1. It is Monday alright.
2. I hear that the hurricane is supposed to bring warm temparatures (double digit) to SK.
3. Somehow it's not bothering me yet, that it's winter already.
4. I think because it was so warm through September.
5. So freaky about the flu shots being stopped.
6. The only reason we didn't get them is because I couldn't find my health care card (and I didn't want to bring the kids in and then later have to go again).
7. I hope it's warm enough to enjoy going out trick or treating.
8. I guess Jay would go regardlessly, but it'd be nice to take Lily too.
9. I didn't clean at all yesterday (my day I usually do it all).
10. Nice to take it off, but it'd be nice to have a clean house too.
Have a great week all!

|Fall Child Safety Tips from WCSC
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Window Coverings Safety Council
|Monday, 10 September 2012 13:59
Tips to Create a Safe Environment in the Classroom
As summer comes to a close, early childhood education professionals are busy gearing up for the little ones. In addition to developing new reading lists and homework assignments, many teachers are also investing their time in classroom safety. According to Safe Kids USA, an estimated 14 million children are unintentionally injured each year – with as many as 25 percent of those incidents occurring in and around schools. Educational leaders can prevent some of these incidents by childproofing all classrooms to help eliminate potential hazards.
Parents Reminded to Check Their Window Coverings
The Window Covering Safety Council is reminding parents and caregivers of potential window-cord dangers and urging them to make the right choice and only use cordless window products in homes with young children.
A Safe and Happy Holiday Season
The fall and winter holidays are just around the corner. Families will reunite and make wonderful memories while trick-or-treating or enjoying festive meals. But the season can also pose potential safety hazards for young children.
Easy Steps to Prevent Window-Cord Accidents
The accidental strangulation of infants and young children in the cords of window blinds, shades and drapes continues to be an issue, with both inner and pull cords remaining a concern for today's busy parents.

Duncan's Introductions at the Poetry Center, San Francisco State University
Robert Duncan and Jess Collins lived at Banabulfar on the northwest coast of Mallorca from March 1955 to March 1956. They made one trip to continental Europe; in December 1955 they went to Paris, where Duncan wrote the final poem of the book Letters, and then in January 1956 to London, where Duncan wrote the first version of "Often I Am Permitted to Return to a Meadow," or the beginning of The Opening of the Field. While on Mallorca Duncan and Jess knew Robert Creeley, and finished a book of poems and collages, Caesar's Gate, which was then published by Creeley's Divers Press in Palma. Charles Olson wrote to Duncan offering a teaching position at Black Mountain College, so he and Jess cut short their European adventure and went to North Carolina for the spring and summer terms-as it turned out, the final terms of the college. Duncan stayed on until the end of August to see his play, "Medea at Kolchis: The Maidenhead," produced at the college, while Jess went to San Francisco to find an apartment. In September 1956, Duncan began work as assistant director of the Poetry Center, San Francisco State University.
Duncan wanted to line up his contemporaries, poets who shared his vision of the possibilities of open composition. On the way to Mallorca, Duncan and Jess stopped at Black Mountain College for a one night visit with Charles Olson; and in New York City, waiting for clearance to sail, they met Denise Levertov. When Duncan took up his duties at the Poetry Center he had worked through a myriad of influences, tamed the overly rhetorical style of his early books, and had begun formulating a poetics of collage in writing that allowed the poet to participate in the open field of his own composition. He had finished writing Letters, and begun writing The Opening of the Field not as a collection of separate poems but as a coherent book. He had met and initiated correspondences with the poets whom he counted as his principal contemporaries: Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Denise Levertov. He already knew the poetry scene in San Francisco, with Kenneth Rexroth setting the standards of taste at his Friday night meetings and editorial broadcasts on KPFA. Madeline Gleason, William Everson, Jack Spicer, and Helen Adam were part of his immediate circle of friends. At the Poetry Center he quickly recognized that there was more to the poetry scene than reading poems. Much to his dismay, he learned that publicity, promotion, and inevitable political maneuvering were also part of the scene-they were not so much behind the scenes, but so much a part of the daily operation of the Center that by early spring of 1957 he welcomed his resignation from the position effective July 1, 1957.
With the exception of those for Richard Wilbur, Robert Lowell, Jean Garrigue, James Keilty, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso, the statements Duncan wrote for the printed handouts for the readings, both while he was assistant director and after he resigned, defined his closest associates in poetry and lined out his idea of the literary (poetic) history of San Francisco. Charles Olson came to San Francisco in February 1957 to give the lectures that would become the book, A Special View of History. He also gave a reading, which gave Duncan the opening to introduce Olson to the San Francisco audience. Robert Creeley was already known by that audience, but when Duncan wrote his introduction for the reading in July of 1959, Creeley was already launched on a course of writing that lead to the great success of his book For Love ( 1962). Rexroth had discovered Denise Levertov as a young British poet in 1949, but Duncan found her poems in Origin and then sent her his poem "For a Muse Meant," which became the first poem of Letters, and which Levertov took as criticism not as the praise Duncan intended. Her reading in January of 1958 was a triumph, not only because both Duncan and Levertov managed the complications of Rexroth's poetry-politics, but because the San Francisco audience responded enthusiastically to the passionate, projective thrust of her poems. …

Thank you for the common-sense comments in the September 21 issue ["Why Many Customers Still Don't Feel Appreciated," by David Orgel, Viewpoints, Page 10]. One of the simplest ways for a retailer to let customers know their business is appreciated is to carry out an in-store survey. Ask what changes or improvements are needed or which products or brands are missing. This is not rocket science. What is baffling is the preference of many retailers to fiddle with loyalty card data — which ...

