Top Sea Kayaking Destinations
Picture yourself paddling into a secluded cove, gliding silently beside seals, otters, sea birds, and maybe even whales. Bald eagles soar overhead, and kingfishers chatter in the distance. All this can be yours when you head out on a sea kayaking expedition to one of the sites on the list below.
Abalone Cove to Royal Palms State Beach, California
This gorgeous stretch of the southern California coast leads you past deserted beaches, wooded shores, and mysterious sea caves. Bring a picnic lunch and hop out of your kayak for some of the best tide pool viewing you'll find anywhere.
Misty Fjords National Monument, Alaska
This gorgeous hidden gem is a delight to kayak. You'll find incredible beauty at the most popular destinations -- Rudyerd Bay and Walker Cove. But be sure to paddle off the beaten path for an isolated look at wildlife and these lovely shores.
Peace River Fossil Hunt, Florida
Southern Florida is famous for its palm trees and turquoise waters…and its kayaking. From the coast, head up the Peace River and explore the banks, watching for birds and wildlife. If you hop out for a break, keep your eyes peeled for fossils.
San Juan Islands, Washington
This is the best place in the West to watch for orca whales, and you may also see harbor seals, bald eagles, sea birds, and otters. Three pods of orcas are residents in this area (J, K, and L pods). In addition, you'll find high-banked and pine-topped islands to explore, sandy beaches, and plenty of room to paddle in the sheltered waters of Puget Sound.
Acadia National Park, Maine
The rugged east coast of Maine is a fabulous place to explore by kayak. With dozens of routes, secluded bays, and open harbors, you'll find miles of shoreline between Southwest Harbor and Little Cranberry. Bring a sack lunch and hop out on the picturesque cobble beaches to watch for sea birds and wildlife.
Stony Creek to Thimble Islands, Connecticut
The delightful Thimble Islands are ranged with rosy pink granite. These picture-perfect islands are a popular kayaking destination because of their natural beauty and the variety of wildlife they attract.
Kice Island and Cape Romano, Florida
For a fun sea kayak outing, take trip around one of these two scenic islands. Both are located south of Marco Island in the group of barrier islands in South Florida. Keep your eyes peeled for egrets, ibises, and spoonbills while you paddle these crystal-clear waters.
Hammocks Beach State Park, North Carolina
Known as one of the prettiest beaches in the area, Hammocks Beach is a popular place to start a sea kayaking trip. You can paddle out to outerbank barrier islands like the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, or stop off at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan
Nothing beats a kayak as a means to reach remote beaches and solitary shores. At Pictured Rocks, you'll paddle through clear green waters past massive sand dunes, steep cliffs, and beautiful white sand beaches. The banks of Lake Superior are framed by spectacular 50 – 200-foot high sandstone cliffs in this area.
La Jolla Shores to Mission Baym, California
This is southern California at its finest. You can frolic with dolphins as you paddle through these clear blue waters, gazing down as you pass over underwater forests of giant kelp. Bring your sunscreen when you go kayaking on this sunny coast.

Posted: 10:29 AM- PHILADELPHIA - A little more than three weeks after he sprained his ankle in an Oct. 18 preseason game, Deron Williams is expected to make his return for the Jazz in Tuesday night's game against Philadelphia.
Williams told Jazz coach Jerry Sloan that he intended to play, although Williams later told reporters he would be a game-time decision. Williams averaged 37.3 minutes for the Jazz last season, but Sloan said he would be used "sparingly" against the 76ers.
"I'm probably not going to play 40 minutes tonight. I don't think my wind or my ankle" will allow it, Williams said at the pregame shootaround. "The problem with playing games is that, at the same time, it's not good to sit out because then the ankle gets stiff.
"I don't know what coach has in store. If I play, we'll find out."
Sloan said he also would give 19-year-old rookie center Kosta Koufos his first NBA start with Mehmet Okur having traveled to Turkey to attend to a family illness. Koufos has played in only two of the Jazz's six games so far, for a total of seven minutes.
"If nothing else, he deserves a chance because he's worked hard every single day," Sloan said. "There hasn't been a day that he hasn't worked hard in practice. Whatever drills we have him do, he gives you full effort on every one of them.
"Let him have a chance to play. We're shorthanded. He's probably as capable as anybody we could put out there right now."
The Jazz will have only 11 players in uniform, including Williams.
Okur has taken leave, Jarron Collins is still recovering from a right elbow injury and Kyrylo Fesenko had to fly to Toronto to resolve a visa issue.
The Jazz were insistent that Koufos keep his visa appointment, even though his representatives believe the opportunity for the second-year center to play in Okur's absence was of even greater importance.
Williams, meanwhile, will have missed six games with the second-degree ankle sprain, which he suffered when he landed on the foot of Chicago guard Derrick Rose while landing on a three-point attempt.
Williams said he was uncertain how he would handle the Jazz's stretch of four games in five nights to finish this trip - "That I don't know. We've got to see how it feels after the game" - and acknowledge there was "a little bit" more urgency to return with Okur out.

Joe Ben Jr. combines his reservation training with international teaching experience to create exceptional sandpaintings. Even the finest details are created by applying the just the right amount of pulverized pigment from between his curved index finger and thumb to a neutral base of sand below. The degree of control exercised in his movement and distribution of the pigments determines the lines, shapes and effects created. Hand gestures, that mimic the distribution of corn meal in prayer, result in color blending that is just short of miraculous.
Joe Ben's sandpaintings are distinguished by their intensity of color created by using natural materials from throughout the world rather than commercial sands pigmented with color. Lapis (blue) from Afghanistan, diamond(sparkle) from Australia, Galena (silver sparkle) from Morocco, coal (black) from the four corners, gypsum (white) from Cuba, New Mexico, red and gold ochre from the south of France, Azurite and chrysocolla (blue green) from southern Arizona, and a myriad of other greens, browns and reds found on the Hopi and Navajo reservation near his homeland are some of the materials Joe uses in his vibrant paintings.
Sandpainting exemplifies Navajo principals of balance and order. Complimentary paring represents balance between earth and sky, male and female, dusk and dawn, air and water. The symmetry of Joe's sandpaintings focus attention on those fundamental principals of balance, bringing to the viewer a true sense of order in both the physical and spiritual worlds.
Artist Statement:
I aspire to bring the art of the Navajo to the western world. Using forces stored in natural materials such as gold, lapis, azurite, and diamond, Interpret the forces of nature as a contemporary expression of man's place in relationship to the universe.

