"20 273 km2" Slovenia by picek
Slovenia Travel Guide: 8,191 reviews and 21,723 photos
How to start my Slovenian page? I am sure enough has already been told about Ljubljana, Bled and Postojna cave - for those are the most famous tourist sites in 'my country'. These are of course nice places and you'll see them on the covers of any important Slovene publication.
You've also probably heard stories about diverse Slovenian landscape, Planica, the difficult language, good wines, lipizzaner and what we are getting so proud now - being the hot spot of Europe: a kingdom for beast and for man. But bear, wolf and lynx are all fine to me and I don't mind interesting insects as well. We needed a long time to recognize importance of biotic diversity, natural and cultural heritage and charm of our home made foods and products. But still - this is just the begining.
Therefore, on my Slovenian pages let me write about places less visited and most oftenly missed by flow of foreign visitors. See if they're worth of your time. I think that I better focus on the area that is best known to me: I live in the North East more or less half of my life already (and it seems I am staying here for another next years) in the land called Prlekija. It's the patch of land between Mura river and the wineyards although its borders are 'disputed'. Easy accessible by car, bike or train. It depends how far off the beaten path would you go, though. Nothing's far here. Well, not in Slovenia in general. However, by train it takes at least 3 and half hours from Ljubljana. Ljutomer is regional capital. Near there are sources of hot water and acid springs - which all have beneficial properties for human body and are well known to old peoples and witches. If youngsters cared they kept the names of those places and still go there to drink its water.
This is mostly flat part of the country, agriculture dominates in the space and life-styles. Biking is pleasant way to explore it... and it won't be difficult here. In the nearby hills there are wineyards and local men are very proud of it. These are colorful sites in autumn. See also autumn forests, mushroom and birds, they all seem to enjoy in Prlekija. Winers can be harsh, very cold sometimes to mild and summers can be wet or quite hot near 35 degrees.
We speak dialect that sounds funny to people in 'big' slovenian cities and sometimes they don't understand it. But it's also different from what you can hear in Prekmurje and we also don't understand every specific word they speak there or in the slovenian mountains and coastline at the very western part of the state.
I made pages from other ends of Slovenia, nevertheless. My obscure contribution to huge VT database. For those who bother looking at. Nothing special, just passion for freezing moments in camera. Maybe a thought or two by the pics... and that's it.
I don't want to sell you 'fog' but I would like you to meet nice and good Slovenian music - music for traveller, romantic soul, for a pilgrim to temple of joy and sorrow, music for lover and music for a sinnerman.
I try to choose those who have something distinguishly Slovenian in their heart and lyrics - becuase that's the point of 'local' music, the one you cannot hear everyhwere globally unless you've heard of it and the one you sometimes have to dig for if you wanna hear it. Not the most popular for general taste but only those where quality matters.
My list of recommended authors is:
Tomaz Pengov - stunning voice of that legendary singer with guitar, melancolic songs about travels and love (in a best way, not cliche).
Katalena - great band to catch on concerts, their music is folk and author, re-made in their style, makes you sometimes dance, sometimes whisper silently... diverse yet with Slovene touch.
Zoran Predin - aboslutely must for rockers, a legendary guy from Styria, with intelligent lyrics, his star still shine.
Magnifico - he's fusion, Blakan with middle Europe, south meets ... he's cool, sometimes very provocative, but in fact decent guy who makes people come to its concerts in crowds. Well, some of his music is excellent for dance, haha...
Vlado Kreslin - he's our guy from the East, songs mellow and soft, like the landscape of our fileds. He's a son of Panonnia plain. When he bands with Beltinska banda he is best ever.
Iztok Mlakar - excellent cantauthour with great lyrics, had contributed to sanity of the music scene.
Laibach - heavy, epic sounds, politics, provocation, great shows on their live concerts - if you have chance, you shouldn't miss them live, they have no compatition on the entire local scene.
Music of past
Dusa Pockaj - our chansone singer, so far I liked her the most in her style of music, she was trully gorgeous.
Pankrti - they were punk, rebelious and they made scenes shake during 80'ies, with some intelligent lyrics and theatralic shows (well, that's how it was here back in those days).
To be updated one day...
- Pros:in one day you can squeeze a bit of Mediterran, a bit of Alps, Karst and Panonnia
- Cons:sometimes you'd wish better public transport, especially if they advertise it as 'green' piece of Europe
- In a nutshell:small country for big vacation

There are moments in our history that seem to be unforgettable. If you were alive in 1963, you probably remember where you were when JFK was assassinated. Nearly everyone remembers where they were on Sept. 11. These events impacted our lives, but they are not the only events that did such. There are movements, trends and events that have fallen in the shadows of the past. They still made a significant impact on how we live now, but we have forgotten (or never knew) them. Such times are recounted in these books.

