OAKLAND -- We finally have an answer.
It came during Nickel Creek's sold-out show Monday at the Fox Theater, when mandolinist extraordinaire Chris Thile decided to end all speculation and reveal exactly why the band originally parted ways back in 2007.
It wasn't due to one of the standard breakup reasons -- such as the dreaded "creative differences." It was something far more dire than that.
"It's because we ran out of instrumental titles," Thile told the capacity crowd in Oakland.
Once they were able to find some more names, Thile continued, it was time to get the band back together.
OK, so he was kidding -- I think.
The point is that Nickel Creek is back in action, after a nearly seven-year hiatus. And the reunion coincides with the band's 25th anniversary.
Fans were certainly glad to witness the return. They wholeheartedly cheered the group throughout the approximately two-hour show, embracing both old and new tunes with equal joy.
The progressive bluegrass act, which also features Sara Watkins on fiddle and brother Sean Watkins on guitar, sounded as good as ever as it raced through nearly two dozen acoustic songs. The trio's sound was fleshed out by some expert bass work by virtuoso talent Mark Schatz, who also added some dance steps and a hambone routine to the mix.
One of the things that made this reunion so special is that it was beginning to look like it might never happen. Seven years is a mighty long break, especially for an outfit that was formed by a bunch of preteens. (Sean, the band's oldest member, was just 12 when Nickel Creek started.) Plus, all of the players went on to experience success outside of the Creek -- especially Thile, who collaborated with such instrumental titans as Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer.
No wonder fans quickly snatched up all the tickets for the Fox show. The reunion ranks as one of the true music events of the year.
The Southern California group, which first came to widespread fame with its platinum-selling eponymous effort in 2000, is offering more than just nostalgia on this trek. It's also pedaling a long-awaited new album, the recently released "A Dotted Line," which is Nickel Creek's first outing since 2005's ominously titled "Why Should the Fire Die?"
The trio seemed eager to showcase the "Dotted Line" material, opening the show in solid fashion with "Rest of My Life." Three songs later, Nickel Creek offered up another new song, "Destination," and then continued to sprinkle "Dotted Line" tracks throughout the show.
The group's sound hasn't changed much over the years. It still melds pop and traditional styles into what might be best described as bubble gum bluegrass. It's not Ralph Stanley or Del McCoury, by any means. Yet, it could certainly lead listeners to those elder statesmen of the genre.
The instrumentals were the most impressive offerings of the night, mainly because they gave ample opportunity for these four players (and I'm including Schatz in that number) to shine. They are all superb instrumentalists, yet Thile is in a class by himself.
He's one of the greatest mandolinists in history, yet he doesn't attempt to prove it on every song. He shows a great deal of restraint, obviously understanding that fireworks are more effective when used only on special occasions. To use a guitarist analogy, he's more like the always tasteful Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame) than the flashy Eddie Van Halen.
Nickel Creek brought the show to a close in fine fashion, again highlighting the new album, with such tracks as "Where Is Love Now" and "Hayloft." What that tells me is that this reunion has a real chance at stretching far beyond this 25th anniversary.
The band returns to the Bay Area this summer, to perform an Aug. 4 concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Tickets are $39.50-$69.50, www.mountainwinery.com.

The worst experience any obstetrician wants to go through is admitting a pregnant woman into the hospital to deliver a dead baby. Stillborn deliveries are the ultimate dread in obstetrics and they affect twenty-six thousand women in our country each year.
While the article focuses on autopsies of stillborn babies as a means of diagnosis, we also need to seek a means of prevention. Although one-third of stillbirths occur for unknown reasons, a heightened sense of awareness of fetal movement is priceless. Live babies move. The most important question that I ask every patient during each prenatal visit is, do you feel your baby move?
After twenty-three weeks, a patient should feel her baby move at least ten times within a four-hour period and once every ninety minutes during the third trimester. If the baby does not move within these periods, than the provider should be contacted immediately. If a provider is not available, the patient should go to the hospital as fast as she can. Fetal movement is extremely critical, yet as obstetricians, we don't emphasize this point enough.
Watch, watch, watch is the key to a successful pregnancy, and there are tools that can assist along the way. A kick chart is a tool that helps monitor a baby's movement and can usually be obtained from a healthcare provider's office. This chart helps patients focus on baby's movements.
Pregnant women also need to be aware of tests such as non-stress tests and biophysical profiles that monitor the baby's heartbeat, movements and breathing on an ultrasound for approximately thirty minutes.
Fetal movement is always a beautiful thing and reassures you that your baby is alive.

