Wisden obituary
Bobby Peel, who died at Morley, on August 12, aged 84, was one of the finest allround cricketers of any time. Primarily he was a bowler, the second in the remarkable succession of slow left-handers -- Edmund Peate, Peel, Wilfred Rhodes and Hedley Verity -- who rendered such brilliant service to Yorkshire over a period of sixty years. Born at Churwell, near Leeds, on February 12, 1857, Bobby Peel first played for his county in 1882, when Yorkshire were singularly rich in bowling talent, so that he had to wait several years before attaining real distinction. Still, being a capital fieldsman, especially at cover-point, and a punishing left-handed batsman, he kept his place in the team, and when Peate's connection with the county ceased in unhappy circumstances Peel came to the fore. For nine seasons, with his fine length, easy action and splendid command of spin, this sturdily built left-hander regularly took over 100 wickets for Yorkshire, his county total amounting to 1,550 at an average cost of 15 runs each. He was often a match-winner. In 1887 he took five Kent wickets for 14 runs in an innings and, with 43 runs in a low-scoring match, helped largely in a victory by four wickets. In the same season eleven Leicestershire wickets fell to him for 51 runs at Dewsbury, five in the first innings for four runs. A year later he took eight Nottinghamshire wickets in an innings for 12 runs, while in 1892 five wickets for seven runs in an innings and eight for 33 in the match against Derbyshire at Leeds was a startling performance. He did even better in 1895 against Somerset, 15 wickets falling to him in 36 overs for 5 runs, nine for 22 in one innings causing a sensation. At Halifax in 1897, a month before his county career ended, Peel dismissed eight Kent men in an innings for 53 runs, his match average showing eleven for 85; this performance gave Yorkshire an innings victory with 103 runs to spare in two days. Peel's full return in bowling in first-class cricket was 1,754 wickets at 16.21 runs apiece.
He did some remarkable things in Test matches with Australia, against whom he played for England twenty times. At Sydney in 1894, Australia set to get 177, hit off 113 of the runs for the loss of two wickets before stumps were drawn on the fifth day. The result then appeared a foregone conclusion, but strong sunshine followed heavy rain during the night. Peel slept through the storm. Astounded when he saw the drying pitch, he said to the English captain, Mr. Stoddart, gie me t' ball, and with Johnny Briggs, the Lancashire left-hander, also at his best, the remaining eight batsmen were disposed of for 53 runs. So England gained an extraordinary win by 10 runs after facing a total of 586, then a record for these Tests, the previous being Australia's 551 at The Oval in 1884. Peel's analysis in the fourth innings was six for 67. Peel also enjoyed a large share in winning the rubber match of that tour. He took seven wickets, scored 73 in a stand for 152 with A. C. MacLaren, and following a grand partnership for 210 by Albert Ward, of Lancashire, and J. T. Brown, of Yorkshire, the two best scorers of England's first innings hit off the runs, the victorious total being 298 for four wickets. In 1896 at Kennington Oval, with conditions very difficult for batsmen, he and J. T. Hearne got rid of Australia for 44. Peel's share in the victory by 66 runs was eight wickets for 53 runs, and his last innings analysis six wickets in 12 overs for 23 runs -- some revenge for getting a pair. Hearne's figures showed ten wickets for 60. That was the last match in which W. G. Grace led England to success over Australia.
Besides his great achievements as a bowler, Peel scored over 11,000 runs for Yorkshire, hitting two centuries. His highest innings was 226 not out against Leicestershire in 1892, and four years later he obtained 210 not out in a Yorkshire score of 887 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, a total which remains a county match record. Peel and Lord Hawke, who added 292 for the eighth wicket, F. S. Jackson and E. Wainwright all reached three figures in that innings -- then a record, four centuries in an innings. In 1889, the year in which the over was increased from four balls to five, Peel put together 158 in the Yorkshire second innings at Lord's, but yet was on the losing side, a brilliant 100 not out in eighty minutes by T. C. O'Brien taking Middlesex to victory by four wickets with ten minutes to spare. Yielding 1,295 runs for thirty-six wickets, the game produced a record aggregate for a match in England at the time.
Peel went four times to Australia, in 1884-85, 1887-88, 1891-92 and 1894-95, and in Test matches with Australia he took 102 wickets for less than 17 runs each. He also figured in Players teams against the Gentlemen from 1887 to 1897, taking in those games 48 wickets at a cost of 16 runs apiece.
He scored 1,206 runs and took 128 wickets in all matches in 1896, the year before his remarkable career came to an end. Sent off the field by Lord Hawke during a game at Bramall Lane and suspended for the remainder of the 1897 season, he was not seen again in the Yorkshire team. He did, however, appear for an England XI against Joe Darling's Australian side at Truro two years later, taking five wickets. His benefit match at Bradford in 1894 realised £2,000.
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack
Peel is possibly best remembered for being the man who in 1897 was banned from playing for Yorkshire by Lord Hawke after supposedly urinating on the pitch during a Championship game against Lancashire. That rumour is generally considered to have been an exageration, but what is beyond doubt is that he had drunk too much. The Almanack in 1942 wasn't up to mentioning such vulgar events. "Lord Hawke put his arm round me and helped me off the ground - and out of first-class cricket," Peel said. "What a gentleman!"

