Hyenas and Humans in the Horn of Africa
Gade, Daniel W., The Geographical Review
Cultural-historical geography provides a distinctive perspective on the human/animal interface by connecting the present with the past and the particulars of the biophysical with the cultural. Scholars who have explored animals in other disciplines have rarely predicated their studies on convergence of the two dimensions through time. Examined here is a relationship, broadly symbiotic yet also conflictive, (1) between the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) and the culturally diverse peoples in the Horn of Africa. (2) If the roots of this connection originated in the distant past, only the last half-millennium is knowable, and but a fraction of that is retrievable. Integrating time, space, culture, and ecology with the many recorded observations of an animal species in one broad region offers more than the demonstration of a time-honored geographical approach. Reconstructing an interrelationship reaching back into time raises issues about the normative place of Homo sapiens at the top of the food chain and the need for a common groundwork of explanation that links humans to the same biological processes as the rest of life on earth. The geographical imagination, adept at converging natural history and culture history, can contribute to this project by identifying, collating, and analyzing inchoate topics into an intelligible process and pattern. Debates surrounding land and life can often be clarified when place and temporality frame the connectiveness of phenomena.
Aside from anything this creature does, the spotted hyena stands out for its singular appearance: Heavy shoulders, sloping back, large head, and wide mouth make this animal seem larger than its actual weight of 50 to 90 kilograms. Upper and lower premolar teeth in those heavily muscled jaws form a powerful pair of shears. Forelimbs longer than the hind legs produce a lumbering gait that, together with luminescent eyes, adds to its fearsome reputation (Figure 1). A dozen distinctive vocalizations allow communication within and between clans in this most social of species in the order Carnivora. An eerie whoop call and a sound that resembles the laugh of a demented person are the two tonalities that wildlife watchers invariably remark upon. Humans also comment on its purported offensive odor, although it is not clear how much of that comes from glandular secretions, feeding habits, or the practice of rolling in strong-smelling regurgitated material.
Most unusual for a mammalian species is its sexual mimicry: Not only is the clitoris of the female similar to the penis of the male in size, shape, and erectile ability, it also has a urogenital function and doubles as a birthing canal. Cross-gender resemblance advanced a widespread belief going back to Classical Antiquity that this animal was either hermaphroditic or capable of changing its sex from year to year. Even though close observation disproved those ancient assertions, current folklore about the spotted hyena revolves around similar suppositions. Stephen Gould (1981) explained physiognomic convergence of the sexes as a case of accidental evolution, whereas Martin Muller and Richard Wrangham (2002) interpreted it as an evolutionary adaptation of females directing their aggression more toward females than to males. Fierce behavior may start in the den when a stronger cub kills its weaker sibling (Frank, Glickman, and Licht 1991). Unlike other mammals, female spotted hyenas are larger and more aggressive than their male counterparts. Their different characteristics together have prompted Africans to judge them negatively (Schwartz 2005). Scientists who have studied them agree that these animals are intelligent and adaptable (Kruuk 1972; Glickman 1995).
Most studies of the spotted hyena have come from research in East Africa, where the animal is a conspicuous carnivore in an ecosystem that features a large ungulate biomass (Kruuk 1972). …

He begins to consider the difference between the dark #WE CONSCIOUSNESS of the cave dwelling in Blue Mountain and the radiant, illuminating #I AM CONSCIOUSNESS of the PAlace. He promises to lead the Wolfriders to their Chosen destination.Shortly before arriving at the Palace on the Gliders' pet giant hawks, the part is besieged by a secret artillery bunker of the Ice-Trolls. The very first shot displays the precision of these crude metallurgists: an artillery spear that pierces direct-through Lord Voll's sternum. Cutter rides on the same bird and the same spear almost punctures his throat.The remaining Wolfriders are thrown to the grownd amidst the confusion and are assaulted from all corners by a gang of hungry Ice-Trolls.The End of EQ#15 contains arguably the most brutal fighting in the entire series.