The Stories:
PART I: A neighborhood's rebirth
PART II: "The hill" born, torn
Video 1: The History of Sun Valley
The residents of Sun Valley remember its history and reflect on the present-day neighborhood.
Video 2: The future of Sun Valley
Residents of Sun Valley discuss the history of their relationship with the city and the changes the neighborhood faces in the future.
Sun Valley Photo Gallery
For years, residents have complained they are the stepchildren of the city, overlooked and neglected. Over time, they have learned to fight to improve the neighborhood. The redevelopment of their neighborhood with the coming of light rail will be their biggest challenge yet.
Something occurs in a place where so much poverty has been concentrated. Particularly in a place that has been cut off from other working- or middle-class families and where millions of dollars have been spent to help people survive, but scant attention has been given to an environment that will allow them to thrive.
Sun Valley has no nearby jobs for residents, most of whom have no cars. It doesn't have enough affordable child care. It has no neighborhood-serving businesses. No grocery store outside a small market that sells strollers and sandwiches and diapers, $1 for two. A 7-Eleven and Family Dollar store sit up on Federal.
Something happens in a place where most streets dead-end.
An isolated community becomes an insular community. It becomes a community of us versus them, a place where suspicion of outsiders and the institutions they represent runs deep.
Norms reset. They reset to accommodate single parenthood and dropping out of high school and government dependency and violence.
"My dad was out of the picture, that's how it was with all my friends," Roybal says. "Just witnessing violence, being young, being jumped into a gang, and we would think that's normal. You get the crap kicked out of you just to hang out with the big boys. And then you go to school, and it's like, 'Wait a minute, you're saying this isn't normal?' And it messes with your head. . . . Some people here are so oppressed, they don't have life in them to live."
I go see Norma Giron, principal of Fairview Elementary School, which sits in the heart of residential Sun Valley. Fairview is more than a school in the neighborhood. It is an anchor and a haven. Its teachers are counselors, coaches and mentors to children and their parents. It's not a strong school academically, but its students are showing growth. When Giron arrived to take the school's helm 11 years ago, she was horrified to discover one-third of the student body had been shuffled into special education.
How does the poverty and isolation here impact the school, I ask her.
"Oh, my God," she says. "In every way. Everyone needs models of what else there is. . . . Our kids don't see what's possible. If you ask them what they want, they can't describe it. We had the word 'driveway' as one of our vocabulary words, and they didn't know what it was.
"Our students are streetwise. They know where the bad houses are. They know who is safe. They talk openly about that drug house or that gang member. They live with dramatic experiences, watching family members get arrested, watching women get beat up. It just takes their innocence."
Sun Valley has existed more or less in its current form for at least 30 years — long after public officials and policymakers recognized that such concentrated poverty was toxic for the people who lived amid it and the cities that allowed it to persist. Yet it has persisted. Out of neglect. Or the lack of resources and political will. It persists because Sun Valley represents in pure form the daunting legacy of social and economic segregation and the challenge of providing economic and educational opportunity to the neediest among us.
"There's no question that Sun Valley has always been the most difficult project to understand and to deal with," says Sal Carpio, a former city councilman who was executive director of DHA from 1994 to 2006. "It is a whole different world."
The easy thing to do would be to demolish the projects and relocate the tenants. Give them a choice between housing projects that are less isolated or vouchers to allow them to rent on the open market. End their isolation. Let the market dictate what fills in the 30 acres now occupied by Sun Valley Homes.
But for most of this neighborhood's history, the city has done what's easy here — with disastrous results. The fact is the needs in Sun Valley are a more magnified form of the needs in Westwood, in Villa Park, in Elyria- Swansea: a healthy environment with easy access to good jobs with benefits and strong neighborhood schools and services.
"Sun Valley is very hard. But if we can figure out how to do this right, we can figure out how to do all kinds of things right," says developer Bill Mosher, a former chair of DHA's board of commissioners.
To do this neighborhood right, or, more to the point, to do right by this neighborhood, you first need to know how, over many years, it's been done wrong.

Melilla, 4 cultures, and this is the place where everybody wants to feel but nobody knows where it is, part of the population is christian, part muslim, and some hindi and hebrew, also gipsies, chinese, pakistanian and black african living there.
Surprise means the most cosmopolitan city.
Part of my family was living there and my great grandfather has a street dedicated to hismemory and heritage.
Like Malta or Minorca, Melilla has a big bastion to protect all the attacks from the north african tribus.
Melilla was a Territory of the Hispaniarum provintia during the roman empire, and is the only part which still belong to Spain, as other region of Spain
A 50,000 inhabitants city, where you can almost go walking everywhere, in 12 square kilometer, In the border line, the places are isolated
- Pros:The last original city of the Mediterranean sea
- Cons:Spain, with african problems

Just curious as to what temperature you all turn the heat on at?
Its 63 in the bedroom w/ a draft
and 65 in the living room where the baby sleeps (don't ask. Too hot in his room during the summer)
Baby took his pants off and then passed out... not very good about keeping blankets on either so I may put a heater out there shortly just because I know the temp will prop. drop more.
Bedroom would be/will be comfy once SO comes to bed and we get some cuddlin' going on.

