The history of German Jewry is a drama depicting the gradual ascent of Jews from impoverished outcasts to comfortable bourgeois citizens and then their striking descent during the Nazi years. This history has been analyzed from the "outside," by looking at the histories of antisemitism,1 state discrimination, or political emancipation (the almost century-long process of granting equality to the Jews).2 It has been studied from the "inside" by scrutinizing religious, social and cultural changes, and the politics of Jews toward their state or national governments or toward each other. More recently, historians have looked at local and regional histories, family histories, and women's histories.3
German-Jewish historiography has benefited enormously from social history, its studies of demography, socioeconomic structure, social mobility, occupational patterns, and organizations. But "social history has preferred the impersonal to the intimate"4 and often misses individual variations by leaving out important issues, such as gender, milieu, mentalities, and identities. Our approach grew out of a desire to examine the everyday lives of ordinary Jews in Germany. Building on social, economic, and political history, it focuses more closely on how changing structures and cultural shifts affect subjective experiences and on how individuals carved out a place for themselves in society. We have attempted to reveal the qualitative aspects of ordinary life—people's emotions, perceptions, and mentalities.5 We wondered how ordinary Jews made sense of their world: How did they construe changes brought about by industrialization? How did they make decisions to enter new professions or remain with the old? How did they interpret the newly flourishing organizational life that grew in the context of late nineteenth-century antisemitism? Did they join non-Jewish associations or not? We attempted to explore the

RICHMOND, Va. -- Citizens whose businesses or homes and property were damaged by the severe storms and flooding of November 18-19, 2003, have less than two more weeks to apply for assistance, federal and state officials announced today.
RICHMOND, Va. -- In the wake of recent flooding in western Virginia, some people are surprised to find their insurance does not cover flood damage to their home, business or belongings. In the last four years the area has seen as many as six presidential disaster declarations, and four of those have been due to flooding. "Standard homeowner and renter insurance policies do not cover flood damage," said Lou Botta, federal coordinating officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
RICHMOND, Va. -- Those who suffered losses or damages as a result of the November 18-19, 2003 severe storms and flooding and live or have a business in Bland, Buchanan, Giles, Smyth, or Tazewell counties and the independent city of Galax have less than one month left to apply for federal disaster assistance. The deadline for individuals and businesses to register for assistance is February 9, 2004.

After searching and reading through the forums it appears that since I assigned those 2 Users an Archive mailbox the only way to make the error go away is to submit the ticket, which is not available.
I am a Plan P1 user with 6 licensed Users so I guess that means I do not have the privilege to submit a ticket.
Hi Keanan,
What license do the users have? Are they specifically licensed for Exchange?
They have been assigned the following:
Microsoft Office 365 Plan P1
Lync Online (P1)

Hello Keanan,
Your post was responded to in a private message.
Thanks for your reply. I am going to need a little more info from you - please see your PM's for details.

Update on NidaaThis is Nidaa's second loan cycle from Ryada. Her previous loan helped her to develop her business and had a positive outcome, and she was able to increase her inventory. She is very grateful to everyone helped her.
Today, Nidaa is planning to continue developing her business to make sure that her children will have the best living and education, and, at the same time, to ensure that her customers are satisfied. She decided to obtain this loan to purchase a power generator and a large quantity of fabric and thread because her number of customers continue to increase. This will help her to improve the financial conditions for her family. Her dream is to expand her business more and more in the future.

About Vitas PalestinePalestinians face unique challenges due to the economic and political environment in the West Bank and Gaza. Click here to learn more about how Kiva and Vitas Palestine are working to help Palestinian borrowers overcome these obstacles and how your support can make a difference.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Here is a news release from Ridgefield Public Schools:
Posted: December 5th, 2011 10:28 PM
Monday, December 5, 2011-Ridgefield, WA-The Ridgefield School District Board of Directors voted to approve a bond resolution to pay for new classrooms and traffic flow improvements at all four of the district's schools in a regular board meeting on Tuesday, November 22, 2011.
The bond includes new classrooms and student support to accommodate current and predicted future growth in the district. In addition, parking areas and routes used for buses and parents to drop off and pick up students will be redesigned to improve traffic flow, increase traffic safety, and add additional parking. "Every student from grades K-12 will feel the positive effects of these improvements," said Superintendent Art Edgerly.
Community events initiated and organized by the school board and community members over the past three years included stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and symposiums. "Community involvement was instrumental in determining which elements were prioritized in the proposal," said Edgerly. "The community came together and worked with the board of directors to help guide the projects and goals for this proposal."
The district will ask voters to approve the $47 million bond in a February 2012 election. When approved, the process will begin immediately with planning taking approximately one year.
The project proposal is available on the district's website, www.ridge.k12.wa.us.