Now, apparently, the "classy" parents around school are upping the anti. Not content with a car park and an adjoining coffee shop, they want to create a different kind of impression.
So, after watching this unfold at school this week, I give you a run down of how to be a classy parent -
1. Run a little bit late for school. Blame your children.
2. Drive slightly erratically at 60km in a 40km zone.
3. Slow down a little, maybe, as you approach the school crossing. Or don't bother to slow down - apparently this is optional.
4. Don't worry about indicating, this is optional as well, when you pull into a cul-de-sac to turn around.
5. You could use the cul-de-sac to do a full turn, or you could just turn in the roadway, holding up all of the traffic. Yeah, good plan, hold up all the traffic.
6. This has the added benefit of blocking sight of the oncoming traffic from all children and parents who are trying to cross to the school gate.
7. If anyone dares look at you the wrong way for this, do not hesitate in giving them the finger. Honestly, they will be so appalled it is laughable, and it will give them a giggle. Go the finger. It's all class.
8. As you wait to turn around, light a cigarette. It will kill a few minutes. Oh, you have children in the back of the car?
Apparently this doesn't matter. One of the children is young enough to still be in a booster seat? No matter, light up anyway.
9. When you finally pull into the kiss and drop zone, get out (still with fag in hand, obviously) to get the kids school bags out of the boot. Let the kids out but don't bother to kiss them goodbye. Watch them run
10. When a concerned parent loudly wonders whether it is indeed against the law in SA to smoke in cars carrying children, give them a hair flick, straighten your puffa jacket, hop back into your four wheel drive that has never been off road in its life (but sees plenty of filth from the fags on the inside), and drive away, again, at 60km, despite the fact that its a 40km zone.
And finally, congratulate yourself that you are the classiest parent ever. Not.
You disgust me.

Article: [Study on the characterization of beta-cyclodextrin-diferrocenylenone inclusion complex and micro-environmental effects].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The structure of the inclusion complex of diferrocenylenone and beta-cyclodextrin prepared by a novel method of solid-grinding was studied by UV, FTIR and powder X-ray diffractometry. Continuous variation plot proved that 2 : 3 (DFE : beta-CD) inclusion complex has been formed. The binding constant of the inclusion compound was found to be 1.48 x 10(15) (L4 x mol(-4)) with the data of UV spectroscopy. Furthermore, the influence of different solvents and pH on the UV spectrum of DFE and beta-CD-DFE was discussed respectively. The results show that different micro-environment has apparently different effects on the electric spectra of guest and inclusion complex.

- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes longer or until mixture turns a light amber color (mixture will be very hot).
- Quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla until light and foamy. Immediately pour onto prepared pan; spread with a metal spatula. Cool; break into pieces. Yield: 3/4 pound.

This lomograph may be eerie and haunting but this didn't stop the community for giving it the recognition it deserves!
Its distorted and shaky quality can easily make this lomograph by bkspicture part of a horror movie's storyboard. Add the grains and black and white charcter for the total old Hollywood movie feel.

Faculty Senate Meeting Overview May 2012
The Faculty Senate is part of UofL's shared governance system, which also includes the Staff Senate and the Student Government Association. Senators are elected by their peers.
The full body met in special election and in regular sessions May 2 in Chao Auditorium at Ekstrom Library. Chair Bob Staat presided. This is what happened:
Election Session
Joe Steffen, associate professor of biology, was elected Faculty Senate chair for 2012-13. Pam Feldhoff, associate professor of biochemistry, was elected vice chair and chair of the senate's Executive Committee for 2012-13. They will assume their posts at the September meeting.
Regular Session
Action Items
- The senate approved creation of a Certificate in Prosthodontics program in the School of Dentistry. The program would be the only one in Kentucky. Prosthodontics is a higher level of specialty training for dentists. Of the 18 in Kentucky, only nine are seeing patients. When at full capacity, six students would be enrolled in it. The proposal and other documents are here.
- The senate had the first reading of the University Libraries personnel documents revisions. The body will vote on the revisions in June.
- Sen. Elaine Wise, humanities and Faculty Athletic Representative, explained proposed changes to the student excused absence policy. The changes are intended to make clearer faculty responsibility to students when they have missed class because he or she was representing the university. The senate will vote on the policy changes in June.
Reports to the Senate
Shirley Willihnganz, provost. The provost reported that she wants to establish a group to look at ways to deal with the challenges higher education faces. She likened the changing landscape, which includes increasingly less state funding, to the days when automobiles replaced the horse and buggy. The change didn't take place at once, she said, but when it did, there was no going back. She explained that she wants to make sure UofL is able to succeed in the new reality of higher education.
James Ramsey, president. Ramsey told the senate that he wanted to depart from his usual spring semester's end report format, which recaps happenings in the General Assembly and with the Council on Postsecondary Education that affect UofL and on the budget. Instead, he brought up several issues that A&S faculty brought to him at an open meeting recently and asked the senate to weigh in on them.
They included working together to improve communication from administration to faculty and faculty to administration and a more transparent budget process.
Senators urged Ramsey and Willihnganz to make a concerted effort to visit units to let faculty know they care for their welfare, and to have open forums where they listen rather than present.
The senators also said that they consider the budgeting process to be transparent because Vice President for Finance Mike Curtin regularly meets with the senates (Faculty, Staff and student) and other constituent groups to share the current budgeting status and because Curtin and Ramsey have forums for students, faculty and staff. They acknowledged, however, that because they are senators, they are more aware of how the process works and where to look for information than many faculty members are.
The Senate will meet again Wednesday, June 6 at the Health Sciences Center.

