Nearly 3 million acres of farmland in three southern states have been inundated by flood waters from the Mighty Mississippi River and its smaller tributaries. Although economists say it's too early to tell how much damage is being inflicted, some estimate damages could go as high as $4 billion.
Agricultural losses in the state of Mississippi alone, including grain and catfish farms, could hit $800 million, according to the Mississippi Farm Bureau. President Obama on Wednesday declared a major portion of the Magnolia State a disaster area -- announcing federal aid to 14 counties.
The river is forecast to crest at Vicksburg late next week at 57.5 feet, surpassing the 1927 record by more than a foot. Most of the city sits on a steep bluff overlooking the river, safe from floodwaters.
But in the low-lying areas nearby, the Mighty Mississippi has flooded hundreds of homes, barns, and farm fields. Private sector and government engineers are working on floodwalls around vulnerable sections of the riverfront.
Major General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers is in charge of the Mississippi River from Canada to the Gulf.
Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: "This was designed after the 1927 flood. Legislation came in 1928 to put something like this in place. The nation invested $13 billion to put these reservoirs, floodways and levees into place and it was designed for this kind of flood. Hopefully it works. We never really expected to get this much water and certainly this is an epic amount of water. I just flew over Ohio and Missouri and there's water in places we've never seen it before."
Swollen by weeks of heavy rain and snowmelt, the Mississippi River has been breaking high-water records that have stood since the 1920s and '30s.
The crest is expected to reach New Orleans near the end of the month. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal told residents earlier this week they should hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Gov. Bobby Jindal, R – Louisiana: "We've all lived through Katrina. We've seen systems that were supposed to work that didn't. It's good to get ready for that. It's responsible to get ready for that."
For some good news, dry and warmer weather finally arrived in the Corn Belt, giving farmers the chance to plant. Although not optimal in all areas, better conditions allowed for long hours in the field. According to USDA's weekly crop progress report, 40 percent of the nation's corn has been planted. This compares to 80 percent one year ago.
Improving immensely since last week, sixty-nine percent of Iowa's corn acreage has been planted, behind last year's 92 percent but equal to the five-year average. This 61 percentage point single week increase for the nation's number one corn producer is the largest since 1992.
Only 7 percent of the nation's soybean crop has been planted, compared to 28 percent at this time last year.
U.S. winter wheat is struggling as well. In May of 2010, 66 percent of the crop was in good to excellent condition, but this year that number has been cut in half to only 33 percent.
Rice planting also is behind and farmers fear their crops could be destroyed by flooding from the Mississippi River. Only 54 percent of the rice crop has been planted, while 83 percent was in the field one year ago.

Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas was right out there, on the horizon.
So near, and yet so far.
The morning was plenty sunny. From my cabin's balcony, the temperature was plenty warm, too. But, as I've discovered on this trip (which started with a drive through the Florida Keys to Key West), there are other elements to consider when you want to get into, or on, the water.
At a little after 8 a.m., the captain made the announcement: Swells were too high, and the wind was too strong, for the MSC Divina's tenders to take passengers over to the island.
Since our safety came first, it was a no-go, for now. The crew would see how the situation developed.
By 10 a.m., it was still too rocky for the little tenders to take us to shore. The captain announced he was pulling the plug on the port visit.
I was glad for the caution. I'm sure at least most of my shipmates were, too. Better safe than …
Besides, this three-day cruise was as much about exploring the Divina and its activities as it was the ports of call on our itinerary — Cape Canaveral yesterday and Great Stirrup Cay today.
Besides, if there hadn't been some bad weather, we'd never have gotten to see a rainbow over the ocean, a distinct arc of color, diving right into — and out of — all that gray, choppy water.

Strictly for the kids; the gameplay is very simple and you start the game with only one hamster – of course, that's the essence of the game – get as many Zhu Zhus as you can pool together by unlocking more of them with as many games as you can win…then on to more items for the hamsters' home…and on and on. The good thing about these pet hamsters is they have a mind of their own and are quite independent little critters. They have the ability to eat, play and sleep. This is like the evolution of Tamagotchi of the old days, for the most part anyway; except that with the Zhu Zhus, there's no need for guess work – they will let you know exactly what they want or need in their own way; and how!
Cepia, the game's creators, do make some real effort at animating the Zhu Zhus. They may even have perfected it because they look so remarkably and realistically cute. The colors of several items may be too dull for some but all items are easily recognizable. The lack of colors may make one think it's a shame that the characters don't have the expected colorful appearance, but I would say it's forgivable.
The music of the game isn't bad either; in fact it's not really a big thing in the game as it only serves as background to the goings on to prevent the scenes from getting too uninteresting and boring. However, the voice that has been dubbed to relay the instructions is a huge distraction; it's much too "sugary" for comfort. The voice is in monotone that kind of gives the perception of talking down to the kids; thus, it hardly encourages the kids to enjoy the things to be done for and with their pets. The voice obviously doesn't have the expected genuineness.
The game is made so that kids can play it rather than cheat it or not finish it. The challenges of the game are so easy for adults but not so for kids, it lets them think well so that they can decide on what to do for their pets. The game gives a learning experience for the kids that does not get boring.
Although the process of unlocking more Zhu Zhus, rooms and other items are clearly explained with easy-to-understand instructions for the most part, there are challenges that are somewhat hard to follow as it involves hand and eye coordination for the kids, but this is definitely a welcome aspect, which the kids can learn and acquire in the game.
The lack of internet connectivity somewhat limits the game and is one opportunity that the game developers shouldn't have missed. The DS platform is known for its online compatibility and kids could have played online and shown off the things they have unlocked on the Zhu Zhu Perts website. The game can really promote friendship as kids share their respective pets with one another online.
In conclusion, let me assure you: The game is not just hype; it's for real. It's a wholesome game that can give fun and learning to the kids.

