What is the etiquette for a baby shower for a later-in-life pregnancy?
I'm 42 and expecting #4 unexpectedly. My older kids are 13,11 and 9. I have nothing after getting rid of all my baby stuff 7 years ago. My friends want to throw me a baby shower since I'm more or less starting over. Is this appropriate? I'm already waiting to get leftovers from others as far as crib, stroller, etc.

I really don't see how this could possibly be conceived as inappropriate you deserve a baby shower as much as anyone else, in ireland we don't really do babyshowers as such but everything is passed along to those who need it and friends and family buy gifts most people just ask if theres anything you need, no matter how many children so definitely go for it :)posted 06/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a friend who just had her 'oops' baby at 39. I had my first and only at 40. She had two boys, 10 and 12 and long since gave away anything baby, plus the few things she could get back aren't considered safe anymore! (Hello drop-side crib, I'm talking about you...) Totally had an awesome shower for her. So if someone thinks it's tacky to shower you, it's there problem. You might as well be having your first one as baby things go...posted 07/01/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Do it. If your friends want to and have offered, do it. It seems to be normal to have a shower or party for every pregnancy. I am expecting #2 and my friends had a surprise gift card shower for me!posted 06/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Depends on where you live...I live in the NW and it's pretty lax about "etiquette." I'm pregnant with #3, already have a boy and a girl, but the ladies at church are insisting on a shower after baby comes next month. Of course, I'm all for it - any excuse to get together with friends, eat cake and oogle over my new little one :) I think it's understandable as to WHY you are having one, and since it was your friends idea, not yours, I say go for it.posted 06/10/2013 by kericksen

First lady Michelle Obama penned a heartfelt letter to the residents of Newtown, Conn. one week after the senseless Sandy Hook tragedy that claimed the lives of 26 innocent victims.
The letter reads as follows:
Over the past week, we as Americans have been united in our grief as Newtown has laid to rest so many beautiful, innocent children, along with the heroic educators who worked every day to help them achieve their dreams.
As a mother of two young daughters, my heart aches for you and your families. Like so many Americans, I wish there were something — anything — I could do or say to ease your anguish.
But I know that I cannot begin to imagine the depths of your grief. I know that for many of you, the pain you are enduring right now seems unbearable; and many of you may be asking yourselves, how can we go on — as families and as a community?
But I also know that we have already begun to see the answer to that question in the countless acts of courage, kindness and love here in Newtown and across America.

A city planner in Pueblo says video lottery machines could be illegal in city dog tracks even if voters approve the proposal in the November election. Todd Ahlenius is a senior land use planner in Pueblo. He says
different types of gambling are outlined in city ordinances, and while racetrack gambling is permitted, there's nothing permitting other types of wagering, such as video gambling.
The issue revolves around Amendment 33. The ballot question would allow 500 video gambling machines at each of the Front Range's dog and horse tracks.
Proponents say the measure would generate $25 million for the state. Opponents, on the other hand, say it's nothing more than an expansion of gambling.

For the mountain in GTA San Andreas, see Mount Chiliad (GTA SA).
Mount Chiliad is the highest mountain in San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V.
Located far to the north, in the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness, it serves as the highest point in the game. Two small towns sit at its base. Grapeseed can be found to the southeast, and Paleto Bay to the northwest.
Points of InterestAt the mountain base and peak is a Gondola (tram/cable car) station. There is a hiking trail running down the east side of the mountain. There are two stationary telescopes that can be found at the peak, which cost $1 each per use. Two dirt bikes are parked at the peak of the mountain near the observation decks. There is a derelict wooden ramp near the Gondola station that can be used to drive off the edge.
Inside the station is a cryptic mural on a wall that depicts what appears to be the mountain and various symbols. An illuminate reference as seen on US currency, "The All Seeing Eye" appears above the mountain/pyramid depicted in the mural.
There appears to be two sealed doors leading to a Gondola station room directly adjacent to the mysterious mural.
The message "Come back when your story is complete" is written on the back of the observation deck. This is later revealed to be related to the hidden UFO sighting.
UFO sightingUpon reaching 100% game completion and standing on the observation deck, a UFO with FIB markings will appear overhead. There are three conditions that must be met:
- You must have 100% game completion.
- There must be a storm (not just rain). The weather cheat can be used to create a storm.
- The time must be 3 AM.
Once the UFO appears, it will stay there as long as you're on the mountain peak. In addition, other UFOs can be sighted in other locations.
- A parachute can be found on the Gondola boarding platform.
- One letter scrap piece is located near the Gondola where the parachute is found.
- Two rail signs at the top read "Old Man's Crack" and "Bell's End".
- Bell's End is a possible reference to UFO/Paranormal talk show host Art Bell on SiriusXM satellite radio (Dark Matter with Art Bell). Bell was the former primary radio talk show host of Coast to Coast AM.
- Mount Chiliad is likely based on Mount San Jacinto.