Mainframe security: good enough for the 21st century?
Security, a watchword of the 21st century, has been strong in mainframe shops for at least the past twenty-five years. Products such as RACF have served as bulwarks of that security. The centralizing aspect of the mainframe has also helped provide a secure environment for an organizations data.
Yet, we all know that no matter how strong the security, it can be broken by someone with sufficient motivation, talent, time and expertise. Fortunately, one needed an inordinate amount of time, talent and expertise to penetrate the twentieth century mainframe, sitting alone in its isolated, air conditioned, locked quarters, served by operators around the clock, understanding a language all its own.

This week has been filled with the joys of painting…but also with a stomach virus in our house. The room had been kind of put on standby for a few days, but now we are back on track! Of course I gratefully accepted help from my brilliant little butterflies who happily threw on Daddy's t-shirts and got to work painting. I have also learned from this painting session that it is much easier to give each child 10 minutes of individual painting time than to give three children 10 minutes of simultaneous painting time. It makes for a happier experience and a happier mama. So, we tried it both ways.
Gifts for the Mamas
This week, we've spent some time making gifts for my mother and for Scott's. The girls helped me with cards and things. I spent some time with some canvas and paint, making a gift for Scott's mama. Our mothers are so very special. They are both amazing grandmothers to our children and I'm so happy to have their influence in our children's lives. The love that they share is unconditional and abundant. They make these kids feel so special each and every time they're around them. Of course, the traditional spoiling does happen, but that's what makes time with the grandmothers so unique. Continue reading
Happy Grandparents Day!
While many people feel like this is just a "holiday" rather than a holiday, I have a profound respect for the wonderful grandparents that my children have and the active roles they play in their lives. Our girls are certainly blessed to have kind and loving grandparents who would, without a doubt, do anything for them. So, while it may remain mainly a Hallmark day for most, we happily recognize those special people in our lives. Happy Grandparents Day to all of you amazing grandparents out there. The moments you spend with those precious babies makes all the difference in the world to them! (Click here to download an updated version of the Grandparent Tree: Happy Grandparent's Day)
In the Works!
I think most of us are usually in the middle of a dozen projects and things, just waiting for the right moment for completion. I am such a person.
At this very moment, I am working on two Sunday School crafts. We are learning about David and Goliath. Tomorrow my kiddos will be throwing water balloons at a 108″ Goliath, made out of a plastic table cloth that I will tape to the outside of our church. That'll be a good time!
Serving Tray Makeover
Well, you know how I love thrifting…and I found something super fun, although it needed a little love, Christy style. I mean, this is nice and very reminiscent of Florida, but it needed a little fixing up.
A Day in the Life of the Ferguson Family
Each morning begins the same. I awake to a child "whispering" in my ear or to the wakeful sounds of a hungry Laelia. There are usually four people in our queen sized bed, but sometimes a fifth person sneaks in there too. Although it's cramped and sometimes there is a complaint or two about who gets to lay by mama, it's usually a snuggly, giggly start to our day.
Then we all get up and go have breakfast.
{Toadstools} another fun, easy-to-make gift for the kids
This was one of the more fun little things that I've made recently and so super cute! As I posted a few days ago, I am trying to center a lot of the toys in our playroom around the tree house that Scott and his dad made for the girls a few years ago. So, one of our newest additions and also part of this year's Christmas gifts for them is this collection of toadstools.
Chloe loves to imagine that fairies live beneath the mushrooms that grow in our yard. I love their imaginations. They are just so precious. In my search for all things natural and fabulous, I found this toadstool idea on Etsy. So of course, I had to make it because it's dreamy.Supplies
- Wooden cabinet door knobs
- Paint
- Paint brush
- Pencil
- Sealant
The How to
When I bought the cabinet knobs (just at a local hardware store), I found three different sizes and I purchased three of each. This will add a little dimension and variety in our tree house scene.
Thanksgiving Hostess Gifts
As we all know, Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching. Is it just me or has this year flown by incredibly fast? November is half way over? Really? I've enjoyed just about every moment, but it just seems to be racing by…such is life with kids, huh? Anyway. I was doing some surfing this evening. I love to look for different ways to spruce up this fabulous holiday. I thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving—from the food to the atmosphere. It really is a tie between Thanksgiving and Christmas for me.
Most of us are attending a Thanksgiving dinner that someone else is hosting this year. I put together a bunch of different things that will make attending Thanksgiving dinner smooth sailing for you and will also make the evening a little lighter for your hard working host and hostess.
Even if you haven't prepared Thanksgiving dinner, I'm sure you already know how much planning and work goes into pulling off such a fabulous dinner and festive atmosphere for a group of people, whether large or small. Today I have some ideas for gifts of appreciation and thanks for your host and hostess.
This gift is simple (and some might find it overdone), but you can really find some fabulous candles out there. One of my favorite places to shop online is Etsy. Most items on Etsy are handmade, which, if you know me you know that handmade is on my list of super awesomeness. My Garden Gate is selling some absolutely gorgeous Birch Bark Candles, which I might pick up for myself.
Our Handmade Home
Do you have lots of handmade things in your home? I was walking out of Laelia's room recently and it dawned on me that almost everything around me had been handmade by someone we love and who apparently loves us too. These things are such a wonderful reminder of those special people—people who live close by and far away, but who we hold so dear in our hearts. I can honestly say that every time I look at one of those items I think of that special person who made it. It's so funny that even in such a small moment of passing by or picking up something my thoughts of that person are triggered. What a blessing! So thank you to all who have graced our home with your love. You are truly special to our family and I'm so happy that you dance across our minds so often.

