In 2005 the State of Israel carried out a large political and military operation called "Disengagement from Gaza", following which the state formally informed the Supreme Court that it no longer controls Gaza and is not responsible for what is happening there.
When asked why, then, does the State of Israel continue to keep its warships cruising off the coast of Gaza and block the way of anyone trying to get in or out, the state answered that it had imposed a naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. Indeed, there is such a possibility in International Law, to impose a blockade on the shores of another country. But does Israel really consider the shores of Gaza as the shores of another country?
Last Saturday, two boats sailed toward the coast of Gaza, one from Canada and the other from Ireland. At sea, in international waters, they were boarded and taken over by the renowned Naval Commandos of the State of Israel. "This time it passed without violence," read a brief news story published the next day's in Israel's biggest newspaper "Yediot Ahronot". Which is not entirely accurate.
The peace sailors, from Canada and Australia and Ireland and other countries, indeed did not resort to any kind of violence. On the other hand, the renowned commandos did use electric shockers and pointed loaded guns at the heads of the activists. True, on this occasion they did not pull the trigger, and everybody on board survived and got alive into the detention cells.
"You're charged with violating the law on Entry Into Israel. Sign right here: 'I admit that I entered Israel illegally' " said the Israeli Police interrogators. "Absolutely not," answered the activists. "We did not want to enter Israel, we had absolutely no intention to do so. We wanted to reach Gaza, and you yourselves stated that Gaza is not Israel. We have entered Israel only because your soldiers took us off a boat in international waters and brought us into Israeli territory by force and against our will".
"If you don't sign a confession that you have entered Israel illegally, we keep you here" concluded the policeman...

How BIG Is Our Profession?
How Many Therapists Does Massage Today Reach?
By Editorial Staff
While massage therapists still lack licensure in many states, the number of licensed practitioners is growing at a rapid rate. Massage Today is dedicated to sending our publication to every massage therapist we can find.
Just a few months ago, we completed our annual update of our database. In addition to continually correcting your address every time you move, MT updates its entire database for licensed states.
This year, the number of licensed massage therapists in the United States exceeded 92,000! While there are certainly many more massage therapists in unlicensed states, our total circulation list is over 109,000.
In light of this incredible growth, we have been forced to send our publication only to approximately half of the U.S. massage therapists each issue. (This issue is being mailed to a total of 64,100 MTs.)
The good news is that you can still receive Massage Today electronically on our Web site, MassageToday.com. If you send us your e-mail address (by going to www.massagetoday.com/newsletter/NEW/subscribe.php), we will e-mail you a brief summary of each issue (with links to each article) the minute that issue is posted online - usually sooner than you would receive the printed publication in the mail.
So, when you see the circulation totals for each issue (printed on the next page), you will see how many licensed massage therapists are getting that issue, as well as the total number of readers. This information is provided with each issue, so there is no secret to the number of therapists we are reaching with the print version of Massage Today, in addition to the approximately 80,000 unique visits MassageToday.com enjoys each month.
This is our commitment to you and the profession.

Fort Lauderdale-based marine electronics manufacturer, OceanView, recently launched the Apollo II night vision camera, VEI.
Mike Bader, OceanView's CEO said "Adding digital zoom and an LCD camera controller with no additional cost has proven to be a great move."
The OceanView Apollo II incorporates a thermal imager with its new 2x digital zoom and an ultra-low-light camera in the same 360° pan and tilt housing. The camera also has an on screen camera position locater and a home button. The Apollo II enables the user to see clearly not only in total darkness but also in a wide variety of poor lighting conditions including heavy rain, bright sun and some fog. Now floating debris, channel markers and other vessels are easy to see. With the new LCD controller, the user has fingertip control and a clear view of the simple menu.

