Hi. I am in urgent need of help. Here is a run down of what's going on:
I was an MT user. I am migrating to wordpress. Basically, I have a website where I simply used the PHP INCLUDE to include the /mt/index.php where I wanted the news posts to show up. I am trying to do the same with wordpress but I recieve errors. This worked no problem with MT... All I want to do is have the posts/articles to show up in the text body of an existing webpage. I don't want to keep using MT but will have to if I can't fix this easily.
The line in my php document:
<?php include("wp_newswire/index.php"); ?>
And the error message I recieve:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/20/d113155622/htdocs/wp_newswire/index.php on line 4
Once I get this working, I will edit my template to match my MT one - it basically just hides/discludes all the extra items so all that is displayed is the posts and not the search and archives and all the extra hyperlinks.

text: Love the plugin. When I first install this, I prefer to not click the "secure site from basic attacks" button because it emails the admin if I don't change the DB backup settings first. So I had been changing that and then going back to "secure site from basic attacks". But with this version of Better WP Security, I don't see a way to click that button if you don't click it immediately after installing the plugin! It would be very convenient. Is there a way? Thanks!

Two babies, the same age. One in the NICU, surrounded by life-saving doctors, the other left alone and exposed in a hospital closet. This can and does happen in America.
Claire's biological mom became pregnant with her at the age of 13. Her mother had a surgical abortion at a local clinic. A few weeks later, she realized she was still pregnant, so she went to an out-of-state late-term abortion clinic to do a second abortion. At the clinic they told her she had been pregnant with twins — one was aborted, one survived. Claire met her birth mother in 2009 and found out that she survived the abortion that took the life of her [...]

Pioneer?s Flavours of China: "Good chinese" Delhi Restaurant Tip by Willettsworld
Delhi Restaurants: 152 reviews and 184 photos
There are quite a few Chinese restaurants around Connaught Place and this one is a little cheaper than some as its located on the Outer Circle. The menu is full of your normal Chinese dishes that you'll expect to find. I had a nice spicy pork as I had not eaten any pork in Delhi up until that point as its considered not the done thing by the muslim population. Anyway, good food and service washed down with a large beer for Rs75.

Skip to comments.Quantum mechanics flummoxes physicists again
Posted on 07/24/2010 5:35:11 PM PDT by LibWhacker
click here to read article
Except that in the double-slit experiment we are observing the outcome of both cases in the exact same way.
In other words, our manner of interfering in order to observe the outcome of the experiment is no different in the case that results in the wave manifestation than in the case that results in the particle manifestation. In both cases, we are observing by measuring the impact of the electrons or photons on a screen after having passed through the slit or slits, in the same way.
So the different results cannot be explained by a difference in the way we are interfering in order to observe.
I didn't follow that. Could you elaborate on how that applies for each case? Specifically, how do you apply the notion of observation deciding the outcome, and how do you keep the act of observation completely benign, in the double-slit experiment?
I'm also interested in knowing about the "neutrality" of the slits themselves, and how they ensure that only one particle is ejected at a time, with certainty.
What I'm basically trying to clarify, is the following. The particle-wave duality of electrons is confirmed by the double-slit experiment in the following manner:
Case 1: Pass electron beam through double slit, unobserved. Result: Interference patterns on screen.
Case 2: Pass electron beam through double slit, observed.
Result: No interference pattern on screen.
What I said earlier was that the act of observation was not benign.
more like:
Case 1: Pass electron beam through double slit, after which beam strikes passive detection screen. Results on screen shows a wave-like pattern of troughs and valleys of intensity as if the electrons are interfering with each other like two sets of ocean waves.
Case 2 (close one slit): Pass electron beam through single slit, after which beam strikes passive detection screen. Pattern on screen does not show a wave-like pattern (instead, particle-like).
And interestingly, in the double-slit case, even if you slow down the electron beam so that each electron goes one at a time, the pattern that emerges on the detection screen still shows the wave-like pattern, as if the electrons as a group are interfering with each other like the two sets of ocean waves.
And may also be worth noting that God SPOKE light into existence.
Speech, to us, in human terms, is creating a wave (a sound wave). Perhaps God was giving us a small clue.
Basically what you mentioned does not have anything to do with the act of "observation" affecting the choice of what the electron wants to do, right? No hocus-pocus "electron intelligence"...
Just that the electrons produce interference patterns through a double slit, whether they are fired en-masse or one by one, and they produce a single pattern, when fired through a single slit.
Did I infer the above correctly?
In the double-slit case, we see a wave-like pattern on the screen, as if the electron beams are like two ocean waves flowing through both slits and interfering with each other.
What if we try to observe the electrons as they pass through the slits? Will we see waves passing through, or particles?
If we do that, the wave pattern collapses, and the electrons act like particles.
So in this case, when we try to observe the electron acting like a wave directly, it doesn't display the wave-like property. So arguably, this variation brings in the consideration you raised as to the act of observation interfering with the sub-atomic particle.
Very mysterious.
Physics ping
What it implies, essentially, is that the interfering act of observation is causing the wave function of the particles to be dissipated, and has nothing to do with any supernatural "intelligence" being displayed by the electron itself. Mostly pointing to our lack of understanding of how the wave function gets depleted by the act of interference, and that has not been explained, yet.
Arguably, but go back to the post 53 situation, and consider the case where the electron beam is slowed down so as to only emit a single electron at a time.
The single electron emitted, in a traditional way of thinking, would only pass through one or the other of the two open slits, not both at the same time.
How does it "know" at the time it passes through one such slit whether the other slit is open so as to (together with its predecessor and successor brother electrons) produce a wave pattern on the screen, compared to the case when the other slit is closed, and no wave-like result is produced?
I conclude electrons do not like slits
Again, this is not as if the electron is "aware" of the two slits, but rather, two slits guaranteeing a diminishing of the particle's wave function. The mystery boils down to us not knowing what it is in multiple slits that causes the wave function to diminish, yes?
What would truly be baffling, is if the experiment were to be performed with two slits, each divided by a suitable partition from the other, throughout the length of the path the electron takes, and the experiment repeated.
If closing or opening one slit affected the other, in this arrangement, it would be amazing.
The EPR Paradox, and confirming experimental data, suggest otherwise.
Personally, I do not subscribe to the Copenhagan Interpretation or the Many Worlds Theory.
I suspect that there is a residual connectedness of all energy (and remember, all matter is merely a manifestation of energy) from the Creation, and that this connectedness stands outside of and apart from our conception of time. And I am not convinced that there is a speed limit "c" of electromagnetic propagation that has always been constant, as claimed by most physicists.
There is no question the same result would obtain in that situation. Yes, be amazed.
Actually put the Cat in the box and then decide poison or no poison ... pull the trigger and see if your results are different than expected.
Change your mind after the fact and you have a 50% chance of changing the outcome.
Rocket Surgery at it's best
I make no claim on understanding how physical reality works, but in the "single electron" experiment, I don't think there is enough evidence to show an interference pattern, or even the "shades of brightness" inherent in the single slit arrangement.
The brightest at the center, dimming as one deviates from side to side, is a probabilistic artifact. any given particle has a probability of landing somewhere, more likely aligned with the source/slit line, probability of landing elsewhere depends on the angular deviation from that straight line.
So too, the interference pattern depends on more than one wave being present. Although a single wave will have peak/trough.
So, my semi-educated thought is that the observation is an artifact of probabilities, rather than a single electron literally interacting with two slits.
A single electron does not produce multiple impacts on the passive capture screen. Same for single proton, photon, etc.
I don't think you can construct this. What you are describing is two single slit experiments, side by side.
In other words, if the partition runs the full length of the path, one slit or the other will be isolated from a source of electrons (or light, or protons), and will emit nothing.
You can never have two independent, isolated pathways.
It's called the tunneling effect.
It can tunnel through time or space or energy barriers. Not every time, but enough times to make you throw out the baby with the bathwater.
While that is true for some barriers, I believe it is possible to erect a barrier, e.g., to block photons. Without a barrier to block photons, how do you make a slit, or differentiate a one-slit "barrier" from a two-slit, etc.?
In Young's experiment, observing the wave nature of a photon depends on a single photon having access to more than one slit. When a single photon has access to one slit, a bell-curve pattern results. My remark is that one could run two of those "one photon at a time, one slit" generators and superimpose the bell-curves. What is the result?
True, which is why I am hesitant to believe that electrons have some kind of "intelligence", or hocus-pocus, to detect observation and behave accordingly.
No individual particle (or photon, or unit of other form of electromagnetic radiation) does. The observed patterns are the result of probability, played out over millions of discrete events.
True, and even the observed anomalies are due to the inherent failings of recordable statistics.
Ya think it's hard for the finite to grasp the infinite? Could be...
"If any of them (there are some, and I read their works) knew God then they would be doing totally different sets of studies from totally different points of view."
Your assumption that they do not know God is for the most part incorrect.
Their spokesmen mostly do not know God, but the lion's share of productive scientists do. The propaganda is all that penetrates to the news, and that is what you're basing your judgement upon.
"Pure and singular length with no mass, no width, no height. What we call light is NOT what these guys are measuring."
Not true!
Light is a band of the electromanetic spectrum that has certain shared properties; some of it visible, and some not.
The devices that I use to do my work use light to make various measurements by sending a coded signal with a beam of light. If the light didn't occupy all four dimensions (and probably more) those measurements wouldn't be possible.
Your sense of what the properties of light are is simply not complete.
"What would truly be baffling, is if the experiment were to be performed with two slits, each divided by a suitable partition from the other, throughout the length of the path the electron takes, and the experiment repeated."
That has been done, and also by splitting the beam with prisms into two temporally simultaneous beams, and in both cases, with the same results.
A link to literature describing it would be great. What was it called?
A topic that is finally worthy of my sig line.
Glad I could help. :')