After losing four starters from teams that had won 14 games in each of the previous two seasons, the casual observer might have seen Columbus East entering a rebuilding year.
Bryce Lienhoop and the rest of the returning Olympians had other ideas.
Lienhoop put together another spectacular season in leading East to a 17-5 record and a runner-up finish in the Hoosier Hills Conference. The senior forward is this year's The Republic Athlete of the Year for boys basketball.
"A lot of people had doubts about us before the season started, and I think we kind of exceeded a lot of people's expectations," Lienhoop said. "I think we all thought we could do pretty well. We had been playing with the older guys over the summer and getting better and getting some team chemistry, and it all started working out."
After averaging 14.4 points,
10.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists as a junior, Lienhoop led the Olympians with 15.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists this season.
"The year before, I was asked to do more scoring, but this year, I helped manage the game and did what I could to help find my teammates open."
The two-time team MVP and three-time All-HHC player also averaged 1.3 steals and led East with 3.1 blocks. He shot 60 percent from the field and 71 percent from the free-throw line.
"Bryce has so many different dimensions to his game," East coach Brent Chitty said. "He's a kid who can score. He can rebound. He makes other players better around him. He's a kid that's played hard every day. At Columbus East, we were blessed to have him
in our program for the last four years.
"He was incredible," he said. "He was a great leader for us. He leads with his actions. He and the other seniors put the team before themselves. They wanted to try to win."
Lienhoop has been invited to participate in Sunday's Top 60 Workout at Marian University.
"I'm very grateful to have the opportunity in the Top 60," Lienhoop said. "I'm hoping to have a good showing there and represent my school and myself well."
The 6-foot-7 Lienhoop has committed to play collegiately at St. Francis. The Cougars beat eventual NAIA national champion Indiana Wesleyan during the regular season, but lost to Robert Morris (Ill.) in overtime in the first round of the Division II Tournament.
"I need to get a lot stronger probably," Lienhoop said. "I need to work out a lot over the summer, improve my ball-handling and look at whatever they need me to do. The goal is hopefully to win a national championship."

|Alberta, Canada
Alkali Lake is an underground base for Colonel William Stryker where Wolverine and other mutants were tested on. Alkali Lake is in Canada.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Alkali Lake was used as a base for Colonel Stryker and his allies. It was also used to create Weapon X and Weapon XI. Wolverine scaped the facility in order to avoid having his memory erased and some farmers brought him in. He was eventually tracked down. Stryker soon moved to Three Mile Island.
About 15 years later, Wolverine joins the X-Men and is working on discovering his past. At the end, Charles Xavier warns him that a facility on Alkali Lake, at the Canadian Rockies, might help him uncover the clues. He goes there afterwards on Scott Summers' motorcycle.
X2: X-Men United: The Movie Prequel: Nightcrawler
Kurt Wagner was mentally manipulated to leave his home. He was captured by Styrker and impriosned at the Alkali Lake compound where he was broken mentally and physically. Finally Styrker injected Kurt with a serum to control his mind.
X2: X-Men United: The Movie Prequel: Wolverine
During his search for the Facility, Logan was attacked by Sabertooth. After a brief fight Logan noticed that Sabertooth had a similar Dog Tag to his and the two decide to get a drink and discuss their forgotten past. Suddenly Styker's men storm the bar and Wolverine and Sabertooth fought them off but were eventually subdued. They woke up in a flying plane. Sabertooth sacrificed himself to help Wolverine get away by throwing him off, he was later killed by Stryker's men.
X2: X-Men United
Once Wolverine arrives at Alkali Lake, all he finds is a abondoned facility and returns, disappointed.
After Deathstrike, Stryker's bodyguard captured Charles Xavier, Stryker returned to his base with the captured Xavier. This is were Stryker's Dark Cerebro was located. When the X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood teamed up, they looked for Xavier and the young captured mutants. When Wolverine entered the Weapon X room, he had some flashbacks of 15 years before. Then, he battled Lady Deathstrike and killed her.
At the end, Stryker attempted to escape but was tied around a metal chain and Wolverine left him to drown. The X-Men saved Xavier and escaped the facility, leaving it to blow up. Magneto and Mystique took Stryker's plane with Pyro aboard to escape.
Jean Grey sacrificed herself to save the team by going outside and using her telekinetic powers to lift up the jet. After she does it, she leaves herself behind, in the water, believed to be dead.

LONDON - Smoothie company Innocent is to rebrand its Juicy Waters range as This Water, following a review conducted by the health drink manufacturer's design agency Pearlfisher.
Innocent's decision to rebrand Juicy Waters was taken to emphasise the drink's "nothing but fruit" ethos, and follows 2005's packaging redesign, which was also handled by Pearlfisher.
The agency was asked to create a new name for Juicy Waters, and chose This Water because of its flexibility and adaptability for future on-pack phrases.
Pearlfisher said This Water would "communicate with short, sharp phrases describing the various flavours, ethics and benefits of the water".
Richard Reed, co-founder of Innocent, said: "Collaborating with Pearlfisher has been an exciting and rewarding process for us. They've worked really hard with our creative team to come up with our creative team to come up with an innovative new brand that offers real stand out."
This Water will appear in supermarkets and independent retailers in the UK from May 7.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