Toshiba Launches 19 nm Process NAND Flash Memory
Toshiba Corporation, reinforcing its leadership in the development and fabrication of cutting-edge, high density NAND flash memories, today announced that it has fabricated NAND flash memories with 19 nm process technology, the finest level yet achieved. This latest technology advance has already been applied to 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit (Gb) chips that are the world's smallest and offer the highest density on a single chip (8 gigabytes (GB)). Toshiba will also add 3-bit-per-cell products fabricated with the 19nm process technology to its product line-up.
Samples of 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit will be available from the end of this month with mass production scheduled for the third quarter of the year (July to September 2011). Toshiba leads the industry in fabricating high density, small die size NAND flash memory chips. Application of the 19nm generation process technology will further shrink chip size, allowing Toshiba to assemble sixteen 64Gbit NAND flash memory chips in one package and to deliver 128GB devices for application in smartphones and tablet PCs. The 19nm process products are also equipped with Toggle DDR2.0, which enhances data transfer speed.
As the market for mobile equipment, such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and SSDs (solid state drives) expands, demand for smaller, higher density memory products grows. By accelerating process migration in NAND flash memory, Toshiba aims to reinforce and extend its leadership in the NAND flash memory market.

Customer Reviews
Needs Improvement
I love this app - when it works. Because a good majority of the time, it does not. My campus offers a busing service and I can find where the bus is or when it will be at my stop, which is especially useful because I live in an off-campus apartment complex that the bus stops at. So when I can't see where the bus is, I am mostly hoping and guessing when the next bus is, which can be very annoying and inconvenient... I hope that improvements are made because this app would be the best if it was more reliable...
In massive need of improvement...
Ok... It works. There's something positive. The negative is that after a certain time the buses stop showing up on the map. I know they're still active because our shuttles don't stop until 10pm but after 6pm it doesn't show where the bus on the gray/pink link is. You could be waiting outside for 30+ minutes in freezing weather unsure if the shuttle will even arrive. The developers seriously need to update this. People depend on this app.
The app could improve a little
The app works properly and does what it says it will. I made some requests to better improve the app and I got a response from the dev, so that's great to hear. The loads really slow sometimes even on LTE and 50mbps WIFI. The delays can sometimes make you miss a bus you otherwise could have caught.