Haivision's New KulaByte(TM) 4.0 Live Transcoder Delivers 30 Percent Performance Gains With Linux-Based Cloud Transcoding
Apr 05, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- MONTREAL and CHICAGO -- Haivision is set to launch its KulaByte(TM) 4.0 software for efficient high-quality cloud transcoding at the 2012 NAB Show. KulaByte is a software-based live H.264 video transcoder that delivers the highest quality RTMP Dynamic Streaming for Flash(R) video and Adaptive HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) for iOS devices. Now available for both Linux and Windows(R), KulaByte 4.0 delivers significant gains in transcoding performance and cost savings.
With KulaByte 4.0, Haivision has migrated the award winning transcoding engine to Linux to simplify deployment of the software within cloud computing environments, improving long-term performance and reliability, and taking advantage of lower-cost cloud instances. KulaByte 4.0 Linux-support combines a 30 percent performance gain and a 30 to 40 percent cost reduction when deployed in cloud environments, such as Amazon's EC2(TM). Additionally, the transcoder introduces a simplified user interface and support for closed captioning, ad insertion, and ingestion of H.264 in MPEG-2 Transport Stream encapsulation.
"KulaByte is cornerstone technology in the over-the-top (OTT) video streaming segment," said Peter Maag, chief marketing officer for Haivision. "Migrating KulaByte to Linux was only natural. Linux is the foundation for almost all of Haivision's systems and appliances. Now, KulaByte will benefit from true carrier-grade performance, both within the server systems and in the cloud." KulaByte cloud transcoding technology has been in use extensively by Haivision clients and within Haivision's HyperStream(TM) cloud transcoding service, enabling major global streaming events such as South by Southwest (SXSW), Austin City Limits, the NASCAR Sprint Series, and the Masters Golf Tournament.
The KulaByte 4.0 transcoder will be available as a server appliance or as software-only for installation within cloud computing environments in Spring 2012.
More information about Haivision's KulaByte 4.0 is available at www.haivision.com.