ReacTV Secures Carriage Agreement with Bright House Networks; Bright House Networks to Carry Reactive Network to Digital Customers in 12th Largest Media Market
ReacTV's new and original TV programming will be available to Bright House Networks Digital Cable Customers on channel 77. There, viewers will be able to watch, play and compete for potentially millions of dollars in prizes by reacting to real-time trivia, word game content and to patented CRAV advertisements that reward them for responding to ads from their computer, and soon from their remote control. When viewers see the CRAV icon on their TV screen, they know they can play to win.
"ReacTV brings advertising to the next level by providing businesses the highest level of interactivity and measurable results"
For advertisers, ReacTV and the CRAV advertising model offer the reach and frequency of television, and the metrics and tracking capabilities of the Internet. Viewers are rewarded for paying attention to ads, and advertisers are charged only for the number of people that actually watch the commercials. Further, the reactive component of the CRAV model allows advertisers to ask responders questions about products and services, offer product samples or coupons, and test campaign effectiveness. "ReacTV brings advertising to the next level by providing businesses the highest level of interactivity and measurable results," says ReacTV president Noreen Parker.
"Bright House Networks is a leader in interactive television," says Bright House Networks Tampa Bay Division President Kevin Hyman. "We were the first to launch Interactive Entertainment, with programs like Interactive Polling on Bay News 9 and Last Comic Standing. Now we are the first to offer our customers this exciting and fun new technology that they can't get from any other cable provider."
Says Parker, "Bright House Networks is on the cutting edge of technology with loads of service options for customers including High Speed Internet and Digital Phone, as well as Interactive TV on Digital Cable. We are in good company in our joint effort to bring this new television technology to our area. We're looking forward to seeing ReacTV77 on Bright House Networks channel 77 when we launch August 1."
Like Bright House Networks, ReacTV is a local business and for chairman and CEO Frank Maggio, that makes the partnership between the two companies even better. "We're absolutely delighted that ReacTV's hometown market, Tampa Bay, will be the first in America to receive the televised version of our TV InterNetwork," he says. "Bright House Networks continues to display its national leadership and commitment to provide customers with the most innovative products and services available.

Done last year at a show. I really had a great time drawing this one and it went to a person who really appreciated it. So It made my show. Why Wouldn't Dynamite want that as a cover, once in colors, huh?
I love the perspective in this, especially with her had pointing right the viewer!
What type of drawing pens do you use?
that guy on the floor is checking out her butt!
Looks like it would make a fantastic Red Sonja cover.
awesome color palette. nice and pale
Really like the perspective on this one. The spot of color with the red hair is awesome too!

US stocks were poised for another open higher Thursday amid
positive quarterly earnings reports, with Twitter being a notable
exception, and upbeat economic data.
Initial jobless claims in the week ended Feb. 1 fell 20,000 to
331,000 compared to the 337,000 consensus. Meanwhile Q4 non-farm
productivity rose 3.2% compared to the consensus for a 2.6%
increase and against the upward revised 3.6% increase in
productivity in Q3.
Later today, Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo is set to testify
before the Senate Banking Committee on bank oversight and Boston
Fed President Eric Rosengren, who is not a voter on the open-market
committee, will speak. Rosengren doesn't agree with reducing the
pace of asset purchases but has nevertheless said he is
"comfortable" with the current approach.
In equities, Twitter (
) was the biggest loser, shedding 22% before the market open after
its Q4 results disappointed investors. Among gainers were the
internet services company AOL (
), up 4.3%, and retail giant Costco (
), up 2.5%, on improved earnings.
-Dow Jones Industrial up 0.35%
-S&P 500 futures up 0.34%

While the Denver Heart Ball isn't about love per se, it's always fun when amour factors into it.
That happened this year for Jordan Nelson and Nicole Hewett. He popped the question Saturday evening as they were about to leave home for the Hyatt Regency Convention Center for the dinner-dance that raised $700,000 for the programs and services offered by the American Heart Association's SouthWest Affiliate.
The young couple — he works for TIAA-CREF and she's with Digital First Media, parent company of The Denver Post — met three years ago at a Young Hearts event. They attended their first Heart Ball in 2010, the year his parents, Patti and Charlie Nelson, chaired it.
Seen Gallery
- View more pictures from social events around town in the exclusive "Seen" gallery.
Nicole was taking one last look in the mirror Saturday when Jordan came in and said he had one more thing he'd like her to wear that night. "Her heart must have dropped because she thought he had a corsage," Patti Nelson said.
But when Jordan reached into his pocket and pulled out a diamond ring, Nicole screamed, cried and then said "yes."
Like the Nelsons, Nicole's parents, John Hewett and Maureen O'Hare, also are active in the AHA. Maureen O'Hare is past chair of the Denver metro board of directors, a post now held by Charlie Nelson, who is also president of Great-West Retirement Services. "This whole thing is truly a meeting of the hearts," Patti Nelson said.
Bill Lindsay, health and welfare president for the Lockton Companies, chaired the 2013 Heart Ball and said that the money raised would help fund a host of local wellness initiatives, including those that address childhood obesity, congenital heart defects in children and educating youngsters about the dangers of smoking.
Valet parking for the 600 guests was underwritten by Faye and Dr. Reginald Washington, chief medical officer for Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children and a past national president of the AHA. As guests alighted from their cars, they were offered an opportunity to test-drive one of the shiny red Ferraris on loan from event partner Ferrari of Denver.
After dining on such selections as spinach salad, braised short ribs and marinated salmon, emcees Denise Plante and Christine Chang invited everyone to burn off the calories by dancing to the music of Tunisia.