golob sez - "im sure glad there are people that don't participate in destroying the world like i do"
Why is the idea of bombing them hilarious?
It's comforting that there are a few groups of people who have to deal with hunger and water issues constantly? Who are always fighting for survival? Who have no ready access to healthcare or education?
I mean, sheesh, I am personally trying to reduce my carbon footprint and oil consumption, but let's not forget that industrialization and oil have led to most of us leading longer, healthier, more educated, lives with more free time.
This makes me sad. But I think their instinct to try and shoot down the airplane was spot on.
Because bombing stone aged, hell, even bronze age societies into the stone age is humorous.
Do you have time for this foolishness, Golob? Where are my monkeys? Where is my army of mind-controlled monkey warriors whose very thoughts I can manipulate with the flip of a switch? I need those monkeys. I must have them or all my plans and all my work will mean nothing. Nothing!
Go and do not return until you have some o-fucking-bedient monkeys to show me. Do not fail me, Golob. Do not fail me again...
What a snob thing to say. How come you didn't point out how they (most likely) don't own a TV?
@2 I'm thinking more of a "The Gods must be Crazy" scenario.
I think one of them is wearing Nikes...
Isolated self-sufficient populations are Homo Sapiens' insurance policy.
Too much self-tanner if you ask me.
If you look at what happens to indigenous peoples after introduction and incorporation into the "modern" world, generally you find dire poverty, increased mortality from disease and violence, rampant drug and alcohol addiction, and loss of culture and native language. It's a pattern that has been repeated thousands of times around the globe. It's not terribly comforting that they've been "found", because very shortly, do-gooders bringing the virtues of Western civilization will descend upon them, and like always, will wipe out their culture and leave them with useless shiny trinkets, syphillis, and a hankering for booze. Hopefully they have the sense to run fast, run far.
Run, people, run! We'll come bearing well-meaning white liberal guilt and goodwill, but no matter who comes, you're fucked either way.
Oh, The Stranger reads Boing Boing. Good for The Stranger. Guess what? So do I. And you're right - this is a good article. I enjoyed it when I read it 10 minutes ago on Boing Boing. Stop scratching for content from other sites and loading up my RSS reader and get back to writing about Seattle.
the west are like the borg; awesome
Google's Street View has definitely gone too far.
I can't wait until they find Jesus. All problems solved (tm).
Don't bomb them! Drop 'em down a pack of smokes instead. Kill 'em nice and sa-loooooooow.
You're right. Move them into a Brazilian slum, stat. All in all, they're better off than most poor people on this planet. They can make their own time, they depend on the land rather than on exploitive employers or government handouts, and they don't have raw sewage flowing right next to their dwellings.
I like the colors.
Damn, beat me to it, I bet they already have something to smoke anyways. Is that a big pile of coke there? No wonder why they're so paranoid.
You know what these folks really need? Charles Mudede.
@14, this was on Reddit last night. Sorry it took you until this morning to find it on BoingBoing.
Teh internets are not a race. Relax.
Poe Folks @22,
Wait till Mudede finds out that Natalie Merchant, in the ultimate fit of white fauxlksinger (sic) guilt, has moved to live among them.
In my tribe, indeed.
#1 is right... They are going to outlive us when the food and water shortages begin.
But I guess you can take comfort in that, right Golob?
@19, Oh, I forgot that those were only two options available to "poor people."
Slums are bad because they generally incorporate the worst of industrialization. But that doesn't mean that it HAS to be that way.
Incorporating some of the "good" from industrialization can vastly improve the life of many tribal people. The last time I visited a village in one of the drylands of India (one of the poorest places on Earth) I saw a woman learning to use a sewing machine for the very first time. The look of pride on her face was just ... awe-inspiring.
Furthermore, proper use of some of the tools of industrialization means education, longer lives, and not being entirely beholden to weather patterns which in the age of climate change is very important.
even jungle folk feel the urge to be snazzy. body paint rules.
@12 - thanks.
look out for the old man just out of frame in this picture, old Mr Todd...he'll make you read Dickens to him for the rest of your life...
When I think about how angry I get having my evening interupted by a telemarketer...
@ arduous, #3 - And here you have the exact moral dilemma that white Westerners have been grappling with for centuries. Confronted with "backward" indigenous peoples, the Western heart fills with pity and longs to do something to "help the poor unfortunates" - help them with a strong application of soap and Jesus, for starters. It never once enters the mind of the sympathetic Westerner that, not only have these poor backward people been doing just fine for millenia, thank you, but in fact, Western "help" equals a death sentence for original peoples and cultures the world over.
How about we let this handful of individuals live out their natural lives in their own natural world, which I assure you is quite as full of medicine and spirituality as your own.
I don't see how these people are poor. Move them into a slum and, yes, they're poor. Leaving them to choose their own destinies, leave them alone, period, and they're a hell of a lot richer than most people on this planet.
Why apply that line of thinking only to people that are currently undiscovered? Why not all people?
@12 @28, this story in the Daily Mail makes the same point.
Why not a Costco instead?
They're more efficient and they pay better wages.
@32, I admit I don't know the situation in every country on Earth, but I think most of the time, villagers CHOOSE to go to the slums because they can't survive in the villages. At least I know that is the case in India.
That's why I support things like putting the villages on the grid, digging of wells in villages, teaching of new farming techniques that might make villagers survive better, etc. These practices enable these villagers to still live on the land on mostly their own terms, but it also provides a safety net for the villagers so they can survive a very bad year, etc.
@31, I'm actually not white, and frankly, I'm all for giving tribal people the choice. But my problem was with Jonathan's words that it is comforting to see groups not absorbed into industrialization. It's comforting for us right now that not every Chinese and Indian citizen has a car, because it means we can continue to overuse our share of resources. But most of us would never CHOOSE to live a life that wasn't largely petroleum-fueled.
If those tribal people choose to live the lives they have been living for centuries, I say carry on! Hell, the Amish have done it! But if what they choose is industrialization and the material comforts, not to mention just plain old life expectancy that it has brought us, I think that's fair too.
What this situation needs is a liberal application of the Prime Directive.
I swear, this is going to turn out to be the backstory for some J J Abrams project.
Regardless of how you feel about these people, you have to admit it would be frickin' hilarious if one of those arrows hit an engine just right or something and really did knock the plane out of the sky.
From the article on www.msnbc.com (originally from survival international):
"...over the 20 years he has been working in the area, the number of "malocas," or grass-roofed huts, has doubled, suggesting that the policy of isolation is working and that populations are growing."
From this one would gather that this tribe and others like it are doing pretty okay.
Also from the article:
"First contact is often completely catastrophic for "uncontacted" tribes. It's not unusual for 50 percent of the tribe to die in months after first contact," said Miriam Ross, a campaigner with the Indian rights group Survival International. "They don't generally have immunity to diseases common to outside society. Colds and flu that aren't usually fatal to us can completely wipe them out."
Putting this tribe "on the grid" would be devestating not only to their health and overall population, but to their culture. If you need further proof of this please visit an American Indian reservation...or, for really horrifying proof, visit the kidney dialysis center on an Indian Reservation to see what Western diet and lifestyle does to native american health.
i'm so tempted to make a comment about native american responsibility that goes beyond what i said a few words ago.
@36 - Just to add to the well-written response @40, keep in mind: there's nothing that Westerners can do to "help" these people. They've been doing quite well for millennia, and their culture - which includes amazingly advanced technologies for survival wholly incompatible with a Western worldview - would be utterly shattered by any contact with Westerners.
Did you get a look at how healthy and muscular they look? They don't appear to be starving or suffering. It's all too tempting to automatically associate a "primitive" or "savage" lifestyle with suffering, but that's only because you've seen the deleterious effects of Western civilization on indigenous peoples. If it weren't for the rigorous economic demands of the Western lifestyle - which can only be accepted whole-hog, and NOT in any part - the villagers you saw in India would most likely be doing just fine. And besides, India is a completely different circumstance, on a subcontinent with a long and storied contact with European civilization.
Just consider any of the tools or techniques you might introduce. We're talking tools fashioned in factories, perhaps mechanized equipment. How is that supposed to be sustained without further adoption of Western technology? You disturb the balance of resources, make one tribe richer than another, and pretty soon there's greed and war, and lots of other concepts imported from the West.
No, we have nothing to offer them. Nothing. Before extolling the benefits of Westernization, let's see if we can't clean up its record first by making life better for the millions of impoverished people already living under the grip of industrial society in slums around the world. Then - MAYBE - we can talk. Until then, Godspeed, indigenous people. May this be the last anyone in the West ever sees of them.
The one in the black body paint looks kinda hot.
I don't think that's body paint.
@40 & 43, thank you for your posts. You make very good points, and I appreciate your in depth responses to my posts.
I see your points, and they make sense to me, but they still fill me with a slight uneasiness. The idea of no contact almost makes it feel like we are treating these people like they are animals in a zoo as opposed to human beings.
The thing that really upset me in Jonathan's post was his words that it was comforting to see people not absorbed into industrialization, because I think a lot of people romanticize the life of tribal peoples when it is a very hard one. Which is why, I suspect, that when a group does receive "contact," with civilization even when they are not forced to assimilate into civilization, they many times choose to do so.
I disagree that were it not for western civilization villagers in India would be doing quite well. I mean it's impossible to say, of course, we can't see what the alternate history is. But the fact of the matter is, famines existed in pre-industrial days. So did terrible diseases. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't seem incredibly fair for us to relegate huge swathes of humanity to a life unenriched by knowledge, literature etc. When we look at Maslow's heirarchy of needs, these people are just fulfilling their basic needs (although if there's a drought or something, they may not even do that). And that's very well and good, but is it fair for us, who are attaining higher levels of the pyramid to say, oh it's okay, that's all they need anyway?
At one point we all were nomadic hunters and gatherers, right? Why did we gradually form civilizations? Why did we industrialize? Why did we build planes, trains, and automobiles? No one held a gun to our heads. We did it because they made our lives better.
Progression is natural. The problem is not industrialization, it's that some cultures have to achieve progression in compressed amounts of time.
But eventually, the question is, is it worth it?
One of my good friends in India is the daughter of a servant. Her family comes from a poor village and moved to Delhi because there were no jobs in the villages. But this girl received a good education, she speaks English, she got a good job, and she ended up marrying a middle class Indian. She is living a life that her great grandparents in the villages probably didn't even know existed. So was civilization eventually worth it for this family from the villages? She'd probably say yes.
They're looking pretty riled up -- must be guarding a crystal skull!