With the London Olympics fast upon us, WSJ.com introduces the athletes selected to compete at the Summer Games. Check back as CRT profiles athletes from China, Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong.
Li Na 李娜
Event: tennis
Born: Feb. 26, 1982
Li Na is known for being a rebel–on the court and off. The 30-year-old from the central province of Hubei became the first Asian-born tennis player to win a singles Grand Slam championship in 2011 and will be China's wealthiest tennis star to hit the Olympic courts.
Ms. Li defied her country's state-run sports program, which forced her to hand over 65% of her winnings, in 2008, when she left the Soviet-style program to start her own team, find her own sponsors, and pocket her own earnings.
Companies such as Nike, Visa, and Haagen-Daaz, have been showering Ms. Li with endorsement deals, making her one of the highest-paid female athletes, according to data compiled by Forbes magazine.
At her last Olympic showing during the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, Ms. Li lost a match that would have won her a bronze medal. She will try again in London, an event which many believe will be her last Olympics and final shot at taking home a medal.
"So few athletes have this chance to play in the Olympics for their country. I feel proud to compete."
–from an interview with the China Daily

6. Foo Fighters - "Walk"
Rock bands belong in outdoor tents, surrounded by happy fans who probably didn't think that they would get a chance to see their favorites perform live. Sometimes you don't need pyrotechnics and flashy on-stage antics to make a memorable moment.
7. Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt - "Sunday Kind of Love"
Etta James was another legend who passed away this year, and this short but sweet tribute by two famous fans was another highlight.
8. Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson - "Don't You Wanna Stay?"
Even though Kelly had some microphone problems at the start of the set, this traditional duet was about substance over style.
9. Taylor Swift - "Mean"
Recreating the rural 1930s look of its music video, Swift's "Mean" entertained her fans and didn't give her critics much to complain about.
10. Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band - "We Take Care of Our Own"
The debut single of the Band's 17th album, assisted by stringed instrumentation, opened the show on an upbeat note.
11. Rihanna - "We Found Love" and Coldplay - "Princess of China"/"Paradise"
There was much talk about this supposed duet between two very different acts, but other than a few lines from Rihanna crossing into the start of Coldplay's piece, they were mostly separated.

CASABLANCA (Jun. 1)
King Hassan II today received a Jewish delegation for the second time since taking over his late father's throne this year. The delegation was headed by Grand Rabbi Saul Danan, president of the Supreme Rabbinical Tribunal in Morocco. It presented greetings on the occasion of an Islamic religious feast and received an expression of thanks from the King for the interest shown by Moroccan Jewry.
Meyer Toledano, a Moroccan Jew who is assistant to the director of the Moroccan Ministry of Commerce and Industry, was commissioned today by the Government to study economic development methods in the United States.
He will go to Washington as a guest of the United States Government and remain in the United States for six months. His assignment is to study such American methods with a view as to their usefulness for Moroccan programs. He will also spend a month in Puerto Rico to study that country's industrial program.
Grand Rabbi Moise Malka was today named by the Minister of Justice to the post of vice-president of the Casablanca Rabbinical Tribunal. Rabbi Malka, 50, is a professor of Hebrew literature at the Institute for Higher Rabbinical Studies in Rabat.

Continued Access to Investigational Devices During PMA Preparation and Review July 15, 1996 (Blue Book Memo) (D96-1) (Text Only)
This guidance was written prior to the February 27, 1997 implementation of FDA's Good Guidance Practices, GGP's. It does not create or confer rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute, regulations, or both. This guidance will be updated in the next revision to include the standard elements of GGP's.
IDE Memorandum - #D96-1
Office of Device Evaluation (HFZ-400) Continued Access to Investigational Devices During PMA Preparation and Review ODE Review Staff Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to adopt an official policy on the continued access to investigational devices while a marketing application is being prepared or reviewed. Policy On May 10, 1995, the Office of Device Evaluation issued a memorandum to the ODE review staff explaining the conditions under which an investigational device may be made available during the preparation or review of a marketing application. Under this policy, a sponsor may propose to conduct an "extended" clinical trial if: 1) there is a public health need for the device and 2) there is preliminary evidence that the device is likely to be effective and no significant safety concerns have been identified for the proposed indication. A copy of the original memorandum dated May 10, 1995 is attached for reference and to provide further elaboration on this policy. Effective Date This memorandum is effective immediately. Susan Alpert, Ph.D., M.D. Attachment IDE Memorandum #D96-1 Attachment - Page 1 Date: May 10, 1995 From: Director, Office of Device Evaluation (ODE) Subject: Investigational Devices Exemption (IDE) Policy Which Permits Continued Access to Investigational Devices While a Marketing Application is Being Prepared or Reviewed To: ODE Review Staff It has recently been brought to my attention that the Office policy regarding continued availability of investigational devices during the period between completion of the clinical study and approval of the marketing application requires clarification. In the near future, a blue book memorandum will be developed which will provide specific guidance on this topic. In the mean time, however, ODE's reviewing divisions should use the general principles presented below as a guideline for developing appropriate criteria for their own use. ODE has traditionally permitted sponsors of clinical investigations to continue to enroll subjects at a pre-determined rate while a marketing application is being prepared by the sponsor or reviewed by the Office if there is: (1) a public health need for the device or (2) if there is preliminary evidence that the device is likely to be effective and no significant safety concerns have been identified for the proposed indication. Such a policy is scientifically sound as it allows the sponsors to collect additional safety and effectiveness data in support of the marketing application or to address new questions regarding the investigational device during this intervening period. This approach is also administratively appropriate as the preparation and review times for a marketing application can be lengthy; and thus, it could be contrary to the public health to prevent access to these potentially safe and effective new devices during a lengthy evaluation period. Once a preliminary review of the data (IDE, 510(k), or PMA) indicates that there is evidence of safety and effectiveness, a sponsor may propose to conduct an "extended" clinical investigation of the device. An extended investigation may be conducted for a number of reasons. For example, a sponsor may propose an extended trial for the same indication for use as studied under the IDE and use the same study protocol to provide confirmatory evidence of safety and effectiveness. A modified clinical protocol may be used to better define safety and effectiveness in a subpopulation, to support new indications for use or new modalities of use for the device, to identify and quantify adverse reactions, to address long-term effects of the device, to support additional labeling claims, or to confirm that minor changes made to the device design or to the conditions under which the device will ultimately be used do not substantially impact safety and effectiveness. IDE Memorandum - #D96-1 Attachment - Page 2 A request for an extended investigation must be submitted by the sponsor of the IDE in writing as a supplement to the IDE. When reviewing a request for an extended investigation from the sponsor, the sponsor's justification for the extension, the preliminary safety and effectiveness data (IDE, 510(k) or PMA), the risks posed by the device, the proposed rate of continued enrollment, the proposed objectives for the extended study, the sponsor's progress toward submission of the marketing application, and/or ODE's progress in the review of the marketing application should be considered. All of these factors may influence ODE's decision to approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the proposed protocol for this intervening period between completion of the core clinical investigation and approval of the marketing application. The above factors should also be considered by ODE when deciding upon an appropriate rate of enrollment, number of investigators, and number of investigational sites for the study during this stage of product development. Finally, a sponsor who has been negligent in his monitoring responsibilities or who has exhibited other unresolved compliance problems would not be permitted to participate in an extended investigation. An investigation conducted under the provisions of this policy must still be conducted in accordance with the IDE, IRB, and Informed Consent regulations (21 CFR 812, 56, and 50, respectively). FDA may withdraw approval for the extended investigation for any of the reasons identified in 21 CFR 812.30 (b), if the device is being commercialized, or if there is not satisfactory progression towards submission of the marketing application or towards approval of the marketing application. As in the withdrawal of approval of an IDE, however, ODE must make every attempt to resolve the issue(s) with the sponsor, must notify the sponsor in writing of the issue(s), and must notify the IDE Staff and the Director's office before proceeding with this course of action. Effective Date This memorandum is effective immediately. /s/ __________________________ Susan Alpert, Ph.D., M.D.

