Your baby is approximately 6 inches/ 14.2 centimetres long from crown to rump and she weighs about 7 ounces/ 190 grams. Her chest moves up and down to mimic breathing but she's not taking in air, only amniotic fluid.
A mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan is often done sometime in the second trimester (usually between 18 and 22 weeks) to assess fetal growth and development, screen for certain birth defects, check the placenta and umbilical cord and determine whether the gestational age is accurate. During this scan, you might see your baby kick, flex, reach, roll, or even suck her thumb. Bring your husband along, and whether or not he's able to accompany you, make sure you ask for printouts of the baby in various poses.
If you're having a girl, the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes are in place. If it's a boy, the genitals are distinct and recognisable. If you are carrying more than one baby, check out our section on twins or more.
- Note: Experts say every baby develops differently -- even in utero. These fetal development pages are designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the womb.

Offering Training Programs Empowers Employees
by Tom Bychinski
At The Peachtree Companies Inc. (TPC), headquartered in Norcross, Ga., training equals empowerment. Whether it's empowering our customers to achieve success for their own business or empowering our employees to reach and utilize their potential, we strive "to inspire, educate, motivate and develop both internal and external customers."
TPC manufactures three brands: Peachtree® Doors and Windows, Crestline® Windows and Doors and Vetter® Windows and Doors. Each brand has its own identity, marketing strategy and product line; therefore, each requires its own training program. Throughout the year, each brand offers five/six three-day introductory programs for both customers and employees. There are also advanced programs available, as well as a field service seminar.
Who is Trained?
Customers who sell TPC products and employees in service-related areas are encouraged to attend the introductory program, regardless of selling experience or years in the millwork industry. Both customers and employees benefit from learning new ways to communicate to potential customers about the products and services they offer. We want to enable them to present themselves as experts who sell superior windows and doors. And, we want to guarantee that their potential customers receive a clear message and understand the benefits they will receive from our training.
Training sessions for all three brands feature common elements. In every training session, we separate 35-50 participants into small groups to form teams that will work together for the duration of the program. This allows participants to foster relationships and network with other professionals from across the country. Also, interactive participation is a must for all attendees. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences and offer advice.
Key Elements
Sales skills and product knowledge are the key elements for each training program. Everyday participants learn and review sales techniques that will enable them to sell windows and doors to builders, architects, contractors, homeowners, etc. They learn a variety of tactics that coincide with their personal style as well as review communication skills and etiquette essential in sales.
Product Knowledge
Without sufficient product knowledge, participants will not reap the benefits of their sales skills. Since participants in the program are at a variety of levels, ranging from those who have been selling our products 25 years to those who just entered the sales field, the introductory program moves at a steady pace. Because the brands are continuously improving and making additions and innovations, there is something new for everyone to learn.
As a motivational technique, we combine product knowledge and training with fun. In order for any training program to be successful, participants must have fun because adults tend to learn at a faster pace when they enjoy themselves. Infused with the program are games and activities designed to help participants learn and retain the information easily. For example after presentations and lessons, teams play "Jeopardy" or "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" for prizes and other rewards.
Left: The companies' trainees always have something to learn, since products are always changing. Right: Trainers strive to have fun in presentations.
Facility Tours
On the second day of training, participants have the opportunity to visit our manufacturing facilities. Crestline and Vetter classes, which are held in Mosinee, Wis., visit the 660,000 square-foot, Central Wisconsin location. Peachtree classes tour the 500,000-square-foot, Georgia location. For most of our customers, this is their first time in a state-of-the-art window and door manufacturing facility. At the plants they observe the precision, innovation and craftsmanship necessary for creating high-quality products. In addition, they view our specialized manufacturing and quality methods such as demand-flow technology. Plant tours provide customers with a broader perception about the manufacturing process, allowing them to develop even more appreciation for the actual product. Participants also have the chance to visit customer-service representatives.
Product Enhancements
In addition to sales and product knowledge, participants learn of product enhancements and innovations designed to make their job easier. For example, customers watch a demonstration of SmartQuote™, TPC's estimating program. With SmartQuote, TPC customers can specify, estimate and enter orders. This advanced estimating software also allows customers to organize and track projects easily by project name, sales representative or customer.
Each program also includes in-depth competitor analysis. Participants review a breakdown of competitor product information and they inspect the actual product. This increases their selling power, allowing them to decipher the differences between the brands and their competition. In addition, participants learn about brand strategies, including the future of the brands and marketing services, where they learn of new promotional materials, literature and other resources available to them and their customers.
Test Time
Before participants graduate from the introductory program, the teams use the sales skills they learned to develop sales presentations. Each team receives a product that was not covered in the class. Here participants demonstrate what they will actually do when they're in the field. The other teams learn about the products as if they are the customers. After each presentation, the other teams critique the information providing suggestions and general feedback. After each presentation is complete, participants graduate and receive plaques.
At TPC, we evaluate the success of the training program by the immediate response we receive from surveys and the increase in sales. Customer responses following participation have been tremendous, with many advising associates and co-workers to attend future classes.
Advanced Programs
After completion of the introductory course, our customers are invited to attend our advanced programs. The advanced training program consists of a product review, in which customers test data with the engineering team, advanced counselor sales skills and role-playing.
In the near future, additional training classes will be available for TPC customers. As we continue to develop new methods to empower our employees, we are certain that active involvement and fun is the atmosphere required for learning, and mandatory for both TPC and customer training success.

