Hi Mothering friends,
We started a blog about our EC practice and would love feedback before we start sharing it widely. I know we need to put up more photos...we're getting there! Have some good ones that just need to get off the camera or saved as web files. Otherwise, what else? What questions do you think we should address, for example?
Thank you in advance! It's so nice to have this little online group to share with!!
Here is the web address:
Hopefully Bumping this up will get you suggestions. I, for one, could appreciate something on how to begin EC with an older baby, mine is 10 months and his diapers are always causing him rashes. While I could just cloth diapering, the upfront expense is too much for us rather than 20 dollars here and 20 dollars there even though disposables are more expensive in the end, for us its about the upfront costs so I'd like to try EC with my son if its not too late.

Hi you two! Both of you are interested in more information about beginning EC later.
I have read a lot about elimination communication at this point, and I've talked to quite a few people who are involved in it with their kids or who have older kids with whom they communicated in this way. What has struck me is that EC is practiced in diverse ways to suit the people involved, including at what age to begin. While I have read in a few places that there is an age at which point EC doesn't seem to make sense (the age varies depending on source), I've also read otherwise, and I've talked with people locally here that began it with 6 month olds and older and had great success as a family. So my point is that what people actually do and what books/blogs/websites may describe do not always match. Yet, we are all diverse families and find our way, and those books/blogs/websites still help a lot.
That said, what I have read about starting EC with older babies as a possibility goes something like this:
- Give your child opportunities to use a potty / bowl (whatever makes sense with your child's temperament, weight, etc.) during those very predictable times like upon waking from a nap or night sleep, perhaps, or if you have some time you are sure your child frequently goes (you know your child).
- Also, try some set and lower stress times of the day when your child can cruise around without a bottom cover. Get to know your child's behaviors, cues, and elimination patterns during those times when it will be immediately apparent what is happening. When your child eliminates, try using a sound cue (psss psss psss, for example, for pees) while it is happening. I also observe and make comments like, "You are peeing in the potty." in order to build our language around what is happening.
- If you're using wicking cloth or disposables, switch to something that gives more immediate feedback to both you and to your child, so you both can be more aware of and responsive to elimination.
Lastly, no matter at what age you are ready to begin EC, I'd say you have something in common with every other family focused on building your communication skills together with your children: the process of working out a trusting, respectful, responsive relationship that helps each achieve our developmental goals is more important than the little details of whether some pants got wet today, whether she used the potty that time and not this time, whether we forgot to use our cue or whether he ever will, etc.... The daily work isn't unimportant, of course, but the underpinning of this process is communication, respect, love.
Hi Stephanie,
I really enjoyed the post about the variety of new breastfeeding positions! Something for me to look forward to. :) I'll just put on my marketing cap for a moment and offer a few comments on the blog, with the idea in mind that you want to attract a larger audience:
- Yes, more photos! To illustrate what you're writing about. And be sure to describe what's happening in each photo.
- Bullet points and/or use of bold typeface are useful to help people skim for main points.
- If you link to other articles or blogs, let your readers know what YOUR thoughts on the topic, and in some way summarize the linked article.
- In the "About" section of the blog, offer why you chose the title "Our Daily Work."
Best wishes to you...

hi there i need school management system in php or .net to maintain the details of students and it should be updatable by teachers and the parents can view it online by their user details
Hello! if this project is still open I'd like to offer my service / estimate. Please feel free to visit my den here and shoot me an email. Thanks.

Im looking to buy an app that I can easily upload, store and manage files online and that I can also send download links to people. Anything like drop send would be awesome!
Hello, if you would like custom work I am available for freelance and would love to discuss further. You can go ahead and shoot me an email via my den
Hey guys, so I have a little project that I am working on but have come to a complete stand still. I am looking for some information that you might have on building a javascript based api with php doing the process in the background.
I am looking to create something much like the google maps api but minus the maps part of it. I am curious to how the javascript works. for example:
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=set_to_true_or_false">
As many of you know you place that inside the header tags of your page. After that you place these lines of code in script tags
<script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644); var myOptions = { zoom: 8, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); } </script>
Now my questions are:1. What kind of page is: (API key is being sent)
2. How does that page get the key, make the query, then display the map on the end user's page
If anyone has any knowledge, please feel free to respond. Thanks all!
Hello, there really isn't anything that specific on here. However, if you are open for custom work I am available for projects and would love to give an estimate. You can contact me via my den and we can talk further. Thank you.

I am looking for a form where our customers can estimate their projects. So looking for a form builder script where we can assign values to our services and insert them into a form, kinda like add ons etc, and it will display the overall price as they add these attributes.
I have an item that I have submitted here on codecanyon. You may want to check it out, or if you need something a little more in depth I am free for freelance projects.

I am looking for a form that displays optional extras that when selected updates the running total. This website has what i am looking for. http://www.scotlandforgolf.co.uk/golf-breaks-scotland/details/141/his-her-break
Does anyone out there know how this is done? Or seen one for sale in any of the envato sites?Thanks, Mears

Hi, I am looking for a script similar to this: http://lolpics.se/ & http://artige.no/ Anyone know where I can find it? Or how much you would have to code a similar page?
Hello, I can do this script for you at a price of $200. I'd loved to accept the project and would like to hear more. Please contact me via my Den and we can talk further. Thanks.
Hello, There definitely isn't this type of script on code canyon. If your looking for this and can't find it I would be more than happy to make a free lance project proposal for you. I can create this type of script and turn-a-round time is great. Please message me via my den and we can discuss further.
scarabsweepers said
I wonder if someone can put me in the right direction i have searched Code Canyon and cannot find quite what i need, even if there is a commercial option i could take a look at and evaluate if its worth paying for.?
In its basic form i want Customers and Distributors to have access/download important documents, Such as Service Bulletins , Parts Updates , Manuals etc. The documents would be either PDF , Word of Excel format.
Importantly there should be different levels of login, as some information should be kept from standard users and only for Distributors.
If anyone can help me or point in the right direction that would be great..
If you need more info let me knowregards
Hello, I am not sure of a working version off hand with these features. However, if you're open for a customized script I would love to make a proposal for a free lance project. Please message me via my den and we can discuss further.
Hello, you can contact me if you would like to re-open the freelance project. I have done this price calculator before and can show example. My languages are PHP , MYSQL, and jquery. Please message me via my den and we can talk further. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

How to Get Stronger Bones (Page 2)
1. "Stress" Your Skeleton (in a Good Way)
Anything that gets your blood pumping is good for your heart and overall health, but weight-bearing physical activities, such as walking, jogging, lifting weights and playing racquet sports, are best for keeping bones strong. When you jump, run or lift a weight, it puts pressure on your bones, which sends signals to build new cells that, ultimately, strengthen your skeleton.

