I have 3 kids already and my period is late...and it's never late! So I have myself convinced that I'm pregnant...even though we're not trying, but I'm not on birth control, so it's plausible for me to be pregnant!
Just curious how long it took for you ladies to get a positive result from a home test & what symptoms you were having right around the time of your missed period?
You would think that already having 3 kids I would know these answeres....I just need some reassurance :)

What's really wrong with the Bush Justice Department.
Our system of government tries to limit the sway of partisan politics over the law by giving life tenure to federal judges. But it doesn't do the same for the attorney general or the lawyers who work for him. They serve at the pleasure of the president, to whom we grant the legal authority to fire anyone from his team for any reason.
The straightforwardness of this rule helps explain why the Bush administration's firing of seven U.S. attorneys at the beginning of December, plus an eighth last summer, didn't immediately ignite into controversy. But what's come out since then makes clear that this targeted removal of prosecutors was different in kind as well as degree from political dramas at the Department of Justice in prior administrations. In the context of other Bush administration assaults on DOJ lawyers, the U.S. attorney scandal confirms the administration's disdain for the nonpolitical tradition of federal law enforcement.
To be sure, the past practices that embodied this tradition weren't codified. Nor are they legally binding. They're the kind of custom recorded by anthropologists more than legal scholars, and they include many exceptions. Yet they have long governed how federal law-enforcement decisions were made. And they have been sturdy enough to keep in check the president's authority to remove lawyers at will for a generation before the current administration.
The attorney general and the lawyers who work for him represent the administration that picks them. But their client is the United States, and the oath they swear is to uphold the nation's laws and the Constitution. The country's 93 U.S. attorneys transform from political appointees into public servants when they join the Justice Department. Once in place, they gain a significant measure of independence. For most crimes, they have the power to indict without approval from "Main Justice," the Washington, D.C. headquarters. This independence is "vital to ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice," in the words of Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney who worked in the Justice Department for both Republican and Democratic attorneys general.
The White House and DoJ are now under fire because, in disrespecting the post of U.S. attorney, they appeared to interfere with the independence of that office in a way that's unprecedented. In the previous quarter-century, according to the Congressional Research Service, no more than five and perhaps only two U.S. attorneys, out of 486 appointed by a president and confirmed by the Senate, have been similarly forced out—in the middle of a presidential term for reasons not related to misconduct. "It would be unprecedented for the Department of Justice or the president to ask for the resignations of United States attorneys during an administration, except in rare instances of misconduct or for other significant cause," White said when she testified in February about the Bush firings before much was known about them. Previous midterm removals include those of a Reagan U.S. attorney fired and convicted for leaking confidential information and a Clinton appointee who resigned under pressure after he lost a major drug case and allegedly went to an adult club and bit a topless dancer on the arm. This time, the stories are quite different.
Why should U.S. attorneys be insulated from presidential politics? White quoted from a 1940 speech to U.S. attorneys by Robert Jackson, then attorney general and later Supreme Court justice: "The prosecutor has more control over life, liberty, and reputation than any other person in America. His discretion is tremendous." The power of law enforcement to tarnish reputations, end people's liberty, and ruin lives, in other words, is so great that it has to be exercised judiciously and, above all, nonpolitically. That's one basic element of the rule of law. U.S. attorneys and other Justice Department lawyers have lived by the declaration of evenhandedness carved into the rotunda of the attorney general's office: "The United States wins its point whenever justice is done its citizens in the courts."
A previous low point for the Justice Department came almost two decades ago, during the Reagan years, when the switchboard sometimes answered, "Ninth Street Disillusionment Center" and the graffiti "Resign," "Leave," and "Sleaze" were scrawled on walls near the office of Attorney General Ed Meese. In 1988, six prominent Republicans resigned. Led by William Weld, then-head of DoJ's criminal division and later the governor of Massachusetts, they said they believed that the Justice Department was too impaired to enforce the law. These political appointees left behind a dispirited bureaucracy. But Meese didn't really tamper with the ranks of career attorneys, who don't normally come and go with the president, or with the department's basic apparatus for enforcement, including the U.S. attorneys' offices.
The early Clinton years brought woes of their own, with two tanked nominees for attorney general before the confirmation of Janet Reno, and the widespread perception that friendship and political loyalty were high on the list of qualifications for senior appointment. But the departure of Associate Attorney General Webb Hubbell, Hillary Clinton's former law partner and the department's crony-in-chief, and the arrival of the Whitewater scandal loosened the department's political leash. And again, the troubles in the senior political ranks didn't infect the U.S. attorneys' offices or the career lawyers.

The young people who have approved during the last weeks the Selectivity must choose race. And they are going to find a little more difficult to enter which want, because the competition greater must essentially to the increase of the pupils with a small reduction of the supply. If in course 2009-2010 it were possible to be acceded approximately with 5 of average note to 60% of the races that offered the campuses actual public, in this course 2010-2011 that is on the verge of finishing the approved one just gave access to little more of 42%, that is to say, to a little more 890 degrees (counting each race in each faculty). If we relaxed a little the criterion and we put in that coat the races that are in the 5 and the 5.1, the number grows up to 940 titles, 45%. In the opposed side, in more than 130 titles it was necessary to remove more from 10 to enter. Source of the news: : To choose race, more difficult by the Selectivity and the ascent of students

