The short narrow window had been patiently waiting, creaking back and forth gently in the breeze for 2 years. Summer had just passed and the nights grew longer and a brisk chill was in the air. Alone and shivering I wedged myself up into the window frame, peering into what appeared to be a cramped toilet abandonné. My fingers drew deep trenches through the dust and climbing down onto the cistern, then the porcelain itself, it was clear none had passed through in quite some time. By the shafts of streetlight on the old cracked lino could see no footprints but my own. If any were coming in and out they were using the doors, with keys, since I knew they were all locked. The house was quiet and still, nothing was stirring, moving, breathing.
I moved slowly and breathed silently, expecting to encounter an angry hobo at every turn. While my eyes adjusted to the gloom I ran my fingers along the walls, feeling the old textured wallpaper peeling and crumbling away into dust. I stepped over the dried crunchy leaves which had blown in through the window and progressed into a space between a large empty room to the left, the front door and staircase to the right. Old lino tiles, dried and turning up at the edges, crinkled softly beneath my feet and old posters sagged from the walls. It was bare and dusty, entirely deserted. Trees swaying in the wind outside cast shifting shadows through the mottled glass illuminating the old wooden stairs in a golden yellow hue. If anyone was living here, they'd surely be upstairs. With long slow deliberate steps I crept up.
In a large room at the top of the stairs light streamed in via three floor to ceiling windows facing out over a small park. The room was empty yet held a faint whiff of dampness. One corner of the ceiling was slightly discoloured and water damaged. To the right I found a small bathroom with paint flaking from the walls and ceiling. With a cough and splutter dirty thick brown water oozed from the tap. I hit the lights and to my surprise the room lit up revealing a bathtub, basin and toilet. I snapped the light switch down quickly. This quaint little house was offering up many surprises - water, power and even a bath. A rare luxury in a city known for shoebox apartments.
In the adjacent room old curtains lay strewn across the carpet and a single chair sat facing out one of the two huge windows into the dead parisian streets. I lay for a while on the floor in the middle of the room, listening to the occasional snippet of conversation passing by or the occasional car. This little gem of a house lay empty and waiting, offering power, water, shelter and convenience at the modest expense of security, mold and luxury. It deserved better than neglect. I moved in shortly after.
Qx and I picked the front door lock from the inside, with a bit of help switching the barrel at 3am for a high security model. With the new lock in and the downstairs window securely bolted we slept the first frigid night in my new place, TF and I curled up on the floor with nothing but body heat and an old hoodie to keep us warm. By 4am, huddled together shivering it clear the priorities were heaters then a bed. Those first nights were uncomfortable yet held an unease excitement as I dozed restlessly awaiting the sounds of someone booting in the door. One solid kick. Perhaps qx knew what I was thinking for one day he returned from china town bearing a most practical gift: nunchucks.
Quickly Le Squat evolved from sparse and dirty to hobo-deluxe. Late at night I'd wander the deserted streets purloining whatever furniture I could from the haphazard piles of streetside collection, hauling it back and hustling it through the front door while the neighbourhood slept. With time we amassed a double bed, sofabed, click-clack, plush arm chair, lamps, small desk, large desk, stove, fridge, microwave, small oven, bookshelf, clothes racks, large rug, a couple of mounted canvas metro prints and three electric heaters. With furniture, electricity, free wifi and (cold) running water the quaint little house very quickly became a home. I had paid to live in places worse. Qx discovered the house was owned by the city, presumably their motivation to clean it up and either sell or rent it was non-existent. Suited me fine, I hoped nobody would turn up with a delivery truck and wonder why the locks had changed.
Like any abode of questionable legitimacy le Squat had some quirks. The broken hot water system was sorely missed and despite there being a couple of decent open networks nearby internet was often flaky. Coming and going was a nervous affair, with standard operating procedure being to check for suspicious characters front, back and sides, pause a moment to listen at the door then stroll on out like we owned the place. The large local hobo population, while too lazy to have attempted the window would likely roll in the front door given the chance. Sympathy for them was scarce as for two years they'd been living within sight of the open window which would have led them to shelter and relative warmth.
Predator's early accounts of squatting in Australia planted this desire to squat, then staying in Bob and Green's trainyard squat in 2002 drowned it in fertiliser. It was a life experience happily realised. That little bit of uncertainty in everyday life that I might return home to find my things cast into the street, pawed over and looted by the neighbourhood, or appropriated by other squatters in some act of cosmic justice, was unappealing but exciting. Trusting my lodgings and my possessions to the chaotic whims of the universe was scary at first but over the past 3 years I've realised I need little more than a laptop and a camera (or three) so the chance once taken lacked the intimidation I had expected. Greater was my concern for TF, who often slept there alone while our dirty little posse of vagabonds ventured into the metro tunnels below paris dodging trains and seeking adventure.
Those disapproving of my lifestyle choices will take smug satisfaction that one morning the city workers arrived, locksmith in tow, to evict me. I might not have lived there long but it truly was a home. Toothfairy's also, by the end she was staying there as much as I. I could have demanded a court order and made a stand, fought the man, kept le squat another month or so but in the end I knew I'd be booted and the city would take back what was rightfully theirs. Our run had saved me ~AUD7000 in rent and I saw no value in tainting the memories with a siege for a place to which I had no legal right. With our brand new 350eu dollar drill we'd secured the place to better than when we arrived, the delicious irony there should be evident. As I watched the city locksmith remove our cylinder and insert his own I felt more than just a twinge of sadness.
Ten minutes later shouldering as many of my worldly possessions as possible, sacrificing the rest to the squatter gods, I marched out the front door of the little house I held so dear to return to the BHV Institute of Professional Cataphilia. As I walked past the hobos one looked up from the depths of his wine bottle, stared me in the eyes and shrugged his shoulders once as if to say "bad luck kid". He was mistaken for I would've done worse had I lacked the courage to climb through that little window, take a chance and move in. That day was merely the closure of a great life experience and a period of time I'll always remember fondly. The Squat was taken but the memories will always live on for those who stayed there. One day, if I ever have the money I'll return to Paris, buy that little house and then truly it will be ours.