"Paradise Found!!"
We stayed in the Casita, which is on the same property as Las Brisas, but it is totally private. The Casita is a studio villa. From the moment we arrived at the Casita, we loved everything about it. As you enter the front door you look into the back yard with your own private pool, lush tropical landscaping, two hammocks under a gazebo, lounge chairs, and a dining table. We knew we had found paradise! The Casita was well furnished with a king bed, a small indoor dining table, a couch and two chairs. The bathroom had a single sink, and a fabulous open air shower. Off the bathroom was a large closet and a safe. The Casita is across the street from Mad Dog, where you can get great sandwiches, drinks and ice cream. We ate lunch there many days, and would wander over to have a drink at night with the locals. Additionally there is another restaurant close by called the Top of the Baths. They had a more varied menu, and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was also very good. Even though these two places are close, we did not have an issue with noise. The property is managed by Guavaberry Springs, which is just a few minute walk down the road. At Guavaberry Springs, you can get food, beer, wine, frozen veggies, bread, etc. this was very convenient and the prices were reasonable. Additionally Guavaberry Springs offers a private beach for there guests, with beach chairs and snorkeling gear.
We ate one night at the Rock Cafe. We ate outside at tree top level, with a beautiful waterfall around us. The food was fantastic.
We did not know was to expect when we rented the Casita, and it was more than we could have ever imagined!

"A Bit of Heaven on Earth"
We have traveled all over the world, but there is one spot we come back to every year and that is Virgin Gorda and the Casita. We have stayed at the Casita five times and have it booked in 2014 again. In my opinion,the only reason people come back time after time is because they like it so much. And that is how it is with us and staying at the Casita.
The Casita is a large studio "villa" and is totally private even though it is on the same property as Las Brisas. As you drive up to the Casita you will have your own private parking spot. The Casita is extremely well furnished with a large king size bed, a table and chairs, a couch and chair and a beautifully furnished kitchen with a great blender for making your Pina Coladas. You will also enjoy the outdoor, glass block shower.
It does not have air conditioning, but none is really required because the location of the Casita always picks up the most beautiful breeze. We have been there until late may and with the ceiling fans and wonderful breeze it was always very comfortable. The deck in the back of the Casita is also covered and has a ceiling fan and a table with chairs for enjoying an outdoor lunch. This leads to the pool and the beautifully landscaped back. Here, near the pool, are deck chairs, hammocks and a barbecue grill. Another great plus is the Casita is located just a stone throw from the famous Baths of Virgin Gorda and the equally famous Mad Dog where you can enjoy great sandwiches and drinks.
The Casita is managed by Guavaberry Spring Bay and we book through them each year at guavaberryspringbay.com. The management team tends to all of your needs immediately.
It seems that every year we go back we find that the owners, Barry and Sylvia have added something new within or around the Casita to make your stay more enjoyable each time. If you are looking for a one bedroom place, there is no doubt the Casita is the place --- it is the best.

"Loved The Casita"
Virgin Gorda had been on our list of places to visit for some time. I have to tell you how lucky we felt to have found this property. Managed by Guavaberry Spring Bay Vacation Home Management. From our first email with Tina to our check out, we were treated with kindness. Tina, Michele and Valerie were always available to answer any questions we had. I was looking for a property that was private and had a pool. From the moment we walked into the Casita, we knew we had made the right choice. This property was perfect in so many ways. The gardens, pool, location, the beaches etc etc. So private, yet so close to so many things. We walked everywhere, to the beach, and out to dinner. We did rent a car one day, it was great to see the rest of the island. But at the end of the day, we were happy to just hang out at the Casita, it really is such a special spot. Someday we will return!! Choose this property, you will not be disapointed.

