Ok ladies! Continue on!!! also leave you with this to laugh at!
Also hoping to be in and out of the hospital... last time I was there for 4 days due to the complications and transfusions. But this time if everything is going alright, I would like to leave ASAP... Thinking that the sooner I get home and settled the better off I will feel. However, probably won't be able to go until at least the afternoon/evening after birth due to having baby circ'd. Fingers crossed that all goes well this time around - I hate being in the hospital - can't get comfortable, can't sleep, so many people in and out all the time, drives me nuts!
I need to start making a list of things that need to be packed as we are leaving, mostly toiletries and of course my pillow! I plan to purchase special comfy PJ's and socks for the hospital stay this time around. Our hospital is so drafty in the winter time!!

Oh ya....my own pillow is a must & comfy jammies/clothing!! I always think I want to take my robe, but I start to think about how much room it would take up in my bag & I refuse to take it! LOL!! I'm a minimalist. If I could fit all I need into my purse in order to avoid having to lug up a suitcase, I totally would! LOL!!I
I have sat down for a few minutes & Baby Girl is doing her stretching. Some of them are so painful & feel like I need to lay flat just to give her more room!! I swear some of them feel like she could totally rip open my uterus/break my water!! She is still head down (yay), but today her little bootie is at my right rib cage & feels like her head is cocked a little to the left, so when she moves, it's like her head is right where my left leg bends at the hip.....so weird! I feel myself really chomping at the bit to have her today. I absolutely adore being pregnant (& appreciate the ability to be). Even all the complaints, I've been trying to appreciate each stage because this could very well be our last one. In the same breath, I am so ready to meet this little girl!! My excitement has grown exponentially & just makes me want to get our hospital bag packed, put the car seat in the car & just finish up all the little last minute stuff!
Reality check: Still have to get other To-Do list done!! I.E. Christmas shopping, birthday shopping, Christmas decorating....AAAAAHHHH....so much to do!!!
Maybe if I kept myself more busy I wouldn't be stressing myself out over this crap on a daily basis??!! LOL!!!!

My work blocked FB....aaaahhhh!!!!! So, limited communication from me during work hours.
Question: my OB/hospital won't discharge baby until after 30 hours of age? Anyone else experience this????
Blessed with an amazing DH and 6 wonderful kids!
Ours is either mandatory 24 or 48 hours. I can't remember! I know I've given birth at noon and 4 on one day, been there the whole next day and discharged the next. So I guess it's 24 hours.

Ours is only a mandatory 24 hours, however they encourage longer (48hr) stays, for healthy, no complication vaginal births and mandatory 72hrs for c/s. With my last of course we ended up being there for a bit longer due to complications and with my first I stayed for the full 48hrs being a FTM. But this time around I am out the door as soon as I get the go ahead!

Most are 24 hours for uncomplicated vaginal births & 72 for c-sects. Obviously it also depends on how Baby is doing too. For boys, they may want to extend that if you have him circ'd.
With my 2nd, it went so quick & smooth we were walking out the doors literally at the 24 hr mark. I'm really praying that's what happens this time around. I would rather recover at home in my own bed without an hourly interruption from the nurses.

I am with you Amie... I want to be at home as soon as possible. I feel like people are more inclined to visit while I am in the hospital than they are when I am at home. So the sooner I can get home and get away from everyone, LOL, the better off I will be.
Praying that we all have speedy and healthy labors, deliveries, and recoveries. Are any of us having a scheduled c/s??

Carotid Artery Problems: Stroke
The carotid arteries are large blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. When these arteries are healthy, the brain gets all the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function well. If the carotid arteries are damaged, however, it can greatly increase your chances of stroke. This is a sudden loss of brain function caused by a lack of blood flow and oxygen.
How artery damage can lead to stroke
In a healthy carotid artery, the inside of the artery wall is smooth and open. But health problems such as high blood pressure can damage the artery wall and make it rough. This allows fatty deposits called plaque to build up in the artery wall. Blood clots called emboli may also form on the plaque. If pieces of plaque or emboli break off, they can flow in the blood until they get stuck in a small blood vessel in the brain. This blocks blood flow to a part of the brain causing a stroke.
Symptoms of stroke
Below are common symptoms of stroke. Call 911 right away if you have any of these symptoms. Prompt medical treatment for a stroke is vital. The longer you wait to get help, the more damage a stroke can do.
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on 1 side of the body
Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
A transient ischemic attack or TIAis a ministroke. It's a serious warning sign of a larger stroke. TIAs happen when an artery to the brain is temporarily blocked. This blockage will cause symptoms identical to those that happen with stroke. The only difference is that they last a short period of time, from a few seconds to a few hours. Never ignore any stroke symptoms. Call 911 right away.

No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle is back and this time Travis Touchdown is ready to return with ranked assassin battles. He humbly walked away last year after being at the #1 spot a couple years ago. After that Santa Destroy and the others that call it home have went through a great deal of changes. It is more than just getting into the number one spot again and this time Travis is out for blood.
It almost seems like the same game as No More Heros. You will not have any control over the camera and are going to have to roll with the punches, the core game plays actually like its' previous game did. Don't get me wrong because you are going to want to play this game until you beat it though, one of the few games with lots of style. Just when you think something shouldn't happen it does.
I love this game because of the fact that you can rip through the city with a badass bike and do crazy donuts at intersections, but more importantly everything is streamlined, as you can just go out of your apartment and find what you are searching for. There are some small load times, but not as many as there were in the previous release of this game.
The city seems to be EXACTLY the same game, same coconut mini-game and everything. You don't have to worry if you mess up in a mission anymore now you can use the menu to travel. Believe me if you hated the cash system before you are going to be crazy about it now. You can now enter ranked missions for free. The cut scenes are amazing and you would have to be out of your mind to skip over them.
This game does pack a lot of customization and personality. Like the previous release of No More Heros you are going to get all that and more. The mini-games are freakin awesome. They are old school and there is nothing better than old school games for me and my mate! This game just seems to have a lot of style and they really strive to be unique. I guess it was a big risk in the first game, but since it was so successful why not do it again!

