence every day," Bridgewater said. "I'm just feeling very comfortable right now and knowing that I still have room for improvement and a long way to go to be where I want to be."
If you're Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, coach Mike Zimmer or offensive coordinator Norv Turner this type of quote is music to your ears because it indicates the young man gets it. Of course, we learned three years ago that just because a young QB seems to get it that is no guarantee of success.
Ponder arrived at Winter Park as the 12th pick of the 2011 draft and provided all the right answers. Three years later, it's likely he will never start another game for the Vikings and could be elsewhere when the regular season begins.
The Vikings are banking on the fact that Bridgewater, when he does get his chance, is going to be a far more polished product and that he will be able to hold down the starting role for the long term.
"Teddy's so great to be around, it's easy," Turner said. "As Coach Zimmer said, he knows how to work. He's very instinctive. ... He's a very natural player."
While Zimmer has attempted to sell the Vikings' quarterback situation as a three-man competition, we all know that's not the truth. Ponder has no chance of winning the spot.
The assumption, and suggestion, from this corner has been that Cassel should start the season and Bridgewater should be a spectator. But there is a chance that won't be the case. Zimmer and Turner could be waiting to see what Bridgewater can do in training camp, and the preseason, and then could make the call.
That is what the Seattle Seahawks did in 2012, when third-round pick Russell Wilson beat out free-agent Matt Flynn. This happened despite the fact that Flynn had signed a three-year, $26 million contract with the Seahawks that March. The deal included $10 million in guarantees. It wasn't a cheap decision to have Flynn on the sideline but it was the right call.
Cassel was brought back by the Vikings in March for $10 million over two years, making him a bridge quarterback and not a high-priced acquisition.
"Right now, my mindset is that I'm competing," Bridgewater said. "I feel that competition makes the team better. If all the guys at the quarterback position are competing it's just going to make the entire position much better."
Bridgewater got plenty of work in the opening two days of minicamp. According to stats kept by Andrew Krammer of 1500 ESPN, Bridgewater completed 13 of 15 passes on Tuesday and 15 of 17 on Wednesday in 11-on-11 team drills. Cassel was a combined 12 of 22 over the two days and Ponder was 6 of 8.
Although Bridgewater did not throw any deep passes on Wednesday, Turner said the quarterback has done a good job of getting the ball down the field. There were some concerns about this issue as Bridgewater dropped to the end of the first round in May after being projected as the possible top pick overall last summer.
"I knew he'd be accurate and make great decisions, but he has been outstanding throwing the ball deep, which some people thought was going to be an issue," Turner said. "I think in the six-to-eight weeks we've had him on the field, he's been put in a position to throw most of the throws he would have to make, and I think he's made most of those throws he'd have to make."
Said Bridgewater: "It's been all footwork. I've been able to watch Matt, watch Chrisitan and have seen how those guys have had great success throwing the deep ball and try to apply some of the things that they are doing to my game also."
Bridgewater strikes you as a 24-7 football guy. He spent a good portion of Wednesday talking about his desire to get reps in any way, shape or form. That can mean spending time reading his playbook or even by playing the Madden video game.
"Whenever I'm not in I'm trying to take mental reps and also visual reps when either Matt or Christian are taking their reps," said Bridgewater, who threw for 3,970 yards and 31 touchdowns with only four interceptions last season at Louisville. " ... It helps because you get one more rep than you had in the actual practice. Any chance you get to take an extra rep or go the extra step, the extra mile, it's going to be very beneficial when I transfer it to the field."
The coaching staff is attempting to challenge Bridgewater, and the rest of the quarterbacks, by giving them multiple plays to take to the line of scrimmage and going no-huddle. This is especially interesting for a rookie to process because it means he must make quick decisions without hesitation.
Bridgewater, though, doesn't seem fazed by the amount of things he has had to process and admits coming across as a guy who is cool, calm and collected, and having a good time, is no accident.
"You've got to have fun. You can't just be so serious all the time," he said. "You have to relax but also stay within your character. ... When guys are competing at a high level you have to have fun and if guys aren't having a great day you still have to have fun. Playing the quarterback position, I feel this is the one position where you always have to just remain poised and always have fun to let the guys know that, 'Hey, my quarterback is fine, so maybe I'll be all right.'"

