It's November 2004, and a group of Marines called the Lava Dogs of the First Battalion,Third Marine Regiment, stationed in Fallujah, Iraq, are about to clear a room in an abandoned home when they hear a suspicious sound. Instead of immediately shooting, which could save their lives if an enemy were in the other room, the Marines just listen. They hear something small sniffing and clicking around the old home. Before anyone can shoot, they notice what it is: a puppy. From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava by Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman is the story of what happens to a puppy who attaches himself to a group of Marines.
There was more than one wide-scale genocide in the 20th century. In 1916, the Turkish Minister of the Interior Talaat Pasha sent a letter to the government of Aleppo in Syria reminding them that all Armenians living in Turkey were be destroyed completely: "An end must be put to their existence, however criminal the measures taken may be, and no regard must be paid to either age or sex nor to conscientious scruples." It was an order that was to be echoed by Adolph Hitler in 1939 in pursuing the end of "the Polish-speaking race." Hitler added, "After all, who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?"
Just what makes those Lucky Charms so "magically delicious™?" Why, the imprisonment of leprechauns, unicorns, uni…cats and other fantastic creatures.
At least, that's according to Cold Cereal, the new fantasy novel by Adam Rex.
Goodborough, New Jersey, is the home of Goodco, a sugary cereal company that dominates millions of breakfast tables with an iron spoon—er…fist. The town is also the new home of Scottish Play Doe and his family. His mother has just accepted a job there. Scott's absent dad is a famous actor whose latest claim to fame is punching the Queen of England in the face.
Making friends at a new school is pretty hard when you have a name as strange as Scott's. Thankfully, he finds some pretty weird friends. Erno and Emily Utz are genius twins who look nothing alike. Their foster father, Mr. Wilson, also works for Goodco and is constantly challenging them with games of coded logic. Like when he suddenly stops using the letter E.
I used to have an old Volvo that broke down frequently. The problem was a hose that would fly off of the engine. I always carried a screwdriver which I would use to reattach the hose and go on my way. One morning I was rushing in the door to work after one of these episodes when my supervisor stopped me. "What happened to you?" she asked with concern. I had no idea what she was talking about until I followed her eyes down to my arms and realized that my forearms were covered with black dirt and grease.
I explained about having to fix my car on the way to work, and she just stood and stared at me silently for a very awkward minute. Suddenly she burst into song! "I am woman. Hear me roar. With numbers too big to ignore. And I've come too far to turn back and pretend." She turned to walk away but kept on singing at the top of her lungs. Her song only died away when she turned the corner and went down the other hall.
Right then and there I decided to get a new car.
"Our beliefs do not determine what is true or false. They do not determine objective reality. But they do determine what we see."
In Believing Is Seeing, Errol Morris investigates the complex relationship between documentary photographs and the truth we assume they deliver. Best known as the gifted documentarian behind films such as The Fog of War, Standard Operating Procedure, and The Thin Blue Line, Morris has spent years pondering how authenticity, truth, and appearance converge and complicate one another. It is hardly surprising then that Morris's analysis of documentary photography is insightful and accessible.
Errol Morris's cinematic explorations often fixate on a specific figure or series of events. He then breathes life into the topic by artfully combining provocative interviews and extensive research. Believing is Seeing successfully incorporates this methodology while simultaneously deconstructing the very notion of documentary veracity. The book consists of essays, each one describing a case study in which documentary photographs created controversy, conflicting interpretations, or troubling implications. Morris elucidates both the context and reception of each image with interviews and archival research.
He also analyzes both contemporary and historical images, demonstrating that many of the same issues and questions have been recurring since the advent of photography. Whether the photograph was taken in 1855 during the Crimean War or in 2003 at Abu Ghraib, our collective tendency to equate an image with a finalized truth has been problematic. To borrow Morris's succinct phrasing, "…photographs allow us to think we know more than we really do. We can imagine a context that isn't really there."
Grace Manning is a fifteen-year-old candy striper at a local nursing home, Hanover House, with a spunky attitude. Her life has been in a free fall since her father recently left her mother, sister, and her to build a new life with a woman from the church where he used to take his daughters every Sunday. Grace's mother doesn't quite have a stance on her beliefs about God, but church was always the place Grace and her sister Sophie went with their father. Now that their father is gone Grace has to come to terms with her religious beliefs. In God is in the Pancakes, by Robin Epstein, Grace must sort out life, love, friendship, and God.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg is a wonderful book. It's funny, it's southern, it has quirky characters, but a wonderful sense of family and place. "This classic and folksy novel takes readers back to the thirties, where a friendship blooms between two girls who run a homey, little cafe in Alabama. A story of food, love, laughter, and even murder unfolds as an elderly woman relates her life story to a middle-aged friend." (Book summary).
If you like Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe here are similar titles that you may enjoy:
Clover by Dori Sanders
After her father dies within hours of being married to a white woman, a ten-year-old black girl learns with her new mother to overcome grief and to adjust to a new place in their rural black South Carolina community. (catalog summary)
Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns.
July 5, 1906...was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a
widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson - a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee. (synopsis)
Zita the Spacegirl gets down to business right away. It starts with two friends, a mysterious crater, and a device that opens a portal to another dimension.
Meek Joseph is immediately captured by a tentacled being with a deep sea diver's helmet. Adventurous Zita, in a daring effort to save her friend, follows the creature through the portal. A strange alien planet exists on the other side, and Zita finds that she is not welcomed with open arms.
The Left Bank Gang opens with a dog shuffling down the streets of 1920's Paris, keeping mostly to himself. He ignores a panhandler, but then sees another dog that he recognizes. They shake hands. One dog's name is Ezra Pound. The other's is Ernest Hemingway.
Gang is a clever nugget of alternate history fiction. Rather than focusing on complex geopolitical questions like "What if the Germans won World War II?" Norwegian cartoonist Jason turns to the zeitgeist of expatriate writers such as Pound, Fitzgerald, Joyce, and Hemingway. His hypothesis is "What if all of these starving geniuses just got fed up and turned to crime?"
Harley Day was a mean, shiftless, good-for-nothing drunk. He regularly beat up on his wife and kids. So when he was found frozen to death in a snowbank outside his house, no one seemed to mourn. After all, The Old Buzzard Had It Coming--which is the title of the first Alafair Tucker mystery by Donis Casey.
Set in 1912, this book introduces Alafair Tucker, who lives with her husband and nine children on the Oklahoma frontier. It's an interesting look at frontier life at the beginning of the 20th century. Some of the details seem so modern, but much of the day-to-day life for a frontier ranching family seems like unbelievable deprivation and hardship 100 years on.

