My 4 year old is having his tonsils and adenoids out on Friday, I know it is a simple procedure but I am still a bit nervous. Anyone care to share their child's experiences with this surgery. Thanks in advance.
I need advice on recovery from surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids!
Comments (9)
I havent but I hear its a good 2 weeks of recovery and when the scabs from the tonsils cme off its a .. Well you get it. Loads of ice cream and such nothing hard or scratchy etc. Liquid meds maybe even ask for a few supositorys of pain meds etc so if he wont swallow the meds you have another means of getting them in him.

Make sure you stay on top of his pain meds. Otherwise it will be too painful and they will fight drinking/eating anything. My nephew was close to needing IV fluids because he refused to drink/eat/take medicine. My son wasn't much better and ended up being allergic to codeine so he was only able to have regular tylenol. Good luck.
My own experience at 28...
Stay on top of the pain meds
Lukewarm or room temperature was better than cold (like ice cream) or hot
Limited or no dairy for the first few days. No red or purple foods until everything is healed-too easy to mistake dye for blood sometimes.
Stay hydrated. It's hard to do when it hurts to drink, but I found if I could get a quarter of a cup (about 2 oz) down at a time it was much easier mentally than trying to drink an entire glass of water or Gatorade.
Be prepared for the dragon breath-unlike a scab on the outside of your body where the surface can dry, the tonsil/adnoid scabs are pretty much wet and festering. It goes away, but it's nasty.
Watch for the ear pain-happened for me at about day 4, and was worse than the throat pain by that point. My surgeon had me chew gum to equalize things, but other people have been told no gum.
His voice may sound nasal or funny for a little while after the surgery. It should go back to normal eventually, but it may take a while.
Hope he recovers quickly.
"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table..."
The kid is fine the first week its the 2nd week the healing begins and it starts to hurt.
FIne meaning my kid was biking the same day= Next week nasty days!
Do they give pain meds for kids or is it just Motrin and tylenol?

Evil Symbols
|Other names
|pentalpha, pentangle, key of solomon, star of solomon
|Year of origin
The pentagram originates as one of the oldest religious symbols and was associated from its very birth with both a belief in its supernatural powers and rituals of human sacrifice.
In mathematics, a pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a form of πεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines".
The earliest known use of a pentagram in any culture was found in Mesopotamia cultures during the earliest civilizations from around 2,500 to 3,500 BCE. In the Sumerian language, the pentagram (always inverted with two points up and one point down) served as a pictograph of the word "UB" meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall".
In turn, the word UB (original name for pentagram) literally signified the most important religious ceremony of the various Sumer cities at which they sacrificed people to their most important female goddess, the "Queen of Heaven" also known as Inanna/Ishtar and in later centuries known as Athena/Cybele and Venus. The Sumerians would big a great pit and depending on the type of ceremony, would either place a large fire at the base of the pit into which people would be thrown, or bound and tossed (as in the case of the death of a king). As a result, the pentagram has always been an official symbol of the "Queen of Heaven" from the beginning of time.
From around 2,000 BCE, the pentagram took on the additional meaning of representing the five major gods of key Akkadian/Sumerian mythology, with each god representing a point and the whole star representing Ishtar as "Queen of Heaven". The pentagram and god association also had an astrological connection as the star represented the five brightest celestial bodies in the night sky- the planets of Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Venus- the brightest.
Under the Amorites (Neo-Akkadians) of Ugarit, Mari and Ebla, the pentagram came to symbolize the act of supreme sacrifice or Ba'al Moloch in worshipping Astarte still with pits, but also more sophisticated forms of sacrifice such as ovens as the geometric literal representation of the "head of the bull". However, under the Pythagorus religious cult during the 6th Century BCE in Greece, the Pentagram was completely reinvented from being the single most evil symbol of all religious talismans to being a symbol of good.
Under Pythagorus and his religious movement, the pentagram was given its "Wicca" positive attributes of a symbol representing the five classical elements: water, earth, idea, heat and air with the complete symbol representing the Greek goddess of health: Hygieia. While none of these attributes have any historical substance to the original intent, design or real meaning of the pentagram, the popularity of the "positive pentagram" have remained today. In contrast, by the 1st Century CE, the pentagram became synonymous as the symbol of Mithra as both the "head of the sacrificial bull" and the "head of the goat" as a symbol of alleged great power in the channelling of spiritual energy during human sacrifice.
During the Middle Ages and the rise of the Roman Cult, the pentagram became the central symbol of the Necromancers in the concocted belief that the symbol somehow acted as a portal, a binding and a talisman of power in the control of ghosts (spirits). An entire and elaorately ficticious cosmology was formed under the infamous grimoires and the writings of such occultists as John Dee where the pentagram became an essential symbol of the necromancer.
Magical function of the Pentagram
The oldest function of the pentagram in magic in Mesopotamian cultures was as the simplest geometric representation of the feminine, with the longest points representing her legs, the intersection her uterus, the shortest points to the side her breasts and the top her head. Thus energetic "birth" or the primary source of energy from the pentagram was the "uterus" between the symbolic legs and the secondary being the breasts.
When the pentagram became synonymous with the Ba'al and later Mithra, the intersection of the longest points became the crown, or primary "inbound" point and the opposite point, the head or "capito" as the intentional direction of power. Roman necromancers also introduced the notion of a moving pentagram whereby spiritual essence was "collected" and then as the head turned it would be directed to some point. Thus, the circle around a pentagram became an essential element in converting the symbol into a seal that then could direct energy brought in, to some outbound point, even if the physical symbol did not move.
The confused world concerning the pentagram
The world has become confused when trying to establish the origins and real meaning of the pentagram. In one instance, there is a substantial amount of contradictory information about the significance of the shape of a pentagram. The original Sumerian, Akkadian, Jewish Black Magic and Middle Ages Black Magic practices strictly adhered to the earliest of designs with a pentagram (as shown above) being two points up, one point down, with the left and right triangles being smaller than the up or down triangles.
Today, most pentagrams sold as black magic symbols are too geometrically perfect compared to the ancient original design used throughout black magic history, while many versions promoted as "good" are more in common with the ancient original design.
The largest authentic satanic pentagram in the world
The largest authentic black magic pentagram every created in history is the one devised by the Vatican and Jesuits using their control of Catholic Dictators in Europe during World War II. Formed from the five worst human sacrifice camps of World War II, the 300 mile wide Great Vatican Jesuit Pentagram of Evil is the largest attempt to use this symbol in the sacrifice to the Queen of Heaven (aka Cybele).
The most important remaining pentagrams are in the buildings and floors of Vatican- dedicating the temple of St Peter to effectively the largest shrine to Cybele in history.