Pope marks Holocaust Remembrance Day
Catholic World News - January 27, 2010
Pope Benedict XVI called attention to Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, recalling the "unprecedented cruelty" of the Nazi extermination campaign and praying during his regular weekly audience that "such tragedies never happen again." Speaking on the anniversary of the day in 1945 when the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated, the Holy Father said that "the tragedy of the Shoah has struck the Jewish people," and the "countless victims of a blind racial and religious hatred" should today bear witness to the need to respect every human person.

High quality cover
By Kevin
from Liberty, ME
I bought this grill cover for use with my Weber Q320 grill. It's well-made, and looks great with the Weber logo on the side. I like the handle on top to remove it from the grill with one easy tug. Definitely recommend.
Delivery was fast. Grill cover was securely wrapped and arrived in perfect condition.
High quality grill cover
By NboroGirl
from Boston suburb
This grill cover fits my Weber Q300 perfectly - a little too perfectly. It can be a little awkward putting it on, since it fits so well with not much room to spare. One drawback (to me) is both shelves must be in their down position for it to fit. Other than that, I highly recommend it. It is nice and heavy and should be very durable.
Delivery was prompt and the product was well packaged.

Compel DOJ to reveal Napoles' list, Revilla urges Senate panel-A A +A
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
SENATOR Ramon Revilla Jr. is urging the Senate Blue Ribbon committee to compel Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to furnish the chamber a copy of the affidavit executed by alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Napoles.
The senator insisted that it is part of the job of the committee charge by Senator Teofisto Guingona III to gather the right information on the issue and those others being dragged in the multi-billion peso pork barrel scam.
The senator from Cavite challenged Guingona to do his job by compelling de Lima to submit the list, "or he might as well resign as the Blue Ribbon chairman."
According to Revilla, it is for the sake of fair play that the Blue Ribbon committee must reopen its investigation in order to know who else are being tagged by Napoles as the mastermind and other names being mentioned as part of the controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam.
Senator Jose Jinggoy Estrada, for his part, said it surprised him why de Lima who is known being vocal about the issue suddenly refused to say anything on the alleged involvement of some government officials.
Estrada said the Department of Justice (DOJ) is taking some time in disclosing the names of those other lawmakers allegedly being implicated by Napoles herself.
"It is very surprising that the DOJ Chief is having a hard time disclosing the names of other lawmakers being implicated. But when the issue first broke out and our names are being implicated, concerned government agencies appeared to have fast-tracked the handling of the investigation and the situation seemed to be different now," he said.
"Well, I do not know the agenda of the DOJ. I really do not know. Well, for the good of the public and for the good of the Senate and Congress in general, I hope that they release the alleged list given to her by Napoles, if there is any," Estrada added.
Both Estrada and Revilla said there is a big possibility that the DOJ chief is sanitizing the affidavit of Napoles.
"They might be sanitizing it, I do not know why they are keeping it from the public. The real targets are the three senators from the very start. From the very start. It's unfair," Estrada said.
While Revilla maintained that all the actions and decision of de Lima is designed for the 2016 elections, "and not to reveal the truth."
"Lahat ito ay para sa darating na 2016 laban sa mga nasa oposisyon," he said.
When asked to comment, Louie Belmonte from the office Guingona said the senator is presently in Australia attending to some personal matters.
Based on reports, de Lima refused to heed calls for her to disclose the Napoles list of lawmakers and public figures implicated in the pork barrel scandal.
"I already said that I cannot be pressured to release the list at this point. I will do so in due time - upon completion of the Napoles statement and the vetting process," de Lima reportedly said.
De Lima reiterated her position against releasing the list and affidavit of Napoles at a time when the National Bureau of Investigation is still validating the information provided by Napoles after the latter reportedly pointed to another person as the "real mastermind" of the fund anomaly.
De Lima pointed that while she agreed with Senate President Franklin Drilon that the Senate has constitutional power to compel her to release the list, she said she would appeal for the senators' understanding against the disclosure.
For his part, Senator Sergio Osmena III, who is the vice chairperson of the Blue Ribbon committee, said it is but proper that those being implicated in the scam be revealed.
Osmena said he is open for a caucus should the DOJ chief wants it that way.
He said it is for the sake of fair play and truth that they want to know the list of Napoles. (Camille P. Balagtas/Sunnex)