- El SalvadorHousingFunding via Apoyo Integral
WilfredoEl SalvadorHousingFunding via Apoyo Integral
Edgardo Enr...El SalvadorHousingFunding via Apoyo Integral
He has worked all his life growing maize and beans, and this is how he provides for his family.
He is asking for a loan through FUASI to invest in the building of a septic tank. With the loan he intends to buy cement, sand, gravel and bricks, as well as paying for the septic tank to be built. Optaciano says that he has the means to repay the loan..
Optaciano de 64 años de edad habita en casa propia junto con su esposa y sus dos hijos de 14 y 13 años de edad. Para él lo más importante es su familia y es por ella que traba duramente para llevar el sustento diario. Toda su vida se ha dedicado al cultivo de maíz y frijoles y de esa forma mantiene a su familia. Solicita este crédito a FUSAI para invertir en la construcción de una fosa séptica. Con el crédito comprará cemento, arena, grava, ladrillo y pagará la construcción de la misma. Optaciano expresa tener la capacidad de pago que el crédito implica.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will be administered by FUSAI (Salvadoran Foundation for Comprehensive Development), a Salvadoran NGO that owns Kiva partner Apoyo Integral. FUSAI will disburse this loan in order to reach a population that doesn't currently work with Apoyo Integral. This type of loan covers basic services (like housing and water), and supports small business and agricultural activities. Borrowers come from low-income families in rural and peri-urban communities, and are considered to be too poor or lack the proper guarantees to get credit through traditional banks or microfinance institutions. Before receiving their loans, they are vetted by local community organizations and enrolled in classes in financial literacy, and the importance of sanitation, potable water and clean energy. Additionally, FUSAI enables borrowers to guarantee one another and take out loans smaller than El Salvador's average. Important to note is El Salvador is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, holding the 2nd place in the ranking of murders per capita. All these FUSAI borrowers live in areas considered by the police as highly violent and dangerous, mainly because of gangs influence. Main risks they face in these areas are thefts, extortions, kidnappings and murders.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

The product that has had the most radical (positive) effect on our beauty regimen isn't a miracle cream or a long-wearing lipstick. It's a piece of super soft elastic. Twistbands are a permanent fixture in the Birchbox office—on staffers' wrists, in their ponytails, and even decorating their water bottles. We're fans because they keep hair secure without snagging strands or leaving behind ugly creases. (And because they're cute, of course.) This exclusive set includes 15 of our favorites, from lace to neon varieties, plus three holiday-appropriate headbands.
What I love about these is that they stay in place without grabbing or damaging your hair. The fact you can wear them around your wrist to have a hair band handy at all times is a bonus. Love all the colors, patterns and textures that come in the sampler set.5
It seemed like everyone was obsessed with these hair ties and bands and I thought I'd try them too to see what all the rage is about. They're definitely cute but is it worth the money? I'm not sure. My drugstore elastics that are like 100 for 4 bucks work just fine too...3
I loved these because they don't cut of the circulation on your wrists when you wear them and because the headbands can be adjusted I just wish there was a little more elastic in them i have thick hair so they definitely can't hold up my hair without a little extra help4
I can't say enough good things about twistbands. I absolutely love everything about the product. It seriously does not leave a "bump" in my hair, ever. The colors are wonderful-so fun and a great variety. They also double as cute bracelets. I will definitely continue to purchase twistbands, for myself and friends :)5
I absolutely LOVE these for when I braid my hair! They looks so cute and I like all the fun bright colors and patterns. My only complaint is that they don't hold my hair in a regular ponytail very well because my hair is so thick and fine. Even with that, I would still buy more for myself and for others as gifts!3

OK, real hip hop fans, consider this track and video to be an early Christmas present courtesy of Rochester, NY. This video is a compilation of a few of the most prominent rappers in the area and it is most certainly one for the streets!
"Stop Skeemin" the Track
"Stop Skeemin" features SunNY "Voice of the People", Mr. "Young, Fat, and Fabulous aka Pounds , and the local sensation turned Atlien heavy weight, Jazzy Kennedi; truly the proverbial recipe for greatness. Each of these artists has their own established styles, fan bases, and swagger which makes this track that much more of an exciting collaboration. The track itself is essentially a collective call to action for people to quit doing shady and underhanded things to get ahead; a message that will certainly be well received amongst any group of prosperous people or even those working towards it honestly.
"Stop Skeemin" the Video
The video itself is a literal adaptation of the lyrics of the lyrics to the track; the guys show the many dangers and issues that are associated with jealousy and envy when one is, or is becoming successful. So check out the video and decide if you want to start listening to these artists, or if you just wish they would stop.

NFL Sharps Picks: Week 14
NFL Sharps Picks: Week 14
This is a compilation of what the top handicappers in the Las Vegas Hilton Super Contest are selecting each week. I'd like to thank Matvei for sending this over and providing great analysis for it.
Here's how to read the chart below:
- The first team is the sharps' pick.
- The first number is how many sharps are taking that team.
- The figure in the parantheses is the difference between the number of sharps taking that team versus the number of sharps betting against them.
- The second team is the opponent.
- The number at the end is the number of sharps taking the opponent.
Here's this week's Sharps picks:
Seattle 16 [16*] St Louis 0
San Francisco 21 [15] Arizona 6
Detroit 13 [13*] Minnesota 0
Atlanta 15 [12] Carolina 3
New England 12 [9] Washington 3
Houston 14 [8] Cincinnati 6
NY Giants 12 [8] Dallas 4
Green Bay 13 [7] Oakland 6
San Diego 7 [5] Buffalo 2
Tampa Bay 6 [3] Jacksonville 3
Tennessee 11 [2] New Orleans 9
Miami 7 [2] Philadelphia 5
NY Jets 6 [2] Kansas City 4
Chicago 7 [1] Denver 6
Indianapolis 3 [1] Baltimore 2
Matvei's Analysis:
Please note that the Seahawks and Lions both have much better lines in the contest than they do at the moment in Vegas (both -7), which ought to explain the preponderance of action on their side(s).