On following the commentary around My TXJS
Talk by
Brendan Eich, I noticed a debate on Twitter between
@brendaneich and several developers about one particular facet in the talk: destructuring. I
wanted to take a look a this area and give some examples that illustrate
why it might be useful to JavaScript developers in general.
Is destructuring an unnecessary language feature that just lets us swap
values, or is there more to it?
Many languages include pattern matching features that make pattern
matching more expressive and concise. Pattern matching just means the
ability to check a sequence of things for a given pattern; regular
expressions are an obvious example. Functional languages include other
pattern matching features, and one is called destructuring. Common Lisp
includes a
destructuring-bind macro, and there's an example
of this in On Lisp by Paul
Graham in Destructuring on
In Clojure,
let supports abstract structural binding:
(let [[a b] [1 2 3]]
(println "a:" a " b:" b))
This will print "a: 1 b: 2". In Lisp it's easy to see why destructuring
is useful because the language is based around lists, and it has so many
useful tools for dealing with them.
As JavaScript
destructuring assignment is supported. That means you can use it in
Mozilla's interpreters and Firefox 2+. The canonical example is value
var a = 1, b = 2;
[a, b] = [b, a];
// a = 2, b = 1
That's not particularly exciting unless you need to swap around lots of
values, but what might be convenient for some APIs is the implications
it has for return values:
function f() {
return [1, 2];
var a, b;
[a, b] = f();
That's potentially useful, but also potentially confusing. Do we really
need destructuring assignment? Well, let's think about it in the context
of Lisp again. What makes destructuring useful in Lisp-like languages is
dealing with lisps. Similarly, in JavaScript the
unlocks a great deal of power and flexibility.
Destructuring assignment in the context of
Object gives
rise to this:
var o = { name: 'Alex', permissions: 'Admin', email: 'firstname.lastname@example.com' };
var {name, email} = o;
That sets a variable called
name to
'Alex' and
one called
email@example.com. Imagine
combining this with iterations over JSON returned from an API, and it
should be obvious where a lot of unnecessarily verbose code can be made
more concise.
This is a basic Destructuring Assignment 101 lesson, but as I intimated
in the last paragraph, destructuring assignment can be useful in a wider
range of situations. To read more, specifically about JavaScript
destructuring, have a look at these pages:

Finishing Touches
Your video is now complete. From a bare tape of footage only your closest friends and family would agree to watch, you have put together a properly formatted piece of video. The final stage is distribution. The third 'Publish to' section (or 'Finish Movie' under Windows XP) offers a variety of choices. All of them follow simple wizards.
If your camcorder has FireWire input, recording the finished project back to tape offers a high-quality option, ideal for archiving finished work. All you need to do is cue up a blank tape and click through the wizard. WMM will then process any portions of video requiring rendering, put your camcorder into record mode automatically and play the video out.
However, there are many more computer-friendly options. You can output to a number of different file types, so long as they are a DV AVI or WMW! The wizard will guide you through fine-tuning the settings, such as choosing a codec for file output or setting the bandwidth available to a Web audience.
WMM will even output to optical disc. However, the version included with Windows XP only offers CD output, and it doesn't actually burn VideoCDs. In typical Microsoft style, it uses a proprietary format called HighMAT instead, which is essentially WMV format on CD. You can buy set-top players which support HighMAT, but it's far from universal. Fortunately, all Windows PCs with Windows Media Player 9 or above should be able to play back a HighMAT CD.
With Windows Vista, the option to burn a regular Video DVD has become available. Choosing 'Publish to DVD' loads your project into Windows DVD Maker - an application in itself we will cover in a future tutorial.
The Windows XP version of WMM also allows you to send your movies straight to a web-based video sharing service, but this feature has been removed from Windows Vista. Instead, you will need to consult your chosen provider for the optimal submission format, and output a file from WMM which most closely conforms to these recommendations.
And there you have it. You have now taken your first steps in editing video. Best of all, the tools to try your hand are free, sitting ready and waiting for you on your PC's hard disk. In future weeks we will look at more advanced video editing techniques.

I'm not "freaking out", I'm just amused that Jim is trying to claim that the reason he found the link "interesting" was for what it claims about Hitler, and that the thinly veiled poke at Obama had nothing to do with his interest. I find that difficult to believe, but I guess if he said it it must be true.
It provoked a response from me because because this is a discussion board, that's what happens. Someone posted something they find interesting or wish to discuss, and then people respond to it. Sometimes someone makes a claim that others find hard to believe, and others try to call him out of it.
I actually don't care why he posted it, but he chose to tell us, and I do not find it believable. That is all I'm saying.

After spending almost 18 years in prison for a rape and murder he did not commit, Robert Dewey is likely to walk free on Monday. And the real murderer seems to have been identified.
Mr. Dewey, who was convicted in 1996 for the rape and murder of Jacie Taylor, in the western Colorado town of Palisade, will become the first person exonerated through Colorado's Justice Review Project, which was established in 2009 to review DNA evidence in cases where an innocent person may have been convicted. He is the 290th person in the United States to be exonerated by post-conviction DNA testing.

YOU DONT KNOW! - Heavy Metal Rap Christian
You Dont Know This is a strong message regarding hypocrites! Unfortunately even today people are judged by: How they appear - Who is part of their social network - and what they can gain from someone else - this is totally contrary to the teachings of Christ. The song is written from the point of view of a person who was unjustly judged - who is as much a Christian as any of us - but due to their appearance was cast aside - rejected and/or refused. This video was produced some time ago - and is currently used on other sites throughout the internet but is having its debut here! The song is in the process of being remixed and remastered so as soon as the new release is complete a new video will be produced.