3-1-05 - A man who escaped from an arraignment at the Fannin County courthouse didn't stay free for long. Authorities captured Teddy Demtrius Ellis Tuesday night, just a few hours after he managed to slip out of the courthouse.
Ellis was being arraigned on a robbery charge, but while he was in the restroom, he managed to cut his leg restraints, which allowed him to escape. Minutes later, authorities found his jumpsuit about a block away.
Law enforcement finally caught up to Ellis at a Bonham home, after a family called 911.

Moscow Pride Organizers Jubilant
Jim Burroway
June 2nd, 2008
Organizers of yesterday's Moscow Pride events consider yesterday's actions a tremendous success. Throughout the day, they were able to stage two highly visible demonstrations garnering local and international media attention while eluding police. Police had tried to preemptively detain Moscow Pride organizer Nickolai Alekseev earlier that morning, but he was able to get away.
No one was hurt during the events, but five activists were ultimately detained. One was briefly held but let go, while the four who unfurled the banner from an apartment across from Moscow City Hall were released by the court the following Monday morning.
With the release of those four activists, Alekseev declared the event over and hailed the event a success:
"Our people showed that we are not only a force for gays but a political force and won't compromise on our rights," he told AFP.
Alekseev elaborated further in an email:
"No human rights group or opposition [has] ever humiliated the Moscow authorities so much.
We wanted to defy the Mayor in front of his office. Not only [has the] homophobia of Mayor Luzhkov been advertised today, but also the full collapse of his administration to prevent gays and lesbians [from] realiz[ing] their constitutional rights to march.
Today, we showed that our group is powerful not only in gay and lesbian aspects, but in general. Our fight is only at its beginning."