This is obtained with the exercise known like confused, the consisting of one breathing only through the tuba, without having the glasses protecting the nose. In this way and, although at the outset something disagreeable can be, obtains a blockade total of the nasal routes, not breathing by them and, therefore, not inhaling water. Another absolutely fundamental exercise in any course, is the casting of glasses, the great problem (never insurmountable) of many students. The mask whatever its design, counts on an air chamber between our eyes and the crystal. It is this trick of the vision under the water, the difference to be on the awares simply. It is therefore fundamental to maintain this small water space free. Lamentably it is not always possible, are many the times in which by different reasons the glasses fill of water (badly it fits, a flap, an abrupt plunge, hairs or moustaches, etc.) and is high-priority his casting.
The technique is simple and perhaps most important it is the tranquillity at the time of realising it. It consists simply of expelling air by the nose, at the same time as smoothly we moved slightly the glasses of the face. The air under pressure will be moving the water. It is an exercise that agrees to repeat until the perfection is reached, because it is a situation of most normal. At the outset it costs, being able to sometimes get to lead to the panic. For that reason it agrees to dominate it totally. At past times it was normal between the instructors in the examination, to give manotazo to the glasses of the student and to take off them under the water to observe its reaction. Today luckyly these practices usually are not realised, trusting more the capacity and gradual improvement of the nascent one. Dominated the aquatic element already one goes to the phase that in truth people hope.
Hipotlamo, part of diencfalo, with inferior localization to the thalamus. He is composed for about twelve nuclei, forming four main regions. To mamilar, posterior part of hipotlamo includes the bodies mamilares and the posterior hipotalmico nucleus. The tuberal region, that is the part widest of hipotlamo, includes the nuclei back-medial, ventro-medial and hooped, more infundbulo. The medium eminence, slightly prominent region, that surrounds infundbulo. The region supply-optics is superior to quiasmo optic, nucleus to paraventricular, the supply-optic nucleus, previous the hipotalmico nucleus and the supraquiasmtico nucleus.
The region daily pay-optics, is previous the supply-optics is, generally considered as part of hipotlamo, for participating it together with, of the regulation of certain autonmicas activities. Hipotlamo is one of the main regulators of the homeostasia. Other receivers, in proper hipotlamo, continuously monitor the osmtica pressure, certain hormonais contractions and the temperature of the blood. The main functions of hipotlamo are the following ones: Control of the SNA: hipotlamo controls and integrates the activities of the autonmico nervous system, that in turn, regulates the contraction of muscles smooth cardiopath of the secretion of many glands. By means of the SNA, hipotlamo and the main regulator of the visceral activities, including the regulation of the cardiac frequency, the food movement throughout the gastrintestinal treatment and of the contraction of the urinria bladder.
Control of the gland hipfise: hipotlamo produces some hormones and has two types of important connections with the gland hipfise, a endcrina gland, with inferior situation to hipotlamo. Regulating hipotalmicos hormones are set free in hair nets, in the medium eminence. The cellular bodies of these neurons produce one of two hormones (ocitocina or antidiurtico hormone). Regulation of the emotional and mannering standards. Together with the lmbico system, hipotlamo regulates the feelings of anger, aggression, pain and pleasure, also, behavior related with sexual activation. Regulation of the water and food ingestion.

(KRBC) Twins born just one minute apart share separate birth years.
Veronica Reed of Abilene,Texas gave birth to Hannah Grace at 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 2013; her identical twin sister, Danielle Lyn, was born at 12:0 a.m. on New Year's Day.
When Reed went to Abilene Regional Medical Center for her routine check-up on New Year's Eve, it seemed her twins had other plans.
She wasn't schedule to give birth until January 3rd. With a twist in fate, it seemed the situation was destined.
She calls her babies "a true miracle." While she was pregnant, her twins were diagnosed with a rare disorder known as Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTTS).
Doctors thought one of the twins would not make it.

Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat recently reminded us of just how desperate people are in this recession. In a particularly poignant column, he wrote about a onetime TV producer who applied--and was rejected--for a job as a kennel pooper-scooper.
Some people would rather be a pooper-scooper than do this work.
So one might have thought that there isn't any job now considered too demeaning for your average American. In fact, there is.Take a trip out to Eastern Washington, where farmers are now hiring for the asparagus harvest, and you will find the same demographic among workers that there's been for years: immigrants, mainly Latino. Mike Gempler, executive director of the Washington Growers League, says native born Americans are not applying for jobs, even while immigrants who drifted toward more lucrative construction work in the Puget Sound area are returning to the farms after the real estate bust.
"There are people who could cut asparagus, but they won't do it," says Rich Schell, owner of Schell's Produce, a small farm in Toppenish. "It's beneath them or whatever."
There are some obvious reasons why: Farm work is seasonal, lasting for only a few weeks or months. And the pay generally does not come with benefits.
Yet the wages are not as low as many people think. Noting that the minimum wage in this state is $8.55 an hour, Schell says, "I laugh when people preach the minimum wage. I can't get anybody to look at us for less than $9 an hour."
While he won't say exactly how much his workers make, citing competitive reasons, a recent state report (see pages 35 and 36 of pdf) shows that farm workers in the Pacific Northwest earn on average $9.85 an hour. Apple, pear and cherry pickers all earn more--up to $16.48 an hour on average.
Sure, that's still not a great wage on which to raise a family. But at least it's more than an $8.55-an-hour pooper-scooper job pays.