Too Talented for the MLS?
The Red Bulls can score. They are famous. They have three All-Star starters. And, since the start of May, they've hardly won.
The last two months have been filled with wild inconsistencies for the Red Bulls and part of the problem may lie not in the Red Bulls themselves but rather in a philosophical clash.
The aesthetically-pleasing style that the Red Bulls' stars have imported from Europe doesn't seem to be working against the lumbering defenders of the MLS, who are less talented but more bruising. As Red Bulls midfielder Dax McCarty put it: "This league is not to the point right now where you can play 'good football' all the time and be rewarded for it."
The Red Bulls have a handful of players who resonate "The Beautiful Game." Thierry Henry starred for London's Arsenal, known for its glitzy passing under manager Arsene Wenger. And Rafa Marquez was a part of the well-oiled Barcelona scoring machine that steamrolled over Europe in the last decade. Despite finding success since debuting last summer (Henry has nine goals this season), both players have been as erratic as their teammates. As MLS defenders hunker down, Red Bulls manager Hans Backe said that the team has been "dragged into some physical football, and that's not the type of football we want to play."
Even though the Red Bulls lead the MLS in goals and shots, this is a league that's ruled by defense. MLS defenders have dampened all of the league's offenses: through 170 games this season, MLS games average 2.4 goals per game—compare that with 2.8 per game in England's Premier League and 2.7 in Spain's La Liga. Even Italy's Serie A, the epicenter of defensive soccer, scores slightly more (2.5 goals per game) than the MLS.
On Saturday, the Red Bulls dropped a dull 1-0 decision to the mediocre D.C. United. Their 5-0 win over Toronto on Wednesday night was just the team's second since May 1.
On Monday, New York got more evidence they are perhaps the most talented team in the MLS, as Henry, Marquez and Tim Ream were named MLS All-Star Game starters and will face Manchester United on July 27 at Red Bull Arena. But despite an ample supply of star power, the Red Bulls have just the fifth-most points in the league. They are tied with Philadelphia for the lead atop the Eastern Conference and are just 1-2-7 on the road.
The Red Bulls have other problems, aside from their stylistic battles. They've struggled mightily with goalkeeping. Three goalkeepers—Greg Sutton, Bouna Coundoul and Alex Horwath—have started for the team and none have been able to stop the parade of errors, resulting in 24 goals allowed—only four teams in the 18-team MLS have conceded more.
But the problem still falls on how well their style of play fits in the MLS. Many of their midfielders, who rely on finesse, haven't contributed on defense and on Saturday, Backe repeatedly expressed doubts over their style of play.
"I think if you look at the balance in our midfield, it's a lot of so-called football players, technical skill, pace. But we could see normally it's only Teemu Tainio who's winning 50-50 balls for us," Backe said. "And even if you are a so-called football player, technical wise, you just need to use your body. You need to step out in a better pressing game, win 50-50's because that's normally where the battle is, it's in midfield."
Star forward Juan Agudelo said Backe has told the team to play with "more anger" in the event the other team tries to knock them around. Agudelo's only concern is scoring goals.
"Maybe we pass the ball too much," he said. "But we need to get the ball in the box and hope that something happens."