Sand paintings, or dry paintings, are the most widely known form of Navajo ceremonial art. Certain authorities believe that the practice was brought to the Southwest by the Navajo and was adopted by the other Pueblo Indians. Other experts believe that sand painting was practiced throughout the Pueblos long before the arrival of the Navajo, and that the Navajo simply adopted and greatly elaborated the technique. There is general consensus, however,that Southwestern sand paintings produced by the Navajo are the most beautiful, and elaborate in terms of technical complexity and range of subject matter.
The Navajo term for sand painting is 'iikááh, "place where the gods come and go." They are pictures made by sprinkling dry sands colored with natural pigments. The purpose of sand paintings is to allow the patient to absorb the powers depicted. The ritualistic process may be likened to osmosis in which the evil in man and the deity penetrate the ceremonial membrane [sandpainting] in both directions.
The pigments used in a sand painting are obtained by collecting colored sandstone which is ground into a fine powder. Anyone who has traveled in the Southwest knows that the cliffs and the hills abound in color; reds, browns, and ochre-yellows. In addition, crushed charcoal is mixed with sand to produce black. Cornmeal, pollen from plants, and pulverized flower petals are also used.
Sandpaintings are oriented with the cardinal directions. If the painting includes a border the border element never completely encircles the picture; the east is deliberately left open to permit entry of those deities who maybe called upon to participate in the ceremony. In Navajo mythology, the gods come from the east, and it is for this reason that one side of the sandpainting is left open, and for the same reason that the doorway of a Navajo house, or hogan, is always oriented toward the east.
Figures seen in sand paintings are often understood to be wearing masks. Because one seldom sees the actual face of the god, deity, or hero, the impersonator of the deity is recognized by the characteristic mask and attire.
The Navajo regard illness, injury, or other serious misfortune as being caused by conscious or unconscious transgressions, which result in disharmony between the individual and the supernatural. The basic purpose of the chants performed by the Navajo singers is to re-establish harmonious relationships with the supernatural beings.
Sandpaintings have only been commercially available since about 1960. Permanent attachment of sand to a board was initiated by David Villasenor who developed a simple "How to Sandpaint" kit intended for schoolchildren. The work itself is a buildup of layers of sand, glued to a flat surface. The quality of a sand painting is determined by the fineness and uniformity of the sand, complexity of the design, and the skill of the artisan producing even, straight, uniform lines.
Particle board is widely used as a base. It is precut to the desired size, edges are smoothed and sanded to a finished look. The entire surface is evenly spread with glue and background sand is applied. When completely dry, a pointed ice pick, or dart is used to etch guides for the design in the background sand. Then, using a fine brush to paint glue lines, the different colors of sand are added one at time. Each color is applied separately to avoid mixing. The sand is pressed into place to assure firm adhesion, and excess sand is removed.
Sand paintings, like other fine art, should be protected from moisture to prevent warping. Sunlight generally will not affect the colors of a sandpainting. A periodic brushing with a soft bristled brush will help remove dust and retain the clarity of the colors.

Thai court delays start of flood prevention works
A Thai court has ordered the government to hold public hearings before it begins US$11 billion of crucial water management and flood prevention projects.
The projects costing US$11.2 billion were initiated after Thailand was hit by the worst flooding in half a century in 2011. More than 800 people were killed in the floods.
A Central Administrative Court judge said Thursday the schemes which include flood diversion channels and reservoirs will have a wide impact on people and severely affect the environment.
He said public hearings as well as environmental and health impact assessments must be completed before any hiring for design and construction can go ahead.
Last month, four companies from China, South Korea and Thailand won bidding for nine projects in the government's master plan.

Mike Candrea has never been in this position before: sitting in his office Tuesday, conducting year-end player interviews, while 16 teams across the country prepared for the NCAA tournament's super regional round.
His 33-26 Arizona Wildcats were eliminated by Baylor in Saturday's College Station, Texas, regional — marking the first time since the tournament was expanded in 2005 that the Wildcats failed to make the Round of 16.
For the third straight year, the UA has failed to reach the Women's College World Series, afforded to the best eight teams in the nation.
Tuesday, the coach sounded resolute to not let it happen again.
"If I've gotta prove people wrong," he said, "then buckle up and get ready, because I will do it."
In his first of two days' worth of year-end interviews Tuesday, he told players how they could spend the offseason improving.
He was heartened by the fact that, Tuesday, in the start of the long offseason, players were already in the weight room.
"I was very blunt with (players) about, 'What's my return on my investment?' " he said.
"You turn it around the other way. 'I've made a strong commitment to you. Now, I need to get a return on this investment.' "

Somehow, the Atlanta Braves have never played at Kauffman Stadium. That will change Tuesday night when the Braves will play a road series against the Kansas City Royals for the first time.
Despite their inconsistencies, the Braves enter play with a six-game lead over the Washington Nationals for first place in the National League East. The Royals have also been incredibly inconsistent and sit 6 1/2 games back in the American League Central.
Who's chopping:
Dan Uggla collected a homer and a double on Sunday, so it seems he may be fully adjusted to his new contacts.
Despite getting no run support and having a 5-5 record, Ervin Santana has posted a 2.64 ERA this season. He has thrown at least seven innings in his last seven starts.
Speaking of Kansas City's pitching, they also have the best ERA (3.54) in the American League.
Who's flopping:
Despite having a good year overall, Freddie Freeman is mired in a 2-for-24 (.083) slump over his last seven games.
The Royals' downfall has been their hitting. They currently rank 13th in the AL in runs scored.
Tuesday, 8:10 on SportSouth: Braves RH Kris Medlen (4-7, 2.96 ERA) vs RH Ervin Santana (5-5, 2.64 ERA)
Wednesday, 8:10 on SportSouth: LH Mike MInor (8-2, 2.89 ERA) vs RH Luis Mendoza (2-4, 4.30 ERA)

After nearly two years of merger talks, the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote and the Jenkintown-based Jewish Reconstructionist Federation have officially agreed to combine and form one organization.
The final step in the process came at a Philadelphia meeting on Sunday. Delegates from the 105 congregations affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation voted overwhelmingly in favor of the move.
The Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association, also based in the Philadelphia-area, will remain a separate entity.
The new, yet-to-be-named organization will be run by a unified board and professional staff, and is expected to formally launch in the fall of this year.
According to the 2009 "Jewish Population Study of Greater Philadelphia," 3 percent of the region's Jews identity as Reconstructionist.
The reshuffling comes on the heels of major overhauls within the Reform and Conservative movements aimed at trimming costs, more efficiently serving congregations and finding more effective ways to engage unaffiliated Jews.

Morrowind VS Oblivion
View Single Post
January 17th, 2008, 09:40
The biggest difference to me, personally, and why I enjoyed MW a lot more than Oblivion, were the factions. The factions in Morrowind are very well done, and involve quite a few quests where you need real dedication to a specific faction, instead of being able to lead all factions in the end.
I enjoy that kind of "ambitious roleplay", where gaining ranks and reputation is involved, but not when there's no real reward, no real challenge, and no real choices along the way (like in Oblivion). Getting to the top of the Imperial faction in Morrowind, for example, is a very tough climb, but also very rewarding in the end.
Edit: Thought I should mention this - these days I almost exclusively do faction based quests, with the factions I intend to go all the way with. For a new player, that is not adviced (you might want to learn more about the factions first), but if you are even remotely fighter-ish, I recommend trying to do a few quests with the Imperial faction, as you'll get some very nice quest rewards, and a feeling of "getting involved".