I am also 38 weeks. I haven't felt any contractions... a lot of pressure though. I was not dialated at all last week (but my cerfix was "soft" whatever the heck that means), which I thought was wierd bc I always hear about how women dialate way sooner than 38 weeks. My dr reassured me that this doesn't necessarily mean that I am going to go way overdue or anything. I wish that I knew what I was supposed to be feeling. I feel twinges of pain here and there.... are those contractions or just my body preparing?????posted 03/25/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

Fed says economy needs $600 billion bond-purchase program
Thursday, January 27, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) —The economy isn't growing fast enough to lower unemployment and still needs help from the Federal Reserve's $600 billion Treasury bond-purchase program.
That was the assessment Wednesday of Fed policymakers as they ended their first meeting of the year. The Fed made no changes to the program, and the decision was unanimous.
The decision came from a new lineup of voting members that includes two officials who have criticized the bond purchases. They have said the purchases could eventually ignite inflation or speculative buying in assets like stocks.
The bond-buying program is intended to lower rates on loans and boost stock prices, spurring more spending and invigorating the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke faces the challenge of trying to boost hiring and growth without creating new economic threats.
The tax-cut package that took effect this month is easing pressure on the Fed to stimulate growth through its bond purchases. The measure renewed income-tax cuts and cut workers' Social Security taxes, boosting their take-home pay.
The Fed's assessment of the economy was nearly identical to its last meeting in December. Fed policymakers seemed to downplay recent improvements in the economy including stronger spending by consumers and more production at factories.
Instead, the Fed noted that the economy continues to faces risks. The biggest: that high unemployment will damp consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of national economic activity.
Fed policymakers observed that the "economic recovery is continuing, though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about a significant improvement in labor market conditions."
One of the Fed's main reasons for launching the bond-buying program was to lower high unemployment, now at 9.4 percent.
The Fed noted a recent increase in the prices of commodities, such as oil and gasoline, but said it isn't likely to spark high inflation. The prospect that inflation will remain tame gives the Fed leeway to stick with its program, announced Nov. 3, to buy $600 billion worth of Treasury debt by the end of June.
On Wall Street, stocks were little changed after the Fed statement.
The Fed kept its pledge to hold a key interest rate at a record low near zero for an "extended period." The Fed has kept rates at ultra-low levels since December 2008 to try to encourage people and businesses to spend more.
In crafting its message on the economy, the Fed avoided sounding too optimistic, which might have led investors to think it would cut short its bond-buying program. But it didn't send a downbeat message, either.
"The Fed can't take anything granted at this point," said economist Brian Bethune at IHS Global Insight. "The economy has shown signs of strength before and then it fizzled."
The Fed's show of unity Wednesday could erode by spring. At its next meeting March 15 or the following one on April 26-27, the Fed will probably want to signal whether it will end the bond-purchase program on schedule or extend it. Any push to renew the program would likely face stiffer resistance.
Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, have spoken out against the program as a threat to trigger high inflation. Plosser and Fisher might even pressure Bernanke to scale back the program before June.
Fed policymakers said Wednesday they'll continue to monitor the bond-buying program. They have left open the option of buying more bonds if the economy weakens, or less if it strengthens.

Try this link.
The plans include a "lift" tray for the box so maybe you could adapt it to work with your box.
I have made it to the part of my jewelry box project where I am ready to install a jewelry tray. I would like to have one that uses a lift/support so that it lifts out with the lid. I bought the hinge that rockler sells (here", however it appears that this hinge is incompatible to my particular box for a few reasons. The lid on my box has a 1.5" tall lip as it were, such that there is a 1.5" recess "inside" the lid. I would like the jewelry tray to sit inside this recess when the box is closed, so that the complete depth of the box itself can be used for storage (if the jewelry tray was lowered back into the box, I would lose some of that space). Furthermore I would like to have the tray sit as far back inside the lid recess as possible when the box is open, allowing for most of the inside of the box to be seen. The reason for this is that the box is only about 5.5" deep (front to back), and 3.25" tall.
I have played around with different positions and orientations of the rockler hinge, but I just can't get it to accomplish these tasks. The tray support "shelf" either drops way to low to support the tray, or the top pin would need to float on the tray itself, allowing it to go from the top of the tray to the bottom of the tray, and maybe even a little forward to back... and even then I am not sure it would work, nevermind being very impractical. I have only seen one other tray lift method, and it was in a Jewelry Box book I saw at rockler. It involved two arms; however I cannot quite recall exactly how it worked, and I can't seem to apply to my case with any kind of success.
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
I hope this can be followed, perhaps even someone has faced this issue, if not, I will try to draw some kind of sketch or something... when I figure out how, ha. Thanks!

Many Greeks were merchants who sold and traded things from one place to another. They sold things all around the Meditarrean Sea. The ships often carried wine, wheat, olive oil, perfume, glass, cup, vases, jewelry, clothing, and metal tools. Greek merchant boat had sails instead of oarsmen's. During the heroic period the Greeks had three types of ships oared galleys and round ships with sails and trireme. Greek boats are important because in ancient Greece they didn't have that much food, plants or water. Because of the rocky lands, they have to trade for food. Most of the crops grown in Greece failed to grow before harvest season. They use merchant boats to trade for important recourse and things they don't hat they don't have at home. Each town has at least two merchant boats. Traditionally a seafaring nation, the Greek-owned merchant fleet totaled 3,338 ships in March 2005, 8.7% of the world merchant fleet and 16.5% of world tonnage. The Greeks got things from advanced cultures like Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and anything else on the cost of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Seas. Merchant ships were building with rectangular cloth sails. Navigating the ships was difficult. The Greeks had no compasses or charts. The Greeks use stars to guide them. No light houses warned sailors of dangerous coastlines inspite of these dangerous adventures. Sailors carried more and more goods. Back in ancient Greece ships were very significant there were the easiest ways to travel them gather food and transported it to different places and most significant they use them in big wars and battles. They have different ships for different jobs: one warships merchant ship etc… These merchant boats were important to us because the Greeks found out a new way to trade and import many different items, and a faster way to travel instead of using horses. Without the idea of trading and shipping the Greece and everyone who lives in it will sees to exist.

