Also, the drop did seem out of place, it's nice though, but seems a little out of context. One easy trick to fix that is to use at least one of the main synths from the intro/build up part ;) 2012/11/27 09:12:44 +0000 Comment by AC-IN RECORDS good melodies and syntesis ,nice bridge an beat 2012/11/27 09:11:20 +0000 Comment by Tokyo Skyline nice track, very retro :) old school sound 2012/11/27 09:08:42 +0000 Comment by Bonnie Legion wow this is fun to listen too like it alot 2012/11/27 09:08:30 +0000 Comment by theofficial_Givenchy cool beat. too wavyyy. killed it 2012/11/27 09:05:35 +0000 Comment by Rich Resey (dj) I love the layered synth work. they work beautifully together! cool track for sure man 2012/11/27 08:59:14 +0000 Comment by Edm World Repost addiction has let me addicted to listen to this track great work 2012/11/27 08:50:35 +0000 Comment by electricprosodie Nice mix.

Abseiling at Glenworth Valley is all about experiencing a fantastic day of fun, excitement and adventure in the great outdoors. We offer two different abseiling experiences on our property for you to choose from.
Abseil 1 is our most popular abseiling experience and is set on top of an easily accessible mountain with stunning views over Popran Creek as it meanders its way through Glenworth Valley and surrounding National Parks. This site is suitable for beginner abseilers and offers three exciting descents - a gentle, introductory descent to develop your confidence before working up to the more challenging and lengthy vertical flat wall and open air, overhang type descents.
Abseil 2 is our new rainforest abseiling experience and is located in a more remote area of our property. It is a slightly more advanced and challenging experience and is best suited to those who have completed abseil 1 or who are more confident abseilers. It features a mixture of flat wall vertical and overhang type descents with a spectacular sandstone cave to explore. The final and longest abseil is an open air descent beside a rainforest waterfall.
Your abseiling adventure starts with a warm welcome and introduction to the days proceedings. After our safety briefing, your guide will train you in all the abseiling techniques you need to know before stepping out onto some small beginners rocks where you can practice your technique and develop your confidence. By the end of the session you will be able to comfortably experience lengthy rock face descents, open air declines and if you are up for a real challenge, face forward rundowns.
Abseiling is great fun and surprisingly easy. In fact, no experience is necessary and absolutely anyone can do it. To maximise the pleasure and enjoyment of our participants, we practice "challenge by choice" where you control how much of an adventure you wish to undertake. Both abseiling sites offer spectacular views of Glenworth Valley and surrounds, so be sure to bring your camera along.
Safety is paramount and we have a number of safeguards built into all of our abseils to maximise your enjoyment and peace of mind. These include use of only the finest quality equipment, friendly, qualified, experienced guides and a backup safety belaying system where we can take control of your descent at any time if required. We also have separate instructor ropes so that we can coach you every step of the way if you are in need of any assistance.
We specialise in everything from enjoyable eco adventures with family and friends through to group outings for social organisations and corporate team building activities. We also provide outdoor education programs for school and community groups.

quote BioStudio albumsKendrick Lamar (born June 17, 1987) formerly known as K. Dot, is an American rapper from Compton, California. His music is influenced by Tupac Shakur, Nas, Jay-Z, Kanye West and DMX. He is a member of Black Hippy along with Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q. In 2009 he released an EP titled The Kendrick Lamar EP, a highly acclaimed mixtape in 2010 titled O(verly) D(edicated) and released his third solo project Section.80 on July 2, 2011.
quote EricFKendrick's talent exceeds Tupac's significantly.
quote cherrytooyaI think calling him the Tupac of our time does Kendrick a disservice. Kendrick is a once in a generation rapper just like Eminem was for those that grew up with him and Tupac was, but they have vastly different qualities and both are greats of the industry. I think the best compliment you can give an artist is that they sound unique and that they are their own person, comparisons can be complimentary but it puts the artist in their shadow and that's often not a good thing.I been listening to Kendrick for a few years now and I remember telling people in school that he was gonna be making a big sound in hip hop. I been at all his concerts in mass and I will see every one that he comes for its awesome to see a legend in my own time and being able to say that I saw it be for it happened. im not gonna argue with people with what im about to say but, he is the tupac of our time. Kendrick is the best current rapper. I will be at his concert here
quote judaspriesti think he's gotten better with every project.That untitled stuff was a nice suprise. Listened to it on route to work this morning, some class tracks.
Is it just me who thinks Section.80 is still his best album so far though?