Joshua Furtado, a recent Tucson High graduate, made it all the way to the National Poetry Out Loud finals in Washington D.C. this past May, where he represented the state of Arizona. Poetry Out Loud is a contest that encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. Josh graciously agreed to an interview with Wordplay to discuss his Poetry Out Loud experience.
When/how did you first hear about the Poetry Out Loud program? Who were your teachers that got you involved in POL?
The first time I was exposed to Poetry Out Loud was during my sophomore year. I competed in Kurt Garbe's class (the POL program director at Tucson High School), but didn't make it past the class level. Then, senior year, I had Merle McPheeters for English, who pushed me through to the school-wide competition.
Do you have a history/background with performance? Does performance come naturally to you?
I'd always wanted to be a performer, but didn't get over my stage fright until the summer before my freshman year. I've been pursuing acting very seriously ever since, performing on stage and in student films. Thankfully, performing comes naturally to me now.
New Year's resolutions are something I never really resolved to make. Considering my "New Year" is a different time of year than it is for everyone else, I never really considered December 31st such a big deal. The only thing that always catches my attention, besides the obvious hard to miss fireworks, giant disco balls, etc., is everyone else's resolve to do a 180 for the year ahead. But if every year we all do a 180, we'd all be doing 360's every other year and never really change anything. Looking forward to the big picture is always admirable, but I like to think that it's just as important if not more so to also be able to look back. If we can see where we got lost along the way, it only helps our resolve to change directions in our lives with purpose. Which, personally, I think beats going in circles.
This is a list of my favorite series for older children and younger adults in the realm of magic, other realities, and the richly imagined. All of these books are fantastic, many are deeply poetic, and I recommend them for all ages — I can re-read them anytime, always with wonder and fascination.
The Sea of Trolls trilogy, Nancy Farmer, 2004-2009. Along with The Land of the Silver Apples and The Islands of the Blessed, this is a brilliant quest adventure of Norsemen and berserkers, slaves, gods and ogres — an exciting, exquisitely detailed world half legend and half fantasy, complete with humor and longing and even philosophy, that should be high up in the canon of children's and young adult literature. (Note for locals: Farmer is an Arizona native who lives in the Chiricahua Mountains. She's won plenty of awards, but still deserves to be far, far more widely read.)
The Worlds of Chrestomanci, Diana Wynne Jones, 1977-2006. A seven-book series about a multiverse peopled by a charming cast of relatable, endearing magical characters. Written by one of the world's all-time finest fantasy writers, the British Wynne Jones, who wrote dozens of wonderful novels and short-story collections — of which I've devoured almost all — before she died just a couple of years ago. Wynne Jones' books sparkle with vigor and wit.
His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman, 1995-2000. This excellent fantasy trilogy for young adults, beginning with The Golden Compass, is in fact, like most of the books on this list, for all ages. Gorgeous and almost infinitely memorable, it'll stay with you for the rest of your life, I predict, once you fall in love. There's also a movie.
The Poetry Center's Matinee program now brings poetry readings to schools. Local poets and authors, in addition to poets who have traveled to Tucson to participate in the Poetry Center's Reading Series, are available to read and discuss their writing with middle and high school students. More than 1000 writers have read or lectured in the series, including most major contemporary U.S. poets, significant international visitors, and emerging artists. The following poets are available for upcoming visits.
Spring 2013 semester: Rebecca Seiferle, Tucson Poet Laureate, author of four books of poetry, and translator of Cesar Vallejo. Read her work here and here.
Fall 2013 semester: Eduardo C. Corral, author of Slow Lightning, winner of the Yale Younger Series Poets Prize. Read his work here.
To reserve a matinee performance by one of the poets above, contact Renee Angle at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the name of the poet you are interested in hosting, your school name and grade, and subject you teach. Interested teachers and schools are served on a first come, first serve basis. Each poet will make one visit to one school. Most poet visits are ideal for middle and high school groups. For more infomation, please visit our Matinee page.
With winter upon us, what better way to celebrate the chilly weather than with some snow poems? Check out these wonderful poems about snow, written by students at past Family Days events at the Poetry Center. Snuggle up, get some hot cocoa, and enjoy!
Snow, Snow Wonderful Snow
Snow, snow wonderful
snow. Listen to the silence,
of the wonderful snow
falling over the town,
over the icy pond, on the
mountains over the valley.
Between midnight and
daylight. Little tiny icy gems
Glitter falling from the sky.
-- Molly
Maybe it's the cliché poet soul-disturbance, but I could hardly find a happy winter poem. One, called "Winterpig" by Denise Levertov, is the only celebratory poem of winter, or the holidays, or the cold, that I discovered. Most are ominous, like John Haines' immensely deep voice, making the cold months of December and January feel daunting -- not like the Tucson 70 degree days we seem to enjoy in Southern Arizona.
In spirit of the gratefulness and compassion we share in the holidays, I will now share with you poems that have nothing to do with those emotions. Most of these works are extremely short, making me think that perhaps all these poets just want winter to be over -- I can't blame them, it's difficult to write with chilled fingers..
I guess I need a little help this month, what are some fun winter poems you have found on Voca?
John Haines
Most of his poems from Winter News do, indeed, deal with winter. The wild, cold, natural winter. Cozy up to a real wood fire, a quilt, and indulge your ears in this disturbingly low, smooth, voice.
Today, we're featuring the writing of our guest blogger, Eleanor Allen-Henderson. Eleanor was a volunteer this past summer at the Poetry Center's annual Creative Writing Camp. She has graciously agreed to share her writing with us. Below is one of her stories. Keep an eye out for more writing from Eleanor in the next month.
A Speculation
The bamboo wood, supporting the wall of glass, didn't feel trusted. Bamboo wasn't enough for Walls and there was Steel, outlining its every crevice. Bamboo wasn't sure whether to be relieved of the weight or disheartened that it could not bear the weight of lives. Bamboo speculated people are like that too.
The Poetry Center's 13th annual Corrido Contest deadline is fast approaching this Friday, December 7th at 5 p.m. (this is a postmark deadline). All Arizona high school students (grades 9-12) are encouraged to apply by writing corridos in Spanish and/or English. For resources on teaching corrido in the classroom, visit our Teaching Corrido page. To enter this year's Corrido Contest, please click here.
With the Corrido contest deadline fast approaching, Wordplay had a chance to sit down with one of last year's Corrido winners--Jamie Navarrette--and ask her about her Corrido contest experience. Jamie was a freshman when she won third place in the Corrido contest last year. She is now a sophomore at Sunnyside High School. Check out our interview with her, as well as her winning corrido, below.
WP: When did you first hear about the Corrido contest? Were you familiar with the corrido form prior to the contest?
JN: I heard about the Corrido Contest from my Spanish teacher; it was an assignment for class. I knew what a corrido was, but I didn't know there was a contest about it.
WP: Who/what inspired you to write your corrido titled, "Corrido Terminado?"
JN: My Mom helped me and encouraged me along the way. But I had gone through so many ideas, and none of them worked, so I decided to write about how I couldn't write a corrido.
Every year, the Poetry Center holds their annual Corrido Contest. The corrido is a musical ballad form developed in Mexico in the 1800s and originally sung throughout the country. Although still popular in Mexico, over time it became known as "musica de la frontera" (border music) because it was especially popular along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. This contest for high school students encourages historical and cultural awareness and provides students with a vehicle to express themselves. All Arizona high school students in grades 9-12 are encouraged to apply by writing corridos in Spanish and/or English. For resources on teaching corrido in the classroom, visit our Teaching Corrido page. To enter in this year's corrido contest, please check out our website; the deadline for this year's contest is Friday, December 7th by 5 p.m.
With the Corrido contest deadline fast approaching, Wordplay had a chance to sit down with one of last year's Corrido winners--R.J. Mendoza--and ask him about his Corrido contest experience. Check out our interview with him below.
WP: How did you (and your family) re-act when you found that, out over 400 submissions, your Corrido was award second place?
RM: We were really surprised. After I got the call saying that I had wond second place, I called up my parents and we started telling everyone.
WP: When did you first hear about the Corrido contest? Who encouraged you to enter?
RM: I head about the Corrido contest about a month or so before the due date. I was looking on the Phoenix Library College depot site and found it in their scholarship list. My parents saw the scholarship as well and encouraged me to enter, throwing ideas as to what I could write about.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with an ode to our favorite, ill-fated feathered friend? (That is, unless you're a fan of Tofurkey). Sit back, relax, and enjoy "Ode to Turkey," written by the 7-10-year-old class at Family Days this past Saturday, under the "turkelage" of their instructor, Kimi Eisele.
Ode to Turkey
Steaming to the top of the oven
it heats, waiting
Some sit at the table
Some peer in the oven
Some fix the salad or
mush the mashed potatoes
Some slice bread
Some butter the sweet potatoes
Meanwhile the smell of the turkey
flows and flies through the house.
Even dad watching football wiggles his nose.
The dogs salivate.

10 Responses to Easter Jelly Bean Trail
First I love your name 🙂 Second …love the jelly bean trail idea …I may have to steal that one. Happy Easter! email@example.com
We'll be keeping the tradition alive this year! 🙂 I like this cute post.
LOVE this! our family will be adding this to our easter this year!!!
great idea – my son loves jelly beans already so this will be fun
I grew up with the 'jelly bean trail' tradition… I assummed it was this way for everyone else. I haven't met anyone personally who also grew up with this. My girls LOVE the jelly bean trail too!
I do this with "leprechan" feet on St. Patrick's day! (cut out little green footprints!) CUTE idea with jelly beans!
The Easter Bunny left footprints at our house when I was growing up. They were just three jellybeans clustered together to look like a bunny paw. It worked out so well because there were three kids in my family so we each got one jelly bean from each paw print!
What a fun tradition. I love it!
What a cute idea! We used to get clues to find our Easter baskets, but I really like this. We're going to have to try it out. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy your day!
These are so cute and I know that my daughters would love them! I would love for you to come and share this lovely tradition at our linky party.
Hope to see you there,