Want a new way to enjoy Minecraft on PSP? Check out this awesome mod by two great developers!
Minecraft PSP clones are a dime a dozen in this scene, but that doesn't mean we should stop reporting about them. This particular updated mod is brought to us by woolio and Joel16. Through their combined efforts, gamers are able to get a pretty sophisticated recreation of the game that originally took Xbox 360 and PC by storm. This new 1.6 build includes more blocks, textures, flowers, and area statistics that show some data about what you've created. As far as features are concerned, this is one of the deepest Minecraft PSP mods out there!
This mod is a team work project, between me and woolio. I started working on this mod myself, until version 1.2. Then Woolio messaged me and asked to join, so that we both can pull of a great mod for the psp scene. I gladly accepted and we both started working on the next version: v1.3. Anything after 1.2, is worked on by me and woolio. Woolio does mainly the hard stuff, like coding fog levels, clouds, world generation and what makes it more like MCPC. I basically do the visual stuff, like menu tweaks, texture updates and designs and a few bug fixing if there are any critical ones. I will get more involved once my exams are over, I'm trying to implement infinite worlds at the moment :) Thankyou for using our mod
Current Version: 1.6
Current Stage: Alpha
Modders: woolio and Joel16
Changelog: Minecraft PSP Mod (v1.6)
Minecraft PSP Mod (v1.5.6)
Minecraft PSP Mod (v1.5)
Minecraft PSP Mod (v1.4)

Oklahoma Mysteries
Unsolved Mysterious Murders of NW Oklahoma
Old Opera House Murder - Alva' First Homicide - 9 November 1910 [Nelson L. Miller vs. State of Oklahoma, Death of Mabel Oakes]
Old Avard Road Unsolved Mystery - Mildred Ann (Newlin) Reynolds' Death, Tuesday, 13 March 1956, 1:40 p.m.
If you look deep into any community anywhere over the last decade or so, you will find some interesting mysteries. Some unsolved and some solved to some extent. This NW Okie did some sigging through old newspaper archives and court records and found the following mysteries in Northwest Oklahoma.
The first mystery takes us back to the November, 1910 Old Opera House Murder in downtown Alva, Woods, Oklahoma, where Mable Oakes was found dead in the backroom of the Old Opera House. Justice Nelson Miller was put on trial for the alleged murder, but was it murder?The second mystery takes us back to 1956 with the unsolved, cold-case death of Ann Reynolds, south of Alva, Woods, Oklahoma when she died in a fiery auto accident on the Old Avard Road as she was traveling from Alva to Avard in the early afternoon.
The second mystery leaves us with many speculations of what might have occurred, but with so many years gone by, and witnesses that have deceased. An interesting unsolved cold-case mystery that could use the help of Sherlock Holmes. That is for sure!

The are certain days each year when we must all take a step back, stop what were doing, and remember what happened long ago. Today, as most of you know, is one of those days.
December 7, 1941 — "the day that will live in infamy," as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed it, may be long ago, but it is still in our minds… and rightfully so. A day that occurred (for most of us) before we were born still sits in our minds after thinking of military servants — some related to us readers — hurt, injured, or just there that fateful day in Pearl Harbor.
Before enjoying what it sure to be some great basketball, please just take a small time out of your day to remember one of the most iconic days in American history. God bless, all.
Now, back to basketball; below is a look at today's schedule. I will be back at North Rockland to cover the championship between the Red Raiders and Beacon. I will stop by Mount Vernon-Nyack first since I'll have time to actually watch the teams and talk to new Knights coach Ayo Hart, replacement to Patrice Wallace-Moore.
As usual, if you get a score update from another game, feel free to comment, e-mail or tweet me. Also, if you know of any missing games or teams on the schedule, please just let me know.

Taylor Swift Settles Her Differences With Michael J. Fox
Eyebrows shot pretty far up when actor Michael J. Fox recently took some pot shots at Taylor Swift, advising the singer not to date his son, Sam. But not to worry — they're all good now!
Some backstory: At the Golden Globes, hostess Tina Fey issued stern warnings to Swift to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son … she needs some 'me time' to learn about herself."
Fox responded later on, pretty amusingly — but since Swift is notoriously sensitive, we doubt she was happy with him joke. When asked if he'd like his son Sam to date Swift, he said, "No. No … just back off … but Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."
When pressed on how he'd react if Sam brought Swift home for dinner, he chuckled, "I wouldn't even know who she was." He did admit he'd figure it out once the song was on the radio: "Yeah, exactly," he said. "'Sam, You Piece of S—'. Oh … that was the girl you brought home!"
Swift finally issued a response via Twitter to the hullabaloo. Apparently Fox called her to make sure she wasn't upset — because her fans were, taking to the microblogging site to express their anti-Marty McFly sentiments.
Hey everybody, Michael J. Fox got in touch with me today and we are good. Thank you for having my back.
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 18, 2013
We're glad everyone can get along!

A 2-year-old Chinese boy had surgery to give birth to his twin brother, after stunned doctors discovered his parasitic twin's fetus inside his stomach.
The fetus with fully formed spine and limbs, including fingers and toes, was removed from the toddler. Doctors diagnosed the child as pregnant. But, if a child has a fetus growing inside him, does this mean he is really pregnant?
"The boy's not pregnant," said Michael Swor, M.D. of Swor Women's Care in Sarasota. "It is true that in very rare cases you can have conjoined twins, twins that are partially connected at birth, kind of a rare form of that where the other twin has actually become part of the live twins body," he explained.
Identical twins form when an egg splits in half after fertilization. But conjoined twins or "fetus-in-fetu" siblings occur when the egg fails to fully separate.
Dr. Swor said, "There was a famous actor, Andy Garcia, who had the same thing, and had the quote parasitic twin unquote, surgically removed. So this has even happened in Hollywood." At birth Garcia had a parasitic twin, which appeared as a tennis ball-sized growth on his shoulder. The twin was successfully removed and Garcia or course went on to make movies.
"In this case," said Dr. Swor, "it's probably something similar that the so-called twin was inside the body apparently, and probably was causing some kind of obstruction." The parasitic sibling of the two year old boy had grown to 20 centimeters in width distending his abdomen and causing breathing difficulties.
"And that," said Dr. Swor, "was why it had to be surgically removed and how it was discovered and why his stomach looked almost pregnant."