Choice picked up his sixth 100-yard game of the season, running for 170 yards and two touchdowns to lead Georgia Tech to a 41-24 victory over Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"He might be the best leader I've been around as far as getting everybody focused. I'm talking about practice, the night before a game, game day," Gailey said.
Choice, who has 16 100-yard games in his career, scored on runs of 1 and 16 yards despite playing with a sore hamstring. It was Choice's first action since undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 23. He suffered the injury in the first half of the Oct. 20th game against Army and missed just one game before his return against the Blue Devils.
On several runs, Choice broke into the open field but had to run out of bounds as his leg appeared to bother him. Yet, his performance put him over the 3,000-yard mark for his three-year career.
"My knee felt perfect today," Choice said. "My hamstring's a little sore and I have to work on that. I tried to go out there without a wrap on it and it got tight on me. But it was important for me to be on the field today."
Travis Bell kicked field goals of 40 and 33 yards in the first half for Georgia Tech (6-4, 3-4 ACC) to set a school record with 20 field goals.
Just two plays into the game, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas recovered a fumble in the end zone by D.J. Donley, who was hit near the goal line after catching a pass from Taylor Bennett to give Georgia Tech a 7-0 lead.
But Duke tied it as Choice fumbled on a hit by Greg Akinbiyi and cornerback Leon Wright returned it 24 yards for the score.
Duke (1-9, 0-7 ACC) led 10-7 on a 40-yard field goal by Nick Maggio midway through the first quarter, but the Yellow Jackets took the lead for good at 17-10 early in the second quarter on a 1-yard plunge by Bennett.
Bennett later hit wide receiver Correy Earls for a 38-yard score in the fourth quarter.
Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Eron Riley midway through the second quarter. Blue Devils' running back Re'Quan Boyette scored on an 11-yard run after Duke blocked a punt in the third quarter.
But the Duke offense struggled all afternoon. The Blue Devils gained just 24 rushing yards on 28 attempts, Lewis was sacked eight times, and Duke was 2-of-16 on third down.
"When we're in the position to make plays, we have to make those plays," Duke coach Ted Roof said. "When somebody pressures you, you have to make them pay. We didn't do that today and it cost us."