Charter schools and parents
Holly Hacker had an informative piece about charter schools in the Morning News yesterday. As the piece indicates, Texas has a two-tiered set of charter schools. We have some really high-achieving ones and some really under-performing ones. For that reason, I hope the Legislature finds a way next year to close down the chronically under-performing ones while making it easier for the high-achieving ones to expand.
One other point that struck me: Some of the top charters ask their parents to sign a pact. They commit themselves to being involved with their child's education at the school.
I'd love to see the Dallas school district do the same, even if the district couldn't enforce the pledge. Just asking parents to sign a piece of paper pledging their commitment could get them to at least remember their role as mothers and fathers.
Your thoughts about getting parents to sign a pledge?

Hi. I understand why you would be upset 8.0 is kinda high, most Endo's want to see you under 6.0. You may need to change the amount of carbs you are eating and exercise. The lower your A1C is on a 3 month average is better for you, it means you are a little less likely to develop complications from diabetes...i.e. neuropathy, kidney disease and much more. You should talk to your Doctor to see if he can make any recommendations for you... Have a great weekend.
Community Moderator
My research is anything over 7 can begin to damage your organs. High sugar levels put stress on all of your organs. The American Diabetes Association has a chart that shows what sugar levels equal to the A1C numbers. Your average sugar level shouldn'g really be over 120, which is between 6 and 7. The easiest way to get your average down is to eat less more often so your levels don't spike and drop.READ MORE
Really depends on the type of diabetes you have. Diabetes is an umbrella term that describes many different varieties. But for any, to get your AC1 down, talk to your doctor and a nutritionist. Eating less isn't always the answer and isn't necessarily good advice. You should base your carbohydrate intake according to what a trained nutritionist advises. Forums like this are great for encouragement, but only take advice from certified professionals or you can get into serious health issues.READ MORE
It's not so bad to have your A1C level 8.0 but the normal A1C level should be 6.0 so its not really bad but you just have to get your sugars a little bit better.READ MORE
an AC1 test measures how high your sugars have ran over a period of time, a result of 6 or under is usually ok but higher than a 6 is not good and a doctors care is apt for immediate attention.READ MORE

Sometimes you learn the lessons of life in the most unlikely ways. I had an opportunity this week to hear from a handful of Sikeston residents who had run afoul of the law. Now these weren't hardened criminals by any means. They were just ordinary people who stumbled or their kids stumbled or a friend used them in some way that caused pain in their lives.
All of these residents were asking for a second chance in a way. They wanted someone to hear their side of the story, to understand that they were not to blame and to explain how these circumstances would not happen again. As fortunes would have it, I was the one selected to hear their stories and decide if they deserved that second chance.
And here is where that lesson of life begins.
Just like you, I complain and moan from time to time about situations in my life. My aches and pains. My concerns and frustrations. My unmet needs and wishes, etc. I assume we all lament how we wished some aspects of our lives were different.
So there I sat with three different people who made my tales of woe seem like a petty pity party. These people faced obstacles far beyond any I have ever faced. You name the social problem - abuse, drugs, poverty - they were present in virtually every case. They each started life with nothing and will most likely end life that same way. They say they have tried to improve their positions in life. I'll take them at their word though I wouldn't bet my life on it.
One woman was raising three young children plus a grandchild. Their annual family income was barely enough to feed the family. Their choices were not just limited - they were non-existent.
The second gentleman was a chronic alcoholic. He battled health issues related to his drinking problem. He relied on others for the basics of life. And he knew his life would never change for the better.
And finally, the young woman betrayed by a friend. Facing eviction with two small children, she had no place to turn. Even armed with a fistful of resumes, the job prospects were limited.
The stories were all sincere, all true and all sad. And had I the time, I could have interviewed a hundred more in the very same circumstances. Actually, the number could have run into the thousands given enough time.
Now that lesson of life is easy to understand. No matter how dismal things may seem, the truth is that someone else has it so much worse than you. It's a lesson I have been taught all of my life. But sometimes when it smacks you in the face, it hits real close to home.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Yet hidden deep inside the eyes of these people was the realization that even that second chance will not be enough to change their circumstances. They did not speak those words but their eyes said it all.

