Can Sharing Warranty Costs Lead to Better Products?
The slew of product-safety recalls in recent years has put consumers and manufacturers on high alert. In 2010 alone, the Food and Drug Administration issued more than 235 recalls for food products contaminated by bacteria or allergens, including the largest recall of table eggs in US history after a salmonella e. outbreak infected at least 1,900 people. At least 81 deaths were linked to contaminated heparin in 2007, a blood-thinning drug manufactured in China by the Baxter Healthcare Corporation. That same year, toymaker Mattel issued a massive recall of more than 10 million Chinese-made toys, including popular Barbie and Fisher-Price items that contained lead paint and tiny magnets.
In an international manufacturing process incorporating a global supply chain with many different players, tracing a potentially dangerous problem back to its source can be exceptionally challenging. This is especially true because even a single part can have multiple suppliers. While many companies have implemented tracking systems to identify the supply-side source of quality breakdowns, tracing a problem to its source is not only impossible for some products, but not always the best way to maximize product quality or profit, according to Professor Fangruo Chen.
"Manufacturers cannot police where the raw materials come from," Chen says. "Often, companies will relax their standards and source from unconventional channels, which opens the process up to problems."
Working with Lijian Lu and Hanqin Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chen first examined the value of installing a tracking system to trace a quality problem back to its source. This led to larger questions: How can manufacturers incentivize suppliers to invest in quality improvement? When quality problems arise that incur warranty costs, who pays for the mistakes? Who takes responsibility for product improvements to address previous failures?
Chen and his co-researchers found their answers by looking at how warranty costs are shared among suppliers and manufacturers. Currently, many manufacturers choose to use a target-sharing system, where tracing is used to track which supplier created each component. One of the best examples of this system is the building of a car, where different suppliers often make individual parts.
Common practice is for the manufacturer to shoulder 85 percent of warranty costs for a defect, with the at-fault supplier responsible for 15 percent. A bar code or other mechanism is placed on physical components to track the parts so that quality issues can be traced back to the supplier at fault, who then pays its share of the warranty costs as dictated in the agreement with the manufacturer. If a supplier creates a faulty brake pad, for example, that supplier pays for 15 percent of the warranty costs for that defect.
Another way of allocating warranty costs is equal sharing, in which the manufacturer agrees to pay a percentage of the warranty costs while the remainder is divided evenly among all suppliers for a product. In this system, tracing is not necessary, because the manufacturer and all suppliers split the costs of fixing a problem without assigning blame to any single supplier.
In practice, target sharing is the more common method of distributing warranty costs, Chen says. But by creating a theoretical model that compared the quality-improvement outcomes of target sharing with those of equal sharing, Chen and his colleagues came to a surprising conclusion: sometimes equal sharing not only improved quality by increasing competition among all suppliers, but increased profits for all parties on the supply chain since fewer warranty-related costs were incurred.
"That's counterintuitive," Chen says. "But we found that under equal sharing, suppliers have a greater incentive to improve quality than under target sharing because every supplier is held accountable for other suppliers' mistakes. The only way for a single supplier to reduce its own warranty costs is to grab market share from the other lower-quality suppliers by increasing the quality of its own products."
Chen suggests that equal sharing could be particularly helpful in identifying problems with the food supply in which tracing is difficult, with potential to prevent events such as the recent outbreak of the deadly E. coli bacteria in Europe, where officials originally attributed the outbreak to cucumbers, then sprouts. While Chen is conducting more research on incentivizing food suppliers to improve quality, the current findings already point toward a path to safer, higher-quality products for manufacturers that use multiple suppliers in all industries.
"To get suppliers to improve quality, you have to give all suppliers incentives to reduce mistakes. Equal sharing does this by placing responsibility on all suppliers," Chen notes. "That creates healthy tension that in the end will move all parties to produce a higher quality product."

Post subject: height/weight centiles
My 14 week old daughter is apparently in the 9th centile for weight, so very light for her age but in the 75th centile for height, so apparently quite tall. Is it normal for their height/weight to be so far apart in %? And has anyone else found the height centiles to be 'out', because my daughter is still in 0-3, so I'm confused as to how she can be 'tall' for her age??

My daughter was on the 9th centile for weight and the 50th for height, but i found the tiny baby stuff was too small for her even though weight wise she was right!
she is now on 50th for both, yet still only in 2-3 trousers, but 3-4 tops!