Volunteer with RetroSheet and learn some baseball history
Tom Ruane sent out this note to the RetroSheet mailing list. Sometime this winter we'll have boxscores for every game from 1920-1939, and we are really close to having a complete run of box scores from 1920-2010. This will mean complete career game logs for Gehrig, Grove, Ott, Greenberg, Foxx, Dickey, DiMaggio, Williams. We'll be able to compute Williams' longest on base streaks or Gehrig's best RBI games, or Foxx's home/road splits.
As we wrap up the 1930s and turn our attention to the 1940s, I would like to mention that we are always looking for volunteers to help digitize the Hall of Fame player dailies. Depending upon your skill with a spreadsheet, a team's worth of batting dailies should take you anywhere from 5 to 20 hours of work. I won't lie to you - it can be pretty tedious stuff, but the end product (box scores, player dailies/splits, top performance pages, and so on) hopefully makes it all worthwhile.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please let me know (off-list at tjruane who has email at gmail.com).

With volunteer help, is there any oversight? I'd be willing to volunteer to help, but if I make a mistake in entering data and it doesn't get noticed, will I have left an error in retrosheet forever or will someone have the tedious job of checking over the entries?
Wow, this is going to be exciting to have 1920-2009 boxscores. Everything post-deadball era will be available day by day. The searches I can do on the Play Index will keep my attention for decades..

#1: I volunteered the last go-round. What I got was images (TIF files) of a scorebook that contained hand-written batting dailies. I just had to enter them into Excel. There were totals at the bottom of the scorebook images so I could perform sums in Excel to double-check the totals. That was all I had to do. It was pretty tedious stuff so I did only 1-2 players per sitting. They do give you quite a bit of time to do it, though.
I was told there are many other checks downstream. Once the data is digitized into Excel then they can use computer scripts to check team totals per game, player totals per season, team totals per season, and clean up double-header confusions. The line ups and box scores were collected later, so there's more checks then. Even more checks from fans like us after they get access to the data. And the hand-written scorebooks are always available for double-checking.
So, the volunteers are just the leading edge in the "digitizing" process. I wouldn't worry about creating errors that last for very long. (I did the best I could of course :-)) The digitization actually makes it much easier to check for errors.

Send an email to Tom Ruane at retrosheet.
They are being a bit careful with the email address so that it doesn't get picked up by spammers. The email address starts with "tjruane" and ends with "gmail.com" and the is an @-symbol in between.

I was nervous about volunteering as well, but I took the plunge and it's not bad at all. The instructions Tom sends are very clear. I've been assigned the 1944 Dodgers and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better.
And I've now officially outed myself as a total baseball nerd.