On Thursday, November 7, the city council in Lake City will vote on whether to officially recommend changing the municipality's name to Rocky Top. The state would then have to give final approval during the next legislative session.
Developers have promised to build the new $20 million Rocky Top theme park attraction in Lake City, but only if the community changes its name to Rocky Top.
Lake City was not the developers' first choice for a new Rocky Top. They approached Townsend in Blount County earlier this summer with the idea, but the Townsend city council members decided they were not interested in becoming Rocky Top or building a large amusement park.
With the developers searching for another location willing to rename itself Rocky Top, they took notice of Lake City after viewing 10News coverage in August of the community's plans for a new coal miner museum. The non-profit Coal Creek Watershed Foundation says that is an ironic twist, because at the time it believed the new museum celebrating the area's mining heritage could be the impetus for returning to the community's original name of Coal Creek.
"It was Coal Creek until the 1930s," said Barry Thacker, president and founder of the Coal Creek Watershed Foundation. "So we were all excited about the community returning to its roots, embracing its heritage, until the 'Rocky Top Express' hit town. Now it looks like it the name will be even more removed from the history of Coal Creek."
Coal Creek Community Pride
The Coal Creek Watershed Foundation has spent the last 13 years working with elementary school children in Briceville and areas surrounding Lake City to give them a future by first giving them pride in their past.
"It's what our entire program is based on, pride in themselves pride in their community. Our main goal now is to help the kids go to college and we've already done that with several children. It starts with letting them know how their community changed American history when it was known as Coal Creek," said Thacker. "You can't take 10 steps in Coal Creek without running into a historic site because all of these events happened in that one area."
Those events include the Coal Creek War, a deadly uprising by miners against the state government practice of leasing prisoner slave labor to work for companies in coal mines.
"The state was taking convicts and renting them to for-profit companies. This was something that affected everyone in Tennessee because all across the state there was motivation for the government to have people in prison for a labor force. Black men in Memphis were being arrested on nothing-charges so they would be thrown in prison and sent out to mine coal. The Coal Creek miners lost the battle but won the war because their fight eventually led to states everywhere getting rid of this practice," said Thacker.
Then there were the tragic workplace disasters in and around Coal Creek that brought the issue of unsafe mining operations into the national spotlight.
"There were a couple of big disasters at Coal Creek. The Fraterville disaster in 1902 was an explosion in a mine where more than 200 men and boys died. A lot of them were killed instantly, but some of them lived more than seven hours underground and wrote farewell messages to their loved ones. One of the miners wrote to his wife, 'Oh, God, for one more breath. Ellen, remember me as long as you live. Goodbye darling.' That was the kind of thing that made national news and for the first time people in the United States could put a name to a coal miner."
The Coal Creek Watershed Foundation has organized efforts to preserve graves of the miners lost in the disasters, host reunions, and continue to educate people about their heritage while improving the local environment. In August the news that Lake City would purchase an old bank in the city to convert into a new coal miner museum was celebrated by Thacker.
"I even told them [Lake City] if they called it the Coal Creek Mining Museum, we would buy and place one of the cannons the miners used during the Coal Creek War in front of the building. It was so great to see everyone embracing the area's rich past and we felt like the leadership would take pride in changing the name back to Coal Creek," said Thacker.
Rocky Top Takeover
Rather than fully embracing history, Thacker said Lake City now seems destined to repeat a historic failure by renaming the city Rocky Top.
"The same thing happened in 1939 when elected officials started to see a chance for tourism and revenue when TVA built Norris Dam and changed Coal Creek to Lake City. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Right now you can see exactly what it must have been like in 1939. When elected officials start down that road, it's hard for citizens to stand up and say, 'Timeout. We're not Lake City, we are Coal Creek.' Just like right now it is intimidating for people to stand up and say we are not Rocky Top when officials are excited about the chance for jobs and revenue," said Thacker. "I've had descendants of those miners contact me because they feel like their heritage is being sold once again. I'm just speaking up for them."
Thacker said he welcomes development, jobs, and the theme park. However, he does not believe it has to come at the expense of the area's heritage.
"They [the developer] came in and said we're going to have an ultimatum that you will change your name to Rocky Top before we invest any money. That's not the way to start a business deal. I think it is starting off on the wrong foot. I hope it is successful, but I believe that is the wrong way to do business," said Thacker. "I have not heard a convincing explanation for why the community's name has to be Rocky Top in order for developers to build there. After all, Dollywood is in Pigeon Forge and Disney World is in Orlando, Florida, and would not have been any more successful if their cities changed their names."
When asked about the potential for a Rocky Top name change to attract more tourists to the city and the mining museum, Thacker conceded it could possibly help promote his organization's educational mission to a larger audience. However, he does not believe a name change is required.
"I'm all for development. I would love to see the amusement park be built there. I am just not in agreement with abandoning the culture of that community. On 60 percent of the headstones for the miners that were killed in the Fraterville and Cross Mountain disasters, there is an inscription that says 'gone but not forgotten.' Unfortunately, for a long time they were forgotten. I think they need to be heard. They were an important part of Tennessee history and I think changing the name to Rocky Top is the wrong approach. It was Coal Creek, then Lake City, and will now probably be Rocky Top. In Lake City there is no Rocky Top and there is no lake, but the one thing that still flows through the community is Coal Creek."

However, unlike the dry microburst where the falling hydrometeors remain virga, in the wet microburst, a gush of rain reaches the surface with high winds, and produces a brief, surface pressure spike called a pressure nose. This downward bulge of heavy virga preceeding a severe microburst was observed at Dallas Ft. Worth International Airport just before an aircraft was downed by an encounter with the ensuing microburst (Caracena et al., 1987a). (To go to the next phase, click on the image.)

Bear lake is located in the Oak Creek Wildlife Area about 15 miles west of Naches. Although open to fishing year-round, this small lake is generally not accessible by vehicle until late April or early May due to snowpack. There is an unpaved forest road to the lake. Elevation is 4610 feet.
Due to access problems for large hatchery trucks the lake will no longer be stocked with catchable size rainbow trout, but instead will be stocked with cutthroat trout fry. Since the trout fry need to grow to a catchable size, anglers should not expect a decent fishery until 2015-2016.

Literally, a method of actualization, namely a meditation method for actualizing oneself as a Buddha-figure for which one has received empowerment.

Synonymous with "self-generation" and "antecedent practice for realization."
J. Hopkins' translation: "means of achievement."
|Tib: sgrub-thabs
Skt: sadhana
|safe direction
A direction that one puts in one's life that will protect one from true suffering and its true causes, and, when one reaches the goal of this direction, allows one to avoid true suffering and its true causes forever. Some translators render this as "refuge."

|same essential nature
The relationship between two facts about the same attribute of a phenomenon. In a sense, the two facts are referring to the same phenomenon from two points of view.