Shopping cart brag: Meijer Dec. 13
I made a grocery run at Meijer today. This was partly to get some necessary items before the snow fell and partly to get more cookie ingredients as it that will probably be my "snowbound" project tomorrow.
But this also was a good lesson in shopping the sales + what your family will need and use. There really are some terrific deals in the two-day sale that is in effect today and Saturday, much less the weekly sales flier. But not all of them were relevant to what my husband and I could use. I'd have to get way too many boxes of Cheerios, for example, for that sale to make sense cost-wise.
The stockup decisions I made, therefore, were based on what I knew I could use fairly soon or store until used.
I got all this for $64.14 plus two Meijer checkout coupons, one manufacturer / product coupon, and the MPerks special of $5 off a $50 purchase. Just about everything I bought was on sale.
The list:
Bath beads (I needed this for dry skin); two deodorants; 10 single serve candy bars (that's how the sale worked, but the net cost was worth it); two jars peanut butter; two very large containers of oatmeal (can you say oatmeal cookies?); a small piece of ham; Bubba burgers (these are expensive, but we've decided they are worth the splurge); one loaf bread; one pack buns; one bag flour; one bag shredded cheese; two packages Kraft singles; one back Nestle chocolate chips; napkins; one pound butter; dishwasher tabs; parchment paper; two gallons milk; one box waffles (a rare purchase); toilet paper (half off); and Starbucks coffee (sale price too good to ignore).

Hand-in-hand with his rock-solid work ethic is the rumbling, Waylonesque baritone that barrels from his broad frame, nailing covers from the "outlaw" catalog alongside his own self-penned tunes—songs accompanied by country legends like Merle Haggard's guitarist Redd Volkaert and Johnny Cash's piano man Earl Poole Ball on his latest album, Wicked, Ornery, Mean, and Nasty.

Skiing Together - A Family First
Beep…beep…beep. The alarm wakes us up for our first day at Park City Mountain Resort. We look out the window and are greeted by sunshine and freshly groomed runs. Excitement and chaos quickly ensue as everyone starts getting dressed and making sure they have everything they'll need for the day, then eating breakfast and trying to get out the door for our 9:00 am lesson.
"Today my youngest daughter Veronica will join us for the first time and our whole family will be on the mountain together."
My husband, oldest daughter and I have been snowboarding together for years, but today will be different. Today my youngest daughter Veronica will join us for the first time and our whole family will be on the mountain together. I'm excited and a little apprehensive as we hustle out the door. I've been talking about this trip for a couple of months now, I just really hope that it's a great experience. Veronica has special needs and I have been longing for her to be on the mountain with us. Park City Mountain Resort partners with the National Ability Center (NAC) for its adaptive ski program to make this possible. The NAC provides over 3,800 lessons each season, so they know what they are doing.
On the Mountain
We walked into the NAC ski building where we were met by Kristen, the program director, and were introduced to Que'ena, Veronica's instructor for the morning. A bi-ski was ready and Que'ena explained the ski to Veronica, how it worked and what to expect. Then we sat Veronica in the ski and tilted it from side to side, practicing turns. A wide smile quickly spread across Veronica's face, letting us know she was ready to go.
Geared up, we headed to the chairlift. I was wondering how this all worked, but the instructor's experience was evident in how easy she made everything look. At the top of the lift, we rode off and headed down our first hill together. At this point I was just watching my little girl ski down the mountain, wondering what she was thinking. Back at the chairlift she was happy, and we were off to a longer run. I was kind of surprised and my stomach flipped just a little the first time I saw the instructor let go of the handle and my daughter skiing by herself, secured by a tether. That bit of anxiety quickly changed to elation as I watched everyone make their way down the mountain together. I sat back and just savored the moment. I felt the sunshine, heard the swish of the snow under my board, saw my oldest try some new tricks, and watched my husband video both girls as he rode behind them, cheering them on. Pure bliss.
We had a 3 hour session, and honestly I thought Veronica would be done after an hour or two, but she was up for the whole 3 hours. Afterwards we went to lunch together. Sitting in the lodge, revisiting our morning on the slopes and planning the rest of the day is one of my favorite times on the mountain. Having both of my kids enjoying this with us together made it complete.
To say that I was impressed by the NAC at Park City Mountain Resort would be an understatement.
Their commitment to providing ski lessons for all ages and all abilities is more than a slogan. My daughter is pretty complicated and tough to fit in any equipment, we are always trying to find solutions on our own. The NAC's experience and approach made this an amazing experience for our family, so much so that we are planning a return visit.
It is my sincere hope that other families take an opportunity to try this experience for themselves. Although I always wanted my daughter to ski with us, I had no idea how much it would really mean to her. It was liberating for all of us.