In conjunction with its 50th anniversary, Land and General Bhd (L&G) held its Golden Jubilee Bonus in the spirit of rewarding its purchasers. According to L&G managing director Low Gay Teck, the responses received for from the Golden Jubilee Bonus has been overwhelming.
"We are very happy with the responses so far, as it is beyond our expectations. We hope that we can double our targeted sales by the end of the month," said Low.
The Golden Jubilee Bonus which started on May 1 and will continue to the end of this month, May 31, will see special packages and offers.
Among the projects promoted during this special bonus promotion include the company's latest developments, namely Damansara Foresta in Sri Damansara and The Elements in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
Damansara Foresta is a high-end condominium sitting on 43 acres of freehold land located adjacent to the Bukit Lanjan Forest Reserve. The units range from 1,400 sq ft to 1,600 sq ft and are priced approximately between RM800,000 and RM1mil. Phase one of Damansara Foresta was launched in 2012 with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM800mil and 95% of the units have already been sold.
Meanwhile, The Elements is a premier lifestyle residential serviced apartment located within the KL City Centre. This development was launched in 2011 with an estimated GDV of RM800mil and a take up rate of 96%. The sizes of the units range from 520 sq ft to 1,570 sq ft and are priced between RM800,000 and RM1.5mil. The handover of vacant possession of The Elements will take place these couple of months.
Yet to be unveiled, this upcoming project will be located on 5.7 acres (2.3 hectares) of land, situated right next to The Elements in Jalan Ampang. "This project is our new serviced apartment consisting of about 1,000 units with four 45-storey towers. We will be incorporating four acres of greenery and in-house facilities to promote a healthy lifestyle for our residents," shared Low.
In the pipelines are plans for another 2 projects, Foresta Phase 2 and Tunku Jaafar Resort Home that are targeted to launch within the next 12 months.
L&G also has future plans to develop more projects in the Klang Valley.

Former Texas A&M LB Von Miller did not nothing to hurt the perception that he's a potential top-five draft pick with his showing at the NFL scouting combine Monday.
Widely regarded as one of the top edge-rushing prospects in the draft, along with UNC DE Robert Quinn, Miller ran a 4.53 40-yard dash, vertically jumped 37 inches, broad-jumped 10 1/2 feet, benched 225 pounds 21 times and looked agile in on-field drills.
Miller, last year's Butkus Award winner, seems to be a natural fit for the Buffalo Bills (No. 3 pick) Arizona Cardinals (No. 5) or San Francisco 49ers (No. 7) ... assuming he lasts that long.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Ron Kamrowski has written this book to share the experiences of using a metal detector. Most writings of this nature deal with the workings of a metal detector, this work contains actual events to explain that there are literally millions of places to search. Untouched areas abound in the United States where history, although only dating a few centuries, can be discovered in your own backyard

The Lost Worlds of Ancient America: Compelling Evidence of Ancient Immigrants, Lost Technologies, and Places of Power
While digging out a new basement near Los Angeles, homeowners accidentally unearth a 3,000-year-old Phoenician altar.
A treasure-hunter in Ohio finds more than he expected, when his metal detector locates an Eastern Mediterranean pendant from 1000 bc.
Two caches of coins minted in Imperial Rome surface along the Ohio River.
A Smithsonian Institution archaeologist excavating a Native American burial mound in Tennessee removes a stone emblazoned with a second century Hebrew inscription.
These are just a few of the dramatic finds described in The Lost Worlds of Ancient America. They confirm that our continent was visited and influenced by visitors from Europe and the Near East hundreds, even thousands of years before its "official" discovery in 1492. As such, this startling, fresh proof of their powerful impact on the pre-Columbian New World offers us a different view of American origins that threatens to re-write mainstream textbooks
Metal Detecting: An Essential Guide to Detecting Inland, On Beaches and Under Water
Since the appearance of the first commercially available metal detectors in the 1960s, the hobby of metal detecting has developed rapidly and, as the technology has improved, more and more people have become metal detectorists. This is not surprising since metal detecting is an enjoyable and exciting leisure-time pursuit that is accessible to almost everybody, regardless of age or fitness. Moreover, metal detecting need not be an expensive hobby and there is a wide range of metal detectors to suit almost every budget. Contents include how to go about buying your first detector, the principal types of detectors, their advantages and disadvantages and how to use them, how to recover and identify buried objects and clean them, detecting inland, on beaches, and underwater, and the safety precautions required in all three environments, and the law relating to metal detecting, how to research for potential sites, and how to gain the necessary permission to search on private land
Commander's Ghost Town Gold: Where and How to Find Your Fortune, One Week at a Time
IF you have a GPS Unit, then we have the Coordinates to FINDING YOUR FORTUNE! Weekend adventures can make you RICH! They say "When you die you can't take your money with you". Therefore, be thankful for Ghost Towns! There are THOUSANDS of Ghost Towns across America, in fact Nevada has over 600 ghost towns and mining camps, many of which little remains but a few concrete slabs and crumbling rock walls and the state is pockmarked with over 500,000 old mines. This book is the most complete book of its kind, listing Ghost Towns not only by state, but actually giving you the GPS locations of each Ghost Town! This book is actually two books in one: Book One – How to identify rare coins and know their value! Book Two – Massive State by State GPS listing of American Ghost Towns! Finding lost treasures has never been so easy. Just punch in the coordinates and head off to find your fortune in lost treasure. A ghost town is a completely abandoned town or city. A town often becomes a ghost because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as a flood, government action, uncontrolled lawlessness, or war. For example, most western ghost towns were once mining towns, built during the booms that began in California in 1849 and continued into the early twentieth century on the promise of profits to be realized from a region's abundant mineral deposits. As mineral strikes slowed, prospectors and those providing them their goods and services such as merchants, saloon owners, bankers, and prostitutes left homes and businesses. Most left, sometimes so abruptly that towns were often left in a state of suspended animation, with displays still standing in shop windows, bottles and glasses on saloon tables, and the shelves of abandoned cabins lined with pieces of crockery. Calamity and natural disaster created Ghost Towns as well. Thousands fled the area and thousands upon thousands, at times died never able retrieve their hidden fortunes. Now you have the information needed to find those caches, where ONE SINGLE coin could bring as much as $7.9 MILLION DOLLARS.