President acknowledges 'distress' of peopleFriday 26 November 2010 21.28
President Mary McAleese has said that she understands the distress being experienced by people across the country due to the economy.
Speaking at the Irish Book Awards in Dublin last night, she said that everyone has a role in resolving our problems.
President McAleese said there needs to be candour, accountability and debate to ensure the failures of the past are not repeated.
But she said she hopes that despite the anger, people will constructively support one another through this torrid time to renew confidence, economic growth, prosperity, and celebration.
The President said that throughout history the Irish people had been tested but have proven to be extra resilient. She said we now need to draw on that resilience more than ever.
Mrs McAleese said the quicker we stabilise our finances, the quicker we return to growth and the sooner we will be able to relieve the distress that is being experienced.
Irish people, she said, will rise up to meet this challenge, will face it down, and in a time much shorter than we dare to imagine right now, she said we will be able to say it was difficult but Ireland got through it.

Norwich 0-0 West Ham
Updated: Saturday, 15 Sep 2012 15:01 | Comments
Norwich were still searching for their first Barclays Premier League win after West Ham battled to a goalless draw at Carrow Road.
Chris Hughton's men enjoyed the better of the first half, and felt they should have been awarded a penalty when James Collins upended Andrew Surman, but referee Chris Foy correctly ruled the challenge was just outside the area.
West Ham also had their chances, with Carlton Cole's early chance blocked and John Ruddy saving from Kevin Nolan. Both sides, though, seemed to run out of ideas as the match wore on.

Salpinctes obsoletus is a very plain name for a bundle of fire known as the rock wren. It is heard, up on the bluffs, up in the rocks, but it is seen only by those who climb the bluffs regularly, and then it is seen only irregularly. . . . After reading even the most elementary writings of the rock wren I am shocked at society's ignorance of this bird. Janovy 1978: 45, 49.
Rock, song, mystery: essence of Rock Wren.
Rock. The Rock Wren is well named. Most descriptions of Rock Wren habitat mention "rock" for this pale wren of arid, western North America. Still, these wrens are also found in nonrocky habitats, as long as there exist areas "rich in crevices, interstices, passageways, recesses, and nooks and crannies of diverse shapes and sizes" (Ryser 1985: 410).
Song. These wrens are more easily heard than seen. Rock Wren songs are unmistakable, but beauty lies in the ears of the listener. According to Florence M. Bailey (1904a: 444; see also Bent 1948: 290), the Rock Wren's song ". . . at first hearing seems the drollest, most unbird-like of machine-made tinklings," but William L. Dawson (1923: 685; see also Bent 1948: 290) considered this wren's songs to be "the sprightliest, most musical, and resonant to be heard in the entire West." Even to Mrs. Bailey, however, this wren redeems itself, as the song " . . . comes to be greeted as the voice of a friend on the desert, and its quality to seem in harmony with the hard, gritty granites among which he lives" (Bailey 1904a: 444). Males are truly remarkable singers and can have large song repertoires of 100 or more song types, many of which seem to be learned from neighbors (Kroodsma 1975).
Mystery. Rock Wrens have been little studied and most information about the biology of this species is anecdotal. One curious aspect of this wren's biology has received much notice but virtually no study: Rock Wrens usually build a pavement or walkway of small, flat stones or pebbles that leads to the nest cavity. The nest is usually located in a rock crevice, occasionally far out of sight, but the pavement may give an external sign of the nest's location. The function of this pavement is open to speculation.
Published information on this species is meager. Recent published work includes Merola's (1995) observations of 6 color-marked nesting pairs in New Mexico. Wolf et al. (1985) recorded detailed observations for 1 day at 1 nest in California.
Lowther, Peter E., Donald E. Kroodsma and Greg H. Farley. 2000. Rock Wren (Salpinctes obsoletus), The Birds of North America Online (A. Poole, Ed.). Ithaca: Cornell Lab of Ornithology; Retrieved from the Birds of North America Online: http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/486