Gluing and Assembly Jigs and Helpers
Pipe-and-bar clamp blocks
These easy-to-make shop aids really simplify edge-gluing boards. The clamp blocks spread each clamp's pressure over a wider area and feature hardboard "outriggers" that keep the blocks in place while you position the clamps. They also prevent the clamp's pipe or bar from touching the panel's surface and creating a glue stain on your project.
The blocks without outriggers, called alignment blocks, bridge across the faces of mating boards, keeping their surfaces flush during assembly and as the glue dries. Cutouts prevent you from accidentally gluing the blocks to your workpieces.
To make a set of blocks go to the next slide
I've made and use these regularly. As an added help I find that adding a bit of double sticky tape to the clamp blocks where the pipe clamps make contact helps keep the clamp blocks from falling off during initial clamp positioning.1/27/2011 11:52:17 AM Report Abuse

Local financial and investment planner and business owner Bill Riley of Graham's own Riley Wealth Management on the Square has written a book to help hundreds save thousands.
The Fort Worth native not only has offices in Graham, Fort Worth and Colleyville. He and his wife, Marsha, now reside in Colleyville, and they have four grown children and four grandchildren.
They are currently looking for a family home in or around Graham.
In an effort to help everyday hard-working Americans properly invest their earnings, Riley has written the book, "Forty Years of Investor Mistakes," which was published June 2. The book is available on Amazon.com and at various book stores.
In his book, Riley offers tools to develop a lifelong income free of fear.
Riley has spent 40 years as a financial and retirement advisor, and in that time, he observed that usually institutional investors outperform individual investors while accepting less risk.
In his experience, Riley has seen his industry neglect the very people it purports to serve. He wrote this book to help everyday citizens avoid the mistakes that he often sees among people who are retired or preparing for retirement.
Riley says those mistakes can turn dreams into drudgery, as so many retirees learned so well in recent years as they watched their financial portfolios dwindle.
Riley first heard of Graham when he used to show horses as a child. Growing up on a ranch in Mansfield, he shared a love for horses and his family.
Riley never forgot Graham, and continued to show horses during cutting events for many summers until he became involved in financial planning at age 19, working for his father's investment company in Fort Worth.
After he graduated from TCU, Riley took a closer look into financial companies his father had purchased, performed financial analyses and reported back to the companies on how they could improve.
After his father died, Riley sold off some of the companies his dad purchased while keeping others.
Riley's knowledge and experience led him to work for larger companies before starting his own. Prior to co-founding Riley Wealth Management, LLC, he held management positions at Merrill Lynch, UBS, Raymond James, Paine Webber and J.C. Bradford. His degrees and designations included a master's degree in business administration, the Chartered Financial Consultant designation, the Chartered Life underwriter designation and the Wealth Management Specialist designation.
Because Riley didn't like how larger investment companies seemed to care more about the firm than the client, he decided to branch off and start his own business.
"About five years ago I said, 'I've had it,' and started my own investment firm. We are in an acquisition of buying smaller firms, and Graham was one of them," he said. "I've always been somewhat of an anti-big business (person) because if you're in management, you're not just a broker. You get to see a lot of things you're just not happy with."
Riley wanted to help his clients manage their money the right way instead of helping a firm look better.
Riley will autograph books at a book signing in Graham from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 10, at the Old Post Office Museum and Art Center.

A North Carolina man died on his birthday after authorities say he tumbled head first over an 8-foot-high balcony.
The Wilmington Star-News reported that the body of Lee Nam was found Friday morning by a passerby on the sidewalk outside his downtown home. Police say Nam fell off his porch in what a detective called a freak accident.
Friday was Nam's 45th birthday. A native of Liverpool, England, friends said Nam had lived in the United States for at least 15 years. He had worked as the head server at Caprice Bistro for more than a decade.
Restaurant owner Patricia Moity said she and her staff are devastated at the news. Nam is believed to have walked home from work Thursday evening after having a few drinks.