What a life you lead.. Quite a decent pad, eh?
The heater was an antique - to fix it would have required a visit from Le Man, which would have been interesting when he wanted to know where to send Le Bill.
Also, updates arrive precisely when they do and no amount of badgering will hasten the process.
@moe, the french are great for that. It makes perfect sense to them and therefore all is right with the world.
@le loup, fear not there's always more noodles and more roque.
@air, shhh you ruin my reputation.
@rooks, she-ra rode the ship through to the very end. A noble way for one of her prowess.
@joeblow, there were few close calls, merely the occasional curious passerby who tried the door handle but never lingered. The cops drove past often but I doubted short of flaming skulls bursting from the windows they'd never have stopped.
@stray, and I've have to loved to show it to him.
@J-Bags, as qx said it was possible but the effort to benefit ratio wasn't there. Besides the gf had a hot shower.
just came across your site (Jono here, from UER) and was fascinated by this tale...
I like how you operate.

You will also be able to synthesize higher-quality items, but at a greater cost, and you can decorate Rorona's studio. More (interesting) costumes will be available... and so will more party members. Esty Dee, the adventurer's guild receptionist, and Astrid, Rorona's teacher, will both be playable. Both are 26 years old in the game, but Astrid's powers are a bit of a mystery at the moment.
New Atelier Rorona is due for a November 21st release in Japan. Be sure to check out all the new - and related - screens and artwork in our gallery below!

Footsteps echoed throughout the forest as a pink haired man sprinted down a path. White scarf and black outfit he seemed intent on chasing someone down as water fell from the gray melancholic sky above obscuring vision to only a few feet in front of him. He didn't let the harsh weather get in his way though; he had to chase this pain in the ass down. He skidded to a stop and tore around a tree trunk only to find that the person he had been pursuing had vanished. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him before swearing and leaped through the bushes at the end of the path only to land directly in front of speeding vehicle which plowed into him and sent him flying through the sky and onto the sidewalk several dozen feet away. People screamed and ran to his side to see if he was okay. His golden eyes shot open as the sun blared down on him from above, wasn't it just raining a few seconds ago? That question could wait though he had to find that idiot. He leapt to his feet and sprinted down the street not even paying any mind to the fact that he had just been hit by a car and wasn't anywhere he recognized.
As he was running he didn't notice that he had entered a warped space but perhaps entered wasn't quite the right word. He had slammed head on into a witches barrier and didn't even slow down. In fact he was so determined on catching whoever it was that he was chasing that he didn't notice that he wasn't alone in the barrier. He didn't notice her until it was too late and ended up tackling the blond to the ground. It was then that he stopped to take a moment to notice his surroundings. He blinked and turned to face what seemed like a giant caterpillar lunging directly at him. It chomped down on his head.
He gripped its face with both his hands as irritation welled up inside him.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THE BIG IDEA!?" He took it and threw it far into the air as he cracked his neck. "That hurt! Warn me next time!"
Taking a fighting stance he glared up at it as flame exploded around his entire being. He was about to attack when a voice caught his attention.
"What are you doing!? Do you want to get yourself killed!? Lighting yourself on fire like that!" It was the blond girl from before. "Look, I don't know how you got in here, but this place is dangerous! You're lucky it let go of you when it did and it only did so because it's not interested in you!" Her voice was shaking and she had anger in her eyes.
"Eh? I don't know what you're talking about lady. I was just minding my own business chasing someone and then that thing attacked me. It started the whole thing! So I'm going to finish it!" He stomped his foot in frustration. "What do you mean dangerous!? I've got this perfectly under control!" Fire streamed out of his mouth. "So do me a favor, why don't you get out of here!? I'll handle it!"
Was this for real? Was this idiot arguing with her in this situation? "YOU!" She growled at him. "I will drag you out of here myself if you continue to be such a daft little idiot! This is a witch barrier, I'm a magical girl, My name is Mami Tomoe and right now you're in danger!" She pointed to the pink and blue haired girl's watching in confusion. "You go with them, that's the safe part of the barrier. I'll deal with you later!"
He replied by sticking his tongue out at her and turning away. "Sorry, can't do that. Oh and my name is Natsu Dragneel and I also use magic. I'm a mage of Fairy Tail and I never run from a fight!" He was about to continue yelling when Charlotte came from the sky and attacked him only to be punched in the face by a flaming fist and sent flying away. "I WAS TALKING!" He yelled at it before walking slowly toward the being. "I've had enough with you." He said calmly as the fire around him only got more intense.
For a moment, Mami gasped because she could swear for a moment that a dragon loomed over the boy who called himself Natsu. That couldn't be possible, could it? Dragon's weren't real after all; it must have been a trick of the light.
"I don't care what you are; I don't care what you want. But I'm in a bad mood right now and you seem awfully eager to pick a fight with me. I'll gladly give you what you want then." He inhaled sharply as his magical power increased. "Fire Dragon's….ROAR!" He bellowed as a torrent of fire burst forth from his mouth and engulfed Charlotte. The blast was so powerful that it knocked the being into the edge of the witch's barrier which began to crack and eventually shatter. The whole scene vanished and left the four figures standing in a back alley. Natsu flicked his gaze to Mami, shifting his body and bringing his full attention to her once more. "Want me to run now?"