13 March 2013
The Human Rights Committee this afternoon held a discussion on working methods on a proposal to request additional resources and on the agenda for its retreat to The Hague in April 2013.Introducing the discussion, Nigel Rodley, Chairperson of the Human Rights Committee, recalled the proposal put forward by the Bureau to discuss a request to the General Assembly for additional resources. In order to do so, the Committee should request an assessment of cost implications in order to submit a formal request with the adoption of its final report. The Chairperson recalled that the Committee had solicited additional resources for its Petitions Unit last year so that more drafts could be prepared in time for consideration. During the discussion, Committee Experts highlighted the need for additional resources for the Secretariat and increased meeting time for the Committee in order to address the backlog in the consideration of reports. For the first time, during this session, the Committee was considering six country reports instead of five and this had made the agenda very tight. An additional week would help keep up with work on country reports, but Experts attending the working group on communications would then have a five-week session. The Secretariat suggested converting a working group week into a plenary week, leaving 2.5 days for dealing with country reports. Nevertheless, the Secretariat would also require additional resources to keep up with the work of the Committee and the provision of drafts for consideration. For example, while it would be possible to deal with 30 cases per week, currently only 20 or 21 cases were provided. Committee Experts expressed concern about the growing backlog of reports and agreed that the Committee should further discuss different ways of addressing the growing backlog, given the current financial situation. The Secretariat said that while it was up to date with communications, it faced problems getting drafts ready. There were about 160 cases which could be considered if sufficient resources to prepare the drafts were made available. Given the building backlogs affecting the consideration of State reports and individual cases, the Committee was at risk of losing credibility and becoming irrelevant. Some Experts argued that clearing the backlog in communications should be a priority. Among others, Experts suggested focusing on communications rather than on the consideration of States' reports and employing the United Nations' working languages rather than the five official languages in order to save resources. Additional proposals included reducing the work on general comments and holding additional meetings during lunch time, such as those currently held with NGOs, for Committee Experts to engage with Member States. Summarising the discussion, the Chairperson noted that if the Committee did not re-submit a request for additional resources, it would be understood that these were not really needed; and recalled that in order to be able to make such a request, cost implications should be assessed. The Chairperson urged the Committee to decide to request additional resources and meeting time, in accordance to the need to deal with the backlog of reports. The Committee should also continue to discuss additional measures to save resources. Several constructive suggestions had been put forward and additional time should be dedicated to this discussion. Individual communications were extremely important and, given its potential impact on the ground, the Committee's timely response was crucial. The Committee decided to request an evaluation of cost implications in order to be able to formally submit a request for additional resources with the adoption of its final report.Concerning the draft agenda for the retreat to The Hague in April 2013, the Chairperson noted that a draft had been circulated and, among other items, included the relationship between the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other treaty bodies; the discussion of a paper on remedies prepared by Fabian Omar Salvioli; a template for a new format for individual communications; consideration of the High Commissioner's report on strengthening the treaty bodies; and a review of the Addis Guidelines and the role of the meeting of States parties. Given time constraints, the Chairperson asked Experts to submit any recommendations to the Bureau and a revised proposal would then be circulated next week. The Committee will next meet in public on Thursday, 14 March at 10 a.m. to consider the initial report of Angola (CCPR/C/AGO/1). __________

The guys down at IBuyPower Australia can't get rid of me these days. I'm surprised they haven't started asking me to pay rent. The other day the ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution board arrived, and this thing just absolutely won me over as far as looks and features went.
However, the feature that we really care about today is the fact it has four PCI Express x16 slots. While ASUS use a x16/x16/x4/x4 configuration, it's really one of the best on the market. So, with four HD 4850s in hand and hopefully a driver that was going to work, it was time to take four of these single slot bad boys to town.
Before we get stuck into the results, let's have a quick look at the photos and just how cool four graphics cards in your system looks. From there we will get stuck into our benchmark results and see what's going on with CrossfireX in the new 4800 series cards from AMD.

North Korea's Nuclear Test Site Google Maps via Washington PostRight next to the helpfully-named "Nuclear Test Rd." North Korea tested a nuclear weapon late Tuesday for the third time ever, and this is where it happened. After the test, a slight tremor rolled through North Korea's mountains, and the U.S. Geological Survey picked it up, along with its exact location. The Washington Post went ahead and used those coordinates to map it with Google's new data on the country. Some parts of this aren't all that surprising. The location is where North Korea conducted its last two tests--one in 2006