The New Master of Horror Movies
Contreras, Jaime Perales, Americas (English Edition)
Gwilermo! Enthusiastic gringos call out to Guillermo del Toro outside of the Directors Guild of America where he is receiving a New Yorker Film Festival award. Wearing a dark jacket, grey pants, and military boots, he is a lesson in simplicity next to the other stars who are stepping out of their limousines all gussied up in chinchilla coats and pearls and coming over to listen to his anecdotes.
Of average height and chubby, with blue eyes that peer out from behind thick glasses, del Toro looks a bit like a younger version of the controversial US director, Michael Moore. He is, in fact, always joking about his appearance: "Look, I can't really give you any advice, except, of course, on losing weight," he said once to a corpulent man who asked him innocently about his formulas for inventing fiction.
Del Toro also jokes about the tense border relationship between the United States and Mexico, commenting that he is legal in the US but that "nobody believes me." Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, he shot quickly to stardom and is now an icon of the film industry at age 44. His first work, Cronos (1993) won him a Cannes Film Festival award in France, and the next to the last one, El laberinto del fauno [Pan's Labyrinth] (2006) garnered three Oscars and the nomination for best foreign film. His other films include Mimic (1997), Blade II (2002), El espinazo del diablo [The Devil's Backbone] (2001), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). And that's not all, because soon he will be making The Hobbit (2010) and The Hobbit II (2011) in New Zealand. Both are movies from The Lord of the Rings series (2001-2003) written by J.J. Tolkien and taken to the screen by New Zealander Peter Jackson.
Del Toro has also been selected to film H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and a unique new take on Frankenstein. "It's a very particular version that develops an incidental chapter about the monster in Shelley's novel, but I can't say a lot about it right now. Though I do promise," he says to Americas magazine, laughing, "that Kenneth Branagh will not play Doctor Frankenstein." While most directors are wondering about what their future holds, del Toro is happy to say that he is gainfully employed through 2017.
Is making horror films his particular way of dealing with his own demons? Del Toro confesses that he has experienced the supernatural in the past, and that these experiences helped him create the fantasies that put him on solid ground in the difficult-to-penetrate film industry. "I saw a ghost when I was twelve," he says. "It was a sign from my uncle. (I was named Guillermo after him.) He introduced me to the world of ghosts and goblins. 'If I die before you,' he would say, 'I'll come back and tell you what it's like in the afterlife.' Well, he died before me, and one night when I was watching television, I heard his voice resounding all over the house and I knew for sure that it was my uncle."
Though he doesn't say what he talked about with his uncle that night, he does say that the event helped him to make sure that the creatures he makes for film have that same kind of supernatural consistency and porosity. The violence he experienced in life has also informed his film making. "When I was eleven years old, I accidentally saw someone die. I was in the street and I saw someone being shot. I also saw a decapitation and someone being burned alive. I think I have seen more cadavers in Mexico than people see working in the New York City morgue. I've just been exposed to these kinds of things and they have left their mark on my life as a director of horror movies."
Politics are also an important element in his work. El espinazo del diablo, for example, is a horror story immersed in the context of the Spanish Civil War. "I think that all politics is fantasy. I've always been fascinated with it. In film, you can choose a fable of some kind to shine light on an important element of politics instead of just making a movie. …

Most figures show rents going one way -- up
Renters beware and landlords rejoice: Monthly rents keep going up.
An analysis of higher-end apartments in the Baltimore region shows average effective rents -- what tenants actually pay after factoring in concessions -- are up by nearly 6 percent compared with the middle of last year. Separate reports also show significant gains.
The one type of rental that doesn't seem to be doing so well for owners? Houses.
The report on higher-end apartments by real estate information firm Delta Associates focuses on the so-called "Class A" category, newer complexes that come with amenities. Delta says the average effective rent for such apartments in the Baltimore metro area is about $1,450 a month, up 5.7 percent from a year ago.
Here's the breakdown by area:

While Skulduggery Street was a musical story, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is a collection of some of the best tunes we've come up with over the three years since. Boasting Kyf, Swanny & Eric's continual writing maturity, the songs intertwine nicely as each musician extends his musical finesse to new stringed things. The covers we chose - from ex NYC cop John Rafferty's fist-pumping tribute to The Monkees' gem to the Gillian Welch adapted traditional - were chosen from past jams, discoveries and experimentations during our rehearsals and long journeys to you. Recorded at Kyf's old farmhouse and mixed by old friend & mainstay Cliff Hillis, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is more of the same quality stuff we've always given you - only better!

Two Cheers for China's Climate Obstruction
Bjorn Lomborg, Korea Times
AP Photo
Since the Copenhagen climate summit's failure, many politicians and pundits have pointed the finger at China's leaders for blocking a binding, global carbon-mitigation treaty. But the Chinese government's resistance was both understandable and inevitable. Rather than mustering indignation, decision-makers would do well to use this as a wakeup call: it is time to consider a smarter climate policy. China is unwilling to do anything that might curtail the economic growth that has enabled millions of Chinese to clamber out of poverty. This development can be seen in the ever-expanding Chinese domestic market. In the next six months, one-quarter of young Chinese consumers intend to buy new cars "� the main source of urban air pollution "� up an astonishing 65 percent from a year...

April Pregnancy
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 11:55 AM EDTLissa - I'm 31 weeks so looks like I'm right on schedule. I will add in a few extra pillows and see if that helps. If I need to give in and sleep on the couch I will but it's going to be tough not being next to DH. He offered to sleep on the floor next to the couch last night which was just the most adorable thing. He also suggested that we could go sleep in our guest bed and see if that helps. The guest bed is a full so I'm not sure both of us in that bed would be more comfortable but it was sweet of him to offer.