How to deal when your partner is constantly out of town. Help and advice pleae?!?!?
As the shock fades the excitement builds and I can't wait to meet my little man!!!
My DH is a truck driver. He is home only 3 days a month if he comes home at all so I understand.
Sadly I hate to say it but you do get used to it. I hated it at first and I HATED being alone. After a few months it became easier. We're coming up on a year now of living like this and while it is very hard the 1st 24 hours he leaves after that me and the boys fall back into our routine and we're ok.
Hang in there!
Just call me Toaster (Old school gone incognito;)
Mom to 2 boys & Baby Girl (Nov 2012)!
Talking on the phone helps to stay on contact, but honestly the best thing to do to help with him being gone is pick up a hobby. Read a lot of good books, take up painting, sewing. Any craft project you can think of. Because you will have a TON of time to yourself, and you will get bored and lonely, but it is a whole lot easier when you fill that time with fun projects.
Now might even be a good time to start working on a baby scrapbook. Or baby blanket if you knit or crochet.
It gets easier over time. And always remember he is coming back.
Like PP, my husband is in the Army and he's doing taining. Sometimes I get to see him on the weekend, but I have to stay with my parents for my pregnancy because Im high risk and don't like the idea of switching doctors half way through. After my husband finishes his training he'll go to our next duty station and we'll see each other when we get the chance. I can't complain because it is our decision to be apart, but it's still not very fun! But I also agree with Toastingparadise, sadly you tend to get used to it. I hope you find a way to make the time go by faster!!! It's hard no matter what, but once you find something to keep you busy it does help!! :)
Mommy&2 girls and now....
Welcoming Baby Boy December 24, 2014.
I know the feeling. DH works on ships, back on Thursday from 6 weeks away, and then after 10 dayshome I won't see him until November.
Skype date nights are great, as are hobbies. My saving grace are written words. Things get forgotten in phone conversations, so most of the deeper conversations are by email or even letters.
This is our first together. I am keeping a diary, pictures, and as much info as I can find for him, so that when we are together, we can share the changes I have been going through.
This is almost our 4th year of this. It does get easier, although I am not sure how we will handle it when our child is here. Lots of skype and video I imagine :(
NRM born on her due date! Dec 2012

My husband is also a truck driver, but usually only gone 3-4 nights per week. We are on the phone constantly, and I will agree, you get used to the lifestyle! Hopefully he will slow down once the baby comes!

A Columbus man arrested in front of his home early Friday is accused of pointing a loaded handgun at his wife and mother-in-law, police said.
Glen D. Fulkerson, 45, of 5232 S. Lincoln Village Drive, was arrested on two counts of intimidation with a deadly weapon as Level 5 felonies and a charge of pointing a loaded firearm, a Level 6 felony.
About 12:40 a.m., officers were sent to Fulkerson's home after dispatchers received a call about a disturbance involving a firearm, according to Columbus Police Department spokesman Sgt. Matt Harris.
When the officers arrived, they saw a man standing on the front steps of the apartment building on the city's far east side, Harris said.
As the man, later identified as Fulkerson, was being searched, investigators discovered a loaded firearm in the waistband of his pants, the police spokesman said.
According to the suspect's wife, Fulkerson had pointed the gun at her and her mother after an argument over a phone, Harris said.
The wife responded by locking herself and the couple's three children in a bedroom before calling police, Harris said.
After being taken to the Bartholomew County Jail, bond was initially set at $500,000, but as of Friday afternoon, a judge ordered that Fulkerson be held for at least 72 hours before bail is considered, according to a jail spokeswoman.
If convicted on the charges, Fulkerson could be sentenced to 30 months to 14 years in prison and fined up to $30,000.
Formal charges, if any, will be determined by the office of Bartholomew County Prosecutor Bill Nash.

"donovanel's new Coconut Grove Page" Coconut Grove by donovanel
Coconut Grove Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 27 photos
I was in Coconut Grove for a week on business (sort of). It was a quaint city with a decent nitelife, and I actually think I prefer it to Miami, except it was lacking on beaches. But it is a nice place to stay and visit if you are in the Miami area.
This picture is in the main square of downtown Coconut Grove with my friend Jill. Yes, we both like to ham it up for the camera. Jill is a very close friend and we definitely have made many trips together--more yet to come!

Many drugs are now, or soon will be available as once-a-day dosing. This is great news, but please be careful to note that they may or may not be able to be dosed at the same time. Some drugs are still "empty stomach" and other "with food." Even though they are both once-a-day doses, the two drugs may have to be taken at different times during the day. This is the case with once-a-day Videx EC (take on an empty stomach) and Viread (take once a day with food). Please check with your provider or pharmacist if you need help with the scheduling of your medication.
Don't forget to take advantage of a pharmacist's knowledge of drugs. It is usually free and most pharmacists are available at any time to help you with any problems that you may have.