Interview: Tegan & Sara talk nonsense, romance on new album 'Sainthood'
Pop-rock duo Tegan & Sara kicked off this new release week with a bit of nonsense.
"Sainthood" hit shelves Tuesday, and boasts the hyper-catchy single "Hell"; the track, says Tegan Quin, is one of the more straight-forward, "lofty" songs she's written. Which is why the duo wanted the accompanying music video to make absolutely no sense.
"We definitely did not want to do a traditional rock video," Tegan says. So the two tapped filmmaker Jamie Travis -- who also directed their clip for "Back in Your Head" -- and off they went to some rabbit-hole-like hotel room set, complete with mummies, pompadours and suitcases of props. It's ridiculous and actually pretty funny. Check out the video below.
That track, as well as "The Cure" and "Don't Rush," were inspired in part by Tegan's Vancouver neigborhood. Her girlfriend lives in California, while Sara lives in Montreal. The pair worked on their songwriting during a retreat to New Orleans after "The Con." Locale and sense of place seems to play a major role in the group's career as they entered into crafting the album.
"[New Orleans] was a real inspiration in a way because we were all alone and didn't know anyone," Tegan says. "From my neighborhood [in Vancouver] -- it's had its problems with drugs -- I was drawing parallels to my own relationship, on topics of love and drug addiction. Doctors talk about drug addiction and when people talk about being high, the same buttons in the brain light up as people who talk about obsession and love. That's like an answer I needed, an excuse for how I was feeling about love."
"Sainthood" overall is a turnabout from the sisters' last set, "The Con," which is their best-selling set to date. Whereas that 2007 album tackled cheating and break-ups with an overall emotional crunchiness, "Sainthood" feels more lyrically benign but lashes out instrumentally. It is their most rock-oriented effort yet, due to the live recording setup.
"We've always been a band, not just a duo... but this time, as a five-piece band, we stood in a room and recorded as a band," she says, as opposed to recording tracks individually and mixing them together. Tegan & Sara tapped producer Chris Walla, who also performs in Death Cab For Cutie, to helm the set.
The band will be playing most of the new set, with some "rarer" older tracks thrown in, Tegan says. Fans have long expected and loved T&S's onstage banter and stories, and that can be similarly expected with this round. "We tend to act different with different crowds, depending on how well they're behaving," Tegan laughs, "So, y'know..."

I did not make sense to me why FGP would go down 10% at the open. So, I took a chance and bought some $22.50 calls when the stock was around $24.85. This should work well for me. And to think that 3 weeks ago, I was considering writing some covered calls. Life is funny. I am a bit confused about the offerring. Why would someone buy into it. Is not the offerring for "common units" the same thing that you can buy on the open market? Why pay over 26 bucks when the stock price is $25.30 or thereabouts? Or am I missing something, I probably need to study up a little more on Limited Partnerships in general. Of course, if the market price rises to meet the offerring in the next couple of days, then I should be looking at about a 100% gain on the calls.
I got frustrated, and finally exercised them. Sold half the shares, will let the other half run. I suspect that the seller is not covered, so he/she now has a short position. And I learned a lesson, and made a nice chunk of cash for my trouble. This stock is working well for me, although I still have a lot of concerns.
<<The trading in them is very illiquid, but still, a good investment. >>LOL...yeah, I know. I traded FGP options _once_. They are very illiquid. Nothing like being right and having no one to trade with!!! Good luck.
Yea I was kind of wondering about that myself. usually in a offering, they set the price well below what it is trading at. Although it was trading higher before the announcement. In effect the announcement brought it down, but why didi it drop below the offering price?
<<<In effect the announcement brought it down, but why didi it drop below the offering price? >>>Market conditions. They picked the absolute worst day to announce and commence a secondary, IMO. We know that MLP's do secondary's periodically...that is life. But, geebus, FGP's luck with this one was pretty bad. Nice price action on Monday, announce secondary, and Tuesday the world markets all tank...so it was a double whammy downdraft for FGP. It'll recover though. The nice distribution will lure buyers.
Again, my opinion only here, I may be missing something, but here goes: One, I believe the general market selloff contributed today, just not sure why FGP got hit as hard as it did. Two, unless they can get this stock up in the next few days, I simply do not understand how they are going to get anyone to buy the new units. Three, you are correct in that many companies actually do secondary offerrings at a lower price than market. Also, the failure of this may not be a totally bad thing, although I am not privy to the insider workings of FGP, so that is just speculation on my part. Only time will tell.