Liz, thinking of you and hoping you will check in and give us an update on how you are feeling!!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 12:24 PM EDTCLC - I am 31 wks as well and having the same issue. I am sleeping on about 4 pillows now to prop myself up as I feel more comfy in an angle rather than right on my back or side. My dh says it is creepy as he feels like he is sleeping next to someone who is sitting up.
As for the sheets/mattress pad - yes have at least one extra mattress pad but I have a son and only had to do the quick sheet change 2x and both for getting sick...but once he threw up once I laid down layers of towels and would remove a layer everytime he got sick. The towels cover way more and are much easier to remove.
As for me going into week 31 and here is hoping all my doctors appts go well. I ended up out on high blood pressure about 3 weeks early last time and I am so nervous that is going to happen again. I really dont want to do that. I am also having pretty bad pregnancy incontinance and that only occurred post baby last time so this is not fun. Finally still not having fun with the matrimonial activities have tried a few different positions and just not doing it for me. I feel so bad for dh he is trying not to be hurt by it but it is such a blow to a man's ego.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 12:38 PM EDTIn Response to Re: April Pregnancy:Just wanted to post about the sheets discussion. I would definitely have 2 mattress pads on hand, plus several fitted sheets. This weekend my 17 mth threw up so much that it went through fitted AND mattress pad. Yes, mattress is plastic coated so just needed a quick wipe down thank goodness. But it was 11pm so I needed to remake the bed immediately. I did not have an extra mattress pad so had to use just the fitted sheet...and on top of plastic, well, DS sweated ridiculously. (BTW, if they use a binky, have an extra, same with blanket and/or lovey if possible. Everything was covered and needed to go in the wash and he took the backup binky and lovey like a champ!) As for changing the mattresses. It is by no means a picnic, and probably could easily break a nail, but it's not too bad and you'll get the hang of it pretty quick. I wanted DS back in bed ASAP and I did the whole remake in about a minute. That ultimate sheet is probably nice, but not a necessity. The biggest trick for me is just taking the whole mattress out and perching diagonal across the crib. It's super light weight and then just pull those sheets with all your might :-)
Posted by IPWBride
Yes, yes, yes to this whole post! I love how you describe the changing of the sheet - everytime I do it I curse how to position it in order to get the sheet on most effectively, and am always sure I'm going to break a nail. :) And I never thought about the higher liklihood of the baby sweating without the mattress pad. I need to invest in a 2nd one.
Just an aside, something I recently found out: DD chose a blanket as her favorite from among the slew of baby blankets we have had since she was born. The one she decided was "her" blanket is one I got for my baby shower. Well, I finally thought it was time to get a second one and looked it up online. $50!! I really hope the person who gave it to us did not pay that much! Now I'm thinking of cutting it in half and adding satin to the cut ends. Presto, 2 blankets.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 12:41 PM EDTCLC, I can't remember exactly how the mini Snoogle works, but have you tried also putting a pillow behind your back? (Yes, I know, it makes for lots of pillows) That helped me a lot during my first pregnancy. So, how I did it was: pillow between my knees, pillow under my belly, pillow behind my back, so I was sort of propped up on my left or right side.

Posted by poppy609
Poppy, that's a great idea! My mom did that when I was little, except it was big enough to be made into four. I stlll have 3 pieces. :)
I have never seen that ultimate crib sheet before, but that would have been great for us when DD was little because she spit up so much in her crib. But if you don't have a spitter, not needed.
It took me forever to realize that lifting out the whole mattress was the way to go for changing sheets!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 1:41 PM EDTJust checking in on Liz...I was thinking about you this weekend! I spoke to an old friend over the weekend - someone I haven't talked to on the phone in at least a year - and we were catching up on babies, etc. I mentioned my ultrasound and that I'm 19 weeks and she reminded me that when she was pregnant with her first, right around this time was when she got SEVERE anxiety, and ended up back on meds. She never had any PPD, since she was already in good care and on meds, and the anxiety, off meds, didn't repeat with #2.
There is definitely light at the end of the tunnerl! Hope you're feeling like you're on the road to feeling better.
AFM...had OB app't this morning and am going to see a perinatologist next week for a consult. Since I had an elevated BP and low amniotic fluid last time, they suggested the consult to see if there's anything we can do to ensure that doesn't happen again. They said it's about a 30 minute consult...and that other care would probably include an extra ultrasound at 28 weeks and 34 weeks, just to make sure things are still good. Anyone else have experience with this to allay my anxiety? I'm still not classified as high-risk, but it does make me feel like I am a bit!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 3:04 PM EDTThanks, guys :) I am doing a little better. I have been back on 50mg of Zoloft for about a week now and tomorrow night I have an appointment with a therapist who is an expert in this.

Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/9/2012 4:11 PM EDTAs far as the sleeping goes, I can't commiserate with the aches and pains since (knock on wood!) I've been ok in that department so far minus my one major back spasm. At 30 weeks sleeping is only a little uncomfortable. My issue is that I still find myself waking up on my back, despite sleeping with the BIG snoogle and 2 pillows under my head to be propped up a bit. I find that when I wake up like this, my abdominal muscles hurt, which I know probably isn't good, but I literally can't think of anything else I can do to prevent myself from rolling over. My major sleep complaint is my near constant stuffy nose which causes me to mouth-breathe all night, resulting in dry mouth/nose/throat and sometimes a sore throat in the AM.
Anyways I guess the point of that is don't waste money on a full size snoogle, it hasn't stopped my back-sleeping.
For those with leg cramps, my prenatal yoga instructor has us to LOTS of leg stretches and says it keeps the cramps away. Things like sitting on the floor with your legs out straight and reaching for your toes, or standing facing a wall with your hands against the wall and alternate stretching your calf muscles out behind you...hard to describe but it really helps, I've only had like 2 muscle cramps so far.

Luv, you said your friend took meds during her second half of her pregnancy? Is her baby healthy? I can't help but worry a little about taking an SSRI during pregnancy. I try not to google anything because it's a lot of negative mixed with positive. Although one thing that is said time and time again is that it is potentially more harmful to baby with depressive symptoms than being on an SSRI.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 8:34 AM EDTLiz, one more week 'til it kicks in. You're 1/2 way there - like you say, one day at a time. The studies must not show a link between SSRIs during pregnancy and problems with the baby or they wouldn't be approved for pregnancy.