'Civic Theater' at Its Best
Often interviewers ask me if people's interest in public process is a fad, a farce, or the real thing. Of course I think it's the real thing, or I would not have spent two years writing a book about it. I'm always amazed when designers tell me that the public is not really interested in projects or process or design. Or worse, when my colleagues tell me that public involvement dumbs down the plan or design. Rather, if the public process is transparent, with all relevant information presented and explained in detail, and with the media and elected officials involved, I am convinced the public will make the right decision. If one of these elements is missing then, yes, people become paranoid, confused, and negative. You and I would, too.
With YouTube and many other Internet sites constantly keeping people informed about what's going on, it is hard to imagine that public process will ever become obsolete. A New England planning official told me that citizens in the Northeast are addicted to public meetings-it is high entertainment. And so it should be. I participated in that entertainment while working on Boston's Big Dig. It was "civic theater" at its best, one of the themes (and the inspiration for the subtitle) of my book.
Just as YouTube provided the first glimpse of the electorate directly challenging the presidential candidates, imagine what your hometown's city council meetings would look like with interactive technology. Activists could sit at home on their sofas and broadcast their questions directly to their elected officials. And we could hear the answers in real time. Many more could follow the process from the comfort of their own homes. It is not that far off.
In a recent interview on the Today Show, the founders of YouTube mentioned that they began their site in 2005. So the way I see it, we have about two years to make public process as entertaining and transparent as the CNN debates. People deserve the real thing. And I'm convinced the public will settle for nothing less.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
For 59 years, Village Shoe Shop has been on a mission to help people find shoes that fit perfectly. How, you ask. Well, for one, they customize shoes that support and hug every contour of your feet — they'll make a cast of your feet and then hand-craft your shoes. And we're not talking clunky orthopedic wear, but stylish get-ups in a variety of styles. They'll also repair your shoes, spiffing them up until they look almost like they did the first day you walked out of the store in them. We suggest you check Village Shoe Shop out — your aching feet will thank you.
What to say about Replay, the 19th Street Heights vintage boutique run by Laura Levine and "Crazy Mike" Hildebrand? It's simply the best vintage store in town and has been for years. It would be better to clue you in on how to shop at Replay in order to find the best deals. Follow them on Facebook, where they often post photos of their hauls and special discounts. Attend the numerous parties the staff throws, whether it's a street fest like Lights in the Heights or an art gathering with a DJ and photographer ready to catch you in those vintage duds. Looking for something specific, like, say, a vintage dirndl? Call the store and ask if they've seen any lately. If they have, they'll let you know, and even set it aside for you. And Houston now has double the vintage. In September, Levine and Hildebrand opened a second shop, called The Place Upstairs, above the Continental Club.
A rider recently posted to the Critical Mass Houston Facebook page to complain about a half-assed bike tuneup he'd received at one of those chain bicycle shops. "They took it in and two minutes later it rode out — they just shifted thru the gears and said it was fine." That sort of thing would never happen at West End. Blaine Grove and his team care about cyclists — all kinds of cyclists — whether you're looking for a daily commuter, a Dutch-style bike or something to ride in the MS 150. They'll even let you test-drive infinite styles through their Memorial Park-area neighborhood. The store's employees are almost all daily riders who won't hesitate to show your their own rig, and most are willing to make quick adjustments for you on the fly if you happen to be in the neighborhood. The best part, though, is that the service you'll get comes without snark or a "holier than thou" attitude, no matter what you ride. Plus they house an awesome vintage bike collection — not for sale, unfortunately.
Okay, so the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association is endorsing her opponent, but the Houston Police Department still loves her — just a sign of what happens when candidates become officeholders and there's not enough money to go around. Mayor Annise Parker, now running for a third term, stays on top of social media (we love that she follows the Houston Press Rocks Off music blog on Twitter) and is working the city's way back out of the reduced circumstances caused by the recession (public library hours are being restored!). She's gamely helped out promoting BARC's dog and cat of the week while presiding over City Council meetings in a fair and reasoned manner. The business background of this Rice University graduate and previous City Controller makes it difficult to paint her as anything but what she is: a competent, non-corrupt public official with a deep love of Houston, where she and her partner are raising a family. She doesn't sidestep her credentials with the Houston LGBT caucus but stresses that she's mayor of all of Houston. And she's staying focused on her goal of continuing to promote Houston as a good place to live and to add jobs.
There are few politicians, regardless of level, who can provide the emotive range of state Sen. Dan Patrick, who represents northwest Houston. Whether he's ripping into pro-choice advocates in a public hearing or choking up when discussing students eligible for his neo-vouchers, Patrick serves his deep-red district with enough artistic aplomb to make any televangelist jealous. And while he's seemingly content manning the Senate Education Committee, don't be surprised if Patrick soon reveals that his sights are set on higher office. His tears deserve a larger audience, anyway.
Since 1989, this behemoth of a flea village — we're talking more than 100 acres — has been a Valhalla for those who not only love a good deal, but love the hunt. You don't go to Traders Village on a quick errand — you go there for the day, and you inevitably wind up finding treasures you didn't expect. Furniture, clothes, music, art, home decor, tools, electronics, auto accessories, pet supplies, toys, luggage, appliances — Traders Village has it all, and at excellent prices. Whether you're on a solo sortie or you take friends or family, you're guaranteed to have a blast. Trust us.

HELENA, Mont. Only two Democratic presidential candidates have carried Montana since 1948. Barack Obama is betting he can do it in November.
With just three electoral votes and its reputation as a red state, Montana rarely sees presidential candidates in the summer before a general election. Republicans usually take the state for granted, while Democrats don't even try to contest it.
But Obama has been spending a sizable amount of time and money on Montana, hiring a state director and staff while running TV ads detailing his background and qualifications. Montana is among fewer than 20 states the campaign is targeting early.
"Montana is considered one of the very competitive states," Obama spokesman Caleb Weaver said.
Obama's even spending the Fourth of July in Montana, attending a parade and picnic in rough-and-tumble Butte, the hometown of motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, where drinking is allowed in the streets.
"He is the kind of candidate that has shown he can run competitively in these types of states because of his ability to attract new people to the process," Weaver said. "Sen. Obama is an independent figure. He is very attractive to the independent-minded spirit of Montanans."
Democrats have made gains in the state in recent years, electing a populist as governor and ousting a longtime Republican U.S. senator. But in 2004, even as Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer was winning, Democrat John Kerry lost Montana by 20 percentage points.
Montana has a long tradition of voting Republican in presidential elections -- Al Gore also lost by about 20 points. Bob Dole defeated Bill Clinton in 1996. Clinton did win four years earlier -- but only with about a third of the vote, after independent Ross Perot split the conservative vote.
The last Democrat to win the state without the help of a spoiler was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, when he trounced Barry Goldwater -- who, like this year's Republican candidate, John McCain, hailed from Arizona. But unlike McCain, Goldwater was marginalized as extreme.
Before that, the last Democrat to win Montana was Harry Truman, in 1948.
"It's unprecedented for a Democrat to come in and say that Montana is one of the 15 states we can win," said political scientist Craig Wilson, a longtime observer of Montana politics.
No other Democratic presidential candidate in memory has committed to Montana like Obama has this campaign season. His campaign promises "significant" investment in the state. And Democrats are buoyed by the possibility of a presidential campaign helping them with party building and get-out-the-vote efforts this fall.
McCain, on the other hand, has no staff in the state and has yet to visit Montana this election year. Yet the Republican still holds a natural advantage given the state's conservative bent, Wilson said.
"In my book, McCain still has to be the favorite in Montana," Wilson said. "Yes, Obama could win it. It just seems like a long shot."
The McCain campaign, meanwhile, remains confident. "The more often Barack Obama travels to Montana, the more voters will be reminded of why they disagree with him on the issues they care about most," said McCain spokesman Tom Steward.
Gun rights remain a key issue in Montana. Obama's position -- he agrees that the Second Amendment establishes an individual right to bear arms yet believes guns are subject to "reasonable and commonsense regulation" -- is viewed with skepticism by gun-rights advocates.
"It is a big deal out here," said state Rep. Dan Villa of Anaconda, a Democrat. "His mission over the next few months is to convince people he doesn't want their guns, he doesn't want more of their money. He needs to convince rural Montana we just want to leave you be."
Obama's trip to Butte takes him to a unique Montana mining town that is also the state's Democratic, union stronghold. It is one of a few places in Montana where Obama lost to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the state's June 3 primary.
"In Butte and Anaconda we have a real deep blue-collar streak," said Villa, who represents part of the area. "I think we saw that play out in the primary when Clinton won. But we are Democrats and will rally around him."
Democrats in the state were flattered when both Clinton and Obama visited during the primary -- and are stunned it will continue through the general election.
"There will be busloads of us going over to Butte," Villa said. "It's a pretty exciting time."