The Reservoir Trail at Queen Wilhelmina State Park is a short but vigorous hillside walk. It makes a .4-mile (each way) downhill zigzag on the south side of Rich Mountain leading to a historic reservoir.
The trail starts at the wooden walkway at the south end of Queen Wilhelmina Lodge. This spot is also the south trailhead for the Lovers Leap Trail.
From here, the trail heads to the right (west). Pretty quickly, the trail begins its downhill descent.
By its end, the trail descends 200 feet in elevation.

[Slick Rick]
Great, I'm in trouble, I suppose, because I does hit

Traffic came to a hault
I'm like "I beg your pardon, madam, it was truly my fault"
and instead of me yellin and add to no above
Hon, all in my drop dead gorgious love
Pretty? Body definitely curvin, and thirdly
the way she dyed her hair bronze fitted her superbly
Baby, let me say what's on my mind
Take a little time to express myself,
Honey, I think you're fly
Now I don't have no problem sayin what I like
I'd like to spend some time with you
Startin with tonight 'n' I like
I like the way you walk
The sexy way you talk
Ooh I can't help myself
Baby, I like
I like to kiss your lips
And when you move your hips
Ooh I can't help myself
Baby, I like
Here's the situation, I lay it on the line
Meaningless relationships they're wastin all my time
You are the special someone that I wanna get to know
Baby can't you see it in my eyes I wanna take you home
Tonight let's take our time
Do it nice, do it slow
Baby, we got nowhere to go
Oh I hope you don't mind
Oh, I'm comin on real strong
I give good lovin all night long
Oh, I like it