Drugs are also the most common treatment for tension headache, although attempts to use biofeedback to control muscle tension have had some success. Physical methods such as heat or cold applications often provide additional if only temporary relief.
Sometimes x-rays will show a disc problem which can be helped by surgery. But neither the myelogram nor disc surgery is foolproof. Milder analgesics (aspirin or stronger nonnarcotic medications) and electrical stimulation -- using TENS or implanted brain electrodes -- can be very effective. What is not effective is long-term use of the muscle-relaxant tranquilizers. Many specialists are convinced that chronic use of these drugs is detrimental to the back patient, adding to depression and increasing pain. Massage or manipulative therapy are used by some clinicians but other than individual patient reports their usefulness is still undocumented.
Besides aspirin, current treatments for arthritis include several nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs like indomethacin and ibuprofen. But these drugs, too, may have serious side effects. TENS and acupuncture have been tried with mixed results. In cases where tissue has been destroyed, surgery to replace a diseased joint with an artificial part has been very successful. The "total hip replacement" operation is an example.
Arthritis is best treated early, say the experts. A modest program of drugs combined with exercise can do much to restore full function and forestall long-term degenerative changes. Exercise in warm water is especially good since the water is both relaxing and provides buoyancy that makes exercises easier to perform. Physical treatments with warm or cold compresses are helpful sources of temporary pain relief.
Sometimes specialists treating tic find that certain blood vessels in the brain lie near the group of nerve cells supplying sensory fibers to the face, exerting pressure that causes pain. The surgical insertion of a small sponge between the blood vessels and the nerve cells can relieve the pressure and eliminate pain.
Among other notoriously painful neurogenic disorders is pain from an amputated or paralyzed limb -- so called "phantom" pain -- that affects up to 10 percent of amputees and paraplegia patients. Various combinations of antidepressants and weak narcotics like Darvon® are sometimes effective. Surgery, too, is occasionally successful. Many experts now think that the electrical stimulating techniques hold the greatest promise for relieving these pains.

Fast 'N' Bulbous: A Tribute
To Captain Beefheart (1988)
Early Trib To An A-1 Nose-Thumber
After the sad passing of Don Van Vliet last week, this one probably surfaced on numerous other blogs. But, one of our readers was kind enough to rip and send this, so we thought we'd share it with you… just in case you missed it. A 1988, alternative artist tribute to the good Captain, filled with edgy, nervous artists doing edgy, nervous material from an edgy, nervous guy. When it comes to covering Beefheart, there are typically two ways to go, homage or re-invention. Vocally, Van Vliet's absence is always a challenge, as it leaves a sonic void in the music and our memories. How that challenge is answered is often indicative of how good the cover is. The Dog Face Hermans' re-interpretation sidesteps all comparisons with a mix of raucous rock 'n' post-CBGB insolence (and a female singer). The Beat Poets address the elephant-not-in-the-room with two sturdy instrumentals of "Sun Zoom Spark" and "Gimme That Harp Boy," while XTC's "Ella Guru" aims straight for expert authenticity. The 1988 LP was later expanded for CD, adding two bonus tracks (by bands already represented). Many thanks to Ruby Escort for sending this along to us. Out of print and not-so-nicely priced by Amazon sellers.

|News Releases - Music & Entertainment
|Written by Lily Allen-Duenas
|Monday, 21 April 2014 15:04

Lojo Russo is described "as a songwriter with a lot of lyrical power, a guitarist with powerful playing and a singer with one heckuva voice who performs with the energy and rocking empowerment of Ani DiFranco, the graceful folksiness of the Indigo Girls and the gritty blues of Susan Tedeschi." Russo is comfortable making music no matter where she is - whether playing festivals or front steps, coffeehouses or concert halls her music, her style and her stories never cease to amaze and amuse. Her enormous stage energy, powerful voice and percussive playing style belie her small frame. As one promoter put it, "This is a one woman show that shows you only need one woman."