I've moved over to a new blog, The Occasional Nomads. We're still living the good life on Kaua'i, but my husband and I are looking to the future and making plans. I hope you'll come and check it out!
Technical Difficulties
I've been unable to access anything via WordPress for the past few days (including anyone else's WordPress blog) – this post is being written through a proxy site. The problem seems to be with our home ISP and it is being investigated and will hopefully be fixed soon. If it can't be fixed I will have to transfer the blog over to a new platform (basically starting from scratch).
Anyway, if I don't answer your comments, or there isn't a new post for a while, I hope you'll understand. But keep your fingers crossed that the problem gets resolved!
We have Internet service again!
We have FINALLY gotten moved in and settled. It was a bit more of an effort than we thought it would be, but that's mainly because we hadn't moved in a long, long time, especially inter-state, and forgot just how much work is involved in getting things set up, and getting settled in. But, it feels like we're finally home after a few months of sleeping in someone else's beds, eating off of someone else's dishes, etc.
Here's a brief catch-up on what's been going on:
- We are all really enjoying our new house. It's a good size for the five of us, and we brought just the right amount of stuff. We call it "The Treehouse" (I need to figure out how to say that in Hawaiian) – up here on the second floor we have a view of trees from every window. We also have great breezes flowing through most of the day, although there seems to be a couple of hours each evening where the tradewinds die down and the air gets still. Thankfully that's only temporary. Our neighborhood is quite rural, too – there's a cow living across the street! If I had to find one thing I don't like it's that we're not within walking distance of anything – no shops, restaurants, etc. We have to get in the car to go anywhere.
- We have nice neighbors all around.
- The refrigerator in the house didn't work all that well when we moved in, especially the freezer, which would barely make ice. We brought our own small chest freezer along so we managed, but instead of fixing the old fridge the landlord bought us a beautiful, brand new one which was delivered three days ago! He is also having a water filter installed at the sink (it was supposed to have been done yesterday – the handyman showed up, checked things out and said he was going out to get some parts . . . and never returned. It turned out he couldn't find the parts anywhere on the island. What can you say . . . it's Hawai'i).
- Amazon Prime has been our best friend these past two weeks. There have been all sorts of things we haven't been able to find here, but have been able to get from Amazon with free shipping, including a small bookcase and a lovely little bedside table for WenYu and YaYu's room. Shipments have all arrived within three days. The annual cost for Prime is $99 – we've decided to go ahead and pay the fee as we have gotten way more than that back in free shipping already. Plus, we now have access to all sorts of movies, TV shows and books – I think we will get our money's worth out of the membership.
- Meiling got a part-time job working in a gelato shop! It's just 2 – 4 days per week, but she likes the work and especially likes the tips she gets. She will begin driving lessons soon. She hasn't made up her mind whether she likes it here or not, or whether she wants to stay. We bought a new inflatable bed for her to sleep on in the meantime.
- Just two more weeks until WenYu and YaYu go back to school. They are both excited and dreading it, but say they are ready to go. Orientation will be on August 1. WenYu got her learner's permit the other day and will be taking driver's ed after school this fall (and yes, I finally got my driver's license too). Both girls have also gotten child care work from our neighbors up front.
- It is humid here, but nowhere near as bad as back east on the mainland. Still, it's an adjustment for us, coming from a place where there was no humidity (rain yes, but no humidity). Bugs haven't proven to be too big of a problem . . . yet, although we do have quite a few mosquitos down in front of and in the garage. The only thing we've encountered in the house are geckos, but there haven't been all that many of those either. The girls love them though, especially the little bitty ones.
- I am hoping we can start to get our food budget sorted out this next month. Our first month here was expensive (which was expected) as we had to buy so many pantry and staple items (vinegar, sugar, stuff like that).
- I'm still trying to figure out cooking here as well. It's too hot to use the oven or stove most evenings, so we have been grilling quite a bit and have used the slow cooker or made salads. I just don't feel like I've established any sort of rhythm with meals yet, and haven't felt much like sitting down to do any sort of planning. It will come though. WenYu and YaYu asked if they could cook for us a couple of nights a week and have done a good job so far, but we need to talk more about what sort of things they'd like to fix.
- I ♥♥♥ going to the beach here! I have rediscovered how wonderful sitting in my beach chair in the sun (coated with SPF 60) and swimming in the ocean can be. Our goal is to go at least a couple of times a week, just for an hour or two, but this past week there's been a lot of rain so we haven't been able to go (and are so glad we are not here on vacation!). Our favorite beach is Brennecke's, down in Poipu on the south shore, but we have gone to a few others around the island as well – they're all beautiful. I never get tired of seeing the ocean.
That's all I can think of for now – sorry it's so disjointed. I'm looking forward to getting back to regular posting!
Temporarily Incommunicado
We're all moved in to the new Chez Aloha, but without Internet service for the next couple of weeks (and cellular service is very spotty where we are). I'll be back once we're wired again.
Sunday Early Evening Chit Chat
I had hoped to get this written and posted earlier today, but we headed over to the house intending to work for just a couple of hours and ended up staying for over four hours.
Today is our last full day in the rental condo – tomorrow we finally move into our Kaua'i home! Pictures have been hung, beds have been made, everything has been put away except for one stack of books that we can't find a place for – it's looking like we will have to purchase or find a small bookcase of some kind for those.
We are all very, very tired of living out of a suitcase and greatly looking forward to living in our own home again with our own things, knowing we don't have to pack it all up in a couple of weeks to go somewhere else. We have enjoyed our time here in the condo, especially the close proximity to the pool and the beach, and it has provided us with a clean and comfortable place to stay while we put our house together, but it is time to go and get on with our life in Kaua'i. Tomorrow we will get up and clean, load up the car with the last of our stuff and head for home.
This afternoon/evening I am:
- Reading? Still working my way through Just One Evil Act. I am enjoying it immensely.
- Watching? WenYu and I plan to watch another three episodes of Downton Abbey: Season 4 later this evening. It has been a pleasure watching the series again, especially with WenYu, and we are both immensely looking forward to Season 5's arrival in the fall.
- Listening to? The tradewinds are strong today, so lots of tree rustling going on outside, and lots of birds chirping as well. Otherwise it's pretty quiet here (although we have acquired some rather noisy neighbors here at the condo).
- Cooking/baking? Today is leftovers and clean out the fridge day here so we're all eating lots of weird stuff. Dinner tonight will be hot and spicy chicken wings, leftover rice, leftover grilled chicken, papaya, salad, and yogurt for dessert. It's difficult to transport refrigerated food here, even with a cooler – everything gets warm very fast – so we want to eat as much up as possible before we head to the house.
- Excited about? Other than finally living in our own home again, Monkeypod Jam's Lilikoi Curd reappeared this week! Lilikoi is passionfruit, and this curd is heaven in a jar. I tasted it when we were here in 2012 and have been faithfully waiting for it ever since. All of Monkeypod's jams are delicious, but Lilikoi Curd is my favorite (my second favorite is the Tahitian Lime Curd – tastes like key lime pie). It's only available for a few months every year so I am stocking up.
- Thankful for today? That I live in Hawai'i – – it is astoundingly beautiful here and I am reveling in the sunshine. I'm also deeply thankful for SPF 60 sunscreen. It really works.
- Hoping to accomplish next week? The big task will be to help Meiling find a job, taking her around to different businesses to fill out applications, etc. I'd also like to get her signed up for driving instruction, but think she needs to find a job first so we know her schedule.
- Thinking about financially? We have one last "big" purchase to make here: a new gas grill. Part of me is sick to death of spending money, but we have dreamed of the opportunity to grill year round and buying a grill here is part of that. So, we will need to go over the budget again and see how much we can afford to spend on a grill, and then head to Home Depot and see if that have anything that fits our budget and needs.
Thank you again Carla, for hosting Sunday Night Chit Chat!
Waimea Canyon Day Trip
Earlier this week, the Chez Aloha family decided to take a break from the sturm und drang of moving and head to west Kaua'i to visit Waimea Canyon. We had planned a visit for the last day of our 2012 visit, but discovered a large nail in our tire that morning and instead spent (wasted) the day taking care of that issue. Since we still have a few days left in the condo, we figured this would be our big chance to get over to see the canyon since Waimea is only 16 miles away from our temporary lodgings on the south shore.
Waimea Canyon is approximately 10 miles long, and up to 3,600 feet deep in places, and was carved by the Waimea River, which begins in the highest mountain on the island, Mt. Wai'ale'ale (which averages over 430″ of rain per year – the rainiest place on the planet!). Mark Twain called Waimea Canyon the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," referring not just to its appearance, but to the scale of the canyon. Waimea Canyon State Park is accessible by car, and there are numerous hiking trails as well (of which The Big Kahuna will be partaking in the future).
At the end of the highway through the state park is another, Kokee State Park, where you can camp or stay in the lodge. Kokee State Park is home to the spectacular Kalalau Valley overlook and the view of the Na Pali coast. We missed going this far because Meiling did not feel well, and we decided to turn back. But, it gives us a great reason to visit again – I'm greatly looking forward to it!
My Minimalist Hawaii Wardrobe
I've never been much of a clothes person, but I have honestly been surprised by how much my wardrobe decreased with this move. There's only one season here – warm – so it was fairly easy to trim clothing items down to those that are practical for Hawaii's tropical climate.
Plus, one of my favorite things about living on Kaua'i is that no one cares what you're wearing. Well, I care of course, and I'm guessing my husband and the girls do as well somewhat, but there really is no big push here to dress up or coordinate outfits. You can get all fancy if you like, but for the most part, casual and comfortable are what's in around the island. I love it.
I counted things up the other day, and my total number of clothing items (leaving out undergarments and sleepwear) for daily wear now consists of just 30 pieces. Most of them are at least a couple of years old if not older, and several pieces came from thrift stores. I didn't buy anything new to come over here other than two bathing suits:
- 4 pairs of linen cropped pants (super comfy and cool) in neutral colors
- 1 pair white capris
- 1 pair lightweight khaki cotton pants – the legs can be rolled to make them cropped or capri length, if desired
- 1 blue cotton tie-dyed skirt
- 6 cotton short-sleeve t-shirts
- 1 sleeveless t-shirt
- 4 linen long-sleeve big shirts
- 4 cotton tanks that coordinate with the linen shirts
- 1 pink cotton shirt with 3/4 length sleeves
- 1 orange sleeveless cotton shirt
- 2 bathing suits, 1 purple and 1 turquoise
- 1 pareo that coordinates with both suits – I found it several years ago at a Portland yard sale for just $5!
- 1 straw hat
- 1 pair blue Birkenstock sandals
- 1 lightweight blue hoodie
- 1 lightweight black cardigan
I also share several pairs of "slippahs" (flip flops) with the girls, and have a bag of clothing in a space bag that's still in my suitcase, but I don't miss any of those pieces and imagine they will eventually go to a thrift store except for the two pair of black yoga pants – I may need them for a visit to the mainland or Japan. I also have two pair of Keen sandals, but have yet to put them on since we've arrived and am not sure whether they will stick around or not (most likely not for the black pair). They are great for walking or hiking though, so maybe I should keep them.
Daily wear these days is typically one of the t-shirts and the linen pants; I usually save the white capris to wear with one of the linen shirts for "dressing up," which I actually haven't done since we've arrived. I love that the linen pants don't need to be ironed and looking wrinkled is actually expected. The t-shirts are easy care as well. And, nothing is easier that slipping on a pair of Birks or flip flops as you head out the door.
I'd like to say I could get used to this except I already am!