Ingenuity and quirky fun abound at these new-Style farming escapes
By Kate Silver
Fields across America are experiencing a new dawn as farming becomes the "in" thing. And it's not just farm-to-table dinners and pick-and-pay produce stands that are attracting attention. City and country dwellers alike are discovering that farmers have some major surprises up their sleeves. Sure, you can still find big red barns, rustling cornfields and iconic silos. But innovation abounds—in the form of everything from vertical farms to pizza farms—at a number of off-the-beaten-path farming destinations. Your trailblazing, discovery-seeking Chevrolet Sonic—the only small car that's built in America*—is the perfect vehicle for exploring these unique down-home country outposts. And its responsive handling can tackle any farm's dirt roads.
Pizza Farm
Stockholm, Wisconsin
Pizza may not grow on trees, but all of its ingredients come from the farm. Nowhere is that more apparent than on a Tuesday night at Pizza on the Farm, an event hosted by A to Z Produce and Bakery. Here, people come from near and far to try the farm-fresh pie, and wander among rows upon rows of pizza-perfect fresh vegetables. Bring a blanket and enjoy the pie where it tastes best—on the farm.
Vertical Farm
Chicago, Illinois
Vertical farming could be the future of how we grow our fruits and vegetables in cities. Urban renewal meets sustainability at The Plant, a new vertical farm in Chicago, located inside a former meatpacking facility. The Plant relies on aquaculture, which means schools of fish fertilize the plants, and the plants—in turn—filter the water for the fish. Here, visitors can see the fruits of The Plant's labor, as greenery sprouts on rafts, before being harvested and sold at a local farmer's market. Tours are available three days a week.
Alpaca Farm (and Galena Log Cabins)
Galena, Illinois
Spend a night in these roomy log cabins within view of the beautiful starry sky—and you're also just a few feet away from two fields of camelids. Galena Log Cabins is home to an alpaca farm, and the owners actually allow guests to grab a leash and take an alpaca for a walk. Enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life (but don't expect to find any fruits and vegetables here) as you get to know these gentle, long-necked, doe-eyed creatures.
China Ranch Date Farm
Tecopa, California
Farming in the desert? It's more prevalent than you might think. The climate of the Mojave, it turns out, is perfect for date trees, and this working family farm is open to visitors. Guests can hike through the mudhills and slot canyons, or wander amid the date palm trees. Whatever you do, be sure and stop by the gift shop for a taste of the farms caramel-like dates—particularly in the form of a date milk shake, date cookies and date bread.
Kliebert's Turtle & Alligator Farm
Hammond, Louisiana
See for yourself what swamp farm life is like on a guided tour on the Swamp People Trail. Around the Kliebert family's property, you'll find nearly 50,000 turtles and 300 gators, measuring up to 18 feet long. Let's hope they're not hungry.

For Eagles, Halaby's analytics play big role
There is no data to display.
A slender, bony frame and long, spindly fingers suggest that Alec Halaby once played on fields similar to the ones that now serve as the background to his office in the NovaCare Complex.
"Yeah, I was a high school quarterback," Halaby said earlier this summer. "And a very average one."
Halaby, a Harvard grad with the squeaky clean face of a high school valedictorian, represents the analytics voice of the Eagles' front office, among his many tasks as special assistant to general manager Howie Roseman. He first interned with the Eagles in 2007 and came back in 2009.
Analytics is a trendy phenomenon that has become the primary source of player evaluation in Major League Baseball and more pervasive in other college and professional sports. It is quickly growing into the new method for sizing up NBA players.
A big part of Halaby's specialty is using statistics and data to compare and contrast with what the scouting department sees on tape to come up with a separate scouting evaluation.
If, for example, Roseman has a high grade on a specific college prospect, Halaby will crunch the player's size, 40-yard dash time, vertical and other tangible measurements to see how they compare against NFL players at the same position.
Several times, Halaby's analysis has contradicted what the tape revealed and Roseman has reluctantly altered that player's draft stock or free-agent value.
"No matter how much you like that guy, you've probably got to let him go," Roseman said. "We've been very disciplined in the past couple of years about doing that and making sure that we're not taking a running back who runs a 4.9 [in the 40-yard dash] just because he runs really tough between the tackles and we like the physicality he shows on tape, because we know the chances he becomes a really good player in this league -- where talent really is the most important thing at this level -- are really low."
It's a simple game of percentages that becomes very complex, because just like tape, numbers don't always tell the full story.
"It's hard for me," Roseman admitted. "Alec can probably tell you. There are times that I'll say, 'I really like this guy and we're thinking about signing him or drafting him and can you do some research?'
"And he'll come back with the research and I'll be disappointed. I'll say, 'I really like this guy' and I'll try to convince him. He'll say, 'You can do whatever you want, obviously, but the chances are that we're playing very highly against the odds.'
"I'll take 24 hours and I'll realize it's the right decision and that's what we've got to do. We've been very fortunate in that the players we've brought in over the last two years that things are matching up better than they had."
Halaby, 26, is part of Roseman's front office reshuffle, which started after personnel chief Ryan Grigson and former president Joe Banner each left the organization within a five-month span in 2011; Grigson taking the Colts' general manager job and Banner leaving to eventually become CEO of the Cleveland Browns.
The front office is now streamlined, Roseman has said several times, with fewer people making final decisions but more voices representing different factions being heard throughout the course of player evaluations.
Analytics first became appealing to Halaby as a teenager growing up in Madison, Wisc. Knowing that his future as a quarterback wouldn't go beyond high school, Halaby's interest grew in the mathematics behind sport.
He made the transformation from athlete to stat geek, as his curiosities intensified about the role data and statistical analysis could play in evaluations. At the same time, Halaby is quick to point out that analytics can only go so far in player evaluation.
It's still an inexact science and tape is still the foremost resource for gauging potential success or failure.
"In terms of the end point -- which is getting an accurate evaluation on a player -- every evaluation I do, part of that is going to be watching the tape and seeing what the player looks like, coming up with an evaluation that way," Halaby said. "And part of it is going to be studying the data to see what I can extract from that. Usually, those two things are speaking to one another."
Roseman sees some of himself in Halaby, who said he sent resumes and cover letters to every NFL team several times before the Eagles finally opened their doors to him.
Before he worked his way into the scouting sector, which cleared the way for his ascent to general manager, Roseman first started low on the front office totem pole under Banner. Halaby started off his Eagles career as a personnel analyst.
"When you get a resume from Harvard, obviously it's impressive," Roseman said. "The way I got in and almost the pledging I had to go to get a foot in the door, and the persistence and determination, I judge people for how they're doing it.
"I would never hire someone at the ground level who sends one email to me or one sends one letter. It doesn't take long to talk to him and find out how smart he is, and so does he really want to do it? Because it's going to take him a while to get where he wants to go.
"I remember telling him, 'Even if you're the quickest rise in the history of GMs, it's going to take you a decade to go through that process.' So how much does he really want to do it? How much is he willing to sacrifice? It didn't take long to see his passion for this."

