Free NFL Picks: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ship is Sunk This Season
The latest odds for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the NFC South as posted by BetDSI sportsbook are +560. BetDSI is one of the most dependable sportbooks to wager on football.

Sign up today and see why BetDSI is the best online betting portal to bet on the National Football League and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Smith was not the head coach of the Buccaneers very long before he decided to make an impact. The Bucs quickly signed veteran quarterback Josh McCown and named him the starter. For a team that clearly is in a win-now mode, this is a risky move. McCown has been a backup most of his career and has made only 38 starts. He played well in relief of an injured Jay Cutler in Chicago last season. But there's nothing in McCown's track record to suggest that he can win consistently over the long haul. Coach Lovie Smith has history with McCown and is comfortable with the veteran quarterback. This was a bit of a shock considering the fact that the Bucs have a solid young signal caller in Mike Glennon. This will be a big move for the Bucs as they are putting all of their hopes on a quarterback who has made a living as a back up.
9 teams in 13 years, Josh McCown's road to the @TBBuccaneers' starting QB job took countless twists and turns.

The Bucs also made changes on defense as they let verteran corner Darrelle Revis leave for the New England Patriots. The Bucs did a nice job of replacing Revis with Alterraun Verner. The Bucs got Verner at a reasonable price and he's in the prime of his career. It is yet to be seen if he will pick up the slack, but it shows that the Bucs are making some serious changes.
The Bucs have a very bright future and there is no doubt that they will be a tough team in the future, but not now. They will have a good start to the season but will fail to match up to the tougher teams in the division as the Buccaneers settle for a third place finish in the NFC South.

The McMurry men's soccer team came up short in its season opener Thursday, falling to Concordia University 2-0 at Edwards Field.
Pep Rangel got the Tornadoes on the board early as he capitalized on a turnover in the goalie box at 2:43, making it 1-0. It was the only goal of the half.
Rangel dominated the pitch in the second half, scoring his second goal off a deflection that made the score 2-0. McMurry had multiple scoring chances, but the Concordia netminder was solid and kept a clean sheet.
Antoine Freitas Jr. had two shots on goal for the War Hawks. Ryan Prince and Matthew Carroll added a shot each. None could find the back of the net.
McMurry returns today to take on crosstown rivals Hardin-Simmons at Edwards Field at 4:30 p.m.
ACU blanked by Dallas Baptist
The Abilene Christian women's soccer team was dealt a surprising loss Thursday, falling 2-0 in their season opener against Dallas Baptist. It was the Patriots' first win over the Wildcats since 2008.
The Patriots put the pressure on ACU senior netminder Arielle Moncure, placing 11 of 19 shots on goal. Lindsey Eccles scored in the third minute on an assist from Ashley Cox and took the 1-0 lead into halftime.
Danielle Presley scored the second goal for Dallas in the 63rd minute with assistance from Lea Sedwick.
Dallas Baptist's defense allowed only five shots in the game. Goalkeeper Kerry Edwards was forced to make just two saves.
The loss was the first regular-season defeat for the Wildcats since Sept. 26, 2010. The last time they lost a season opener was in 2008 when they fell to Missouri Southern.
ACU returns to the pitch at 3 p.m. Sunday when it hosts Our Lady of the Lake.
Quick strike downs War Hawks
Lubbock Christian scored two goals just nine seconds apart in the second half to beat the McMurry women's soccer team, 3-1.
The Chaps took an early 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Ashley Griffs. McMurry equalized with nine minutes left in the half off Kristen Grant's first goal of the season. Rachel Moore picked up an assist.
Brooke Wendl scored two goals in the second half snapping the stalemate and giving the Chaps a decisive victory.
McMurry is off until Sept. 7 when it visits Northeastern State University.