The issue - Risky play
Two Norwegian academics are trying to persuade teachers that risky games should never be shown the red card
Do we worry too much about playground accidents and are we in danger of turning our children into a generation of neurotics, unable to cope with threats and dangers, whether real or imaginary?
The answer is yes, according to two Norwegian academics who argue that offering children opportunities for thrilling experiences through risky play helps to ensure they grow up as normal, well-balanced adults.
Writing in the journal Evolutionary Psychology, they say that learning to take risks through play is an import way of helping children to cope with, and master, challenges and phobias that form part of their lives.
"Children need to encounter risks and overcome fears on the playground," says Ellen Sandseter, associate professor of psychology at Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education in Trondheim, one of the research paper's co-authors.
"I think monkey bars and tall slides are great. As playgrounds become more and more boring, these are some of the few features that can still give children thrilling experiences with heights and speed."
Dr Sandseter has identified six categories of risky play after observing children in Norway, England and Australia. These are: great heights; high speed; dangerous tools; dangerous elements; rough-and-tumble; and getting lost.
She and her co-researcher Leif Kennair, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, argue that anxious children "may elicit overprotective behaviour" from parents and other adults responsible for their care making them even more fearful.
"Overprotection might thus result in exaggerated levels of anxiety. Overprotection through governmental control of playgrounds and exaggerated fear of playground accidents might thus result in an increase of anxiety in society. We might need to provide more stimulating environments for children rather than hamper their development," they say.
The research has prompted widespread coverage worldwide, especially in the US where an article in the New York Times (July 18) sparked a bout of national soul-searching about whether the country has gone too far in removing jungle gyms, slides and other traditional playground apparatus that are deemed too risky.
In Britain, however, the debate has moved on since former CBI director Digby Jones led a 2007 campaign to counter the "cotton wool kids" culture that he said was preventing children from taking on risk and adventure.
"The debate here is much more mature now," says David Yearley, head of play safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. "Children should be exposed to a certain degree of risk, not because an activity is risky per se but because it is fun, exciting and challenging."
An estimated 40,000 children a year are injured in playground accidents resulting in a hospital visit, but most result in minor harm, according to accident-prevention charity Rospa.
It cites poor equipment, poor design, poor inspection and maintenance as major causes of accidents, while others include lack of supervision and misuse of equipment.
Tips for heads
- Develop a clear policy that balances the benefits of exciting play with a rigorous risk assessment of potential hazards.
- Ensure that playground apparatus complies with safety standards and is maintained.

Last year alone, an estimated 36 million Americans, or about 11 percent of the U.S. population, moved homes. If you're one of these individuals, you know that moving is a busy process that includes many tasks and an extra-long checklist.
The 2012 election was the first major election in which I could vote. I had turned 19, and I was in my third month as a freshman at Tufts University in Massachusetts. A very politically active campus, the atmosphere was charged in anticipation for Election Day. Excited about learning more about elections, I joined groups on campus that registered students to vote.
I learned about the importance of voting from my parents. Immigrants from Peru, my parents never fail to vote in the elections for their home country. Every five years, they shuttled my brother, sister and me from our small town in Westchester, NY, to New York City so that they could vote in the Peruvian elections. Voting was always a family affair, and an educational one at that!
Great news: A federal court recently ruled to make it easier to vote in Ohio! And it gets better – the League of Women Voters of Ohio (LWVOH) is working hard to ensure that all Ohio voters are equipped with the information they need to vote.
Election Day 2014 is fast approaching and the direction of our country hangs in the balance of the many elections happening on and before November 4.
Forty-three years ago today on July 1, 1971, Congress ratified the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. The legislation was a victory for our democracy. In lowering the federal voting age from 21 to 18, the 26th amendment drastically expanded our electorate and increased access to the ballot box.

The New York Times–bestselling author and world-renown teacher offers no-nonsense wisdom for teachers of all ages
There's no one teachers trust more to give them classroom advice than Rafe Esquith. After more than thirty years on the job, Esquith still puts in the countless classroom hours familiar to every dedicated educator. But where his New York Times bestseller Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire was food for a teacher's mind, Real Talk for Real Teachers is food for a teacher's soul.
Esquith candidly tackles the three stages of life for the career teacher and offers encouragement to see them through the difficult early years, advice on mid-career classroom building, and novel ideas for longtime educators. With his trademark mix of humor, practicality, and boundless compassion, Esquith proves the perfect companion for teachers who need a quick pick-me-up, a long heart-to-heart, or just a momentary reminder that they're not alone.