Missouri Forget-Me-Not
Missouri Forget-Me-Not is a 501c3 organization.
All donations are tax deductible!
News & Events
We have several horses that are available for adoption at any given time and continue to get calls daily about horses and owners needing help. Without support from concerned citizens and our community's support we could not continue to help horses that come to us in distress. We have no paid employees, we are an all-volunteer rescue and sanctuary. All funds donated are tax deductable and 100% of donations and proceeds from our fundraisers go directly to feed and care for the horses in residence here. Your concern and support is imperative as we strive to help those horses that have been 'thrown away' or in need of rehoming.
We invite you to come visit our facility, we love visitors and enjoy introducing the horses in residence here. Thank you for visiting our website….hope you find it informative, but if you do have further questions, please contact us at any time either by e-mail, letter or phone.
Our Motto: To make a difference – one horse at a time
Connie Hendrix, President
Our mission is to provide aid and sanctuary to abused, neglected, abandoned or donated horses that come to us in need. Work with law enforcement and other agencies in their efforts to rectify situations in which horses are in peril. Provide horses in our Sanctuary with needed medical care, proper nutrition and a health plan to restore them physically and mentally for a new life. Continue educational and fundraising efforts to both help us support our rescue efforts and to promote awareness of issues involving neglect and abuse in our area.
During their rehabilitation, horses will learn to begin
to trust once again by living in a sanctuary free of fear,
hunger and human caused pain. Once rehabilitated, we will
strive to find them a special home with people who will give them a new
life where they will thrive with loving care and can live their
life with dignity. We believe that by providing a network of
support and basic equine educational resources for humans, we
can avoid the unnecessary suffering and unfortunate fate that
many horses endure. We want to do more than care for the horses who are
suffering... we want to find a way to break the cycle of abuse
and neglect! Together, we will make a difference in the
life of a horse!
Shop at Amazon Smile and Amazon will make a donation to Missouri Forget Me Not.
It takes all of us working together as a community to make a difference. During these difficult times, people can struggle financially to meet the needs of their horses. Horses must have grass or quality hay and clean fresh water at all times. Horses who do not have adequate water can colic and/or become dehydrated and die in the warmer weather.
Consider donating a bale of hay to a neighbor's horse in need or donate hay or money to the sanctuary to help us make it through the winter. A large round bale is around $50, but anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated! We feed roughly 8 large round bales of hay per week.
Together we will make a difference in the life of a horse!
Adopting a Horse...
You CAN make a Difference:
Adopting a horse is an act of selfless love. It's not always a sound "business decision", but it is one of the best things you will ever do! "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." ~Winston Churchill Words to live by! We believe that rescue horses are special. Many have endured untold circumstances, but their ability to forgive and move forward is miraculous. As with any relationship, it may take time to address past issues and earn that respect and trust but once that relationship is forged, it is a special unbreakable bond that will last a lifetime.
Click on the Adopt-A-Horse link for more information about the Adoption Process!
Many times, people buy a horse with visions of riding into the sunset. More often than not, that dream is never realized and the horse is blamed, abandoned, thrown away.
Horses think and feel and react to situations very differently than humans. Horses are prey animals, so by their very nature, violence does not work to train or discipline them. Horses respond to leadership. One of the very best things we can recommend (and can never get enough of) is to watch a herd of horses in the pasture, or even documentaries about wild horses. Watch how the "boss" horses interact with the herd. It's amazing how just a look or pinning their ears speaks volumes to the herd. The other horse immediately snaps to attention... "YES MAM!"
As horse lovers, it is our responsibility to learn the language of the horse. Watch herd dynamics and find ways to use that information to become good fair but firm leaders with our horse. Learn good horse leadership skills from reputable natural horsemen. Go to the internet and books resource page for some suggestions. In order to fulfill your dream of finding that special relationship with a horse, you must first learn how to be a leader. In any horse/human relationship, there WILL be a leader. If the human doesn't step up to fill that role, the horse will. NOTE: Unexpected and often undesired results will occur when the horse is the leader... :-)
At FMNHR, we have to believe that we can do more than just care for those horses who are suffering. Our goal is to provide a network of like-minded horse lovers, to help educate and prevent the suffering
Our goal is to provide a safe and secure environment where horses can heal emotionally and physically. Where they can transition to the next phase of their life – as a permanent resident here or in a pre-approved forever home.
To provide a forever home to elderly or handicapped horses where they can live and die with dignity.
Work to educate the community about proper care of horses and work with them to provide this care.
To continue helping as many as we can – as space and funds allow - and to work every hour of every day, 7 days a week to making a difference in the life of the horses that come to us in need.

Uglies Chapter 47 Summary
Night Alone
- The runaways meet back up at a cave, except for Maddy and David, who are spending a night by themselves in the Rusty Ruins.
- They all survive thanks to some help by the city uglies, who are playing tricks and riding their hoverboards.
- The next morning, Tally wakes up to Shay being a whiny pretty. But since she's so pretty, all of her old friends are a little in awe of her and try to make her happy: "One thing about being pretty, people put up with your annoying habits" (39).
- Then they meet up with David and Maddy.
- And Maddy has news about the pretty surgery: since they grabbed some of Dr. Cable's notes, she thinks she can find a cure.
- So they can cure Shay and she can start hating Tally again. Yay?