About Our Annual Campus Safety Report
Download Hartwick's Annual Campus Safety Report (pdf document) here.
Information on Crime Statistics Preparation and Reporting
The procedures for preparing the annual disclosure of crime statistics include reporting statistics to the College community obtained from the following sources: Hartwick College Campus Safety, Oneonta Police Department, Delaware County Sheriff's Department, and New York State Police and non-Campus Safety officials (as defined below). For statistical purposes, crime statistics reported to any of these sources are recorded in the calendar year the crime was reported.
A written request for statistical information is made on an annual basis to all College directors and department heads (non-Campus Safety officials). Statistical information is requested and provided to Campus Safety by the employees at the College Counseling Center, even though they are not required by law to provide statistics for the compliance document.
Specific Information about Classifying Crime Statistics for this Report
The statistics in this report are published in accordance with the standards and guidelines used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook and federal law (the Clery Act).
The number of victims involved in a particular incident is indicated in the statistics column for the following crime classifications: Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter, Forcible and Non-Forcible Sex Offenses, Aggravated Assault. For example, if an aggravated assault occurs and there are three victims, this would be counted as three aggravated assaults in the crime statistics chart.
The number reflected in the statistics for the following crime categories includes one offense per distinct operation: Robbery, Burglary, Larceny, and Arson. For example, if five students are walking across campus together and they are robbed, this would count as one instance of robbery in the crime statistics chart.
In cases of motor vehicle theft, each vehicle stolen is counted as a statistic.
In cases involving Liquor Law, Drug Law, and Illegal Weapons violations, each person who was arrested is indicated in the arrest statistics.
The statistics captured under the "Referred for Disciplinary Action" section for Liquor Law, Drug Law, and Illegal Weapons violations indicates the number of people referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and found responsible for violating those specific laws. Being found responsible includes a referral that resulted in disciplinary action being initiated by Student Judicial Affairs and a record of the action being kept on file.
The statistics in the Hate Crime chart are separated by category of prejudice, but the numbers for each specific crime category are part of the overall statistics reported for each year. The only exception to this is the addition of Simple Assault to the Hate Crime chart. If a hate crime occurs where there is bodily injury, the law requires that the statistic be reported as a hate crime even though there is no requirement to report the crime classification in any other area of the compliance document.
Specific Information about the Crime Statistics Reported by Hartwick
Statistics for "Residential Facilities" are also counted in the "On Campus" crime category. The law requires institutions to break out the number of "on campus" crimes that occur in residential facilities. Statistics for the category of larceny are not required by law, but are provided in the interest of acquainting students with the Hartwick environment.
Statistics under the heading of "Referred for Disciplinary Action" includes individuals referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. The numbers include referrals that are made via Campus Safety incident reports and reports provided directly to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs from other members of the Hartwick community.
The crime statistics for residence halls that are outside the campus boundaries are captured in the non-campus column, i.e. Pine Lake.
Geography definitions are taken directly from the Clery Act
On Campus--defined as: (1) Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of or in a manner related to the institution's educational purposes, including residence halls; and (2) Any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area identified in item (1) that is owned by the institution but controlled by another person, is frequently used by students, and supports institutional purposes (such as a food or retail vendor).
Non-Campus Building Or Property--defined as: (1) Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by the institution; or (2) Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used in direct support of or in relation to the institution's educational purposes, is frequently used by students, and is not within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.
Public Property--defined as: All public property, including thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking facilities, that is within the campus or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
Hate Crime: A hate or bias-related crime is not a separate, distinct crime, but is the commission of a criminal offense that was motivated by the offender's bias. For example, a subject assaults a victim, which is a crime. If the facts of the case indicate that the offender was motivated to commit the offense because of his/her bias against the victim's race, sexual orientation, etc...the assault is then also classified as a hate/bias crime.
Hartwick College crime statistics do not include crimes that occur in privately owned homes or businesses within or adjacent to the campus boundaries.

Britney Spears Ranks the Top "BS" Stories Written About Her in 2009
Britney Spears' early New Year's resolution? To separate fact from fiction.
The singer unveiled a "BS Alert" page on her Web site Monday in an effort to call out the 75 most outlandish and untrue stories written about her over the last 12 months.
Find out what Britney and other stars are grateful for this holiday season.
"There were more then 13,000 stories written about Britney in 2009," the blog, posted by Spears' manager, Adam Leber, reads. "We ranked the ones we believe were the most ridiculous. Either because they were factually inaccurate, because they reported the patently absurd, or because we believe they are simply offensive to the sensibilities."
Check out photos of Britney during her Circus concert tour.
What was the biggest B.S. story in the year of Britney Spears?
A January U.K. tabloid report that the singer was dating Indian choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, and introduced the Bollywood dance star to her parents over an intimate New Year's Eve dinner party. (Spears is actually dating her 37-year-old agent, Jason Trawick.)
See Britney's 2009 hot body transformation!
Also on the list were rumors that the singer's dad, Jamie, and manager, Larry Rudolph, were looking to set up Spears with actors including Chace Crawford, Jesse Metcalfe and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, the fifteenth most ridiculous story, according to Team Britney.
Look back at adorable photos of Brit with her family.
Spears' kids, Sean, 4, and Jayden, 3, also made the rumor mill, being called out in the top 20 after allegedly causing damage to a $2,000-a-night suite at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Casino where their mom performed during her Circus tour.