"As good as it gets...!"
We have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, and no matter where we are, we long for beauty of Virgin Gorda and the impeccable accommodations offered by Casita. The caring owners, Barry and Sylvia, are "hands on" owners that are continually updating this gorgeous property. The Guavaberry Management team is truly excellent and is always catering to our every need.
Casita is separated from the main house(Las Brisas)by lush landscaping that makes it totally private. The location also allows for constant trade winds and beautiful views. We have been visiting Virgin Gorda for well over 20 years and have been staying at Casita for the last 12...and hopefully many more years to come.
If you are looking for an "action" Island then this is not the place.
However, if fantastic accommodations, pristine beaches, good diving, great snorkeling and Peace and Tranquility suits you, this is...As good as it gets!!!

"Romantic Setting-Great House"
We love Virgin Gorda and have been vacationing there for over 20 years. It's a small island with very friendly people, great scenery, beautiful beaches, good snorkeling, diving and hiking. Casita has been our favorite vacation home on Virgin Gorda since we first discovered it almost a decade ago. It's a studio house with a private pool that offers complete privacy in a romantic setting, located within walking distance of some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Casita is part of a larger property and villa, Las Brisas. Landscaping on this property can only be described as spectacular.
Casita is located on the crest of a hill with great views of Whale Bay and is cooled by trade winds. It has three porches, two of which are covered, providing a choice of sun or shade any time of the day. The back deck, pool and hammocks are enclosed in a private garden setting you may never want to leave. We love to cool off in the pool after an afternoon of snorkeling or hiking, or take a swim after dinner.
The property is managed by a great staff at Guavaberry Spring Bay Resort. They take pride in making guests feel welcome and are happy to advise on what's happening on the island. They will also take care of your restaurant reservations and transportation confirmations. Guavaberry runs a very convenient honor-based commissary and Wi-Fi service which is available 24 hours a day. There's also a laundry facility, so you can pack light. The resort has shaded beach and picnic areas at Spring Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches on Virgin Gorda and our favorite for snorkeling.
The property is meticulously maintained and updated. This year we found the house furnishings, both inside and outside were refurbished and the electronics were new. Another nice feature of this property is the availability of an engine/generator to keep things running if power fails.
Casita is a great house, in a great location, on one of the nicest islands in the Caribbean.

"Total Relaxation"
We have been vacationing on Virgin Gorda for 30 years, and have now stayed at Las Brisas the last several times. It is by far, our favorite place to rent. Even though it doesn't sit right on the beach (as did our previous rental)it's well worth the short drive to Spring Bay's glorious sands and water. The house is so very livable either for two, four, or entertaining a crowd, with so much seating and a great sense of openness. The delightful breezes not only keep you cool, but also deter what can plague some other areas: mosquitoes on the prowl. We love all the updates which greet us upon our yearly arrival--Barry and Sylvia are always doing something to make their guests' stays even more comfortable. We wish our kitchen at home were as well provisioned and organized as is the newly renovated one at Las Brisas! I won't repeat all of the praises heaped on the singular rarity and beauty of Virgin Gorda--you have to see it and experience it to understand its allure. The Guavaberry staff also adds tremendously to the ease of every minute of our stays---and responds so quickly to any concerns or problems---they're the best!
If you're looking for a place where you can absolutely forget the outside world for a few days or weeks Las Brisas on Virgin Gorda is the place for you.