The Big Sleep
by Raymond Chandler
The Big Sleep Wealth Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I was everything a well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars. (1.1)
From the very first paragraph of The Big Sleep, we know that money is going to play a huge role. Even though we don't know much about Marlowe yet, we know that he's a hard man to budge. And yet money influences his actions here, changing the way he would normally dress.
Quote #2
"It may cost you a little money, besides what you pay me. And of course it won't get you anything. Sugaring them never does. You're already listed on their book of nice names." (2.63)
Marlowe explains to the General that it's possible to get Geiger off his back, but that it may cost some dough. Yep, that sounds about right. In the gritty world of 1930s L.A., money will get you pretty far. In fact, it seems like the only thing that will get you anywhere.
Quote #3
On this lower level faint and far off I could just barely see some of the old wooden derricks of the oilfield from which the Sternwoods had made their money. (3.42)
The oilfields represent the corrupting power of money. Did the Sternwoods have to get their hands dirty to get so wealthy? Is it possible to acquire that much money honestly?

If your dog does not have a bowel movement on the 5th day of being home, a stool softener such as metamucil can be fed with the ok from your veterinarian. Be sure to check with your veterinarian before giving your dog any over the counter constipation products, as they may interact with medications they are currently taking for pain or to fight infection. The typical dose of metamucil is 1 tsp per 25 kg mixed in with each meal (this will need to be canned dog food or a "wet" meal); feed immediately after mixing, as the metamucil will gel the food and may make it less palatable.
If you have any concerns with the regularity of your dog following cranial cruciate repair surgery contact your veterinarian before any self remedy.

Chapter 3 - Lovers Ridge
The Heart is the Loneliest Dude Ranch
Excerpt from Chapter Four - Cow or Never
Dexter McChest slipped the birthing chains from the calf's body, his arm muscles rippling with gentle power. As gentle as two pistons powered by bunnies. The way he gentled those chains from the gentle calf made him seem so gentlemanly. But oh, how ungentle it was to be in love with the gentlest gent in all of Gentrified County.
But for now, it was all perfect. She and Dexter had just shared the world's closest thing to sex. Which was birth. Which was actually a post sex thing. So if things progressed as well in reverse they would be at sex in no time. Right after hospitals and wanting to eat rope or dirtclods. She had never envied the state of a cow before. But she coveted the sweet genetic bonds that bovine had to this furry, slimy angel in her arms.
Dexter finished winching and put his boot up on the bumper and lit up an electronic cigarette. He was trying to quit.
"How's your baby, Mama?" said Dexter wryly. Dexter always said things with adverbs.
Vanessa smiled and patted her calf's calf. "Dexter Aston McChest, how can you not want to have a baby when you're covered in the miracle of life?"
His face clouded. Like a sky that suddenly had clouds.
"Oh no," she thought. "I've gone too far."
"Babies and me are complicated, Vanessa. Russian novel complicated." Dexter said, the light of his fake cigarette punctuating his sentence.
But how could she be with a man, no matter how perfect, if he didn't want to have children? Her womb would howl like a babyless canyon full of the winds of barren want. Look how happy the cow was. Her mouth covered in the happy foam of birth exertions. Passed out with the pure joy of almost splitting open from new life. Didn't she want that for herself?
Dexter looked off into the distance. Straight into the afternoon sun. Because even his eyes were strong.
"Vanessa, it may come as a surprise to you but I had a child."
Vanessa gasped. Dexter sighed. All around them the air got denser as the plot thickened.
"I lost him and his mother in a helicopter crash. This was back when I was a Scottish prince. He wasn't even mine. She was a Brazilian heiress who was impregnated by the leader of the Cocoa Mafia. I'd met her at a fashion ball, wearing a maternity gown by Versacci. She needed to run away. I had a castle."
Dexter paused. Breathed out some nicotine substitute. His eyes furiously squinted at the sun like he was willing it to retreat. It did.
"Somewhere along the way, we fell in love. I promised to take care of her child. We were going to name him Bilbo. We both loved J. R. R. I thought we had escaped, I thought I had taken all precautions but the Mafia Caocao found us. A surface-to-air missile put a hole in our copter. And a hole in my heart."
Dexter shed one manly tear. It was made of motor oil.

We at AMT Consulting and Tax Services provided financial statement preparation for the HOA's that Platinum Community Management (owned and managed by Lisa Kim) was managing. We were informed by Lisa at the end of March 2013 she would be closing her business. We billed for the final 3 months of work, and sent invoices. After a month of waiting, we asked Lisa about the payment on the invoices. She gave us the run around saying that she had already sent payment through online banking. We still haven't received payment on any of the invoices. On the last email that we sent to Lisa, asking about payment, she said she was in the process of moving and would check on the payments the following Monday. That never happened. It is well known that Lisa Kim is a felon from Las Vegas who was involved in one of the biggest HOA fraud schemes. If she ever pops up again in the HOA community management world, stay clear of this person, because she won't pay her bills, and she's a criminal.