A black haired girl sat on the rooftop of a nearby building, unsure of what she had just witnessed. This had never happened before despite all the time's she had been through this month. Not once not a single time had this youth appeared and saved the day like this. She couldn't process this at all. "What in the world…" She muttered to herself as she blinked and tried to comprehend what the hell was going on.
"That is what I'd like to know as well, Akemi Homura." Red beady eyes could be seen in the shadows behind her. "This is not part of the plan, this is unexpected. This boy uses magic we incubators have never seen before. It is quite unnerving; we'll have to change our approach."
She managed a sly grin in return. "Feeling a bit wet behind the ears are you? Maybe the heavens have finally sent an angel to save the world." She chuckled. "Although I do feel like I can count on him. Though I won't be sure of that until I speak to him in person, after all I can't judge from all the way over here."
Elsewhere a young man with black spiky hair stood on a bridge with his hands in his pockets. He didn't wear a shirt which was odd in the chilly autumn weather but he didn't seem to mind it. He stared blankly at the water that rushed under the bridge and then sighed. "Where the hell am I?" Last he remembered Natsu was chasing him for eating the last piece of meat and then he was here. This shit was getting weird and he didn't like it one bit.
"Hey you." A voice split the silence. "The hell're you doing around here? I know this part of town and no one comes ere'. This is my turf."
He turned around to see a red haired girl glaring at him. Why was it always the redheads that were so feisty? He shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, I got a bit lost. Didn't mean to trespass or whatever. Name's Gray, can I ask ya something? Where the hell am I?"
The girl looked at him like he was insane. "Did ya hit yer head or something? How lost did you get? This is Mitakihara town. Wait…that look on your face, don't tell me…"
"Never heard of the place." He replied bluntly.
She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. How could someone so dense exist? She would consider stealing food off him, but the guy didn't look like he had anything on him if he couldn't afford a damn shirt. "You can call me Kyoko, Gray. I really don't know what to tell ya. Maybe ya got amnesia?"
"I doubt that, I remember everything save for how I got here. I come from Magnolia Town in Fiore." He said like it was the most normal thing to say in a conversation ever.
Kyoko bit her lip, it was just her luck to meet a totally fucking insane dungeon and dragon's player. "Look Gray, I've never heard of that place, but I uh think you need some help. You're kinda creepin' me out." In all her years, this was the weirdest moment she had ever experienced. Of course it was during this that of all things her soul gem had to go off. There was a witch nearby. Actually, it was right on top of them.
"Shit! You gotta get out of here now! This place is gonna get fucking dangerous!" She yelled at him but realized that she was too late. The barrier had closed around them. "Fuck! Okay listen, this may sound weird, but right now we're in a witches barrier, she hunts people and eats them or whatever. I'm a magical girl and I defeat witches. Are you following me?"
Gray was staring up at the barrier, totally spaced out. "Yeah, witch, magic. So the normal stuff, right. Got it."
"Yes! The normal stuff…" She stopped as she realized what he had just said. "Gray…just who are you?"
He walked toward the witch that had emerged, ugly looking thing. "Gray Fullbuster, Wizard of the magicians guild known as Fairy Tail and right now, I'd say that thing is looking at me funny." He took a battle stance. "Kyoko right? We can talk more after we take care of ugly; you said you fight these things right? Well let's get to fighting!" The temperature dropped as he formed a sword of ice in his right hand. "Ice Make: Blade!"
Kyoko shook herself out of her surprise. "Fine! Don't blame me if ya die!" She transformed into her magical girl form and twirled her spear over her head. "Let's dance you piece of shit!"
"So you're a mage who uses fire magic?" Mami asked Natsu as she made herself comfortable. They had withdrawn back to her apartment for the time being after escorting her two friends' home. "I've never seen anything like that, but I guess I owe you an apology. You're really strong, Natsu-san."
He chuckled as he bit into an apple she had given him. "Don't mention it; you were probably surprised when I showed up anyways. To be honest, I don't even remember how I ended up there. I remember chasing Gray and then whamo, I'm fighting that thing. From what you've said, I can probably assume this isn't Earthland."
"You're taking this pretty well you know." She took a sip of tea. "Most would freak out upon realizing they were in some kind of different world."
"Haha, well, I've been to other worlds before. Well once, but I have seen far weirder things out there. I'll just have to find the right spell to zap me back." He stretched his arms and laid his head on the edge of the sofa. "You know, back there when we were arguing. You didn't seem all that angry at me, in fact you seemed scared…but not for me. I can tell you know, you're really sad and scared. That fake smile won't fool me."
She blinked in surprise at that. This boy who she barely knew had said words that were like a punch to the gut. Did he know about her past? That was impossible, he had just gotten here. "That's a good joke, Natsu-san. I assure you, I'm fine."
"Do you know what the true sin to a fairy tail mage is? It's the sin of averting one's eyes and no longer being able to believe in anything." He said quietly. "I may not know much about this world and I may not know much about you, but I know when someone needs help and I'll gladly help you if you need it. Just believe in me, that's all I'll ask." His stomach growled. "But first could we get a real meal?" He asked with a grin.
Her face slammed into the coffee table in front of her and she looked up at him. This was going to be one hell of a trip wasn't it? "Sure…I know a good place."