"Heaven on earth describes Las Brisas!!!"
My husband and I have stayed at Las Brisas ten times and have yet to have had a bad experience. Even during Hurricane Irene it was a slice of Heaven. If the weather is hot, Las Brisas is still amazingly cool. The winds keep the temperture perfect!! The problem with Las Brisas is you don't want to go anywhere else. Hanging out by the pool or enjoying the oceon view from the patio. I personally enjoy cooking when vacationing at Las Brisas. The kitchen itself is reason enough to visit. We have had many wonderful meals just eating in and enjoying all the amenities. We enjoy snorkeling and the beach is a short distance from Las Brisas. Normally we drive and its about a one minute drive to the beach. The Baths are a short walk out the front gate. Another wonderful thing about Las Brisas is the privacy the landscapes have provided. Being so close to The Baths and the restaurants across the way and still very private. In the review it asks for what you like least about Las Brisas. My only complaint every time we visit is that we can't stay longer!!! Also I can't express how much we appreciate Tina and her crew at Guavaberry. They are the icing on the cake! Always making sure everything is perfect!!! All I can say is you have to see it in person to really get it. Truly Heaven on Earth!!!
Sincerely, Denise Perry, Clovis, Calif.

"Paradise Found"
The Island: Virgin Gorda is a very special place. If you want to enjoy some of the most beautiful, quiet beaches, be greeted by an absolutely wonderful native population, and simply relax and enjoy, then Virgin Gorda may just be paradise.
Casita: Casita is a beautiful studio house situated on the property. Although easily accessible from Las Brisas it is separate and because of the exceptional landscaping, totally private. Built in a contemporary Mediterranean style it is open, bright and airy. Featuring a king size bed, a small but workable kitchen, your own private fish shaped swimming pool, porches, BBQ, etc. it is the perfect house for a couple.
Las Brisas: Built in the same architectural style, Las Brisas is situated about 150 feet south of Casita. It sits a little higher so has somewhat better views and, oh, the breezes! The complex consists of 2 separate bedroom buildings and a main house which includes the kitchen and living room areas. The kitchen is very well equipped and of a very good size. You have your own pool, hammocks, and beautiful gardens. There is a spiral stairway to a rooftop deck which makes the perfect spot to end the day with a cocktail as you watch the sun go down. In spite of its proximity to the Baths it remains totally private because of the landscaping, which is just extraordinary. Just outside your own little gate is Mad Dog or if you prefer something a little more formal Top of the Baths with a full menu is right there too .
The wonderful folks at Guavaberry manage the property. Maid service is provided every day by charming staff. Guavaberry maintains a very well stocked commissary just down the road from the house where you can buy just about everything you need for your stay. In summary we can safely say that this is a 5 star property on a 5 star island. We can't wait to get back!

"Welcome To Paradise"
If you are looking for beauty,peace and quiet, relaxation, yet excitement at your fingertips, this is the place for you!
Las Brisas is amazing. First, the views are spectacular. The multiple decks give you a panaramic view of both wonderful vegetation and the Caribbean sea. The gardens are carefully thought out and perfectly highlighted. The appointments are colorful, tropical, and fun both inside and out.
One of the other positives is the privacy factor. While close and convenient to several fun things, you pool and back deck area is completely enclosed and you can feel like you are in your own world.
But with this exclusivity also comes a wonderful "host" in the Guavaberry staff. They are like having a personal concierge service to help you navigate not just the the island but the whole set of islands in the area. We were met at the boat when we got there in the evening and were driven wherever we wanted whenever we wanted for our whole stay. And the store/commissary literally has everything you could want!
As I mentioned, the location is so convenient to fun! From the short walk to Mad Dogs bar, to a great restaurant an additional 50 feet away, you feel you have everything you want. But when you include the world famous Baths beach and snorkeling area 5 walking minutes and Guavaberry's private beach at a less than 10 minute walk, you have found unlimited fun.
But the home is so nice we found ourselves just staying there and relaxing! The pool was good size and always clean and the perfect temperature. The outdoor shower reminded me of a 5 star villa. And the kitchen had everything you could want, and if you could think of something else, the staff got it to you.
Just a slice of heaven!

"Paradise Found..."
What can I possibly say that hasn't been said already? There's good reason that we'll be on our 7th stay in June 2011...we haven't found a place that can beat this one. It has all that we look for...beautifully maintained structure and grounds; privacy plus (hard to imagine how with its proximity to the roadway and Las Brisas main house but take my word, the lush surroundings envelop you); great location adjacent to The Baths National Park, the Mad Dog watering hole, 2 minutes to Spring Bay Beach and 5 minutes to Spanish Town; Private pool for when you just cannot stand the beach any longer; twin hammocks in the shade and even a nice ocean view to the southeast. The owners are commited to providing a place that you'll look forward to returning to and for that we thank them.