I think they will all average out over time, especially when they have sudden growth 'spurts' which will affect their lengths.
Both my girls have big heads - evie was 50th perc for everything except her head being 92nd, (although has now dropped to be 9th for everything) and Poppy is 9th perc for everything apart from her head at 50th

Thanks - is nice to know that others have found this - my HV was really unhelpful and dismissive about it. She measured her last wednesday and said she was 57cm which is impossible because she was measured by the pediatrician on the 7 of december and found to be 56.8cm - since then she has outgrown her up to 1 month sleepsuits and other bits! I've measured her a few times lol and it varied from 59cm-61cm! So I've stopped!

Citizen Space mugs have arrived!
Posted on 06. Jul, 2007 by Chris Messina in blog, Local News
Thanks to the good folks at Right Sleeve, we've received our order of sweet mugs (inspired by Wishingline's original mugs).
The mug design process was captured, where else, but on Flickr?
For now, Citizen Space tenants will be the first recipients of mugs — and a number will replace our janky IKEA mugs that had been serving us in the conversation room. The rest well… would be perfect additions to coworking spaces around the world!
2 Responses to "Citizen Space mugs have arrived!"
oo! me please, we're about to open a VERY plush coworkign space in leeds (UK)…with some early advice from tara and i'd love to have a promotional mug…btw, we'll have some photos of 'met:space' up in a couple days time
Update – here're the photos … http://www.flickr.com/photos/imran/sets/72157600729423009/

AbstractIt is now understood that protein ubiquitination has diverse cellular functions in eukaryotes. The molecular mechanism and physiological significance of ubiquitin-mediated processes have been extensively studied in yeast, Drosophila and mammalian somatic cells. Moreover, an increasing number of studies have emphasized the importance of ubiquitination in spermatogenesis and fertilization. The dysfunction of various ubiquitin systems results in impaired sperm development with abnormal organelle morphology and function, which in turn is highly associated with male infertility. This review will focus on the emerging roles of ubiquitination in biogenesis, function and stability of sperm organelles in mammals.

Birthday flowers for Matilda, who turned thirteen yesterday (I can't quite believe we have a teenager in the house): roses Gertrude Jekyll and William Lobb on one side,
Gertrude again, alongside Ferdinand Pichard, on the other, and none of them smelling as lovely as they should because of the damn weather.
A birthday cake, the usual, Nigella's buttermilk number filled with a layer of strawberry jam, a layer of sliced strawberries and then lots of whipped cream, and more cream and strawberries on top. It began as a tasteful, slightly Jubilee-inspired affair, and then…
And sticking with the Jubilee theme, I made Coronation Chicken using the original Rosemary Hume recipe via Rose Prince, from her lovely book Kitchenella (stuffed with great recipes – I highly recommend it). If you are interested, you can find the original recipe here, but I think Rose Prince's version is more straightforward. And I simplified things further by poaching chicken breasts and thighs rather than roasting several chickens as I knew time was against me.

BlackRock Bulks Up Global Capital Markets Team in Asia
Global asset manager BlackRock has hired former Morgan Stanley banker Scott Greenberg to lead its new global capital markets division for Asia Pacific.
Mr. Greenberg started in his new role this week, BlackRock said in statement Thursday.
BlackRock already has global capital markets teams in New York and London. The Asian-Pacific team will be responsible for developing investments in both equity and debt, including convertible debt and pre-initial public offering investments. It will also be involved in event-driven investment opportunities such as bridge financing or special situation financing.
Mr. Greenberg previously served as Morgan Stanley's chief operating officer for equity financing products in New York, and had been based in Hong Kong as the bank's head of equity syndicate.
He will report to Steve Sterling, head of global capital markets, and Marc Desmidt, regional head of alpha strategies.
BlackRock has been building up its own capital markets capabilities in the last few years to compete against investment banks. In an open letter in 2011, two senior executives at BlackRock in the U.K. were sharply critical of the way investment banks handled IPO processes, and said the relationship between fund managers and bankers during an IPO process was too brief. Hiring its own capital markets bankers would give BlackRock better access to equity and debt sales, for example.