Gold Warriors: America's Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold
In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This 'Black Gold' gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years

Tips on Reducing Heat Related Illnesses
Posted on Jun 29, 2011
Don't give up! The sun is back and with it, higher temperatues.
Enjoy the heat and the sunshine this holiday weekend and remember:
• Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity such as running, biking and lawn care work when it heats up. Confine strenuous activity or tasks to the coolest part of the day.
• Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library – even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat.
• Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
• Dress for the heat: Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing that is loose fitting, sun glasses, a wide brim hat or an umbrella.
• If you have breathing problems, like asthma – especially on a 'spare the air day,' try to stay indoors. Air conditioning helps.

We have a running joke at the office that our marketing department and IT department are mortal enemies. We imagine that each is a fortified tower waging war on the other through long ranged ballistics and industrial espionage. In reality this couldn't be further from the truth. For other companies, this is an under-exaggeration.
Over the last eight years I've had the privilege of working side by side with one of the most revered internet marketers in the country. We've run several companies together in that time, me directing IT and him directing marketing. Starting out, neither of us knew much about each other's craft, but we knew they were both vital components to any digital business.
After years of product launches and client projects, we've come to learn a great deal from one another and now have a firm understanding of how and why marketing needs to be involved with development, and vice versa.
From an IT perspective, understanding the core needs of the internet marketing team enables you to lay the proper foundation for a technical project that will allow marketing to execute their goals. From a marketing perspective, knowing the fundamentals of how a technology functions will let a team optimize the strategy to suite the product, as well as better communicate their needs to IT.
It goes without saying that one department relies heavily on the other for success. Without marketing, your brilliant piece of software will never see the light of day. Without development, marking won't have the ability to execute their directives, or may not have a product to market at all.
When I say that your internet marketing team needs to move in with your IT team, I mean that literally. In our office, I share a workspace with a colleague from marketing. The head of marketing? He shares a workspace with a colleague from development. We're aware of what each team is doing and we communicate constantly. This ensures that one team never gets too far detached from the other.
This arrangement is the result of consulting for dozens of larger companies whose marketing and development departments are completely segregated. Marketing is at war with development because the technology IT guards the gates to is preventing marketing from producing the results they need. Development will work behind closed doors to build a product which, while technically sound, is damaging to marketing efforts and too costly to undo.
This stems from some basic problems on each side.
IT Problems
Lack of communication
Not understanding the basics of internet marketing
What's easiest,best, or most efficient technically may not be best for marketing
Marketing often regarded as a burden
Tendency to stick to what they know rather than the proper tool for the job
Marketing Problems
Lack of communication
Failure to consider needs at the planning stage
Poorly constructed requirements
Not understanding the basics of the technology
By bringing these two teams together, each will learn to anticipate the needs of the other. Development will start structuring new projects with flexible URL routing to allow for SEO. They will plan ahead to facilitate dynamic meta information, conversion code injection, remarketing, and rich snippet markup. Marketing will tailor their efforts to take advantage of greater access to these resources which can now be executed quickly and easily thanks to the anticipation.. After a while it will be harmonious and both groups will benefit. When these two groups benefit, the business as a whole benefits, and that is the ultimate goal.
While we do still wage war between IT and marketing, the rivalry has become a contest to see who can use the combined knowledge to produce greater results.

Ask Jeeves: This Butler Didn't Do It
When I think of butlers, what comes to mind is a stoic, loyal manservant who almost invisibly runs a household, relieving his master of pesky day-to-day decisions and serving as the confidant who never criticizes. Almost invariably, he makes the right choice (except when "the butler did it"). And he speaks with a clipped British accent--when spoken to.
So when I heard a butler was available on the Internet, I had to check him out. Could he live up to the movie butlers of my youth? Who better to resolve those nagging questions I could never pose to mere friends? Such as, "Why can't I wear brown shoes with a blue suit?"
SOARING STOCK. Perhaps my expectations were too high. "Ask Jeeves" (www. ask.com) is a search engine that promises to respond to questions phrased in natural English instead of the keywords or precise Boolean expressions other search engines require. And he comes most highly recommended: When Ask Jeeves went public on July 1, shares almost quintupled.
But what a bumbling butler this is. I asked a series of questions, many of which he simply ignored, having no answer at all to offer. For some, he had the temerity to suggest that his ignorance was my fault, that I had misspelled something, which I had not. To his credit, after he took his feeble stab at each question, he also consulted better-known search engines, though Jeeves says he filters those "finds" to get rid of irrelevant flotsam. Separately, I did searches on AltaVista, HotBot, Excite, and Yahoo! to assess Jeeves's skill. The bottom line: Jeeves was outclassed by his more mundane brethren.
My first question was: "Who is John Crean?" Crean is the founder and former chairman of recreational-vehicle maker Fleetwood Enterprises. (He can afford his own butler.) He also has his own cooking show on public television. Jeeves drew a blank. Other search engines linked Crean to both the company and the show on their first page of results. Yahoo! produced nine correct responses.
Then I asked: "How do I make paella?" Jeeves passed on this one, too. His referrals to other search engines turned up a mixed bag of recipes, restaurants, and paella pans. By far the best results came from my separate inquiry on AltaVista, which also allows searches in question form. Its top 10 hits produced seven different recipes. That's what I asked for.
Ask Jeeves handles shopping questions slightly differently. In the movies, taking kickbacks from merchants would be grounds for a butler's dismissal. Jeeves cheerfully admits taking fees to feature certain companies on search results. His services are free to me, but even a virtual butler must make a living. I wanted one of those Walkman-like devices to play back music downloaded from the Internet, so I asked: "Where can I buy a Rio MP3 player?"
WRONG AGAIN. I shouldn't have been shocked when Jeeves whisked me off to the Sharper Image Web site, a provisioner of gadgets to the carriage trade at prices to match. But by questing for a handsome commission, Jeeves outfoxed himself: The upscale merchant doesn't even carry MP3 players. Yahoo! and AltaVista provided links to shopping bot www.bottomdollar. com, which let me find the cheapest supplier. A proper butler would have known that's more my style.
Finally, I asked Jeeves how many liters are in a jeroboam, something every respectable butler should know. Jeeves produced a useless metric-conversion table with no reference to wine-bottle sizes. When I typed "jeroboam" into search engines, I got wining and dining links that gave the correct answer (3 or 4.5 liters, depending on whether one pours a conventional or sparkling wine). At www. butlersguild.com, home of the International Guild of Professional Butlers, I found an "Ask Jeeves" E-mail link, presumably to a real butler fielding etiquette inquiries. I sent my question. The next day, I got a listing of all bottle sizes. This Jeeves also politely admonished that while I could pour from a three-liter jeroboam at table, there's a "fair chance" I'd ruin the tablecloth.
My advice? If you need a search engine, use a search engine. If you need a butler, find a real one. Ask Jeeves handles neither job with the confidence and savoir faire of a professional.