UPDATE: "The State Patrol uncovered no evidence to support a conclusion that there was a criminal law violation," by Sanford.
The Seattle Times broke news
UPDATE: "The State Patrol uncovered no evidence to support a conclusion that there was a criminal law violation," by Sanford.
The Seattle Times broke news this morning that Assistant Seattle Police Chief Mike Sanford - who oversees the city's five police precincts - is the subject of an open criminal investigation being conducted by the Washington State Patrol into allegations of official misconduct.
Kevin P. CaseyMike SanfordA source "familiar with the inquiry" tells the Times that "several" captains with the SPD came forward with concerns about Sanford to the U.S. Attorney's Office. These concerns are said to be related to the way Sanford "handled charitable donations solicited from subordinates," according to the Times, in addition to "concerns that Sanford had interfered in a traffic accident involving his daughter." The story also mentions the possibility that Sanford may have worked a private security job while on the clock with the city.
A spokesman with the Washington State Patrol confirmed the investigation to the Times, but said he could not discuss details of the allegations facing Sanford.
From the Times:
Sgt. Sean Whitcomb, Seattle police spokesman, said Tuesday that Police Chief John Diaz "is aware of the investigation" and the department is cooperating to the "full extent possible."Whitcomb said he couldn't comment further.Diaz and Sanford could not be reached for comment.
Whitcomb said he couldn't comment further.
Diaz and Sanford could not be reached for comment.
Sanford was one of the police officers at the center of a recent Seattle Weekly cover story by Nina Shapiro looking into new approaches being taken in some of Seattle's most criminally troubled neighborhoods. A picture caption for that story labels Sanford as "one of a new breed of cop."
Sanford has also been a primary figure in the recent reform attempts being mounted by SPD in the face of the U.S. Department of Justice's report from late last year alleging that SPD has engaged in "unconstitutional policing through a pattern and practice of either excessive uses of force or discriminatory policing."

As said in the title, this is my first attempt at puzzle composition. I don't have an engine, so if you can refute it, I apologise.
Wouldn't 4... Bg4+ be better? well black is still lost there. Nice puzzle.
When the black is prisoned by his own minions, is Qd1+ really the best move to him?
After 3. Bxf6, anything other than 3... Qd1+ oor Qd2+ and black is mated in one.

I can't refute it, and I think it's a wonderful puzzle.
After 6. Rxa8 black basicly has no winning chances.
I also wonder what would happen if white plays 1. Qxf6?
Excellent puzzle!! :D
shoopi wrote:
4. ... Bg4+ allows 5. f3, and if black tries to stop 6. Rh8+ with 5. ... Bc8, then 6. Rh8#
After 5. f3 black will play 5... Bh5 6. g4 etc.
The point is that being a piece down is better than a whole rook down. Of course, black is still lost.
If 1. Qxf6 Bxf6 2. Nxf6 Nxc3!! 3. Nxd7+ Kg7! and white is lost, being a peice down. There's probably another way to come out with more material, but the pressure on h8 is difficult to negate.
I think black can stay down a piece instead of a rook:
After 1. Nxf6 black simply does not recapture on f6.
And if 1. Qxf6 then 1. ... Ke8 2. Rh8+ Bf8.
What move would you suggest for Black after 1. Nxf6?
White has two big threats:
(1) the obvious: 2. Nxd7+
(2) the less obvious 2. Rh8+ Kg7 3. Nh5#
(1) the obvious 2. Nxd7+
I did not see the mate in 2 threat for white.
I wonder if white can win this game with 1. Rh8+?
1. ... Ng8 2. Qg7
and if 2. ... Ke8 3. Qxg8+ Bf8 4. Qxf8#
Does this make mate unavoidable?
If you click 'solution' and then 'move list' I've looked at a couple of variations, including 1. Rh8+ to which black's response is Kg7.
For some reason, I missed 1. ... Kg7.
After looking over everything, I think everything is correct and it's a great puzzle! Thanks for making it up and posting it!
Nice puzzle! Thankx
Yeah, I tried basically everything else, and nothing else seems to work.

I'm looking around for a hybrid and don't want to go higher than $600, but would rather stay at $500. I have a Felt and Giant dealer in town, and was wondering if anyone has experience with the Felt X-City line, specifically the 5 and 6. I'm newly into bicycles so I don't know the difference between parts, and really don't understand what the $50 price difference is.
I'm going to be using it in Pensacola, which is a little hilly compared to the rest of Florida, to commute between my apartment and college. So mostly road/sidewalk stuff, and some off road grass/dirt stuff. No intense trails or anything. I would also like to use it to get me around when running errands. It'll mostly be for travel.
Also, if there are recommendations for similar priced bikes. I'm also looking at the Giant Seek 2. But mostly I want to hear about Felt bikes, since I haven't found much talk of them in this section.

Wilson Jermaine Heredia was born and raised in Brooklyn on December 2, 1971. His mother was a seamstress, his father a super. He has one sister, who is eleven years his minor. Wilson was shy in during his school years and did not get into acting until he…more
In the movie Rent, Wilson performed in Seasons of Love, Rent, Today 4 U, Life Support, Another Day, Will I?, Santa Fe, I'll Cover You, La Vie Boheme, and No Day But Today (alternative ending version).
Wilson's fan email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Wilson says he is very bohemian and lives for his art.
Wilson prefers the RENT movie soundtrack to the Broadway version.
Wilson lived with his RENT costars Adam Pascal, Jesse L. Martin, and Anthony Rapp for a brief period - the four are still close.
You can contact Wilson at:
c/o Paradigm Agency
10100 Santa Monica Blvd #2500
Los Angeles, CA 90067
Wilson Jermaine Heredia: (on why RENT has a profound effect on many different audiences) I think it's because it's about timeless universal themes encompassing real people. These people in the film were all Jonathan's friends. He wrote about his life, he wrote about his friends, his environment. Some of these things happened, and I think people identify with ... if you don't identify with the drag queen you'll identify with Collins' character, if not with Collins's character, you'll identify with Roger. If not Roger, Mimi. There's something in this film for everyone.
Wilson Jermaine Heredia: (when asked about influential people in his career) It may be a cliché, but it would have to say Michael Greif and Jonathan Larson. They definitely inspired me and through example allowed me to learn what this business was about, and also I really have to say ... Jesse [L. Martin], seriously. He really helps me up my game and never let me drop the ball. I learned so much working with this man.