Pati's Mexican Table
8 cups water
6 tablespoons coarsely ground dark-roasted coffee beans
8 tablespoons grated or finely chopped piloncillo or dark brown sugar, or to taste
1 ceylon or true cinnamon stick
To Prepare
Bring the water to a rolling boil in a pot. Reduce the heat to low and add the coffee, piloncillo and cinnamon stick. Simmer partially covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and serve. Alternatively, remove the cinnamon stick and pour the drink into a French press; press down on the plunger and serve.
It's Pot Luck Party day at Pati's house! Today, she's having some friends over and this time everyone's contributing to the meal — no one shows up empty handed. Pati also welcomes home design expert, who is bringing along one of her favorite Cuban recipes.
Salsa Borracha de Pasilla, Ciruela y Naranja
6 to 8 pasilla chiles (about 2 ounces), stemmed and seeded
2 garlic cloves with husks on
1 cup boiling water
1 cup beer
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 cups pitted prunes
1 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
To Prepare
Set a skillet or comal over medium heat and, once hot, toast the chiles for about 1 minute per side, being careful not to burn them. Remove from heat.
Roast, or char, the garlic cloves for about 6 to 8 minutes either on the same skillet or comal, or under a broiler for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside and peel away the husks once the cloves have cooled.
Place the toasted chiles in a medium saucepan and cover with the boiling water, beer and orange juice. Add the prunes to the pan and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Put the chiles, prunes and cooking liquid into a blender, along with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth and serve.
Papas Rellenas con Salsa de Aguacate
Recipe courtesy Sabrina Soto
For the Cuban picadillo:
2 cups diced white onion
1 small jar of pimento chiles
2 cups seeded and finely chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, for sauteing
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds ground beef
3 large Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped green olives
1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
For the papas rellenas:
4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon warm milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
2 eggs beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the avocado sauce:
2 ripe Mexican avocados
Freshly squeezed juice from 4 limes (just over 1/2 cup lime juice)
1 medium bunch of cilantro, leaves and upper stems, roughly chopped
2 jalapeño chiles, seeded
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher or coarse sea salt, to taste
To Prepare
To make the Cuban picadillo: Heat olive oil in in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pimento chiles and green pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add the garlic and ground beef to the pan, stirring to break up the meat and combine it with the onion and peppers, and cook until the meat has browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin and oregano to the pan, stir to combine and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes to thicken. Stir in the olives and simmer 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To make the papas rellenas: Place the quartered potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft, then drain. Mash the potatoes with the salt and warm milk, and let cool enough to handle.
Grab a handful of the mashed potato mixture and form into a little "bowl" in your hand. Fill the "bowl" with some of the Cuban picadillo and cover with more of the mashed potato mixture - forming a ball about the size of a small baseball. Repeat until all the mashed potato mixture is used up.
Combine the bread crumbs and flour on a plate. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
Dip a ball into the beaten egg and roll to coat, then roll in the flour and bread crumb mixture until lightly covered. Dip the same ball, again, into the egg and roll a second time in the flour and bread crumb mixture to coat thoroughly. Repeat with each ball.
Refrigerate the balls for about 3 hours.
Add enough vegetable oil to a heavy skillet to come about halfway up the potato balls and heat over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully place as many balls into the oil as possible without crowding the pan, working in batches if need be. Fry the balls for about 2 minutes or until the submerged half is golden brown, turn the balls and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove the balls from the pan and set them on a paper-towel-covered plate or wire rack. Serve hot with avocado sauce on the side.
To make the avocado sauce: Place the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño chiles, garlic cloves, olive oil and cumin and puree until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
Bocados de Barbacoa
For the marinade:
10 guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
10 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
5 cups water
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 medium Roma tomato, quartered
1/2 medium white onion, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 medium garlic cloves
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 whole cloves, stems removed
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher or coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons safflower or vegetable oil
For the meat:
4 pounds beef round roast or brisket, cut into 4-inch chunks
1 pound banana leaves, or aluminum foil
12 ounces (1 bottle) light beer
To assemble:
24 small slider buns (brioche or challah buns are specially good with this!)
Drunken pasilla, prune and orange salsa (optional)
Pickled jalapeños (optional)
To Prepare
For the marinade: Heat a large skillet or comal over medium heat. Add the dried guajillo and ancho chiles and toast them for no more than 20 seconds per side, taking care not to burn them. Transfer the toasted chiles to a medium saucepan and add the water, place over medium heat and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the chiles have softened and rehydrated.
Transfer the chiles to a blender, and add 2 cups of their cooking liquid (discard the remaining liquid), the vinegar, tomato, onion, garlic, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, black pepper, cloves and salt. Puree until smooth.
Wipe out the medium saucepan and add the oil. Place over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the pureed chile mixture, being careful to avoid any splatters. Partially cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the color darkens and the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency.
For the meat: Place the beef in a large bowl and cover it with the marinade. If you will not cook it that day, cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Wrap the individual meat chunks in pieces of banana leaf or aluminum foil as you would wrap burritos or tamales - making sure to add a generous amount of marinade in each packet.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the meat packets inside a large, heavy ovenproof French oven or casserole, pour in the beer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Roast for about 3 hours, until the meat is succulent and comes apart when pulled with a fork. Transfer to the stovetop (off of the heat), and let everything rest for 10 to 15 minutes before opening the meat packets.
Serve on slider buns with drunken salsa and/or pickled jalapeños.
Ensalada de Cangrejo, Pepino y Jícama
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Zest of 2 limes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher or coarse sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 small jícama, peeled and julienned
1 large English cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 pint jumbo lump crab meat, picked through thoroughly for cartilage and shells
Romain lettuce, to accompany (optional)
Tostadas, homemade or store-bought, or crackers, to accompany (optional)
To Prepare
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice and zest, cayenne pepper, rice wine vinegar and honey. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the jícama, cucumber, scallions, peanuts and cilantro and toss well to combine. Then, add the crab and gently toss, taking care not to break up the crab meat. Serve over lettuce or in individual cups accompanied by tostadas or crackers.
For a basic michelada:
1 beer mug, chilled
Kosher or coarse sea salt, for coating the rim of the glass
1 lime wedge
Ice cubes (optional)
2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 beer, preferably Mexican, chilled
Additional ingredients for a michelada especial:
Dash of hot sauce like Tabasco, Cholula or Valentina (optional)
Dash of a salty sauce like soy sauce, Worcestershire or Maggi Sauce (optional)
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Pinch of kosher or coarse sea salt (optional)
To Prepare
Pour a layer of salt onto a small plate. Rub the rim of a chilled beer mug with the lime wedge and dip the rim gently into the salt to coat. Place the ice cubes, if using, into the mug. If making a basic michelada, add the lime juice on top of the ice, then pour in the beer.
If making a michelada especial, salt the rim of a chilled beer mug as directed above, then place the optional ingredients, to taste, into the mug. Stir the mixture lightly then pour in the beer.
Cocktail de Mezcal con Sriracha
1 1/2 cup mezcal joven (young mezcal)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more for coating the glass rims
1 liter lime- or lemon-flavored sparkling soda
1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
Kosher or coarse sea salt, for coating the glass rims
To Prepare
Mix the mezcal, lime juice, soda and Sriracha sauce in a large pitcher. Stir well and add a few ice cubes.
Pour a layer of salt onto a small plate. Onto another small plate, squeeze enough lime juice to wet the top rims of the serving glasses. And, one by one, gently dip the top rims of the glasses first into the lime juice, then into the salt to coat. Add a few ice cubes to each glass and pour the cocktail.
Latin-Asian fusion is hot right now, but Asian immigrants have been influencing traditional Mexican cuisine for centuries. Pati goes food shopping with her good friend chef Janet Yu and gets inspired to create a menu full of Asian-inspired Mexican meals.
Empanadas de Ciruela y Nuez
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher or coarse sea salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 stick), diced
1 egg
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 pound plums, pitted and diced (about 11/2 cups)
1/4 pound apricots, pitted and diced (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup dark brown sugar or shredded piloncillo
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/8 teaspoon five spice powder
1 egg beaten, for brushing
Granulated sugar for dusting, or you may use turbinado or dark brown sugar
La Lechera dulce de leche or cajeta, to drizzle on top or on the side for dipping (optional)
To Prepare
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and sour cream.
With your fingers, combine the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles a coarse meal (it should be crumbly). Rinse your hands and pour the beaten egg and sour cream into the large bowl with the crumbly butter mixture. Mix with a spatula until it comes together into smooth malleable dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
In a large bowl, combine the plums, apricots, pecans, brown sugar, cornstarch, lime juice and five spice powder and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Generously flour your kitchen counter and rolling pin. Roll out the dough about a to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into rounds about 4-inches in diameter. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with any leftover dough scraps until you have used up all your dough. Place a heaping tablespoon of the plum filling in the middle of each circle to make chubby empanadas, brush around the edges with the beaten egg and fold to make a half moon, gently pressing with your fingers to close the edges. Finally, use the back of a fork to seal the dough without breaking it.
Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange the empanadas on them, as you may need to bake 2 batches or use 2 baking sheets. Brush the tops of the empanadas with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the empanadas for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Serve warm or cooled and, if desired, drizzle with dulce de leche or cajeta.