Oklahoma State football: Quinn Sharp's redemption kick caps Cowboys' wild ride
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Oklahoma State's celebration at midfield of University of Phoenix Stadium on Monday night signaled redemption as much as victory.
For Quinn Sharp, whose potential game-winning field goal that sailed over the right upright at Iowa State more than a month ago symbolized just how close the Cowboys were to making the national championship game.
For an OSU defense that gave up two grinding touchdown drives in the second half that lasted six minutes or longer and allowed Stanford to get into field-goal range in the final seconds.
For a Cowboy offense that could not turn a Stanford fumble recovered at the Cardinal three-yard line into a touchdown.
Sharp's 22-yard field goal in overtime capped a thrilling 41-38 Fiesta Bowl victory for the Cowboys in a game it appeared that OSU had lost with three seconds remaining in regulation.
Sharp's winning kick came after Stanford's Jordan Williamson missed a 35-yarder as time expired in regulation and then a 43-yarder to start the first overtime period.
"Every time we got down, we were resilient and came back," OSU coach Mike Gundy said.
After OSU tied the game with 2:35 to play in the fourth on a four-yard touchdown run by Joseph Randle, Andrew Luck directed Stanford on a nine-play 63-yard drive down to the OSU 17. But Williamson's kick sailed wide left, giving the Cowboys extra life.
Following Williamson's second miss, Colton Chelf sent OSU into a momentary frenzy when he snagged a 25-yard pass from Weeden and appeared to score. A replay review showed he was tacked just shy of the goal line. But Sharp's kick sailed through the uprights two plays later to give OSU its first-ever 12-win season and BCS bowl victory.
"When the opportunity arose, I just wanted to make it count for those guys (on offense and defense)," Sharp said.
OSU gained just 13 rushing yards and ran 24 fewer plays than Stanford. But Weeden and Justin Blackmon connected eight times for 186 yards and three touchdowns in their final game as teammates.
And in the offensive shootout that was generally expected, the Cowboys did just enough.
"I have a lot of faith in our players and our coaches," Gundy said. "This is a big, big game. And I'm excited. But I just let them do it."
Said Weeden: "I would say this is probably the biggest win in Oklahoma State football history. This is the 12th win, and it's never been done.
"This season has been an unbelievable ride."

I'm out for a 14 mile jaunt on the Greenway, which sucks at the moment as they are in the midst of working on "high power lines," and a section is cut off so one has to jump the railroad tracks and hit Cedar Lake Rd, which is nice with the wide shoulders, but annoying with hills, and the wind was up today. You also need to keep in mind this is the end of January, in Minnesota, when we usually have our coldest weather. Well, I'm out riding and I see Robins, Mother Nature's sign of Spring being around the corner. I don't think I've ever seen a Robin in January, ever, well in the Texas Hill Country sure, but not MN, not the dead of winter.
So I start wondering if the animals know something that we don't. I mean the animals knew the Tsunami was coming, it's said that ads for missing animals usually precede earthquakes.
Anyone want to hazard a guess? Are we getting ready for some polar shift or something? And if Spring is really just around the corner, what is June and July going to be like?

Cale Piland's ears were the first things to notice.
Piland was the football coach at Evergreen High School, and it wasn't his eyes that provided the first clue that Bobby Cowan was different — and special.
"The sound was different when you were around him kicking the football," said Piland, now the coach at Union High School. "When he would punt, we would be warming up, and the other team would look around to see what that sound was.
"It sounded like the ball was going to explode."
Cowan, a 2008 graduate of Evergreen, has since become one of the premier punters in college football. The University of Idaho junior was selected last week as a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America.
Not that there was any grand ceremony announcing the award.
"I got a text from a friend of mine, and then my dad called," Cowan said. "I was surprised, actually. I had punted well, but I was surprised."
Cowan averaged 46.4 yards per kick this year, second in the nation behind the 47.0 mark by Florida State's Shawn Powell. He booted 32 punts of 50 yards or longer among his 88 attempts, and had 17 kicks pin the opponent inside the 20-yard line.
Not bad for a guy who didn't know if he wanted to be a punter or a quarterback coming out of high school. After throwing for 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns at Evergreen, Cowan considered going to a lower-division program such as Central Washington or Carroll College to play quarterback.
Instead, he decided to kick at the Division I-A level, walking on his first two years at Idaho before earning a scholarship.
"I consider myself a football player; no doubt about it," said Cowan, who is 6-foot-5, 232 pounds and is still listed as a quarterback on the Idaho website, although he doesn't work out at the position. "In high school, I played multiple positions — wide receiver, quarterback, middle linebacker — and I punted and kicked."
Being accepted as a football player sometimes can be difficult for a punter, especially among teammates who ply their trade in the trenches.
"You know, I think they do accept me," Cowan said of his teammates. "I think it's based on how hard you work, like in the weight room. I work hard to show that I'm a football player and not just a punter."
Not that there's anything wrong with being just a punter.
At least if you do it as well as Cowan.
"Obviously, he's got a real special talent," Piland said. "I can imagine he will get a chance to earn some money kicking a football someday."