I took Zoloft throughout my whole pregnancy. I know it's a really hard decision.
To sum up everything I ever googled, there are a couple of problems that seem to have slightly higher risks if you use an SSRI. BUT, the overall chance of problems is still very, very low.
So. No doctor is ever going to tell you anything is totally okay, because that's just how they roll. However, a doctor who is understanding and up to date will tell you what you already read: depression and anxiety are probably worse for you and the baby than the medication is. My OB and our pediatrician were always really supportive about this and they also said it's extremely common (that helped alleviate some of the little last bit of guilt I had!)
I'll be thinking of you and your appointment. You are already a great mom for facing up to your difficulties and taking action right away.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 9:37 AM EDTLiz, she did...she had a rough pregnancy all around...terrible morning sickness, then as soon as that subsided, got terrible anxiety. From what I remember, the potential side effects of untreated depression/anxiety (weight loss, lack of appetite, too much or too little sleep, etc) are potentially much worse for baby than the meds. Also, looking to when baby comes, there are studies about how depression in parents can effect children...I went to testimony at the state house two years ago about the Postpartum Depression Screening/AWareness bill (trying to mandate screening for new moms by both OBs and pediatricians, as well as do a huge PSA campaign) and watched one video from a researcher at Children's, which showed that in as little as 2 minutes, a baby can be effected by a parent with no affect/emotion. Scary, but more evidence about how important it is to be treated and treated early!
What's especially incredible to me is that 35 years ago, when I was born, they didn't even have a name for this...it was brushed under the rug and not validated in women at all. Now we're so much more fortunate in that we can talk about depression/anxiety openly, and see that there are biological reasons for this, it's not just "women's stuff". There are also a spectrum of perinatal and postpartum anxiety/depressive disorders...so they're not just trying to fit one diagnosis to everyone.
Sorry! I get a little soapbox-y about PPD and women's mental health...spent my whole life surrounded by my mom's work in this field. Sometimes I feel like I know more about it than some physicians (which I probably do!!), and now that I have been through pregnancy and postpartum, as well as have friends who have gone through it, it's even more important to me that we stand up for ourselves and take care of ourselves and our kids.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 9:41 AM EDTAlso, another reason I'm glad you're going to see someone who specializes in this...there's lots of good research out there, lots of good outcomes, and lots of positive stories...but there are also a lot of people who aren't women's mental health specialists who prescribe anti-anxiety and anti-depressive meds.
To me, I want a psychiatrist/psychiatric nurse who sees this every day to prescribe these to me, not an OB or PCP, or even a general practice psychiatrist. It's a very specialized field. Kind of like I wouldn't want my OB doing heart surgery on me...one doctor doesn't fit all!
(sorry...more soapboxing...again, have been around this my whole life, so it always amazes me that people don't show the same respect to their brains that they do their lungs or heart!)
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 10:08 AM EDTLuv, soapbox away! I have done SO much research on this all to prevent PPD. I know I may not be able to 100% prevent it, but I am doing everything I can do be happier and and less anxious in this pregnancy. The psychiatrist I am seeing tonight (can't wait), told me over the phone that Zoloft is one of the SSRI's that has been studied most and she has had patients on it for over 15 years with wonderful results.
I think what upsets me the most are the women who suffer in silence. I know some people aren't like myself, where if and when I have any sort of issues, mental or physical, I put my shyness and sometimes embarrassment aside in order for me to get help. In fact, everyone in my OB's office was really impressed with my actions and said that by taking action now, I am preventing months of what could be severe anxiety/depression.
I won't lie, the mornings are still a little hard. I have to force myself to eat sometimes and get geared up for the drive to work. But once I am there and settled, I seem to be ok. I also have a really hard time being away from DH right now, but he is an amazing support system and always a phone call away. I called him this morning on the way to work when I was feeling sort of panicky, and he really helped me get in tune with my emotions.
The funny thing is, I have never met anyone (in person) who has dealt with this before, or at least they are not admitting to it. Most of my friends rave about their pregnancies, but whose to know who really had problems and who didn't.
Again, thank you for all of the support on these boards. I feel like I am sort of taking over, and I definitely don't want to do that! But the outpouring of support and love is really helping me. I also want to thank you all for not judging or pouring your opinions out about medication and pregnancy, because there is a lot of judgement and opinions out there!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 10:25 AM EDTGiven the rate of anxiety and depression in the general population, it must be prevelant in pregnancy, liz. But, pregnant women especially fear being judged harshly as parents before the baby even comes for so many reasons. You are to be commended for speaking up, getting professional help, and friend/family support. Not only did you risk judgment and misunderstanding, you broke through the vise grip of anxiety to do it.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 11:09 AM EDTLiz - good luck with tonight's appointment. I hope you get the support that you need. One thing that stuck out to me from your last post was mentioning that you have trouble getting yourself geared up to go to work in the morning. I believe a few months ago that you said that you weren't very happy in your job. Could this be a contributing factor in your anxiety? Unlike Luv, I've done no research so I'm just throwing that out there because I thought I remembered you posting about it before. Again, I really hope for the best for you. I think you're doing an amazing thing by recognizing that you need help and making sure that you're getting the best care for your and your baby girl.
Summer - as for breathing issues, have you tried nasal strips? My OB recommended them because of all of the fluid in my ears. They seem to work great for me. I now have myself convinced I can't sleep without them!
AFM - thanks for all of the recommendations yesterday. Last night I added another pillow so I was really propped up and I slept great. I'm not sure if it was due to the extra pillow or because I was so exhausted but I hope it continues!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 12:33 PM EDTLiz - so glad you are seeing that dr tonight, and glad you are feeling better about your decisions! I hope that very soon you're saying that you feel GREAT!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 3:52 PM EDTclc- DH and I bought some breathe-right strips, for a combo of his snoring and my stuffiness...he used them once and that was it. I haven't tried them, but maybe I really should...
Liz- good luck at the appt tonight. I suffer from anxiety too and know how difficult it is, so I hope that the person you see can help you to feel better very soon.
AFM, I just got my dvd and book copies of Happiest Baby on the Block! Can't wait to start reading it...it was very highly recommended at DH's "daddy boot camp" class, and gets great reviews on Amazon...DH says we need to watch/read it a few times before the baby arrives. That's the one thing he's insisted on so far during the entire pregnancy...go figure
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 4:23 PM EDTSummer - the breathe-right strips worked well for me, but I will warn you: one time I pressed one on too hard and the next day my nose was all bruised! Embarassing! So be careful. :)
Happiest Baby on the Block saved us the first 3 months.
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 4:35 PM EDTLooks like I'm pulling out my copy of Happiest Baby when I get home. I bought all of the books commonly mentioned on here in an effort to be ahead of the game and read them all before the baby's born but I still haven't cracked any of them. With only 9 weeks left to go I might want to get on that!
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 5:10 PM EDT
Hi ladies,
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of updates...but liz, I'm so glad you're getting the support you need, and I hope tonight's appointment goes well. You are definitely a great mom to be taking care of this now.
Poppy - congrats on the house! Very exciting.
To those with leg cramps - my understanding is that they're also related to dehydration. Maybe it would help to chug a glass of water before bedtime? (I know, more peeing...but I've had those cramps only twice and they were terrible!!).
Re: Happiest Baby on the Block - I've heard this is amazing, but a friend told me you can get away with looking up videos on Youtube, so I haven't bought the book/DVD. Does that sound right? I haven't searched for the videos yet. Wondering if I should maybe pull the trigger and just order it from Amazon.
So I am 40 weeks today - can't believe it! After a very healthy and uneventful pregnancy, my doctor's appointment yesterday was a little stressful. My BP was elevated, so I had a non-stress test, urine test, and bloodwork. Everything was fine except for some protein in my urine, so I'm now on modified bed rest and am going back tomorrow for more testing (another non-stress, biophysical profile, etc). The doc wants the baby to be born sooner rather than later - I'm hoping to avoid induction if possible.
Question for you ladies - my in-laws and BIL/SIL, who live out of town, all want to come visit/stay with us this weekend. At this point it seems somewhat likely that we'll have a baby at that point, but who knows. We might still be at the hospital, or we might be home with the little guy by then. I adore the in-laws, but the thought of all 4 of them staying with us in our little house, plus my parents and others wanting to be around, is overwhelming me. I couldn't deny them the chance to meet their first grandson right away, and I know they'll help however they can - but I just haven't been in this situation before and can imagine that between sleep deprivation, physical recovery, figuring out nursing, and sharing one bathroom among 6-8 people, this could be...interesting. What would you do?
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 5:20 PM EDTTang - congrats on making it to 40 weeks! Perhaps you should start looking up all of the techniques to jump start labor so you can avoid an induction.
As for your inlaws and BIL/SIL, I personally would be more comfortable with them staying somewhere else. I actually already skirted this issue with my ILs because I know they live 4 hours away and will need a place to stay so my mom has invited them to stay with them for a few days after the baby is born. Do you have anyone in the area that would be willing to house them for you? Otherwise I would recommend they get a hotel. Just my two cents :)
Re: April Pregnancy
posted at 4/10/2012 5:28 PM EDTTang - definitely suggest they get a hotel. You need to feel comfortable in your house the first few nights home with your new baby and having house guests is stressful even in the best circumstances. I'd just send them an email including a link to a few local hotels and say something like: "I'm sure you'd feel more comfortable sleeping somewhere where you are guaranteed a full nights sleep, here's a link to some great hotels! We can't wait for you to meet our new baby!!".