When it became winning time during the second half of Tuesday afternoon's game in Mackey Arena, unbeaten and third-ranked Ohio State exhibited the poise and play-making ability that a lineup comprised of two seniors and three juniors should, especially on the road.
The Buckeyes (14-0) broke away from a tie at 46 for a 78-69 victory against an improving Purdue team that only wishes it had a lineup with that much experience.
Junior forward LaQuinton Ross had a monster second half to finish with 25 points and 12 rebounds, and senior point guard Aaron Craft was terrific with seven points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, no turnovers, four steals and a block.
While Purdue (10-4) countered with a terrific game from sophomore center A.J. Hammons with 18 points, 16 rebounds, four assists and five blocks, the Boilermakers inexperience showed several times in key points of the second half when Ohio State began to pull away.
Certainly, Purdue is a better team today than it was two weeks ago, but the growing pains that accompany youth still are evident for a team that missed countless opportunities at or near the rim Tuesday on its way to shooting 41.8 percent.
"I would say their experience was a factor, especially when we had several key opportunities in a row to convert and didn't," said Purdue senior Terone Johnson, who had 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists. "There were just too many times there when we should have been plus-five instead of minus-five.
"We had chances, but there were too many times when we failed to contain the dribble, and then they were real patient."
The young Boilermakers played with effort and passion, but as Ohio State coach Thad Matta acknowledged, the Buckeyes experience of being in the big moment in the Big Ten was huge when the game was there to be won or lost.
"(Experience) is something we haven"t had a lot of the past two seasons," Matta said. "We talk about that with our guys that there is no drill you can run in practice to give guys experience.
"A lot of times you don't know what it's going to be like until you can get guys on the road. Down the stretch, our guys showed that experience that they have gained."
Purdue coach Matt Painter likes the strides his freshmen and sophomore dominated team has made, but he was quick to point out that despite doing many things well, this still was a loss. not only a loss, but a Big Ten home loss.
"They made plays," Painter said. "LaQuinton Ross had a great game, as did Shannon Scott. And Craft just affects the game in such a huge way without even scoring. All he wants is for Ohio State to win."
And the Buckeyes did just that, relying on their poise, experience and play-making ability in big games, especially games on the road, to improve to 14-0.
Meanwhile, this Purdue team still has a chance to be a very good one, but as Matta said, there is no drill in practice that can teach experience. Ohio State has a lot of it, and Purdue is in the process of acquiring it.