"My favorite vacation spot in the world!"
I've traveled all the continents save for antartica and yes... this little nest is my worldwide favorite. The beaches are untarnished and secluded, the snorkeling unparalleled, the people sublimely friendly, and it is...quiet. No festering neon distractions, simply a beautiful home on gorgeously maintained grounds and views that make you want to write epic poetry. And oh...just in case you want the worlds best Pina Colada, you are literally a one minute walk from the Mad Dog. Both the homes (Brisas/Casita) have their own pools that are very private. I've been twice. I will go again...and again. I cant say enough about these properties and I am truly not a person that throws superlatives around.

"Las Brisas on Virgin Gorda Will Soothe Your Soul"
We have been staying at Las Brisas since 2003. Our group includes my parents, two (now) grown daughters, my husband and me. Las Brisas and Casita and its unique "separate but one†design fits all of our various needs and desires beautifully. My parents take the "big house,†our daughters the freestanding bedroom unit, and my husband and I take over Casita - which is nearby but utterly private - thanks to great design and lush plantings.
Las Brisas is aptly named for the delightful tropical breezes which waft through house round the clock. The house is tastefully decorated in a local beach theme and the kitchen is well-equipped. There is an abundance of lovely outdoor common space as well as plenty of out-of-the-way spots should you want to escape with a book or take a snooze in a hammock. The bedrooms are private and all of the bathrooms offer fabulous enclosed outdoor showers that allow you that lovely "one with nature†experience.
We enjoy the close proximity to Mad Dog, a funky al fresco café for sandwiches and cocktails; the world-famous Baths for hiking; and Spring Bay, Guavaberry's exclusive beach, and certainly, one of the prettiest on earth. The owners continue to meticulously maintain the property. The property is expertly managed on a daily basis and comes with all of the comforts of daily room service, fresh flowers, beach towels and more.
The setting sun, rising moon and starry skies, along with the lushly planted grounds and wrap-around views of the sea and rock-strewn landscape will soothe your soul. You will go home refreshed and eager to return. And, we always do.

"Luxury Home In Paradise - Villa Of Peace & Beauty"
Las Brisas is one of the most beautiful villas on the Island of Virgin Gorda, BVI. We have vacationed at Las Brisas for the last 10 consecutive years. It offers true paradise. It is one of the reasons that we return to this island. The profusion of tropical flowers in the courtyard surrounding the pristine swimming pool offers serenity beyond description. The rooftop deck allows us to enjoy the sunsets and star gaze at night admiring Ryan's Belt. There are not too many places on any island where you can see both the Caribbean Sea and the atlantic Ocean at the same time, but the roof top offers it all. Hiking through the nearby Baths and snorkeling around them offers unique experiences. The hammocks allow for a good R & R and a great read. We appreciate the gourmet stocked kitchen and the comfort of this luxurious home. It is no wonder we keep coming back.

Kim Kardashian
Engaged Kim Kardashian's First Interview: I'm Marrying "My Best Friend"
Wherever he is, we hope the newly engaged Kanye West is patting himself on the back for a proposal of truly Yeezus proportions. The surprise engagement featured a 50-piece orchestra, a 15-carat diamond, and one happy bride-to-be.
"Last night was truly magical!!!" Kim tells E! News in her first interview since the big night. "I am the luckiest girl in the world!" Even more sweet, the new mom says now "I get to marry my best friend!"
Kim already made it known how thrilled she was to be engaged to Kanye via the power of social media. ""YES!!!," she tweeted on October 22 with a photo of her gigantic diamond ring and Kanye's romantic plea of "Pleeease marry meee!!!" glowing on a big screen in the background.
The couple, who've been dating for more than a year and a half, welcomed daughter North West on June 15 (the four-month-old, in case you were wondering, was in San Francisco last night but not in attendance at the proposal).
Despite rumors Kanye would never pop the question, preferring the term "partners" to "husband and wife," 'Ye made it clear last night that particular line of gossip was nothing but hogwash. Kanye seems totally committed to making his way down the aisle with the mother of his beautiful baby girl. More power to you, guys!
What do you make of the proposal? Sound off in the comments below!