text: First time poster, and in need of some help. Up front I must admit that my knowledge with this stuff is very limited. Here is my layout: - 2 story house (built in 1994). - Have Verizon FIOS (triple play package) - Currently using latest router/modem combo from FIOS (Actiontec MI424WR - Red color) 2nd story - Co-ax from my office into FIOS router/modem (I use Ethernet cat-5E to my iMac). Connection speed that we pay for with FIOS is 35/35, when tested it comes back 43/30 on speedtest site, and the range on my laptop via wi-fi is around 15-20/10-15. 1st floor - Wife's office, wi-fi signal is good in this spot. But if she moves to living room area, it goes down to 2-3 bars (and cuts out now and then). We also have our 60'' LCD in living room with apple tv and blu-ray player. Connection can be spotty at times with these, but not terrible. Basement - Panny 3D Plasma, Panny 3D Blu-Ray, and Xbox-360 (with wi-fi connector). I'm most interested in improving this Xbox connection. While it isn't horrible, when I test the connection down in the basement via wi-fi it is substantially lower than in my office (at least 50% lower). So my questions are this (again I don't know much about this stuff)... 1. Should I invest in a better router? This one (http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Dual-Band-Wireless-N-Router-RT-N56U/dp/B0049YQVHE) tested extremely high on this site on both the WAN-LAN throughput & Total Simultaneous Throughput. 2. Should I try and install myself an Ethernet jack from my office to my wifes office? Her office is right below mine, and we have a phone jack that runs directly above/below (can I substitute this, is that even possible)? 3. Instead of a new router, should I just buy an access point to put down in the 1st floor or basement? 4. With FIOS I've got to keep the actiontec in use even if I buy a new router, does anyone have any experience with best practices when it comes to FIOS. 5. Am I missing any other technology that might help me? Or any tips/tricks any of you can provide? I really appreciate all of the help and advice you all give on this site. It is very helpful!

|A Christmas Mystery Quilt
By: Mary,

The fabric is Twelve Days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda and this was a BOM from The Fat Quarter Shop. Since this was my first BOM, I have nothing to compare, but this was so fun because of excellent fabric and instructions.

|Aged Christmas Pineapple

Virginia, USA
Blog: Institches with Bonnie
I started in 1992 during a class with Dixie Hall. I used older fabrics so I couldn't find go-with colors. Fast forward 5 yrs & I finally found go-withs. Didn't like my idea for borders until I started again in 2010 for a UFO challenge. Thus the title of Aged Christmas Pineapples.

I made this scrappy Christmas quilt for my mom who is spending her first Christmas in an assisted living residence. It was made as a "nap quilt" for afternoon rests – long enough to cover her but narrow so as to keep the weight down for her. I used pinwheels to extend the length as she loves them.

This was leftover fabric from a tree skirt from 58" border print. The center of this was the outer edge of the tree skirt, and no way I could throw away this fabric. From the point of the wedge (the center above) I measured about 15"—it just looked 'right'—and cut.

Blog: Scrapmaster
I made each of the blocks in this sampler during an on-line Quilt-Along called "12 Days of Christmas" Each block was designed by a different quilt designer. I added the red/white/black borders to symbolize Santa's suit. I hope to machine quilt it in time for Christmas .

This wallhanging doubles as a card or photo holder! Now I'll be able to see the cards people send us rather than have them all jumbled on the mantelpiece. This wallhanging uses the one seam flying geese block. Lots of design possibilities!

This little quilt was made using 99% reused cotton and silk linings from women's blazers and jackets, I love to blended new and used cotton, silk, denim, rayon etc for my quilts. I enjoy helping other quilters see the results of reusing and repurposing cloth taken directly from clothing.

Needing a small quilt to hang in my office at work, and really liking the cover quilt of "Tis The Season", by Jeanne Large and Shelley Wicks, I adapted the pattern to a smaller size. I now have a lovely bit of Christmas hanging in my office.

I finally got around to making something with my stash of lovely Christmas fabrics…. I played around with the pattern for Thick'n'thin log cabins until I got the circular pattern I wanted – some needed to be my own design the complete the curve. Finished and on my bed in time for Christmas!

I found this Debbie Kratovil pattern in the early 90's and fell in love with its design and have made a few of them and kept this one for myself because of the 2″ X 2″ log cabin cornerstones and the 1″ X 1″ border cornerstones. I use it every year on a side table with pretty red and white candles

This quilt was the first I'd designed with EQ6. I had purchased the fabric the year before and didn't want to have to buy more. I played around with EQ6 until I found a design the used what I had.

Walking in a winter wonderland is a Meg Hawkey, Crabapple Hill pattern with adorable snow-persons doing fun winter activities. I did take the liberty of adding slim blue frames around each scene, to set them off. Hand embroidered, hand beaded. Love that it is 'seasonally appropriate' all winter.