Newt takes no-adultery pledge
By ALEXANDER BURNS | 12/12/11 1:09 PM EST
When the Iowa social conservative group The Family Leader unveiled a sweeping pledge on marriage and abortion over the summer, Newt Gingrich was one of the candidates who passed on signing it.
Now, Gingrich has answered the pledge with a lengthy written response, vowing to support a federal marriage amendment, reinstate the Mexico City policy -- and, per the stipulations of The Family Leader pledge, to be faithful to his wife:
I also pledge to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others.
Gingrich's full response after the jump ...
To Bob Vander Plaats and the Executive Board of The FAMiLY LEADER:
I appreciate the opportunity to affirm my strong support of the mission of the FAMiLY LEADER by solemnly vowing to defend and strengthen the family through the following actions I would take as President of the United States.
Defending Marriage. As President, I will vigorously enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, which was enacted under my leadership as Speaker of the House, and ensure compliance with its provisions, especially in the military. I will also aggressively defend the constitutionality of DOMA in federal and state courts. I will support sending a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman to the states for ratification. I will also oppose any judicial, bureaucratic, or legislative effort to define marriage in any manner other than as between one man and one woman.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Do you think this will work as well as the Grover Norquist Tax Pledge?
Didn't he do that at least 3 other times?
I won't even say anything. There are too many people who suddenly believe Gingrich is a conservative and a saint.
I think the horse already left the barn on this one ... about 30 years ago.
Considering his age and the shape he's in, was the pledge really necessary?
I actually believe him. He will be raked over the coals for saying it, but I do believe him. My take is that he's seen the fruits of infidelity and he's not likely to go there again. Of course, that is JUST an opinion!
If he wouldn't keep his vow to his Creator, should we believe that he'd keep his vow to the voters?
You have got to be sh!tting me! I guess we can all rest assured, safely with the knowledge that this pledge will have the same effect that Bill Clinton's spritual counseling sessions with Jesse Jackson et al (of the religiously inclined wonks) after his inappropriate Oval Office BJs had, huh?
"Read my lips! No....Newt....asses!"
Good one! Is anyone else as tired of these asinine pledges as I am? And this one is the most asinine of all.
I am however, personally insulted that Newt would attempt to explain to me (the voter) that his indiscretions arose from his love of country:
"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate"
To me it's really no different than, "I smoked but I didn't inhale," with the exception that Clinton didn't attempt to cloak his pot smoking with his patriotism. IMHO, Newt's "explanation," is an insult to the intelligence of everybody he hoped would buy it.
I don't see adultery mentioned anywhere in his letter.
Hell yeah!
Sinners need not apply!
Eff 'em all ('specailly dem Kathlick mofos!)
Repenting is useless!
Screw the frikkin prodigal son - we've been perfect all along!
No one gets a second chance!

I would not believe Clinton if he were to take the pledge. But I'm with you about Newt.
"Read my lips ... no new lips!"
This pledge by Newt should bring about a new round of mass amnesia by conservatives around here.
In the letter, Newt pledged "personal fidelity to my spouse".
For those in Rio Linda, that means "no adultery" (except for Mormon polygamists).
He didn't honor his pledge 2 other times, why would anyone think he would honor this one.
But, for a golden oldie see:
During April 1980, Newt and Jackie separated. They divorced in February 1981.
The most notorious incident in Gingrichs marriage ... was when he cornered Jackie in her hospital room where she was recovering from uterine cancer surgery and insisted on discussing the terms of the divorce he was seeking. Shortly after that infamous encounter, Gingrich refused to pay his alimony and child-support payments. The First Baptist Church in his hometown had to take up a collection to support the family Gingrich had deserted. Six months after divorcing Jackie, Gingrich married a younger woman, Marianne, with whom he had been having an affair.