Bathroom heater insulation
I recently bought a house with an older home with a bathroom heater/exhaust fan. After out inspection I noticed that the cellulose/blown-in insulation was pushed back from or had not been replaced around the heater.
Is there any code or rule about putting insulation around those units? Is it unit specific like a can light?
Best to be safe.
Build a cover for it out of fire rated drywall and seal it to the attic floor.

It is good to be Evan Longoria. He is 27 years old and knows that he will make millions of dollars a season until the year 2023. That has to be a pretty darned good feeling. Not only that, he plays for a team that has been competitive and in the the thick of things for every season he has been in the majors. Then again, there might be a correlation between those two facts in the last sentence. Evan Longoria might be the most indispensable player in baseball. Longoria missed 88 games last season. Only three of them were rest days. All the 85 others were due to injury. While there is always some coincidence is such a statistic, the Tampa Bay Rays were 47-27 in the games he played and 43-45 in games he did not play. Those numbers are fairly stark--a .635 winning percentage with Longoria, .488 without him. The average fan would probably not realize that since his first season in 2008, Evan Longoria has been the third most valuable player in baseball. The list goes like this: Pu...

Skip to comments.Analysis: Cheney attacks may not help GOP (Once again, MSM claims speaking truth is attack on Obama)
Posted on 05/13/2009 3:46:16 AM PDT by tobyhill
To the chagrin, perhaps, of Republicans looking to rebuild the tattered party, Dick Cheney has grabbed the spotlight.
The recurring theme of the once-reclusive and largely unpopular former vice president: President Barack Obama has put Americans in danger of a new terrorist attack by promising to close the Guantanamo Bay prison and banning torture.
When Obama took office, former President George W. Bush went quietly to his new house in Texas, slipped intentionally into anonymity and honored protocol by staying silent about his successor.
But Cheney, widely remembered for heading to undisclosed secure locations at times of national crisis and for working invisibly behind the scenes, has done just the opposite.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
"largely unpopular former vice president"
I believe that Cheney's popularity rating was better than congresse's when he left office. Such a statement makes the whole article suspect of bias. No surprise.
"honored protocol by staying silent about his successor."
Unlike Carter and Clinton.
Today's US press is more of a propaganda machine than Pravda was during the 1960s.
Don't forget albore.
Recall the idiot protesters in Greenwich Village when military action was launched on the Afghanistan bases of Al Qaida and the Taliban. These protests were just blocks from the World Trade Center ruins which were still smoldering at the time. That tells you all you need to know about the hardcore left.
Dick Cheney has every right to speak up! Somebody has to, no other Republican is doing it!!! What is he supposed to do? Sit back and watch Obama destroy this country and be polite by not saying anything to contradict The One?
The man who the MSM themselves imbued with gravitas has jumped the 'drive by' shark in their feeble minds....
Keep 'em on the ropes Dick. No quarter. All hail the Sith lord of conservatism.
Has this partisan reporter weighed in on Jimmy Cartah?
'We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. ... Today, we celebrate our Independence Day.'
Big Time was always popular with me. It is not as if the "attack dog" function is exactly new to this VP. I seem to recall Algore being absolutely apocalyptic in his denunciations of President George W. Bush.
President Bush is showing admirable restraint, as befits his position. Dick Cheney is taking the fight to the Democrats, as befits his position. I would like to think he is positioning himself for a run in 2012, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
They will spin it as Dick Cheney's fault, because he told the terrorists how vulnerable we are. You would think that is a joke, but it's not. That's how they will play it.
His health is way too much of an issue. I would gladly vote for him though, in a minute....
Where are the rest of the Republicans is the real question here.
Bad enough we have a Democrat Kenyan President , Speaker of the House and Senate Leader. We have Republicans hiding and wanting to change the party into RINO's and liberals.
To me, the bottomline is VP Cheney was speaking with sincerety and he was right in what he said, Obamao's actions are making the US more vulnerable to Islamacist Terrorists at home and abroad.
The Dems cannot stand it when people tell the truth about what they are doing.
Dick Cheney is the only bright spot in the sea filled with rudderless assholes.
If recent memory serves me, I believe the press celebrated the fact that Joe Biden was chosen as Obama's running mate to be the "attack dog".
Thank God, Dick Cheney has the stones to tell it like it is. If you and I can see the writing on the wall in spite of the love fest going on for Obama, imagine what he knows! Besides, the press and the libs know he will not back down to them, which is driving them crazy. I would love to see any lib out there go toe to toe with him face to face, especially Obama or Biden. He would chew them up and spit them out all while remaining cool calm and collected. They would be having a hissy fit! LOL!
I have always enjoyed Dick Cheney, and certainly welcome his recent comments. At least someone in the GOP has a backbone and the willingness to say what needs to be said. This whole exchange makes 2010 and 2012 look really depressing, as the Dems buck history and gain seats.....
Cheney is a great man!!! We cannot ever lose sight of the fact that Bush chose Cheney to be his VP.
This is not true. Cheney is more high profile than others so they are at least giving him a platform from which to speak.
It pains me to say this but, if an attack occurs and it will, in a liberal city, I gotta say that my sympathies are wearing very, very thin for the idiots that voted for this vile individual. They have put their own lives in danger as well as their families and neighbors and then they viciously attack anyone who might raise a question. My attitude towards the libs are oh, well. I feel so removed from them that I don't think I would shed a tear, and to me that is sad.
To watch with what evil these people operate is astounding to behold. None of them fear consequences for their behavior, and I suppose it's only right they tend to be atheists or think the next life will honor people as corrupt and vicious as them. But this is nothing but the same old, same old and they keep grasping onto anything to avoid criticism and focus on 0bama. And it's nothing but a continuation of the demonization of Cheney! But they do have something to fear as Cheney's words will hit home so obviously they would like him to 'shut up'. Cheney is a hero for this.
Cheney is a patriot, and his sole interest is to protect this nation from the inexperienced and reckless Kenyan.
Why is no one standing alongside Dick Cheney and defending him and his viewpoint from the GOP?
Where's McConnell, where's Bonior, where's the GOP caucus? Where's Colin Powell?(/s)
The Dems are ALWAYS in sych and on message.
The GOP is showing themselves as losers once again, thinking, well, we won't get our hands dirty in all of this.
The GOP called last week asking why we haven't been sending in any money.
My wife told the guy " Until you guys start fighting the Dems tooth and nail on all their lies and fight this President, you aren't seeing a DIME!"
She's so awesome.
Palin/Cheney 2012 with a strong conservative as speaker.
Well, as the Wall Street types are discovering, Obama doesn't deliver, or rather, he does deliver exactly what he said he would.
National Security is not something Obama cares about, in fact, it is something those that voted for him do not see as a reason not to vote for Obama.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, as they will discover if some major metro areas is attacked by Terrorists.,
My son graduates next week, he was accepted to college but is very torn about joining the Marines. He went again yesterday to meet with the recruiter. I am torn as well. I support the troops wholeheartedly, and I do not want to be a hypocrit, but I don't want my son serving under Obama and this democratic congress. I wish he would go to school for the next 2 yrs. and wait until the midterm elections. I have had family serving since we the beginning in 2002 when we went to Afghanistan up til now, I am more worried now than for their safety than I was over the past few years. Ultimately it will be my son's decision. All of the people he looks up to the most in our family are veterans. He picks good role models.