Charlie Hebdo publisher, "Charb"
Once again, the French satiric journal Charlie Hebdo has outraged the Muslim Ummah by publishing cartoons parodying, the film, The Innocence of Muslims. Charlie Hebdo publishing these cartoons has raised the ante about the lack of humor, let along Free Speech in the Muslim Ummah. The French Foreign Ministry has closed 20 embassies in the wake of the Charlie Herbo cartoons threatened by angered Muslim fundamentalists. Nevertheless, the French government is defending the right of Charlie Hebdo to publish the cartoons. Hebdo you may recall had its offices fire bombed last November after it published a mocking cartoon of Mohammed under the faux heading Sharia Hebdo. It also had published the Danish Mohammed cartoons in 2006.
For the latest batch of Charlie Hebdo cartoons, we searched for translations. Our colleague Vlad Tepes sent us this video which has all of them in translation. Watch the You Tube video and news report...
Vlad Tepes also referred us to this South Park episode on free speech in the wake of the 2006 Danish Mohammed Cartoon, " Head in the Sand." You may recall the controversy in the wake of their 2010, Mohammed in a bear costume incident . The 2006 South Park segment brilliantly captures the dilemma that the West faces intimidated by the threats of violence from angered Muslim communities both domestically and in the Muslim Ummah. The South Park episode brilliantly portrays the extremes that some in the West go to accommodate Muslim blasphemy outrage effectively abdicating free speech rights guaranteed under our First Amendment. When we interviewed Kurt Westergaard, the Danish cartoonist who drew the most offensive of the cartoons published by Danish newspaper, JyllandsPosten, he said bluntly; "Free Speech, Use It!"
Watch the South Park episode on the satiric reaction to the Muslim Cartoon controversy of 2006, "Head in the Sand."

Eggs Benedict isn't nearly as difficult to prepare as you may think. The hardest part is getting all the components finished at the same time. This classic breakfast egg dish is a favorite at our house, especially when we have overnight guests. I like to prepare it simply, with just an English muffin, a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce - to allow our fresh eggs to really shine and take center stage. The key to perfect Eggs Benedict is using fresh eggs and fresh lemon juice.
Four whole eggs plus 3 egg yolks
2 split English muffins
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 stick cold salted butter, cut into small pieces
Salt & white pepper to taste
Grated nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Poach the four whole eggs in barely simmering water until soft set. Toast the English muffins and keep warm.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce: Whisk the three egg yolks, fresh lemon juice and water in a heatproof glass (not metal) bowl set over a pot of boiling water. Slowly add the butter, a few pieces at a time , whisking continuously until the butter is incorporated.
Continue to whisk and cook the sauce for another minute or two until it thickens. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Immediately remove from heat. Place an egg on each muffin half, cover with sauce, and grate fresh nutmeg on top if desired. Serve immediately.
I love making homemade eggnog for the holidays. Since all the eggs I cook and bake with are fresh, laid by our own backyard flock, and have been handled properly, I feel confident making recipes that include partially cooked eggs.
This eggnog is a holiday tradition at our house. Our fresh eggs, along with scraped vanilla bean and freshly ground nutmeg, make it truly a guilty pleasure guaranteed to deliver plenty of holiday cheer. My recipe is pretty basic - adapted from a combination of Martha Stewart's Classic Eggnog recipe and Emeril's Eggnog recipe - and I always get compliments when I serve it to friends and family. It is a little more involved than some recipes, but so worth the extra effort!
(My recipe does contain alcohol, but please feel free to just omit the liquor if you want to make a family-friendly version.)
Holiday Eggnog
(makes approximately 3 quarts)
8 fresh eggs, plus 4 additional eggs separated
1-3/4 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream, plus 1/2 cup
6 cups whole milk
1 vanilla bean
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup sherry
1/4 cup brandy
Whisk the eight eggs plus the four additional yolks with the sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow and thick. Heat the 2 cups heavy cream (reserving the 1/2 cup for later), the milk and the scraped vanilla bean in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking just until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges.
Add about a cup of the milk mixture into the whisked egg and whisk to blend, then pour the egg/milk mixture into the hot milk in the saucepan and continue to cook (this prevents the egg from cooking before it is incorporated), whisking, for about 3-5 minutes, or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and allow to cool.
Once cooled, add the vanilla bean paste, nutmeg and liquors to the eggnog and stir well. In a small bowl, beat the 4 egg whites until soft peaks form and then gently fold into the eggnog. In a clean chilled bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the eggnog. Refrigerate until chilled, then garnish with additional fresh grated nutmeg and serve.
Happy Holidays!