Power of Thin
Channel your subconscious through hypnosis to lose weight forever.Top Rated Diets of 2017
- Established: May 2012
- Author: Steve G. Jones, Frank Mangano
- Accessibility: Book
- Diet Type: Hypnosis
- Gender: Male and female
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
Power of Thin is a newly released book that focuses on changing your thinking in order to change your weight. This book was written by Steve G. Jones and Frank Mangano. Jones is a clinical hypnotherapist and has written 22 books on hypnosis. Mangano is an author of many books and reports dealing with natural health topics. Power of Thin shows you how to use the Laws of Attraction to attract weight loss to your body and hypnosis to keep the weight off permanently. Hypnosis is the added element for success within Power of Thin that many other weight loss plans are lacking. The book focuses on changing the way you think because about 85 percent of your actions come from your thoughts. Some of the important topics covered include how to stop binge eating, exercise, food choices and the components of a hypnosis session. You will also learn the basics of healthy living and eating. There are also plenty of recipes that you can follow as well.PRO
- Encourages healthy eating and exercise
- Addresses mentality for losing weight
- Includes recipes
- Written by two professionals in this field
- None to speak of
Power of Thin gives you food choices that will lead to weight loss as well as advice to stop binge eating and keep the weight off for good. You will learn to make the food choices that your body actually wants while using this program. The book discusses how some foods have been proven to cause negative emotions and there is a chapter titled 10 foods you should never eat again. Some of the tidbits of advice given when it comes to food choices include:
- Start approaching food intentionally – ask yourself some important questions before making a food decision.
- Eat intuitively – let your fruits and vegetables speak to you as you shop at the grocery store.
- Eat with the season, eat local – find foods that have been grown or raised as close to your home as possible.
- Make sure you are eating whole foods – avoid foods that are processed or filled with chemicals and preservatives.
- Learn to cook – when you cook at home, you know exactly what is going into your food.
As previously mentioned, there are ten foods listed that you should never eat again. These foods are all unhealthy and can lead to wanting more unhealthy foods. The foods on that list include soda, diet soda, foods with transfat, fast food, French fries, frozen dinners and movie-theater and microwave popcorn. Removing these foods from your diet helps with weight loss because they are all filled with chemicals and deter you from eating natural foods.EXERCISE
Power of Thin includes chapters on exercise, stretching and the power of being active. Exercise is definitely a large focus for the Power of Thin program. There is some helpful information on getting motivated to start exercising. For those that lack the motivation, you can use many of the same laws of attraction outlined in the book to change that. Instead of focusing on how difficult it is to exercise or how unmotivated you feel think about the positive aspects of exercise. When you start to have those negative feelings, go over a list of reasons that you want to achieve a healthier weight. This will lift your spirits and help you get moving.
If that doesn't work you can focus on what you love about exercise. You are encouraged to open your mind to all forms of exercise so that you can truly find something you love. Exercise will work to increase your energy and make you feel better. Exercise can also offer benefits to your brain. Some of the tips for exercising you will find in the book are listed below.
- Take a daily log of what you do each hour to find wasted time that you can fit in a workout
- Commit yourself to new activities
- Set aside time for exercise and use it
- Reward yourself for good behavior with a non-food prize
Including exercise is an important element when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. You need to make time for exercise on a regular basis so that it becomes part of your lifestyle. The book offers some recommendations for various exercises that you can try until you find something you like including:
- Belly dancing
- Salsa
- Zumba
- Rock climbing
- Hiking
Power of Thin includes the needed elements for permanent weight loss if you follow the information given. The book includes details about proper eating, exercise and making subconscious changes that will help you stay motivated and change your body for the better. Power of Thin offers sound advice and can be the final solution to any weight problems.Common Misspellings