51 year old woman graduates from Army boot camp
Army Sgt. Sandra Coast graduated from U.S. Army Basic Combat Training at the age of 51, finishing training with one of the highest physical fitness test scores in her company after having to lose 30 pounds just to qualify for basic training.
"I was impressed, because she can do everything the younger soldiers do," Army 1st Sgt. John Byars said of Coast, according to the Armed Forced Press Service (AFPS). "She never expected us to feel sorry for her. She even got one of the highest Army physical fitness test scores in the company. She is a prime example that age is just a number. She ran faster than soldiers young enough to be her kids."
Coast served in the Navy from 1982 to 1993, so she was allowed to enter military service at her age, whereas most civilians would not be eligible. "Everybody in the world thinks I am a total nutcase," she told AFPS. "I just want to support our troops. I love all of them."
The age difference between Coast and most recruits was sometimes hard for her, but did not impede the other recruits' support for her. "They treat me as an equal," Coast said. "The males, especially, have the utmost respect. They will do little things that they probably aren't supposed to do, like give me their seat on the bus and hold the doors for me. It's the little things that mean so much."
Coast will not serve in active duty situations, due to her age, but instead serve with a virtual unit that works by phone and internet. She also has a son in the United States Marine Corps. "I am thrilled to wear the title of sergeant in the U.S. Army, but the title that is also very near and dear to my heart is Marine mom," Coast added to AFPS. "You can't beat that."

WVa cop accidentally runs over detained man
The man suffered a fractured finger and was treated and released
By PoliceOne Staff
MOOREFIELD, W. Va. — A Moorefield police officer accidentally ran a man's arm over while trying to pursue another suspect who fled the scene on foot moments earlier.
A Moorefield officer and a W. Va. state trooper detained two passengers and were arresting Tyler Riggleman, 26, the driver of the vehicle, Sunday night for narcotics possession when Riggleman suddenly became combative and fled the scene on foot, according to Your4state.
As police pursued the suspect, one of the other two men, who was detained in the parking lot of the gas station, was hit by the cruiser. He suffered a fractured index finger and was treated and released from the hospital, according to The InterMountain.
"What we have here is a matter of good cops doing a good job and one of them happened to make a mistake," Moorefield Police Chief S.D. Reckhart said. "There was nothing malicious about it. She simply misjudged her distance (while in pursuit in her vehicle)."
There is an on-going internal and criminal investigation "into all aspects" of the matter, according to a police statement.
A video of the incident was recorded by a bystander and posted to YouTube. The accident itself was not caught on camera.
Riggleman is still at large and police have issued an arrest warrant for him on a slew of drug-related charges.

"Pan Men (Panmen Gate)" Suzhou Things to Do Tip by chatterley
Suzhou Things to Do: 201 reviews and 399 photos
This gate ("men" means "gate") is one of the oldest and best-preserved land and water gate in China today. It is as old as the Suzhou city itself, and has been around for about 2500 years. The image of this gate has become a symbol of Suzhou, and is incorporated into the city's logo.
Gates such as these were traditionally used to protect the city, and is usually accompanied by a moat. In the picture, parts of the gate has been covered by vegetation (the green walls are parts of the gate).
The pagoda in the background is the "Ruiguang Pagoda", see my next tip.

Hello Everyone,
I am a beginner cyclist (I actually haven't yet begun) and I need some advice on finding the right bike for me. I am a female 5'10", 150 lbs. I've been spinning for the last year and I am ready to get out on the roads but I don't know what type of bike I should get and how much I should spend. I would eventually like to commute to work which is only about 15 miles each way but don't want to spend too much until I know that this is for me. Please give me some advice on a road bike with the best value for someone in my situation. Thank you!