Good Info
posted 6 years ago
I've read a few of the For Dummies, so know that they are more informative than they may sound. This book gave good basic information about the various stages of a cat's life, diseases and illnesses that may be encountered, and how to care for them physically and emotionally. Good basic information
Pros: info

Good information

This book gives the basics of cat care through the years, discusses illnesses and disease, and specialized topics such as raising kittens. If you want to pursue a topic further, there are more detailed books on the market. But this at least gets you started and is fine for most needs

Cooper excited about season
Last season, Darian Cooper came to fall camp a few days late. That didn't stop him from heading out to Iowa's open practice in shorts and putting on an impressive performance. This fall, he will get his chance to make an impact in a real game at defensive tackle. Cooper talks about what he learned from guys like Mike Daniels, his freshman year, and his role this fall.


text: Stick Skills: "Sometimes I don't know why I volunteer to play games like Outlast. I've always had a penchant for horror, and when done right, it's not something you enjoy, it's something you endure. Outlast is definitely not a game I would classify as fun, at least by a more traditional definition; it's full of armed nut jobs, mutilated innocents, and oh so many long dark corridors. And if you can get over a few tedious fetch-quests, Outlast is a frightening ride worth taking." 7/10

The Flintstonerama Girls by Gulliver63Watch
©2011-2016 Gulliver63
This is my second serious foray into the world of Coreldraw wireframe. This was done in three composites - first the backround, then the shadows, then the figures themselves, which were colored in Corel. My first attempt was this [link] . My breakthrough today that made everything happen was to discover the "High Detail" feature on the wireframe. It was all colored in the computer, so no markers were harmed in this picture. I love mixing these two worlds...Matt has crossed this line in the Simpsons a couple of times; hell, the Simpsons and Futurama practically are this generation's Flintstones. Compare with my first Flintstone piece, [link] .
this one looks very good, i like the more cartoon style. leela's face truly reminds me of the flinstones style.
Yabadaba DOO!!!
i love this. great job.
i love this. great job.
The reason I haven't thrown in old Bender is that he'd pretty much have to be the wooden version from the show...
Nice idea.
Reminds me of that awesome episode where the cast was acting like cavemen ^_^
Oh, yeah..."Mother's Day", where they went without technology for a few days and their clothing was already ripped up like cavemen. That episode contains a bit that my wife laughed out loud at - Leela's wrist computer says, "Oooo, don't you ever wash your wrist?" and jumps off and rolls away.

This week is Roadcheck, the largest enforcement program on commercial vehicles in the world.
On average, 14 trucks or buses are inspected every minute from Canada to Mexico over a three-day period. For Jennifer Stolberg, a Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer with the Michigan State Police, it's a typical day patrolling, with one exception.
"Itâ??s a 72-hour safety initiative focusing on the safety of the vehicles and driver safety," said Officer Stolberg.
State police have three levels of checks when it comes to stopping a commercial vehicle. Level three just checks the driverâ??s paperwork, level two checks the drivers paperwork along with tires and lights, and level one is the highest checking all of the above plus vehicle maintenance. During the initiative, all stops made will be level one.
Stolberg usually stops six commercial vehicles a shift, but the lengthy inspections cuts the number down to four.
"Focusing on the maintenance and equipment of the vehicles; drivers aren't fatigued and not over hours," the officer said.
Educating drivers about safety is also on the to-do list.
"There are a lot of carriers that don't know they need a medical card, don't know if they need a USDOT number, aren't aware of the weight law either or the size law," Stolberg explained.
But, at the end of the day, she believes the lessons are priceless.
"All of this plays into making sure that the roadways are safe for the drivers and the rest of the motoring public," she says.

Rhubarb Cheesecake Layer Dessert Recipe
4.5 5
Carol Forcum of Marion, Illinois relates, "Rhubarb gives a burst of tangy flavor to this dessert. Sometimes I combine strawberries and rhubarb."
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 4 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional chopped pecans, optional
- In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in pecans. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
- Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Combine rhubarb, sugar and flour; spoon over the crust. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, beat on low speed just until combined.
- Pour over hot rhubarb layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla; spread over hot cheesecake. Sprinkle with additional pecans if desired. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 14-16 servings.
Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

America is 238 years old this year.
But from the youthful squeals of glee that fill Boston ahead of July 4, you wouldn't know it.
"People in Boston are very proud of their city," a young marine biologist tells, as she wildly waves an American flag.
Certainly, there is a sense of togetherness here building up to the most patriotic day in the American calendar.
July 4, or Independence Day, is America's annual celebration of the Declaration of Independence, which marked the end of British reign. Over by the Old State House, crowds stop for photographs by the balcony where the act was first read out to the state of Massachusetts.
I join a big crowd heading in the direction of the Charles River Esplanade, where the 40th Boston Pops firework display will be held.
Gangs of teenage girls fashion US flags into shawls, to cover their shoulders from the blistering heat, while grown men tip their felt Uncle Sam-style hats at people passing by.
In pubs such as The Seven Ale House on Charles Street, locals discuss their plans for the four-day weekend and raise glasses of malty Samuel Adams beer.
After my fun in Boston, I head to the island of Nantucket, a mere three hours away from the city, for some relaxation.

Long overlooked in favour of better-known beach destinations Martha's Vineyard and John F Kennedy's old bayside bolthole Hyannis Point, Nantucket has recently become more accessible thanks to the CapeFLYER train service which launched last year.
The double decker train, which runs from May-September, leisurely rolls through Massachusetts and past the Cape Cod Canal. Costing just $35 for a return, it's also very reasonably priced.
After reaching Hyannis, we take a one-hour boat trip to Nantucket. Even though the 14-mile island, which historically made its money from whaling, swells from a population of 10,000 to 70,000 people during the summer, there is still enough room here to find solitude.
Families splash around in the children's beach, while hungry crowds gather outside The Juice Bar for cones of ice-cream. Yet the Brant Point Lighthouse, a short stroll from my hotel The White Elephant, is a peaceful spot to admire the views.
With few cars on the roads, Nantucket can easily be explored by bike. A number of famous celebs and politicians are fans of Nantucket, including US Secretary of State John Kerry, and Bill and Hillary Clinton, meaning a stay can be fairly pricey. But with plentiful beaches, gorgeous architecture and energetic bike rides, it makes for a pleasant weekend getaway.