Bay County and state forestry officials were still mopping up hotspots Sunday in a fire that destroyed at least 700 acres near Youngstown.
The fire started just south of North Bear Creek Road in Bay County around noon Saturday. Fire officials say hotspots should stay contained because they're only burning in spots that have already been heavily damaged.
The wind helped start other fires hundreds of feet away from where the fire originally started. The fire spread all the way north of Scotts Ferry Road and into parts of Calhoun County.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

This seismic hazard map for Idaho shows earthquake ground motions that have a specified probability of being exceeded in 50 years. These ground motion values are used for reference in construction design for earthquake resistance. The ground motion values can also be used to assess relative hazard between sites, when making economic and safety decisions (http://eqhazmaps.usgs.gov/ accessed 1/18/05).
LEPC Relative Risk Rating
The LEPC gave earthquake was given a relative risk hazard rating of
"8." The LEPC determined that
over 75 percent of the developed area of the county would be impacted should an
earthquake occur. Although the
probability of earthquake occurrence is unknown, the LEPC consensus, based on
available information, is that it would be rare to have an earthquake that would
have substantial negative impact to property, environment, health and safety of
people, or the economy in Boundary County.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe charged today that Sen. John McCain's Straight Talk Express has taken a "nasty turn into the gutter" with a new ad that features pop stars Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
Noting that McCain said he is "proud" of the campaign he is running for the presidency during a stop today in Racine, Wis., Plouffe added that he believes the Arizona senator ran into a "ravine in Racine."
"It seems like we hit another low note every day from this campaign," Plouffe said on a conference call with reporters, later adding, "This is not the John McCain voters thought they were going to be seeing in this presidential campaign."
The conference call was pegged to the release of yet another campaign web site. This one, called "Low Road Express," is sponsored by Obama's campaign and claims a mission of documenting and fact-checking McCain attacks.
Plouffe said McCain's campaign is using Republican operative Karl Rove's playbook, but has taken it to a "further extreme." He was joined on the call by Susan Eisenhower, a lifelong Republican and granddaughter of the former president.
"I don't think that these kinds of comments and innuendoes have any place in a presidential campaign of this importance," she said. "I also think that ordinary voters are tired of the kind of swift-boating attempt to bring out the negative side of -- the twisted ways -- that they can create negativity about people."
Eisenhower praised McCain, but suggested that he is acting in a desperate way.
"Sen. McCain can't possibly mean this because he has been a great public servant and a real genuine American hero," she said. "I suspect that he is under pressure to take steps like this."
Plouffe, who earlier in the day sent a fundraising appeal pegged to the new ad, said the Hilton-Spears flap will do McCain more harm that good.
"It's meant to create shock value, I guess. A lot of time has been spent talking about the ad," he said. "We think it is going to do them absolutely no good and probably quite a bit of harm."
Plouffe also charged that McCain's campaign will now be rooted in negativity for the next three months.
"I assume this is not a two-or-three-day strategy for the McCain campaign and so, you know, folks ought to just buckle up their seat belts," he said.
But Plouffe did not have a direct answer when asked by several reporters what Obama has to back up the suggestion yesterday that Republicans are using his race to create fear because he does not "look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills."
Plouffe did, however, say Obama's campaign hopes to "add some more in the coming weeks" to the list of 18 battleground states where it is most aggressively campaigning and running television ads.

text: The Placer Herald Associate Editor Lauren Gibbs will be named California's 2011 Community Editor of the Year in connection with National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Gibbs will be honored Friday, April 1 at Sacramento's Garden Pavilion during the Heroes With Heart Gala hosted by child advocate Marc Klaas. Klaas is seen nightly on CNN/HLN's Nancy Grace and is president and founder of Klaas Kids Foundation. The commemorative plaque represents excellence in reporting that highlights the accomplishments of young people, while encouraging an interest in journalism. Gibbs' nominator noted several stories she wrote and/or edited, which featured children in Placer County going the extra mile, and mentioned how frequently this editorial content is seen framed and displayed in Placer County businesses and establishments. "When children see other young people getting attention for making positive choices, they are much more likely to move forward a more productive direction themselves," said De' Kovill, executive director of WynSpring Family Resource Center, the organization partnering with Klaas Kids to kick off National Child Abuse Prevention Month. There will be four major events, including the Heroes With Heart Gala where Gibbs is being recognized. Placer Herald Publisher Jean Lund will receive a matching accommodation for empowering the purposeful efforts. Additional gala award winners include Sacramento S.W.A.T., Sacramento sheriff's and police departments and Granite Bay High School. ~Staff report


text: I will be in vegas next weekend for my first solo trip!! What bars can you all recommend that have live cover bands? I love to go dancing to live music especially rock music. I am not much of a drinker and definately do not want to go to any clubs where you have to get all dolled up and stand in line for hours. I couldn't even imagine trying to walk around vegas in heels. On past trips I have been to margaritaville and they usually have a band that is pretty good but they dont have one listed for that weekend. I will also check out carnival court since I just read they will be re-opening early and they usually have decent bands and a fun atmosphere. Has any one had any experience with Octane lounge at the excalibur? They say they have bands and rock music but can't find much info about it. I will be staying at the Mirage but I dont mind walking the down the strip for a great place.