"Where time stood still" Top 5 Page for this destination Khiva by TheWanderingCamel
Khiva Travel Guide: 199 reviews and 1,220 photos
Ringed entirely by mud-brick walls, its madrassas and palaces overlooked by a soaring minaret whose bands of blue tile and dun-coloured brick have an ancient air and yet are not much more than a hundred years old, the city's quiet lanes and shadowy passages bely its all too recent bloody past. Slavery and mediaeval cruelty were the norm here until the rule of the khans was finally ended in 1920.
Over the next 50 years, the Ichon Kala (the walled inner city) slumbered under the desert sun, its palaces, mosques and medressahs slowly crumbling back into the dust from which they were made, as the outer city - the Dishan Kala - expanded to create a surprisingly green oasis encircling the baked-earth and blue-tiled architectural treasure at its heart. Then, in 1967, in recognition of the unique nature of this most intact ensemble of Islamic buildings, everyone still living inside the walls was removed and a restoration process begun that saw the entire Ichon Kala become a museum.
It's still a museum, but one that is slowly taking on yet another life as more and more people are moving back inside the walls. You only have to wander into the back lanes and outer corners of the city to see occupied houses, children playing, old men sunning themselves on a low wall. Tourists rather than courtiers and concubines wander through the gorgeous iwans of the khan's summer mosques and harem courtyards. Student cells in one medressah have become hotel rooms, others house museum collections but some are home to centres of learning once more as young people learn the craft skills of their great-grandparents that were suppressed for so long under Soviet rule. The city's Wedding Palace is housed in yet another restored medressah and it's a rare day in Khiva that doesn't see a wedding party, the bride in full Western-style bridal finery, processing through the streets.
The first time we visited Khiva we flew to nearby Urgench on an early morning flight from Tashkent, were met by our guide at the airport, drove the 35km to Khiva, checked in to our hotel and went straight out to begin our tour of the city. The day was bakingly hot and still and we drifted around in a haze of heat and somewhat bemused tiredness. The city was fascinating but after a while it all seemed to merge into something of a blur of tiled iwans, soaring carved pillars and silent passages - very atmospheric but somewhat confusing and I determined then that, on our return (and I knew we would return) we would do it differently.
And that is just what we did. Instead of a ridiculously early morning start and a flight that dropped us down into this extraordinary time-warp of a city, this time we drove from Bukhara, crossing the red sands of the Kyrzyl Kum desert and the wide stretch of the Amu Darya (the Oxus River), following the path taken by the camel caravans of the past. Travelling west from Tashkent - first to Samarkand and then on to Shahrisabz and Bukhara, we had already sensed we were moving deeper and deeper into the heart of Central Asia and now we were about to arrive at the city that had held out longest against the encroaching outside world, its ruler the last of the all-powerful khans to surrender.
Last time we had spent just one night in the city, this time our itinerary allowed for two. Our mid-afternoon arrival gave us time to settle in to our hotel (the Lola as before but now very well upgraded), chill out awhile in the shady chaikhana and take a long, leisurely stroll around the Ichon Kala as the sunset turned the sand-coloured walls first to rose-pink and then to glowing red-gold.
Dinner at the hotel, a good night's sleep in the big, new, comfortable beds of the refurbished hotel and we woke refreshed and ready for the day. Even our departure next day was taken at a more leisurely pace as our flight to Tashkent was the return leg of that very early flight we had taken on our first visit.
One guide books refers to Khiva as "a showcase city without a soul". That's not my perception. Khiva fascinates me; of all the places we visited in Uzbekistan, it's the one I most want to return to - not just for a day or two spent in the company of a guide with an set itinerary but long enough to really let the tangible sense of the city's extraordinary history work its way into my mind. Tiny as it is, the wealth of its architectural heritage could keep me busy for days but I also want to have time to sit in a chaikhana (not just a tourist- oriented one within the walls but also those the locals favour down by the ferris wheel in the outer city), to shop for fruit and nuts in the bazaar, to accept that invitation to lunch at the Suzani Centre. And then there are the places beyond the green circle of the city - you just can't keep a camel away from the desert for long and the ancient cities and desert citadels of Khorezm are still out there waiting ....

Back to enjoy your updates to this already excellent page. What a fascinating place and marvellous photos. Those Khans really played it rough, didn't they? Brought back distant memories of reading "Flashman and the Great Game".
Oh wow, a magic new and revamped description of Khiva :-)) I still love the old Zoroastrian tiles, my favourites :-) So sad, the loss of knowledge about the (blue) desert plant! Misha retired! And how do I miss the yoghurt!!!
So I finished my tour of Khiva. Wonderful. The colours are just exquisite(tiles( possibly the blue from Indigo bush?)Zoroastrian info excellent. Interestingly, Hindu religion also has inverted swastika. Great page, Leyle- as always & good pics.
"faces of khiva" including a camel! you funny thing! lol // awesome updates and new tips! enjoyed the tour of khiva through your pages!
I've loved revisiting Khiva with you and reading your new tips - makes me want to go again! BTW we stayed in the Mohammed Amin Khan medressa and like you I agree with the chiefs :-)
Awesome, thoroughly deserving of your 5 star ratings. (You might try workshopping some of your pics to bring some of that vibrant colour out) Cheers, Ian
Your pages on Khiva are wonderful. You have been so helpful for my trip to UZ. Have you read Ride to Khiva...my inspiration to visit Khiva
Another outstanding page of your adventures in Uzbekistan. The country is ranked high on my must visit list. On my recent visit to Moscow I saw a train arriving from Tashkent and I was just about to board it for its return trip. ;-)
Leyle, stunning photos and extremely well described history of ancient Khiva! I can see why the impression it made on you makes a 2nd trip mandatory! I'd never heard of al-Khorezmi, but loved 'calculus' while being amazed that someone had dreamed this up!
very informative tips on a city that my generation was reading about a lot when in high school - this city was razed to ground by tatars of gengis khan. the resistance was led from this city. thanks for sharing.

So Ive been up since 4:45am yesturday morning. It is now 1am. DD busted out of her blanket but was still asleep. I had just crawled into bed and since DH was still standing i asked him to Quitely go into her room and losely reswaddle her. He decides he would be helpful and even though she has a 12 hour diaper on, he goes and wakes the baby up to change her. I trying to not be pissed cuase he was tryign to be helpful but just do as I asked. It already took me over an our to get her to bet at 8. So know she had a long sleep and wont stop crying. ALso, we are running low on formula and I had it perfectly rationed so i would have enough to feed her at 5am and then at 8am then go to the store. Know we have 1 bottle left cuase i had to give her the other bottle since she last ate at 6pm. Now DH is pissed at me for being pissed at hi for trying to help me. But im tired, she was sound asleep. By now he should know better than to wake a sleeping baby! Im just hoping she isnt too grouchy tomorrow or stay up all night. She is getting her picture taken tomorrow.
BTW: Our pediatrician said it was ok to leave the diaper if it was wet and she was alseep, just change and clean her up as soon as she wakes up.