New Exhibits Highlight NCAR Summer Tours
BOULDER -- New exhibits highlight the summer schedule at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), which offers noontime guided tours of its Mesa Laboratory, Monday through Saturday, beginning June 14. No reservations are needed for the hour-long tours and there is no fee. The Mesa Laboratory, an award-winning creation of renowned architect I.M. Pei, is located at the west end of Table Mesa Drive (exit off U.S. 36) in southwest Boulder. Phone 303-497-1174 for recorded information. The summer schedule runs through September 4, when the winter timetable of Mondays and Wednesdays resumes.
New at NCAR's Mesa Lab: Static waves, thunderstorm detectives
Visitors to the Mesa Lab will encounter Static Landscape, a sculpture that responds when you tilt its disk back and forth, building up a static charge. Inside the clear Plexiglas disk are thousands of tiny steel balls (each about the size of a grain of sand). The static steers the balls in wildly varying, intricate patterns. This hands-on exhibit is inspired by ice crystals and other cloud particles that bump into each other and transfer electrical charge, helping to create complex electrical fields inside thunderstorms.
At Thunderstorm Detectives, visitors can press a button to make a cloud or see a microburst in action. Other favorite hands-on exhibits illustrate tornadoes, fog, wind shear, and other atmospheric phenomena. The Lightning Tube brings visitors into close contact with a very small bolt of "lightning." When visitors hold their hands near the tube, they become a lightning rod, attracting current and creating tiny lightning bolts inside the tube. Also in the tour are interactive displays on real-time weather and climate change, exhibits on aviation weather hazards, and several robotic weather instruments. NCAR's scientific computing facility, including its high-performance supercomputers from Cray, Silicon Graphics, and Hewlett-Packard, is also on view.
Gaze at art, grab a bite, or take a hike
Inspired by Mesa Verde, the landmark Mesa Lab commands spectacular views of the city below and easy access to hiking trails at the foot of the Flatirons, Boulder's signature mountains. Two art galleries offer changing displays (see Art Exhibitions), and the library and cafeteria are open to the public on weekdays.
A new collage, Explore the Mesa, portrays the flora, fauna, and geology to be seen outside NCAR's back door. Among the trails on and around the NCAR mesa is the Walter Orr Roberts Weather Trail, the nation's only interpretive weather trail and the only wheelchair-accessible nature trail in Boulder. A guidebook, Natural Features of NCAR's Mesa Site, is available in the lobby. Visit the weather trail on the Web.
For those who cannot take the noontime guided tour, a self-guided tour is available throughout the day, seven days a week. The building's hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. NCAR tour information is available on the Web.
The noontime tours are for individuals and families; organized groups wishing to tour NCAR should make a reservation for another time of day by calling 303-497-1173.
NCAR is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under sponsorship by the National Science Foundation.

text: Hi- Thought I would share my tale of a good experience at De Simone BMW where I recently took delivery of an X3 2.5i. The sales person (Mark Kaminski) was extremely professional and helped me secure a great deal without resenting me for negotiating for my best price. The vehicle was expertly prepared for delivery. Paperwork was promptly presented and every facet of the transaction and detail of the vehicle was explained in a clear and expeditious manner. This agency seems to have a huge inventory of vehicles in stock. They do not stand on ceremony or fall so in love with their products or themselves as to dismiss offers from ernest potential buyers. Hopefully my experience owning and driving the X3 will be as satisfactory as my experience purchasing the vehicle from De Simone. Best Regards- Kevan Green

Criminals' Families Also Do Hard Time
By Allie Thomas
June 25, 2004
As the ex-wife of a white-collar criminal, I get a knot in my stomach reading the ongoing saga about pleas and sentencing for the tax-cheating wife of Enron fraudster Andrew Fastow. Lea Fastow is scheduled to start her one-year sentence July 12. The innocent Fastow children would be left alone if Mom and Dad went to jail at the same time, and the Fastows have been trying to convince the judge, with the help of sympathetic prosecutors, to juggle their prison terms so one could be home at all times. I'm outraged — and envious — that such special treatment has even been under consideration in Houston.
I wasn't so fortunate. I woke up one day in 1992 in my beautiful suburban home in Pennsylvania, the dutiful wife of a prosperous businessman, and went to bed that night with my husband in jail and facing the future as a homeless, penniless, single mother pregnant with my fourth child. I had no idea my husband had been committing fraud at his company. When the dust settled, he drew a harsh 10-year sentence, which we all got to serve right along with him. There were times when I wished I could swap places. Jail might have been a vacation from the misery we lived through on the outside.
I became a have-not overnight. Within an hour of my husband's arrest, our bank accounts were frozen, and the kids and I were cast into a black hole without so much as a match. I was forced to sell every material possession we owned, right down to my engagement ring. After three years of his 10-year sentence, the marriage snapped. The kids and I went on welfare, lived on food stamps and coupons, community handouts and a prayer or two. But it wasn't enough.
Realizing I would have to reinvent myself, I put my three sons in a boarding school for disadvantaged kids — a good one and free, but an orphanage of sorts nonetheless. For eight long years, I saw them once a month while I lived with my baby and my parents in their modest home. I went back to school, worked in my spare time and earned a graduate degree. I took any kind of work I could find and scraped by until one day I finally was able to bring my children home, the pain of separation and shame permanently etched on their faces. In some ways, my children were more fortunate than most with parents behind bars. At least I had the knowledge, instinct and opportunity to find them a safe place while I got my life back together.
Millions of families are forgotten and left to drift in our nation's frenzy to keep everyone who ever made a mistake locked up. The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other nation, both in absolute numbers — 2.1 million — and on a per capita basis — 1 in 143 men, women and children. The direct cost of building and running jails is now about $50 billion a year. The indirect cost to families and society is incalculable.
As outraged as I've been that the wealthy, connected Fastows might get special treatment, my real outrage is saved for the long, harsh sentences that Congress has forced judges to hand out to many nonviolent offenders. Yes, my husband committed a crime that left hundreds out of work and economic wreckage in the millions. But 10 years is a long time, during which he could have paid his debt and obtained psychological help, worked at some sort of job, helped support his family and made restitution to his victims.
Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said this week that we must change how we decide who goes to jail, how long their sentences are and what happens when they get out. He was responding to a new American Bar Assn. report recommending an end to the mandatory sentencing guidelines under which my husband was given his decade-long sentence.
In addition to sentencing that is humane, what's needed are fewer occupied prison cells and more rehabilitation and education facilities for convicts; a bill of rights for children of accused and imprisoned parents that requires judges to take them into account when sentencing; and programs that help families stay together — for their sake and for the sake of convicts, who are less likely to re-offend if they maintain family ties.
Our public policy should not be designed to punish — and keep punishing — families and society along with criminals. Failure to address this issue will simply grow the already swollen ranks of this hidden underclass, perpetuating a costly and cruel embarrassment in a nation that prides itself on true justice.