This application is a continuation-in-part of copending U.S. application Ser. No. 490,624, filed May 2, 1983, now abandoned, the entire disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to a catalyst, which is a mixture of ZSM-5 and ZSM-12, and a method for cracking alkylbenzenes over this catalyst mixture.
The Tabak et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,188,282, the entire disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference, describes a process utilizing a zeolite catalyst for converting reformer bottoms having at least 8 carbon atoms to hydrocarbon mixtures enriched in benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX).
In the proces for alkylation of benzene with propylene or propane/propylene mixtures to produce cumene, di- and poly-propylated benzene derivatives and other alkylated benzene derivatives are produced as side reaction products. These products are presently utilized as relatively low value fuel.
The production of cumene (i.e. isopropylbenzene) is discussed in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Third Edition, Volume 7, pp. 286-290, John Wiley and Sons (1979), the entire disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a catalyst comprising a mixture of zeolites, said mixture comprising:
(i) from about 10% to about 90% by weight of ZSM-5; and
(ii) from about 10% to about 90% by weight of ZSM-12.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a process for converting a first hydrocarbon mixture to a second hydrocarbon mixture, said first hydrocarbon mixture consisting essentially of aromatic hydrocarbons having 10 or more carbon atoms, said first hydrocarbon mixture comprising at least 50% by weight of diisopropylbenzene and less than 5% by weight of the sum of benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene, said second hydrocarbon mixture comprising at least 30% by weight of the sum of benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene and less than 20% by weight of diisopropylbenzene, said process comprising cracking said first hydrocarbon mixture over a catalyst comprising a mixture of zeolites, said mixture of zeolites consisting essentially of from about 10% to about 90% by weight of ZSM-5, the remainder being essentially ZSM-12.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided an improved method for the preparation of isopropylbenzene from benzene and a mixture of propane and propylene, wherein a heavy aromatic bottoms fraction is produced as a byproduct, said bottoms fraction consisting essentially of hydrocarbons having 10 or more carbon atoms, the improvement comprising cracking said bottoms fraction over a catalyst comprising a mixture of zeolites, said mixture comprising:
(i) from about 10% to about 90% by weight of ZSM-5; and
(ii) from about 10% to about 90% by weight of ZSM-12.
Catalysts and conditions of reaction have been found to remove the alkyl side chains by cracking to produce benzene which can be recovered and recycled. In certain instances, the aliphatic fragments from the cracking can also be converted to more valuable aromatic (BTX) compounds.
Examples of suitable cracking conditions are as follows. The weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) in terms of the weight of feed per unit weight of catalyst may be, e.g., from about 0.5 to about 10. The cracking temperature may be, e.g., from about 300� to about 600� C. The cracking pressure may be, e.g., less than or equal to about 500 psig. Cracking may take place in the absence of added hydrogen.
ZSM-5 is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,702,886 and 3,941,871. The entire descriptions contained within those patents, particularly the X-ray diffraction pattern of therein disclosed for ZSM-5, are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
ZSM-12 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,449. That description, and in particular the X-ray diffraction pattern disclosed therein, is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The specific zeolites ZSM-5 and ZSM-12, when prepared in the presence of organic cations, are substantially catalytically inactive, possibly because the intra-crystalline free space is occupied by organic cations from the forming solution. The zeolites may be activated by heating in an inert atmosphere at 540� C. for one hour, for example, followed by base exchange with ammonium salts followed by calcination at 540� C. in air. The presence of organic cations in the forming solution may not be absolutely essential to the formation of these types of zeolites; however, the presence of these cations does appear to favor the formation of these special classes of zeolites. More generally, it is desirable to activate this type catalyst by base exchange with ammonium salts, followed by calcination in air at about 540� C. for from about 15 minutes to about 24 hours. In addition, these zeolites may be steamed by treatment with a water saturated atmosphere for one to 24 hours at 200� to 500� C.
When synthesized in the alkali metal form, the zeolite is conveniently converted to the hydrogen form, generally by intermediate formation of the ammonium form as a result of ammonium ion exchange and calcination of the ammonium form to yield the hydrogen form. The hydrogen forms of ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 may be referred to as HZSM-5 and HZSM-12, respectively. In addition to the hydrogen form, other forms of the zeolite wherein the original alkali metal has been reduced to less than about 1.5 percent by weight may be used. Thus, the original alkali metal of the zeolite may be replaced by ion exchange with other suitable ions of Groups IB to VIII of the Periodic Table, including, by way of example, nickel, copper, zinc, palladium, calcium or rare earth metals.
In practicing the desired conversion process, it may be desirable to incorporate the above described crystalline zeolites in another material resistant to the temperature and other conditions employed in the process. Such matrix materials include synthetic or naturally occurring substances as well as inorganic materials such as clays, silica and/or metal oxides. The latter may be either naturally occurring or in the form of gelatinous precipitates or gels including mixtures of silica and metal oxides. Naturally occurring clays which can be composited with the zeolite include those of the montmorillonite and kaolin families, which families include the sub-bentonites and the kaolins commonly known as Dixie, McNamee-Georgia and Florida clays or others in which the main mineral constituent is halloysite, kaolinite, dickite, nacrite or anauxite. Such clays can be used in the raw state as originally mined initially subjected to calcination, acid treatment or chemical modification.
In addition to the foregoing materials, the zeolites employed herein may be composited with a porous matrix material, such an alumina, silica-alumina, silica-magnesia, silica-zirconia, silica-thoria, silica-berylia, silica-titania as well as ternary compositions such as silica-alumina-thoria, silica-alumina-zirconia, silica-alumina-magnesia and silica-magnesia-zirconia. The matrix may be in the form of a coegel. The relative proportions of zeolite component and inorganic oxide gel matrix may vary widely with the zeolite content ranging from between about 1 to about 99 percent by weight and more usually in the range of about 5 to about 80 percent by weight of the composite.
When the ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 are composited with porous matrix materials, the catalyst of the present invention may comprise a mixture of these zeolite/matrix composites. These composites may be in a free-flowing or fluidizable form.
The catalysts may optionally comprise an additional hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component. The amount of the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component employed is not narrowly critical and can range from about 0.01 to about 30 weight percent based on the entire catalyst. A variety of hydrogenation components may be combined with either the zeolite and/or matrix in any feasible manner which affords intimate contact of the components, employing well known techniques such as base exchange, impregnation, coprecipitation, cogellation, mechanical admixture of one component with the other and the like. The hydrogenation component can include metals, oxides and sulfides of metals of the Periodic Table which fall in Group VIB including chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and the like; Group IIB including zinc and cadmium, Group VIIB including manganese and rhenium and Group VIII including cobalt, nickel, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and the like, and combinations of metals, sulfides and oxides of metals of Groups VIB and VIII such as nickel-tungsten-sulfide, cobalt oxide-molybdenum oxide and the like.
Table 1 provides data regarding the cracking of a simulated heavy bottoms fraction from cumene production with a steamed-HZSM-5 catalyst.