(Wish I could fly like) Superman ...
Research ››› ››› ERIC ALTERMAN
I've got a new Think Again column called "Bible Class," in which I examine last week's Torah portion, Numbers 13/14, in light of the Bush administration's deliberate scare tactics, here, and a new Nation column on the liberals and indecency, violence, disrespect for women, etc., in culture, with a short appreciation of Richard Rorty, called "The Liberal Voice," here .
If you wanted to find the root problem of how and why the Bush administration has screwed up the world, the answer I think lies less in the fact of 9-11 than in the opportunity that 9-11 gave the neocons to implement a strategy they that long sought. This is not even remotely to say the same thing as the fact that they planned or allowed 9-11 to happen. (I once had to leave the Air America studio while co-hosting with Janeane G because she was buying into this argument sans, of course, evidence.) It is merely to note that had it not been 9-11, it would likely have been something else. And you can find its most pristine expression here from the man Matt Y called "America's Worst Pundit," Charles Krauthammer, who announced in February 2001: "America is no mere international citizen. It is the dominant power in the world, more dominant than any since Rome. Accordingly, America is in a position to reshape norms, alter expectations and create new realities. How? By unapologetic and implacable demonstrations of will."
Am I the only one who detects more than a whiff of fascism in this naked celebration of the triumph of our "will"?
I'm as regretful as anyone for the various catastrophes visited upon the innocent, including our own soldiers, by the administration's myriad failures to do anything right at all in Iraq, but just imagine what might have been in store had they gotten their "cakewalk." Hubris like that expressed by Krauthammer, and embraced by the ruling elite of this nation, is an engraved invitation to humiliation, whether by "God" or by the natural laws of history and the universe as we know it. How sad, from the point of simple justice, that Krauthammer and his ilk will suffer not even a fraction of the consequences visited on the soldiers, their families, the Iraqis, and all the other people who die, are maimed, or simply see their lives ruined as a result. And what a colossal indictment of our political culture that such talk was ever taken seriously (particularly without the excuse of 9-11 -- which by 2003, to be honest, was not really much of an excuse anymore).
The fact that "Vitriol Proliferates on Jewish Blogs," as the Forward reports here, is a regrettable thing in and of itself, but I have to say, particularly in my life, because it is deeply annoying to be called a Nazi-enabler in the same week that you are accused of being in AIPAC's pocket by people who are, in most cases, idiots, but -- this being the blogosphere -- there is not always a way to tell that right away. Richard Silverstein had a it a lot worse, though. (As did, I suppose, Philip Roth.)
Here's a snippet: "The fake blog, called 'Little Dickie's Diaper Droppings,' wasn't pretty. In addition to the scatological references, the site was riddled with graphic sexual innuendo. Even Silverstein's children were targets: Underneath a photograph of Silverstein and his 4-year-old son baking cookies -- lifted from the blogger's own Web site -- was a caption claiming that the two were making a bomb to put on an Israeli school bus. The site listed the longtime peace activist's favorite book as Mein Kampf."
Campus Progress editor Ben Adler had a piece yesterday (originally in The American Prospect) filleting the new conservative pro-suburban sprawl reactionary movement. He writes: "The pro-sprawl reaction, a sort of Reaganomics of urban planning, betrays many of the peculiar traits of modern conservatism: the impulse to demonize any opposition, no matter how minimal or common-sense, and a proclivity to selectively pull bits of information out of context."
I came rather late to the "Mudcat" Saunders flap, and it doesn't really need my participation, but lest I be accused of being overly egocentric, an enterprising commenter on it has put together a list of my fraternity of people upon whom Joe Klein showers personal insults while lecturing us about manners, and it's too good not to print here:
Eric Alterman: "futile and pathetic", narcissistic, lazy, peripheral, inaccurate, foolish, silly...
Reason: "has been on my case"
Duncan Black: "illiberal leftist", Extremist (demoted to: "extremely smug")
Reason: Atrios has been mostly correct over the last few years (and called Joe Klein a wanker)
Noam Chomsky: "America Hater"
Reason: No explanation whatsoever
John Edwards: "Edwards' line of work: ambulance-chaser"
"skeevy ambulance chasers (probably) contributing to his campaign"
Reason: Edwards is a Democrat with money
Al Gore: "a smug, stubborn, and aloof human being", "harsh and stupid", "Gore's populism reeked of resentment and neurosis", "looked like a madman"
Reason: (ad hominem)
John Kerry: effete, awkward, aristocratic, Frenchy jerk
Reason: false claim that Kerry focus-grouped his Abu Ghraib response (a claim which Klein used to plug his book)
Paul Krugman: "fool", "ill-informed dilettante"
Reason: Krugman said that those who argue for an failed escalation in the Iraq war are either cynical or delusional
Media Matters: "thought police"
Reason: Media Matters highlighted Klein's use of a Republican cliché
Michael Moore: "a disgrace"
Reason: Took 9/11 victims to get free healthcare in Cuba
Markos Moulitsas: "dangerous extremist" "Robespierre"
Reason: Kos believes in the efficacy of democratic primary elections
Al Sharpton: "a race-hustling phony" "a dangerous buffoon"
Reason: Sharpton asks too many questions, leads "phony protests"
[Eric notes: I agree with Joe on that one.]
Joe Klein on Democrats in general:
"a party with absolutely no redeeming social value"
"They seem as confused as Democrats normally do"
"make fools of themselves even when they speak the truth"
"the perpetually benighted Donkey party"
"It's a really boring and flat party."
"the Democratic Party has had a love affair with eggheads, and sad to say, high IQ is not a leading indicator of success in the presidency."
"unable to creatively engage or oppose President Bush-or even to start an interesting fight among themselves"
Joe Klein on about everybody on "The Left":
"the take-no-prisoners left"
"illiberal leftists and reactionary progressives"
"rooting for an American failure"
"assume every U.S. military action abroad is criminal"
"a need, born of intellectual myopia and insecurity, to burn heretics"
"The default position of leftists like, say, Michael Moore and many writers at The Nation, is that America is essentially a malignant, imperialistic force in the world and the use of American military power is almost always wrong."

What a way to come back from some time off (from work and Altercation), to learn that DAVID BOSSIE has resurfaced from whatever swamp he sunk into. It's bad enough we've got Jeff Gerth rewriting his crappy Whitewater reporting, but with Bossie we'll get rehashing of Clinton's black love child and how Vince Foster was killed in a safehouse owned by Hillary Clinton.

Eric --
1. Kudos to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals panel that rebuked Bush's overreaching. But we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves just yet. The decision of the three-judge panel was 2-1, and there's every reason to fear that there are more justices on the Supreme Court who think like the one than like the two.
2. A propos of your exchange with Joe Klein, how did you resist following up your "Hey Joe" with "where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

Harley from Ontario got it wrong -- Jim Nabors is not a stutterer. Nabors does have a strong southern accent which disappears entirely when he sings. Perhaps Harley was thinking of Mel Tillis -- the country singer who does stutter.
I once worked with a software engineer who had the most pronounced stutter I've ever heard. The guy was brilliant, and when he spoke everyone would stop and listen no matter how long it took for him to get the words out, because whatever he had to say was always worth listening to. He helped found a number of successful start-ups, and also sings in the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir.

Awesome drasha on the Parsha there. You know, I sent an email to my right wing friends: be careful what you ask for, the secular left wing guys are learning Torah now!