GeoAge Makes Data Collection Faster for Alltel Wireless Customers
Software empowers users to link time, location information using GPS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alltel Wireless (NYSE: AT) customers now can build and deploy their own data collection forms using the UT Starcom™ PPC 6700. The software, created by GeoAge Inc., eliminates the need for paper forms and dramatically improves the quality and accuracy of data collected in the field.
"The ability to collect and transmit information using digital forms eliminates the errors and inefficiency associated with traditional paperwork"
The Field Adapted Survey Toolkit (FAST) software allows users to customize data collection forms to their specific needs. Employing "drag and drop" tools, customers build their own forms, which can be used to collect data with a minimum of typing. Information can then be shared among mobile devices in a way that ensures consistent and legible data entry and eliminates errors associated with re-keying.
"The ability to collect and transmit information using digital forms eliminates the errors and inefficiency associated with traditional paperwork," said Elisabeth Owen, president of business solutions for Alltel Wireless. "The GeoAge software is a terrific productivity enhancing tool for Alltel's enterprise customers."
GeoAge maintains an extensive library of mobile data collection templates for various industries, including those used for opinion surveys, sales tracking, emergency management, facility management, and more.
FAST also integrates Global Positioning System (GPS) information and digital photographs with the forms. This allows data to be instantly mapped on a desktop or over the Web.
"Looking at data geographically can provide understanding that may not otherwise be realized," said Jeff Arnold, president of GeoAge. "It enables organizations to know what is happening and where it is happening and then to react quickly and effectively."
Fast is available on the UT Starcom PPC 6700 through the Alltel Wireless business channel. Interested customers should call 1-877-BIZ-CNTR.
About GeoAge
GeoAge was founded by Dr. J. David Lambert, Dr. John Alexander and Dr. Gerald Merckel at the University of North Florida.

Reasons for the Seasons
Jeff Thomas, Central Connecticut State University
The inquiry method and meteorological and astronomical online data can be used to elicit the inconsistencies of students' naïve ideas about the "real" reasons for the seasons. The first phase of this two-part investigation uses online meteorological data to identify factors that might explain differences of seasonal temperatures among cities These factors are used to hypothesize why differences of seasonal temperatures occur among cities. During the second phase, the variables and hypotheses that were previously identified in part one are used to design and conduct an inquiry-oriented investigation. Astronomical data is used as part of the investigation to "test" students' hypotheses— conclusions are drawn then communicated.

Asbestos award
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz has found that the estate of a Milwaukee man is entitled to a $1.1 million award made by a jury in an ambiguous verdict last July.
Sankovitz, who noted that he has presided over 200 trials, said this is the first time he ever had to modify a jury verdict.
"It is unusual for a court to overturn or even tinker with a jury verdict because if there is any credible evidence in the record, even if it appears to us from our own vantage points that most of the evidence supports a different verdict, the jury's verdict must be upheld," Sankovitz said.
The problem in the case was that the instructions to the jury were unclear, he said.
"The lawyers and I should take the blame, not the jury," Sankovitz said.
The case involved Steven Lemberger, 55, who died three months after filing a lawsuit in August 2005 that blamed his fatal illness on mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers that were in the air of two local businesses where he worked. By the time of the trial, the only defendants in the case were the makers of brake linings that were ground in his workplace - General Motors and Honeywell International, the successor of Bendix Commercial Systems and their insurers.
One of the complications of the trial was that Lemberger suffered from two forms of cancer: mesothelioma, caused by asbestos, and the kind caused by smoking tobacco. According to testimony, Lemberger was a heavy smoker for many years.
Unlike a criminal case where verdicts are guilt or innocence, civil cases can be far more nuanced and this case was especially difficult. The jury had to answer more than 10 questions after listening to two weeks of testimony.
The jury's answers to two of the questions appeared to be in conflict - that his death was caused by mesothelioma and that Lemberger was 95% responsible for his illness.
"There is no evidence that he (Lemberger) was negligent in the way that he handled asbestos products or worked in their vicinity," Sankovitz said in his ruling. "The evidence reveals no reason he ever would have had to suspect that he was breathing in a carcinogen."
If Lemberger was responsible for his own death, his widow, Colleen, would not have collected the jury award.
Sankovitz said the jury was able to distinguish that Lemberger had two forms of cancer -- they found that half his medical expenses and lost wages were caused by mesothelioma.
"I believe the jury concluded that the defendants, whose products were a cause of his mesothelioma, should not be required to pay for medical expenses or lost wages that resulted from his lung cancer," Sankovitz found.
While there have been a number of cases involving causing the disease among workers who were in direct contact with asbestos, this is one of the first cases locally where the plaintiff worked around asbestos but may not have handled it.

Cannot type French accents
Thu Jan 09, 2014 12:43 pm
I have a french keyboard with Greek localisation in KDE 4.10.5 and Mageia 3 64bit
Since many years i am not able to type accents for French letters in KDE/qt applications .
In Firefox and Libreoffice i am able to type accents without any problem
In Greek i can type accents without any problem
i installed the ibus-qt4 without succes, it did nt change anything in my problem
I can type the accents like:
^e ^u ^o
The same for the ¨ i type ¨ and after the letter but nothing happens (no output), i press a second time the letter and i see only the letter without the accent
In Libreoffice it works

http://userbase.kde.org/ComposeKey#Curr ... figuration
afaik the only deadkeys supported by XOrg would be grave, acute and circumflex - LO/OOo may have it's own key composition scheme based upon the used language, but since Ä would be composed by "+A, i assume this sucks as you'd to type '" A' to get '"A'?