Read an Excerpt
Prologue: The Sistine Chapel and My Wife's Kitchen
I love my wife. A couple of summers ago, Barbara and I were given an amazing gift. A concerned friend thought we were working too hard and used his travel connections to send us on a practically free trip to Italy. We had always wanted to go. Among the many highlights, perhaps the best of all, was an unforgettable evening when we were given a private viewing of the Sistine Chapel.
Any person who has ever seen it will tell you (forgive me) that it is a religious experience. It is impossible to convey its astonishing, overwhelming effect. No picture or film even comes close to seeing it in person. One can actually sit back in a special chair with a headrest and practically reach heaven absorbing the soaring images above on the ceiling.
But what was more interesting to me was the painting on the front wall of the sanctuary.
As our guide taught us, Michelangelo painted this section of the chapel twenty-three years after the ceiling was completed. And it's different. It's bleaker than the joyous images overhead. Michelangelo had become gloomier since his younger days, and his paintings reflect this growing cynicism. Age and experience can do that to a person. I am definitely more pessimistic than I was thirty years ago when I began teaching. It was nice thinking I had something in common with Michelangelo.
I realized we shared something else. Even though he was gloomier, he was still painting. He had grown, changed, and suffered, but he remained true to himself. He was still an artist. I am proud that I am still a classroom teacher.
Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of schools in Washington, D.C., is often at the center of many emotional arguments regarding education. She once stated:
Nobody makes a thirty-year or ten-year commitment to a single profession. Name one profession where the assumption is that when you go in, right out of graduating college that the majority of people are going to stay in that profession. It's not the reality anymore, maybe with the exception of medicine. But short of that people don't go into jobs and stay there forever anymore.
This might be true but that does not mean it's a good thing. I think it's actually a sad reminder of something that is wrong with our society. Lack of commitment is seen in every facet of our daily lives, from personal relationships to the renegotiation of contracts.
I am still teaching after thirty years. I say this not to criticize the many terrific people who have left the classroom to become administrators or move on to entirely different professions, but there is something to be said about a teacher who stays on the front lines. With years of experience, and professional maturity, one can change lives and reach children who previously were beyond reach. In this fast-food society, veteran teachers are a reminder that no one is a fabulous teacher in the beginning. A person might be a wonderful second-year teacher, but no one is truly outstanding with only a year or two of classroom experience. It takes a lifetime to become a master instructor.
I am a fortunate teacher. I have been helped by colleagues, former students, celebrities, and the business world to create the magical classroom known around the world as Room 56. Every day is filled with happy moments as youngsters discover the best in themselves. On an almost daily basis I am visited by returning students who drop in to say thank you and share a laugh about a past adventure.
Even more rewarding, after an exciting day of teaching I get to go home to a woman I adore. We have been happily married for more than twenty years, have lovely children, and now grandchildren. I have done my best to give Barbara my love, good times, and a best friend.
But there is one thing she wants that I have never been able to deliver. My wife wants a new kitchen. We live in a beautiful home built in the 1930s. Barbara, the smart one in this marriage, bought the house when buying one was still possible. It is a beautiful place to live, but the kitchen is adequate at best. Barbara would love to remodel it with modern conveniences, but it hasn't happened yet.
I am a public school teacher. I do not make a lot of money, and, in fact, am at the bottom of the salary scale for teachers in Los Angeles. A teacher can climb the pay-scale ladder by taking additional classes after school, in the evenings, on weekends, and even online, but I have chosen to spend those hours teaching. I am not complaining, and neither is my wife. But I know she would love a new kitchen.
Having put four kids through college and graduate school, we don't have a lot of money left over for luxuries. We live a fairly simple life and rarely go out. Because we are careful, a little bit of money can be saved every year. By my calculation, if I can teach for about five hundred years we should have enough savings to get Barbara the new kitchen.

Treating themselves to a smashing good time, Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson headed over to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to catch all the action at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awardss tonight (January 11).
The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills was the place to be for celebrity spotters as the People Magazine Awards took over the scene on Thursday night (December 18).
Following the announcement of her failed engagement to Matthew Bellamy, Kate Hudson sought comfort in her gal pals over the weekend.
While many breakups take on a bitter taste, Matthew Bellamy isn't pining over his split with fiancée Kate Hudson.
The Muse rocker took to his Twitter account to fill his fans in on what's been going on and what the future holds. Matt tweeted, "Love all of you guys! We're both very happy, it's for the best. Thanks for your kind words. Now about that new album..."
She's never single for long, and Kate Hudson found a new romantic interest in Derek Hough on the heels of her split from Matthew Bellamy.
This week Kate Hudson's rep announced that she and Matthew Bellamy split up some time ago, and rumor has it she's already moving on.
They spent the past four years building a relationship and growing their family and now sadly Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy have gone their separate ways.
In a statement to the press, the "Fool's Gold" actress' rep explained, "Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now. Despite this, they remain very close friends and committed co-parents."
It's been a busy week for Kate Hudson and after hitting up a variety of parties at Art Basel in Miami, she returned to Los Angeles and settled in at home.
On Sunday (December 7) the "Fool's Gold" gal teamed up with producer pal Heather Parry for some Christmas cookie baking fun and of course there were several selfies. Kate posted an image to her Instagram account with the caption, "We've been bakin'... We've been bakin' #treetrimmingparty #ChristmasCookieBakeOff #glutenfree #sugarcookie."

What is necroposting? My game thread was recently closed b/c of this, and I searched and only came to the conlcusion it is caused because of posting on an old thread. So i have a few questions:
How old does the thread have to be in order to necropost?
is the age of the thread determined by the time since the last post or the last update?
Can I create a new thread to replace the old one?

I doubt either one of these two will make the cut. Wonder what the "No comment" on AK is all about. Paul Carter has the best chance to stick around. Howard is worse than AK for injuries..