I suppose they're behind on their taxes. Who wants to go down there and explain that situation to them?
If we're going to bomb them, well, if our country is crawling with weirdo Civil War re-enactors... wouldn't first dibs go to Sons of Conquistadors, Madrid Chapter?
Hmm... under Bush doctrine, we might be able to bomb them -- if you're not with us in the GWOT, you're against us! And since these folks don't even know who we are, they're against us. Let the cruise missiles fly... sure, it's random and cruel, but I suspect we've killed more than a few folks by accident in the past, oh, 7 years.
Also random and cruel? Dropping off Shaquille O'Neal in his "Kazaam" costume. Rapping.
Or Robert Reich on a Segueway scooter. Either one is likely to be killed, or revered as a god, within 10 minutes. Let's find out!
I'm sorry. At what point did I say anything about that being exclusive to those people?
Oh, shut up. When a group of Native Americans expressed a desire to separate from the U.S. and take care of themselves for a change, you went apeshit. You know nothing about them and your opinions are irrelevant.
i mocked them for many reasons.
1. they can't take care of themselves with the small help they get. the government allows them the right to do some crazy shit on their reservations and as a participant in the government i don't feel like parting with the land they live on for whatever sanctimonious moral reasons you come up with.
2. they don't have anything to offer other people besides patronizing doodads and trinkets.
3. they don't need to be apart from the united states to make positive changes.
4. people defend their poverty as being the complete fault of people from the 1800s
5. I know nothing of why natives make bad choices in the face of being presented hard choices.
i don't afford pity to people just because their lives are harder than others.
I see where you're coming from.
Not to mention the fact that it doesn't seem incredibly fair for us to relegate huge swathes of humanity to a life unenriched by knowledge, literature etc.
Consider for a moment the possibility that knowledge and literature exist outside the published canon, and that there are paths to spiritual fulfillment that are outside of the realms of typical Western experience. We're looking at a tribe which doubtless has a complex system of myths and rituals, replete with oral history, magic, storytelling, probably music and dancing, and (since the evidently have paint) possibly also art. Self-fulfillment is not contingent on a Western lifestyle. In fact, one could argue that the comforts of a Western lifestyle are an obstacle to be overcome.
At one point we all were nomadic hunters and gatherers, right? Why did we gradually form civilizations? Why did we industrialize? Why did we build planes, trains, and automobiles? No one held a gun to our heads. We did it because they made our lives better.
This is an excellent question, one which has been consuming philosophers and anthropologists for centuries. To get up to speed, take a look at Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. Suffice to say, the drivers of the development of civilization were a lot more complex than comfort alone.
Again, I'd say that comparing this remote, isolated village to any poor people in India is a non-sequitur. These people don't need "jobs", they can fend for themselves - they're empowered to do so because they don't have needs that exceed the resources and technologies available to them. Perhaps one day some of them may step out of the forest and decide to get jobs in the city. That's their prerogative. But showing up in their lives would force there hand more than leaving them alone ever would.
*their hand.
I type too fast.
@46, a couple things you just said make me have to jump in:
"The idea of no contact almost makes it feel like we are treating these people like they are animals in a zoo as opposed to human beings."
Exactly 100% the opposite of true. Can you see why letting these animals (yes, they are animals, just like you and me) remain unscathed in their natural environment is the exact opposite of loading them up and imprisoning them in an artificial environment?
"The thing that really upset me in Jonathan's post was his words that it was comforting to see people not absorbed into industrialization, because I think a lot of people romanticize the life of tribal peoples when it is a very hard one."
You could just as easily say the same thing about romanticizing the wonders of industrialization. The comforts you describe are brought at a price much more dear than you apparently realize. Yes, these people live in a world without Wal Mart, Lindsay Lohan and petroleum. But I live in a world where it's impossible to choose to live without these things! Who has experienced the greater loss of basic human dignity? And more importantly, WHO ARE YOU TO SAY YOU KNOW? Rudyard Kipling?!
@46 an addendum. I must also agree with DavidG , who is making the best points on this thread. I'm not trying to be condescending or hostile, but I really don't think you have a very good grasp on (1) the vast differences between the people of India--which has one of the oldest civilizations on earth and has had contact with Europe and the rest of Asia for centuries--and the undiscovered tribes of the Amazon, who have miraculously evaded the civilizing hand of Western involvement for centuries or (2) the incredible, nay ENVIABLE richness of indigenous Amazonian cultures. I would add to your list of required reading a book called The Cosmic Serpent by a French anthropologist named Jeremy Narby, as well as the work of the late Harvard ethnologist Richard Evans Schultes. It turns out native Amazonians not only have rich cultural traditions and sustainable environmental practices but also medical knowledge that often surpasses that achieved via the traditional Western empirical model.
I heard these guys have ties to Al-Qaeda.
David, thank you again, I really appreciate your response. I agree that the situations are vastly different between India and the Amazon, and it's not a fair comparison per se. I think I got my hackles raised immediately because I so often hear people talk about Indian tribal peoples in romanticized terms. I also was responding to your argument that had Indian villagers never been exposed to "civilization" they would be perfectly fine. I completely disagree with this, though of course, as a success story of Indian industrialization, I have a personal stake in the matter.
I agree of course that self-fulfillment isn't contingent on the Western lifestyle, but elevated thought isn't limited to Western people. Other civilizations developed reading, writing and maths.
I guess the idea stuck in my head is, why do Aborigines or Native Americans adopt Western diets? Why do they adopt many aspects of Western civilization when given a choice to either adopt civilization or to carry on as they have in the past? We can argue that they make poor choices, but that seems a little unfair no? It feels a little like we're Civilization saying to Nomadic Man, you make bad choices with your lives, so we're going to leave you isolated so you can't make bad choices.
But I appreciate that you know a lot about this subject, and that you've taken the time to respond so sensitively and intelligently to me. I'm obviously just some chick on the internet, who you don't know. You could have been completely dismissive of me, but you weren't.
For all that I have reservations about what you said, and I do, you made some excellent points, and I do plan to check out the book you suggested. So thank you for engaging me in this discussion, and thanks for making me think.
Such interesting discussion in the slog comments today - I'm sorry I'm just seeing it all now.
@55: I agree that there are waay too many of us civilized (white) folks who romanticize some idea of pre-European contact Native American (or other tribal) cultures. But it's also possible that life in those cultures was/is not as difficult as we were taught in school, at least before the old world diseases were introduced to this continent.
I'm not sure the word "choice" can really be used to describe American Indian lifestyles post European colonization. It's not really a choice if your options are to assimilate or die - first there were the devastating diseases that swept through the Americas, then the forced migration of many Indian tribes to areas that were totally unlike the environments they had lived in, the decimation of species tribes relied upon for food and other material needs (either from over-hunting or environmental destruction), forcing Indian children into boarding schools so a lot of cultural and linguistic legacies were lost, etc.
There really wasn't any way for the majority of these peoples to continue living the way they had for hundreds of years, especially since it was against the law or at least prohibited for many Indians to possess hunting tools (weapons) during significant portions of the 1800s. So they did what many people choose to do in similar circumstances: they adapted.
I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure that if Civilization had really given a choice to American Indians the choice would have been to just continue living the lifestyles that had been successful all those years instead of changing, for the most part.
Also - I really liked Guns, Germs and Steel; if you are looking for something more specific to American Indian history you might want to also read Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. But be warned: it's pretty powerful stuff.
I guess the idea stuck in my head is, why do Aborigines or Native Americans adopt Western diets? Why do they adopt many aspects of Western civilization when given a choice to either adopt civilization or to carry on as they have in the past? We can argue that they make poor choices, but that seems a little unfair no? It feels a little like we're Civilization saying to Nomadic Man, you make bad choices with your lives, so we're going to leave you isolated so you can't make bad choices.
It's tempting to feel that we can step up to these people, communicate clearly to them the choices available, and then empower them to step into a fulfilling life in the modern world.
In reality, it's not so easy.
First of all, the very mechanics of contact threaten their current well-being. As with many historical first encounters, we'd unavoidably be exposing them to our bugs and bacteria, and any industrial or economic activities in the area on our part would probably poison their environment to the point where they could no longer live there. To echo @56, to adopt a Western lifestyle is to destroy any option of return. They would not have a choice.
Secondly, for those who would survive such an encounter, what mechanisms would they have? You're an adult who is completely fulfilled, skilled in numerous ways, and your entire worldview is tailored to the sights, smells, sounds, plants, animals, weather, ecology, and technology of your culture. You're a master in it, everything you use you make by hand, and you're intimately familiar with the pleasures and dangers of your environment. But step into the city, and you have nothing. You're illiterate, don't even speak Spanish, Portuguese or English, don't even have a concept of money or material value. Even the concept of an economy - a place where you buy and sell things with strangers, exchanging specialized labor for currency - is mind-warpingly different from a place where you know everyone in your community and you share resources and labor. When you start to introduce these radically foreign notions of currency and abstract value, it has (has had, based on the lessons of history in the Americas) the same effect on indigenous culture that European diseases have had on the body - it's poison. Even those who survive don't necessarily have the cultural framework or value systems to thrive. They'd need to adopt Christianity or something like it (New Atheism) just to get the philosophical framework necessary to survive.
I understand your reservation about not wanting to be condescending to these people. That's a good impulse to have. Clearly, we shouldn't put these people in a zoo or somehow think that they don't have the right to be in charge of their own destiny. That's what we've done to the Native Americans in the United States: we've deprived them of their ability to live their lives as they once did, destroyed their natural resources, fenced them in, and basically gave them no choice but to adopt a Western value system, and then assholes like Bellevue Ave berate them when they choose nothing (often the best choice, given the options). What the organization proposes is keeping a huge buffer around the population so that if they ever make contact with Westerners, it will be on their own terms and their own initiative, and not through some logging crew tearing down their forest and setting fire to their buildings. We have to work to earn the right to make contact in a way that will not be harmful, and we've had such a miserable track record of first encounters that any anthropologist will tell you we'd be better off just leaving them to continue to succeed as they already know how, than taking that away from them for an off-chance at success in the industrial world - which, as we American liberals know, has its own problems.
Wow. Kudos to Slog commenters here! Such an interesting discussion.