This is a very handy potholder to have in your kitchen as it is thick and well insulated. It is easy to use and does not have the long handles of some potholders that can be dangerous.
It also acts a good insulation pad on the bench when used for taking hot dishes from the stove or from the oven.
It is quick and easy to knit and can be made in any colour combination and is a great way of using up oddments of yarn.
Makes a great gift!

Despite less-than-remarkable production from his Thompson seedless vines this year, Monte Schutz, Caruthers, Calif., has been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the raisins he has made from them.
And a raisin price this year that is one of the highest on record has only added to his pleasure.
"The change in quality of the raisins was a big shock," he says. "It improved drastically from what I had expected, based on the low sugar levels of the grapes just before we began cutting canes in August."
The third generation of his family to produce raisins, Schutz began his second term as president of the Raisin Bargaining Association earlier this year, and also serves as vice chairman of the Raisin Administrative Committee.
He harvests about three-fourths of his grapes mechanically, and started cutting canes Aug. 23. That compares to some years, when he's started as much as eight days earlier.
Hand picking of the rest of his vineyards, which don't lend themselves to machine harvesting, began the first week of September, also a week or so later than normal. But, he had all raisins in bins by Oct. 4, which is about the time he normally finishes. A late September heat wave, with temperatures as high as 100 degrees, probably helped shorten the drying time, he speculates.
Still, he would have preferred to produce more raisins than he did. "I won't know until we go across the scales," he says. "But, going by the bin count, our yields were a little lighter than last year. I think production was down for most growers this year."
That includes at least three, but not all, of his neighbors. "One had a good size crop, bigger than last year," says Schutz. "That's kind of frustrating to me — you always seem to want more production, especially with the high raisin price this year."
Growers will be paid $1,500 a ton for 100 percent delivery of raisins this year, one of the highest prices ever. Also, it's the first time since 2004 when there has been no reserve pool. Last year growers received $1,323 per ton on 85 percent of the raisins they delivered to packers.
The strong price and elimination of free tonnage reflects smaller worldwide supplies of raisins this year, including those produced in the Middle East and South America. Meanwhile, production of California raisins is still in decline as some growers, disappointed by previous raisin prices, continue to pull out vines to make room for other crops. The 2010 price is welcome news to the industry, which hopes it will encourage more growers to keep their vines.
"Finally, because of record sales of raisins the last few years and our aggressive export program, we have supply and demand in more balance," Schutz says. "Depending on sales and crop sizes, an export program may be needed again in the future."

Sounds like your Savannah is a little bit traumatised by her sudden entrance into the world. Swaddle her to help her sleep, helps to stop the startle reflex. If she doesn't settle at all try cranial osteopathy I used it with my first one after forceps. Have considered it for this one, but so far with swaddling and fairly regimented feeding I don't seem to have too bad nights. The only day I wasn't religiously feeding every 3 hours during the day I had a terrible night. But last nigth got back into swing of things and she went 4 hours between feeds. Helped me to catch up a bit as I was cream crackered. If I have another good night might send my mum home!

We have been doing well since that disaster of a first night! I think it was just the fact that she was in a new place and was trying to settle in. She really is such a good girl. During the night she will go nearly the full 4 hours, I normally have to wake her to feed her though as she won't wake herself. I don't think she knows that she's hungry to wake herself up.
Also during the day I mostly have to wake her every 3 hours if she doesn't wake herself so she can get the feeds in. We sometimes have a bit of trouble attaching, but I think we're getting better at it now. I just have to keep prodding her to wake her up so she'll drink more!
I was a little worried as the midwife came the day before yesterday and she had only put on 10 grams since leaving hospital, but at that stage I didn't know to wake her to feed her and so now I know that we're getting more milk into her so hopefully today's weigh in will go better!!
The hospital should tell new mothers that their babies shouldn't go longer than 3 hours during the day and 4 at night! If I had known that then I don't think I would have had this problem in the first place! Am I meant to be a mind reader? lol. Anyway, now I do know and so we are going to be doing better I think!

Congrats Cheryl! Hope everything is going smoothly for you!
Wish I could burp Savannah... sometimes she will but other times she'll be so fast asleep from feeding that she won't burp which leads to stomach aches which are no fun with her screaming. But I know things will settle in time. I wish it would happen sooner though rather than later!