I tend to agree with you. I think he may have had a genuine turn-around with God. I also have noticed that he frequently takes the opportunity to drive home the message that our rights come from God and not from the state. Santorum and Bachmann have doe the same, but Gingrich has the numbers right now.
For those who are opining that the new rules for this year might allow a dark-horse entry early next year...I can only say that... I have never heard any of those possible candidates proposed by the same pundits repeatedly emphasizing that message. I can't honestly say that I've heard any of them talk about it at all. They may have....but I am unaware of it.
I want a presidential candidate who understand the the economy is NOT the main goal....but rather a restoration of the country from top to bottom, a country of good people who seek God and His Wisdom.
A blessed event.
Personally, I think all these 'pledges' are STUPID.
Irrelevant. His creator kept his promise to Newt. He died for his sin and in accepting that gift, Newt became justified in the eyes of God Almighty. That's enough for me. As the Bible passage goes: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Do you really want to go there? Everybody is fallible. Everybody has feet of clay. I'm a Calvinist, so I believe in the doctrine of universal and radical depravity of man. Even Christians sin. In my personal salvation, I did my part. I sinned. Jesus did his part, he gave his life for that sin. On that basis, I'm going to cut Newt a huge break on this topic. Remember, if you even think of the sin, it's the same as doing it. So which of you is blameless?
Newt is a sneaky devil...
My emphasis is NOT on sneaky,..
"Newt takes no-adultery pledge"
Well that's worth what we paid for it.
flip flop...i mean evolving
Yes, he did. And thus far he has broken that pledge twice.
He wants the vote of the shareholders aka voters of USA to obtain a job as CEO, and wants me to trust his judgment. As one of the individuals who has a say in making that decision, I have to take his entire record in consideration in making that decision. Can I trust him? In most elections, I wouldn't vote for him. Luckily for Newt, he has other people interviewing that I can not support. However, I'm not on the Newt bandwagon at this time.
Maybe Newt's schlong has now shrunk to the point of no return?
This Time For SURE!
When did my party start bowing to the bob van plaats of the world
I agree with you.
When did my party start bowing to the bob van plaats of the world
No s/ needed...
So true, the perfect Christian PLEASE throw the first stone!
Of Course OUR transgressions are covered by God's Grace...
Which gives us the "right" to judge/condemn.....
ahhhhhh r i g h t ?
Repentance requires an admission of the Sin and to ask forgiveness from the person wronged.
If Newt were not running for the highest office in the U.S it would be none of my business.
However he has decided to place himself under public scrutiny, and we do deserve an answer on this one, doncha think.
I pledge never to say stupid.....
BTW you do know that Newt supposedly converted to Catholicism right?
I want Newt (and the other candidates) to vow that he won't do a Viagra commercial like Bob Dole's if they lose.
Has Newt given testimony that he has accepted Christ as Lord and Personal Savior?
If so, that is news to me. Because if he understood the true meaning of salvation (Eph 2:8-9) why would he join the Roman Catholic Church? Some Roman Catholics who understand the true meaning of salvation sometimes do remain in the Church, but not many of them because many teachings of the RCC and the Bible are in contradiction. Especially the doctrine of salvation.
(One woman's story of conversion from RCC upon learning the real Gospel)
He could pledge to give up Viagra.
Yes, some people here have changed the name to newt idol. Grape drinking.
His own daughter says he has really changed. She ought to know.
I just hope and Pray some here will read it and receive it as the truth that it is.
I THANK GOD for HIS grace everyday.
Good point.... although there is some connection between infidelity and adultery, they are not synonyms. Amongst other things, if a spouse refuses to have sex with the one he or she is married to, that also is an act of infidelity.

My micro setting brush is the key to completing any look with a controlled dusting of powder or highlighter:
- look pixel perfect even in harsh light
- ultra smooth taklon bristles
Was a bit worried about buying these, but OMG!! i think these are the best brushes ever........ i'm from australia and great make up brushes are hard to come across and then when you do they cost you an arm and a leg in price. With these brushes they are flawless in the way they apply any product to your face. Bristles are soft and because of the way the handles are you have great control. I have many MAC brushes but i would have to say that real technique brushes are actually better, this is my opinion. And also buying from iherb was great service and fast postage.
Very usefull for very precise areas, like the undereye or around the nose. I also use it when I need to correct some areas that I overdid, like when I applied too much blush on my cheeks, I can soften the color with this brush and some powder.