Swiss Stocks Decline, Extending Weekly Drop; Roche Falls
Stocks in Switzerland fell, extending this week's drop on the benchmark Swiss Market Index, as investors sold the shares of companies with profits less tied to economic growth.
Roche Holding AG and Novartis AG, which account for more than 32 percent of the gauge by weight, retreated at least 0.7 percent. UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group AG led advancing shares.
The SMI lost 0.3 percent to 6,184.13 at the close in Zurich. The measure dropped 0.9 percent this week. The broader Swiss Performance Index slid 0.1 percent today.
"The risk of a correction is very present as markets have gotten off to a strong start to the year, just like in 2011," said Mikkel Kierkegaard Petersen, a senior equity adviser at Nordea Private Banking in Copenhagen. "This year has been a reverse of last year as cyclical shares have risen while defensives have been left behind."
Stocks fell even as data showed that purchases of new homes in the U.S. exceeded forecasts in January after climbing a month earlier to a one-year high. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of consumer sentiment for February rose to 75.3 from 75 at the end of last month. Economists projected a reading of 73 after a preliminary figure of 72.5, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The U.S. in the world's largest economy.
Roche slid 0.7 percent to 159.30 francs and Novartis fell 1.3 percent to 51.50 francs.
UBS AG and Credit Suisse, the biggest Swiss banks, rose 0.8 percent to 12.88 francs and 1.7 percent to 24.92 francs. It's time to own European investment banks, Bank of America Corp. said in a note today.