I loved that it's kind of at the end of the main drag, so when you get down to the beach there's not a million people and cars everywhere. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite (2 queen beds in one, 1 king bed in the other, pull out couch in the living room) which was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. They've got DVDs to rent for the night time, an indoor pool/hot tub, and even a little game room with some video games and a pool table. I found a better deal online than by calling directly...so we paid less for this incredibly comfortable stay than we would have for smaller quarters/less amenities than anywhere else I've ever stayed at Ocean Shores. The restaurant on site was phenomenal, as well.

Emotional/behavioral disturbance and speech/language disorders: Prevalence of the dual diagnoses in a school-age population
Date: May 2000
Creator: Silver, Kathi Olinsky
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of the comorbidity of emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) and speech/language disorders among those students identified as under The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act criteria as emotionally disturbed and speech impaired. The literature reviewed included clinical and school settings that examined a cooccurrence of language disorders in the EBD population. Other research reported a lack of routine involvement of speech/language therapists in the assessment of the EBD population. Implications from clinical studies suggested a need for greater attention to language disorders in a multi- and interdisciplinary assessment. This study investigated the prevalence of the dual occurrence of EBD and speech/language disorders in Grades 2 through 6 in Texas schools in light of the known research. Relationships in ethnicity and socioeconomic status were examined using chi-square test of independence. Aggregate data were obtained from the database of the Texas Pupil Information Management System and from survey questionnaire responses provided by speech therapists in selected districts. The literature review focused on the impact of language in the development of appropriate personal interactions and communication skills, especially those relevant to pragmatic language factors and the implications of language competency in successful personal living and career ...

An examination of factors related to the cognitive and affective empathy levels of adjudicated youth
Date: August 2000
Creator: Broom, Ellen Wildemann
Description: With the advent of increased juvenile delinquency in our nation, the need for prevention and rehabilitation is paramount. Juvenile delinquent acts are becoming more serious and violent with offenders perpetrating at younger ages. Analysis suggests an increase in juvenile crime in the near future (Stone, 2000). Pinpointing the cause of delinquency is an arduous task because of the many contributing factors (e.g., impulsivity, aggression, low intellect, poor family attachment, drug, and alcohol abuse). By changing the emotional deficits found in beginning delinquency, the likelihood of developing delinquent behavior may be impeded. Research indicates that adolescents who commit crimes are lacking in empathy (e.g., Aleksic, 1975; Cohen & Strayer, 1996; Ellis, 1982; Gibbs, 1987; Marcus & Gray, 1998), thus, promoting empathy may be an avenue for prevention and rehabilitation. This study examined the levels of empathy of adjudicated youth in four juvenile correctional facilities in Texas. Using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), empathy levels of 170 youth were examined. Youth in the study demonstrated low levels of empathy. The study found that empathy levels of adjudicated youth were differentiated by incarcerating facility, IQ, type of offense, disability status, and phase level of a re-socialization training program. Age was not found to ...

Effect of Individualized Curricular Accommodations, Incorporating Student Interest and the Impact on the Motivation and Occurrence/ Nonoccurrence of Disruptive Behavior Displayed By Students with Emotional/behavioral Disorders.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Teaff, Teresa L.
Description: As a result of the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997, schools must now consider positive behavioral interventions and strategies to address problem behavior of students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (E/BD). Given the poor behavioral, academic, and social outcomes for these students, there is a compelling need to identify effective, proactive interventions. Current literature has well established the ineffectiveness of traditional, punitive, and consequence-laden strategies to deal with behaviors. Research has shown the manipulation of antecedent stimuli, in the form of curricular adaptations, can provide a positive, proactive means of managing behavior. Specifically, curriculum modifications, based on student interest, are proposed as a positive, proactive strategy used to manipulate antecedent stimuli to improve the behavior of students with E/BD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the manipulation of antecedent stimuli through the implementation of individualized, curricular adaptations, based on student interest, to reduce the problem behavior of students exhibiting disruptive behaviors. A second purpose was to explore the effect of those adaptations on the behavior motivation of students with E/BD. In this study, curriculum modifications based on student interest were used to reduce disruptive behavior, increase desirable behavior, and effect change in the motivation for ...

An Analysis of the Characteristics of Female Juvenile Offenders as Predictors of Resocialization or Recidivism.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Aiello, Jan Elizabeth
Description: Because there has been a paucity of research on the educational needs of females with academic, behavioral, and emotional problems involved with the juvenile justice system, this study has been an attempt to classify and compare specific characteristics of this population. In particular, it examined their demographics, disability prevalence rates, along with academic, behavioral, and emotional functioning levels, in order to further understand their relationship to the resocialization or recidivism of the different groups of female juveniles incarcerated in the state of Texas, and contribute to the research for further developing successful prevention and intervention programs. Various demographic factors of the female juveniles in this study were examined: (a) offender type, (b) county of commitment, (c) race/ethnicity, (d) age at first referral, and (e) English language proficiency. Prevalence rates of special education disabilities were determined. Academic functioning was measured by (a) IQ; (b) last school grade completed; (c) Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) reading gain score; and (d) TABE math gain score. Behavioral functioning was indicated through (a) offense history, (b) documented behavior incidents, and (c) total risk score. Emotional functioning included DSM-IV diagnoses and treatment needs. Due to the design of the research being a descriptive exploration, the ...

Perceptions of importance of diagnostic competencies among educational diagnosticians.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Cavin, Lisa Lyle
Description: This research was two-fold in its purpose: the first purpose being to assess the perceived relevance of the current state competency standards adopted in Texas by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) as they apply to the work of the educational diagnostician and the second being to examine the diagnostician's perceived ability of training institutions to prepare professionals for the field of special education evaluation. This study examined the perceptions of educational diagnosticians (N = 432) through the use of a survey instrument. Specifically the survey instrument was designed to assess diagnosticians' perceptions of importance of the SBEC competencies to special education evaluation in general, and to their practice in particular; the frequency with which they use the competencies; and their degree of training to meet the demands of the competencies through their preparatory program. Results indicate variability with regard to the perceived importance of the competencies and the degree of preparation to meet the demands of the competencies in practice.