A65 will not enter power saving mode, chewing the battery.
It is set for 10 sec, but the LCD screen stay on untill I turn off the camera.
I changed it to other different time intervals, but no change.
Did a few hard resets, same thing (menu+movie+play button routine).
I asume that the hard resets were OK because I would get the alpha logo flash for a split second on the LCD screen. Nevertheless, no saved settings or time, date, etc. have changed or defaulted.
Perfect timing as I am leaving on the 20th for a trip.
Any suggestions highly appreciated.

|Spreading the Pain
|News/Features - Feature Stories
|Tuesday, 03 February 2004 18:00
While the Iowa Cities have been talking trash to alleviate budget woes – and running into serious public opposition – Moline and Rock Island have turned to taxes, looking for ways to raise revenues that are less painful to their residents.
The goal is for the rest of the Quad Cities to shoulder some of the cities' financial burden.
Times are tough all over, as the governmental pass-the-buck game has left many cities with serious budget problems. Illinois and Iowa state governments have taken money away from municipalities – by reducing financial support or through new fees or mandates – and the cities have been forced to cut services or staff, raise taxes or fees, or a combination of those.
In Iowa, Bettendorf and Davenport have looked to garbage fees to solve budget problems, but they haven't gotten very far. Davenport City Administrator Craig Malin suggested a garbage fee – the city presently doesn't have one – but the city council to this point has rejected it. Bettendorf actually passed a major garbage-fee increase – tripling the cost to residents – but rescinded it late last year in the face of public opposition. (See "Left Holding the Bag," River Cities' Reader Issue 458, January 7-13, 2004.) As those cities grapple with their budgets for the upcoming fiscal years, those fees will almost certainly be back on the table, as city councils try to avoid cutting services.
The Illinois Quad Cities have taken a different route, with Moline increasing its sales tax one-quarter percent starting on January 1 and Rock Island passing a 1-percent food-and-beverage tax last week. (The Rock Island tax will probably go into effect April 1.)
These taxes are designed to take a big chunk out of the cities' expected shortfalls. At the beginning of its budget process, Moline projected a $3-million deficit for the fiscal year that began January 1. And Rock Island anticipated a $1.2-million shortfall for the fiscal year that starts April 1. Moline's sales tax is expected to generate $1.6 million a year, while Rock Island's new tax should create $400,000 in new revenue.
The approach of the Illinois Quad Cities has been largely political. Unlike fees that fall exclusively on residents, the sales and food-and-beverage taxes affect people from outside the municipalities as well. Rock Island shoppers, for instance, pay the new Moline sales tax at SouthPark Mall, while Iowa residents pay the food-and-beverage tax when they eat or drink in The District of Rock Island.
"This would be paid by … visitors who are using our infrastructure," said Kathleen Carr, Moline's finance director. She added that the sales tax most affects people who can afford to purchase goods, and not property owners with fixed incomes.
The spread-the-deficit philosophy is also espoused by Rock Island officials in pitching the food-and-beverage tax. "The burden will be shared … by people who live in the whole area," said Rock Island City Administrator John C. Phillips.
But initially, the food-and-beverage tax will probably be absorbed by businesses rather than customers, said John Bickett, president of The District of Rock Island. Increasing prices to reflect the tax would most likely mean upping them by a quarter, he noted, and that's not going to happen. "The businesses themselves are going to shoulder the burden," he said. "They're just going to eat it." The 1-percent tax will likely be included in the cost of a beer or drink, for example, instead of being added to it.
Businesses have already had to deal with other cost increases. Dan Cleaveland, co-owner of the Blue Cat Brew Pub in Rock Island, said his establishment has been hit from two sides: the state and the city. Among other tax, fee, and cost increases, the restaurant's unemployment insurance is going up and the state's minimum wage is following suit, on the one hand, and the city increased the cost of its after-hours license and instituted the food-and-beverage tax. "It's just one thing after another," Cleaveland said. "We're going to have to raise prices just to keep up."
Rick Baker, president and CEO of the Illinois Quad City Chamber of Commerce, said cities need to be "very cautious about passing along costs to the business community." Baker said he hasn't gotten complaints from business owners about the Moline and Rock Island taxes, but the issue is something to watch.
Many businesses have already been hit by one or several of the more than 400 fee increases the State of Illinois passed last year, Baker said.
Municipalities need to ensure that businesses remain competitive, he added. "The sales taxes are similar on both sides of the river," he said, but that could change down the road. That's certainly a concern, considering that both Rock Island and Moline are projecting significant deficits in coming years. "It's something we have to be very careful about," Baker said.
"The city isn't made up of just restaurants and clubs," Cleaveland said. "Everyone should feel a little bit of this."
Rock Island chose the food-and-beverage tax over a sales tax because the city has a small retail base compared to Moline. Phillips said that Rock Island receives only $80 per capita from the local share of sales taxes, while Moline brings in $300 per capita. "We have the people but we don't have the retail base," Phillips said.
(The local share of sales tax in Illinois is distributed to the city that generated it, while in Iowa the county's sales-tax revenues are distributed among its municipalities on a per-capita basis.)
Most of the cities' budget problems have been caused by state government, Phillips said. Rock Island is getting $1.9 million less in state income, use, sales, and replacement taxes now than it did four years ago. And the state has also passed unfunded mandates, such as fees for the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. Phillips said the Illinois General Assembly passed the fee program in July, and municipalities got bills in August. Rock Island's came to $65,000. "No one budgeted for it," Phillips said.
"We are a target" of the state legislature, he added.
Cities are trying to deal with their budget troubles with a combination of cuts and new revenues. The Moline sales tax is expected to bring in just over half of the city's anticipated deficit; another $1 million is being made up through cuts. "We didn't cut anything that affects services," Carr said.
Rock Island's new tax represents only a third of its expected deficit. There are $500,000 in new fees being implemented, from building-permit fees to higher fines, and nearly $350,000 in cuts, from a $1,800 employee event to a reduction in downtown tree-trimming.
But the cuts and new taxes are short-term fixes. Both Moline and Rock Island are expecting big deficits in future years.
"Things don't look very rosy in any of those five [upcoming] years," Carr said. Moline projects a $2-million deficit going into fiscal 2005, and another $2-million hole beyond that the next year, and so on. Those come exclusively from additional costs associated with contractually or legislatively determined salaries, benefits, and health insurance.
Rock Island is in the process of updating its five-year projections, but Phillips said that "it's not a pretty sight." The new figures will be presented to the city council with a budget proposal on February 9.
Unlike Iowa cities, home-rule governments in Illinois don't have a property-tax cap to contend with. (Davenport cannot raise its tax rate because it's at the cap, while Bettendorf does have some room.)
Still, both Moline and Rock Island are proud to maintain or lower their property-tax rates. Rock Island Mayor Mark Schwiebert, in his State of the City speech last month, noted, "Despite increasing costs and decreasing federal and state revenues, our city council has committed for the 12th straight year to a slight reduction in our property-tax rate." The rate dropped from $4.13 per $100 of assessed valuation in 1991 to $2.49 in 2004.
Carr said the Moline City Council is committed to keeping the city's property-tax rate the same.
And while Moline and Rock Island got by this year without a property-tax increase, that's probably not going to be a luxury they'll have for very long. As the deficits mount and there's less and less fat to cut, higher property taxes might be the only way out of the tough financial times.