No, i don't take any result when i type « ¨ + A »
Re: Cannot type French accents
Thu Jan 09, 2014 8:50 pm
I fear we're talking past each other.
To turn a key sequence into another (eg. diacretic) character, one requires a "compose key" - which does no longer exist on modern keyboards.
A reasonable approach is it to map it to the otherwise useless caps/lock key - by adding "compose:caps" to XkbOptions - i'm not aware of a key to generate the dicretic "¨" and the only xkb options i know in this regard are "deadgrave", "deadacute", "deadcircumflex".
I don't know about ibus behavior, but would suggest to just try "kwrite --noxim"
If that helps you, you can "export QT_NO_IM=1" in a ~/.kde/env scriptlet

So it is a setting of my user
The "kwrite --noxim" did n't work
any idea where can be hidden this setting ?

kcmshell4 keyboard or qtconfig[-qt4], for the latter the default input method or xim style (Interface tab)
but that's just a very wild guess w/o an idea what's broken (since i apparently compose keys differently

Re: Cannot type French accents
Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:35 am
I launched the qtconfig, and in the tab interface, in the section 'Default input method' i chose 'ibus'
Now i can type accents normally!
I have a message in the terminal when launching qtconfig but i don't see any problem:
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/dglent/.config/ibus/bus

If you have another idea for the sticky post, let me know
And by popular request, birth stories from the dad's point of view (Please add yours in the comments)
I made this post on my birthclub for my daughter's one year birthday. it was a serial the week before her birthday in which I added a new day every day. Here it is:
Reliving the week in which my life changed for the better.
10/21/2009 -- Wednesday
Absolutely nothing important happened. Its also the last day I can ever say that. As far as we knew a year ago, Shoshana still had a good 7 weeks to go before she would be born. But that would all change soon.
It was a typical day. I worked on several cases and probably got home at a reasonable time for dinner.
10/22/2009 -- Thursday
Today started out as a typical day. Get up, go to work, come home. And then things changed.
While walking to the train, I always call home to let Michelle know I was leaving and find out if there was anything I needed to pick up. But this call was different. Michelle told me she had some bleeding when she went to the bathroom, but it stopped and she had some light spotting.
My first instinct as a BBC dad-to-be was to get onto the birth-board and post a poll about it (after running a search, of course). OK, maybe not. This was not her first bleeding incident, she had a subchorionic hematoma back in April, so I was not completely panicked. Yes, there was blood, but it had stopped. So I told her to call the doctor. Personally, I thought it was hemorrhoids, but better safe then sorry.
When I got off the phone, I did eventually ask Lortab about it. Here is what I asked:
Yes, we already called the doctor and then want to see Michelle tomorrow just to check. So when I called Michelle on my way home, she mentioned that she was bleeding a little when going to the bathroom today and then had some spotting. First response was to tell her to call the doctor (why she waited until after they closed is beyond me when she said she knew I was going to say call the doctor). I am assuming this is probably nothing. Any ideas on what it might be? She did mentioning pushing a lot when making a bowel movement today. She is 33 1/2 weeks.
As I said, the bleeding had stopped and did not resume. We thought everything was just fine. Boy, were we wrong . . .
10/23/2009 -- Friday (Second attempt as first got deleted right after spell checking).
Things seemed fine in the morning. No bleeding or spotting and Michelle had her appointment around noon. I offered to stay home and go to the doctor with her, but since neither of thought it was anything, she told me to go to work, which I did.
Although I was not worried -- I truly thought it was was bleeding from a hemorrhoid -- I soon became a little nervous. When checking BBC at lunch, I saw a post on the Board from an April 2009 Mom giving a warning about making sure to follow your instincts. She had some minor bleeding that was nothing (sound familiar) and then a placental abruption the next week (fortunately she made it to the hospital in time). Of course her post (long and linked below) was not reassuring.
Nor was the call soon after that when Michelle said she was being attached to some monitors (I thinks fetal heart monitor) but had to get off the phone. I was definitely concerned and wish I had insisted on staying home and made the following post:
She is at the doctor right now and just had to get off the phone to get connected to some monitor. Of course, I had to read the post on the December Board of the lady from April who had placental abruption with the first symptom being just a little bit of blood. So now I am totally paranoid and wish I insisted to her that I stay home and go to the doctor with her.
I'll let everyone know when I hear anything.
As it turns out, the baby was fine, but she was 1cm dilated. They told her to got to L&D. Our initial plan was she would drive herself immediately, I would take the train to New Brunswick and walk to the hospital. I grab my blackberry and brief case, turn of the computer and leave (just telling my secretary that I had to go). By the time I reach Penn Station, we have a better plan. She is going to go home and eat lunch (why rush in an emergency) and her mother would drive her while I would go to my regular train stop to get my car. In hindsight, lunch was a good idea, but it the idea of waiting drove me crazy (remember, placental abruption story) and I just missed my train and had to wait an hour. When I got to the train station, I realized I did not know a fast way to get to the hospital. But fortunately, I had navigation.
In the mean time, Michelle eats lunch and her mother picks her up. When she gets to the hospital they connect her up to monitors and, although she is not feeling a thing, is having contractions. In fact, her contractions on the monitor are the same as a women nearby in active labor. She is admitted.
I finally get to the hospital (3 hour trip door to door) just in time for an internal exam. They give her Terbutaline at 6:00 and 6:20, which stops the contractions. They think she is not really in labor, but it is the uterus reacting to a third SCH. But they cannot find it on the u/s. She is admitted and will be staying the night.
I head out to pick up dinner (the hospital kitchen closed) and pack bags for us (she is at 33 weeks, 2 days, so we never thought to do so, but it was on my to do list for the weekend). I spend the night and learn just how uncomfortable the char/bed is (although I learned they are more comfortable if you lay on your side then on your back). We spend a lot of time watching the heartbeat monitor.
I manage to get a quick catnap or 2, but I am woken at around 2:00 in the morning by Michelle and the nurse talking. The contractions have come back and she is given Terbutaline again (at 2:00 and 2:20) to stop them. Again, she does not feel the contractions.
The doctors have a new theory. They now think it might be a UTI because there is some bacteria in her urine. To treat it, they give her an antibiotic.
I get a little sleep. I am not sure Michelle gets any. But how bad can things be. She is only 33+ weeks pregnant. If they thought she was going to give birth, I thought, wouldn't they give her the steroid shot to promote lung growth . . .
October 24 (Saturday)
After the 2:00 am rounds of shots, things seem to have calmed down with no more contractions. We were greeted in the morning by one of Michelle's favorite OBs. He decided to bring in a maternal-fetal specialist, who soon came by. He gave a very detailed u/s (always fun to watch) but did not find anything wrong. Despite that, he was convinced there was some bleeding from the placenta (he said it could not be seen 25% of the time). But, he was pretty sure it had stopped.
Our regular doctor came back with to talk to us with a big announcement. There was going to be a change in strategy because of the suspected placental bleed. Michelle was going to be given the steroid shot to promote lung development. That would require another overnight because she would need another on Sunday. And our new goal was 36 weeks ( 2 1?2 weeks away). Once we got there, they would probably just induce. And if labor started up again before then, they were no longer going to stop labor. If the baby wanted to come, she was going to come.
The good news is everything seems stable. The bad news is the maternal-fetal specialist is pretty sure there was some small bleed associated with the placenta and they are worried about an abruption in the future. She is going to be given steroids today and tomorrow, so another night in the hospital. They are also not going to give any more drugs to stop labor. Instead, if the body says it is time, they want to know and decide then what to do. A little stressful, but still having good thoughts. And still much better then when she was here for the ruptured ectopic.
After being stabilized for awhile (no contractions but still a lot of uterine contractions), we moved out of L&D (which had really nice rooms) to the overflow ante-partum section. The strange thing was, there were no kids there, just a bunch of high risk mothers. But it was still a private room so I would stay the night.
Everything went well, except for one more curve ball. While Michelle was not being placed on bed rest, she was going to be confined to the house and on limited movement. No more gym. This was a big thing and her being told not to go to the gym at the beginning of her pregnancy led to my first post ( http://community.babycenter.com/post/a8398935/dad_to_be_with_a_question)
And someone had to stay home with her. Our initial plan was I would spend the next week at home. But I would then have to go to work. For the following week, either my mother would drive up from Florida or my father would fly up. And after that would be 36 weeks and D-day.
As for the rest of the day and night, we were watching the clock and waiting for 48 hours to be up so that we knew the steroid shot would have enough time. . .
10/25/2009 -- Sunday
Not much happened to day. My fantasy football team won. I think I was 6-1 and in first place. And I then lost every other game that season. As not much happened (and I have all day meetings), here is my post from a year ago (with an addition at the end)
Today, she got her second shot and was able to take a shower so she felt human. The gave her a NST, no contractions, still irritable uterus. They also looked at the blood test results and found none of Babysaurus' blood. This was good because it meant that if there was a placental abruption, it was very minor with very little blood transfer.
She was discharged and we are now home. The doctors are very concerned about a placental abruption and the goal right now is to make it to 36 weeks (November 10) to avoid NICU. Because of that, Pregasaurus is basically on home confinement -- very limited trips out of the house are all that is allowed. I will be taking the week off and will run all her errands and, if necessary, my parents will come up to help the following week.
That night I go to be thinking how hard can it be to do eveything Michelle normally does in a day.
October 26, 2009 -- Monday
So how hard can it be to stay home and run a few errands. The early morning was okay. We were in the middle of home renovations (kitchen, laundry room, entry way, stair, landing and nursey -- nothing major) that was expected to be done the end of November (just in time for Babysaurus's original ETA). Fortunately, the contractor likes Michelle and became very protective. They refused to do any work unless she was sitting. This forced her to follow the doctor's orders and do nothing.
As for me, how hard of a day could it be. I had to go to two furniture stores, Walmart, pharmacy and pick up dinner. It seemed like a light day so I also wanted to go look at cars since my little red convertible -- even with its back seat -- was not going to cut it once the baby came.
I quickly became disillusioned. First where the phone calls that had to be made. Then, I found out that nothing is all that close to each other. And traffic was muder. It took all day. On the puls side, I liked thekitchen table that we had found Michelle had found. I picked up the samples and promised that I would return them on Wendesday. I had my first trip to Walmart, and it was actually a pretty enjoyable experience:
I was serious about Walmart. I was carrying my garbage bags to the check out area and someone asks me if I was done shopping. I said yes and they said meet them at register 1 and she would check me out. I have gotten good service at stores (notably Nordstroms), but no one ever searched me out so they could ring up my order.
Of course, I was told this was not normal
Posted 10/27/2009
I can assure you, that was a fluke. Go back at night or on a Saturday afternoon sometime.