What happens when your favorite coffee shop simply becomes another one? The All City Coffee shop in Pioneer Square was quietly taken over by Caffe Vita a few weeks ago. The neon All City Coffee sign is still on the corner of the Tashiro Kaplan Building that houses the shop at Prefontaine Place and South Washington Street. (There's a Vita clown logo in the window as well.) As All City had been serving Caffe Vita, the coffee itself is unchanged. The pastries, however, have changed (fewer cupcakes, more croissants), and now there's all sorts of Caffe Vita swag on the counters (CDs, gift packages, and such).
This is the fifth Caffe Vita location, after Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Fremont, Seward Park, and Olympia. Vita is on a big push to become more visible in their various communities, teaming with One Pot, Via Tribunali, and such local organizations as KEXP and The Vera Project. Caffé Vita is also on restaurant menus all over the city, from Steelhead Diner to Cafe Presse to the Sorrento Hotel.
One noticeable difference at their new cafe: the chalkboard advertises a 12-ounce, single-origin coffee. Price: $12.

Ky. woman says roller coaster gave her whiplash
Kelly Holleran Sep. 23, 2009, 3:30pm
Camden Park opened in 1903.
The Little Dipper opened in 1961.
HUNTINGTON – A Kentucky woman has filed suit against Camden Park after she says she suffered from whiplash on one of the amusement park's rides.
Tracy Bradley claims she was riding on The Little Dipper at Camden Park on Aug. 16, 2008, when it malfunctioned and threw Bradley backward and forward, causing her to experience whiplash.
Because of the incident, Bradley sustained severe pain and suffering, incurred medical expenses, lost wages and has an increased likelihood of future medical complications, the suit states.
She says Camden Park failed to properly maintain and operate its ride in a safe manner.
Bradley is seeking an unspecified judgment, plus costs and other relief to which she may be entitled.
Christopher A. Dawson of Hensley and Dawson in Flatwoods, Ky., will be representing her.
The case has been assigned to Cabell Circuit Judge David M. Pancake.
Cabell Circuit Court case number: 09-C-666

For Religious Voters, Risk Is Good Like God
Republicans Target Believers' Sensibilities – and Not Just Through Social Issues
Does confidence matter? You betcha. Those who met Baylor's profile as non-worriers were more than twice as likely as worriers to attend religious services weekly, read the Bible weekly and consider themselves very religious.
This doesn't necessarily mean religiousness dispels worry. It might be that non-worriers are also extroverts who enjoy all the socializing that comes with faith activities.
But it does tell us the observant aren't as prone as are the lapsed or the skeptical to feel worried, tense or anxious for more than 10 days in the past month (Baylor's definition of a worrier). It would follow that one who doesn't worry much about the future also isn't eager for government to intervene and help stave off worst case scenarios.
Believers have as much, if not more, reason to worry as those of little faith. Among those who strongly agreed that "God has a plan for me," only 17 percent earn upwards of $100,000. Just 33 percent of them have a college degree. Yet they were far more likely (53 percent) to say "the government does too much" than were those who strongly disagree with the notion that "God has a plan for me" (21 percent).
Emerging is a portrait of a worldview shared by millions of Americans whom the GOP is actively courting. They believe it's good to trust God by taking risks for worthy causes. This might involve joining the military, having a child instead of an abortion, or starting a business on a shoestring. It certainly doesn't involve collecting unemployment checks if you're able-bodied, at least according to 53 percent of those who strongly agree that "God has a plan for me." (Those who are less certain of God's plan for them are also proportionally more open to government-issued unemployment checks for the able-bodied).
These values are well-known to the GOP. Republicans have long held sway as God's Old Party, but they've made further inroads since 2008, according to Pew surveys of 15,000 registered voters in 2011. The largest gains of the past three years, in terms of percent who say they identify or lean GOP, came among people of faith: Mormons, Jews, white Catholics and mainline Protestants. Now 70 percent of evangelicals lean Republican, as do 80 percent of Mormons. Meanwhile 71 percent of atheists lean Democratic, as do 61 percent of the religiously unaffiliated.