Well, yesterday was a surprise snow day, and just think - no school on Monday either.
We just finished a fabulous story about a family that spent their life sailing on the high seas.
ER thought the story was terrific: "My class and I just read about a girl who has been out at sea her whole life. I loved the story, especially the part when there is a storm and the ship was tipped over on its side and they all thought they were going to die. I am glad the ship stood back up!"
AG wrote; "I can't believe some people would live on a boat. That would be hard, because I would not have a single Slim Jim at all! Another bad thing would be that I get sea sick, plus the kids had to go to school six days a week instead of five. I would hate that (no offense.)
Not everyone loved the story. DF gave it two stars: "There was nothing that interested me." GC thought the parts about the kangaroo falling off the boat and the pig diving into a hot tar pot were unnecessary.
Now we are reading about life in tidal pools ... something Maine children know a lot about.

New guitar
So to begin with, I am a beginner/intermediate guitar player at this point, and I have two guitars. One is a cheap, terrible sounding Squire Strat, the other a Yamaha F325 acoustic. Like I said before, the squire sounds completely awful. The terrible amp it came with doesn't help either. My acoustic, on the other hand, sounds like it could be $400, and I have played friends' guitars two times the price that don't sound anywhere even close when it comes to tone and depth.
Anyways, here's my dilemma. As of late, I have been getting really into finger style acoustic guitar, and it is probably 80% of what I practice nowadays. It's what got me back into guitar after a 2 year hiatus, and it's what has made me really love the acoustic guitar. But, I have also been interested in playing the electric guitar again, but due to my crappy amp/guitar, my progress is little to none with the current rig. After having played my friends' MIM Strat whenever I visit for the past couple of years, I have decided if I am to get an electric, it would be an MIM HSS Fender Strat.
So I have two choices, either get an amp/MIM strat for about 600$ total, or get an acoustic at the 500+ range (I have been looking at seagulls and other more finger style oriented acoustics). I have great interest in both, but the thing is my acoustic guitar is not holding me back at this point. I would upgrade simply because I'm looking for a better tone/more comfortable guitar for my play style. In comparison, my electric is basically unplayable and no fun what so ever. I'm torn between the two, because as much as I would like to get a nice electric and finally start expanding my horizons, my heart lies in finger style acoustic, at least for the time being.
Wow, this was a long post. Sorry for making you read so much, I tend to drag on sometimes. Also, this is my first post on the site, so hello everyone. :)
Thanks for the help ahead of time!
If your acoustic isn't holding you back and your electric and amp are, then that is the way to go - get an electric. This is only if you are equally interested in both electric and acoustic like you say.
you're likely going to have to buy a mim strat anyways but start with just the amp. then plug the squier in it and see if the guitar's really that terrible. because the amps make anything sound bad sometimes. but you should probably still get the mim strat.
Alright, I have pretty much undoubtedly decided on getting the Strat, after much consideration. The new amp will be acquired during the holidays, so I'll give the squire a try (although I won't expect much from it, to be quite honest). Now I'm trying to decide between SSS and HSS, so if anyone has some input on that, it would also be much appreciated. Anyways, thanks for the help everyone.
Maybe this will help....www.youtube.com/watch?v=3URqboPJVoE
I love Guitar and I'm very happy to join this forum to learn about it :)

DP-1 users: forget Sigma hard case
Got one of these, as their price has declined on Amazon. It fits well, looks nice, etc. but there is a fatal flaw (to me:)
it is two pieces! Two pieces that are never connected to each other. So, when you take the top off, you have to have a place to put it.

S.E.N.S.E. as the sixth sense, that incredible feeling of being that is confused and repeats at every step in our lives. Crunchy, like soft, not attributable to the normal senses. Distant and the sensations that make them unique to our experiences in life, as well as in the kitchen. A world of memories and emotions that come to enjoy. And a ravioli looks like a bird in search of food, set in a natural setting, STILL, mystical feel to the palate, as indescribable texture, to feel like to view. S.E.N.S.E. as a study of colors, smells … … bearer of distant views. As the land goes with the sky and on the contrary, so the pot belongs to the ingredients and flavor to its color. A theorem that links the taste for life and flavor sensations, the color vision, and present it to taste. S.E.N.S.E. as EARTH, that we belong to, full of memories and tradition of FREE, as tastes and ideas, which are part of us. The S.E.N.S.E. of life, which shows in what we create, what we are, so to look inward, we can experience the same sensations of all time, and looking from the outside, we can see our unique style, and understand that we are only instill an I, U.S. … The s.e.n.s.o. of our lives, which is reflected in the passion we put into what we do, the art of being that makes us unique and such … .. All this, in my eyes is WAY, and I express it .