When a pullet nears laying age, anywhere after 18 weeks old or so, she will most likely start to squat down when you approach. She will bend her legs, crouch, and sort of flatten her wings and back. So what does that all mean in her chicken world?
Squatting is a sign of submission – so she is shifting into the mating position for a rooster. If you don't have a rooster in your flock, she will often see YOU as the rooster.
The squat also signals that she will soon begin to lay eggs. Many fans on my Facebook page report collecting their first egg within days of noticing their young hen squatting.
Squatting is also a defensive position against a predator attack. By lowering her body to the ground, she is protecting her vulnerable underbelly, making herself a smaller target and holding still to hope to avoid detection by a motion-savvy aerial predator.
Pullets lower in the pecking order will also often squat for a higher-ranking older hen to show submission.
Regardless of the reason for the squat, it comes in very handy when you need to catch or pick up your hens or catch them!
So now you know. The next time you're outside with your flock, make it a point to notice among your young pullets who's squatting and who's not and you'll have a pretty good idea who your soon-to-be-layers are!
For more on what to expect when you're EGG-SPECTING, read HERE.

Join me on FACEBOOK and my BLOG for more tips, tricks and advice on raising happy, healthy chickens naturally!
Cold weather means a shortage of weeds and bugs for your chickens to scratch for. Bored chickens can be prone to pecking and bullying each other. This easy to make Seed Treat Block will keep your chickens happy and busy, as well as provide them with some warming grains and other ingredients to help them through the cold weather.
Here's what you need:
2 cups scratch grains (a mix of cracked corn, oats, barley & other mixed grains)
1 cup layer feed
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup Blackstrap molasses
1/2 cup coconut oil, liquified
Preheat oven to 325 F. In large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. Pat into several small baking dishes or casseroles, so your blocks are approximately 2 inches thick. Three 6-inch round cake pans work perfectly. (Optional, use a chopstick to make a hole in each block so you can hang them in the run.)
Bake for 30 minutes, then cool completely. Run a knife around the inside rim of each pan and invert to remove the block. Serve to a flock of very happy girls. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen and then defrosted as needed. Serve in limited amounts as a treat.
If you enjoyed this recipe, you might also be interested in making your chickens Homemade Suet Blocks, a Scratch Treat Wreath or Edible Garlands to help them through the cold weather.
Doing farm chores in the winter is a bit more pleasant when your hands are warm. Mitten and gloves and be cumbersome when you need your fingers free. These cute felt hand warmers couldn't be easier to sew up and they not only make for toasty warm hands in the cold weather, but also are wonderful holiday gifts or stocking stuffers.
Here's what you will need:
100% wool felt in assorted colors (don't use polyester felt, it can melt when you heat it up)
Coordinating sewing thread
Red embroidery floss/embroidery needle
Filler (corn, rice, beans, etc)
Here's what you do:
Cut two 5" squares from each color felt then cut each square into a heart shape. Hand stitch your words with the embroidery floss (I just free-handed it) and then with the right sides together, sew along the outer edge, leaving a 1" opening. Carefully trim along the seams with sharp scissors, as close to the stitching as you can. Turn each heart right side out and machine stitch along the edge, stopping at your opening. Fill each heart with your filler and then neatly hand stitch the openings shut.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
When you are ready to use your hand warmers, microwave them for 40-60 seconds or toss them in the dryer for a minute or two. Then tuck one into each coat pocket. They should stay warm for about half an hour.
Visit my Fresh Eggs Daily Blog and Facebook page for tips, tricks and advice to raising happy, healthy chickens naturally.
One of the main reasons I started raising chickens was to provide a healthy, economical food source for our family that I knew wasn't full of antibiotics or hormones, provides by animals that were loved and cared for in a humane way. So why would I raise a backyard flock and then pump them full of chemical-laden medications, wormers and antibiotics? Instead I have taken the natural route - with great success.
Until recently, I only had my own reading, 'research' and personal results to let me know that I was on to something. But in the last year or so, more and more is coming out in the news about the dangers of overusing antibiotics, in humans and animals, and studies are being done into natural alternatives for chickens.
The New York Times ran a story last year called In Hopes of Healthier Chickens, Farms Turn To Oregano about one chicken farmer using oregano oil and cinnamon as an antibiotic substitute to treat chickens. Sage is being studied to combat Salmonella, as evidenced by this article called Sage Could Protect Young Chickens against Salmonella.
I read these studies with great interest because they prove the things that I believe to be true. Herbs tend to work in the bodies of chickens the same way they do in humans and nearly every herbs and edible flower has great health benefits. I dry homegrown herbs, then crush them and add them to our layer feed for added nutrition and immune system benefits. I add fresh herbs and flowers to my coop and nesting boxes to provide some added protection from parasites, insects, rodents and snakes.
Growing herbs is inexpensive, easy and not only useful for cooking for your family, but simple to incorporate into your chicken keeping. Here are some of my favorites to use with our flock:
Lavender - stress reliever, insecticide, increases blood circulation (photo: iStockphoto.com/VeraDo)
Mint - insecticide and rodent repellent
Nasturtium - insecticide, natural wormer, laying stimulant
Oregano - contains antibiotic properties thought to combat coccidia, E.coli, avian flu and infectious bronchitis
Sage - antioxidant, thought to combat salmonella
Thyme - aids respiratory health, antibaterical and antioxidant
For a more comprehensive list of herbs, their benefits and how I use them in my chicken keeping, please visit The Ultimate Chicken Care Guide on my blog or purchase my new book, Fresh Eggs Daily: Raising Happy, Healthy Chickens...Naturally, newly released by St. Lynn's Press and available online or at your local bookstore.
Using natural cleaning products is so important to me for my family's health. It became even more important after we brought a corgi into our home this past spring because he literally walks around the house licking the floor (don't ask, I guess it's a corgi thing!) I can't risk using chemicals, so I switched to using natural (mostly homemade) cleaning products.
One area I was stuck on was a grout cleaner that actually worked. We have white tile and grout in our bathroom and the tile was fast becoming black. Between our two dogs, our cat and ourselves, we manage to track in a fair amount of dirt.
I tried several different concoctions I found on the internet with varying degrees of success. It wasn't until I tried mixing some things on my own that I stumbled upon a recipe that really does work.
(makes enough to do one large kitchen or bathroom floor or two small ones)
3 cups warm water
1/2 cup baking soda
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
Whisk the ingredients in a large bowl. Using a funnel, pour some into a squirt bottle to use full strength on dingy grout. Spray grout liberally.
Add some water to the rest of the cleaner in the bowl and use a mop to clean the entire floor. Let it all sit for 10-15 minutes. Using an old toothbrush, scrub the grout, then mop the entire floor again with clean water. Your grout and tile will be sparkling. Discard any remaining cleaner.
You will be able to sleep better knowing that your grout is clean and no harmful chemicals were used. Winston, our corgi, was actually drinking out of the bowl while I was cleaning - with no ill effects. Again, it's a corgi thing....