Friday Photo: Dramatic Skies over Florida Bay
Florida Bay, an estuary at the southern tip of Everglades National Park, is a unique 500,000 acre water wilderness. Florida Bay's diverse and complex series of shallow basins surrounded by mangroves and dominated by seagrass meadows create vital habitats for a variety of wildlife, including the West Indian manatee, roseate spoonbill, and sawfish. NPCA's Sun Coast Regional Office has been working for years to promote conservation projects, boater education, clear signage for bay users, and sufficient funding for park officials at Everglades National Park to adequately manage its many natural wonders, including Florida Bay.
Thanks to the talented Gainesville-based photographer Mac Stone for allowing NPCA to use several of his vibrant images of Florida Bay to help capture how special it is and inspire more people to help preserve it. Learn more about NPCA's work protecting the bay on our website.

"Even as Congress is focusing on financial practices that have badly hurt our economy, the House and Senate are acting on legislation that speaks to what is best about America: a bill to substantially expand opportunities for community and volunteer service…
We've heard a great deal lately about toxic assets. By approving this legislation, Congress and the President can mobilize a very different kind of asset, one found in abundance in every community: the American spirit of service and generosity.
We know from talking to our members and from our survey research that boomers and older Americans stand ready to do more…
AARP urges the Senate to "create the good" by passing national service legislation this week. "

PtD - Reinforced Concrete Design - Instructor's Manual
July 2013
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 2013-135
A strategic goal of the Prevention through Design (PtD) Plan for the National Initiative is for designers, engineers, machinery and equipment manufacturers, health and safety (H&S) professionals, business leaders, and workers to understand the PtD concept. Further, they are to apply these skills and this knowledge to the design and redesign of new and existing facilities, processes, equipment, tools, and organization of work. In accordance with the PtD Plan, this module has been developed for use by educators to disseminate the PtD concept and practice within the undergraduate engineering curricula.
The module outlines the motivations for PtD, encourages inclusion of worker health and safety considerations early in the design process, and identifies hazards associated with the construction of reinforced concrete. Topics include the reinforced concrete design, detailing, fabrication and erection processes. Examples are provided to enable structural engineers and detailers to incorporate PtD into their reinforced concrete designs.

When will the RV Park at NBVC Port Hueneme be finished?
Question: The RV Park that was under construction at Port Hueneme has been idle for months now. When will work start, and when will we be able to use that beautiful new facility? I asked before and was told there was a problem with the contract.
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry and for giving me a chance to address your concerns. The contractor who was working on the RV Park at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, went out of business, leaving the project incomplete. It took some time, but as of last week, the new contract has been awarded, and we are just waiting on the new contractor to submit the paperwork necessary to get started.
We expect that the needed work will take approximately 120 days to complete, giving us a nice, new RV Park in January or February. We appreciate everyone's patience while we've worked around this unfortunate delay.
I also appreciate the great feedback you've all provided through this Ask the Captain forum, my CO's Suggestion Box online at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. We've been able to clear up confusion, correct errors and even discuss policy changes, all based on your feedback.
Oh, and by the way, a couple of weeks ago, a submitter asked about extending hours at the Navy Exchange, and although we can't extend the hours year-round, the Exchange manager has decided to keep the NEX open until 8 p.m. for the holiday season, beginning Oct. 1. That's great news!