Wrestling Welcomes Three, Including Ivy Rival Columbia, For Weekend Homestand
After its first win over a nationally ranked opponent in more than a decade, the Princeton wrestling team will look to carry that momentum into a three-match homestand, which begins Friday at 7 p.m. against Ivy League rival Columbia.
Princeton defeated No. 23 Harvard 25-14 last weekend in Cambridge. The highlight of that match was a victory for the now-16th-ranked Daniel Kolodzik, who defeated 2011 All-America Walter Peppelman at 157 pounds. The victory, Kolodzik's first in five tries over two years against the Crimson standout, earned him the EIWA Wrestler of the Week honor.
The team win was not without its low point, though, as freshman Chris Perez suffered an injury during the match and will likely miss the weekend, which will include a Sunday doubleheader against Clarion (1) and Franklin & Marshall (2:30).
Princeton can reach the .500 mark in the Ivy League with a win Friday. After losses to both Cornell and Brown, the Tigers rebounded in the league with the upset win over Harvard. Princeton and Columbia have split the last two years, with the Lions winning a 32-8 home decision over the Tigers.
While both Kolodzik and 13th-ranked Adam Krop (141) both lead Princeton with 26 victories, the Tigers have gotten strong contributions from other spots in the lineup. Two key performers from last weekend were junior Zach Bintliff, who was unbeaten at 149, and senior Kurt Brendel, who clinched the Harvard victory with a pin at 197.
Senior Andy Lowy, the 174-pound starter, could record his first 20-win season if he has a perfect weekend. Lowy, who went 2-1 last weekend, is 17-9 on the season.
Columbia is 4-3 overall, 0-1 in the Ivy League, and has three starters with at least 20 wins. Junior Stephen West, a likely opponent for Lowy Friday night, leads the Lions with 24 victories. Classmate Jake O'Hara has 21 wins and will face Kolodzik, who O'Hara topped 11-9 in overtime last season. Senior Kyle Gilchrist is 20-10 and will likely face Princeton's Joe DeQuinzio.
Clarion is 2-6 on the season, but it has the two highest-ranked wrestlers that will compete in Dillon Gym this weekend. Junior James Fleming is 19-2 and ranked fourth nationally, while senior Bekzod Abdurakhmonov is 23-4 on the season and is ranked fifth.
Franklin & Marshall is 1-12 on the season and has been led by Richard Durso, who has 25 victories at 141.

Guy Who Wants to Run New York Likens Health-Care Reform to 9/11
Hmmm, good luck with that campaign.
Carl Paladino, a millionaire real-estate developer from Buffalo, plans to formally announce his Republican candidacy for governor on April 5. Today he said this on the radio about health-care reform:
"The day that bill was passed will be remembered just as 9-11 was remembered in history. It was an attempt by these people in Washington to defy the Constitution."
Well, that was a fun campaign while it lasted. [Daily Politics/NYDN]