Some translators render the term as "one by nature."
J. Hopkins' translation: "one entity; same entity."
|Tib: ngo-bo gcig
Uncontrollably recurring rebirth under the power of disturbing emotions and attitudes and of karma. Some translators render it as "cyclic existence."
J. Hopkins' translation: "cyclic existence."

Skt: samsara
The literal meaning of the Sanskrit term is a "community"; the literal meaning of the Tibetan translation is "those intent on a constructive goal."

Often translated as "path of seeing."
J. Hopkins' translation: "path of seeing."
|Tib: mthong-lam
|self-arising deep awareness
In Nyingma, the aspect of pure awareness (rigpa) that automatically arises with awareness of its own two truths or its own threefold nature. Synonymous with reflexive deep awareness.

The attitude with which one considers oneself as the most important being and has affection for and takes care of only oneself.
|Tib: rang bces-par 'dzin-pa

Something on the side of an object or phenomenon that (1) establishes the existence, in general, of the object or phenomenon and (2) establishes, as well, what the object or phenomenon is.

J. Hopkins' translation: "nature/inherent existence/inherent nature."
|Tib: rang-bzhin
An attitude of thinking only about oneself, as if one were the only one in the world, and not thinking about anyone else; narcissism.

See: cognitive sensor
|sentient being
See: limited being
|serenely stilled and settled state of mind
|serviceability retreat
An intensive tantric meditation practice, done over many meditation sessions, during which one performs the sadhana and recites the mantra of a Buddha-figure ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or many hundreds of thousands of times, depending on the number of syllables in the mantra. When completed and finished off with the appropriate fire puja, this intensive practice makes the mind fit to be used (fit to be put into service) for more advanced tantric practices with that Buddha-figure.

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
If you're sick of plunging your knife into a glass ketchup bottle to avoid French fry oversaturation, or merely just concerned about recent reports of excessive sodium lurking in your favorite burger accoutrement, try dressing up your dishes the old-fashioned way with DIY condiments.
Here to help you ditch the bottle is "Top Chef All Stars" winner, chef/owner of Flip Burger Boutique and HD1 and overall liquid nitrogen enthusiast, Richard Blais.
Five Easy and Creative Condiments You Can Make at Home: Richard Blais
Feel free to substitute any herbs you wish, or omit them entirely, but this combo is sort of a love child of salsa verde, aïoli and Vietnamese herb salad. Lather it on a crusty baguette with some roast pork and pickled vegetables, or serve it as a sauce for a seared piece of fish."
2. Mustard seed caviar
3. Red wine ketchup
4. Srir-ancha
5. rBQ sauce
Barbecue sauce is something that you can throw together in your pantry, a true 'quickfire,' so change it up and add and subtract how you like. I add the ham packet (Sazón) for umami, but feel free to substitute that with a splash of Worcestershire, where my family is from in England."

Brett Bowl IV: Packers 31, Vikings 3
Nothing went right for Brett Favre and the Vikings yesterday afternoon. The opening drive went well enough, with Favre directing a 77-yard drive capped by a Ryan Longwell field goal. But it was all downhill from there.
A sign of the impending doom was visible early on when defensive tackle Kevin Williams ran out onto the field with his name misspelled on his jersey as "Willaims." Williams is one of the Vikings' longest-tenured players, and a five-time Pro Bowler. It's not as though the equipment managers don't know who he is.
More consequential mistakes happened on the field. Favre went without a touchdown in what -- for now -- would seem his final appearance against his former team. On the other side of the ball, the Vikings defense allowed Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to serve up his first 4-touchdown game, and a 140.1 passer rating (anything above 90 is considered good). Three of Rodgers' touchdown passes went to Greg Jennings, formerly one of Favre's favorite targets.
Now at 3-7, the Vikings' playoff hopes are all but extinguished. The Bears and Packers sit atop the NFC North with matching 7-3 records, leaving Minnesota 4 games back with only 6 to play.
As rivals for 50 years, Minnesota and Green Bay have now played each other 100 times. Whatever each team's fortunes in a given year, they almost always play each other close. That's one reason why yesterday's 31-3 score was such a surprise. If this was indeed Favre's last game against the Green Bay Packers, he went out with a whimper, not a bang.
Next week, the Vikings head to DC to play the ailing Redskins, which could give them the boost they need. A victory over Washington might also afford a longer leash for head coach Brad Childress, who had to endure the crowd chanting "Fire Childress" in the fourth quarter. Rumors are swirling that he may be fired as soon as today, which would mark the second game in a row that a Packers opponent fires its head coach after playing them. The Dallas Cowboys fired Wade Phillips after his talent-laden team lost 45-7 at Lambeau Field.
There are also rumors that Favre may retire before the end of the season. His $1 million-per-game salary makes that unlikely; that kind of money can soothe a lot of indignities.
The Packers may not have Minnesota's internal troubles, but their road to the playoffs is only slightly easier. This week they will take on a tough Atlanta Falcons team in the Georgia Dome. Matchups against the Patriots, Giants, and Bears remain on the schedule.