All candidates listed to the right have not yet been inducted.
One of the most famous mascots in college sports, the Hawk is best known for staying in constant motion by flapping its wings throughout every basketball game and representing the Saint Joseph's motto, "The Hawk Will Never Die".
The idea for the Hawk as a mascot was originated by Jim Brennan during the 1954-55 season. Brennan, a former Marine and SJU cheerleader, at first wanted to secure an actual hawk, but later switched to the costume idea. The student government raised the 120 dollars needed to buy the initial costume, which Brennan donned for three years. He made his debut as the Hawk on January 4, 1956, a 69-56 win over La Salle at the Palestra. Since then, and including this season, a total of 29 SJU students, have donned the costume. Sara Brennan in 2000-01 has been the only woman thus far to serve as the mascot. The Hawk has not missed a men's basketball game since that first season.
In addition to the constant flapping, the Hawk is also recognized by its "flying" in figure eights around the court during timeouts. The constant motino, coupled with the scrappy play of the University's athletic teams, helped to spawn the school's familiar slogan "The Hawk Will Never Die!" A few years ago, ESPN used a "flap-o-meter" on the national telecast of a Saint Joseph's game to estimate that the Hawk flaps its wings 3,500 times during a regulation game.
The Hawk is unique because it is one of the few mascots in the nation that travels to every game, and the student who holds the position gains a full scholarship. The student, who is selected through an interview process during the previous spring semester, also serves as a team manager for the men's basketball team and travels with the squad.
The most decorated mascot in the country, The Hawk has garnered numerous accolades in its 50-year history. It has been selected as the nation's top mascot by The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Street & Smith's Basketball Yearbook and ESPN College Basketball magazine. Eastern Basketball tabbed The Hawk as the Atlantic 10 Conference's best mascot, while The Hawk won a "Best of Philly" award from Philadelphia Magazine in 2003-04.
Saint Joseph's athletic teams have been recognized with the nickname "Hawks" since 1929. At that time, the school's yearbook editor, Charlie Dunn, initiated a contest among the student body for a symbol. More than 100 submissions were narrowed to two, with "Hawks" winning out over "Grenadiers" (World War I soldiers who specialized in tossing grenades) by a slim margin in the final vote. The winning suggestion was submitted by John Gallagher, Class of '31, who was a catcher on the Saint Joseph's baseball team. He won a sweater with a special Saint Joseph's monogram for selecting the winning name. According to the student annual, the name was appropriate because it typified "the fighting spirit of our crimson and gray athletes and it is suggestive of the aerial attack which has made our football team famous." Ironically, football was discontinued at Saint Joseph's following the 1939 season.