oh no my water broke no contrx help
Oh, hun, don't panic, it's ok!! You have 24 hours for labor to BEGIN, keep that in mind! I was misinformed about that for many years.
Hey, someone chime in--isn't there something you can do, an exercise that is rolling back and forth? I forget what it is--but I need to know about it myself! I panicked when my water broke at home and in retrospect I wish I'd just waited at the house rather than gone on in. Keep us posted!!
Happy mama to 3 little men and one little lady. Hooray for 3 VBAC's and 4 healthy children!
V-2006/VR-2010 (Dr. Stanton, Arkansas)
Don't call your doctor, you may want the option of fudging how long your water's been broken later. For now, stay home, and work on getting contractions going. Walk, crawl, maybe consider castor oil. What are your augmentation options? Have you and your doctor discussed whether he'd be willing to give you pit if labor didn't progress?
Partner to Jason since 05/05
Mama to Lia Brielle since 05/09
yay!! make you time them and when you cannot walk or talk through them hit the hospital.. BEST OF LUCK!
Big Sister Bella : 12.22.08
Little Sister Kayla: 8/5/11- my VBAC baby!
Just got my VBAC and it was my second birth that started with PROM. Here is what I did on Saturday when my water broke:
- Penny Simpkin's rollover technique. 20 minutes in each position, or 3 contractions if you are having contractions. I was bored during them.
- I took a two hour nap.
- My Doula arrived and felt that the baby was posterior. The little booger had tons of room to turn around and had moved. She got me in some kind of chest to the floor/butt in the air, knees spread wide position and put a heat pack on my pubic bone and an ice pack on my sacrum. Well, above the pubic bone and sacrum... but those areas. Then she and my husband Rebozo sifted me for an entire hour, taking turns. She was giving me homeopathic black and blue cohosh all the while.
At that point it was 6 AM and we went to the ED. I got a foley bulb placed. It fell out when I was around 5 or 6 cm. I can't remember what I was exactly. I started Pit and BOOM - contractions. Pit was cut off at 4 mu and my body took over.
I was worried the medical interventions would lead to a RCS. Baby girl shot out before the doctor could get her gloves on. ;) Trust your instincts and don't be scared. Take a deep breath.
Glad your contractions started! You can still do Penny Simpkin's rollover technique to help the baby get in optimal position if he/she is needing any help. :)

Collected Wisdom: Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder
In just a few days, St. Louis Cardinals All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday will head to Jupiter, Fla., for spring training to begin his 10th major league season.
The product of a baseball family, Holliday's brother, Josh, is now the baseball coach at Oklahoma State, where his father, Tom, previously held the same position.
Matt Holliday has had eight consecutive seasons with at least a .295 batting average, 19 home runs and 75 runs batted in. For his career, he has totaled 1,525 hits with a .313 average, 229 home runs and 872 RBIs and six All-Star appearances.
So it looks like that baseball thing is working out OK for him and his family, which includes wife Leslee, sons Jackson, 9, and Ethan, 5, and daughter Gracyn, 3.
But the questions always lingered as Holliday came up through the minor leagues. Outsiders kept waiting for him to leave baseball and return to be a college quarterback.
An All-State football player and gifted passer at Stillwater High, many fans thought he'd ultimately end up quarterbacking Oklahoma State. And the questions followed him, maybe a little longer than you might expect.
I had to answer that question a lot. I looked at it as a compliment. I always thought it was pretty neat that people still thought I could potentially play at a major college football program.
But there were times after a couple years in the major leagues when I thought, you know, this question should have died out, but it hasn't. I've got a couple years in the major leagues and people are asking me if I miss football, or if I ever think about going back and playing. I'm thinking, 'No, I'm doing all right. I'll probably stick this deal out and see how it turns out.' (laughs) But I always looked at it as a nice compliment.
The trial-and-error coming up through the minors was always difficult. You're a kid growing up. Then all the bus rides and long travel. But you look back on it, and it makes you appreciate some of the things you went through in the minor leagues, and some of the failure.
There's a lot of sleepless nights in the minor leagues, and a lot of failure. You're just trying to make it or figure out if you're supposed to be doing something else.
We were married young. So I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna take care of my wife if this doesn't work out. Those things, going through those struggles, really made me grow into the person I am.
When I was growing up, my mom, Kathy (who underwent successful surgery for colon cancer in October) was, as you see with a lot of coaches' wives, the one taking my brother and I to practice, running us around town and making sure we were fed properly. Making sure we were showered and where we were supposed to be. She did a great job of raising my brother and I.
We spent a lot of time at the ball field with my dad. He was working so hard trying to build up that program at Oklahoma State, and we wanted to be there and spend time with him. So my mom did a tremendous job of keeping the family together, being the backbone of our family.
Being raised in a competitive sports environment, I felt, was always a blessing. It was something I cherished, and I think my brother feels the same way. My parents did a great job of keeping it fun for us, and letting us go out and play, not putting extra pressure on us just because dad was a baseball coach.
I think that's one of the cool things about Stillwater and the community there. We were never treated differently. We were able to enjoy a great upbringing in a really fun town.
I wish I had played basketball my senior year of high school. I played my freshman, sophomore and junior year on the varsity team. For some silly reason, I didn't play my senior year, thinking I had to get ready for the baseball draft. I really wish I had played.
If my kids are interested — and hopefully they will be — I will always encourage my kids, or any kids, to play all the sports you can. I think nowadays, with so many kids getting in one specific sport, and people encouraging it, trying to make a professional out of a kid — for me, I always looked forward to the next season, whatever it was, basketball, football or baseball.
I think kids get burned out these days, playing one sport year-round. Kids should play as many as they can. It's fun. You have that competitive spirit that you're using all year-round. It doesn't get old. You don't get tired of taking batting practice or working on your jumpshot or throwing footballs. Especially with younger kids, sometimes it's overkill, and kids will walk away from sports all together.