Cloistered Nuns Secure Worldwide Music Distribution
Amazing. Beautiful. Necessary. – It's difficult to find the right words to describe the angelically perfect sound of Advent At Ephesus – an upcoming release by the De Montfort Music Label.
This story is special for a number of reasons.
First, the nuns who perform on Advent at Ephesus live a cloistered life. Their mission in the words of the order's Prioress, Mother Cecilia (fitting name) is that "we only desire the salvation of souls, and that all be done for His greater glory and the honor of Our Lady." Mother Cecilia left a secular career with the Columbus, Ohio Symphony to enter religious life.
Second, music industry veterans Kevin and Monica Fitzgibbons discovered the beautiful sound of the Sisters. Through their music label de Montfort Music, they successfully enlisted Grammy® and Oscar® winning producer Glenn Rosenstein to set up a mobile recording studio at the convent to produce the album.
"From the very first note we heard from The Benedictines of Mary – through the recording their first major international release – we believed in their captivating musical talents," said De Montfort Music CEO Kevin Fitzgibbons. "It is representative of artistic beauty and truth across the ages. This music is timeless."
Third, and perhaps providential is that the Sisters and de Montfort Music obtained international distribution through Decca Records (part of Universal Music Group), the worlds largest music content company.
Fourth and most incredible is the actual music. The word "amazing" is true but far from enough. The word "beautiful" is also accurate and much closer to describing the sound. The word "necessary" suggests the importance of sacred music in our secular world. Individually, none of the above words do Advent of Ephesus justice. Together the adjectives merely come close to describing the wonder that is to be available on November 20.
Already pre-sales on Amazon has Advent of Ephesus rising the charts. My suggestion to readers is that we make this album number one in classical sales! It's important to show the world that there is demand for sacred and beautiful music.
Purchase the Album before it's available:

We're on an economic rollercoaster, and there's no telling where the track will twist next. It's almost impossible to attend any networking or professional development events without hearing another tale of a resource centre shutting down, redundancies, cost cutting and other tales of financial woe.
Which makes Veronica Kennard's recently published FUMSI article all the more timely. Veronica, an industry veteran who has led the information department of Rothschild since 1991, has seen her share of ups and downs, and she offers practical advice for surviving and even thriving in a down economy. Among her top tips are the following gems:
Understand how a downturn changes your employer's business focus
Provide the right resources to reflect these changes
Have clear usage figures so you can contain costs
Train end-users to use information services cost-effectively
Update your core skills - and be visible!
In other words, it's possible to become more rather than less valuable, when times get tough. Be nimble, be well-trained, be informed and be indispensible!
Some skill-sets never seem to go out of style, no matter what's happening in the larger economy. For example, our ongoing relationships with recruiters and employers through our Jinfo service have given us the insight that qualified records managers are in high demand. Regardless of economic hardship, organisations are beholden to statutes and regulations that demand rigorous standards of records management.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/2/2013 (1598 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The town of Waskada is mourning the death of a local pilot, the man's two sons and another boy who was a family friend, all killed in a plane crash Sunday near the southwestern Manitoba community.
RCMP confirmed today the 37 year-old pilot, his sons, ages nine and 10, and another nine-year-old boy died in the crash.
While the RCMP has not identified the victims, residents say pilot Darren Spence and his sons Gage, 10, and Logan, 9, were killed in the crash.
Another nine-year-old boy, Dawson Pentecost, also died, according to residents.
The three boys are students of Waskada School, and a sign outside the building this morning said: 'Forever in our hearts Dawson Gage Logan Darren.'
Initial reports indicate the plane left from a private airfield at about 1 p.m, and was reported overdue two hours later.
The downed aircraft was spotted at around 7 p.m. yesterday, about a kilometre from where it had taken off. The crash scene is reported to be in an open field.
Waskada is about 300 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg near the Saskatchewan and North Dakota borders.
Darren Spence was involved in a family crop-spraying business. But it's believed he had taken the boys on a pleasure flight Sunday afternoon aboard a Cessna 210. By 6 p.m., RCMP were notified the plane was overdue.
The plane was found with the help of Canadian Forces search and rescue technicians, according to RCMP from the Killarney detachment.
"It's a pretty rough day around here," said the man this morning. He had known Spence for about six years, mostly through work at a chemical company that supplied the mixture for crop dusting.
The man, who did not want his name used, said Spence was always friendly, taking time to make others feel at ease with a kind word or friendly smile.
Meanwhile, a spokesman with the 17 Wing air base in Winnipeg confirmed search and rescue technicians from 435 Squadron parachuted to the crash scene.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has a team of investigators heading to the site of an accident this morning involving the Cessna 210.
Counsellors specializing in grief and mental health are at the ready at Waskada School as it attempts to come to grips with losing three of its own.
The counsellors were in place by 8 a.m. today as children in the K-12 school arrive for the day.
"We're fielding calls from parents who have just informed their children (about the plane crash). The school is open as a counselling service right now. It may be like that for the rest of the week," said Brian Spurrill, secretary treasurer with Southwest Horizon School Division.
He said losing three young boys, one each in Grade 4, 5 and 6, is tragic both for the community and the school division.
"It's all very new for us. We certainly haven't dealt with anything of this magnitude before," he said. "It's a very close-knit community a great community school. Our hearts go out to the parents of the one family and to the grandparents of the other family."
Late Sunday night, Waskada Mayor Gary Williams said news of the horrific crash was just beginning to spread.
"It's going to be tough," he said. "... once Monday comes and people start their normal day, their normal routines, it's going to be a real shock.
"(The boys) went to a small school, and every kid sees the other kids every day," he said, adding the family is well known in the community.
The crash scene is about 10 kilometres north of Waskada.
The town is located about 300 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg near the Saskatchewan and North Dakota borders.
According to a spokesman with the Transportation Safety Board, there was a more than five-hour delay from when the aircraft first sent out an emergency locator transmitter signal and when the wreckage was finally found.
Peter Hildebrand, regional manager of the TSB's central region, said the signal started at 1:17 p.m. on Sunday but because it was an older model and didn't carry any information about the owner, investigators had to verify that the signal wasn't malfunctioning.
After the delay, the Air Force sent out a C-130 to investigate. It discovered the downed Cessna 210-C "around 6 or 7 p.m." about 10 kilometres north of town.
Hildebrand said the signal, referred to as an "ELT" in industry parlance, can be activated in the air by the pilot but it is most commonly set off upon impacting the ground.
"It has an impact switch, which sends out the signal automatically. What happened here, Hildebrand said it's too early to tell if weather was a factor, but he did acknowledge that it was cloudy and snowing at the time of the crash.
"There are a lot of possibilities. We don't really have anything (specific) that we're honing in on right now. We have weather information from Brandon but we're going to have to get more detailed information from other sources. Weather is one of the things being looked at," he said.
Once activated, the signal is picked up via satellite by the Air Force rescue coordination centre in Trenton, Ont., which then relays the details to local authorities.
"We don't know," Hildebrand said.
The length of the TSB investigation will depend largely on what they find. Hildebrand cautioned that they don't always do full investigations on accidents involving private aircraft.
"What we're looking for is to advance transportation safety. With a private aircraft, there is less risk to the travelling public. Technical issues and issues of operational control, those are more for commercial (aircraft). Sometimes the facts are very clear and further investigation wouldn't bring about any improvement to the transportation system," he said.
The Cessna 210 Centurion is a six-seat, high-performance, retractable-gear single-engine general aviation aircraft which was first flown in January 1957 and produced by Cessna until 1985.