Implantation is when you would start producing the hcg--the pregnancy hormone--that would trigger pregnancy symptoms (which early on, unfortunately, mimic pre-period symptoms). This doesn't happen the same day you conceive, though. It takes about 6-9 days after conception for implantation to occur (but can take up to 12). Even though your hcg levels will double every 48-72 hours, they are going to start of extreamly low. So at this point, it's too early to tell.posted 12/05/2011 by Tiffybaby123
I'm in the same boat!!! I'm 6dpo.but have been superrr nauseous and massively bloated and lots of twinges or pulling in lower abdomen. Oh and really dizzy. I've got a Dr appt in the am to get a blood test done, never felt like this before and I honestly expected to have no symptoms till wayyyyy later. But I'm scared if its not a pregnancy because I've felt awful. I will let you know how the blood test comes back.posted 11/09/2012 by KD03
the earliest you can check for pregnancy is 9 days after ovulation. buy a pregnancy test with 15 to 20 sensitivity for hcg. Make sure you use morning urine. you have all the signs of pregnancy. good luckposted 11/30/2011 by FROSTFAMILYBLACK
Congrats !!! What does your Cervical Mucus look like?posted 11/18/2011 by Melissa353
It is possible to have pregnancy symptoms that early, but the down side is, pms symptoms can be the same early pregnancy symptoms (sore breasts, nausea, fatigue) I have wasted so many home pregnancy tests thinking I was pregnant and then a day or two later my cycle would start. Although, this time for me, the test was positive, I hope it is for you too. Be patient, good luck.posted 11/18/2011 by thirdbabyduejuly2012
What does your Cervical Mucus look like when you are pregnant? Mine at the moment is slippery see trhough almost yellow tinted and strtchy?? and my cervix is high and soft i am due for AF nov 25th what is all of this meaning?posted 11/18/2011 by Melissa353
I've been there before! Our mind really does start playing tricks on us. It is possible to have symptoms if the fertilized egg implanted early. Although having some of those symptoms dont seem likely at this early stage if u were pregnant.(unless u conceived the previous month) Fingers crossed for uposted 11/18/2011 by sunshine_jg_18

Served 1982-1989
Appointed by President Ronald Reagan
George Pratt Shultz was born in New York City on December 13, 1920, the son and only child of Birl E. and Margaret Shultz. At a young age, Shultz's family moved to Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, where he spent a happy childhood. His father worked at the New York Stock Exchange, where the young George often spent Saturday mornings while his father worked. Shultz lived with his parents until his college years at Princeton, where he pursued a major in economics and a minor in public and international affairs.
Upon receipt of his bachelor's degree in 1942, Shultz applied for graduate school in economics at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT). He was accepted into the program of Industrial Economics, but instead joined the marines and after training was shipped to the South Pacific, where he saw action during 1943-1945. After the war, he began graduate studies at MIT and was married. He completed his Ph.D. in industrial economics in 1949 and stayed on at MIT, where he coauthored three books on labor and wage issues. He taught at MIT until 1957 and served for a year in 1955-1956 on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers under Chairman Arthur Burns. In 1957, Shultz took a professorship in industrial relations at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago. While authoring additional books at Chicago, Shultz also served as Dean of the Graduate School of Business from 1962-1968 and as a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences from 1968-1969. After two decades in academia, Shultz was tapped by President Richard Nixon, to serve as secretary of labor in 1969, launching his first tour in government service.
Shultz was well prepared to become secretary of labor, where he undertook a reform of the Job Corps and addressed the oil import control system. His noninterventionist policies in handing a major longshoreman's strike, which began under the Johnson administration and continued into that of Nixon's, proved successful in putting pressure on labor and management to resolve that dispute through collec-tive bargaining. With several successes at the department of labor under his belt, it

This is my first time posting here. My poor DS has been through the ringer and back. He was a preemie - born at 28 weeks weighing 1 pound 3 oz. He did great all through the NICU and then the first 3 months at home, aside from massive reflux issues. Then, in early December he started fighting the bottle hard - screaming, batting it away, writhing his head back and forth, gagging, etc. We took him to his pedi and she really couldn't find anything wrong with him. Then we started feeding therapy because we thought it was an oral aversion due to his time in the NICU. Didn't really help.
Fast forward to today. DS is almost 8 months old/5 adjusted, and we had our first GI appointment this week. GI said it could be a milk protein intolerance. She switched his formula from Neosure to Alimentum and told me start a trial dairy-free diet. (I pump and mix the breast milk with the powdered formula to bump up his calories to 24 cal.)
Here are the symptoms DS is displaying:
-bad reflux/vomiting (he takes Prevacid for this)
-bottle refusal/gagging on the bottle/crying during feeding
-Slow weight gain.
-The GI noted a red ring around his anus.
-I also told her how he strains and grunts and sometimes cries while pooping, but when it comes out the stools are soft. She said that isn't normal. This has been going on forever - we just thought his digestive system was immature and he'd grow out of it. Apparently not.
-Really bad gas.
-Also, I just discovered what looks like very dry skin (possibly eczema?) in the cracks of skin behind his knees.
Since the appointment I stopped all dairy and decided to go soy free too (which isn't easy by the way! who knew soy was in literally everything???)
So my questions are A) does this sound like possible MSPI? and B) I've been wondering if I should I try the total elimination diet and just cut it all at once, or try to cut out dairy and soy first for a couple of weeks to see if it helps?