Booby prize for me?
Hope: enjoy your holiday!
Emmy: that's cool your dad is an ob. I imagine I'd drive my dad mad with questions if he were an ob! Hehe.
PCM, jaynen, gaia, super fruity and my other lovelies, hope you're going well. I see my ob this arvo - visits are now weekly, which to me a few months ago signalled the really exciting part of pregnancy! I feel so many emotions: amazement that in a few weeks we will be parents; a bit of anxiety about birth; achy due to pelvic girdle issues (I feel like I'm in the body of a 50 year old).
Posted 28 September 2012 - 11:34 AM
Hello little lion!
I know how you feel about the change in appt frequency. I'm going to my last monthly appt in few weeks before going to fortnightly and it all seemed like such a huge milestone at the beginning.
I'm achy as, only 27 weeks! I walk like an old lady.... Bubs is kicking daily but some days more active than others. Anyone else notice this?
If you're in NSW, have a lovely long weekend! I'm so looking forward to it.
Posted 30 September 2012 - 01:09 PM
Hi ladies,
I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. We've just come back from our babymoon - it was so nice, im a bit sad to be home! I'm looking forward to catching up on what everyones been doing while i was away. Be back for personals in a day or two when ive caught up
Posted 02 October 2012 - 08:51 PM
Hi Ladies,
just wanted to share that its a GIRL!!! so excited, the scan went really well and baby was moving around so cute!
Posted 02 October 2012 - 10:57 PM
Yay! That's fab news jaynen.
Blue cup I look forward to hearing about your baby moon.
PCM I'm happy I'm not the only one feeling so old physically. Physio is helping me to a degree, as is easing up on the physical activity. Yes until around 30 weeks I felt baby's movements differed day to day. Once I called my Ob to go in for an extra scan as I was concerned. I totally recommend doing it if you feel concerned. After about 30 weeks he has settled into a definite pattern e.g. I could tell you that 6pm and 9pm are typical times of crazy movements.
As for me: I am trying to plough through my list of things to do. I'm almost done packing my hospital bag. Tomorrow I will begin washing the 0000 and 000 baby clothes, squee!!!
Posted 03 October 2012 - 10:46 AM
Congrats Jaynen! Such beautiful news
Good luck to Hope who is having her ultrasound today
AFM- into my 10th week and my anxiety levels are out of control... I'm so scared that we will lose this little bubble Did any of you ladies buy or rent a fetal heart rate Doppler? I'm considering it for peace of mind.. I feel like I'm going to self combust with nervousness
Posted 03 October 2012 - 04:41 PM
Afternoon all,
Quick update, had my scan today and all is well. Bub is pretty much measuring spot on and heartbeat was great at 175bpm. So relieved, just praying everything continues to go well. I am 9 weeks tomorrow so good news is only 3 more weeks til i can have my next scan. I am going to GP on friday to discuss results and i guess he will get the ball rolling regarding booking in for NT scan.
emmy - how you going? Have you had any more spotting?
Jaynen - yay for the girl, thats excellent news!
Bluecup - hope you had a lovely babymoon. I think i will do one of those in the 2nd tri FX.
Oh how exciting little lion, not long now..
Hi PCM, hope things are well for you.
Posted 05 October 2012 - 01:12 PM
Hi All,
Jaynen - Congratulations on a good scan . So happy for you. And a little girl thats lovely. It is so exciting to find out the gender, I found it made me feel closer to the baby too.
PCM - Yes I certainly notice that too. He is kicking and moving everyday now but some days are definitely more active than others. I have been recording how its been going and it seems to go in cycles, he will have a run of really active days and then a couple of quieter days in a row and then back to more active again. I make sure there are at least ten separate times in a day he is moving because this is what the midwife told me. But some days he is way over that and sometimes not and also somedays the movements are really strong kicks that you couldnt miss and other days a lot lighter that you could easy miss them if you werent paying attention. I hope all of this is normal.
LittleLion - How exciting that you are up to the packing and washing stages. Its getting so close!
Emmy - I feel for you. I still dont know how I have survived all of this with my mind in tact, especially first trimester it is so hard. I struggled so much with anxiety too so I can understand how you feel. Try to take one day at a time and just focus on getting through today, nothing else. I wish there was a magic formula to stop the worry
Hope - Congratulations on your scan, that is wonderful news!!! That is a beautiful strong heartbeat! I hope the next few weeks goes really quickly for you.
AFM - Coming up to 26 weeks, nearing the end of second trimester. Still cant beleive we have got this far.
For those who know you are having a boy - Im wondering how you feel about this and what kind of reactions you are getting to that news?
I am really happy about it. But I feel like when I tell people I get reactions like I should be somehow a bit disappointed that its not a girl. Im not at all disappointed but I feel like people don't believe that I genuinely don't feel this way or that it is true that I really am over the moon to find out we are having a boy. Maybe Im oversensitive but both my parents have responded by saying something along the lines of they could see me more with a daughter or something like that. Maybe I am reading too much into it but its just a feeling I get from other people as well. Like its disappointing news or something.
Anyway, I guess the main thing is that I am really happy about it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks or wants.
Posted 05 October 2012 - 02:09 PM
Hello everyone!
HOPE6 - so happy your scan was perfect. The next one will be pretty special too. It's amazing how baby changes between those early scans. Seeing their development made the pregnancy more real to me at that early stage when you don't look huge or feel any kicks. Enjoy!!!
Gaia - yay for nearing the end of the second tri! Thanks for the tip re periods of kicking during the day. I'm up there, thank goodness and like you have quieter days as well.
About having a boy. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I found out on the day only because I was so convinced it was a girl and my mum had the inkling too.
I think it's shock more than disappointment for most rellies. I thought my mum was 'disappointed' too but what's been most important to everyone is that both of us are doing fine and we're staying healthy.
My friends were just delighted with the news. Friends with boys passed on lots of advice and funny stories. People without kids just said lovely things about how loving little boys are towards their mummies. It's been really positive for me and DH and I think it would have been if we were expecting a girl.
The thing is, I'm a worrier. Boy or girl, I'll have something to worry about regarding raising them, bullying, health issues, safety issues etc etc....
Does any of this make sense?
Posted 05 October 2012 - 04:32 PM
Hi PCM - Yes, you make perfect sense.
I have just read another thread on eb about having all boys and it got me thinking, some people saying they want a daughter have said that they want to be able to do 'girl' things. I have always been very girly so perhaps people naturally think thats what I would want. But perhaps you are right and maybe its surprise people are expressing rather than disappointment. Or perhaps I just read to much into things, lol
Posted 05 October 2012 - 05:18 PM
Gaia - I know what you mean about people seeming like I should/would be disappointed. I did think I was having a girl but I kept it to myself and was more than happy (albeit initially suprised ) it was a boy. I think it was good for me as my first baby would have been a girl and this is now totally different.
To those in the first tri - I hope you are doing ok. I just worked with milestones, 6 weeks, then my m/c date, then the 13 week scan. I didn't get a doppler EmmyG but I think something like that may freak me out more If I used it wrong, saying that you are a nurse if I recall correctly so may have a better chance of getting it right!
Jaynen- yay for a little girl
I hope everyone else has a great weekend
AFM - absolutely smashed at work and am exhausted. This weekend cannot come soon enough. I am being retested next week re my iron level so part of me is hoping its still low to explain this exhaustion, otherwise it may be something else. I am only 31 weeks and not sure how I will get to the end of work in 6 weeks.
Posted 05 October 2012 - 10:22 PM
Hey All,
Hope - Great news on the scan! its amazing the changes baby makes as time goes on..
Emmy - I considered getting a doppler but then decided against it because I didnt want to stress myself even more.. Once I got to the 12wks I felt relieved but still a bit concerned so I had a few extra scans at my ob. I think I just took it a day at a time and just hoped everything would be ok.. so far so good but try not to stress to much about it
Gaia - I agree I feel like I can bond with baby more knowing what she is. Its funny how people automatically say to me " you must be happy you are having a girl" its a bit frustrating because I would have been happy either way.. before my mc the first time I always said I wanted a boy first and then when I fell pregnant this time I just said I would be grateful for a happy healthy bubba. wow you are coming up to the third trimester so exciting!
littlelion - not long to go for you. I remember in the other thread when you announced you were pg. im soo happy for you xo
Has anyone heard from Drsuperfruity? Shes due anytime now?
Olivebaby - good luck with your testing next week, hope you get some answers.
bluecup - how was your babymoon?
AFM - thanks ladies very excited about our little girl. so many cute little outfits. im feeling her alot more now normally after I have eaten which puts my mind at ease.. Does anyone have trouble getting comfy in bed? any suggestions?
Posted 06 October 2012 - 06:14 PM
Jayne81 - it does help feeling all those baby movements, doesn't it. I think I'll miss it when bub is born. Even though I'll be holding him (and being made to stay up at all hours because of him) but this is such a special time. I sort of never feel lonely because he's there and I get this 'sense' of his personality from his activity. Perhaps it's all pregnant brain stuff I'm feeling to be honest.
About sleep. It's undignified and possibly TMI but this is what is working for me. I have a long body pillow that goes down the middle of the bed. I'm trying to sleep left side down, this is meant to be best for baby? So I straddle the pillow. If I do turn I either take the pillow with me or else turn and lean my back into it.
I also sleep on two pillows because I've been getting reflux on and off. I somehow get my arms so that the hands are up on one of my pillows or body pillow and the rest of the arm 'drains down'... heard this was good for reducing carpal tunnel stuff.
Most embarrassing of all is that I have to sleep with an old towel over the pillows because I have been drooling.....
That's too much sharing, sorry! But I hope it helps.
There are smaller pillows that are meant to help you stay on your side but they're like $80 or so and what I have looks terrible but works for me. Mothercare has a range of products.
Posted 06 October 2012 - 06:22 PM
Hi girls,
Decided to get a Doppler for peace of mind... The midwives at work said they would teach me how to use it :-) I also had another scan yesterday because of more spotting... The haematoma is still there but bubble is doing well measuring 9 weeks and 6 days with cute little hands and legs waving and kicking an a strong heartbeat of 176 bpm...
Will speak to my OB on Monday about the haematoma...
Posted 06 October 2012 - 08:22 PM
So much for a day or two, I think its taken me about a week to get on top of things again since we got back from our babymoon! Ive been working on updating the list, to take over from Fairey and I was thinking that maybe I should update it and post it again whenever our group has a new bub. What does everyone think? Superfruity is due pretty soon now, and maybe its a good way for us to celebrate. Happy to do something else if anyone has another idea though?...
emmy-g and Hope6– so nice to see you guys here! Congratulations!!
emmy – Hang in there, you're nearly through your first tri. I found it a real sense of relief getting into the 2nd tri. Its still scary but feels much safer than first. I dont think there's any magic tricks to feeling better about it, but hopefully sharing your feelings with everyone in here might help.
Hope6 – I found the first tri especially nerve wracking. Its hard not to over analyse everything isnt it? So glad your follow-up scan went well. That must ease some of your worries. BTW I think I stopped feeling nauseous most of the time by about week 11. Im sure its funny for you to hear at the moment but in the first few weeks after it stopped there were plenty of days when I actually missed it – the reassurance of it at least. What are you doing with your days off?
Jaynen – Congrats on your little girl! You thought were having a girl, right? I have a lot of trouble getting comfy in bed. I wake up a lot more than I used to. Not just to pee, but also because my hips get really sore. Do your hips hurt? Im very conscious of trying to only sleep on my left side, but sometimes I wake up feeling so sore I couldnt sleep on either side anymore. I sleep cuddling a bolster pillow, which definitely helps but isnt a total fix. Ive also figured out to prop myself up on a few pillows so I can sleep half sitting up, for some relief when my hips hurt too much.
Littlelion – how nice for you to be finished up with work! Does it feel strange, or have you got plenty to occupy your time with? Im sorry to hear you're still feeling sore and old, that must be really annoying. How exciting packing your hospital bag! So close now
Olivebaby – Hope your blood test results give you some answers this week. Seems like youve been feeling really exhausted for a while now Do you have a long weekend this weekend? We do, its so nice!
Gaia – You're into double digits now, that really exciting! Less than 100 days to go for you! Congrats! Ive been feeling our little bubba moving around for a few weeks now. Its really nice, and kind of fun! I cant wait for DH to be able to feel it too. Your baby's movements sound like mine (which is really reassuring for me ) sometimes I notice them a lot and other days it seems like much less. I guess some of that is probably a reflection of how busy we are and how much we're moving around, and how much we're alert to what theyre doing, right?
Rara – im glad you guys are doing ok and sounds like you're getting the help you need. I hope the specialists can give you some answers to help you move forward.
Pz – That sounds really scary. Im so glad you're alright though. Please rest up and take it easy. Hope you're doing better now.
TheNewMrsS – Congratulations on your safe delivery! Nice to hear that both your little girls are doing really well.
PCM – Congrats on reaching the 3rd tri. Wow, thats awesome! BTW I straddle the pillow too and Ive been getting reflux. Its horrible, pretty much every day Ive been getting a bout (or two) of it. I find drinking milk or vinegar and water seems to help a bit but it doesnt really get rid of it. Do you have any tips?
AFM – Our babymoon was really nice. We had about a week in the city, catching up with friends, shopping and eating! And we went to a beach resort where we were planning to spend 5 days just relaxing by the pool but DH got really sunburnt on our second day there, and there were not many food options and they werent very good. So we left after only 2 days and went to another city, Melaka. It was a good decision. Melaka is a really interesting old city with lots to see and really good food! Towards the end of our trip we went over to Singapore for the day. Just to have lunch really! There's a tea store and restaurant that I really like there. We bought lots of cute little clothes and baby things on our holiday. I think weve bought more than we'll need but like (I think it was PCM?) said, they're just so cute and we've waited so long for this!
I definitely look pregnant now instead of just fat! In Singapore we got to jump the queue in a few places because they told us pregnant ladies dont have to queue! I was so grateful for that after walking around in the heat all day!
Thanks for reading ladies. I had so much to catch up on, this turned into a bit of an essay!
Posted 06 October 2012 - 08:26 PM
Hi girls. Just a quick one from me. I saw my Ob on Friday and baby is measuring two weeks ahead of the norm. I know it isn't an exact science but wow!
On the topic of expecting a boy, I've had a comments where I've thought people expressed disappointment for me. I notice mums of boys are quick to tell me how fab they are (even if they also have daughters) so that is sweet.
I'm not disappointed though! In my husband's culture, traditionally boys are preferred. So I think my in laws are extra happy the baby is a boy, but since he will be the first grandchild (on both sides) everyone's super excited.
Edited to add: feeling guilty now after reading blue cup's detailed entry. Hehe. I like your idea for updating the list. I also forgot to reply on how I get comfy in bed. Short answer? I don't! I've been seeing a physio for sacroiliac joint pain in particular. I think the treatment is working now because I feel a bit better. She recommends sleeping with a pillow between the knees. I tried the long body pillow and wedge pillow a couple of months ago but didn't like them.