The World of Eldaron - FINAL
Great Map man i love the style, and the way it looks. Awesome!
I too find it amazing, I am trying to get ideas and find ways to create maps like this, is it drawn and then photoshoped like your previous map? I am curious!
Gah, sorry I missed the comment, Brandon. No, this one wasn't hand drawn to begin with. This one started with a black and white image created from the clouds filter in Photoshop. I painted with white and black brushes on the clouds layer under a levels adjustment layer to create the outlines of the continents. From there... well, there were a heck of a lot of steps involved to get to the final product.

I'm really surprised that it's not midnight right now...Seriously.
I'm so proud. I didn't commit to anything new this week. There were a couple of things I thought about but I know I need to clear things out.
Hexalong: Fabric choices a go-go. I might throw some ideas up on Flickr to see what the group things.
The ugly chicken project: I have an idea! I'm drawing up hexie templates this afternoon. I just need to decide on size.
KQAL: I've got the batting for this. I still need to re-piece the top and make the back for it. But the end is near!
ZZQAL: The next step went up! And it's cutting so I'll have that banged out within the next couple of days.
Made some more progress. I'm still terribly behind. But that really isn't phasing me. I know that there will be weeks where I'll do three or four blocks and that'll catch me up quick. I love this QAL more and more each week.
Mother's Keeper: Are you really surprised to find that it is still just a quilt top? Ug.
On hold:
Bottled Rainbows: This is coming off the hold list soon. If not next week then the week after.
Non-Quilt Projects:
Batman Bags: Holy finished bags, Batman! Yes *bags* with an 's'. I figured since I was sitting down to do one I can just do two. That way I've got a backup.
WiPs: 6
Completed: 1
Even though I've got a lot of projects at a standstill this still feels like a week of progress for me.

"Get educated. Find a support group, so that if you need to talk to somebody, you can talk there. Because there are people like you who are dealing with the same thing. Also, get a doctor who is a specialist on HIV. That's important, because not every doctor knows about HIV."
Connect With People Who've Been There
TheBody.com's active boards are the place to connect with others.
"As a long-term survivor (21 years and counting) of HIV, I can honestly say that if you do what you need to do, care for yourself -- eat healthy foods, avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugar, get plenty of rest and exercise regularly, you should be able to live a long, healthy and prosperous life. Be sure to maintain a good mental state of mind/being -- it helps get you through the tough spots."

You're not alone. It's one of the most important things to keep in mind as you adjust to the fact that you're living with HIV. And thanks to the Internet, it's more true today than it's ever been.
Nobody should face an HIV diagnosis all by themselves. So, whatever your reservations, make sure you connect with a community of HIV-positive people. It's a key step towards solving both the emotional and practical problems of living with HIV.
In the U.S., every state has a number of local HIV/AIDS organizations. An HIV/AIDS organization can be a true lifeline in many ways. Most organizations offer most, if not all, of these critical services:
If you're in the U.S., you can use our online ASO Finder to find an HIV/AIDS organization near you, or browse our state-by-state list of organizations.
If you live outside the U.S., use our country-by-country listing of HIV/AIDS organizations to locate sources of help near you.