DH's best friend's wife just got put on bedrest. In the hospital. :( She's carrying twins at 28 weeks and is funneling, at 17mm, and the membranes are wedging into the cervix.
What's the best/most helpful thing you've heard while on bedrest? :-/
She's across the country from me, so I can't visit. We were thinking of sending an edible arrangement or something of the like. I have ANOTHER friend who hda the same thing (twins, 27 weeks funneling cervix and she went into labor...then went to carry the babies to term). I'm hoping that the one currently in the hospital hearing from the one who went through it and came out on the other side with two happen healthy little ones will ease the worry.
I'm tickled pink about the little rock that is my uterus at the moment. It feels like I swallowed a rock and it's just stuck there in my lower abdomen. I had no idea it would feel like this!
Wait, how are you on bedrest and will have limited computer access? Self-imposed deprivation?
Yes, we plan to find out the sex. Our one and only (planned) ultrasound will be December 2. I hope baby cooperates and isn't shy because the ultrasound comes out of our pock (goes toward a deductible, but still our money). I assumed we would just find out right there in the doctor's office, but I've also been thinking maybe we'll take an envelope home and open it together there? Did any of you reserve the opportunity to find out until after the appointment?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
Calycanth - Sending sticky vibes your way. They didn't do any betas on me until 14DPO. So I think it was just early as other ladies have mentioned. I know the worry is awful. Come on June 2012!
Thanks Birdie! I did call the grocery store and felt much better after they said all their cheeses are pasteurized. Love hearing about your baby's growth spurt.
Thanks Hykue! You can wiggle in your chair! Sorry your having trouble sleeping, but you're almost there
ValH Thanks! Hope that you have been able to get some rest, and will keep that tip in mind.
RosieL - your midwives sound great. That's awesome about Community Care as well. I hope your friends and her babies are doing well! An Edible arrangement sounds sweet. about your rock.
Tank - hope your BP goes down with rest and stays down. I am sure DP understands, it sounds frustrating but you are almost there as well. I mentioned bed rest and DH was like you better not need bed rest...we can't afford it. Yeah he's been awesome so far...(He's getting better....)
AFM - I can't sleep. I've read its normal so I'm good. I am not complaining because I wanted this so bad, but sleep would be nice. Then my allergies are awful. I was taking Rhinocort (back in the day I went and switched all meds to ones that would be safer in pregnancy) but it was so long ago that its been expired for almost a year. I only used it twice and decided not to use it anymore. I'm checking out what is safe for sleep and allergies.
I know naps are bad, but Ima go try!
My twins are here! Thank God everyday for answered
Bel, I'm so sorry you can't sleep! Sleep deprivation is such an awful feeling. One of the sleep meds I've been taking for isn't safe for pregnancy, so I had to stop taking it, but I am still taking Ambien (which is Category B) every night. I know some pregnant women use Benadryl for occasional sleeplessness. Thanks for the sticky vibes! I'm still peeing on sticks to reassure myself. The test lines have gone from barely perceptible a week ago to darker than the control. I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I feel hopeful when I look at the progression.
Rosie, how scary for your friend! Your midwives sound amazing. I love that they encourage all the pregnant moms to meet one another and share stories - what a terrific resource for you! Any sense of whether your baby is a boy or a girl? My DH wants it to be a surprise, but I want to know because I think it will facilitate bonding. I want to know as much as possible about the little stranger I'll be carrying for nine months.
Tank, I hope your BP levels out so you can get back on your feet. How frustrating! It's so hard to be sedentary when you're normally a busy person.
Birdie, don't stay gone too long!
Does anyone know what body temperature is supposed to look like in early pregnancy? I know it's typically elevated, and mine has been between 99 and 100 all week. I'm trying to decide if it's pregnancy-related or if I'm fighting off an infection. Otherwise, my symptoms so far pretty much look like PMS - occasional mild cramps, bloating, tender (though not terribly so) breasts. Really hoping for good news tomorrow.
Tank: I hope your bedrest is very temporary, or that you can find some amount of peace with it if you must.
Birdie: I'm glad that you've found some peace with it. You should be proud, and so should your husband.
Bel: Whoever told you that naps are bad was lying. Naps are very very good. And I hope you can find an allergy med that works.
Caly: My early pregnancy temps were considerably higher than any temperatures I had had before. I don't know what your normal baseline is, but that sounds fine to me (as a non-expert, of course). Your symptoms sound just exactly like my symptoms were at that point. I know it's hard to feel any kind of confidence, but those symptoms are exactly what most people feel, and then they slowly change, and then they feel their babies move, and then they give birth to adorable babies, who eat and cry and poop. It's very likely that everything is going just exactly as it should in there, from the sounds of things. I hope you get your numbers back and they help you feel the truth of that. I still have a good feeling about your bean. And I normally don't "feel" much about such things. I'm always hopeful for people but I seldom can say that I have any intuition at all about it. In your case, I do seem to have an intuition, and it is a good one.
Stopping by to say I'm thinking of you today, Caly! I echo Hykue's sentiments.
And wow Hykue, you're at 38! We are gonna have a bajingo juice baby bonanza in the next month.
Just got my beta results from Friday. My hCG was 147 and progesterone was 16.5! Oh my god, I am so relieved!!!
Thank you all so much for your support this past week. I know it's very early and that something could still go wrong, but I feel so much better knowing that, for now, there's no reason to worry. Hykue, I hope your intuition is right!
My first nurse's visit is scheduled for December 5. I'll be 11 weeks. Seems like an awfully long time to wait! Is it normal to wait until you're that far along for your first prenatal visit?
Yay Caly!!!! Fyi my temps have not been that high during pregnancy. I think they were only a little higher than normal pre-pregnancy levels. I was curious and took my temp yesterday...97.9. Around here the first appointments are usually at about 8 weeks, but they don't do much except give you another pregnancy test and take your hormone levels. Since you've already done that may be why they're waiting till later.
Hope the bed rest ladies are hanging in there!