For international parties who have contracted with Indian counterparties and agreed to refer disputes to international arbitration, a critical issue is the degree to which the Indian courts have jurisdiction to review and set aside awards.
In the landmark decision of Reliance Industries Limited & Anr. v Union of India handed down on 28 May 2014, the Indian Supreme Court has confirmed that the Indian courts do not have jurisdiction to set aside an arbitral award in circumstances where the parties have (i) agreed to refer disputes to arbitration with a seat in London and (ii) provided for English law to govern their arbitration agreement. Rather, any application to set aside an award in this case should be made to the English courts.
International investors who have entered into an arbitration agreement with an Indian counterparty before 6 September 2012 which does not expressly exclude Part I of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 Act (the 1996 Act), are likely to be interested in this judgment. We explain briefly why below. A more detailed analysis of the judgment can be accessed here.
Part I of the 1996 Act contains provisions which enable the Indian courts to exercise supervisory jurisdiction in arbitration proceedings, including to review and set aside arbitral awards. Even though Part I states that it applies where the place of arbitration is in India, there has been a long line of cases to the effect that the Indian courts can exercise supervisory jurisdiction in foreign seated arbitrations. These cases were the subject of widespread commentary and criticism in the international arbitration community.
In Bharat Aluminium v Kaiser Aluminium (2012) 9 SCC 552 (Balco), the Supreme Court confirmed that Part I of the 1996 Act does not apply to arbitration agreements entered into after 6 September 2012 which provide for a foreign seat.
However, for arbitration agreements entered into before 6 September 2012, the question of whether Part I of the 1996 Act applies (and therefore whether foreign awards can be reviewed and set aside in India) falls to be determined by reference to the earlier decision in Bhatia International v Bulk Trading SA and Anr. (2002) 4 SCC 105. In particular, the court will examine whether the parties expressly or impliedly excluded Part I.
Following the decision in Bhatia, many parties included a provision expressly excluding Part I in their arbitration agreements when contracting with Indian counterparties. However, numerous contracts were entered into before the 1996 Act came into force, and the question is therefore how they should be interpreted.
In this case, the arbitration agreement was entered into in 1994, and the Supreme Court considered whether the parties had excluded Part I. The Supreme Court concluded that, by selecting (i) London as the seat and (ii) English law as the governing law of the arbitration agreement, the parties agreed to exclude Part I. As a result, the Indian courts do not have jurisdiction to review and set aside arbitral awards in the present case: any such application must be made before the English courts as the courts of the seat.
This is another instance in which the Supreme Court has rendered a pro international arbitration judgment which limits the degree to which Indian courts can interfere in international arbitration proceedings. The Hon'ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh Nijjar sat on the bench in this case and in Balco, and it is hoped the trend in favour of such decisions will continue following his imminent retirement from the Supreme Court bench.
Nevertheless, it is worth reminding foreign investors that when contracting with Indian parties it is advisable to refer disputes to arbitration with a seat outside India in order to minimise the scope for judicial intervention by the Indian courts during the course of the arbitration proceedings.

Test results today came back positive.

We got our positive results about 10 weeks ago and have about 7 weeks remaining if the pregnancy.
I have run the gamut of emotions and it seems very similar to women here and in many of the books I've been reading. Allow yourself to grieve the baby you expected to have.
I was grateful to have the prenatal dx because now I really feel as ready as I can to meet baby and be ready to handle whatever comes our way.
Check out this board and the resources from the women here--it has been a true lifesaver!!