Hi Andrew,
First off I love the Faceted Search plugin! I was in the middle of setting up a smoothie recipe database for my girlfriend's WordPress site when I realized that your plugin can accomplish everything we want just by repurposing Categories. Ha!
Anyhow I got a proof-of-concept going but ran into a conflict with Yoast WordPress SEO. If WordPress SEO is activated, Faceted Search will return "No results found" no matter what is searched. I tried disabling options in WordPress SEO that seem relevant but so far the only thing that works is deactivating it.
Anyone run into this? Any ideas?
P.S. As a workaround I might try to create a custom taxonomy and modify Faceted Search to use it per the other thread. I suspect WordPress SEO won't bother interacting with a custom taxonomy so it might allow the two plugins to coexist.

Tsunoda – Kinect will "blow away" iPad sales
Kinect creative chief Kudo Tsunoda reckons the 360 motion camera's going to put Apple's iPad in the shade. It'll probably take it to school as well.
"The pre-orders have been really strong," speaking of Kinect to Gama at TGS.
"As far as what we're looking at for Holiday, this is going to be stuff that'll blow away any of the sales you've seen with iPad.
"The Xbox 360 is already selling better than the Wii and Sony right now. Kinect's really just going to boost that to a whole new level."
iPad sold 1 million units in its first 28 days on sale and went on to sell 3 million in three months.
Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said earlier this week that the company expects Kinect to sell 3 million units this holiday.
Microsoft announced a new Steel Battalion game for Kinect this week, and has confirmed that both Suda51 and Dr Kawashima games are on the way for the device.
Kinect launches globally in November.