Dear Friends,
More than 30 years ago, a small group of committed and passionate advocates realized that members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities did not have the supports and services they needed as they aged. So, they founded SAGE, the country's first organization focused on LGBT older people. They didn't know it then, but they were planting a small seed that would grow from a vital local agency into a leading organization with the commitment and will to change the national landscape on LGBT aging.
In 1978—and for many years following—few LGBT organizations were paying attention to aging issues, and few aging organizations were aware of LGBT issues. SAGE was often the lone voice combatting ageism in our communities and the broader society, and one of the few organizations to realize that our country's aging network was ill-prepared to effectively meet the needs of the rapidly growing population of older Americans, especially LGBT elders.
It is with this history in mind that we reflect back on SAGE's accomplishments in 2011. We are living in a time of great opportunity for LGBT aging issues, and over the past year, SAGE saw many of the initiatives for which we had laid the groundwork flourish. As you navigate through the pages of this annual report site, you'll see how SAGE's increased leadership in the federal policy arena and our partnerships with other national aging organizations have led to important breakthroughs for LGBT older adults—from the extension of spousal impoverishment protections to same-sex couples struggling to pay for long-term care, to ensuring that the increasing numbers of LGBT older people living with HIV/AIDS have the support they need.
SAGE also saw deepening interest from leaders across the aging field in learning more about the barriers that face LGBT older people, and shaping solutions to those challenges. This is evidenced by our partnership with the National Academy on an Aging Society (the policy institute of the Gerontological Society of America) to produce a groundbreaking issue of their influential policy journal focused entirely on LGBT aging. And in perhaps one of our most exciting accomplishment of the last year, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that SAGE had received a grant to create The SAGE Center, the country's first municipally funded LGBT senior center—a dream many years in the making.
As this annual report shows, SAGE also sowed the seeds for many more changes to improve the lives of LGBT elders. Through steady advocacy, backed by our well-respected policy briefs and reports, we are making strides toward naming LGBT older people as a population of "greatest social need" in the Older Americans Act, an action that has the potential to channel substantial funding toward LGBT-affirming aging programs in communities across the country. In addition, SAGE's National Resource Center on LGBT Aging launched a much-in-demand national LGBT cultural competency training curriculum for aging providers, helping to create welcoming agencies and relevant services for LGBT older people no matter where they live.
Recently, we heard from one of SAGE's founders, who told us, "I think we knew that SAGE would thrive, but we could never have imagined the multiservice agency it is today, with the programs all over the country. It's heartwarming to think about how many people have been helped by SAGE, and I'm so proud to be part of helping to create an LGBT community that includes its elders." This is indeed a great accomplishment, and it would not have been possible without our founders, or our many friends and supporters. On behalf of SAGE's Board of Directors, Staff, volunteers and constituents, thank you for your steadfast commitment to our mission! You have nurtured the seeds of change alongside SAGE, ensuring that LGBT older people receive the support they need to age successfully now and for years to come.

Voice in the Wilderness
THIRD VOICE'S SOFTWARE may be raising hackles on the coasts, but in the Twin Cities the company's marketing department still has some work to do. The sticky-note-style tags created by its utility adorn a handful of highly trafficked Web sites, but many local institutions--Jesse Ventura, the University of Minnesota, Prince--so far have failed to sprout the trademark red arrows.
On sites that have been tagged, the notes left by Third Voice users range from boosterish to nasty. At the Walker Art Center site (www.walkerart.org), a fan has taken the trouble to comment: "Probably one of the best art center/museums in the Midwest. Very progressive and interesting ideas." At the other end of the spectrum is a note reading "The Twins really stink" on the Major League Baseball page devoted to the local team (www.majorleaguebaseball.com/u/baseball/mlb/teams/MIN/index.html). Northwest Airlines (www.nwa.com)--surprise!--hosts a flaming diatribe from a dissatisfied customer ("In general NWA personnel are rude, unfriendly, and unprofessional").
None of which looks much like the "meta-community" Third Voice says it seeks to create. Using the software, explains Leo Jolicoeur, the startup company's vice president of business development, should be "like going to the library and finding a coffeehouse where you can discuss a book or article right there." But while Third Voice-enabled comments are indisputably "right there," few taggers seem to have bothered to actually address each other, leaving the local meta-community looking less like a Barnes & Noble/Starbucks and more like a series of graffitied billboards.
Part of the reason may be that Third Voice has so far failed to generate much of a buzz in these parts. Several local Web designers queried by City Pages professed ignorance about the software; Robert Stephens, founder of the Minneapolis-based computer-support company Geek Squad, says he's aware of it but remains unimpressed. "My feeling is 'whatever,' in terms of usefulness," he says. "The last thing I need is another frickin' download program to be running in the background." The primary beneficiaries of the technology, says Stephens, might actually be companies whose sites are tagged: "They could listen in for feedback on their products." But then, he adds, "Third Voice is basically competing with usegroups and chat rooms," where consumers already engage in lengthy discussions about products and brands.
"[Third Voice] is not like usegroups and chat rooms, because those are compartmentalized and dissociated experiences," counters Jolicoeur. "You have to go somewhere else to use them. When you use Third Voice, your comments are right there." Besides, he adds, "meta-community" is just the beginning. The company plans to roll out "meta-content" soon, to be followed by "meta-commerce." Jolicoeur is coy about just what meta-commerce might be and whether--or how--Third Voice currently generates any revenue: "We're just not worried about making any money right now."

Your editorial, "On firm moral and legal ground" (Dec. 10), supporting Holy Ghost Prep's dismissal of a gay teacher because he plans to marry stands on weak moral and legal grounds. It ignores the 20th century social wars that were fought and won to end discrimination and bigotry. Even worse, it teaches intolerance to the next generation. This deserves condemnation, not applause.
Simply put, there is no moral basis to dismiss a teacher who is in a loving and committed relationship for plans to marry in a state where it is lawful to do so. At best, this is a case of selective morality based on church homophobia. Surely, Holy Ghost does not dismiss heterosexual employees who cohabit outside marriage or who practice birth control — conduct that would be against church teachings and in breach of their employment contracts. Who would be left to teach?