Today is my first day home with Kayden now that all the inlaws have left, and DH has gone back to work. My parents left yesterday and DH's first day at work is today. Now I'm in for it! Right now Kayden is sitting in his swing babbling away at the litter critters in the mobile twirling around his head. Hopefully he stays this happy!
Quick pic of Kayden with my dad, he was 11 weeks here:

That is awesome Caly! I agree with others that you probably have one at 11 weeks because you already had one to confirm you are pregnant. It might be really good to have one then as your next one because they will almost definatly be able to hear a heartbeat with a doppler. I am so excited for you!!!
Livingsky what an awesome picture of Kayden. He looks so happy. Good luck with your first day alone. You will be fine.
AFM: Went to the midwife this morning. I saw a different midwife. She seemed to think that my BP was ok since it has been sort of high lately but just under the number they worry about for hypertension or pre e. I feel a lot better. I was really stressed about it. So no more bedrest. I seriously admire Birdie for dealing with bedrest because I went crazy at just 3 days of it and not even strict bedrest! when leaving the midwifes office she said see you next week, or even sooner! I know I have been saying that I want him out now and I am ready but it felt even more real to have my midwife say something about him possibly arriving before next week! I am hoping for next week or the week after that. That would be perfect. This week would be nice to have for myself to get stuff done and rest up some more. I am really likeing being able to actually sleep through the day if I need it.
Awesome vegan mom to wolverine 11/11 and sabertooth 11/13 and partner to a we also have
Caly - Big huge celebration! My first question was going to be "when will your signature change?" I see it already has! I'm brimming with joy for you. You're knocked up, baby! Heheee.
My first appointment was at 11wks, but I had a panic stop-in at the MWs house for a quick heart listen at one point I think 9w4d. The weeks up until that opinet seemed to d r a g on by, but the weeks after have picked up speed. Probably from being in class, but maybe also because the newness of it all was over. Enjoy these weeks and my fingers are crossed that you have an easy first tri. :)
LS - That picture looks SO HAPPY. I can't wait for pictures of my dad and baby. How precious and perfect of a moment.
birdie - I have heard the cake idea before, and I actually think it is quite cute. I *used* to think it was ridiculously corny, but I think it would be fun to kind of make the moment extra special. I anticipate feeling an immediate increase of "knowing" my child when I find out. I've been writing to the baby in a journal sporadically, and part of the reason it's sporadic is because I don't know the gender. Anyway, I don't know if we'll do a cake (i don't eat cake and I don't think it'll be anyone besides DH and I), but I will want to make it special somehow. :)
Who, numb spot on belly seems odd. For all that googling is bad for, I've found it good for questions like "is this normal"? So far, each time I've asked google this style of question, the answer has been "yes" and I feel better.
I second the use of neti pots! I never had a need before now, but DH SWEARS by his neti pot.
Tank - Glad your numbers are back down and no more berets. I chuckled at the "want baby to come now!" and "no, wait, gimme another week!" Are there any signs that you're ready to go?
ValH - If you're out there reading I just wanted to say hope you're enjoying a sweet etended baby moon and getting to know Jacob is going well. <3
AFM - I'm completely procrastinating on writing a paper tonight for a prof and a class I'm really disappointed with. It was required, so no way around it, but the class is just terrible! I'm watching my dogs steal bones from each other. One chews for a while while the other looms around him, kind of stalking. Then the chewer stops for a second, the bone gets swiped, and the stealer goes and settles into chewing. This goes back and forth and back and forth, with no animosity. This is a sign of boredom, however, and me not exercising them enough. Sigh. They are silly and find cute but odd ways to entertain themselves.