This is the first time in my life that I spoke up on a post like this on Facebook. My policy was to just ignore and move on.
Many of my extended family members are devoutly Christian, and Conservatives. So, of course they don't approve of gay marriage.
My Uncle posted this photo:
I commented:
can I "dislike"? I'm sorry and I try to not get political on here. But just a for example from my own personal life. I have a boyfriend whom I have been with for almost 3 years. He lives in this town. My only blood relatives live in Utah and Idaho - I am in Oregon. If I were to have a mental health crisis, my boyfriend can not advocate for me. It has to be a relative. So for a gay couple who cannot marry, that means that the person who loves and cares about them the most, can't be the advocate for them in a moment of crisis. I'm sorry, but that is unfair and wrong. More wrong, in my opinion, than simply loving someone who happens to be the same gender.
Another family member (not the uncle who shared it) commented:
"That's not God's Plan"
I wanted to just walk away, but you ladies here on DT just don't do that. So....I posted this:
If the United States were a majority Muslim religion, would you be okay with women wearing burkas? That is no different than denying rights to someone because of religion.

Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: Planning Group members discussed whether the amount of investment in this area is appropriate when compared to investments in clinical trials and other later stage studies. Invited experts suggested that the current stage of scientific research in ASD requires pre-clinical research to identify targets from animal and cellular models. Similar to cancer treatment development pathways, which spanned 20-30 years, research in ASD must invest in model systems to understand the fundamental biology from which translation to the clinic can be built. The translational validity of research in non-human animals cannot be determined until human trials are conducted, thus the need for rapid progress to clinical studies in humans is important.

Getting Messy with My Sister
View CRAZYGIRLSAM's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from CRAZYGIRLSAM
Monday, May 19, 2014
This weekend I did a 5k race with my sister. I originally had 5 miles on my training schedule but decided to do the 5k with her and figured I could run again on Sunday to make up for it. There have been two different occasions where I was supposed to run races with my sister. One was my first 5K last April that she backed out on because she was pregnant and one in March because my niece was sick. I was a little reluctant to sign up for the race because I thought something might come up again and I�d end up running by myself again. But I figured running a race couldn�t hurt even if I had to do it by myself.
Now my sister goes all out for races. For the Saint Patties Day race we were going to do she bought beads, and light up glasses, and socks with leprechauns on them. For the Slime Run she made custom race shirts with the slogan �Slime Happens� on the front and our names and established dates (the years we were born) on the back. Saturday morning we got up and got my niece ready to go and headed out to the racetrack. We got there at 8am thinking the race started at 9. Turns out it didn�t start until 10am so we had two hours to wait around. As we got closer my sister started to get really nervous thinking we would be the last ones to cross the finish line or that she would need to walk. I told her it didn�t matter we just had to finish and have a great time.
The race went really well for us, we finished in 65 minutes and that includes having to wait at all the obstacles. We ended up waiting almost 20 minutes for the water slide because a lady had lost her wedding ring in the bottom pool and a bunch of kids were trying to find it. They eventually did which was really great. My sister loved the race and can�t wait to do it again next year. I�m not so sure I�ll do it again, the slim kind of felt like snot running down my face and it was really itchy when it dried. Here are some pictures from the race. I�m the one in pink!

A Free Mind
Lent and the Zombie Apocalypse
Temple is a 15-year-old girl born ten years after the zombie apocalypse. No attempt is made to understand or solve the zombie problem. No government has been formed from the survivors, who set up such systems as seem right to them, individually.
Chaos rules. Temple has never known a world where zombies were not part of the landscape, and this gives us a unique perspective in an apocalyptic novel; in this world, zombies are a danger but not a shock.
Temple is a fearless drifter; she moves from place to place to see wonders, or to carry out those tasks she feels called on to perform. In a poignant scene, she comes across a severely retarded man who is running from zombies with his dead grandmother in his arms. She takes it upon herself to get the man—whom she calls "Dummy" until she learns his name (Maury)—to a safe place where he will be looked after.
A wealth of information is conveyed in that name, "Dummy." This is a world where being politically correct doesn't matter, where truth can sound cruel but be kind. Temple is matter-of-fact because that is the only coin that counts in a world of zombies roaming wild.
Early in Temple's travels she encounters the man who becomes her nemesis. Though at odds, he and she understand each other better than any other people on earth. Both are "God-haunted." Both recognize the truth and resolve to do what it takes to "stay right." He wants to kill Temple; she understands and even sympathizes with his reasons, but is not going to let him succeed.
Temple is not simply concerned with survival. In her evasive roaming, we find that Temple is weighed down with grief from her past actions. As we glean in the excerpt, she is capable of feeling joy and wonder. Her overriding desire is to someday see Niagara Falls. As she chatters to the largely speechless Maury, we glimpse the natural personality of a 15-year-old girl emerge every so often.
Part of the appeal of a good apocalyptic story is watching the survivors get over their shock (or succumb, according to their natures) and learning how alternative governments are developed and certain aspects of the status quo are restored.
This book has no such moments.
The world already has "gone to black damnation." Even so there are moments of beauty, contemplation, and suspense—how will Temple elude her nemesis? Will she save Maury? What is that interior evil she feels? This book pulls the reader through the story with a rare intensity, made all the stronger by Alden Bell's lyrical, fluid writing.
The audiobook of The Reapers Are the Angels is narrated with restrained clarity, by Tai Sammons. She seamlessly shifts into accents—from the genteel upper class to hardscrabble Southerners—until the listener forgets that there is only one reader. She does this without altering her voice much and this enhances the book greatly. The print version does not use quotation marks for dialogue and Sammons' narration actually may be easier for some to understand.
This story is ultimately about much larger issues than hordes of wandering zombies, who are less present here than in most monster stories. There is blood aplenty, but the zombies are far less dangerous than what lies within Temple and her pursuer.
The story is not perfect. Some of the plot details are immediately obvious although they take Temple a long time to figure out, which can be a bit frustrating to the reader. Overall the book packs its equal share of surprises, which more than compensate for the failures.
The Reapers Are the Angels looks at wonder, faith, inner demons, and truth. One reviewer called it "like Flannery O'Connor with zombies." Alden Bell is not O'Connor but he communicates many of the same concerns of the soul about which she wrote. The Reapers Are the Angels is a book about listening for God through all the questions and struggles that humans experience. As such, it is prime material for Lenten reflections.
Reader's Note: I would rate this "R" for zombie and human violence. There is some sex, although it is not graphically described, and occasional apocalyptic despair. Portions of this review originally appeared at SFFaudio.