Female adolescents identified with emotional disturbance and adjudicated female adolescents: A comparison of self-concepts.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Christensen, Jennifer E.
Description: This study addresses the academic, social, and self-image self-concepts of females ages 13-17 who are labeled emotionally and behaviorally disordered by their public school systems and are in residential treatment, and females ages 13-17 who are adjudicated, or labeled "juvenile offenders" and are involved with the juvenile justice system. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the self-concepts of these populations of adolescent females. Research questions focus on whether or not there is a difference in the confidence scores of self-image, academic, and social self-concepts, the importance scores of self-image, academic, and social self-concepts, and the confidence composite and outcome composite scores among female adolescents according to whether or not the female is adjudicated. Results show no statistically significant differences on seven of the eight measures. On the eighth measure, a statistically significant difference was found, with the non-offenders having a higher Outcome Confidence Composite score than the offenders.

State and local level implementation of schoolwide positive behavior support: An examination of the Texas Behavior Support Initiative (TBSI).
Date: May 2007
Creator: Schultz, Edward K.
Description: This study examined the current status of schoolwide positive behavior support efforts in Texas. The study specifically (a) examined the impact of statewide positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) training on the rates of discipline records, in-school ¬suspensions, out-¬of¬-school suspensions, disciplinary alternative education placements, and expulsions of public schools in Texas; (b) investigated the overall effectiveness of schoolwide positive behavior support; and (c) determined the differences between rates of discipline records, in-school ¬suspensions, out-¬of¬-school suspensions, disciplinary alternative education placements, and expulsions in schools participating in the Texas Behavior Support Initiative (TBSI): Schoolwide PBS Project when compared with matching schools who did not participate in the project. This study demonstrated that schools can significantly reduce problem behavior in their schools when implementing PBIS with fidelity. Creating effective systems of PBIS required training, coaching, and on¬site technical assistance by trained and experienced PBIS facilitators.

The historical significance of professional contributions of a leader in the field of emotional and behavioral disorders in special education: A qualitative case study of Richard J. Whelan.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Smythe, Carolyn N.
Description: Historical documentation of the impact of PL 88-164 on the field of emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) and the development and implementation of teacher-training programs for children and youth identified as E/BD is limited. This study was designed to document the historical significance and professional contributions of Dr. Richard J. Whelan, Professor Emeritus, University of Kansas and his work in the development of teacher preparation training programs in the field of E/BD in institutions of higher education (IHE). The second purpose of this study was to document the legislative and program initiatives that have impacted the services, education, teaching, and research initiatives in the field of E/BD as interpreted by Dr. Whelan. The final purpose of this study was to examine the views of Dr. Whelan regarding the need for future developments in the field of E/BD. Legislative and policy efforts continue to change the climate in which children are educated. The field of special education relies on the efficacy of the training programs in IHE to provide appropriate teaching and research efforts in a manner that is consistent with the current needs of students with E/BD, their families, and the schools in which they seek to be educated.

A qualitative analysis of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia interfering with academic and social success, and the exacerbators and diminishers of those symptoms.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Flint, Paula J.
Description: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that public schools provide appropriate school programs and transition services for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD), and the law specifically names schizophrenia as a disability for which services are to be provided. To date, little, if any, research has been conducted on schizophrenia in the field of special education. New antipsychotic medications for schizophrenia are controlling the positive symptoms of hallucinations, illusions, and the severest of delusions, thus enabling these students to remain in school. However, many interfering negative symptoms remain (e.g., loss of goals, loss of former interests, cognitive regression). The purpose of this qualitative research study was to identify the negative symptoms of schizophrenia that interfere with a student's academic and social success, primarily within a school setting, but also as they affect functioning within the family and the student's transition into the community. In addition, specific factors that act as exacerbators or diminishers of these symptoms were identified through this study. Research participants included 5 students who developed schizophrenia from the ages of 12 to 22, their parents, and their teachers. They were interviewed using a semi-structured approach resulting in over 30 hours of taped interview data. ...

Lotus Watching in LA
I spent the afternoon up in LA with my mother, and she wanted to go over and check out the new, rejuvenated Echo Park along with its new, rejuvenated lotus plants. It's a little late in the season to see them in all their glory, but they're still blooming. See here for the rather remarkable backstory about how the lotuses, once thought dead and gone forever, were brought back to life.

Case Study
Alcoa Canada Primary Products wins a CIPEC Leadership Award
From its earliest days, Alcoa has focused on continuously improving its energy efficiency. In 1900, it took more than 55 kilowatt hours (kWh) to make a kilogram of aluminum from alumina. Today, our best performing plants can produce the same quantity of aluminum using only 13.3 kWh.
Our smelting operations consume large volumes of electric power. As we pursue the modernization of our smelters, our power requirements will decrease. Our new smelters are up to 20% more efficient than our older facilities.
With combined energy efficiencies of nearly 1 terawatt-hour, our three smelters are Distinction members of Hydro-Québec's Energy Saver's Circle, which brings together energy efficiency leaders.
An Energy Efficiency Committee has been set up at each smelter. They are supported by a regional committee that includes representatives from each plant and which promotes the exchange of best practices, from simple changes in work processes to major technological innovation. The work of these committees focuses on both electrical energy and fuel consumption. Alcoa Canada Global Primary Products has also adopted an energy efficiency policy
Due to the less efficient Söderberg technology used in part at our Baie-Comeau Smelter, its energy consumption was historically higher than at our other smelters. The closure of the Söderberg Plant should allow a realignment of the smelter's consumption. In 2013, overall electricity consumption in our smelters (power to pot) was slightly lower (48.84 GJ/t Al compared to 49.27 GJ/t Al in 2012).
Fossil fuel
At the Bécancour Smelter, fossil fuel consumption decreased from 2.66 to 2.58 GJ/t Al, mainly as a result of the installation of new automated burner ramps for the anode baking furnace, leading to lower use of natural gas. Due to higher production of baked anodes, needed to allow for the upgrading of the baking furnace, scheduled for 2014, the Deschambault Smelter used higher volumes of natural gas, which accounts for the small increase recorded for our combined operations (2.30 GJ/t Al compared to 2.29 GJ/t Al in 2012).