Caly: My first appointment was at around 11 weeks as well. It was hard to wait that long, but it made me feel better in the end, I think. That way I didn't have a long time after the doctor's appointment before I was in the relative safety of the second trimester. Think of how good you'll feel when you get to have a good appointment, and then enter the second trimester and feel safer! Like Rosie, I felt like the first trimester dragged on so slowly, and the second went quite a bit faster, and the third has just flown by. In my case, I think it's because I was so worried at the start. I hope you don't feel like that, it was really difficult. I suspect that you probably do. All I can say is that the worry is NOT an indication of an actual problem.
Livingsky: That picture of your dad with Kayden is fantastic. It makes me very happy to see grandparent with baby pictures . . . I am such a nerd, I'm already getting high hopes for being a grandparent someday. Can we say "putting the cart before the horse"? Anyway, it's a great picture. I'm glad that your first day home with just you and Kayden started out so well, I hope it continued that way!
Birdie: I'm feeling a bit of cramping on and off, really it feels like menstrual cramps. Just minor ones. A few braxton-hicks. Never more than once or twice in an hour, usually only once or twice a day. I don't have any particular feeling that I'm getting close. The only reason I have for thinking that is kind of weird, in fact. My dog has a "leaking" problem - she doesn't make enough estrogen and so she sometimes leaks pee when she's sleeping. I noticed last year that it seemed to be tied to my menstrual cycle - she wouldn't leak except during a particular part of my cycle. She hasn't leaked significantly for the whole pregnancy, even though we haven't been giving her her meds (I didn't want to handle fake estrogen when DH was gone). Four days ago, she leaked a huge puddle while sleeping, then again the next night. So maybe, just possibly, my hormone levels are changing right now, and it's causing that? In which case . . . it could still be weeks. I'm trying not to worry about it too much, just taking it as it comes. I'll have a baby one of these days, and I might not get to know what day until it's well underway. :) And I also find it amusing how active baby gets when I self-hypnotize. I'm hoping that once baby's outside we can work out some sort of compromise, where we both try to match the other's activity level. Sorry your laptop is out of town, that seems to be bad timing!
Tank: I'm glad your bp was cleared! And thanks for the reminder that really Birdie is a hero for dealing so well with her bedrest, I know it must be hard. I'm sure you could too, if you had to, but I'm glad you don't have to. I know what you mean about wanting baby here soon but also wanting more time to get stuff done and get some sleep. I think it's good to focus on whatever is good about the current situation - so since we don't have our babies yet, we can be happy that we have more time to get stuff done, and once they arrive, we can be happy that we get to meet them. It sounds like you're doing a good job of doing that too.
Rosie: Maybe you could get some other sort of filled item . . . like burritos or crepes or spring rolls or whatever. Burritos - lettuce if a boy, tomato if a girl. Or whatever works for you. Possibly I'm a weirdo, but I think it's just as fun, and if you don't eat cake it seems like it would work. I'm also writing in a journal to baby, VERY sporadically. Like maybe twice. I'm thinking I'll continue it until they're big, though. Give it to them as an adult, maybe. I like that idea, although it might be hard to keep it secret until then. I read my dad's journals from when he was a young man (with his permission) and I really liked reading them. We'll see if I really have time to do any such thing, but I love the idea. My dog is also very bored - I'm too pregnant and my husband is too busy for her to get her requisite amount of activity. Unfortunately, she doesn't have another dog to play bored games with, so she mostly wants to go and catch chickens. Apparently what she wants to do is carry them back to her spot and then pull out their tail feathers, not kill them . . . but they get so stressed by that unfortunate happening that it kills them. We saved the last one, but it only has one tail feather left. And now the dog's tied up all the time, so she's twice as bored. We're trying pretty hard to get her enough fun and exercise, but we don't always succeed. Poor mutt. Hopefully once baby's here we can all walk together, with baby in the wrap.
AFM: Our house in insulated, hallelujah! Seriously, that's a huge relief. There are still about a billion things that need doing before winter, but we have firewood and insulation, and we have about one million tomatoes in the freezer (they all ripened really fast!), a cold room full of potatoes, carrots, and beets, and we have a big fat lamb that is ready to be slaughtered. Shelter, check, food, check! We can already tell the difference with our insulated house. We can light a fire, get the house up to 70 degrees, and when we wake up in the morning it's still 62. This is when it's 23 degrees outside at night. Last year at this time, we were lucky if our house was 50 when we woke up in the morning. Yay, warmth! I was really hoping to have that done before there was a tiny little baby trying to learn to thermoregulate in our house. Our new chicken coop is almost finished, too, so hopefully this year we won't have any frostbitten toes. Or if we do it will be because they chose to go out and stand in the cold. We built the nest boxes and brooder box yesterday, and are hoping to do the roosts today (if I can muster the energy). Then we'll be pretty much done except moving the electric fence. Ack! I'm making myself think of everything that needs doing! I guess I'm going to go and try to get some stuff done!
RosieL: We actually did do the cake thing for announcing whether it was a boy or girl, at our baby shower We made cupcakes and filled them with blue icing to let everyone know.
Hykue: YAY for insulation!! I completely understand. This year we added 300 sq feet on to our house by enclosing our porch, and it's WONDERFUL - and it's also the only room in our whole house that is insulated with fiberglass instead of sawdust And the only room with proper windows! Maybe next year we can get the rest of it properly insulated.... we'll see