We have been having that problem too. I've had only one good night in last 10 days. Although she is finally taking a bit more at each feed and she has had her first osteopath appointment (apparently considering her dramatic entrance her head is not too bad but her ribs and diapragm are all out of line so that probably explains the horrendous hiccups). I am really pleased that she now weighs 6lb 13oz.
The other 2 have to be restrained to stop them mauling her too much, and have had a real break through with my step daughter to be. She wanted to come and see me on mothers day to wish me happy mothers day! Got to love her, especially as when she went back to her mum she was full of it.
Still majorly stressed, as OH has still not managed to get a job, if that doesn't happen we will not be able to extend his house and that will put our plans to move in together in August on hold and the wedding. He is really down and I am tired so its not makng for the best of relationships at the moment but I am trying to boost him up as best I can. We will get through this we have got through far worse!

ive not been doing to well, the little one has acid reflux so shes in great discomfort and spits up her food, she is putting on weight though so that is a relief but hate seeing her in pain and there isnt anything i can really do. She feeds little and often no longer than 10 mins on a occasion its been 15, she wakes up every 2 hours through the night and fights her sleep in the day so I have a very overtired baby. I hate seeing her fight her sleep, never seen anything like it. Anyone got any tips. Ive been to the doctor and they have given me baby gaviscon it helps with the spitting up.

I know, 2 weeks til my little one's first birthday. And considering how small she was at birth she has more than made up for it 26lbs at last weigh! Cruising the furniture, but not sure about letting go. Chatty, mum, dad, hiya and brummmmm when she sees a car, or is pushing anything along the floor. I just really wish she would sleep all night and that I had not been so poorly that I don't really appreciate these milestones as I know this is the last one. Still not married, OH only been working for a few weeks and going back into the army very shortly (but then we have to get married to get housed) and considering all the bad times we have been through its a wonder we have managed to withstand it, but somehow we have.

How to Recycle Properly
Understanding how to recycle appropriately is an essential skill that everybody ought to learn. Things that are incorrectly thrown away in recycling containers could contaminate other things in the container. You will find more to recycling than just throwing your cans or bottles into a container. Particularly where dangerous substances or electronic devices are involved, right recycling might call for research and considerable effort. Following a green lifestyle is now a top-most concern for numerous people, but to truly adopt green living you need to know how to recycle properly.
Frequently recycled things involve paper, plastic material, aluminum and glass. Determined by your legislation, you may use individual containers for every kind of item or dispose of everything in one recycling bin. Wash out items to get rid of remains from food or additional organic matter. Take out caps from plastic containers and isolate them in the recycling container. Neon lamps, which include small neon bulbs, have mercury that is highly poisonous. A lot of states and the authorities have specific polices set up for the disposal of objects that contain mercury.
In a lot of jurisdictions, natural oils, paints and some other dangerous household waste can't be thrown away with normal refuse. Some cities offer dangerous waste recycling services. Take waste oil to lube shops and service stations and. For waste paint as well as empty paint containers, browse the internet for paint recycling.
The majority of household batteries can be thrown away with common trash. Lithium, Nickel-cadmium, and sealed acid ones can be recycled in specified recycling facilities. Give back hybrid car batteries to a nearby car parts shop for store credit. They might offer money for hybrid car batteries. Get in touch with your community AAA office for details regarding the yearly Great Battery Gather, when stations country wide gather all kinds of batteries for the purpose of recycling.
A lot of computer producers will take back unwanted computers for clients who buy more recent models. Check out if and exactly where an electronic waste recycling service exports thrown away things, and how files destruction is taken care of to avoid potential identity theft or unlawful export. Carry out an Internet lookup to locate a reliable electronic -waste recycling service in your community.
On the list of surprising things that can be recycled are several of standard household things that are frequently wrongly recognized for being recyclable. For instance, pizza boxes ought not to be recycled due to the grease in them. Damp paper, as outlined by Keen For Green, is actually on this list too since as soon as paper becomes damp its quality is ruined. Plastic bottle caps tend to be challenging. They are more difficult to melt down for recycling compared to the bottles due to their unique chemical structure. This can make it more difficult for some cities to gather them and have the funds to find a firm to recycle them at an affordable price.
Is a Green Home Right for You?
When considering purchasing a new home, you can find a lot that ought to be taken into account. One significant thing that tends to get disregarded is if the house is energy efficient, or eco-friendly. We ought to be considering this for the health of our environment, and we [...] Continue Reading…
Why Is Green Living Important?
The idea of green living is quickly gaining recognition around the globe. Although a lot of companies and individuals have implemented an environmentally friendly lifestyle, there are countless others for whom this idea stays an unfamiliar thing. Nevertheless, it must be said that ecological awareness is growing among people [...] Continue Reading…

The olives look tasty but that's it. The cheese is very dry and tasteless. In fact, I bought the feta stuffed ones as well and we can't tell which is which. Definitely NOT worth $5 a jar.