Cooking shrimp
Don't let them boil. Bring the water to a boil, drop the shrimp in and turn off the burner when small bubbles start to break the surface of the water. Then just let them sit 3-7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. They'll be firm, sweet and never overcooked. — bbell2000, Software Engineer

DaimlerChrysler has announced that they will be cutting 6000 white collar jobs in order to improve operations. Most of the cuts will come from staffing in Germany and will amount to about 20% of the 30,000 person staff. Most of the cuts will come from human resources, finance, and strategic planning. The cuts will be carried out by the end of 2008.
They are streamlining operations to improve quality, bring engineering and "executives" closer together to improve communication. While they are at it they need to also improve communication throughout the supply base and into the factory floor. Funny how things like that work.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Information about the 2015 contest, the 25th anniversary, is available below and via the links to the right. The theme for the 2015 program was "Georgia's WILD Animals and Plants - A Natural Investment." To celebrate the silver anniversary and the price reduction of the wildlife license plates to $25 (a major source of nongame funding), students were asked to depict their favorite nongame animal or plant on a Georgia license plate. The deadline for entries in the 2015 state competition was April 10.
The 2015 statewide winners [1] were announced April 23. See the winning posters on Flickr [2].
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), The State Botanical Garden of Georgia and The Environmental Resources Network, Inc. (TERN) encourage you and your students to participate in the 25th annual Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest! As part of DNR and TERN's "Kids For Conservation" initiative, this popular art contest provides a unique opportunity for students to explore the wonders of Georgia's native plant and animal species through this year's theme: Georgia's WILD Animals & Plants - A Natural Investment!
This year's theme highlights the value of our natural resources as well as the money required to keep wildlife populations thriving. You may be surprised to learn that projects to conserve Georgia's rare, endangered and other nongame wildlife as well as native plants and natural habitats, are not funded by state tax dollars. Rather, DNR Nongame relies on grants and donations to manage the 95% of species in Georgia that are not hunted, fished for, or trapped. Most contributions come from the sale and renewal of wildlife license plates, which recently were reduced in price to $25 with a larger portion supporting nongame wildlife.
With this exciting change comes a switch-up in this year's Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest -- we're asking students to design their own Georgia wildlife license plates! Omar Murcia, an artist from Kennesaw, GA, created the first full-plate design [3] in our state, which depicts a soaring bald eagle. Perhaps your budding artist students will use their talents in a similar way someday!
The goal of the Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest is to generate a greater knowledge and appreciation of Georgia's diverse and increasingly threatened wildlife and their habitats. It is only a deep concern and commitment to these wild places that will ensure their existence for future generations to enjoy.
We look forward to working with you and your students at the 25th annual Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest! Full contest details are included in the contest brochure below. If you have further questions, please contact Linda May (706.557.3226, firstname.lastname@example.com) or Cora Keber (706.542.6156, firstname.lastname@example.com).

With employers operating, and employees working, in the global economy, knowing whether non-competition
agreements will be enforced in other jurisdictions is essential for both those seeking to enforce and those likely
to be subject to enforcement action. Unfortunately, there is much variation not only in the United States itself,
with different states adopting different stances on whether non-competition agreements may be enforced, but also across the European Union. This article will highlight some of those differences, both in the United States and in the European Union, and suggest how employers may prepare to meet the challenges of enforcing noncompetition agreements in and across various jurisdictions.

How to Wear the Wet Hair Trend
The Key to Getting the Wet Hair Trend Right
Like us on Facebook
"Distribute the gel evenly in the palms of your hands and pull it through your hair from the roots to your ends," he explains. Then it's up to you how to work it. Gel the front liberally and place the rest back in a ponytail à la Monique Lhuillier (middle left), or go for a retro, Mad Men kind of vibe with a semiglossy faux bob, as seen at Jil Sander (middle right). The shiny style also provides the perfect way to stretch out needs-to-be-washed hair with an avant-garde twist.