The Green Bay Packers draft needs are pretty well documented, with the leading contenders by position being cornerback and left tackle.

On April 3, 2014, NW3C joined with SymantecTM to launch the VOICE website (www.victimvoice.org). VOICE stands for Victims of Internet Crimes Empowered. This new website serves as a comprehensive, trustworthy resource for both victims of Internet-related crimes and for all people who spend time online. It provides information for victims about steps they should take to protect themselves and their resources in the aftermath of a cybercrime and it offers ways to prevent these crimes in the first place.
According to the 2013 Norton Report, 41 percent of online adults became victims of attacks such as malware, viruses, hacking and scams in 20131. In order to avoid becoming a victim, consumers need to be aware of the great variety of ways criminals will try to reach them online. The VOICE website arms people with this information. The "Get Educated" section of the website features two videos that inform viewers about cybercrimes. The "Prevention" section includes important steps to take to avoid becoming a victim, ways to identify a scam and helpful tips. A helpful FAQ section addresses various commonly asked questions related to cybercrime.
For those who have already been victimized, the website features step-by-step guides, organized around specific scams, that will help minimize the effects of the crime and speed recovery. Contact information for organizations that offer immediate help and support is also included. In addition, the site gives a way for victims to report details about the crime directly to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
"Every day more than a million people fall victim to cybercrime but rarely report the crimes because many believe nothing can be done," said Bill Wright, Director of Cybersecurity Partnerships, Symantec. "While security software serves as the first layer of defense, the VOICE site offers both educational tools for cybercrime prevention along with solutions to help guide victims through the recovery process."
"To make their voices heard, cybercrime victims first need to have access to the right information," said Glen Gainer, NW3C Chairman. "We are thrilled that our partnership with Symantec has enabled us to provide this vital, free online resource for consumers."
For more information, please visit http://www.victimvoice.org/.
The following video (which is also posted on NW3C's YouTube page) features remarks by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island) and Congressman Mac Thornberry (Texas) about the value of the new VOICE website:

Tonight: Hypernova at Studio Seven, The Temptations & The Four Tops at Tulalip Casino"/>
Hypernova, with Abandon Kansas, We Hate The Desert, Blame It On The Girl, The Monostereo. Studio Seven, 110 S. Horton St., 286-1312. 7:30 p.m. $10. All ages. Hypernova could have been arrested for playing their music. In their home country of Iran, Western music is banned from the radio on the basis of moral code, and to imitate it is another crime entirely. They couldn't practice where they'd be heard, and every show held in secret was played at risk of getting locked up or publicly flogged (seriously). But play they did, and if that's not rock and roll, then I don't know what is. Now based in NYC, the foursome released Through the Chaos in April, full of dark, angular dance rock worth every night of sticking it to the man. MARY PAULINE DIAZ
The Temptations & The Four Tops. Tulalip Casino, 10200 Quil Ceda Blvd., Marysville, 360-651-1111. 7 p.m. $45-$65. Eddie Kendricks: Dead. Melvin Franklin: Dead. Paul Williams: Dead. David Ruffin: Dead. Al Bryant: Dead. Otis Williams: Hey, he's still alive! So, as an original member of Motown soul legends the Temptations, Williams gets to keep using the Temptations name while touring the globe with four other dudes you've probably never heard of, performing all those old classics you know and love. Is it a sham, like if Marky Ramone drafted three pals with leather jackets and toured as the Ramones? Maybe. But if you can accept that it's basically just glorified karaoke, you'll probably have a decent enough time singing along to the tunes and watching the synchronized dance moves. Same goes for fellow Motown icons the Four Tops, which also features one surviving original member. MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG

Dueling Divisions: A New Dual Transfer Pricing Method
Kapoor, Manmohan Rai, CMA - the Management Accounting Magazine
When an organization's divisions buy and sell goods between themselves, traditional pricing practices have more often pitted divisions against each other than encouraged them to pull together for the greater good. Here's a dual transfer pricing method designed to end the family feud.
A corporation's transfer pricing policy can give its divisions more autonomy while retaining adequate management control. Transfer pricing, or the pricing of products or services supplied by one division to another division, should accomplish three things. It must always result in goal congruence, or guide division managers to take actions not just in their own interests but for the good of the entire organization. It should ease the fundamental tension between decision-making and control. And it should provide essential information so that managers can make suitable, short-run decisions. An appropriate transfer pricing method can motivate division managers and increase the entire organization's profitability.
But because transfer price represents a cost to the buying division and a source of revenue to the selling division, the interests of the division managers always conflict. There has been no shortage of poor decisions made by corporations using traditional transfer pricing methods. Even the dual transfer pricing method introduced several years ago turned out to contain flaws, perhaps explaining why most large corporations still use traditional methods.
No single transfer pricing technique will suit every organization's needs. But for most domestic transfers of products with a fairly developed intermediate market in which the buyer can seek out alternative suppliers, a modified dual transfer pricing method would enable the organization's divisions to make optimal, short-run decisions and to work toward common goals. This article will analyse traditional transfer pricing approaches and the dual transfer pricing technique, and propose a modification of the latter method. It will also present the contusion of a 1990 study of 132 Fortune 500 companies designed to determine how well their transfer pricing methods met the essential criteria for domestic transfers (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Transfer pricing methods used by Fortune 500 companies in 1990 Pricing methods Domestic transfer prices (Percentage of total) Cost-based transfer prices 46.2 Market-based transfer prices 36.7 Negotiated price 16.6 Other 0.5 Total of all methods 100.0 Source: Tang, Roger Y.W., transfer pricing in the '90s, Management Accounting, February 1992, pp. 22-26.
Traditional transfer pricing models
Cost-based transfer prices - In transferring goods and services between divisions, organizations use many variations of cost-based transfer prices: actual or standard variable cost, full cost, full cost-plus. To evaluate the effects of these transfers, imagine a completely decentralized corporation with two divisions: Division 1 produces and sells X; Division 2 uses X to make Y.
Variable cost - Assume that company policy requires Division 1 to transfer goods and services at a standard variable cost in order to prevent one division's cost inefficiencies from passing to another (Fig. 2).
Suppose Division 1 has idle capacity and suppose the external price for X is $100. If the transfer price for X is set at the standard variable cost of $55 internally, then that price gives the correct signal to Division 2 to buy from Division 1. The need for goal congruence is satisfied: otherwise, each unit of X-purchased externally by Division 2 would mean a cost of $45 for the entire corporation. The price also gives Division 2's manager adequate cost information for short-run decision-making. …

Hitler has a passion for movies - including the products of Hollywood. (Two of his favorites were It Happened One Night and Gone with the Wind.)
William L. Shirer, Berlin Diary, Dec 1, 1940
That was the first bad thing I'd heard about [It Happened One Night]. I was shocked and started to analyze it, but I gave it up. But I resent it like the devil.
Frank Capra, 1941
In an entry from his diary for November 5, 1939, William Shirer makes the following observations, worth quoting at some length.
Hitler is a fiend for films, and on evenings when no important conferences are on or he is not overrunning a country, he spends a couple of hours seeing the latest movies in his private cinema room in the Chancellery. News-reels are a great favorite with him, and in the last weeks he has seen all those taken in the Polish war, including hundreds of thousands of feet which were filmed for the army archives and will never be seen by the public. He likes American films and many never publicly exhibited in Germany are shown him. A few years ago he insisted on having It Happened One Night run several times. Though he is supposed to have a passion for Wagnerian opera, he almost never attends the Opera here in Berlin. He likes the Metropol, which puts on tolerable musical comedies with an emphasis on pretty dancing girls. Recently he had one of the girls who struck his fancy to tea. But only to tea. In the evening, too, he likes to have in Dr. Todt, an imaginative engineer who built the great Autobahn network of two-lane motor roads and later the fortifications of the Westwall. Hitler, rushing to compensate what he thinks is an artistic side that was frustrated by non-recognition in his youthful days in Vienna, has a passion for architects' models and will spend hours fingering them with Dr. Todt. Lately, they say,

LAKEWOOD — Tracking down Victorian finery suitable for a scene in "My Fair Lady" or a German military uniform for a high school theater production can be challenging.
But a trip to the Jefferson Foundation Costume Shop in Lakewood and a visit with Jane Gilmore is often a welcome solution.
Because autumn is the season of school theater productions, it's handy for drama teachers, students or parent volunteers who are looking for an economical way to put realistic outfits on aspiring actors and musicians.
That means the 4,000-square-foot space filled with costumes and props is the place to go for Tricia Spitzer, a Chatfield High School social worker who helps coordinate costumes for the school productions. Last weekend, the drama department produced "Rose of Treason."
Soon Spitzer will be enlisting parent volunteers to help make or find costumes for "Grease."
"I have used the costume shop for about six years. It is critical for the shows I do," she said.
According to Katie Tiernan, executive director of the Jefferson Foundation, the nonprofit became the primary funder of the shop in 2010-11, when it was cut from the Jefferson County Public Schools budget.
"As resourceful as our schools are, they could never afford the professional-quality theater programs many are known for without the costume shop," Tiernan said.
Tiernan said with a budget of $11,000 annually, to cover the cost of cleaning and repairing costumes and paying for facility maintenance and utilities, the foundation is still raising funds to cover the 2012- 13 budget.
Without donations and community support, the shop will close.
Marcella Hanna, a teacher of English, speech and drama at D'Evelyn Junior-Senior High School, said she used the shop last year for a production of "Oklahoma!"
"I needed more dresses and cowboy boots than I had in my own costume room. In the past, I have borrowed Elizabethan-style dresses and men's vests and knee breeches for 'Kiss Me Kate' and ball gowns for the party scene in 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' " Hanna said.
Tiernan said the foundation has opened the shop to community members for a small donation.