I don't think AK is about the money, he's playing for free in Russia right now. No harm in asking him to play for 5 mill. You want to work on defense this year? AK has been our defense.

I'd rather see Price back than Tinsley or McLeod. Ronnie wants to be here. Wouldn't mind AK back for the right price, and I hope Paul Carter makes the roster. He's a character guy and might fill a good role for us. However, what about Paul's brother Elijah Millsap? He's a 2-guard shooting 52% from 3, and averaging over 7 rebounds/game in the D-league. Why wasn't he invited to camp? He's playing great and he's A MILLSAP!

The Jazz have given Price a tryout for 3 years. Seems like finally the
experiment is over. If the team is fortunate the AK experiment will be history
as well. AK does so much better playing European ball, and even though he still
gets injured there the play is not as rough.
Historically 3 out of 10 games he cannot play. that number will increase as he ages and his ability to contribute goes the other way. KOC is wise to look for other people who can help the team rather than be the living genealogy of the team.
Billups, Vince Carter, several others have been hit by the clause where they are now fired and looking for work. Billups or others maybe a good fit for Utah, perhaps better than KOC inviting Tinsley or McLeod.

Mary Roach is an American science writer. She has published three books: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (2003), Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife (2005) and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (2008). Raised in Etna, New Hampshire, she holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from Wesleyan University and currently resides in San Francisco, California.
She began her writing career at the San Francisco Zoological Society, producing press releases on such topics as elephant wart surgery.[1] In 1986, she sold a humor piece about the IRS to the San Francisco Chronicle. That led to a spate of humorous first-person essays for such publications as Sports Illustrated, Vogue, The New York Times Magazine, Discover, Outside, Reader's Digest (for whom she wrote a monthly humor column) and GQ.
She appeared on The Colbert Report, a satirical news program, in November 2005.
Mary Roach: A day in the life of the bacteria in your gut. They are on a different schedule from you because you're eating and it's taking a certain amount of time for the bacteria to make their way. The bacteria are all in the large intestine which is the end of the line. Well, the rectum is the end of the line. But this is a place where your body's kind of done with everything. You've absorbed – in the small intestine you've absorbed all the nutrients that you can that your body's going to use. And the stuff that they don't want it's the kind of stuff that you throw into the compost. The large intestine – that's the composter. That's where the bacteria live and they can use it. And they're like, "Oh, I'll take that."
So all your bacteria are down there and in your colon and they're waiting for you to be done with what you're gonna do with it. And then it's passed along so it's a certain amount of, you know, it's like five hours before you're sort of – it's making its way. And coincidentally – that's the peak in flatulence is about five hours after a meal when the bacteria are kind of doing their thing. Because flatulence is gas produced by bacteria breaking down – it's usually sugars of some kind with lentils and beans being the most famous contributors.
Anyway, so they are happily doing their thing. So they're on a lag from your schedule so whenever you're eating then you sort of wait a while and then they're eating. And I don't know exactly what else they do with their lives in there. I don't know how they pass the time in between. I don't know how much fighting is going on. I think it seems to be like a lot of gang tribe warfare going on because, you know, when you hear about a fecal bacteria this is – if you were a gut bacteria and suddenly here comes this whole – it's this, you know, population – giant population of foreigners. You know, it's like some crazy immigration situation where they're duking it out and the strongest ones win. So that's a whole global warfare scene going on.
On a day-to-day life in the colon is probably pretty mundane. It's very centered around food, a little bit of, you know, reproduction. Yeah, it's a simple life I think. Pleasant. Probably pleasant. The weather is great. It's very uniform. It's kind of like – kind of like the Bahamas in there. It's very – minus the tropical breezes I guess. Oh no, a little bit of the breezes.

asian plants
any ideas on good asian biotope plants for a 30 gallon blackwater tank. plant light used no co2 and ph is 6.8 with slightly soft water
Crypts,Java Fern,Hygrophila,Water sprite,Vallisneria,java moss
nice plants =)
How big is the tank? How many watts of light?
30 gallons I get about 1 and a half watts per gallon. Its a T5 glo light for plants
Posted via Mobile Device
From the plants previously mentined, I would omit Vallisneria. In soft acidic water it does not always grow well; it is a true hard water plant. The others are fine, but you have a lot of light over them. Floating plants will be mandatory to help reduce the light or algae will take over. Ceratopteris cornuta is ideal as it is also SE Asian.
Great! Thanks byron
Posted via Mobile Device
Your water is about the same as mine in my 37g and my Leopard Vallisneria grows very well,I have to trim it regularly.
1 Attachment(s)
I would go with sagittaria species...
Hygrophila difformis, crypts, aponogetons (many), and rotalas are all southeast asian...
I can offer more if you like. :)
Oh, and Monosolenium Tenerum. It's wild-looking... Almost like a mutant pennywort that works well in the foreground..
That's awesome! Thanks to everyone for all the great plants :)

I'm sorry to post multiple times about this same topic but I was wondering specifically WHAT religion(s) does not allow people to be vaccinated as part of their belief system? My husband said maybe Jehovah's Witnesses because they object to blood transfusions? I am seriously about to join up with a new church this weekend to get my son into a proper preschool.
What religion doesn't accept vaccines?