Hi Heather! Welcome to you and congratulations on your surprise pregnancy with miracle baby!
Did you have a CVS or one of the new blood tests? Do you have a supportive doctor? I hope so.
The shock might last for a while. That's okay! You just found out today! Give yourself some time. It took a lot of us quite a while to come to terms with things. For me, it was learning how very outdated my ideas about Down syndrome were that really helped me. It's embarrassing as I look back at it now...this board was a wealth of information as is: www.downsyndromepregnancy.org --please check it out.
I was 40 when my son with Ds was born and he is my fourth child. We've been very lucky and he is a very healthy child. He is adored by his siblings and he, in turn, adores them. Just last week my nine year old son had his 8 yr.old sister pinned down and was tickling her. My 22 month old Bub crawled over to big brother and started tickling big sister, too. He was giggling and beaming with pride as he joined in with the big kids. He is silly, inquisitive, engaging and a troublesome toddler all rolled in to one! He's been the perfect addition to our family.
Our life is nothing as I imagined it would be those first 72 hours after I got our prenatal diagnosis. We travel, go to all the usual school and sporting events, the zoo, church activities, eat out at restaurants--all things I worried we somehow might not be able to do with Down syndrome in our lives. I'm sure not everybody with a child with Ds has this experience but so far it is mine and our family is doing just great and we are optimistic about all of our futures!
Cry all you need to, ask questions here, and just give yourself some time. You are still having a baby and that's what you will bring home from the hospital. You don't have to figure out the whole future today, okay? I send you hugs!
Fast forward to now, Emmy will be 4 next month and all the negative things I worried about (Would we ever get to travel? Eat out? Enjoy life? Go to church, shopping, sporting events? Would we love her?, etc.) never came to pass. We discovered that life did not end with Ds - it just went in a different direction! We are having so much fun with Emma and have not stopped doing anything just because she has Ds! Honestly, Down syndrome did not change our lives as much as just become a special part of it. I never thought I would ever feel this way when I first received the diagnosis.
I know this is a very difficult time right now, but I promise you, it will not stay this way. Throw out all the preconceived notions you had growing up of people with Ds. Times have truly changed and there is so much more available to our kids and so many more opportunities. It really helped me to meet the families in our local Down syndrome group and to see how normal their lives were. In fact, we just had our monthly Ds meeting tonight and it was so neat to see all the kids playing together and to get to just sit around and talk and laugh and share ideas with others that share this common bond! We have met wonderful people because of Ds!
I wish I could give you a hug right now! Just know that we are here for you and please don't be afraid to ask any questions! This board was a lifeline for me! I'm glad you found it!
Lisa - Proud mommy of Ashlee (26), Alyssa (22), Baylie (19), and Emmy (12-14-08/T21)
Hi and welcome. You are in the right spot.
The first 24 hours (really, the first week) after getting our diagnosis was such a blur. I think we needed time to cry for what we THOUGHT we were experiencing in parenthood in order to accept the gift that we WERE getting - our daughter, who has an extra chromosome. We learned her diagnosis at 11.5 weeks, so we had seven months to know her as a gender, a diagnosis, and health problems, and that is HARD.
The good news is, she's a child now - a whole person, not just test results. She is 20 months old and a hilarious little delight. (And a little pill... hello, terrible twos!)
I can tell you the things that helped me when I was pregnant.... this board, reading blogs/seeing photos of kids with Down syndrome, downsyndromepregnancy.org, and having coffee with moms who have kids with DS. I wasn't ready to dive full on into big group events until after Ellie arrived.
Take time to be sad, and reach out to your local group. We've all been in that place of sadness. Hang out here. I'm sure we sound like we've "drunk the KoolAid" so to speak, but things really, really do get better.
Congrats on your pregnancy. So, I happen to know a family in Salt Lake City if you want help looking at local resources. PM me and I'll get you in touch with her.
This is the hardest time -- right after the diagnosis. No kidding you are in shock. I cried nonstop, and I mean nonstop, for 2 days and really didn't see the light of day for a long while. I did feel much better after talking to a local mom and seeing the clear joy she took from her child, and the relationship that they had. That was probably my biggest, and most unfounded fear - that my daughter wouldn't "know" me. In fact, people with DS have an incredible capacity for love, and it just radiates from my daughter. My now-9-year-old is one adorable snuggle bunny, and she faces each and every day with unbounded energy and excitement. She loves school, she loves her friends, she loves to dance, she loves to cheer, she loves her sister and our dog and our family. She makes it so much fun to be around her.
Abigail had a heart defect, but it was repaired at age 3, and she has overall been very healthy. She has spent less than 7 days in the hospital since birth, including for open heart surgery.
Hang in there -- you are in the black hole of emotion right now. You will climb out of it, but it could take days or weeks. Most of our expectant moms do find joy and excitement again about their pregnancy, but you have to go through the whole grief process in your own way. We are here to give you positive energy and answer questions.

HI and welcome!! My fourth pregnancy was not planned, and our fourth girl was diagnosed prenatally with DS. It was definitely a tough time - diagnosis time is really hard, and pregnancy is a roller coaster. We're here for you though! We've been there. A lot of moms here are still there, waiting for their babies to be born. The website Marsha gave you has a free pregnancy book which we wrote after talking to hundreds of moms like you, over the years, here on this board. It also has a booklet for relatives and lots of good blog posts. But here is where I hope you know you can ask anything and we will try to help. Hang in there, it gets better, and then after the baby comes it "gets great."

As I looked at your pictures of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, I was moved by the depiction of the human spirit. Every aspect was covered: the heroism of the rescues, the thankfulness for being alive, the mourning for loved ones lost, the fear and even the look of defeat.

I send my prayers to my fellow Americans. Know that the world will do what it can to help in your time of need. Keep your heads up and know that you're not alone. Stay strong and keep your faith.