I somehow survived the traffic and the long distances between everything. I also leanred why Michelle always ate lunch so late, it is impossible to eat eariler if you are running errands. I also managed to get some work calls in. And I test drove one car and decided that I would buy it. I just had to get Michelle in the loop. She had already test drove the model. But she does all the car negotiations.
Michelle, on the other hand, was not happy with home confinement. The contractors kept her sitting the whole day and she was going stir crazy. We went out for dinner (sitting at a restaurant seemed the same as sitting at home).
As I get ready for bed that night, I realized I had survived a day at home. I also realized that we had passed the 48 hour mark for the steroid shot so Babysaurus would be able to breath. And tomorrow was scheduled to be the one of the most exciting days a father to be could have . . .
10/27/2009 -- Tuesday
As you all know, I get annoyed with the use of male stereotypes on BBC. That being said, some of them are true. And this is one of them. Men want to buy things for their children. Not necessarily to spoil them, but to buy them (we also like doing it for our wife). And today was my day to do just that.
We had nothing in the house for Shoshana. There was no baby shower -- and would be none. As a general matter, there is a Jewish superstition against buying something for the baby in advance. If you do, bad things will happen. So we had nothing. We had gone to the store and ordered some furniture, but it would not arrive until after the EDD (and technically, we used someone else's credit card). Same with the Layette set. We had picked out some things, but it was all in the store and the deposit was on my in-law's credit card.
This might be acceptable with 6 weeks until delivery. But it was not going to work with a baby coming in 2 weeks, if we were luck (Michelle was "exactly" 34 weeks pregnant today). How could we take the baby home with no car seat? How could we put the baby to bed without a pack-n-play? Or feed her without a bottle?
Today was the day to rectify that problem. I was going shopping. And not just any store, but to BuyBuy Baby, my favorite baby store. Michelle had called the store the day before and they were going to give me the 10% off coupon to finish the registry even though we had not yet gotten it in the mail. In fact, they were going to apply the coupon to items that normally would be been excluded (How could I not love the store. And this is the one in Paramus for all you NJ/NY readers. Go there, it is great and worth the trip). We had some things picked out together from past visits (stroller and car seat). But for the most part, I had my credit card and I would be on my own.
After getting up and making sure that Michelle would be nothing but sit and watch the contractors, I got ready for my hour drive up in her SUV (there is no way this stuff would fit in the convertible even if I put the top down. I stopped at the pharmacy to pick up the medicine that they did not have yesterday and drove to the store. I was like a kid in a candy store -- Or a dad in a baby store. I looked, I compared, I picked. Do I need a swing, a vibrating seat and a bouncy seat? Yes to the first two, no to the last. Which bottle do I want? (Playtex, wide dropins). Besides the big items, I had 2 shopping carts full of stuff. I call Michelle to describe what I bought and she is to busy dealing with the contractors (still sitting) to talk. So I go to a nearby diner (this is NJ) and get lunch (As an aside and a further plug, it is the Suburban Diner in Paramus (actually before BuyBuyBaby) and we go there every time we go up with Shoshana as they are very child friendly and have really good food).
After lunch I call Michelle and describe every item in the shopping carts. She also was checking them out on the Internet. Most met her approval, but she did make me put back the matching sleep sheep -- one for the crib and one for the stroller. A store employee then loaded up the SUV. I'm not sure how it all fit, but I could not see anything using the rear view mirror. Mission Accomplished.
Of course, we now have an issue. We have tempted fate by buying stuff. We could not take it home. So go to my in-laws house and unload everything except one car seat (actually, it might have been both, but I think it is one). That one I take home and leave in the garage. I have plans on Thursday to be to the Police Department to have them install it in Michelle's car. My mother in law was not happy about that (or the fact I used by own credit card to buy stuff):
My [mother-in-law] actually had a bit of a fit that I was taking the carseats so that I could install them and get them checked by the police before Babysaurus comes. She actually wanted me to wait until after the birth, but I said that was not an option because it takes time to get an appointment.
At least one person felt sorry for me that I had to do all this myself. Personally, I loved it:
ultrasara · Pass a Note!
Posted 10/27/2009
I am excited that you filled 2 shopping carts full of stuff, but it really makes me want to have an internet shower for you so I can buy you something for the baby. I feel bad that you had to do all that yourself.
Michelle's Husband
Posted 10/27/2009
I loved every moment of it. I was still beaming as I dropped it off.
I get home and world has not ended. No sign of the baby coming, no bleeding, we had a car seat (although no installed), the construction was moving forward and we had a follow-up appointment scheduled for tomorrow for the doctor to tell us how perfect everything was going . . .
October 28, 2009 -- Wendesday
When Pregasaurus woke me up on Wednesday (around 7:10), I told her to let me sleep 15 more minutes. She said that might not be a good idea because there was some blood when she wiped and she thought her water broke (sometime between 3:30 and 5:00 in the morning). Needless to say, I only slept for 10 more minutes instead of 15 (j/k, I got right up). I asked her why she waited to wake me up. She said she wanted to take a shower and do her hair. I thought that was crazy, but every nurse at the hospital I mentioned this to (including the NICU nurses), said they did the same thing.
So I showered, got dressed, went to the WaWa for coffee and a breakfast sandwich (I did not expect to eat for a while). She called the doctor at 8:30 who said go to L&D. We finished packing our hospital bags (it was on my list of things to do Wednesday so good timing there) and left for the hospital soon after that.
We turned on the alarm, locked the door and started to drive. We managed to drive for about a minute before we rememberd that the construction company was not having a baby and was going to come. I turned around while Pregasaurus called the construction company. I unlocked the door, turned of f the alarm and left the back door open for the construction company. And we left of the hospital (again).
Not much traffic on the way to the hospital (surprising at that time of day). About halfway there, an ambulance with lights on was coming up behind me. I got out of the way and then right behind it, following it all the way to the hospital.
We had a couple of issues on the drive. First, I leanred that it was very difficult to time contractions while driving. It is even more difficult when you wife does not tell you when she is having one because she does not want to distract you.
Second, the ambulance I was following decided to run a red light (his light and siren was on). I decided to stop, not wanting to get a ticket or in an accident. Fortunately, I was able to quickly catch up to the ambulance and got my spot right behind it. It got me almost all the way to the hosptial before the ambulance headed for the other hosptial right by the one we were going to.
During the drive, I called my mother to give her the heads up that she might have to come up today (she lives in Florida). My father was already up because he commutes to NY from Florida (one week up, one week home).
By the time we get to the hospital, contractions are about 30 seconds long, 10 minutes apart. I'm not exactly sure because Pregasaurus did not want to disturb me too much while I was driving).
I did have my blackberry with me. And like any good BBC member I posted an update.
Good thing I went to Buy Buy Baby yesterday
She soon got a room and was hooked up to monitors. Contractions got a lot closer together (about 3 or 4 minutes apart).
The doctor then came it. There were 5 doctors in the group and this was Pregasaurus' favorite dcotor (Dr. L). If she had to choose the doctor for the deliver, he was the one. I don't remember what time he was going off shift (it was some time in the afternoon) but Michelle said she wanted to be done by then so he could do the delivery.
Dr. L did an exam, and said she was 2 centimeters dilated. Because of how early she was (34 weeks, 1 day), the doctor initially said he was going to do a wait and see approach -- not actively do anything to assist labor until she was more dilated. He left, but must have looked at the monitors, because he came back in 2 minutes saying he was ordering the epi and giving drugs to induce. This was around 10:30.
We watched some tv and waited. I told my mother to come on up. Michelle called her mother and said where we were. And we waited some more.
A little after 1:00, still no epi. This was not good. Pregasaurus decided that she did not need any childbirth classes because she was going to be fully medicated. And here she was without anything. The contractions were VERY PAINFUL. Doctor comes back from a c-section (I think that was his third birth of the morning) and does an exam. Pregasaurus is now at 5cm, he runs out and I guess puts some pressure on the anesthesia team.
The anesthesia team comes in and gives her the EPI. A nurse goes to examine Pregasaurus and I am about to go out of the room to call and give my mother an update (she is at the airport). The nurse tells me I am not going anywhere and gets the doctor. Pregasaurus is fully dilated and it is time.
If things seemed to have happened very fast in the last paragraph, they did. And that was not a good thing for Pregasaurus . Although the Epi was in her and she was hitting the button, I don't think that Pregasaurus was happy when the nurse said to stop pushing because nothing was going to help.
Dr. L arrives and gets his equipment ready. It is now time for the practice push. Everything looks good.
Except I messed up. After all the effort to charge the camera, I forgot to take it out and my mind just went blank.
With or without the camera, it was show time. Doctor says push and she pushes (at some point, he gives her a small episiotomy. Two pushes later I see the head. 1 more push and at 2:14 pm, Shoshana was out.
She cried after a couple of second (thanks, to steroids and lung development). Her AGPAR scores were 9 and 9. Mommysaurus gets to hold her for a minute and they take her up to NICU. I head up with Babysaurus.
Although only 34 weeks, 1 day, she looked great. She weighed 4 pounds, 13 ounces and was 17 1/2 inches. I get all the measurements on paper and go back to Mommysaurus (getting in one last post)
Was born at 2:14 this afternoon. 4 pounds, 13 ounces and 17.5 inches. Although she was born 6 weeks early, she is breathing on her own. Mom and daughter are doing great. More later
The rest of the day is a bit of a blur (I wonder why). I got to take all the grandparents to meet their granddaughter -- first for my parents and 3rd for ILs). Both Michelle and I got to hold her and I read Shoshana her first story, Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
Babysaurus ate with no proble and had her her first pee and poop that night.
I spent the night at the hospital. While we could not all be together (Shoshana was in the NICU), me and my two beautiful ladies were all under one roof, safe and healthy. I needed nothing more.
Epilogue -- The next week
The next day I head home for a shower, pick up the car seat and take Michelle's car. While at home, I right down an update and post a journal which I link to posts in a few boards. But the late afternoon, it was the most popular journal in all of BBC. I tell Michelle, who is in shock. My family insists on reading it and then they want copies of all the journals I wrote. I was pretty proud of it, until KrankyJulie posted her birth story. It was a multipart opus that blew my story away. If you have not read it, it is worth looking for and reading. I think this post comes close to it.
After a visit to the hospital, I get the car seat installed. We also have a debate over Shoshana's name. Michelle has changed her mind and wants Madison Shoshana. I want Shoshanah (with an h at then end) Madison. In the end, we compromise and go with Shoshana (no h at the end) Madison. I think we made the right choice.
We have one more night in the hopsital. Shoshana has some minor setbacks. She needs the incubator to keep her temperature up. She is als having some problems latching on to the bottle. It takes a couple of days, but she gets the hang of everything.
We go home on Friday. And there our flowers from the construction company. We are not yet done, but they do get everything done before her December 8 due date, so its not their fault.
The following Wendesday, Shoshana gets discharged and we get to bring her home.
People asked for picutres, so there they are:

Maps of Montana
These free, printable travel maps of Montana are divided into eight regions:
- Missoula and Northwestern Montana
- Glacier National Park
- Butte, Helena, and Southwestern Montana
- The Missouri Headwaters
- Billings and Southeastern Montana
- The Judith Basin and Central Montana
- The Big Open and Northeastern Montana
- The Hi-Line and North-Central Montana
Explore Montana with these helpful travel maps from the ninth edition of Moon Montana and the fifth edition of Moon Glacier National Park.
Travel Maps of Montana
Missoula and Northwestern Montana
Missoula is a friendly student-oriented city that's home to the University of Montana, legions of writers, and a dynamic arts community. To the south, the narrow Bitterroot Valley is a recreational wonderland. The Bitterroot River is renowned for trout fishing. Overlooking the rugged Mission Mountains, the National Bison Range preserves a wild herd of the American bison, hunted nearly to extinction in other parts of the West.
Glacier National Park
The single most scenic destination in Montana, this park protects a wilderness of lakes, towering glacier-scarred peaks, and fragile alpine meadows. Lake McDonald glimmers at the base of the fantastically carved peaks. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more scenic drive in North America than Going-to-the-Sun Road, which climbs from the lake to cross the Continental Divide. Waterton Lakes National Park, adjoining Glacier Park in Canada, continues this wonderful mountain and lake scenery.
Glacier National Park: West Glacier and Apgar
Glacier National Park: North Fork
Glacier National Park: Going-to-the-Sun Road
Glacier National Park: St. Mary and Many Glacier
Glacier National Park: Two Medicine and East Glacier
Glacier National Park: Marias Pass and Essex
Glacier National Park: Waterton
Butte, Helena, and Southwestern Montana
This is the region of Montana's first gold rush and its early mining history. Ghost towns such as Bannack and Virginia City tell the fascinating story of vigilantes and the early gold-mining frontier. Helena, the state capital, is a gold camp that managed to evolve into an endearing small city filled with fantastic period architecture. Butte, once known as the "Richest Hill on Earth," has more history per square inch than anywhere else in Montana.
The Missouri Headwaters
In this mountainous region, all roads lead to Yellowstone National Park. Three of the park's entrances are in Montana. Be sure to stop and spend time in Bozeman, a lively university town filled with art galleries and great restaurants. Livingston is another well-preserved town that's been transformed by its community of famous, cutting-edge visual and literary artists.
Billings and Southeastern Montana
One absolute must-see in this part of the state is the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The clash of Custer's troops with the warriors of the Sioux and Cheyenne Nations is one of those defining moments in history, and the battlefield is one of the West's most haunted places. Miles City's Range Riders Museum is one of the state's best community museums. East of Billings, Pompey's Pillar is a sandstone bluff with carvings made by members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition over 200 years ago.
The Judith Basin and Central Montana
The Big Open and Northeastern Montana