Yesterday Miss L and I made her Harvest Festival box for the service this weekend at the Cathedral. We fill it with canned and dried foods and then it gets taken to the local Food Bank for distribution. I think it's one her of best ones yet – all her own design with a little help from me.
I must admit it's a bit odd as a non religious person to have a daughter who's interested in religion, but each to their own!. However I'm really looking forward to seeing her at the Cathedral on Sunday as she's reciting part of a poem to the whole congregation, I'd be terrified, she's looking forward to it!

I see it all the time: The elementary-aged kid on my boat with his much more experienced bass fisherman dad outfishes his father 4 to 1.
In the early days, I really thought of this as beginners' luck. But after seeing it so often for so long, I began to look for reasons for this great difference in results. I've narrowed it down to one thing: hook-setting.
Fishermen, and especially experienced bass fishermen who rely on soft plastic baits heavily, tend to develop an instinctual, reflexive, hard, sweeping hook set. Beginners, on the other hand, typically do little or nothing when a fish strikes. Sometimes this do-nothing approach is much more effective than overdoing it.
In the summer months, when topwater schooling activity typically peaks, several species on our local reservoirs (Belton, Stillhouse, Georgetown, Waco, and Walter E. Long) tend to feed at the surface more than during any other season of the year. Smaller largemouth bass up to 15 or 16 inches (often called "schoolies"), hybrid striped bass, and white bass are the species most prone to feed on topwater. These schooling fish work together to herd forage fish (typically threadfin shad) to the surface, pin them there and then feed on them. This behavior is more common at low-light times such as sunrise, sunset and when heavy cloud cover reduces direct sunlight.
I tell my clients to envision that for every fish that can be seen with the naked eye, there are 20-30 more fish beneath that cannot be seen. School sizes can easily range into the hundreds.
When fishing for schooling fish, I always advise my clients to look at the entire school, figure out the way they are heading, and then place a cast beyond the school (by casting completely over the top of the school) and just a few feet ahead of the school's direction of travel.
As the lure is retrieved and struck by the fish in the school, I suggest simply maintaining the speed and cadence that attracted the fish in the first place without setting the hook until a fish has successfully hooked itself.
If the first fish that hits your bait gets hooked, you have accomplished your purpose. But if the first (or second or third) fish that strikes does not hook itself, your presentation is still right there in the thick of the school to attract another taker from the vast number of aggressive individuals in the school.
Were you to set the hook with a powerful rod sweep when that first fish hit, your bait would travel rapidly 8-12 feet away from the school at an unnatural speed, permanently breaking contact with the entire school.
Many times what looks (and can feel) like a strike is actually more of a "swat." I've observed this at boatside hundreds of times. As two or more fish close in on the same bait for "the kill," they detect one another and one or both will divert at the last second. This can result in a misleading splash or "boil" on the surface that looks like the fish has just taken the bait. Many fishermen will mistakenly set the hook when spotting this boil beneath their bait. Sometimes one of the fish will continue on toward the bait but just nip at the tail end, never getting a hook in its mouth. Keeping your bait in that vicinity as long as possible — refraining from setting the hook and pulling the bait far from these actively feeding fish — will allow other members of the school to move in and take your offering.
Topwater schooling action is not the only type of schooling action that exists — it is just the easiest to recognize. Whenever you are dealing with a concentration of fish, whether they are on the surface, just beneath the surface, suspended at mid-depth, or holding on bottom, if you are using a horizontal tactic to attract them (poppers, crank baits, lipless crank baits, spinners, tails-spinners, swim baits, etc.) this guidance applies.
Intentional concentration is the key. If you know you are prone to setting the hook hard, when you find yourself in a schooling fish situation, you must concentrate on not setting the hook by mentally rehearsing not setting the hook as you work your bait. Literally tell yourself, "I will not set the hook when I get a hit. ... I will not set the hook when I get a hit." If your concentration wanes, your subconscious takes over and you'll revert to your old reflex of a hard hook-set.
Give this a try. Perhaps this will be the week you outfish that kindergarten student.

The Best Plants to Attract Butterflies to Your Garden

Sometimes, lovely plants and flowers aren't enough. What can really make a garden shine is the little creatures that are found fluttering around it. I'm talking about butterflies. After all, there's a reason butterfly gardens are so popular.
The insects are a picture of beauty and can make your garden look truly alive. To attract butterflies, there are certain plants you can get to increase your chances.

I love Flipped Bird! I purchased my first messenger bag three years ago and have carried it every day - it is still in amazing shape. I purchased this bag just to switch it up some - it is adorable! I get compliments daily on these bags. They are the best!