It doesn't matter, as it's not legal for the school to ask you what religion you are. It would be discrimination.
Partner to Jason since 05/05
Mama to Lia Brielle since 05/09
Agreed with above. You can say you have your own personal religion that does not believe in vaccinations. They can't legally ask you to prove it, and if they do, just say it's the Lovemybaby609 religion :)
EBF, BLW, cloth diapering, baby wearing Momma of a sweet baby girl!
So I found a daycare with an actual place on the form to check off religious exemption. I've never seen this before! But if they ask me, "Oh what religion are you?" wouldn't it seem better if I said, "Mormon" or something instead of "Not going to tell you it's none or your business!" I guess I just can't figure out a way to word this that doesn't sound rude or suspicious. I'm willing to lie people to keep my son from vaccines! Lol.

I would tell them legally that they can not ask you, but tell them your religion. They can't discriminate anyways.

You can always make up your own religion. LOL
I know certain vaccines have aborted fetal tissue, so any religion that is against abortion can work for those ones.

4 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks
ValeDividend Yield: 4.50% Vale (NYSE: VALE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.50%. Vale S.A. engages in the research, production, and marketing of iron ore and pellets, nickel, fertilizers, copper, coal, manganese, ferroalloys, cobalt, platinum group metals, and precious metals in Brazil and internationally. The company has a P/E ratio of 4.03. Currently there are 4 analysts that rate Vale a buy, 2 analysts rate it a sell, and 6 rate it a hold. The average volume for Vale has been 16,052,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. Vale has a market cap of $89.9 billion and is part of the metals & mining industry. Shares are down 19% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Vale as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, weak operating cash flow and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 6.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.7%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.43, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 1.22 is sturdy.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $3,075.47 million or 58.15% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 164.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $4,363.78 million to -$2,822.29 million.

Banco Mujer Valientas Y Luchadoras Group
She found out about the services provided by Fundacion Mujer (Kiva Field Partner) through a neighbor in her community. This is the first loan which she requests from this group. She is dedicated to agricultural activities, such as raising livestock and planting some cultivations. She wants to invest the loan in the purchase of poultry, concentrated food, feed, and vitamins for them. She has a great deal of farm experience and she has the support of her entire family.
The primary obstacle she has had to face is the lack of funds to purchase raw materials. She does not have a stable market to sell her products and the drop in prices at which she is forced to sell these products.
Ana needs to start her days very early in order to attend to the household work, such preparing food for her children who attend school. Later on she works alongside her husband all day taking care of the farm work.
Ana and her colleagues have many dreams and goals to attain. Among the most important is the dream of self-improvement, improving the financial condition of their families, and to expand their small businesses. A great dream is to create a cooperative that will accept all that they produce to sell in large quantities and at better prices. The loan will be a great help for her and 8 group-mates. They will invest in their businesses, such as poultry farming and pig farming.

El día de Doña Ana debe empezar muy temprano, para poder atender sus labores domésticas, preparar la comida para sus hijos que se van a estudiar, y luego junto con su esposo trabajar todo el resto del día en las labores del campo.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

How is it that you know that the stolen phone is receiving messages? And how do you know that changing the password did not fix the problem.
My wife was having the problem that texts to her were going to both of our phones, and texts from her were showing up to her friends as coming from me (even though she was sending them on her phone).
Your suggestion ("Settings>Messages>Receive At...you need to remove the email address you have listed here") appears to have fixed this problem. On her phone, we turned off iMessage, turned it back on, and removed my email address from there. Now it appears to be working correctly.
Don't know why after several months of us both being on iOS5 this suddenly started happening the other day, but at least your fix worked. Thanks!

As of midnight substances commonly known as "spice" and "bath salts" will no longer be readily available in stores, and will be illegal in the state of North Carolina.
Officials say this law was a long time coming. They say part of the problem with these drugs is they were unregulated, and readily available at many stores.
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown says although he's glad to get these drugs out of the stores and off of the streets, he does believe there still needs to be more to the law. "I think it's way past due. I really believe there needs to be some type of provisions in the law that any mind altering drug falls in to a certain category it's illegal before you have to go through the fight similar to these two drugs that we're facing now."
As of Wednesday, anyone found with substances commonly known as "spice" and "bath salts" will be arrested and charged with a felony.