So some people who refused to evacuate because they had no way to get out of town are now complaining about what they went through? Spare me! They're used to having the government provide their every need. I hope they've learned their lesson that Uncle Sam can't always get there instantly to bail you out.

Humans may not have control over Mother Nature, but they do have the ability to show empathy for those who are in need. Shame on George Bush and his Administration for the way they handled this situation. Will someone please wake me when it's November 2008!

Torrance, Calif.
The marriage of Matthew and Crystal Koso created a near split decision among readers. Letters urging the prosecution of Koso, who's been charged with statutory rape, barely edged out those arguing that the couple and their daughter should be left alone.
Absolutely, Nebraska attorney general Jon Bruning should prosecute Matthew Koso for statutory rape. Marrying Crystal, his victim, doesn't negate the fact that Koso, an adult, had sex with a child. If Koso's truly concerned about supporting their daughter Samara, he should ask for a work-release program.
Cuthbert, Ga.
Bruning would be crazy to take Matthew away from his wife and child. He can't go to jail, since the baby and Crystal need him. If Bruning doesn't change his mind, he'll be making a terrible mistake. This family is doing nothing wrong and there's a baby at stake.

Dear Abby: Photo collage brings pain to family
Dear Abby: My daughter was repeatedly date-raped at age 16. Her predator threatened to kill her if she told, so she kept it to herself until she could get away from him. It was a very scary time in her life, but with counseling she is working through it and moving on with her life.
The problem is, while visiting with my in-laws it was pointed out to us that my mother-in-law had made a collage of pictures and included in it the person who raped my daughter. There are five pictures of him in group settings. When my husband asked her calmly to remove them, she refused. She says it would punish the other grandchildren if she removed the pictures, and it would "ruin her collage." She refuses to budge. She says we all need counseling and that the request is out of line. Do you think so? -- Appalled In Illinois
Dear Appalled: Of course not! Was your mother-in-law aware of what this person had done to her granddaughter? If so, her reaction is bizarre and unbelievably insensitive.
Approach her again and ask if she would agree to take the collage to a photographer so your daughter's attacker can be digitally edited out of it. If that's not possible, perhaps she would agree to take down the collage when your family visits. But if the response to that is also negative, I wouldn't blame you if you went there rarely, if ever.
Dear Abby: What do you say to people when they tell you they will "pray for you" when you're dealing with an illness or other tragedy if you are a nonbeliever?
Statistics say 34 percent of Americans are nonbelievers, so please address this to the 34 percent who share my appreciation for the sentiment, but feel like hypocrites for playing along to reciprocate their kindness. I wonder if any of your nonbeliever readers can share how they deal with this. -- Nonbeliever, But Grateful
Dear Nonbeliever: I'm sure they will, in droves. However, because nonbelievers don't usually wear symbols indicating their nonbelief, it's understandable that someone of faith would offer comfort that way. And most people battling a serious illness welcome a "blast of positivity," whether it is couched in religious terms or not.
When someone offers to pray for you, it's usually because the person cares, knows you are sick and feels helpless to offer more. Accept it for what it is. Say thank you rather than tell the person that what they offered is, in your eyes, worthless. That's called being gracious, regardless of your religious or nonreligious convictions.
Dear Abby: My husband of eight years will not resolve his foot odor problem. We live in a small apartment, and it's humiliating when we have company and half the apartment smells like stinky feet. He refuses to wear socks, and his solution in winter is to open all the windows and turn on the fan when he returns from work. The "airing out" never completely gets rid of the smell, and I freeze. How can I get him to change? -- Fed Up In Manhattan
Dear Fed Up: Shoe repair shops sell deodorizing products. Or buy a large container of baking soda, and when your husband removes his shoes, dump some into each one. The next day the smell should be gone.

James Degale under his current trainer isnt going to fulfill his potential. Him under Adam Booth or Freddy Roach would be world champion without a doubt. Im sure he will dismantle the pole, there always brave but rarely have punching power. It shows you how unfair the ranking system is these days. Degale loses to Groves but still could get a title shot regardless? seems a but unfair to me.