Bing Bang Boing was a genius 1970s board-game where players laid out trampolines, funnels, spirals, elevators and other apparatus and then released marbles through the run you'd built. The effect is basically Mousetrap with bouncing, and it features heavily in the kids' toys cartoons I blogged this morning.
Rob, a blogger, recreated Bing Bang Boing for his kids with balloon-and-peanut-can trampolines and other props, and has details on how he did it, along with a video of the toy in action. Link (Thanks, hexmonkey!)

Ugh I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose this morning. I don't know if I should go to church or not. I am drinking some hot tea now and hopefully I will feel slightly better in the next 30 minutes or so.
A Christian, crunchy, homeschooling southern wife to D and mama to A (5) who loves ( , ,, and )
Thanks for the new thread, doularebekah!
J16n33, so sorry you're not feeling well :( Hope it passes quickly!
AFM, I'm thrilled that today is 11DPO and no sign of AF! I mean, no sign of pregnancy either, and my temp is dropping rather than climbing so I'm sure AF is on her way, BUT that means my LPs are getting longer and I didn't even use progesterone cream this month! Wahoo!
Yay! New Thread!
J16n33: I felt the exact same way this morning, what are the allergen counts by you? I'm in Austin, and right now we are having a TON of cedar in the air, which I am pretty allergic to.
DoulaRebekah: Please move me to 2ww: AF is due on the 12th and I am trying so hard not to test!
I have been VERY queasy, smells are bothering me, my boobs feel heavy, and I'm MOODY. These are good signs, yes?
Kat- 27: Artist, Yogi, Wife, Animal lover...
DoulaRebekah... Can I be moved to Waiting to Know? Thank you!
AAM... My nipples are a wee bit tender. That means my hormones are present and doing their job! So nice to have further proof that I'm not out of the game yet.
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
J16n33 - Oh man, I'm sorry you're not well! We've had this weird summer cold going around here that we've all got, it's the worst not feeling like yourself! Hope you feel better soon!
dbl_my_luv - That's awesome news!
Stevi & KatCooke - Done! You both sound like your bodies are doing what they're meant to, fingers crossed!
AFM - I'm pretty sure that I'm now in the 2WW for real, I guess I'm just a late ovulator!
Doula, teacher, designer, maker. Living above the mangroves, looking out over the water in beautiful Aotearoa with my husband, our dear friends and a little grey cat.
Doularebekah- thank you for the new thread!
J16n33- sorry you are not feeling well! I have had a bad weekend at work. I work in an Assisted Living Facility and on Friday we had 5 sick people with diarrhea and throwing up, this morning we had 38! It is spreading like a wildfire, some people are confused and it is very hard to quarantine them to their rooms! I hope I won't get it and that this is not what you are having!
AFM- AF is due next Sunday, so I hope she won't show up! It is my Birthday on Sunday, so that would be the best present ever! I have been urinating a lot, I am very exhausted (which could be because of all the sicky people at work) and I have been feeling nauseated all week. So, I hope those are good signs!
Lots of positive 2ww-ers here! Yay! KatCooke, my AF is also due on the 12th. You can join John16n33 and I trying to keep each other away from the tests til Tuesday!
John 16n33, I'm sorry you're sick. I feel like in my house we get sick ALL THE TIME!! I decided to start putting it in ff because I don't know if I imagine it or not, but I feel like it's at least one virus every month! DD is sick now, it's the first time I haven't gotten it, too. FWIW, I'm pretty obsessed with Umcka. It's a name brand for an African herb/plant called Umckaloabo (umcka) a/k/a Pelargonium sidoides a/k/a South African Geranium. You can even get it most CVS/Wallgreens pharmacies. It's very popular in Europe. I prefer the kind you mix in hot water (like theraflu) but you can also get it in chewables or syrup. I really believe that it helps shorten the duration of a virus and keeps it from getting into the lungs and sinuses as badly. HTH. I HATE being sick so often, but if you take Umcka early it really has helped us. Good Luck!
Doularebekah, sounds like that you may just O later. Hope you caught it! BTW you are a very good threadkeeper!
Stevi sounds good! FXed for you!
dbl_my_luv, FXed for you, too! Missed why you did no progesterone this month. Any reason?
LisaAdkins, FXed for you, too! Yuck - I'm so bad with puke - mine or otherwise. It's terrible. I'd totally suck at your job! Hope that's not why you're queasy!
We and so on...
Thanks for the new thread!!!
My LO turned 3 months on the 31st. Wahhh, where does the time go? =(
Me: , DH: , Two , Two , DS: (10/31/11), DD: (9/17/13).
JPack: Too late, I couldn't resist! I bought a bunch from Save on tests, and I SWEAR there was a very faint, but visible line!!!
(As I'm typing this, I realize that this is not helping you guys wait it out...lol) But I will be re-testing next week for sure.
Kat- 27: Artist, Yogi, Wife, Animal lover...
Oh wow, KatCooke! That's exciting! Lots of sticky healthy vibes to you!
jpack, my naturopath wanted a day 21 progesterone test without the influence of the cream, so I skipped it this month. Also, I felt our chances of having caught an egg this cycle were pretty low, so I didn't feel worried about going without it.
I have to go get my kids moving on schoolwork. It's amazing I want more children when we have days like these around here! They're making me nuts!
Way to go KatCooke! Good Luck! FXed for you!! Hey, when the spirit moves you and there are cheapies callin' from the bathroom closet... right?! Keep us posted!
Dbl_my_luv interesting about the progesterone. Good to get a comparison, yeah?
John16n33 - hope you're feeling better! I totally caught my DD's cold. Bleh, but I don't think it's too bad of a cold... FXed it'll pass quick.
AFM Off to get my results from the 3dpo blood work. Got a message, "Everything looks good, but [midwife] wants you to redo the progesterone cd26-8, so we'll have the order here for you."Kinda thought that would happen! I'm interested to know the #s, so we're gonna go get them now.
We and so on...
TTCCorC, I can't believe your LO is 3 months already! WOW!!!! It seems like your BFP was just a few months ago!