By Steve Cook
RISMedia, June 8, 2011—New listing prices, which lead transactions by three to six months, are already up 8.7 percentage points over the March trough, an indication that sellers are pricing more confidently, says Scott Sambucci, vice president of market analytics for Altos Research in a Webcast for customers.
But he warned that we've entered a new market environment that won't be easy to forecast.
"We're entering the catfish recovery. What is the catfish recovery? Housing prices will find their way back to a fairly stable and sustainable place near the bottom and they'll stay there for a while. Catfish live on the bottom of lakes and streams, bobbing up and down, moving around without any clear direction. The housing price trend will look like the path of a swimming catfish, and that's why it's the catfish recovery," says Sambucci.
Sambucci says Altos' Mid-Cities Composite, which consists of 20 mid-sized markets, is less volatile that Case-Shiller's 20 major markers. During the housing crash it exhibited less downside and more seasonable stability but the same market trends. The composite's markets had less subprime financing and were a mix of bubble and non-bubble markets.
"The double dip is simply the beginning of the next market cycle," Sambucci says. "We're heading into the single best time to make money in real estate, but only for smart people."
Smart people recognize that the market is volatile, he says. Alto has measured 12 percent annual volatility in its own composite. They also know their local markets, where timing is everything. Even within a zip code prices vary greatly and investors must understand what local factors affect the market.
"Volatility means profit with the right information," Sambucci says.

Curva Sito Pons at Jerez, Spain is one of life's immensely satisfying corners—if you get it right. It is a long, sweeping uphill right-hander taken fast in third gear, and leads onto the back straight. I cut the Ducati 1098R in wide and stayed on a neutral throttle. You can not see the exit until you have crested the hill, but this was my third session, so I knew precisely where it was. The bike held its line perfectly; I aimed for the inside paint stripe and, as my knee-slider grazed the apex, I hamfistedly cracked hard on the throttle.
2007 Suzuki GSX-R750 Review
I had decided to ride the middleweight Suzuki Gixxer once again on the street to prove to myself that my first impression was correct: This machine is as close to the perfect sport bike as it is possible to get. Well, for now, anyway.

Now that CEOs will be held personally accountable for statements they make about their organizations, we can all expect to be held to higher standards of professional ethics. Some professions have formal codes of ethics, but most don't. What ethical principles guide you?
With the non-controversial topics out of the way, they moved on to what they all knew was the most difficult issue. Everyone felt the tension, though perhaps no one felt the pressure Trish did. She knew that whatever they announced publicly would affect the share price, and the critical factor would be her estimate of the delay on Metronome. Everyone in the room would feel the pain.
"On to Metronome," Jack pronounced. "Trish?"
A rabbit late for a
very important date
Here we go, she thought. The dates were bad news, but the estimates were Peter's, and Peter was the best. The dates were right. "As you all know, the news isn't good. The estimates are June 30th, best case, but possibly as late as November."
Silence. Warfield, as usual, spoke first. "That's unacceptable. What are your plans for replacing Peter?"
"I have no plans for replacing Peter, or anyone else," Trish replied. "They've all done a marvelous job with what we gave them, and it's up to us now to manage this."
In some organizations, Trish's recommendation is unusual. Rather than blaming someone for an organizational failure, Trish believes that the company must tell the public the hard truth. What would you have done?
Now that CEO's will be personally accountable for statements they make about their organizations, we can all expect to be held to higher standards of professional ethics. Some professions have codes of ethics, but most of us don't even have professional associations we could join, let alone formal codes of ethics to guide us.
When you doubt the propriety of an action or decision, what principles guide you? Whether or not you can turn to an association for ethical guidance, writing down a code of ethics for your job can help. Try it. Here are some principles to get you started.Unethical behavior

A friend recently bought a Blusens Touch 96 tablet as a Christmas present for her father. The specs are here. Short version: 9.7 inches, Android 4.1, Cortex A9 processor, 1 Gb. RAM.
Anyway, the tablet looked responsive and reasonably fast when tried in the store (opening apps, scrolling, etc.), but when he tried to connect to the WiFi network things started to go wrong. The tablet was incredibly slow when doing anything online: it took us about an hour and 3-4 timeouts just to create a Google account.
The simplest webpages take about 5 minutes or more to load. Meanwhile, and just as a test, I was trying to access the same pages with a laptop at my side, and there were no problems. All of this in the same room than the Wifi router, at less than 5 meters of distance.
We tried restarting the Wifi router, disabling autosync in the Google account (as per this post) and restarting the tablet, but nothing seemed to work. My friend is understandably miffed.
My question is: is this a "normal" experience with a cheap, unknown-brand Android tablet? I have to admit that I don't own a tablet myself and don't know much about this market. I knew not to expect too much from cheap chinese-knockoff style products, but even this seemed too much for me.