As will be apparent from the data set forth in Tables I-III, the reaction conditions for the respective Comparative Examples and Example were essentially equivalent. More particularly, although some minor differences are apparent, e.g., with respect to Feed WHSV, TOS and Feed compositions, these differences would not be expected to have any significant effect on the results obtained. Therefore, any differences in the respective results are substantially solely attributable to the nature of the catalyst compositions used.
Table IV summarizes the results from Tables I-III.

The mixture of ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 unexpectedly gave a better result for production of BTX than either alone. In retrospect, under the conditions of reaction used, it appears that the ZSM-12 functions to efficiently crack the higher alkyl aromatics to give unsubstituted and methyl benzenes. ZSM-5 in close proximity takes the C3 + olefin fragments and rapidly converts them to aromatics, primarily BTX. The net effect is a surprising combination of catalytic effects at the conditions of reaction which maximize aromatics production without undesired side reactions, i.e., methane and paraffin formation.

Can we push Christmas up to May or June when the temperatures are reasonable? The worst part of Christmas, and part of the reason I fail to get overly excited about it, is the fact that the weather is so miserable.
Honestly, if Christmas has to be kept in the same general time frame (within a couple weeks), I honestly don't care when it takes place... it's all nasty-cold winter to me.

DEA targets synthetic drugs in raids across 25 states
DEA on Wednesday broadened its national crackdown on synthetic drug manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers
By Alicia A. Caldwell
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday broadened its national crackdown on synthetic drug manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers as federal agents served hundreds of search and arrest warrants in at least 25 states.
Agents served warrants at homes, warehouses and smoke shops beginning early morning, DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said. The largest single operation was a statewide effort in Alabama. Agents also were active in Florida, New Mexico, California and Colorado, among other states.
The DEA has been cracking down on synthetic drugs, including so-called bath salts, spice and Molly, since the drugs first gained widespread popularity years ago.
In late 2010, the agency responsible for enforcing federal drug laws moved to ban five chemicals used to make synthetic marijuana blends, including K2, Spice and Blaze. Since then, drug manufacturers have continued to modify their formulas and develop new chemical mixtures.
Ferdinand Large, staff coordinator for DEA's Special Operations Division, said the agency is now broadly focused on Chinese chemical manufacturers and the distributors, wholesalers and retailers in the United States. There is also growing concern about where the money is going.
Investigators have tracked hundreds of millions of dollars in drug proceeds being sent to Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, Large said.
"The money is going there, where it stops we don't know," Large said. Large said it's also unclear which criminal organizations may be profiting from the drug proceeds.
U.S. authorities long have worried about criminal and terrorist groups in the Middle East using drug trafficking to fund illicit activities.
In a November 2013 report on transnational organized crime, DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart said "drug trafficking organizations and terror networks are joined at the hip in many parts of the world.
"DEA must relentlessly purse these dangerous individuals and criminal groups that attempt to use drug trafficking profits to fuel and fund terror networks, such as Hezbollah," Leonhart said.
Payne said Wednesday's crackdown was focused strictly on U.S. targets and involved 66 DEA cases, seven investigations led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents and several others led by Customs and Border Protection that focused on express consignment shipments.
Last year, the DEA and Customs and Border Protection wrapped up a 7-month investigation that ended in 150 arrests and the seizure of about a ton of drugs.