Product Description
Then there are the bad guys. With longtime nemeses the Goa'uld having essentially been eliminated, we now have the Ori, whose agenda of domination through religion provides the season's principal story arc. They're certainly a timely addition. With their "Book of Origin," rejection of free will, and goal of subduing all heretics and "unbelievers," the Ori resemble extreme fundamentalists of various stripes; on the other hand, when the U.S. military talks about crusades and "ridding the galaxy of evildoers," parallels to the Bush administration's war on terror are obvious and unavoidable. Problem is, while we know that the Ori are relentless, devious, and bloated with the pride that always attaches itself to false gods, we can't actually see them. They have semi-human apostles, called Priors, who spread "enlightenment" and bad mojo (not to mention plagues of carnivorous bugs) all over the universe. They have mighty ships that that leave the good guys in dire straits in the climactic battle that ends the season (typically, little is resolved, leaving viewers to salivate for Season 10). But the Ori themselves are kin to the all-knowing Ancients, who exist not in recognizable physical form but as energy; unlike previous villains, from the Goa'uld to the Replicators to Stargate Atlantis' Wraith, when it comes to the Ori, there's no there there. Meanwhile, the writers' replacement of the ancient Egyptian iconography used in earlier seasons with various aspects of Arthurian legend (Merlin, Knights of the Round Table, sword in the stone) is sometimes cool, sometimes merely hokey.
As always, Stargate SG-1's production values and effects remain first-rate, even as the stories become more character-driven and less dependent on spectacular action sequences. The DVD transfers are excellent. Special features are similar to previous box sets: audio commentary on all episodes, featurettes focusing on sets, props, and special effects, and five "directors series" entries devoted to particular episodes. --Sam Graham

HOW to Just include a SQL query in the post listing?
I want to filter the post listing with only posts that have "meta_key" = post_status and "meta_value" = 1, in the postmeta table.
HOW to Just include a SQL query in the post listing?
I want to filter the post listing with only posts that have "meta_key" = post_status and "meta_value" = 1, in the postmeta table.
Read up on the loop in action. Also, see this post for more info.
Well... I tried, but it doesn't work. I can use the query_posts('posts_per_page=-1'); before the loop and it works, give me all posts. But I can't make a 'sql query' to show me ONLY posts with meta_key=status with meta_value=1.
I tried this:
query_posts($query_string . '&meta_key=post_status&meta_value=1&posts_per_page=5');
Which would be really what I want, but didn't work... =(
Could you do that for me?
???? PLS, urgent!
It's simple but I just couldn't get it working, I need to filter a normal post listing with a meta_key, meta_value. =/
Well... nobody tried to help, I'm here spending my time in a simple detail that someone who knows how to manage this queried could do fast for me... anyways, I found something VERY IMPORTANT, from this topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/93438?replies=6
I'm really glad that Kafkaesqui posted the link to this plugin (Custom Home, Display only those posts on your home page with a specific custom field key (and optional value).)
The problem is... I tried to use the plugin, everything seems to work, but when I tried to access the "previous page" (url: page2), it gives me Error not found... =(
First I've seen of this thread. I was going to help but since you're being a rudeass...
hey, come on... me, "rudass" ?? Just because I said that nobody was able to help 8 hours after??
Well... I appreciate any help, including yours if you change mind.
.... Anyone? :)