While the tech was not too helpful with info about the status of our daughter's CDH, she did say that the radiologist confirmed it. So... Here we go. Our journey has officially began. I think I am still in shock about this... And the fact that I felt it was a boy when it turned out that we are having our first daughter! I'm pretty much numb tonight...
Comments (8)
My husband and I remind ourselves all the time that we are stronger than CDH. Even if she hasn't been so blessed, we were blessed to have her.
Keep us updated and start asking those questions!
Teacher and Geek - 7/30/2005
+1 AGT 7/28/2010 - Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
I love your kind words and positive spirit. I definitely feel numb. Doctor called late last night and told us the ultrasound results. Turns out they only mentioned her stomach in her diaphragm and her heart is off to the right. However, they told us that her heart sounds great and looks great. Good news! However, they also saw bilateral choroid plexus cysts in her brain and I don't remember when in the conversation but the word "aneuploidy" came up... After using my friend Google, turns out that there are many more questions we now have. Luckily my doc is canceling our appointment on Wednesday and getting us in to a Neonatal specialist asap. I feel so lost...
I'm so sorry you are having to walk this CDH journey but know that there is hope! It is encouraging that they are only seeing stomach up at this point. Hopefully that will limit the amount of space being crowded & allow for good lung growth. Many well wishes in the days ahead!
I would also encourage you to check out CHERUBS. They have alot of great info & support forums where you can connect with other parents as well as here. Can never have too much support!
What part of the country do you guys live? There are lots of convo's on here about great hospitals. I know I felt so much better after we had our plan. Carter was born at children's hospital of Philadelphia in their birth center--amazing :)
When I was 20ish weeks along they sent me to CHOP for a fetal MRI so they could get a look at exactly what was going on in there and what organs were in the chest and how much lung he had before birth. They were able to give us survival expectations from that.
Take care and keep us posted on your little girl!
I have a CHD-er who si 5 monhts old now. You can follow our story in my blog., I know it is hard, but hang in there. Mine is doing really well today.

Associated Press
The federal government is expanding rapidly a program to identify illegal immigrants using fingerprints from arrests, drawing opposition from local authorities and advocates who argue the initiative amounts to an excessive dragnet.
The program has gotten less attention than Arizona's new immigration law, but it may end up having a bigger impact because of its potential to round up and deport so many immigrants nationwide.
The San Francisco sheriff wanted nothing to do with the program, and the city council in Washington, D.C., blocked use of the fingerprint plan in the nation's capital. Colorado is the latest to debate the program, called Secure Communities, and immigrant groups have begun to speak up, telling the governor in a letter last week that the initiative will make crime victims reluctant to cooperate with police "due to fear of being drawn into the immigration regime."
Under the program, the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail for any crime are run against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether they've been arrested previously. Most jurisdictions are not included in the program, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been expanding the initiative.
Since 2007, 467 jurisdictions in 26 states have joined. ICE has said it plans to have it in every jail in the country by 2013. Secure Communities is currently being phased into the places the government sees as having the greatest need for it based on population estimates of illegal immigrants and crime statistics.
Since everyone arrested would be screened, the program easily could deport more people than Arizona's new law, said Sunita Patel, an attorney who filed a lawsuit in New York against the federal government on behalf of a group worried about the program.

What in the world is wrong with so many people that they fail to understand the word, "ILLEGAL"?
Is there any other country in the world where one can cross their border illegally without facing dire consequences? What is wrong with our government when we can send armed troops to protect the sovereignty of another nation but refuse to do the same to protect our sovereignty of our own nation? Have we really sunk so low in our political processes that we allow illegality to occur just so we can acquire votes?
There's this idiotic "rooting for the underdog" thing in the USA. When you are an illegal (and therefore unwanted) migrant to our nation, you aren't an "underdog". You're a criminal!
Misguided sympathy for them is only contributing to the downfall of our nation.
One major requirement of a national government is to provide for it's safety. If fringe and kook groups are allowed to legally challenge laws designed to protect America, they should be put in their place. Because, enemies can invade us either militarily or infiltrate across borders, we as a nation are at risk.
And now, with the two ladies who have "feelings" and "empathy" for the downtrodden, newly installed on our Supreme Court, we are in real danger.
Thanks to all you dipsticks that voted for the Dalai Bama, you've put this nation in greater jeopardy. NOTHING Bush did could ever top that!!!
So, they don't want to have to apply for visas and pass a proper background investigation to get one. They don't want to be sent back for having invaded. They don't want to be finger-printed and have their past criminal records checked when they're arrested for additional crimes. But they do want welfare hand-outs, food stamps/cards, in-state tuition, health care and anchor babies and chain-immigration, the privilege of voting, irresponsibility on the road, in some cases their own system of laws and courts, etc., while having US citizens pay for all of it. That's irrational at the very least.
Thank god for Obama. I'll stand behind anyone who can infuriate the non-college educated, white male.
Our immigration laws are ample and liberal? You've obviously never dealt with the State Department.
The real culprit that has caused this situation is the State Department. For example, someone opens up a Mexican restaurant in Ohio and needs some Mexican cooks; to go through the proper routes, it may take nearly a decade for the cook to receive his visa. When there are jobs that need filled, people will find other ways around that bureaucratic mess that we call our Consulates and Embassies.
There's no reason why someone can't get a work visa within a few months, other than most workers in the State Dept. are ceremonial in nature, and never screen a visa application during their career.
Another example, back in the mid 90s, I simply couldn't find any top-level software/IT engineers willing to work in Ohio. So, I had to look elsewhere, and the amount of time I had to spent forcing the State Dept. to grant me 3 work visas for 3 Indians was literally in the hundreds of hours. All three were products of US grad schools in engineering, yet I couldn't easily transition them into full-time workers.
I don't feel sorry for any American who is in direct competition with illegal immigrants for jobs. In fact, if I ran a construction company I'd hire the illegals before the Americans because at least they showed some initiative in getting here. The American, on the other hand, wasted his time in high-school, and never bothered to put in the effort to become educated or learn a trade. To be given so much opportunity, and then lazily sit back and not take advantage of it is pathetic. The illegal, however, made their way through immigration routes and into the area, they function in a foreign society, and they don't expect handouts like so many here do. I respect that.
300& USA-1, You are both complete and total MORONS...Think about this! Crack down on immigration policies,and lock down our borders. Then ,here's the icing on the cake:You Black,African,Negro(don't know what you are) Americans, start the slave trade all over. (again) Accept this time(pay attention now)you sell your families and friends back to Africa, where you can run around naked and dirty and ignorant like you like to. And my uneducated white ass will make sure that Whitey won't be there to feed you, cloth you,and house you(ooops) I meant keep you down.
Then you can take all the money that us ignorant white folk give you for selling your own people (again) and live comfortably knowing that we won't be able to opress you any more. DUMB ASS
300....You would rather hire illegals than Americans. You are exactly who the government should be going after. If it weren't for people like you hiring illegals they would stop coming. You don't have the solution for the problem, you are the problem. People that hire illegals should be prosecuted and repeat offenders should be jailed.