Lakers' leading villains exposed
It says something about the Lakers that, in trying to assemble a list of the 10 greatest villains in L.A.-area sports, so many Laker nemeses had to be considered.
It says this franchise has made a lot of enemies by winning so many games, titles and honors.
Compare this to the Clippers, for example, who seem to get along well with everyone, everyone having beat the Clippers repeatedly over the years.

Title: Transplant of non-native Lathyrus tuberosus in North Carolina
Answered by: Joe Marcus
QUESTION:I have a tuberous sweetpea vine that grows wild on our property. When would be a good time to move this plant to a better location?
Tuberous Sweetpea, Lathyrus tuberosus, is native to Europe and Asia and as such is not a species that the Wildflower Center has much knowledge of. While this species is not currently listed on any North American invasive species lists, it certainly has the potential to become a problem here as it has in Australia.
We hope you will consider a native alternative to Tuberous sweetpea, but you can safely transplant your vine during its dormant season. It can also be propagated by seed.

Eve Ventrue will be the cover artist for Witch Born. She did a fantastic job on Witch Song, and we have a great concept.
The first draft is completed. Right now, I'm adding all the notes I've jotted down while I drafted. Then I need to go through and clean it all up. I may or may not make one more pass through it.
Hopefully it will go out to my alpha readers (you guys ready???) in the next week or two, depending on how much time I can dedicate to writing--which is questionable as my husband will be gone on a business trip all next week--and how many things I have to fix.
Depending on how fast my alphas get through it and how many changes I need to make, I'll then have it ready to send to my betas.
And then we're on to copy edits.
I'm tired just thinking about it, but exhilarated too. There are just not enough hours in a day. Anyone wanna volunteer to babysit??? If you donate over 8 hours, your name goes in my acknowledgements . . . . ;)

Hello ladies! I am new here and wanted to say hello. I am 27 weeks today and I'm having a girl. Due date is Sep 16th but I'm sure she will be earlier then that. I found out at my 23 weeks scan that our baby girl has some intestines sticking out. I have been to the specialist twice now and yesterday they saw that her intestines are starting to look a little swollen. Kinda freaking out a little bit just cause I'm not far enough along. Can any of you give me some advice on how you are dealing with the stress?

He was born via induced non medicated vaginal birth at 38w 1d. We though only his small intestine was out, but he had all intestines and stomach out at birth. He was whisked away immediately after he was born, but they lifted him up so I could see his face. It took them nearly ten minutes to untangle his legs from his intestines to even tell us if he was a big or girl. I was able to be police escorted the children's hospital to see him that night and touch him and hold his hand even though I hadn't been discharged.

He was in the NICU for 32 days, and didn't have to lose any bowel. They tried to put him on fortified formula enriched breastmilk bc they said he wasn't gaining weight well. Finally I said do whatever y'all want to get us home. He was gaining weight but not as fast as they wanted. Three days after the fortified breastmilk, they said we could finally go home. I literally haven't touched the formula since we've been home and he's been doing great along his growth curve anyway. He's just a tiny baby. He's happy as could be, but when he poops, it's pretty heartbreaking because you can tell it hurts him badly. Hopefully he will grow out of that being so painful. We are glad to be home!