MU Foundation establishes need-based Shewey Family Scholarship Program
The need-based awards will go to full-time Marshall University students who have at least 3.0 GPAs and financial need as defined by the Office of Student Financial Assistance. First preference will be for students who have participated in programs of the Shewey Research and Learning Center in Mingo County, which was established in 2007. Second preference will be for students from Mingo, Logan, McDowell or Wayne counties in West Virginia, or Martin County in Kentucky.
"The Shewey family continues to be generous friends of Marshall and I know Fred and Christine would be very proud to see this important student scholarship program become a reality," said Dr. Stephen J. Kopp, president of Marshall. "We are very thankful for this gift, which will benefit students from five southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky counties who have chosen to pursue their dreams of a four-year college education at Marshall University. We have faithfully served this part of Appalachia for many years and we are very pleased to announce the special opportunity provided by the Shewey Family Scholarship Program for the sons and daughters of this region."
The first annual installment of $60,000 - which funds four students per academic year - was received for the program from the C. Frederick Shewey Charitable Lead Annuity Trust in December. The program will continue for a 20-year period ending in December 2031, and the total distributed by that time will be $1.2 million.
"The Sheweys were so close to the people of those areas," Area said. "Now, to provide scholarship assistance for these kids for 20 years is unbelievable. The impact is really hard to put into words. It is absolutely incredible for these kids, for these counties and for Marshall University."
Bill Shewey, son of late Mingo County business and education leader C. Frederick Shewey, said the scholarship was established from his father's estate.
"My father was not a scholarly person. But he was very smart," Bill Shewey said. "He very much believed in education, which he demonstrated by serving on the Mingo County Board of Education for about 24 years. He particularly wanted to do something for students in these four counties in West Virginia and one in Kentucky."
One requirement of a student receiving the scholarship is that he or she lives on campus in a residence hall during the full term of the scholarship. The award is for tuition, fees, books and campus room and board. No particular major is required of the recipient.
"My father died a little over a year ago and this was part of his wishes," Bill Shewey said. "He would love this. There are so few opportunities for many kids that have the ability but don't have the finances. My parents wanted to make sure they could leave something for the children of West Virginia. This would definitely make them both very happy."
The first four scholarship recipients are expected to attend their first classes at Marshall this fall.

PDL BioPharma Issues $300 Million Of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDL) (NASDAQ: PDLI) announced today the closing of its previously announced offering of convertible senior unsecured notes maturing on February 1, 2018 (2018 Notes). PDL issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes, which included $39.13 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option to purchase additional 2018 Notes. In connection with the offering of the 2018 Notes, PDL entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with affiliates of RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities ("hedge counterparties") and privately negotiated warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties relating to the same number of shares of PDL's common stock. RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities acted as joint book-running managers for the 2018 Notes offering. Cowen and Company and Janney Montgomery Scott acted as co-managers. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110822/SF55808LOGO)The 2018 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per year payable semiannually in arrears on August 1 and February 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2014. The 2018 Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. The 2018 Notes are convertible, only during certain periods and subject to certain circumstances, into cash, or a combination of cash and shares of PDL's common stock. The conversion rate of the 2018 Notes will initially be 109.1048 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.17 per share of common stock. The conversion rate, subject to increase under certain circumstances, will not be increased in respect of regular quarterly cash dividends paid by us that do not exceed $0.15 per share. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $290.3 million after deducting the underwriters' discounts, estimated fees and expenses. PDL used approximately $19.5 million to fund the cost of the previously announced and the additional convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost was partially offset by proceeds from the previously announced and the additional warrant transactions). The registration statement pursuant to which this offering was made is effective pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Offers and sales of the 2018 Notes may be made only by the prospectus and related prospectus supplement, which may be obtained from RBC Capital Markets, Attention: Equity Syndicate, Three World Financial Center, 200 Vesey Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10281 or by calling (877) 822-4089 or from Wells Fargo Securities, Attention: Equity Syndicate Department, 375 Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10152, at (800) 326-5897 or email a request to email@example.com. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