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/low-country-blues
Fans of contemporary country have long marched to the sound of Southern rock, now a major component of country music. Rock-informed guitars are the instruments of choice for many younger country acts, many of whom could easily get away with a concert encore of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" or the Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man," so established are such songs in today's country-fan consciousness. So, while it might make sense for Southern-rock pioneer and veteran Gregg Allman to cash in his chips at the country table, that's not the route he takes on Low Country Blues, his first solo album in nearly 14 years. On a collection dominated by obscure blues chestnuts, Gregg pulls surprising grit and range from a voice hollowed out by hepatitis C and decades of hard rock 'n' roll living. The album plays like a tribute to an earlier era, rich with period atmosphere, and Gregg, as always, delivers an authenticity few white singers could muster. This disc, though, may give die-hard country fans the blues.

Can't help you with the LED codes, but have worked on *many* PWS's,
maybe I can help a little.
Are you getting any beep codes?
If you're having ram compatibility issues, it will beep. Remove and
reseat all RAM. RAM needs to be in matched pairs, check that all RAM is
similar. Remove all but two sticks of ram in bank 0. Make SURE ram is
compatible with PWS, PC66(100 will work, 133 will not), CL2, ECC. PWS
won't recognize any Ram module >256mb.
Check to see if all fans come on with power on of system. If any one fan
is not working, it won't boot.
Remove all add on boards except video card. Unplug all HD's, CD's and
If still no boot, try a different video card.
Make sure jumper settings on upper MB haven't been changed by someone
trying to overclock it. The correct settings are: 01011001
Good luck!

Hey hun,
I had some pain to start with but after a while it went away. I put it down to the fact that I spent some 4 hours trying to push my baby out when he was never gonna come out that way cause my pelvis is too small. I ended up having a section and like you didnt expect sex to hurt. I also put it down to the fact that I was a little tense cause I was expecting my LO to wake Not that Im noisy!!
Its fine now though and I dont get any pain.
Maybe you could talk to your doctor about it?
Sorry I dont have a reason for it.

2 Sizes Cotton Duck Shower Curtains
Heavy Duty Fabric Means No More Billowing Liner In Your Tub Or Shower Stall
2 Sizes Cotton Duck Shower Curtains
Heavy Duty Fabric Means No More Billowing Liner In Your Tub Or Shower Stall
We didn't believe it until we tried it, but it's true: You can have a fabric shower curtain and a dry bathroom floor, too! Switching to an all-cotton shower curtain also means that you can get rid of that annoying plastic liner that clings to your legs and cuts the room in your shower in half. This beefy shower curtain accomplishes these tasks because it's made of 10-ounce cotton duck fabric, which has a tight weave and plenty of heft to ensure water won't seep through.
- 100% cotton shower curtain
- Rustproof metal grommets won't tear out
- Machine wash and hang to dry to remove any wrinkles
- Available in 65" X 72" bathtub shower or 38" X 72" shower stall sizes
- Made in Vermont
Rated 3.8 out of 5Â by 45 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MAXCAT Shower curtain for stall Since shower curtains for stalls are very, very difficult to find (all of them are for tubs), I order this one from Vermont Country Store. It is attractive and very durable, and no liner required. August 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sav It does what I intended it to do I was looking for a curtain that would fit a small shower opening and when I came across this I was thrilled because it didn't require a liner, and it looked modern and clean. I ordered in white, and so far have not had any issues with it. It keeps water from splashing outside the shower, it doesn't stick to you, and it dries quickly. I'm considering purchasing the larger one for my other shower. July 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Charlotte Elsner Calming down a shower curtain When the cotton duck shower curtain arrived, it was a proverbial 'stiff board:' impossible to gather back inside the tub. I called asking if it was ok to wash it first. The customer rep admitted he didn't know, but I should hang on a minute. He came back reporting that in a quick survey, three other reps had said, "Wash it!" (Which I did, and it worked.) This was the fastest satisfactory reply I've ever received. July 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CookieG Great shower curtain I love this shower curtain! It does the job...keeps the water in the shower, doesn't billow...good value for the money! July 7, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by george harvey cotton duck stall curtain...bad purchase very disappointed it did not keep water in the stall it shrunk while in use...2"H 1" W it grew mold all in a very short period of time June 29, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Angelbaby Unhappy customer I bought the Cotton Duck shower stall curtain to replace one I had bought from you over 10 years ago. That one was heavy plastic, cost almost twice as much and was worth every penny. My new one barely fits the shower stall opening and to top it all off it WATER STAINS!! I am really not happy with it but cannot find a stall curtain anywhere else so I am keeping it but will keep on looking for a better one. June 21, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by NMSyl Didn't measure up I was pleased with the material (100% cotton) but after washing, according to instructions, it was too short for my shower stall by about 4 inches! This will not work out and I am disappointed. June 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JackieJo Perfect Shower Curtain We have been looking for a long time to replace our cloth shower curtain and this was exactly what we were looking for. We don't like having a curtain and liner. We purchased ours in white and it looks just like its replacement--only cleaner! We plan to purchase more and "stock up" on them! June 15, 2016