Brandy Doolin?
Posted in the Mayfield Forum
#1 Mar 20, 2010
WHO IS THIS CHICK? Is she married or what? I was told that she married and divorced this same guy like 3 times and also i heard that she was homeless last summer and got in a fist fight with her mom, and she sent her mom to jail!! I think her mom works at walmart. WTF?
Since: Jul 10
#2 Jul 11, 2010
ok im her first husband. i was stupid and married her straight out of high school. her name is brandy arnett. she is still married but have been told the same guy she has been married to 3 times has left her again. she will never be homeless she will just move in with her mom or grandmother. yes she did get in a fight with her mom and yes her mother went to jail. yes her mom works at walmart in the deli. any other ????
#3 Jul 15, 2010
Haha, oh Hiya Jeff! If I remeber right you broke up with a pretty cool chick to date that psycho! But after all it WAS just highschool! And FYI everything he said was fact.
#4 Jul 15, 2010
oh yeah, and it will be VERY interesting if she catches wind of this thread, because she could never control her mouth and the crap that falls out of it!
Since: Jul 10
#5 Jul 16, 2010
i was single when i started dating her....
#6 Oct 4, 2012
Brandy is awesome. She's just havin a hard time. Its not her fault that all the guys she's had in the past are dicks. So shut yas mouths. She's a wonderful person once you get to know her. And just cause she used to do that shit doesn't mean she hasn't changed.
United States
#7 Oct 4, 2012
is her othere ex husbands name is kenny? please tell me no.
#8 Oct 4, 2012
Sure is!!!
United States
#9 Oct 4, 2012
kenny is a monster that deservs a slow painful death. why you might ask? because he was married to my sister, who had diabetes since she was little and he crushed her insulin bottles which, she could hardly afford bc his ass couldnt keep a stable job, when they faught. causing her to slowly go into a diabetic coma and eventualy pass away. oh did i mention he was asking nurses to fuck him while my sister could hear every word he said because she was two feet away from him in a coma. so little to say if me, my father or my step dad ever see his pathetic excuse for wasting air, we will personaly put him in his place. hell has no furry like a revengful little sister.
#10 Oct 5, 2012
zap, was your sister cami?? we were best friends for a really long time and I didn't know why she passed away....I knew I didn't like kenny...he wasn't good for her....if this is cami's sister, I'm soo sorry and u wouldnt remember me because you were just a baby back then.....
United States
#11 Oct 5, 2012
yes cami was my only blood sister. i have come to terms with it. but its sad to see someone as sweet and kind hearted like her to fall prey to a evil wicked guy like kenny
#12 Oct 5, 2012
Oh my I am so sorry. I have known Kenney for a while there was always something I didn't like about him! He seems off some how! He is dating someone else now he left Brandy for her. He still can't keep a job. He usues everyone.
#13 Oct 14, 2012
Yeah he left brandy for tonya turner and he's still married to brandy
United States
#14 Oct 15, 2012
What y'all know about tonya?
#15 Oct 15, 2012
Shes an ugly fat bitch with two annoying children and is leaving with a married man and i think her name is brandy why in the world would a man leave such a beautiful woman for a fat bitch he is with now she rude hateful and loves to drink with or without her children present and shes more of a man than her boyfriend is at least she can keep a job better than he can all they do is use people atleast they have that in common lol
United States
#16 Oct 15, 2012
WOW! I wish I knew who this was....I couldn't agree more lol. Both of them work and can't get their own place . They live off everyone else.
#17 Oct 16, 2012
I cant agree with u more lol
#18 Oct 16, 2012
I heard that Kenny asked tonya to marry him but he's still married to that woman brandy so how is that going to work out for him I've seen them out together at Walmart and he doesn't look happy at all with that fat bit h he looked happier with brandy at least she's prettier and has a better attitude and looks like a lady instead of a man lol anyway I think he's stupid for leaving her for that fat slob
United States
#19 Oct 16, 2012
I happen to be a friend of Tonya. A for one she is not ugly and another her kids are not annoying! You ppl need to get a life and stay out of other ppls business. If you want to know something about someone have the balls to go ask them yourself. You dont know anything anout these ppl and shouldnt make judgement on them based on what a scorned ex love or family member might have to say about then. I personally think this website is trash and should be taken down. It is just a way for ppl that have been hurt by other ppl to bash them.
United States
#21 Oct 16, 2012
Who cares about brandy or this othere girl. if they know whats good for them they would get away from kenny. the real problem here is that bastard. hes nothing but trouble and karma will give him him his one way or anothere trust that. hell hes ugly as shit and needs to see a denist every once in a while to get them jacked up horse teeth fixed. as far as his feelings getting hurt on here i dont give a flying fuck if he crys like the pussy he is. bum, slob and evil is what describes him. i accualy feel sorry for these girls and i pray these girls get out of his tangled web of lies and manipulation.

Health & Safety:
Ohio State University have their own police and there are many places on campus where there are emergency contacts.
Ohio State has some of the best athletics in the country. Check their record.
Health & Safety:
Even though OSU is in a big city, it is super safe to walk around (even at night). We are far enough from the city that we don't get many of its effects. We similar have blue safety lights and escort services to help students be safe.
In general people can find available computers but at times there are none available.
Campus Food:
As far as campus food goes, Ohio has pretty good choices as there are a variety of places where people can eat. We have three all you can eat dorms and the rest are you pay for what you buy. Some of the best things is the Starbucks on campus that people can use their meal plans for.
There is some diversity here but in general people are white, middle class, christians.
Local Area:
Columbus is a medium size city with a variety of things to offer. A big attraction is the Short North area for its wide variety of different restaurants, shops, and bars. It is a popular place for students and young professionals to relax after a long week.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many great places to eat right near campus. There are many different options. Cheap, fast food; sit-down restaurants; bars with good food.
There are campus buses and COTA buses that are able to transport students to where they want to go. Riding the COTA bus is free for students of the university.
There are many professors that are tough and classes that require the students to devote much time and effort to them. However there are many buildings on campus that provide help to students.
There are many internship opportunities for an Anthropology major and an interesting variety of jobs available. There are field school opportunities to help enhance student's knowledge in the field.
There are many fans throughout the campus and school spirit is incredibly apparent during any sporting event. There are a variety of athletic facilities provided around campus to better the health of every student.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is a large variety of off campus dining options that are pretty reasonable in price, cost, and quality. Many restaurants accept money off of the student's school ID card so they do not even have to use cash or a credit/debit card. The cost is fairly cheap but not super great. There are restaurants everywhere making it convenient to eat anytime.
It is always nice to have a personal computer for college but there are many resources students can use if they do not have one. Every library on campus has a high number of computers available to students and most have the ability of wireless printing. Printing does cost money, but only about 10 cents a page. The network reliability is normally fairly descent.
The Ohio State University is known for having a high diversity in ethnic and racial background along with political beliefs. Most students are pretty accepting of the many ethnic groups seen on campus. There are also many groups and organizations that different ethnic students can join in order to meet others that are similar to them.
I'm a Fine Arts major and many of the classes are interesting, however there are some instructor that are more interested in talking about themselves than teaching you how to do something. Also the workload can get a little crazy.
Drug Safety:
The drug scene isn't huge, if someone does drugs, it's typically pot. I feel like you see a lot of alcohol usage on campus.
Campus Quality:
All the facilities are recently renovated and great places to hang out and study. RPAC rated in the top 5 best rec centers in the nation!
Local Area:
Everyone in Columbus loves Ohio State University Students
Party Scene:
plenty of bars and house parties always close to campus
Off-Campus Dining:
there are a plethora of diverse dining options off campus
Campus Food:
There are many dining halls all over campus, which is convenient. Having a meal plan for dining is much easier than trying to just spend money because the prices for food is pretty high. Each of the dining halls have different types of foods to offer so it just depends on what you are hungry for that day.
Campus Housing:
I love The Ohio State University Campus! There is a lot of construction happening but the atmosphere is awesome! You can meet so many new people and get involved in new clubs. Living on north campus seemed to be a lot easier for me due to class locations and based on my major so my advice is that you pick a dorm based on where many of your major classes would be.
The computer labs are fairly available although sometimes crowded.
Campus Quality:
The social scene at Ohio State is second to none. Different activities for everyone.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There is a reason the Buckeye Nation is considered to be so devoted; an overwhelming love for OSU is evident in student responses, and in the loyalty of alumni to their alma mater. Each person has his or her own reasons for loving the University, and there are quite a few of them. Some students feel that the academics are top-notch and have found exactly the programs they wanted; others lean toward the athletic success of the Buckeye teams, while some just feel that the friendships and bonds they have made are enough to make their tenure at OSU worthwhile. At any rate, everyone can agree that being a Buckeye creates a special bond between you and nearly 50,000 other students, which you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
Once you get past the sheer size of the University, it will really become a second home. After only a quarter of classes, you won't be able to cross the Oval without seeing someone you know. Ohio State is truly the smallest large university you will find. The people are known for their friendly attitudes, and alumni are scattered across the nation. If you choose to go to OSU, you're choosing a school with a name that's well known, both in the workplace and in the college community. Few students ever regret their time at Ohio State, and most consider their college experience to be among the best offered in the Big Ten and the country.