Gold miner
Look at their financials; THM keeps losing money even though Gold is near record highs. Other mining companies are digging gold up for $300 an ounce. Something has got to be seriously wrong with THM.
I like the livengood project and will play CORVF.PK for a profit. Same play is KOR.ts and seems to get better press coverage. I bought in at 1.05 and 1.07 hope the up trend continues.
Huge gold discovery will prove lucritive unless gold takes a dump.

Trinity Foundation: Who We Are
Trinity Foundation began in 1972 as a religious, charitable and educational non-profit foundation for promoting the public interest in the State of Texas by producing Christ-centered communications projects.
An early skepticism about the way religious programming was bought and sold prompted Trinity to conduct a controversial research project on the audience demographics and ratings of religious broadcasting. This preceded the scandals that rocked the religious television industry in the 1980's. In 1987 after supplying testimony to congressional hearings about the religious TV industry, the foundation began full-time monitoring of religious programming and reporting abuses of the public trust. By the 1990s Trinity had become the leading "watchdog" of religious media, conducting investigations and providing information used to expose fraud and abuses committed in the name of God.
The foundation regularly provides assistance to print and electronic journalists investigating suspected fraud or other abuses of the public trust by members of the religious media. The foundation has worked with news organizations such as ABC News Prime Time Live, CBS News 60 Minutes, NBC News Dateline, CNN Special Reports, ABC News 20/20, British Broadcasting Corporation, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Economist, London Independent, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Dallas Morning News (among many others).
The foundation has regularly provided testimony and investigative reports to various state and federal agencies.
Currently, the foundation is working with the Senate Finance Committee on their investigation of religious non-profit organization abuses. The committee sent letters to six ministries in November 2007 seeking to determine if they were abusing their non-profit tax status. In a letter to the committee, Trinity Foundation President Ole Anthony told the committee, "During the 20 years of investigating these organizations we have noticed an ever increasing trend of the leaderships becoming very wealthy and more specifically a trend toward conversion of the donor funds to either inurement or conversion to for-profit activities. In some cases it is difficult if not impossible to tell the not-for-profit from the individual's personal piggy-bank or from the for-profit entity."
Others have agreed religious fraud is a growing problem. Deborah Bortner, former president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, told the committee, "I've been a securities regulator for 20 years, and I've seen more money stolen in the name of God than in any other way."
The usual government oversight procedures have not been able to keep up. In a 2005 letter to Senator Grassley, IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson admitted even the IRS has not been able to properly confront the problem: "For those organizations that need not file for exempt status and do not file annual returns, such as small organizations and churches, the problem is compounded because we have little ability to monitor their operations against diversion of assets."
Unfortunately for the public, many of the huge organizations Trinity investigates are legally disguised as churches. And even as the problem has increased, news media across the country have reduced their investigative budgets, allowing many of these abuses to continue unreported.
Although Trinity's main focus has been on exposing abusive behavior, the foundation has also been active in trying to right some of the wrongs we've discovered over the years. In the late 1980s Trinity Foundation launched the Dallas Project, a challenge to religious organizations to help the homeless. The spark for this effort came from what we saw as neglect and exploitation of the needy by the same religious organizations we were investigating. Hundreds of lives were touched as a result. Direction of the Dallas Project has since been taken under the wing of Community on Columbia (The Block), a church where many members of Trinity Foundation attend.

Crepe Paper Flower Pomanders
By: Karisa Tell, Editor for FaveCrafts.com
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

When you're looking for wedding reception centerpiece ideas, consider making these crepe paper flower pomanders! These pomanders are a very thrifty alternative to real flowers.
See this project and more on the blog!
- Foam balls (8" would work best for my vases) OR wadded up newspaper
- Hot glue gun and glue
- Streamers (200 feet per pomander)
- Glue dots
Start by making the rosettes. First I cut my streamers into strips about 3-4 feet long. I didn't measure them first, so of course none of the rosettes are uniform. I think that makes them look more realistic though.
Start by rolling the end of the streamer a few times.
Then you'll continue wrapping the rest of the strip around your roll in a spiral, except that you'll twist the strip as you go. I found that it works best to twist it often and randomly, and not too tightly.
When you're finished wrapping and twisting, secure the end of the strip to the rosette using a glue dot or a dab of hot glue. Your rosette should look like this:
Once you've made enough rosettes (for me it was when I finished off the entire roll of streamers), glue them to your ball using a hot glue gun. Most pomander tutorials will advise that you use a foam ball as your base. However, since I need to make 20 of these and I need a fairly large ball, I really couldn't justify the expense. It would have cost me about $275 just for the foam balls! Instead, I rolled up a few sheets of newspaper and taped them into a spherical shape and called that my ball. Then I glued the rosettes to my newspaper balls.
Once you have the entire ball covered in rosettes, set it on the top of your vase, and you're done!

This is an versatile craft. I have an in home child care facility and this is something the older children can do. It works well in colors to suit the season. Table decorations for all times of the year. Really love the use of newspaper to make the spheres. Will use that idea for other crafts requiring spheres that will be covered. Thanks

The deck of cards workout is great because it is challenging, there is no equipment required, it can be done anywhere, and it will never grow old as long as you keep switching up the moves!
Grab a deck of cards and let's begin!
The Workout
Face cards (jack, queen, king) – complete 11 repetitions of designated suit
Ace – take a 1 minute break
Diamonds – pushups
Hearts (cardio move to get your heart pumping!) – jumping jacks
Spades – squats
Clubs – crunches
Use the suit of the card to determine the exercise, then the number on the card to decide the amount of repetitions you will do.
Card one: 8 of clubs- 8 crunches
Card two: 4 of hearts- 4 jumping jacks
Card three: Ace of diamonds – take a 1 minute break
Card four: Queen of spades- 11 squats
When you first begin, set an appropriate goal for yourself (for example: get through the deck in less than 35 minutes). Then the next time you do the workout, try and beat your previous time.
Each time you play, give the suits a different exercise to add variety to your workouts and to make it more challenging for yourself.