That is so cool. It would be really neat to have the pregnant woman bite into the cupcake with the dad next to her so both of them can see the color inside first but at the same time and then turn the cupcake around for the rest of the friends/family to see.
Hykue I am glad you got your house insulated. I am envious. Our house doesn't stay warm and we use wood heat too. We go to bed and the fire goes out and the next morning the house is ice cold and we have to start from scratch. This year I made my landlord fix the oil heat though so we can use that and only supplment with the fireplace. It just got finished and we haven't tried it out because we haven't bought oil yet. I am so scared of how expensive it will be. We are really tight on money right now but I know it is important to get the heat running before the baby comes (I know I know I am running out of time!)
I spent the whole day out of the house today and it felt WONDERFUL!!! I probably spent too much money but I wasn't frivelous. I also got to have lunch with my good friend who I haven't seen since my baby shower. I'm feeling really positive about everything right now.
Awesome vegan mom to wolverine 11/11 and sabertooth 11/13 and partner to a we also have
Yay for a Hykue update! As always, I love reading them. Congrats on getting the house insulated. I remember how much of a change replacing six windows in our already-insulated house was. I can only imagine the dramatic difference where you are, in the cold, with a whole house done! Pretty awesome.
It's really interesting that your pup responds to your hormone changes. Dogs have such incredible systems attuned to us humans, but I didn't know it was hormonal too! Pretty neat.
I'm jealous of your cold room. I don't have a room that stays cool enough while we heat the rest of the house to even keep pumpkins and winters squashes for long. :( I thought I was all set, but I noticed that two have become soft. Maybe that was just those two. This is the first year I've had such an abundance of pumpkins that they'll last past thanksgiving. I've already roasted and purreed a bunch and froze the puree (I'm basking in the luxury of my new deep-freeze, not canning like I should!).
Sounds like you're all set for baby to arrive.
I love the burrito idea. :D
Tank - Hurrah for good days out. :)

I am having tons of symptoms but none of the really defining ones. I lost 2 lbs in a week but have been very hungry. I have a big increase in BH contractions. Have been feeling crampy off and on. I haven't had solid poop in a week at least.
He definatly hasn't dropped and I haven't lost my mucus plug or anything major like that.