Efforts to update the city and county's Emergency Operations Plan are moving quickly, with officials aiming to have the plan ready for approval at the state level by Friday.
"Y'all are doing great," John Bastin, the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management area coordinator, told officials at an emergency planning meeting March 18. "I'm surprised it's come along this fast."
The Spencer County Fiscal Court voted Monday to stick with its current insurance company despite an increase in rates.
Most county employees who take the available insurance, provided through Humana, opt for the single plan, the total cost of which increased from $391.08 per month to $499.49 — an extra $108.41.
However, other quotes received by the fiscal court were even more expensive, Judge-Executive Bill Karrer said during Monday's special meeting.
Kentucky State Police seized 85 marijuana plants March 22 from a home on Woodlawn Drive in Spencer County.
Johnny Allen Norton of Taylorsville was arrested and charged with cultivating marijuana over five plants.
KSP narcotics detectives were notified of a possible indoor grow in Spencer County by Jeffersontown narcotics detectives, according to a news release.
Detectives from both departments went to the residence and obtained consent to search inside.
Citizens are $20,000 closer to having a park on Taylorsville Road thanks to two grants recently awarded to the Taylorsville Main Street Program to start the city park project.
The man charged with slicing his girlfriend's throat and stuffing her body into a trash bag snarled at her family members when entering Anderson Circuit Court on Tuesday morning.
Spencer County was once again Kentucky's fastest growing county, but the population in the City of Taylorsville appears to be shrinking, according to the latest census data released last week.
With a population of 17,061, Spencer County showed the most growth — 45 percent — in Kentucky from 2000 to 2010, Judge-Executive Bill Karrer told magistrates at Monday night's fiscal court meeting.
Three fatal accidents in just over three weeks are enough to cause concern in Spencer County.
"In a county of 17,000, when you have three fatalities, it's pretty bad," said Spencer County Sheriff Buddy Stump.
To compare, the City of Taylorsville has had three fatalities on its streets over the past two years, Police Chief Toby Lewis said.
During Monday night's meeting of the Spencer County Fiscal Court, the court:
- Received an update on the county's tentative contributions to Phase II of the Main Street Project. Karrer said the county previously agreed to supply $40,000 in either cash or in-kind services during Phase II, but now the needed contribution from the county is estimated to drop to $20,000.
- Received a copy of the proposed budget for the county clerk's office to look over and prepare to take action on at its next meeting.
Site-based decision making councils at each of Spencer County's schools could soon be facing cuts in the interest of preserving teacher positions.
At the February board of education meeting, Superintendent Chuck Adams and board members had preliminary discussions about the district's 2011-2012 staffing formula. The formula dictates the number of teachers allocated to each of the district's five schools.
Currently the district employs 419 classified and certified staff.
Prom is around the corner, and two organizations at Spencer County High School are making it easier for teens to find the attire for that memorable night.
The Spencer County Youth Service Center and the PRIDE Club are hosting a Prom Fashion Show and Auction on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
Admission is $3, and free door prizes will be awarded.
"We will be showcasing new dresses and tuxedos from area businesses [and] showing the latest prom fashions," organizers said in a news release.

267 verbal
250 is considered advanced proficient. The scores are out of 300. Only 8% of kids statewide typically get advanced proficient on the verbal. It's a very rigorous test with a lot of essay writing and open ended questions.
The math portion is not quite as difficult, with about 32% usually getting advanced proficient but still, 293 out of 300 means dd got very few answers wrong.

I WOULD send you an application for the closed beta, but I'll be out of town starting this Tuesday, so no go for me. T-T
I remember that when I first played with this gun in CoD:WaW I called it the "Frying Pan". Still do actually! :D
Ahhhh, this takes me back to the RO1 days.
No, *I* am the 10,000th player! Let ME have the new patch early!
*let the Spartacus games begin!*
Daddy like. Do you guys think that 2.6 will be released by the end of the year? Looks awesome!
Just hope you're not on the receiving end when it's firing. XD
I was able to get BF2 for about $10 on Amazon man. It's not that expensive, and it's an even better deal when you're talking about PR AND FH2. They're both awesome!
Would this work with the Blitzkrieg mod? I don't know if a conflict would arise with both of them installed. I hope that I can run one when they're both installed.
As an Arty lover, I approve of this picture, and gun.
Ah ok, well I just got a new laptop so it's been a LONG while since I've played NHC, though I have played Blitz at a friends house. Re-DLing again. :D
I <3 PE SE Doctrine.
Arty FTW!
BTW do you think that the next version of the mod will be released before the end of the year? Can't wait for it!
One last question: will you add in a no pop cap, like what Blitzkrieg did (but minus the bloody resources decreasing)?
It's actually less Bethesda and more Zenimax to my knowledge. Though I think that Bethsoft should get involved and voice their opinions.
XD That face is the same that I made when I was watching this vid.
I'm so so sorry to hear that, man. I'll say prayers tonight for both him and his family.