Saturday night, during the Capitals' 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, future AHL hall-of-famer Keith Aucoin scored his first NHL goal of the season, and his first since October 24, 2009. For those who are counting, that's 854 days.
"It's been about two years now, I think, since I last scored a goal," Aucoin said with a smile to The Washington Times' Stephen Whyno. "It's only been 10, 11 games, but it feels like forever, and it was nice to finally get one and help the team win."
General Manager George McPhee, clearly unimpressed by his feat (or more likely saving cap space ahead of tomorrow's trade deadline), sent Aucoin back down to Hershey early this morning.
Coiner's goal was so pretty, it deserves a closer look. Let's set the scene. After going down 2-0 to the Caps within the first five minutes and then 3-0 by the second period, the Leafs were left scrambling to climb out of a hole. The play starts at 5:13, with the Caps in possession of the puck in their own zone.
Mike Green looks to exit their defensive zone by passing it to Marcus Johansson.
Mojo takes the pass along the boards.
And fumbles it!
Tim Connolly takes the turnover. Ugh.
And looks to wrist a shot past Neuvirth.
Green utilizes the kamikaze dive to force Connolly to deke.
Now Connolly fumbles the puck and it goes to the corner.
Matthew Lombardi retrieves the puck and sends a centering pass to…
Alex Ovechkin!
"Hm, looks like my boi Aucoin is guarded."
"Let's try pass to Mojo!"
Mojo shoots!
Just kidding!!
Reimer: "Omigosh, my defense isn't guarding anyone."
"Just how Dale drew it up!"
Reimer: "Kill me now." Leafs fan at bottom-left corner: "What in the hell was that?"
Aucoin: "So this is what it feels like to score an NHL goal again!"
And that concludes terrible hockey by both teams.

I'm trying to set up a link structure like the one wordpress has for archives and permalinks and I'd like some help understanding it.
I noticed when playing with my .htaccess file that it doesn't hold the rules for rewriting a URI like /2006/07/ to some archive page, it's all handled internally in index.php. How does index.php get the information about what page it should display from the URI? Is it all just looking at substrings of PHP_SELF? I saw a few instances of this in the code but haven't really figured it all out yet.

With two other regional airports serving Franklin County, members of the county's transportation commission are considering endorsing the city of St. Clair's push to close the airport there.
Transportation committee member Leroy Strubberg said the committee would hear from the city of St. Clair at its next meeting, scheduled for January, but by then it could be a dead issue.

SCI names new CEO, while the Louisiana governor appoints commissioner to the Port of New Orleans board.
The Panama Canal Authority said it is confident in the process it uses to move ships through the new locks at the canal, following an accident last week that damaged the Xin Fei Zhou after it made contact with one of the walls at the Agua Clara Locks.
Ocean carrier MSC has started investing in TRAXENS, a French start-up that produces technology for ocean container tracking.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Forget playing the blame game, the fraught implementation of container weighing rules came down to the fact that the container shipping industry has no single trusted information source.
The Port of Ningbo has partnered with CargoSmart to simplify transmission of container weight data to carriers.
Meanwhile, just this Friday, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange said its Shanghai Containerized Freight Index declined 6.2 percent from last Friday's reading of 670.29 to a reading of 628.59.

A man has been flown to Dunedin Hospital with a serious arm
injury after a mini van rolled near Clarks Junction, inland
from Outram, this morning.
The three other passengers in the 10 to 12 seater mini van
transporting clients to Middlemarch to do the Otago Rail
Trail were treated at the scene for minor injuries by St John
Ambulance, Senior Sergeant Matt Scoles said.
While the cause of the accident was still under
investigation, the road conditions in the area had been

Pregnant, Working and have a 2 year old. Survival tips needed.
On average, at 14 weeks. :/
I'm in the same boat! I have an 18mo daughter and I'm 11 weeks pregnant. Very nauseous, very tired, don't feel like myself. I have taken some prescribed stomach pills to get myself through the day, and I drink one cup of coffee some mornings, otherwise I couldn't get up at 4AM for work!!
Hang in there.
Michelle Ashley born 10/13/2011
That's exactly how I felt during the first trimester. :( It sucks so bad.
What helped me was drinking lots of water instead of coffee, and taking 15 minutes breaks two or three times a day to either close my eyes in my car or walk around the block. Walking always sounded awful but it ALWAYS gave me an energy boost.
Just hang in there. Stick it out and remember it WILL end soon. (For me, at 17 weeks.)
Oh, you poor thing. I feel your pain. I was like that with DD virtually from conception to until about 20 weeks. I survived by drinking lots of water, eating small snacks like fruit, and napping for at least a half hour during my lunch break. And then like you I would come home and go straight to bed! I seriously do not have many memories of 2009 because I slept most of it lol. I am worried about having another pregnancy and being able to keep up with my tazmanian devil of a 3 year old.
DD December 2009
DS September 2014
P&A, parents of sweet Faith {12/9/10} and our latest addition, Nathan {2/13/13}!
I'm 9 weeks and exhausted as well. I could close my eyes right now as I type this. I am also not feeling myself and was for awhile wondering if I'm hitting a depression or something. But hopefully it'll all go away in a few weeks. It did with my first one. I noticably felt better sometime after 12 weeks