Yes it is. As long as breaking it gives you the dose you need it is indeed the same thing as taking the 75 by breaking it in half.posted 06/25/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Failed Studies Provide Clues in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Published Online: Monday, December 23, 2013
Brian Rini, MD
The first of the studies, labeled INTORACT, compared first-line temsirolimus plus the VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab to the combination of interferon alfa (IFN) plus bevacizumab for patients with mRCC. In this analysis, both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were similar between the two arms, with more severe adverse events seen with the temsirolimus combination.
"I think what we learned in this trial is that—at least with our present agents—combinations aren't really a path forward; they may be with novel agents—and it needs to be explored—but of our current agents, their FDA approved use—and how they should be used—is as monotherapy," the study's lead investigator, Brian I. Rini, MD, a professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve in Ohio, said in discussing the trial's results during a recent OncLive Peer Exchange roundtable entitled "Clinical Developments in Renal Cell Carcinoma."
In the open-label phase III study, 791 patients with previously untreated, predominantly clear-cell mRCC were evenly randomized to receive bevacizumab at 10 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks plus either temsirolimus (25 mg IV, weekly) or IFN (9 MIU subcutaneously, 3 times weekly). Patients in the trial were stratified prior to receiving nephrectomy. Altogether, 400 patients were treated with temsirolimus plus bevacizumab compared with 391 for IFN plus bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was independently assessed PFS.
The median PFS for patients receiving the temsirolimus combination was 9.1 months compared with 9.3 months with the IFN combination (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.1; 95% CI, 0.9-1.3; P = .8). Moreover, OS was 25.8 months versus 25.5 months (HR = 1.0; P = .6) and objective response rate was 27.0% compared with 27.4%, for temsirolimus plus bevacizumab and IFN plus bevacizumab, respectively.
The most common grade ≥3 adverse events associated with the VEGF plus mTOR combination were mucosal inflammation, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia. In general, higher-grade adverse events were more common in the temsirolimus arm of the trial (P <.001).
Bevacizumab plus IFN is a currently approved option for the frontline treatment of patients with mRCC. Despite this, the combination is used less commonly in the frontline setting than other VEGF agents, such as sunitinib. The underuse for the combination is generally attributed to IFN and the inconvenience of the administration route.
"The role of interferons is a whole other question," Rini noted during the Peer Exchange. "I think it probably adds something in terms of benefit but it also adds a lot of toxicity. I tend—if I'm going to use interferon—to start at lower doses and get rid of it pretty quickly, and I think that's been the compromise for many of the investigators and many of the doctors using it."
Second-Line Temsirolimus Fails to ImpressIn addition to the study examining the combination, temsirolimus was compared with the VEGF inhibitor sorafenib as a second-line therapy in mRCC. Overall, this analysis did not reveal a significant advantage in the primary endpoint of PFS for temsirolimus; moreover, the secondary endpoint of OS favored the comparator, sorafenib.
The data for the secondary endpoint of OS were surprising, said the lead author, Thomas E. Hutson, DO, PharmD, a professor of Medicine at Texas A&M Health Science Center in Dallas, during the Peer Exchange. "We saw a statistically significant advantage in favor of the VEGF inhibitor, sorafenib," said Hutson. "[This advantage was] highly statistically significant, fraught with a lot of interpretation, potential biases but, nonetheless, a 4.5 month difference in overall survival. That's hard to just completely discount."
In the phase III trial, labeled INTORSECT, 512 patients with mRCC were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either temsirolimus (n = 259) or sorafenib (n = 253) following prior treatment with sunitinib. Treatment with temsirolimus was delivered intravenously at 25 mg once weekly and sorafenib was dosed orally at 400 mg twice daily. In general, approximately 98% of patients were ECOG performance status 0 to 1, 80% of patients had clear-cell histology, and 86% to 87% of patients in each arm had undergone nephrectomy.