Remember the moment in The Shawshank Redemption when the new inmate Tommy tells Andy Dufresne that he once shared a bunk with Andy's wife's real killer? Andy is convinced he's found his ticket out of jail and heads straight to the warden to start digging for evidence to corroborate Tommy's story. Only when the warden hears the tale, he says, essentially, "Forget about it." That's a pretty close comparison to how Dawud Malik felt in 1998 when his attorney obtained a lost FBI report from 1966 that, at least in his mind, proves his innocence. A judge, however, promptly denied Malik's request for a new trial.
Three days later, on May 25, Smith committed his third and final crime. He and a partner targeted a home owned by an elderly couple named Simon and Reva Krimsky, ages 85 and 66. At around 3:45 a.m., Smith and the other man forced their way through the Krimskys' front door. Woken by the commotion, Reva let out a scream before being strangled to death by Smith, who used a necktie Simon had left laying in the living room. When Simon emerged from the bedroom, Smith and his partner told the old man to lie down next to his wife. When he tried to raise his head to see what was going on, the shorter of the two men kicked him.
The burglars left the Krimsky home half an hour later with only $9 and two wristwatches. Simon then called police from a neighbor's house and gave them a description of his wife's killer. Smith was arrested later that night. It was then that he first mentioned his friend Malik.
Based on Simon Krimsky's eyewitness testimony, Malik was convicted of the murder. Never mentioned during the trial was the FBI report, which had been commissioned by Seattle Police. In fact, neither Malik nor his attorneys even knew such a report existed until Malik had been in jail for more than 30 years. From the story:
Then two years later [in 1998], one of Malik's former attorneys [Leta Schattauer] obtained what Malik thought would be the key piece of forensic evidence that would lead to his exoneration. Through a request under the Freedom of Information Act, he received an FBI report dated June 20, 1966 that contained "a microscopic analysis" of soil found on his shoes the day he was arrested.
The Krimsky intruders had left footprints, and Seattle police had asked the FBI to determine if the dirt on Malik's shoes was the same as the soil in the couple's flower bed. The results were negative, as was a test to see if the shoes had fibers or hairs from the crime scene.
The report--which was never mentioned during the original trial--did not have the impact Malik had hoped for. In 1999, the Washington State Supreme Court denied his request for a new trial, writing that Simon Krimsky's eyewitness identification was stronger than the new evidence. Subsequent appeals also were denied.
Here's the FBI report:Dawud Malik FBI Report
And here's a portion of Krimsky's courtroom testimony. The 85-year-old man says he "thinks" Malik is one of the men who attacked him and his wife, but he's not sure. He says police showed him lots of pictures, but he could only pick out "one from the two that was in my place." The "one" would be Leodis Smith, who eventually confessed to the killing:Dawud Malik Trial: Simon Krimsky Testimony