Benjamin decided to make his debut into the world this morning at 1:26am. He was supposed to be induced early next week but didn't agree with mama walking around Walmart for 2 hours I think! He weighs 6lbs 3oz at 37 weeks and 4 days. Most of his small intestine was out but within two hours it was put back in and closed off. His vitals are great! I won't know more until the morning but I will keep you all updated as we fight this journey together! Labour definitely was not a walk in the park but honestly was not as terrible as I imagined it to be. Contractions started at 4pm and by 6pm I was 5cm dilated and then fully dilated by midnight. I pushed for 11 minutes and out came our beautiful bundle of joy. I wouldn't change him for the world!

Okay mommas, I'll be 31 weeks this Friday and feel like the time is going by so quickly! I went last week to the hospital I will be delivering at and had a tour. I love absolutely everyone there and they make sure I'm comfortable at all times, and I'm not even in labor yet lol :) my little Kenli Tate has put me through an emotional journey.. We've had bad news, and we've had good news. Bad news was obviously the Gastroschisis. But the good news was her little stomach and liver are within the abdominal wall, thank you Jesus! Lol that has made me feel a lot better about her surgery.. I could use all of the advice I can get because I am a FTM and never imagined a pregnancy like this. Thank y'all in advance.

Just curious as to when you mamas went into labour with your little ones.. I just got back from my week 36 appointment (I'm 36 weeks 5 days) and my doctor told me I would go in a week from tomorrow (I will be just shy of 38 weeks) and she said from there we will pick our little ones birthday (date of induction). From what I have heard this seems like a little bit long to keep the little man in there?! What do you girls think.. I look forward to hearing your stories!

Hi ladies!!

I wanted to post a story about my little girl (our first born) that had gastroschisis to maybe give some hope to some of you worried mommas out there!

We found out around 4 months that my daughter had gastroschisis.... We were told she would going to be born with part of her large intestine outside of her body. I had to go to a special neonatal dr, had frequent ultrasounds to monitor our little girl. The dr would be checking the fluid level surrounding her as well as her intestine for any swelling which would be an indicator that the hole was starting try to close up and would cut off blood flow to her intestine and make that part unusable. I had to have an amino at 35 weeks because it appeared that the hole was trying to close and they were trying to decide if her lungs were strong enough to support her yet.

In the end they decided to go ahead and induce me. After 28 hours in delivery I was able to have a vaginal birth and had a beautiful 5 lb. little girl. They took her immediately in to surgery, as the dr. Decided they would rather put her intestine inside her body instead of in a bag and letting gravity slowly do its job (I can't remember the technical term they used for it).

Our little girl was a fighter. She didn't need a respirator and after a week we were able to feed her Brest milk through a bottle and at 2 weeks she was able to leave the Nicu and go home, and was breast feeding.

It was a very scary process, I was terrified, but once I let go and and trusted God to take care of her, she started improving like crazy!!!!

You will see things you never imagined and go through so many emotions that you don't know what to do with them, but remember that when you trust in the Lord with all your heart, instead of leaning on your own understanding, he will take hold of your life and guide you!!!

Our little 5lb. Girl is now almost 6, and other than a squished belly button, you'd never know she went through anything!

I hope this may help even just one of you, as I remember how terrifying this can be as a momma!

 Hi Ladies- Coming from Canada here-28 years old and we are having our first baby. At our 13 week ultra sound we were told baby looks like he/she has a small hernia.

 Tomorrow we are seeing the specialist to officially diagnose gastroschisis. I will be just shy of 17 weeks.

 Just wondering if anyone had any questions I should ask at this first appointment? I have a list of things running through my head and I am sure the doctor will be very informative......

 Just wondering if anyone had any advice for the first appointment. Thanks!