What do I do husband does not want to help with our baby, housework or get a real job?
We have a 5 month old, husband does nothing around the house or with the baby has no real job. I do all the laundry, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the baby all on my own he just sit and relaxes when i do make him watch our baby eaither our baby would cry the whole time and he just sits there or he would bring him back to me. We make a living by him selling what he buys for less and sells for more. He stays at home 95% of the time, so he has time for anything. But apparently what i do isnt enough he wants me to get a job i ask him who would stay with our baby and do everything around the house he says he will but i know our baby would be crying the whole time and nothing would ever get done. I cant make myself to leave our baby alone with my husband. What should i do and tell him?

Tell him he either needs to shape up or he needs to leave.posted 02/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
After the day was over he gave me a look that said he was sorry. And he started helping more/when i asked for help actually did it. Dividing chores/housework/ and working full time for Both of us wasn't working. So i quit my job and explained that my DD is a full time job, as was my full time job so i was working 24 hrs a day + without a break. If you don't push this baby on him and let him see what it is that he HAS to do, hes not going to see it. If he just doesn't care, go to your moms/his moms and just be gone for a while. My DH reverted back and I went to my parents house 3000 miles away for 3 months and when he asked me to come home and to see his DD he was on the brink of tears because he finally understood he wanted his wife and kid and that we couldn't just be furniture, we were people. That worked for me it may not be your route but its what made me and my DH's relationship finally work out.posted 02/07/2012 by xancientprincessxx
I had this same problem with my husband, I gave him our baby, sat there next to him and told him "I am not mommy for the next 24 hours, I'll let you know anything you need to know, but YOU are in charge of this kid, and if you try to put the kid on me and leave/not take care of it, then we will just go elsewhere and you wont have to see either of us" he tried to tell me i was being a brat and trying to take his kid but i just sat there and waited and he started to take care of the baby within a couple minutes, didn't know where diapers were so i directed him to where they were advised on how to check the diaper, what/how/when to feed the baby, what cries were what but i never held the baby during the whole day. He kept getting frustrated about it and when he would i would tell him "This, is a 24/7 job this doesn't stop, I am frustrated 2 because i have not only this baby, But YOU acting like one too." Then didn't respond/say anything again no fighting just that one simple sentenceposted 02/07/2012 by xancientprincessxx
Divorce and get child support. He'll get to see the baby as little as possible which is what he seems he wants. Why stay married if you cant agree how to raise your children? Either that or just be content with what he does offer. Just don't expect that he and things will change. I wish my husband helped out more with the kids and the housework, but i stay with him because he is a good provider and protector, and ultimitely i do love him, and when our kids are grown i do want to spend the rest of my life with him.posted 01/31/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Give him an ultimatum. Tell him that you are not his maid and you are not fine with him sitting around doing nothing. It took two to make your baby and it's going to take two to raise and take care of him. In the meanwhile, stop doing things for your husband. Don't do his laundry, don't cook his meals and when he says something about it, tell him that unlike your baby, he's not helpless and dependent on you to provide care for him and that he needs to man up.posted 01/01/2012 by FaerieQueenofSnark

Audubon Center
Night School
An astronomy class at the Trinity River Audubon Center introduces Dallasites to the stars above and the nocturnal animals below.
By Alexa Schirtzinger
On a clear but muggy evening in early April, two minivans pull into the Trinity River Audubon Center's graveled parking lot. Out of each hops a chattering group of fifth-grade Girl Scouts. As they skip toward the center with their leaders trailing behind, it's hard to tell whether they notice the sky, shot with pink and gold from the setting sun, or the bright gibbous moon hanging high above them.
In an education room with a sweeping view of the center's string of ponds, Zeshan Segal leads the girls and a couple of families with kids in a lively conversation about telescopes. It's the center's first astronomy class, and though he's nearing the end of a long day, Segal's energy doesn't flag. He quizzes his audience on constellations and kills time with educational games while two University of Texas at Arlington students set up a huge, shiny telescope on the deck outside. When they're done, the UTA students brief the kids on what they'll see tonight: Saturn, Ursa Major, Polaris, the Pleiades—and of course, the moon. Out on the deck under a darkening sky, the Girl Scouts turn suddenly silent while they wait their turn to stare through the powerful telescope at a pea-sized image of Saturn, complete with its swirling, peach-colored gases and perfect purplish rings.
Suddenly the deck lights come on, outshining the stars. Segal, ever resourceful, scares up several orange plastic flashlights and encourages everyone to follow him on a night hike along the center's winding trails. He stops once to teach them to spot wolf spiders (shine your flashlight at chin level, and look for their glinting eyes) and tells the story of reclaiming the toxic landfill that used to be here. It's only April, but Dallas is already steamy with the heat and humidity of a long Texas summer, and the mosquitoes are starting to emerge in force. At the far end of Great Egret Pond, Segal tells the class to stop and listen. There's a soft breath of wind, carrying the tinkle of champagne glasses across the water from the cocktail party in the Audubon center's main hall. Under the almost-deafening roar of crickets and cicadas, several bullfrogs croak out a low, steady bass line.
"You know why we listen to bullfrogs?" he asks in a hushed voice. Heads shake.
"They tell us how healthy this place is," Segal whispers, and the Girl Scouts at the front nod in quiet rapture. At the back of the group, two girls are still staring up at the sky, open-mouthed, searching for the Big Dipper. Across the moonlit pond, the Audubon center glows in the darkness like a huge, hope-filled bird, and somewhere in the distance, a killdeer's high, fine trill pierces the night.