What are the parallels between an ancient war ship and a dung beetle? More than you would think, actually! Douglas J. Emlen, PhD, a professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Montana, has a unique perspective on animal weaponry.
When he started to examine how humans engaged in warfare throughout time, Dr. Emlen discovered a consistent pattern that connects all the way back to animal weaponry. The pattern is so striking that he has made it the focus of his new book,

It's difficult to envision what dimensions beyond 3D are, and why physicists, chemists, and mathematicians want to study them. Duke University chemist Patrick Charbonneau studies the theory behind the formation of glass, tackling questions about an area of research called the glass problem. His research has helped progress this field to a new paradigm. American Scientist associate editor Katie L. Burke interviewed him in September 2013.

One of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, it conceals a bouquet of biological and biochemical surprises.
The iconic "snowball" shaped hydrangea blooms are a common staple of backyard gardens.
Hydrangea colors ultimately depend on the availability of aluminum ions(Al3+) within the soil.

They may bounce really high and look strange, but don't worry, they are harmless...they even scavenge for crumbs off of your floor! A continental-scale citizen science campaign was launched in order to study the spread and frequency of native and nonnative camel crickets in human homes across North America.
Mary Jane Epps, PhD, an author of the paper, went into more detail about the study and significance of citizen scientists in an interview with Katie-Leigh Corder, web managing editor.

Happy Birthday to Alvin! August 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of Alvin, the submersible that has been so influential in ocean research, including the discovery of hydrothermal vents. In 2014, a retrofitted Alvin also took its first test cruise.
Heather Olins, a doctoral candidate at Harvard, studies microbial ecology at deep sea hydrothermal vents with the help of Alvin, and shares her personal tribute to the submersible on these landmark occasions.
Many unfortunate homeowners in the United States, around 600,000 to be exact, will discover these pesky and hard-to-control insects snacking away at their homes. On top of that, it's estimated that $5 billion a year will be spent to control these insects and repair damage. What are these common, yet unwanted insects? Termites!
The United States isn't the only country that deals with them. In Japan, termites are also a major source of structural damage, costing an estimated $1 billion per year in control and repair. Japanese homes are predominately made of wood, as are a number of its cultural heritage sites.
Dr. Aya Yanagawa discusses how she and her colleagues research ways to more effectively control termites in Japan. Biological pathogens and odors show strong potential for getting rid of them, but as Dr. Yanagawa describes, understanding the insect's grooming behavior is key in increasing the pathogens's effects.

Florida voters may have a chance to vote on competing amendments on the 2010 ballot. Today the state supreme court ruled in favor of the Smarter Growth Amendment.
The amendment would allow Floridians to call for a vote on changes to development plans through petitions. Hometown Democracy shares some of the same ideas, but their amendment would require voter approval on all new developments.
"In a the worst case scenario, the court doesn''t knock this off the ballot, and both measure pass by 60 percent, Hometown Democracy is invalidated because people will also pass this other measure," says John Hedrick of Hometown Democracy.
Both amendment campaigns still have work to do. Despite the court's ruling, both groups still have to gather signatures to get the amendments on the ballot.

(my ideal choice) The players that are unanimously available are, Warford, Allen, Woods, Banks, and Slay. So out of these 5 players, who would you guys select in the 2nd round? A case could be made for any of these players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