OK but woun't buy again
Posted by Torya86 on Apr 01, 2016
It's cute but the colours doesn't make any difference on the skin. But hey! Its NUDE. It is not too small for me as I use few eyeshadow anyways. I don't like when makeup is unused and kept somewhere in pag or something, so I prefer it finishes fast. Didn't try wet application yet. I might liked it more with some matte shadows also.It is difficult to collect it on the brush and it takes an efford to put it on the lids as it's almost invisible.
Posted by 4998133565615756952 on Feb 21, 2016
I love small eyeshadows that you can take anywhere, very convenient! A little disappointed that there is no brown shades as at the pictured.
beautiful colors
Posted by 5038044940238155727 on Jan 29, 2016
beautiful colors and packaging love it
Posted by 4687921303093911860 on Jan 23, 2016
the colors are very beautiful , soft.
Nice Palette.
Posted by 5118327188336152119 on Jan 14, 2016
It's quite small, you can put this palette on your one hand. i thought that all of these colors have brownish feeling, but not as like my thought, some of these colors are grey. i didn't want grey so i was just a little bit disappointed. Except that, i am pretty satisfied with this palette. i can almost use it everyday with various colors. Also, it's not itchy at all.
Posted by 5286162484198926133 on Dec 20, 2015
Worth buying 👍🏻
Nice nude colors
Posted by 5064402881097395309 on Jun 02, 2015
As many have noticed, the color is completely unnoticeable without eye primer. I find I have to use a lot of product just to get any effect, unlike other more pigmented mineral eyeshadows I've used. Also didn't find the colors outstanding. Will probably never get this again and instead save my pennies for a proper eyeshadow palette like the Nude palette.
Too much fallout
Posted by greece2 on May 12, 2015
and the colors look almost identical on the eye. pigmentation is bad too. I find it too expensive for what it is. Gave it away.
Not worth the price
Posted by 5702313702686698734 on May 12, 2015
It's a little palette, which wouldn't be bad if the shades would be pigmented. The brush which comes whit the palette is good for picking up the colors, but if you want to use a normal brush, it will be difficult. So I think tapered applicators are okay with this, but it isn't as great as you would expect based on the price.
Great pigmented colours
Posted by Xhalax on May 08, 2015
This palette surprised me in a good way. The colours are buttery, well pigmented and applies easily. They look wonderful on me, and I keep going back to this palette. I actually apply these colours with my fingers, because they are so buttery. I haven't had any issues with fallout or creasing. My only complaint is that the strips are very narrow - however this means that the palette is really small and I can easily bring it in my purse. Great choice for a travelling palette as well!

Capitalize On $156 Billion In China Infrastructure Projects With Copper
copper intensive infrastructure projects. This September Beijing announced plans to increase infrastructure spending by $156 billion and analyst all seem to agree that the government transition will lead to more railway and power grid spending. As these projects break ground, analyst project that China's copper demand should grow between 5.3-6% in 2013 and up to 6.5% per year in 2014 and 2015.This is very big news for copper producers as China accounts for 40% of global copper consumption. Copper's current price is sitting around $3.496 per pound for November contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange and Goldman Sachs sees prices reaching $3.62 in three months and $4.08 pounds in six months. Business Section: Investing Ideas Although the projects may not break ground until 2013, this is a good long-term play for copper producing stocks. If China's copper demand grows at projected rates a little copper in your portfolio could be a winner: Southern Copper Corp (SCCO): With an operating margin of 47.84% and P/E ratio below it's peers and industry average, Southern Copper is in a good position to appreciate with an increased global copper demand. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX): Projected EPS growth over the next 2 quarters makes this a stock worth keeping on your radar. Written by Nick SousaCopper may start to look a little shinier to investors over the next few years.

Heinz has appointed former Muller Dairy marketing director Lee Rolston as the top marketer of its innovation unit, Explore.
Rolston is joining the Heinz Beanz maker as director, of Explore in the UK and Ireland. Explore is the Heinz innovation unit, which this year launched LOL, the fruit-based soft drink for teenagers.
Rolston replaces Giles Jepson, who was promoted to chief marketing officer for Heinz UK and Ireland earlier this year.
During his time at Muller Dairy, Rolston oversaw the relaunch of Muller UK with a major £20m campaign called 'Wunderful Stuff', which features well-known cartoon characters such as Yogi Bear, and was derided by some critics. Rolston left Muller Dairy after the campaign, amid a UK shake-up of its operations.
Before his time at Muller, Rolston worked for Cadbury's, where he worked on the high-profile "gorilla" and "eyebrows" executions.
He began his career at InBev working across sales, innovation and marketing.

Moto Americana: Deserts – Leaving Death Valley (Video)
Touratech-USA Presents Moto Americana: Deserts
Attached above is another installment in "Moto Americana: Deserts," a web series created by Curbsyde Productions.

In this installment, the crew – consisting of documentary filmmakers Joe Lloyd, Flora Lloyd, and Andre Corpuz, and experienced adventure riders Bob Berglund, Rob Watt and Whitney Koeberle – departs Stovepipe Wells and decides to spend some time exploring the "tourist loops" of Death Valley.
Touratech-USA says: "Riding through Furnace Creek, which sits well below sea level, the team travels to Devil's Golf Course, a large salt pan on the floor of Death Valley covered in halite salt crystal formations, and then on to the Artist Palette before heading south towards Mojave. Mojave."

text: "I really dislike music," says a cop ironically named Amadeus, and this ingenious Swedish comedy soon makes it clear why. His younger brother is a pompous, famous symphony conductor; his father is an overbearing musician, too; and poor Amadeus is tone-deaf. For him, then, the worst possible case to investigate would be a rogue gang of percussionists who make the whole city a venue for performances that the authorities call terrorism. Sneaking into a hospital, they commandeer an OR, then use the oxygen machine, beeping heart monitor, surgical steel, and a patient's bulbous gut to play a delightful conga. Taking their rhythmic anarchism even further, they steal road-construction machinery and perform a symphony for jackhammer and wrecking ball.