European Whirl April 14th 2013?
Hi guys, just wondering who's going on the European Whirl tour starting April 14 2013 as my original tour was already cancelled due to a lack in numbers! Eeep!
European Whirl
10 countries \ 19 days \ from US$2655 per person
If you've been dreaming of going to Europe but don't know exactly where to start, the European Whirl is your best option. Taking in the usual destinations of Paris, Rome and Amsterdam, it also ventures out east to Prague and Berlin. Both of which are currently on Europe's 'must see' list. The perfect combination of culture, relaxation and of course, good times!

Fort Bliss officers gain first-hand cultural awareness in community
December 2, 2008
FORT BLISS, Texas--More than 50 students from the Fort Bliss Basic Officer Leader Course visited the Islamic Center of El Paso to gain first-hand knowledge of the Muslim culture to better prepare them for deployment.
"There are two ways to approach the war - with hearts at war, or hearts at peace," said Chaplain (Maj.) Anthony Horton, 6th Air Defense Artillery Brigade ethics instructor. "This quality information gives our troops facts and understanding of what the people of Islam are really about. Muslims are humble people and their religion is of peace and by getting this cultural experience, hopefully commanders will make choices to bring peace about."
Horton said this was the second time they offered the cultural lesson to junior officers and will continue to do so because, as future leaders, they will be conducting civil affairs operations. Therefore, they need to understand how to most effectively communicate with the people of Islam, said Horton.
Future leaders learned to say "peace upon you" in Arabic, which the Imam of the Islamic Center of El Paso said was the proper greeting and the best way to connect with the people of Islam. Another crucial aspect of their culture is respect, he said.
"People over there live in very poor conditions," said the Imam. "Poor people don't have material things to show off with. The only thing they hold precious is their dignity. If you hurt that, you lose them. If you give them respect, you will own them. This is my message to you."
Another way to gain their confidence is by drinking their coffee, said the Imam. He said many times their cups have fingerprints and are not the most spotless, but advised not to inspect them because that is the best they can offer due to their living conditions.
"If they offer you their coffee, they are offering you their life," said the Imam.
The Imam said it was very important to have the right principles and understanding of the culture to earn their trust.
The Imam also talked about the structure of the Mosque, the Islamic ritual prayers, the women's rights, religious customs, their humble and modest attire, their diet that prohibits consuming pork and alcohol, statistics, and some of the misconceptions people of Islam have about Americans and vice versa.
The Imam, who has been living in the U.S. for nine years, said most people get their misconceptions from watching television. He said most people in the Middle East watch two things on TV: politics and Hollywood movies. Therefore they perceive women as prostitutes and men as thugs, drug dealers, criminals and violent people. The Imam said the only way people in the Middle East will change their perception of the U.S. is by visiting and talking to them.
"Especially if you are a foreigner and you try to speak their language, they will laugh and joke about you, but eventually they will invite you to their home and force you to drink their coffee," said the Imam.
Second Lt. Will Andrews, a student, said it was good to hear a moderate version of the culture versus the extremist view, which was what he saw during his deployment.
"He was definitely real and upfront about how Iraqis are," Andrews said. "If you disrespect them, you will lose them. You will lose not only their trust, but also their cooperation. We were blessed where we were at, because we got the community's trust and they helped us tremendously."
Andrews said it was interesting to hear about some of the fallacies and rumors they have about Americans and said it works both ways. He said the visit made him realize that everyone is human and the only way the Middle Eastern conflict can be solved is by working together.
"I specifically learned about how to earn their respect," 2nd Lt. Jeffrey Cho, a student. "To me that was very important because you definitely have to gain their trust. One of the most amazing parts was the perspectives of both cultures. They are both obviously wrong in many ways. That is the part I found extremely interesting."