I miss you girls and this thread heaps! Just had a read through and am so happy to see that everyone's going well. Little Lion you are going to pop so soon! Blue Cup PM me if you want to meet up in Canberra once your bub is born.
GL to you all x
Posted 08 October 2012 - 12:03 PM
emmy - goodluck at the OB today
Blue cup - glad you had a nice getaway and got some nice little baby outfits. Nice idea for the list. My EDD is 9th May 2013.
Lots of baby boys in this group. Funny I think people just assume ladies want a little girl and the men want a little baby boy. Most important thing of course is a healthy baby.
Just booked in for 2 weeks time to have my NT scan tests. Things sure do go quick with all these scans and blood tests, which i guess is a good thing in the first tri.
Have a good week all, i am back at work on wed... errr... love being at home. xxx
Posted 09 October 2012 - 06:18 AM
Thanks Hope...
I've been put on two weeks of bed rest as my OB doesn't like my haemmorhage... I don't blame him cos I hate it bubble is still doing great but the bleeder has the potential to make things go pear shaped... Am staying with some friends while DH is away so that I don't cheat on the doctors rules....
Posted 09 October 2012 - 09:54 AM
Just ducking in quickly
emmy-g - take care, hunny. Glad that bub is doing well. May the weeks of bed rest fly by!
HOPE6 - all the best for the NT!
Loulla - lovely to hear from you. Hope all is well and will be with you soon on the other side.
Posted 09 October 2012 - 04:53 PM
Oh emmy i am praying everything will be well xx
Thats good your OB is being extra cautious. Sorry for my stupidity but where exactly is the bleeding and what does it all mean??
Hi PCM, thanks for the well wishes x

Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) are small anadromous fish that live in nearshore coastal waters during much of the year and migrate to tidal rivers to spawn during the spring. They are a key prey species in marine food webs, as they are consumed by larger organisms such as striped bass, bluefish, and seabirds. In addition, smelt are valued culturally and economically, as they support important recreational and commercial fisheries. The Atlantic Coast range of rainbow smelt has been contracting in recent decades. Historically, populations extended from the Delaware River to eastern Labrador and the Gulf of St. Lawrence (Buckley 1989). More recent observations indicate that rainbow smelt spawning populations have been extirpated south of Long Island Sound, and evidence of spawning activity is extremely limited between Long Island and Cape Cod, MA. In the Gulf of Maine region, spawning runs are still observed, but monitoring surveys as well as commercial and recreational catches indicate that these populations have also declined (e.g., Chase and Childs 2001). Many diverse factors could drive the recently noted declines in rainbow smelt populations, including spawning habitat conditions, fish health, marine environmental conditions, and fishing pressure. Few studies have assessed any of these potential threats or their joint implications. In 2004, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) listed rainbow smelt as a species of concern. Subsequently, the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts were awarded a grant through NMFS's Proactive Conservation Program to gather new information on the status of rainbow smelt, identify factors that affect spawning populations, and develop a multi-state conservation program. This paper provides an overview of this collaborative project, highlighting key biological monitoring and threats assessment research that is being conducted throughout the Gulf of Maine.

Gifts for friends trying to fall pregnant
Do you know a friend who is trying to get pregnant without any luck? Trying to fall pregnant can be tough on both your friend and their partner. To help bring a smile to your friend's face during this time here are a few gift ideas, some practical, some pampering and some just to help take their minds off what is a "trying" time.
Shop online at eBay for gifts for friends while trying
Gift ideas for friends trying to fall pregnant:
Relaxation Gifts and Pamper for friends trying to fall pregnant
Your friend has probably heard from doctors, nurses, family and friends, "just relax", "you need to relax", "reduce your stress", so instead of telling them what she and her partner already know, give them a relaxation or pamper gift to help her relax without heightening her anxiety by telling her to relax.
Herbal Tea gifts
Red raspberry leaf tea is said to be a good tea to drink while trying to fall pregnant. It is thought to help tone the uterus and pelvic muscles and promotes fertility. Your friend should check with her doctor if she wants to continue drinking this throughout her pregnancy. Green tea is also thought to help with fertility.
- Relaxing music and CDs
- Aromatic candles
Pamper and massage voucher
Massages for both the female and male can help improve blood circulation. Give your friend a massage voucher for her, or for the two of them, or take her for a massage with you as a girls day out. Or buy a massage how-to book and and some massage oils for some home massages.
Acupuncture voucher
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment that may help promote fertility, and relaxation.
- Yoga DVD or yoga lesson voucher
- Meditation CDs
- Lingerie . Having to perform according to an ovulation calendar can take some of the joy and spontaneity out of what should be a joyful time. Sex up your friend's "trying" with some sexy lingerie.
- Spa voucher .
- Procreation holiday voucher . Send your friends on a procreation holiday to a hotel in town, or by the beach. If that is a bit too pricey, get some other friends or family to pitch in. Add on a spa treatment to help them stay relaxed and carefree.
Organise a bunch of flowers to be delivered to your friend's work or home just because.
Fertility symbols as gifts
Several cultures carve or create fertility symbols to encourage "baby making". Give your friends a gift to show them you are thinking of them while they are trying and that you want to show your thoughts. A few ideas include fertility jewellery, fertility statues from Africa, and fertility symbols.
Several meals within the Chinese New Year feast are symbolic for fertility.
Practical Gifts for friends hoping to fall pregnant
Water drink bottle
A fun SIGG water bottle. When trying to conceive a baby women should be drinking 8 glasses of water a day. To help her reach her daily target give her a stylish water drink bottle. Maybe get another water bottle for her husband/partner too, he should be keeping well hydrated as well.
Bananas for boys
If your friends are keen on conceiving a boy, give your friend a bunch of bananas. Studies have shown women that eat bananas while trying to fall pregnant have a greater chance of conceiving a boy.
Herbs that may help with fertility