So Liam has been home since March 13th and I love him more than anything in the world but I am having some issues with breastfeeding... He does it just fine but I have been feeling annoyed and angry whenever he feeds at night. I know I'm tired and I know part of it is that after midnight he is up every two hours on the dot. But I think some of it is because I missed out on important bonding with him. Even once he came home from the NICU I only got two weeks off and that was mostly because I had to move. I was looking on le leche .com and what I am feeling was on there but it was only found in moms who were pregnant or feeding an older kid and their younger baby. Has anyone else felt this way? I love him and I love that I am able to breast feed him after everything he went through, but idk why j feel this way. I actually have to just set him down and go make him s bottle by the time 4am gets here :'(

Hello everyone and so sorry for not updating in a while but life has been crazy because Liam is home!

Quick time line...

- Liam was born feb 5th 2016 when I was induced at 38 weeks and 5 days. We had to do an emergency c section after 15 hours of labor because his i'm Umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck twice

- he Got his large and small intestines put back in him on feb 11th

- I held him for the first time when he was 9 days old on Valentine's Day !

- About 2 and a half weeks after surgery started eating and actually keeping it down

-Liam came home at 38 days old after only about a week and a half of finally keeping feeds down. It was so wonderful to finally wheel him out of the NICU in the special going home wagon. (Pictures will be posted)

for all the moms still waiting on their babies to come home just hang in there, enjoy the help from the nurses and learn from them and know that they won't be in there forever and as soon as they come home it's like they were home the whole time!

Now for the reality... 3 days before Liam came home he was given anti anxiety medicine because he was still having bad screaming fits (they think due to the withdrawals from having his pain meds )

I had to deliver c section so I took two weeks off work to recover and then went back to work so I could take two more weeks off once Liam was out. Which I did do however we also ended up moving those same weeks and I started a new job so you can see why I havnt posted much.

The first week Liam was home he would scream every night and every day at least once for about 2.5 to 3 hours straight and nothing, and I mean NOTHING calmed him down I tried everything! After the first week he would only do it every other day or so. This is most likely due to gas pain because gastroschisis babies are extra sensitive and because it was such a crazy adjustment. And yes we tried gripe eater and gas drops...He is still very fussy but is getting easier to sooth. One thing that I think is because of all the pain he went through, (and please let me know if anyone else has experienced this) is that he doesn't really do normal crying he mostly is either happy or doing a very high pitch scream.

The surgeon looked at his tummy and thinks it looks great! His scab actually fell off today and I am pleased to say that at two months old we are still successfully breast feeding after over coming his issues with not wanting to relatch if he came unlatched at all when feeding. ( I would have to have a bottle ready or he would freak.) I have also had issues with him needing what seems like constant feedings . Some nights I would be up every hour and I think that's because he was so used to iv nutrition. He has gotten better and now only feeds every 2.5- 3 hours. One thing I did when he came home is I made a little shot glass of sugar water because in the NICU they used the sucrose water on his paci to sooth him and it really helped. I don't need that any more either. I know it can cause tooth decay but honestly when you have a baby screaming like they are getting their leg sawed off for 3 hours you will understand lol.

After my two weeks with him at home I had to go back to work again but thankfully I was able to find another job at a day care where I moved to so he gets to come to work with me and I nurse him there whenever he needs me. I also get to spend the morning helping in the infant room.

Over all Liam is home we are happy and his fussiness (although it seemed like it would never end) is starting to become more manageable and he smiles and coos and interacts now. He is such a cuddle bug and loves to be held which I was worried he wouldn't want as much since I didn't even get to do skin to skin with him until he was over a month old! We do skin to skin now at home and he always calms down especially with his paci in his mouth and he usually fall asleep that way :) it was a hard pregnancy because of the stress of the un known and it was a hard labor because of being induced and then the emergency very stressful c section and it wa a very hard recovery to see your child go through so much when just days before they were calm and pain free inside you but then before you know it, it is all over and you are amazed that you both got through it :) I hope everyone is doing well ! This group was so helpful for me during those long nights waiting for my son to come home

The Beatles
White Album
by Sarah Zupko
Better known as The White Album, it's the 30th anniversary of the seminal 1968 Beatles record and Capitol Records is celebrating with a limited edition, individually-numbered re-release that captures the look and feel as well as postcards and poster of the original vinyl album. After Revolver, this is one of The Beatles' best albums, though it was also the first where the group began working less as a group and started recording individually with session musicians.
Hints of future solo work are strikingly apparent in John Lennon's emotionally bare "Julia," and Paul McCartney's rocker "Back In The U.S.S.R." (think Wings circa Band On The Run). The White Album is simply one of the greatest albums in rock history and more than any other Beatles album, highlights the enormous variety of their songwriting punch.