If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
Here's a collection of the tablets rated highest by CNET editors. Visit our tablet page for all the latest news, and be sure to see our list of the Best Android tablets, highlighting only Android OS devices.
The iPad Mini 2 shrinks down the iPad Air into an even more compact package, sacrificing nearly nothing. It's a terrific smaller tablet.
The new Retina Mini's a little heavier and more expensive, but manages to fit a Retina Display and a much faster processor into its 7.9-inch tablet body. How does it feel? Read our unfolding review.
The iPad Mini 4 makes the most of iOS 9 and has a number of welcome upgrades, but its high price will have some skipping straight up to larger iPad Air models.
One of 2013's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
You'll pay a premium for it, but the ClamCase Pro for iPad Mini is the best and most versatile all-around keyboard case we've seen.
The silicone accessory comes with a case and adds a tactile dimension to the iPad Mini's onscreen keyboard.
Developed by Tactus Technology, the Phorm iPad Mini case costs $149 and offers users a physical keyboard that bubbles up from its protective screen.
Due to ship soon, the company's $79.99 FastFit iPad Mini keyboard case is designed to compete with Logitech's popular Ultrathin keyboard case.
The Belkin iPad Mini Keyboard Case is one of the better keyboard cases currently available for the Mini -- but it does have its shortcomings.

Im a single mother to a 6 yr old lil girl and having another lil girl ( which she is so excited) on the 12th of Jan !! What would be a good Big Sister gift or something so my older daughter doesnt feel jealous or left out , To the Non FTM how do you include your other children in the process
Need lil advice
You could take your DD shopping and have her pick out something special from the baby just from her. Also after delivering (perhaps at the hospital or when you get home) you can give your DD a gift from her little sister. Something small but meaningful. Also since she is older it may make her feel needed/special if you let her know that since it's just the two of you you'll need her help with the baby when she comes. Let her help with bathing and dressing and little things. That way she doesn't feel left out. She'll probably develop some pretty strong big sister protective feelings too (hopefully) instead of jealousy.
Angela mom to: Lucy�11/09 & Lili 1/11
I am still trying to figure this out also. except my son is 11 years older. Wow, and he is still jealous. I saw some really cute stuff online when I was researching. I had it saved on my bookmarks on my old laptop but it crashed:( there was this cute pin and disposable camera I saw where they could wear the pin that said big brother/sister and a camera that said it also so they could run around taking pictures in the waiting room and after LO is born. I thought it was rather cute. I have to find the site again because it had stuff on there I was going to get my parents also. when I find it I will send you the link. they had a lot of neat stuff. GL

I always liked the idea of buying a stuffed animal or something and giving it to the older child, saying it's from the baby. I think something like that helps a lot. Letting her pick out outfits also is nice, to let her know she's involved and her say counts. It'll make her feel like a big girl
Also, keeping your child informed about LO and how important they'll be to LO is good too. (ex. In a few more months you're sister is going to be here! Or, Are you going to help mommy take care of the baby when she comes to live with us? She's really going to love you and look up to you! Or even, You're being such a good girl! Your sister is going to learn a lot from you!)

When we had my second big brother went to build a bear and made her a bear. He also recieved a baby girl doll for him to take care of, while I was tending little sister. He still makes one every year for her for christmas. This year DH and I are going to give them each a gift card to make their own as I wont be able to visit them ( they live with their dad ATM). Then about 2-3 weeks after she gets here we are going to take baby girl down to meet her brother and sister.

My DS was 8 when DD was born. I made sure that he was included..He got to pick out items for the baby registry, I invited him to the ultrasounds (but he wanted to see grandma instead), he got to pick out outfits for her...we tried to really make him feel part or the whole process. He was even present for DD's birth. He did great...he hid behind the curtain but kept peaking around it to see if she was here yet...He was really worried about being left out....he wanted to be the 2nd person to hold her, but he got to be the 3rd. He was so happy to be there..and the nurse was great, everything she did for DH, she did for him too.. he got his own "big brother" hospital bracelet and her little footprints on his forearm, just like Dad. The second she was born, he got to put on his "Big Brother" T-shirt...and he wore it for 3 days straight. I also packed a hospital bag for him, with presents in it for him to open and to help keep him entertained. I did have a "back up" plan incase he got freaked out and didn't want to be at the hopital anymore though.

BABY BOY Born 12/22/2010
At least at 6 they do know what is going on for the most part. I would just have something special for her (even if it is a doll baby of her own) for her to take care of just like you take care of the newborn. She will learn a lot. I am going to take my 7 and 9 year old to a sibling class so they can talk about the baby and get the tour of the nursery and everything at the hospital. I think that will be good for them. Other than that they are just excited to have the real baby. That is a gift enough for them.