Not many people know that Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan are good friends. They have worked together in many films like Biwi No.1, No Entry, Salam-E-Ishq and Yuvraj. Anil Kapoor says that nothing will happen to Salman Khan, who is charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002 hit-and-run case.
Salman Khan is news these days because of his 2002 hit and run case. His friend Anil Kapoor is worried about him but at the same time he is confident that Salman will not go to the jail. At a recent event, Anil talked about Salman and told a news channel, "It is a court matter so it is not fair to speculate on things. But I hope nothing like (10 years in jail) happens. My heart says nothing will happen."
Salman Khan's SUV ran over a group of people sleeping on the pavement in 2002. In the accident, one person was killed and four others were injured badly.
In January 2013, the metropolitan magistrate, examined 17 witnesses related to the case and charged Salman Khan for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
If convicted, Salman Khan will have to go to the jail for ten years.

Annual Pikes Peak Regional History Symposia
Problem StatementThe record of our community's history was at risk of stagnation due to diminishing new published local history resources, limited accessibility to unpublished resources, and inadequate incentives to encourage new historical research. Uncoordinated local history organizations appealed to small groups with periodic presentations and newsletters however, the larger regional community, with many new and short-time residents, was seldom engaged.
An annual free public program focused on one history topic united disparate groups to craft a regional history symposium to appeal to a general audience. A national call for papers is issued and the day-long event occurs during early June. The event features professional and avocational historians presenting their unique research on the year's topic.
Each Pikes Peak Regional History Symposium is a free, day-long event, with twelve presenters, and a Chautauqua performance. A light lunch and late-day book signing reception provide an opportunity for conversation.
The Pikes Peak Library District is fortunate to have a television studio and a cable TV channel. The symposia are broadcast live, as well as edited for rebroadcast and DVD availability. The audio of the symposia is available for download from the library's eBranch and can be played on computer or portable device, and burned to CD.
The presented papers are edited by volunteers and the library's Special Collections staff to publish an illustrated and indexed book. Previously published out-of-print books about the selected history topic are republished during the symposium year. Books are published in print and electronic form, for library circulation and purchase. A PlayAway audio book is in production for one reprinted title. Book release events draw large crowds to buy books and see a short performance featuring a character important to the region's history, and the topic of the new book. These events are video recorded to provide additional cable channel programming.

The Izakaya Den/Pearl Street Grill deal moves forward...slowly
In January, the owners of Izakaya Den announced that they had entered into a very involved deal with BW Holdings, the company that controls the Wynkoop/Breckenridge group of breweries and restaurants, agreeing to swap Izakaya's current location -- a stand-alone building at 1518 South Pearl Street -- for the now-closed Pearl Street Grill spot at 1477 South Pearl. But "swap" may not be the right word. Last Friday the Denver Business Journal published the financial notices on the deal, which indicate that Izakaya owners Yasu and Toshi Kizaki agreed to buy the Pearl Street Grill space from BW Holdings for $1 million while selling the Izakaya Den building to BW for $3 million.
Sometime this fall, Izakaya Den will take over the former Pearl Street Grill address (which will also boast a new kitchen shared with Sushi Den); it will stay open in its current location until then. And after that move, BW will introduce an as-yet-undisclosed new concept in the former home of Izakaya.
"We are going to take all of the good things from Amato's and incorporate them," says Lee Driscoll of BW, which also owns Ale House at Amato's. "We want to do something original there, so we're going to take our time and really figure it out."
Before that happens, though, the company plans to renovate and remodel three of its other properties: Gaetano's; the Wazee Supper Club, which will get a new kitchen and more downstairs seating; and the Wynkoop itself, which will get a complete overhaul, similar to what BW just did at the Breckenridge Ballpark Pub.

Green Thursdays: A Self-Filling Water BottleJanuary 24, 2013
Story from Ecogeek:
The need for water is important in many parts of the world without the infrastructure to provide safe drinking water. There are many personal technologies that can be used water purification or water gathering. While the idea of a self-filling water bottle may at first sound like magic, it's based on nanotechnology and biomimicry.
NBD Nano is named for the Namib Desert Beetle, whose shell functions to collect water for the insect, and which served as the inspiration for the technology. The technique behind this uses hydrophilic (water retaining) and hydrophobic (water repelling) coatings to concentrate moisture in the air onto the hydrophilic surfaces, and then, as the droplets become big enough, the water runs into a central collector. A small fan is used to move air over the surface to improve collection.
The company is pursuing a variety of possible applications for the technique. While it is not yet a commercial product, this offers a possibility of making water scarcity less of a problem in an increasingly water-dependent world.