In the next update can you fix the 'Deuce and a Half' that the Americans start with? It has the pink portrait and I can't hold the right mouse button to tell it to face a certain direction.
Other than that, W00T! 4.0 is awesome! Thanks man, LOVE the no popcap!
XD you said the EXACT same thing on the installer for 4.0 maps.
Now that I have that out of the way, I'm going to take an example from you:
XD you said the EXACT same thing on the full installer for 4.0.
Now that I have that out of the way, I'm going to take an example from you:
What did that XXX+X bug DO exactly?
XD Take your time man, just wanted to get that out of my system. I don't care how long it'll take for it to be released, so long as it's not half-*** because you rushed it.
Holy William Shatner that's beautiful.
That is an AWESOME site BTW.
Daddy want. I knew the mous was big, but not that big. Though I think it may be a little bigger than the RL one. Also, which turret does this one have? And are you going to be able to upgrade the turret if you're planning on adding in both turrets? Or is it going to be something you change in the Rewards menu?
Wow, that was rather ingenious for that one ship you made. The one with the dispensers. I like. Good map. :D
Is the texture pack in the save? It looks awesome.
Damn, it's deader than Franz Ferdinand.
Damn, can't believe that you beat me to it. XD
Just re-DL it, it worked fine for me. But last night a friend sent me a 10 day guestpass for RO-Ostfront and it's 1000 times better than this crap of a mod. If you want a good free WWII mod I would suggest you get Forgotten Hope 2 for BF2, and NOT play this mod. The retail version is one of the best WWII games I've ever played, and the mod is the worst WWII mod I've ever played. The tank combat in Ostfront is just......awesome, in all meanings of the word. Can't wait for Heroes of Stalingrad!!!
:o what texture pack did you use? Me likey. Going to DL it now and check it out later. I'll write what I think about it later.
Holy. Mother. Of. William. Shatner. That is so bloody awesome! Can't wait to play with it in game!!!

i was wondering if it would be possible to use a 12volt light on a bike. i want to use a 12 volt light on my one bike but don't want to be carrying a 12 volt battery everywhere. i've tried using google and not found much.
i was wondering if it would be possible to use a 12volt light on a bike. i want to use a 12 volt light on my one bike but don't want to be carrying a 12 volt battery everywhere. i've tried using google and not found much.
I carried a near 30 pound battery around yesterday on a bike ride (40 pounds total in backpack) to power 180 led lights... something, that while I got a lot of compliments... is something I will never do again. I was worried they would drain the battery and I over compensated by many many sizes too large!
4 18650s in series is 14.4 volt. 8 1.5 AA in series is 12 volt, or 10 1.2 volt NiMH AA in series, that's also 12 volts.
Using modern LEDs with a step down setup, 14.4 volts is enough to power 3 Cree XP-Gs for 900+ lumens.
Here's an example of a 14.4 volt 18650 li-ion. 13 ounces.
Sure, using 12 volt lighting was pretty much what everyone did up until about 3 years ago when really bright LEDs became the standard. There are still people using them. I have my old 12v halogen in the garage as a backup.
If you want to run a 12v light, you pretty much need 12 volts. But as people above have said, there are many ways to get 12 volts. I started out with an 8 pound lead acid battery, but after a year I bought a 14.4v NiMH bottle battery. These days I'd use LiIon.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
LED are great but i have not found something good enough to light up the path in front of me when i'm biking trails at night. my friend has a brand new Sealed-beam halogen headlamp from his old jeep that he said that i could have and i was thinking it would make a great light if only i could power it. i know it would require a lot of power and would drain small batteries fairly quickly. i was hoping i could use a generator. i have a 6VAC generator but obviously that would not be enough on its own. is there any way i could use the generator to charge some small batteries?
You could use a 12v 4.5 AH sealed rechargeable gel battery. It's the type that they use in house alarm backup systems. It weighs about 3 lbs and you can get a charger from Z Battery or any other battery supplier pretty cheap.
I use a 6v 4.5 AH battery that I carry in my small trunk bag. Works great.
if i have not seen the new LEDs then show me. i have not found a LED bike light that works good for me. LEDs make great flashlights but i can't find a bike light that creates enough light when i am on the trails at night. that is why i want to use a 12 volt light that i knows creates enough light. i just don't want to carry the heavy batteries that go with it.
some of those lights might work for what i need but the price for something like that is way more than i want to spend on a light for my bike.
The MagicShine 1400 should light up most anything. I find the 900 good enough but I'm on the road. The 1400 is about $125. I think by the time you get done dinking around with stuff, if your time is worth anything at all to you, the $125 isn't a bad price.
My MagicShine 900 definitely puts out WAY more light than the 20 watt halogen that I used to use. Heck, my P7 flashlight at $60 with charger and battery puts out more light than the 20 watt halogen.
The only reason I'd go for a halogen these days would be if I ABSOLUTELY could not afford $60 (for a flashlight and charger), but I could afford $50 (about what I think it would cost to build a cheap halogen with battery and charger). Even then I think I'd see if I could find some bottles to return to make up the $10, because a flashlight is so much more convenient.
The flashlight doesn't have uninterrupted runtime though. For that I'd have to spend $85 and get the MagicShine.

Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
thanks for the links. those lights look great but there too expensive for me. i might just try cutting up a 6 volt flash light and sticking a 4.5volt bulb in it so that it should work with my generator
If you can't afford that, well, you shouldn't be riding a bike at night.
thats not too bad of a price for a bike light. i might order one in a week or so when i get some extra money for one. i already spent my extra money for this month on a small flux core welder.

Regarding generators, the only 12V dynamo system for bikes I know of is made by Busch & Mueller, http://www.bumm.de/index-e.html (click "Catalogue" on the navigation). But a dynamo based system is definitely NOT good for off-road riding. I'd definitely look into battery operated lights.
None of the cheap flashlight type designs are "bike lights". No design effort went into them to make them bike specific, apart from making or rebranding a handlebar/helmet mount. Fortunately, in your case (riding on trails) none of that matters much. A simple cone shaped beam is probably more useful to you than the more expensive shaped beam designed for biking in traffic.
When you buy a light, remember to budget something for a reasonably good charger and batteries. Charger and batteries will likely last longer than the light, especially in off road use.

If you want bright lights, you'll have to carry around some kind of battery. That doesn't mean you have to use lead acid. There are lighter weight batteries out there. NiMH is still a pretty good battery and it's charge to weight ratio is reasonable while it's cost is very good. Li-ion batteries have a higher charge to weight ratio but they are still expensive batteries.
If you want more light, you can always go back to halogen. It's not as efficient as LED but it can be made brighter. Look here and here for details. However, for the cost, the Magic Shine lights are hard to beat. My team and I used them for the 24hr of E-Rock this spring. They are very good, only a little dimmer than the halogen and much have much less weight. For trail riding...and commuting for that matter...get at least 2. One for the bars and one for the helmet. Even if you run halogen, you should have at least 2 lights.

thanks for the advise and info. now that i know what i'm kind of looking for now i have been searching and found a few in my price range right now and was wondering what you think.
First off, AAA cells won't even deliver ONE amp. But even if they did, that would give you about a 10 minute runtime.
They may be trying to imply that it puts out as much light as a 17 watt incandescent lamp. But they'd need at least a 2 or 3 watt LED to do that, and even that is problematic with AAA cells.
Same analysis holds for the other one.
If you do decide to get these, be sure to let us know how it works out. I suspect that you'll go down the road a bunch of us did (including myself) - I spent $20 to $35 each on about 5 lights before finally giving up and spending the money to get a real light. I blew more money on crappy lights in the end than if I'd just bought a good light to start with.
I think a lot of us have a shoebox full of crappy useless $20 lights that we'd be happy to mail to you.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
Sorry but for riding trails, you want a steady light output that is independent of speed. That cuts dynamo lights out of the equation.

Spend the money on something like the Magicshine lights as they are a practical and lightweight solution. What you are thinking of is neither practical nor will it be that much cheaper by the time you purchase batteries, a charger etc.
The LED flashlights tend to have beams which are too narrow for mountain biking off road at night. For that you want a relatively wide beam so you can see branches etc.

i understand that i can not use a 12 volt light because the amount of wattage would greatly exceed the output of the generator. my generator is only 6 volt AC 3 watts or 4.5volts DC. i think i might try the 17 watt one. i have lots of rechargeable AAA batteries from my remote control cars and i don't want to spend too much money on a light for my bikes that i get for free.
Read my post above on the "17 watt" LED you linked to. It's not possible to draw 17 watts from three AAA cells. That's about 4 times the power that a AAA cell can put out at its best. I think what you'll wind up with if you buy that is a not-particularly-impressive cheap flashlight.

While profiling local band The Head and the Heart for this week's upcoming edition of Rocket Queen , I caught 3 of the band's 5
While profiling local band The Head and the Heart for this week's upcoming edition of Rocket Queen, I caught 3 of the band's 5 members performing individual sets at Conor Byrne, the club where the band members originally met. I realized immediately that I really need to hit that venue more often. The Head and the Heart solo sets by Josiah Johnson, Charity Thielen and Jon Russell were mesmerizing, room-silencing events, but so were the efforts by the other artists taking turns at the mic.
Right before Bryan John Appleby took the stage, Johnson told me he thought he was probably one of the best performers in the city, but that he just wasn't much of a self-promoter. Well, I'm now on a personal mission to get the word out about this soft-spoken fellow. He was kind enough to give me a copy of his CD, and it was the first thing I played on my radio show this weekend. You can check out two tracks from his self-titled, self-released EP over on MySpace (I'm currently enamored with "The Rider, the Horse, the Land") and you can catch him at the Can Can on Thursday, August 12.