negative people really get on my nerves !!
I know the feeling I'm exactly six weeks. And I keep getting lectured that if I talk about it too much that I'll lose the baby. My baby was a birth control fail... there is no way this baby is going anywhere. I agree with you. We need to cut the negativity out of our lives right now... we sure don't need it.
Mia Noelle 7/14/14
I spent a lot of time worrying so much, had so many ER visits because of it. When I stopped worrying was when I could feel baby move. The reason people say not to get excited is because miscarriages are more common than everyone tends to think. They don't want you to get your hopes up and then have something horrible happen. My family started buying stuff for my baby when we first found out about him. It bothered me because if anything had happened to my pregnancy, I would have those items as a reminder.

I love this bean mix it can be served with flour or whole grain tortillas. You can also spread ground beef with taco seasoning on top of the mix if you have meat lovers.
Easy Fiesta Beans
From EatingWell: May/June 2007
An easy, tasty way to jazz up canned refried and pinto beans for the perfect side to accompany any Tex-Mex meal. Opt for fat-free refried beans and no-salt-added pinto beans to keep this dish as healthy as possible.
6 Reviews for Easy Fiesta Beans
Like, seriously? Someone needs a recipe for this? Of course it's good, but really--a recipe is necessary? Wouldn't this just make common sense, to put cheese and salsa in with pinto beans, half of which are simply mashed up? People wouldn't just normally fix them like this?
This was an amazing and fast side dish with a lot of flavor. I added some chipotle chili powder to it as well for the smokey flavor. I served this with the Lime-Jalapeno Chicken as tacos. So very good!
This was soooo good. I made this as a side dish and it was fantastic (better than the meal). It is super easy to make and completely delicious. Highly recommend!
Fantastic side dish! Very easy, but much tastier than simply heating a can of refried beans. I will definitely make this again!