CHICAGO (AP) — Promising to commit to the neighborhood, executives with the upscale grocery chain Whole Foods announced plans Wednesday to build a store in the heart of one of Chicago's most impoverished and crime-plagued areas.
However, Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb had almost no answers for how the company — known for its organic and expensive fare — would follow through with the promise to make the store more affordable, leaving residents and experts skeptical.
"It is a bit too pricey for this area," said 57-year-old retiree Patricia Jackson who's lived in Englewood for years. "I don't see it making it in this neighborhood."
Located roughly 10 miles south of downtown, Englewood is one of the city's roughest neighborhoods. It's part of a police district that saw a roughly 40 percent increase in homicides last year, boarded up homes are increasingly common as the neighborhood has lost population, and fresh food options are limited.
The dirt and weed lot where the store will go has been vacant for decades.
City officials touted the new store as a way to help reduce so-called food deserts, pockets of the city where residents don't have easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has put a spotlight on the concept with the help of first lady Michelle Obama, who grew up in the city, and a push from retailers including Walgreen Co.
The city is also providing an approximately $10 million subsidy for parts of the Whole Foods project. Development of the project — including priming the lot — will get the money in special taxing district funds.
The new 18,000-sqaure-foot location is set to open in 2016, not far from a discount grocery store and across from Kennedy-King College, which is part of a system of community colleges run by city officials. The store is expected to create about 100 jobs and partner with the college's culinary program.
"We're going to do it an inclusive manner, a respectful manner. The first step is to listen to what people in Englewood actually want," Robb said. "This is not a helicopter in … This is a situation where we want to start to meet people and learn and listen."
Robb and other officials said a Whole Foods that opened in Detroit in June may serve as a blueprint. Suppliers there agreed to lower prices as a way to fill a void in the area — but the comparison may not be fully accurate.

The Valley's isolation and high altitude make it ideally suited for winemakers dedicated to the limited production of premium wines. Cafayate Valley enjoys wider temperature ranges than any other part of Argentina, with warm summer days offset by cool nights plunging by as much as 45°F. This extraordinary variance is key to Don Rodolfo wines, preserving acidity, enhancing richness of aroma/flavor, and increasing superior varietal expression. View all Don Rodolfo Wines
About Argentina(ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Many uses for these stoppersMay 1, 2014
These bead stoppers are so handy when I\'m stringing a bracelet. I also use them to firm up split rings on the bracelet because my split ring opener tool spreads the rings apart. Works like a charm. The minis fit nicely into tight spots. Great tool. Glad I got them.

Kensington Palace in Kensington Gardens (thanks to everyone for pointing out my - now corrected - mistake.
Added by Rob Chatley[Rob] on 15th August 2001.
Tagged with 2 keywords
In and around the capital.
Parks and public gardens.
Isn't it called Kensington Palace?
Well done for spotting the dropped comments in the Great Comment Debacle of 2001.
(For newcomers, I blew all the comments up by being hasty, thanks to Tom Ayles thinking, I could restore the vast majority from Google's cache).
It is Kensington Palace but Rob thought that it was the place where Charles lived ergo it must be St James Palace. Don't know why he thought Charles lived there - Diana did but they were divorced by then.
Kensington Palace
The picture is of Kensington Palace not St James's. As well as being Princess Diana's home, it was Princess Margaret's home, and she has just died too. Her body is currently lying in the Queen's Chapel which IS in (or just next to) St James's Palace, which itself is not far from Buckingham Palace. London certainly has plenty palaces!!
ok, ok, I know, it was just a simple mistake.
You can change the title if you fancy, Rob. I'll get to letting you take another short name (with forwarding the old one) pretty soon.
So much for not adding features until I finish the feature-request module.
Oh and you've a typo too - 'Kensignton'.
I'll lay off now. B-)
'Some Nobody' is the name anonymous comments are posted under.

Max Square was standing room only Friday night.
Residents and friends came out to support the Bell family after Joe Bell was tragically killed on a Colorado highway Wednesday night.
Bud Hill of La Grande, who helped found Bells Faces for Change Foundation, speaks at the candlelight vigil for Joe Bell. Following Jadin Bell's passing, Faces For Change, was established in Jadins memory to promote anti-bullying programs. Photo by Phil Bullock.
Bell was on a walk across America to honor his son Jadin, who took his life earlier this year. Jadin was openly gay, and family members say bullying played a role in his death.
"This is a place of love and healing," said Miranda Warren-Zacharias, who helped organize the candlelight vigil.
Though Warren-Zacharias never met Jadin, she said she was touched by his story. She met Joe after Jadin's death.
"He was awesome," she said of the few times she got to talk to Joe.
Richard Scott, president of Eastern Oregon University's Gay Straight Alliance, said he grew up gay and La Grande and knows what Jadin went through.
"If I can provide some sort of example to someone who's hurting…" he said.
Bell family friend Bud Hill provided some laughs at the vigil.
"You knew I wasn't done," he said as he took the mic for the third time.
On a serious note, Hill said Faces for Change, the foundation started after Jadin's death to put an end to bullying, is still going.
"We're still going to get the education out there. We have to," he said. "(Joe's) mission from day one was if he could save one life it was worth it. I'll go to my grave believing he did."

I am running this command in a script
while [ 1 ]
if [ -e $LOG ]
grep -A 5 -B 5 -f $PATTERNS $LOG >> $FOREMAIL
$LOG file is scp'ed from another machine. So as soon as it appears in the current directory, while loop detects it and does the grep. The problem is, the $FOREMAIL file turns up to be empty. But if I run this grep outside of the script as a standalone command with same files and params, I can see that it generates an output.
I am baffled as to why this command is generating no o/p in the script?