I involved our 4 year old in EVERYTHING like picking out the bed set, clothes, name, all of it. and then we also got her a baby alive and gave it to her when we came home from the hospital so she could "take care" of her baby with me. It really worked well

I too involved mine in everything, and it's even easier this time since my older DD is 6 like yours. Our hospital was even great at making her feel important when she was 3 and her little sister was born. They asked her if she'd like to push the baby basinette down the hallway to my new room (my mom had brought her to the hospital after I had the baby). I was quite astonished because I never would have thought they would do something like that, and I certainly wouldn't have asked.

On any given day, we have a million tasks vying for our attention, and we have to choose wisely.Tweet This
I sat in a presentation this week where the speaker was talking about how to create a business plan. The whole talk was filled with business buzz-words and I could tell that the over 50 attendees left the meeting at least as (if not more) confused as they were before they walked in.
They still didn't know what it actually took to move their business or idea forward. It reminded me of a running back who makes 100 moves but gains no yardage.
As an entrepreneur, I don't have time for things that don't move the ball towards the end-zone, as they say.
And yet, I have noticed how often I play the same role as this presenter. I love showing the breadth of my knowledge, but at the end of the day I realize I made a lot of movements, but I wasn't any closer to meeting my monthly bottom line.
When it comes to making sure I'm always moving toward my target, here are a few things I keep in mind:
1. Learning is important, but learn something that moves the ball forward.
Too many entrepreneurs get caught learning for the sake of learning, which might bring personal enrichment to their lives but will not help the accomplish the goals they are trying to accomplish.
I have felt the pressure before. People I respect say that those who are successful read, and read a lot. The problem I keep running into is that reading for the sake of reading doesn't make me a better entrepreneur.
When it comes to your drive to learn things, why not leverage your passion and ability toward something that is going to move you toward your desired end? Make a learning plan and use it to move you toward your goals.
2. Categorize tasks in two categories: those that get me the end zone and those that don't.
On any given day, we have a million tasks vying for our attention, and we have to choose wisely. We have our email pinging us, our phone buzzing and dozens of people wanting to get together for coffee—and that's not even addressing the real work yet.
I've found that if I don't divide tasks into "necessary" and "unnecessary" I find myself working really hard and not making progress.
It isn't that there is no space to respond to that friendly email or get together with someone who wants to "pick your brain". It's just that those tasks should fall into the leftover hours after our real work is done.
3. Do the tasks that get you the "end zone" before the others.
This should seem self-explanatory after the last point, but this is a matter of priorities. If you find yourself slaving away and not making progress, ask yourself, "do I want to make progress as much as I say I do? What am I working towards?"

Kitchen Window Treatments
- Durable products are key in this room
- Go cordless over sinks or counters
- Faux wood blinds resist heat and moisture
- Easy to clean products are smart picks
- Top down/bottom up for flexible privacy
The kitchen is the hardest working room in your home, so you'll need durable window treatments and kitchen blinds that can stand up to potential heat and moisture while still giving you the style and light control you need. If your windows are near a sink or preparation area, you will need kitchen window treatments that are also easy to clean. Shades with cordless lift are a great choice to avoid a cluttered look, add safety, and to keep cords out of the disposal. Faux wood blinds are another good choice because they will not warp or peel from the heat and moisture. Fabric shades can provide vivid color and pattern choices to match your style.

"Extremely Happy"
By from Wisconsin
I looked all over the internet for a decent price for a large roller shade, but I wasn't going to compromise on style and I got both with Blindsgalore. Not only were the blinds an excellent price, they were also very solidly built and very stylish. I also was super pleased with how fast they shipped out considering they were a custom order. I honestly couldn't be any happier.View this product
"Finally Found The Perfect Blind!"
By from Ayden, NC
We had searched and searched for the perfect blind for the door in our kitchen. The blind was perfect! The design options were so modern and the price of the blind was half of what we found at other places. Installation was very easy as well. We are extremely pleased with our purchase!View this product

Sirloin Strips over Rice Recipe
4.5 8
"I found this recipe in a movie magazine some 20 years ago," recalls Karen Dunn of Kansas City, Missouri. "It was the favorite of some male star, but I don't remember whom. Its great flavor and the fact that leftovers just get better have made it a family favorite!"
- 1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1/3 cup dry red wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 cups hot cooked rice
- Sprinkle beef strips with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown beef in 1 teaspoon oil. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, saute onions in remaining oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, wine, bay leaf, basil and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Return beef to the pan; cook for 2-4 minutes or until tender. Discard bay leaf. Serve with rice.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled beef mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary. Yield: 6 servings.