For Emergency Response Dial 9-1-1
To Report a Non-Emergency Crime Dial 456-2233
On Saturday night, February 2, 2013, at 9:00 p.m., Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputy L. Petersen responded to Hooters, located at 16208 E. Indiana, on a stabbing call.
Deputy Petersen contacted the adult male victim inside the casino. The victim told Deputy Petersen he saw an old acquaintance at the casino. The victim said his old friend asked him to go outside, which the victim thought was to work out issues from their past.
The victim told Deputy Petersen the suspect pulled a folding knife out of his front pocket and stood in a threatening manner. Thinking the suspect was going to stab him, the victim struck the suspect in the face one time. The suspect attacked the victim and
stabbed him at least four times before the victim could get away.
Deputies were able to view surveillance of the incident and the events the victim described were verified. The victim's injuries were non-life threatening and deputies have suspect information. The investigation is ongoing.

Hillsboro, MO (KSDK) - A Jefferson County man who previously worked as a school janitor before being charged with raping an elementary school age girl has been given permission to visit his grandmother, provided he wears an ankle monitoring bracelet during the visits.
A judge agreed to allow Burgess the visits for a four hour period every two weeks with the times to be approved, prior to him going. No information was provided on Burgess' request to visit the grandmother.
Judge Nathan Stewart also gave Burgess allowance to seek employment, but also mandated it be done while he's monitored electronically prior to going on job interviews.
Michael Burgess; 47 of Festus, is accused of statutory rape and sodomy after the victim told her parents about two incidents alleged to have taken place last year at Burgess' home.
Investigators say Burgess has known the victim and the family for many years prior to the incidents.
Burgess was suspended from his job as a janitor in the Festus School District after the criminal case was filed against him last December.

Looking at the Sophos instructions I found them useless. The Registry key for disabling the end of use warning was completely wrong. I found the simple way to correct this prior to changing my console version was to create a Reg file and import this via the users login script.In your login script add the text below:REM #####################Sophos Settinngs###regedit.exe /s "\\servername\netlogon\sophos.reg"Then create a file called "sophos.reg" using the text below and save it to your netlogon folder.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sophos\SAVService\Application]"DisableEndOfLifeMessaging"=dword:00000001

Maison Martin Margiela
03 Jul. 2012
CASUAL ATTITUDE IN PARISThe Paris menswear fashion week went cool and sporty for the spring/summer 2013 season and came to a close yesterday evening after five well-charged days with a theatrical show from Thom Browne, who showed his collection in a garden atmosphere. The collection itself was about tailoring and was made up of different checkered fabrics with couture finishes. Riccardo Tisci also showed a sophisticated collection that played with luxury materials such as silk organza, printed jacquards with silk layers and exclusive prints on shirts and suits featuring an image of Jesus and the Madonna.
Sportswear and technical fabrics for athletic-wear were a big theme for next summer. Louis Vuitton, which will celebrate ten years of partnership with the America's Cup next summer, designed its whole collection around sailing and watersports. Even the avant-garde designer Rick Owens showed sporty rain coats while Issey Miyake put his models on bicycles and Viktor & Rolf paired sneakers with classic suits and tuxedos. Kris van Assche took the elastic waistband concept from jogging pants and transferred it to urban trousers with a clean collection that showed a multitude of tops and trousers in pure white, an abundance of which was also seen at 3.1. Phillip Lim, Maison Martin Margiela, Damir Doma, Lanvin and Boris Bidjan Saberi.

Suits followed the casual movements of the season, with pants in looser fits and jackets without linings. Rick Owens, Hermès, Christian Dior and Walter van Beirendonck chose translucent materials to underline their tailoring, which was followed by layered looks that were present at nearly every collection in Paris.