The store brand identity design for Brothers Marketplace in Medfield, Massachusetts, a new concept from Roche Bros., has won the 2014 International Visual Identity Award (IVIA) in the Retail category. This smaller neighborhood market experience inspired by European-style food markets, an original vision of Pat and Bud Roche, was brought to life by Boston-based Marquis and opened in summer 2014.
Brothers Marketplace, with locations in Medfield and Weston, Massachusetts, brings an innovative approach to food, with a nod to the legacy of small neighborhood markets from long ago. Shoppers who visit will see an emphasis on unique offerings in prepared foods, baked goods, seasonal and exotic produce, meats, cheeses and packaged foods from local producers. Brothers Marketplace provides busy customers the ability to purchase grab-and-go items quickly while also offering an experiential culinary setting for lingering and savoring an array of seasonal foods.
"We worked hard to create a special retail atmosphere for Brothers Marketplace, and are thrilled to see that the store has been recognized for its innovative brand," said Roche Bros. Operations Director, Aimee Morgida. "In working with Marquis, we harnessed today's passion and enthusiasm for local farmer's market-like flair to create a new, aesthetic store design and identity. It is our goal for Brothers Marketplace to offer customers inspiration, surprise and delight each time they walk into the store."
Marquis was engaged by Roche Bros. to develop a comprehensive brand for the new store from the ground up and complement the architectural design by BHDP. The IVIA recognizes the full visual brand identity program Marquis created. This includes brand strategy and messaging, brand identity and logo design, interior decor elements such as signage, displays, packaging, labels, shopping bags, uniforms, menus and more, as well a suite of marketing collateral. Marquis also created a comprehensive brand book that allowed for the tight execution of the brand across all marketing channels and in-store materials for opening the new store.
"Developing the brand and visual identity for Brothers Marketplace was a very in-depth experience," said Marquis Principal, Julie Vail. "We created an identity that satisfied the vision of what this store concept should reflect: a gathering place with an inviting atmosphere filled with little experiences for customers and conveniences for the modern shopper. We are honored to have partnered with Roche Bros. on this project and are proud of the work we've done and the success of these new stores."
The IVIA is the first independent international design competition dedicated to visual identity. Its mission is to give good, visual identity design the exposure it deserves and formally recognize and celebrate the world's most outstanding brand work. IVIA provides a global forum for large multinational corporations, design agencies, freelancers or students still at design school to present their visual identity work.
Roche Bros. Supermarkets was founded by brothers Pat and Bud Roche in 1952. Brothers Marketplace in Medfield is located at 446 Main Street and Brothers Marketplace in Weston is located at 41 Center Street.