To experiment with a beautiful example of geometry in nature;
To study an important family of polar curves.
The helper application tutorial for your computer algebra system;
An understanding of semilog (and log-log) graphing;
An understanding of polar coordinates and their relationship to Cartesian coordinates;
Some familiarity with parametric representations of curves;
The Chain Rule.
A printer -- useful, but not required.
We have included this module in our Multivariable Calculus collection because that's where our students take up polar and parametric representations. However, students who already know about these representations could do this module in Differential Calculus.
We recommend that the instructor provide a printed copy of the figure in Part 3 for each student team, although it is possible to take the measurements on a monitor screen. We also recommend metric rulers, if available. Students using English units tend to get wrapped up in sixteenths and thirty-seconds rather than using short decimal approximations.
A caution: There is a tendency for several of the smaller radii in different directions to come out the same -- that is, to have three or four data points on a horizontal line. This is not "wrong," in spite of the visual evidence that r is growing -- it's just an artifact of the relatively imprecise measurements at the start. For the larger measurements, this is not a problem. Students should be encouraged to determine their parameters from measurements in which they have more confidence.
Students will undoubtedly notice that we have provided a complete set of data. However, our experience has been that they prefer to use their own data -- and they certainly get more out of the module if they have that sense of "ownership" of the problem.
Another caution: Students who have used logarithmic plotting to find formulas will generally remember -- or be forced to remember, if their formula doesn't produce a reasonable graph -- that the semilog or log-log plot is showing them logarithms of the numbers in the data. Thus, in Part 3 they have to use logarithms to find the slope of the line as one of their parameters. However, they may be confused about whether to use logs base 10 or base e. The logarithmic plotting routines always use base 10 -- but it doesn't matter as far as the linear shape of the graph is concerned. It does matter when you exponentiate, however -- the bases have to match. In Maple, for example, this point is obscured -- students type log, which means ln to Maple, and when they define a function by exp, it comes out right. On the other hand, in Mathcad, log and ln are distinct functions, so one must either use ln to get the slope and exp to define the function or use log and 10^. If there is a mismatch, it shows up in step 5 of Part 3 as a reasonable-looking curve that just doesn't line up with the data points.
Our editor, Jerry Porter, has observed that calculating the angle between radius and tangent by using the dot product is a nice linear algebra problem. That could also be done in a multivariable calculus course, where dot product is a standard topic. We have not included this in the module because our students do this module before any vectors appear in the calculus course, and few if any have taken or are taking a linear algebra course. However, this would make a nice follow-up homework or test problem once the dot product has been introduced.

We spent New Year's Day at home. After a gray, damp morning walk, we prepared for my mother's arrival. It was a planned hand-off to free my sister, Bonnie, to spend the day with friends in Punaluu.
I admit we were worried. My mother turns 99 in May. She gets around her house in Kahala with a walker, which is an improvement over a few months ago. The house is small, but she tires easily as she moves from her favorite chair to the dining table, then back to her bedroom. Getting from Kahala to Straub Hospital is now a long trip for her, and I thought perhaps she had made her last trip out to see our house. But I was wrong. Given the choice of having us drive into town to stay with her for the day, and driving out to Kaaawa, she chose the drive.
We knew getting into our house wasn't going to be easy, especially since she has trouble with stairs. When they arrived, we explained the choices. My mom is very hard of hearing, so getting a message like this across took a lot of slow talking and repeating, a little acting out. The choices were simple. Take the concrete walk which involves going down and then back up a few stairs before reaching the stairs up to the front door. The option–maneuver across the front lawn, which was wet, possibly slippery, and a bit muddy after the morning of rain, then get up the stairs to the front door. Fewer stairs on this path, but just as many obstacles.
She surprised me. With a little assistance, she made good time across the lawn. Then, with continued assistance, she slowly made it up the stairs, one at a time, pausing briefly to recover at each level, a few quick breaths, then challenging another step. Repeat. And then we were in the house!
Another little shuffle as Meda retrieved the walker, attempted to clean the mud off the wheels, and then gathered my mother's supplies while she propelled her walker towards a chair on the other side of our living room.
Her stuff went with her. There was a colorful paper shopping bag with a ribbon, containing presents for us that she had put in a "safe place" and then couldn't find in time for Christmas delivery. A book about varieties of grapes and wines. A large paperback book, "The Illustrated Cat," with classic cat drawings, photos, and paintings, a sure hit in this feline-friendly household. A small plastic container with some of Bonnie's freshly baked cookies. A second wicker bag had the morning's newspaper, her reading glasses, a baggie with medicines, each carefully labelled with instructions for us.
After getting settled, she gave the house a careful inspection. We know that she's sure to find the dust and cat hair missed in our quick pre-arrival sweeping, the cobwebs in hidden corners, and other signs of our sometimes half-hearted attempts at cleaning. Today she didn't say anything. Relief on our side. She took in the paintings on the far wall. The kitchen, looking pretty neat for a change. Then she picked up her newspaper and disappeared into it for a while.
That gave Ms. Kili an opening. She was the first cat to come out of hiding. Whenever someone else comes to visit, the cats disappear. But today, Kili soon strolled back into the living room, looked around, and went straight to my mother's chair. Her first approach was at ground level, sniffing the bags at my mother's feet, checking out the walker. Then she moved up onto the little coffee table in front of the chair. The next move with a more direct greeting. I managed to find a camera in time to capture the moment.
(click on either photo to see a larger version)
Within an hour or so, after finishing the newspaper and a cup of peach tea, my mother decided it was time for a nap. We escorted her down the hall to our bedroom. There had been three cats sleeping on the bed, but only Romeo stayed put as she lay down and got comfortable.
Perhaps she thought I had shooed them off. She looked at Romeo, then looked up at me.
"I don't mind the cats," she said. Then she pulled up the comforter, created a warm cocoon, and was asleep.