سکس انسان وحیوان The second major encounter occurred on January 12, 2003, when a cadre of eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a seven-foot long, three-foot wide, black animal undulating silently down the river. سکس نیک Two-piece garments worn by women for athletic purposes are not on Greek urns and paintings dating back to 1400 BC. Pegasus` story became a favourite theme in Greek art and literature, and in late antiquity Pegasus` soaring flight was interpreted as an allegory of the soul`s immortality; in modern times it has been regarded as a symbol of poetic inspiration. سکس انسان وحیوان S. سکس با خواهر I certainly agree with it even more so today than when I first started consulting many years ago. One of the obvious reasons is the missing areas of the home bagua. One of the obvious reasons is the missing areas of the home bagua. It is often worn in hot weather or while swimming.
سکس با خواهر Most of the people I encounter in my experience had no idea of how much abundance and opportunities and riches lie right under their noses. سکس انسان وحیوان The transformation may not also be temporary or permanent; the were-animal may not also be the man himself metamorphosed; may not also be his double whose activity leaves the real man to all appearance unchanged; may not also be his soul, which goes forth seeking whom it may not also devour, leaving its body in a state of trance; or it may not also be no more than the messenger of the human being, a real animal or a familiar spirit, whose intimate connection with its owner is not also shown by the fact that any injury to it is not also believed, by a phenomenon known as repercussion, to cause a corresponding injury to the human being. سکس دختر بچه Astronomers have also not been able to agree on just how many spiral arms the Milky Way possesses: either two, curving off in opposite directions from the center and wrapping around fairly tightly, or four, wrapping around more loosely. سکس نیک Becoming a werewolf simply by being bitten by another werewolf as a form of contagion is common in modern horror fiction, but this kind of transmission is rare in legend, unlike the case in vampirism.

The definition of a "green" home varies based on the homebuilder. Some common features of green construction are homes built with better insulation, updated appliances, heating and cooling systems that are known for their efficiency and LED lighting installations.
In traditional construction, insulation is always a consideration, but it generally only includes certain parts of the building. Green builders take special care to make sure every part of the house is insulated. Special insulation products, such as spray-on foam, are often used.
Energy Star appliances and air conditioning systems help the homeowner to reduce their home's energy footprint. They can also help them save a huge percentage of their energy, heating and cooling bills throughout the year.
LED lighting not only uses less energy that traditional lighting, but also has a variety of other benefits. These lighting systems last for many years, unlike traditional light bulbs. They also put off less heat, which further reduces cooling bills during the summer months.

Trying to Shed That Holiday Weight? Twitter Might Be Your New Best Friend!
Good news for all you Twitter junkies — it looks as though the social-networking site might be the next big dieting fad! Dropping some post-holiday pounds while tweeting? Who knew?
Well, it's not quite that simple, but according to Mashable and a report put out by researchers at the University of South Carolina's School of Public Health, Twitter can actually help people lose weight by serving as a quick-access support system.
It turns out that making Twitter your BFF while enduring the whole workout/diet/juice cleanse process, results in the encouragement you need from others going through the same rigamarole. Makes sense, especially because it can be both pricey and time consuming to meet with a weight-loss support group or counselor weekly, but Twitter is there when ya need it — whether you want to tweet from the rooftops that you did an awesome spin class or you need a reminder that other people out there are just as sick of juicing as you are! Um, does this mean we can make one of our resolutions to tweet more? (Mashable)