The following is an article out of the New Gardener February 2012 about the original owner.
When a client asked Nelson landscape designer Richard Blaikie to give him a lawn that would seldom need mowing, it sparked an interest in grass substitutes.
"He was a scientist, with a different way of looking at things," says Richard. "I soon found other clients who were keen to put away their lawn mowers yet retain an area of restful green that could be walked on".
Richard has a strong interest in how people live and how their lives can be improved by making their environment more natural, so he started collecting and propogating mat-forming plants that could act as lawns and green mulches. He could see their potential for reducing work and increasing visual appeal, while at the same time cutting down on the use of noise polluting mowers, blow vacs and line trimmers.
He began trialling lawns of thyme varieties which have great scent: pratia, with little blue star-shaped flowers; and native acaenas, which are good for dry, gravelly areas, where their green or purple foliage looks amazing. In summer they have burr-like scarlet flowers.
Richard tried Dichondra repens (Mercury Bay Weed), a much touted lawn substitute in times gone by, but it was a little weak for his liking. So he made the inovative move of combining several species to create an intriguing mix of colour and texture. This proved a good way to use dichondra, planted with purple acaena and purple-green leptinella.
The biggest break-through came when Richard started growing New Zealand native seaside plant Selliera microphylla, which forms dense patches of small green foliage with a mown-grass appearance, and which needs the attention of a mower only once or twice a year. It will tolerate wet conditions, doesn't mind periods of dry, and copes well with moderate foot traffic.
In nature, this plant is often covered with salt water during periods of extra-high tides and it gets blasted by salt-laden storms, meaning it's extremelty salt tolerant and therefore a breeze to keep free of weeds. How come you might ask. Believe it or not, by scattering salt. Richard buys agricultural salt by the sack, and sprinkles it over the salleria when weeds reach 2-3cm tall. He wets the foliage first, then sprinkles on the salt using an extra-large salt shaker - a can with a holey lid. After the first application of salt, all that's needed is spot treatments when weeds reappear. So far he hasn't met a weed that isn't killed by salt. Even clover - which is sometimes hard to get rid of with conventional weed killers - is dispatched easily. Richard estimates that before long his nursery will be producing 90 per cent selleria as demand for it increases.
Richard's mainly installed no-mow lawns in small gardens, although a recent job saw him plant a large area of selleria in an amphitheatre in Nelson.
As with so many native plants, selleria shows variations in growth habit in the wild, and Richard makes a point of checking how it's performing in various locations. He's particularly impressed with the way it grows on the rocks by the blowholes at Punakaiki, where it's trampled by the feet of hundreds of tourists every day. It copes just as easily as when it's being washed over by waves when the tide is high.
Not that selleria is right for every situation. It's not completely cold-hardy, so if someone in Queenstown, for instance, wants a no-mow lawn, Richard recommends thymes and the little native Muchlenbeckia Oxillaris, which can be mown if it grows above a desired height. He says muehlenbeckia has been a success in a Nelson planting where it's a foreground to flaxes and hebes. It's walked on a lot there, so it's flattened, but still growing happily.
Lawn substitutes for shade are another matter. Richard uses several different plants for such situations, including Pratia angulata, which has pretty white flowers, and the handsome ground-hugging native fern Blechmum penna-marina, which grows 5-10cm tall and handles light foot traffic. This is also a good plant for walls and banks, able to tolerate both moist and dry situations, light shade, and sun too, provided the soil doesn't dry out. It's an especially attractive fern in spring when the pink-tinged new growth emerges.
Fragrance is something that's often asked for in a lawn substitute and something selleria doesn't possess. Thymes are an obvious choice for a lawn that releases fragrance when walked on, and Richard has several varieties that are suitable for areas with light foot traffic.
He also has customers who fondly remember the scent of pennyroyal and Corsican mint in their grand-parents' lawns (which, in the days before spraying became commonplace, included a mixture of plants) and want these plants incorporated into their own. Walking on or mowing such plants can be a heady experience, the crushing releasing voatile oils which waft into the air.
At Richard's nursery, seedlings for no-mow lawns are grown in trays. At planting time, they're tipped out and cut into plugs, according to the variety, and planted out. It usually takes three to six months for the plugs to meet up, he says, although selleria will soon be available as turf for instant effect. The plants become more dense as they age.
If you want a no-mow lawn, prepare soil as for a conventional lawn. It should be as weed free as possible, via herbicides and weed mats, but not too compacted.
Weed problems should be minimal once established. Watering needs depend on the species used; some require no watering at all, others just a little during dry spells. Watering does help while they're establishing, however.
You could try concocting your own mix using some of the plants listed here. While seed is rarely available for these mat-forming plants, seedlings can sometimes be found at garden centres or native nurseries, or else Richard sends no-mow plants nationwide.
Some of these plants are suitable for growing on walls too. Richard recently built a wall for a medical practice, which wanted a bold feature and to reduce noise. The combination of a thick wall of growing medium and dense plants really does dampen sound. Richard says the trick to is to place insulating walls as close to the source of the noise as possible. If road noise is the problem, the walls need to be on the road boundary, not near the dwelling.
"I've done some caveman-type trials with these walls, running a chainsaw full bore on one side while friends on the other have held a conversation at normal levels with ease", he says. However, he discovered that moving 20cm back with the chainsaw makes for high noise levels on the other side of the wall.
The main plants he uses on the walls are both natives: Muehlenbeckia axillaris and wahlenbergia. In shady aspects, he plants baby's tears, Soleirolia soleirolii. You can use greywater on such walls too, a great way to cut your water use.
Richard sometimes gets requests for plants to grow on roofs. Succulents are popular but they are brittle, so if your TV aerial needs fixing, the plants will be damaged. Selleria is a tougher option.
Weight is a problem for roof gardens, so Richard uses the soil-less mix he makes to use in sound-reducing walls. An ideal growing medium, it's made from shredded polystyrene, coconut fibre and fertiliser, is very lightweight and provides excellent insulation.

Foner On Remaking History
Most readers who study the WBTS, whether seriously or casually, are familiar with the work of Eric Foner, at least to some extent. He is a widely known and respected historian, for the most part anyway. Foner is, however, not without his critics. Several years ago, I'd read a piece in National Review written by another historian, Ronald Radosh, which was critical of Foner's leftist ideology and its influence on his work, something to which Foner readily admits. I stumbled across that piece again recently. Oddly enough, both Foner and Ronald Radosh are children of card-carrying Communists; aka "red diaper babies." Radosh's piece can be read here.
While some readers will no doubt roll their eyes at this post, I would encourage you to read Radosh's article. It is quite revealing and, I believe, a fair criticism of Foner's approach to history. I post this, in part, due to some who criticize the right for politicizing history. As I stated, Foner admits this yet draws little criticism from his peers.

Dear Old Dominion,
I read with interest the article by Radosh . It seems bizarre that to cure America's ills Foner turned to the Soviet Union but loathing of one's own country is a topic George Orwell addresses in one of his essays. A curious phenomenon .
You're getting so intellectual I fear you're gettin' above your raisin' , son !

Hello David, thanks for stopping by. Yes, it is quite curious, isn't it? Especially when one looks at how well the Soviet experiment worked out.
As I noted, what is even more curious to me is how many academics overlook Foner's admission of leftist influence in his approach to history, while they slam other individuals and groups (like the SCV), for politicizing history. I think we have a credibility issue here, do we not? The critics seem to be rather selective in their concern over the politicization of history. I suppose leftist politicization is acceptable.

Exploring the Interface Between Brain and Computer
Aug. 27, 2012
A new computer engineering course that explores the emerging field of brain-computer interfacing is offered this fall.
"The course is one of the current topics within the computer engineering discipline that holds a lot of promise for the future," said Pradeep S. Nair, assistant professor of computer engineering, who is teaching the class. "In this course, students will explore the current developments taking place in this area of study, as well as learn about the research and development opportunities and challenges involved.
"Brain-computer interfacing involves the development of tools and techniques that make it possible for the human brain and computer to work in tandem with each other. The goal of these tools and techniques is to be able to solve problems that require mapping information from the brain in order to achieve a desired outcome," Nair explained.
Examples include using information from the brain to control and customize gadgets or prosthetics, according to user-needs.
"Brain-computer interfacing holds a lot of potential, especially in applications related to the field of medicine. For instance, BCI techniques can be used to restore vision in persons with certain forms of blindness," Nair said.

Nancy has been the victim of multiple stalkers. This is just one of her stories.
I met him when I was twenty-nine. He was the quintessential bad boy – tough,sexy, brooding, and a bit over-the-top emotionally. It was lust at first sight. We began to date and things were fine at first. In fact, I thought he was just perfect in every way. (except for that awful temper…) He would get jealous if other men so much as looked at me. I thought it was sweet. It meant he cared.
I had no idea who I was dealing with.