Hey Tank, I see in your signature that you have a water birth sticky, are you still planning on trying that? I'm curious becuase our hospital allows rented tubs to be brought in and we're thinking about doing that.

Nope, nothing much going on here labor-wise.
Thanks for all the congratulations on the warmer house, I'm pretty darned excited about it.
Tank - I hope that the oil furnace makes a huge difference without costing too much! We talked about getting natural gas run to our house (it runs within a mile or two) but it's way too expensive. We're hoping that this will be all we need, and we can just use our wood heat.
Just wanted to pop in, now I'm going to go and help DH install the washing machine.
Ram yes I am still planning on a water birth. At the hospital I am birthing at most of the rooms have large tubs for water births. It was one of the main reasons we decided it was ok to have a hospital birth. Not all of the rooms have them but my midwives said that the room are hardly ever full and there is a regular tub in every room. I have heard such good things about water births for natural pain relief and water is always really soothing and relaxing to me. I love watching videos of water births, they always seem so calm.

Building on the School's successful health programs, the new undergraduate program in public health will prepare students to address continuing and emerging health challenges on a broader scale through the development and implementation of health promotion and health protection strategies targeted at individuals, groups, and communities. The undergraduate program in public health will prepare graduates for entry-level career opportunities in a variety of settings as well as prepare students for graduate studies in public health or other related fields.
Although the U.S. spends far more on medical care than any other nation, these investments in health care have not resulted in improved health outcomes. In fact, the U.S. ranks well below many of its global counterparts and competitors on a number of health outcomes including, overall life expectancy and the incidence of preventable diseases and injuries. According to a recent Institute of Medicine report, "a fundamental but often overlooked driver of the imbalance between spending and outcomes is the nation's inadequate investment in strategies that promote health and prevent disease and injury population-wide." The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has placed renewed focus on health promotion and disease prevention and the need for more professionals who are able to develop policies, conduct research, and implement strategies to improve the nation's health outcomes.
As a broad based, interdisciplinary discipline, the undergraduate public health program curriculum capitalizes on the strengths of faculty in the School of Health Sciences as well as faculty in the School of Arts, Education, and Sciences. The program incorporates curriculum guidelines and undergraduate learning outcomes recently developed by the Association of Schools of Public Health. Graduates of the program will be prepared to work in a variety of settings and engage in a wide range of health promotion, health protection, and disease prevention activities. At the completion of the program, it is expected that graduates will have the necessary knowledge and understanding related to:

Recent news from Russia says that, early on Friday morning, a meteorite allegedly crashed in the country's Chelyabinsk region.
While some maintain that only one such piece of solid debris fell in this region, others claim that Russia actually experienced being hit by several meteorites.
According to Gawker, the country is supposed to have been hit by just one meteorite, which has been intercepted by Russian military forces and broken down into bits and pieces presumed by some to be distinct and self-standing meteorites.
Information made available to the general public thus far says that, when hitting the Chelyabinsk region, the meteorite parts caused major explosions that have affected several buildings located in the proximity of the impacted locations.
Thus, windows have reportedly been broken and several people have been injured by the glass shards that have gone flying through the air.
However, given the fact that the Chelyabinsk region is not a densely populated one, it seems that not all that many individuals have been affected by this meteorite crash.
Despite the fact that some of these people have required medical attention following their being hit by the glass shards or simply shaken up by the explosions that accompanied the meteorite fall, no deaths have been reported.
The same source informs us that, in the aftermath of this meteorite crash, local authorities have been left with no choice except evacuate the schools and the buildings found in the affected area.
Huffington Post quotes a Twitter post written by a woman allegedly living in the area, i.e. Bukreeva Olga, which reads as follows:
"My windows were not smashed, but I first thought that my house is being dismantled, then I thought it was a UFO, and my eventual thought was an earthquake."
Apparently, this woman is not alone in believing that the meteorite fall was actually a UFO crash, and that this is precisely why information concerning this incident is, for the time being at least, rather difficult to come by.
The video below allegedly shows the meteorite fall. Just for the record, its authenticity is yet to be confirmed. Hopefully, more news on this topic will soon follow.