Drew Barrymore loves being a hands-on mom, but is there any shame in having a little help? Opening up about motherhood, the newly minted mom of two told Red magazine she and husband Will Kopelman are doing it all by themselves.
"I am loving being a mom," the star, who was heavily pregnant with daughter Frankie at the time of the interview, shared. "Olive is a year and a half now so, when the new baby comes, they will be close together in age. I think, just get it done – it will be awesome!"
Reflecting on her own tumultuous childhood, the 39 year old went on to say, "My parents split up before I was born and my dad was just never capable of being a father. It's something I really accepted and became okay with early on. But it's shocking to me that someone can make that choice. As much as I accepted it with him, I could never accept it in a partner…for some people showing up is just not possible and that is incredibly frustrating. When you become a parent, and think about what kids need, it is very emotional."
"We spend every weekend together," Drew added, explaining they haven't hired any help for childcare. "We don't have a babysitter. It's just us. I can't wait to see how that's going to work out with the second one!"
A look at stars and celeb kids who've been seen out with help by their side:
I'm not surprised to hear Drew Barrymore say with pride they're doing it all themselves, because for a long time celebrities who appeared to pass their kids off to a nanny were widely criticized, but I don't know that going completely without help is exactly a badge of honor.
Like most things in life, wouldn't a happy medium be the best answer? I'd have taken on help without shame when I had my own two under age 2, if it had been an option. My own mom came over a handful of times the year my second born son cried and fussed incessantly just so I could sleep through the night once in a long while, and if I'd had the means to pay her to do it more often I would have!
Beyond just hiring help on a regular basis though, there shouldn't be any shame in leaving the kids with a babysitter for a date night once in a while. Right?
Is going without childcare help something to be proud of or brag about?

Ok thanks for the advice, I will try that.
I'm currently playing Call of Gods on server 8 and having trouble with a plundering issue. I have a player constantly plundering me, which isn't a problem, part of the game. The problem is I can't plunder him back. For over four days now his castle constantly shows he is constantly under siege. I have checked multiple times throughout a 24 hour period and it nevers changes. I have checked throughout my alliance and all responses have been negative. I feel there is a glitch or that player found a way to keep his castle in that state. If you can address this issue, I will provide his coordinates. Thank you

Russia Has Its Eyes on the Next House of Mouse
Building a Disneyland in the Kaliningrad Region will be a priority project, Inna Moreva, the press-secretary of the regional administration, told the paper.
"We think that tourism should grow fast in the Kaliningrad Region. What can we offer tourists? We need new modern interesting facilities, one of which may be an amusement park in the style of Disneyland, or Hansaland in Germany, or Legoland in Denmark, or Port Aventura in Spain," she said.
But, don't bust out the Mouse Ears just yet. Sure the potential project already has the support of President Dmitry Medvedev, but Disney doesn't seem to be quite on board yet.
According to The Orange County Register, Kaliningrad's regional governor Nikolai Tsukanov stressed that he proposed the idea of a Disneyland-style project only as an example of a large amusement park.
Perhaps a Hello Kitty park would suffice if they can't get Mickey's approval?
If a Disneyland were to be built in Russia, it would be the second on the continent. Disneyland Paris, formerly Euro Disney, opened outside the French capital in 1992.
Disney recently announced that work would begin on Shanghai Disney Resort, which will join Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disney in Asia.

Relaxation Response FAQ
Can the relaxation response "prevent" stress?
We can't really avoid or prevent stress in our daily lives. Regular elicitation of the relaxation response can help us build greater resiliency when facing stress-related ups and downs.
Do you recommend listening to CDs or just repeating a word or phrase to elicit the RR (relaxation response)?
Every patient receives a relaxation CD at the beginning of their program and most initially use the CD to relax. Over time, they may become more comfortable with a self-directed technique. We teach a number of ways to elicit the RR so that you may find one that works best for you.
Suppose I fall asleep during the RR?
If you fall asleep while eliciting the relaxation response, it is not harmful, but you should continue your practice for 5-10 minutes after you wake to receive its benefits. If you fall asleep after, be sure to choose a sitting posture so you do not sleep for an extended period. (The RR is quite effective in helping people with sleep difficulties unwind so you may also plan to practice it right before bedtime.)
What if I do not have 20 minutes a day to spare for the RR?
Although we recommend eliciting the RR twice a day for 15-20 minutes, any time that you can devote to this practice will beneficial to you. If you can, finding some time before breakfast is optimal, as you can set a positive tone and a foundation of awareness for the rest of the day.