Bubble and Squeak?
According to Steve Blank, sometime entrepreneur and now teacher of entrepreneurship to both undergraduate and graduate students, we are definitely in a bubble.
We're now in the second Internet bubble. The signals are loud and clear: seed and late stage valuations are getting frothy and wacky, and hiring talent in Silicon Valley is the toughest it has been since the dot.com bubble. The rules for making money are different in a bubble than in normal times. What are they, how do they differ and what can a startup do to take advantage of them?
Paths to Liquidity: a quick history of the four waves of startup investing.
- The Golden Age (1970 – 1995): Build a growing business with a consistently profitable track record (after at least 5 quarters,) and go public when it's time.
- Dot.com Bubble (1995 – 2000): "Anything goes" as public markets clamor for ideas, vague promises of future growth, and IPOs happen absent regard for history or profitability.
- Lean Startups/Back to Basics (2000 – 2010): No IPO's, limited VC cash, lack of confidence and funding fuels "lean startup" era with limited M&A and even less IPO activity.
- The New Bubble: (2011 – 2014): Here we go again….
Any would be entrepreneur would be advised to read the post. Like all such posts don't make the mistake of thinking Mr. Blank has the inside path to truth and wisdom, but don't make the mistake of dismissing what he says.
I am not convinced we are in a bubble. I think he is right to say that the market has changed, and there are certainly some very bubble-like symptoms out there, and it may yet turn out to be a bubble. This could be more froth than bubble, but that froth may yet turn out to be just that, froth and nothing underneath it.

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
Let your troubles ebb away at Ebborways Farm near Wells, in the scenic heart of Somerset. Perfect for those in pursuit of an authentic camping experience, simplicity is the key here: it's just you, a field - and a campfire if you like - in sumptuous, serene surroundings. Facilities are limited to a water supply and composting loos, and you can pitch wherever you like, alone or in groups.
However, you're not too far from a bit of civilization: it's a short walk to a handful of pubs - including a couple that do top-notch food - and a farm shop, in the local village of Priddy (and it is, too).
Please note that you'll need to bring your own wood for campfires, or ask the owners to buy some for you in advance of arriving.

They're Melting! Great Lakes Come Close, But Miss Ice Record
Originally published on Tue March 11, 2014 9:25 am
Another cold snap could change things, of course, but it appears that after a long winter the Great Lakes have come close to — but won't break — their recorded record for ice cover.
The latest data from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory show the lakes are about 84 percent ice-covered, down from a peak this season of just over 92 percent and well short of the 95 percent high mark sent in 1979.
In an email, NOAA/GLERL scientist George Leshkevich tells us that satellite imagery also indicates "that ice cover is starting to break up on the Great Lakes."
Lake Michigan, though, can lay claim to a new record, at least in terms of what's in the data from recent decades. Its ice cover peaked at 93.3 percent on Saturday. Leshkevich says the lake's previous record, 93.1 percent, was set in 1977. The researchers at NOAA/GLERL began collecting the data in 1973.
By the way, Lake Michigan's ice caves haven't been safe to visit for a few weeks. As the Detroit Free Press has reported, "milder temperatures and high winds have broken up the ice sheet on the lake side of the formations, and open water is visible near the caves."
As of Monday, though, the Green Bay Press Gazette was writing that Lake Superior's ice caves were still attracting tourists.

Judaica Photograph Compact Album Two Part Hinged OLD
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $34.00
- Item Not Available
This is an old Judaica photograph compact or album that is in a silver tone metal with gold tone accents and design. It has room for 2 photographs inside. Comes with one photograph already. Hinges open and closes nicely and securely. Each photo space has a metal frame bezel with a backing and clear plastic cover. The photo that came with it is on top of the plastic cover and I have not tried to move it. The inside is in excellent condition. The outside is in fair condition. It has many scratches which look to be on the surface and some discoloration in spots. I have not tried to sand this down or polish. It could quite possibly come up fine by doing either one. The design on the front is not flat but has a little dimension to it. I am not sure if this was used to carry in one's purse or what. Measures 2 3/8 x 2 3/4 inches. Measures 3/8 inch thick. Shipping is $5.50 for 1st class,delivery confirmation.

Though they've sold zillions of copies, won praise from critics and librarians everywhere, and taught millions of kids about tough topics like sex and bullying, none of Judy Blume's 20-odd novels has ever been made into a feature film – until now.
This summer, an adaptation of Blume's 1981 YA book Tiger Eyes will hit theaters and On Demand, bringing the celebrated author's work to the big screen for the first time. The movie stars Arrow's Willa Holland as Davey Wexler, a teen who moves from New Jersey to New Mexico after her convenience store owner father is shot to death. The movie should be a fairly moody meditation on grief – though nostalgia hounds will be tickled to spot Felicity star (and former Pink Power Ranger) Amy Jo Johnson as Davey's mother, Gwen.
Tiger Eyes comes to theaters and V.O.D. June 7.