Well, I think you can safely move me to the 2ww, please! I'm not exactly sure what day I O'd but I'm pretty sure that it happened... and it was a doozy! I had about 2-3 days of VICIOUS O pains, nausea and some other really nasty O signs that I don't care to repeat again. I'm not sure if that's because of the loss or what but I don't ever remembering feeling it quite like that. I never did get any CM to definitely say when O occurred but that's because of lots and lots of BDing and also because I wasn't really internally checking. I was playing this cycle cool, calm and relaxed and just enjoying my hubby and our child-free room so I didn't obsess. Now I'm kind of hoping for a Valentine's day BFP... although, I know I'll chicken out and not bother testing. I'm scared of those stupid sticks, even more so because of the loss now. Pbbbbffffttttt! They really should invent a belly button ring that just lights up when you're preggo. Would make my life so much easier.
A2E- LOL!!! I like your belly button idea!
AFM- I have been spending half of my day on fertility friend. Many of the charts that showed a pregnancy were able to test + on 9 DPO or 10 DPO. I think I might go tomorrow and buys some HPT from the $ store. I want to know already! I hate this week or not knowing what is going on at all!
jpack- Oh no! I hope you start feeling better soon. I feel slightly better, but not 100%. My head is still so congested I feel like it's about to explode. I am chicken and dumplings tonight with A LOT of garlic so hopefully that helps some.
Lisa- Your doing a lot better than me! I am only 5dpo and already tested today lol. I have 23 Wondfo cheapies left though so it wasn't too big of a deal.
AFM- The only symptom I have had so far is extreme fatigue, I actually took nap today while the kids did. But I get more tired every cycle after o'ing and I have a cold so I'm not reading into it much.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the new thread DoulaR! Please move me to the 2WW. I am on CD17 or something close to that. I think I O'd on CD13-15, or thereabouts. I am not charted, except to notice signs when they are obvious.
It sounds like a lot of us are sick right now. I got a sinus thing yesterday and now I am feeling a nauseated, but I think it is more nerves than anything else. The acacias are blooming, so allergies on top of a cold. Fun! I would suspect just allergies, but DD came down with it too.
I am feeling a little down and stressed right now. I have been a SAHM since Wednesday. But on Friday I smashed my pinky finger in the door and on Sunday I got a cold, so I am feeling thwarted. At least my DD is eating well. She ate ALL her broccoli tonight and a few sardines with very little bargaining. A triumph!
I have been TTC since December of 2005, and I just bought my first batch of cheap Internet HPTs (Wondfro). LOL
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
anyalily- I'm sorry you are sick too. I wonder what the heck is going around? I am just grateful that we have not caught the stomach virus that is going around here too.
A Christian, crunchy, homeschooling southern wife to D and mama to A (5) who loves ( , ,, and )
Anyalily - bummer about the cold and pinky! Sorry to hear that! great about DD eating well though.
Stevi - That's so funny!
A2E - I had extra cramping at O this cycle, too! I'd never noticed it before, and maybe it is because of the loss, but yeah, I had some wierdness, too. Lets hope it was just for super crazy ovulation awesomeness! LOL about the bellybutton ring! I've already gotten a couple BFNs. bleh- I peed on SO MANY sticks last cycle hoping for darker and darker lines, it's like I got a bad habit! I wish I was more hesitant like you. I think I'm setting my self up for .
We and so on...
KatCooke: Fingers crossed that you did see a line! Good luck!
To all my sick dearies: We've been sick with colds around my house, with my 4 yo getting pink eye last week and being out from preschool for 3 days with fever and yuck. Get some rest and take lots of vitamin C!
AFM: Well, on to cycle #6. Got my AF on Sunday, so please DoulaRebekah, can you move me to Waiting to O? My husband went in for another SA on Monday and failed miserably. With my son recovering from pink eye over the weekend, we didn't have a chance to DTD when we should have on Saturday, so my DH took care of business on his own on Sunday. The clinic wanted him to have 48 hours between "donations" but he ended up with 24 hours. As you remember, when he got his results from the last test the lady on the phone was a bit unprofessional. She was very unprofessional when he made the deposit in the clinic the first time as well. I think she thinks she is cute or something. So when my DH did his SA yesterday, I think her stupid comments really got to him mentally, so his sample was much smaller than last time, and after the fact, they yelled at him for not abstaining for 48 hours like they asked. They told him not to expect great results, and that the results would most likely be worse than last time. They instantly rescheduled him for another SA and are having him do it from home and drive it in to them so he'll be more comfortable and get a better product. This last "failure" was partly our fault for not abstaining the 48 hours and leaving only a 24 hour gap, and also sort of their fault for not providing a safe, comfortable environment. But this also is a little eye opening since most months we usually go everyday once my AF stops. I know you should go every other day, but my ovulation is so wonky that we never know if we're going to miss it, so we just did it everyday, sometimes 10 days in a row, to make sure we hit ovulation. If his numbers are drastically reduced and don't bounce back within 24 hours, this may be part of our problem. Honestly, I don't know if his numbers were down because a guy's sample isn't as great if he isn't "turned on", and procuring a sample by yourself at a clinic is not sexy or if its because there really is a problem. Having to do it a second time after less than stellar results and being mocked or belittled won't produce a better product. I'm looking at getting my husband on some sort of natural supplement to increase his count. Anyone have experience with or know of a good supplement? Also, DH is an avid bike rider, so I'll have him cut that out. The sad thing is that most natural methods of increasing count take MONTHS to really do anything. It feels like one step forward and two steps back. Not really moving toward our goal of getting pregnant, but understanding why we haven't.
Myllissa (31) + DH (32) = DS (4), & Expecting Baby #2 Due Febuary 2013!
Way to go KatCooke! I hope you post the dark line soon!
myllissa - really sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you're on the path to fixing things, even if it's a long path.
dbl_my_luv - when do you plan to test? I am in a similar place (no AF, but temps are low). I'm trying really hard not to waste a test.
DS born 5/23/10. Trying for #2 since May 2011.

Analily, yay for broccoli! My kids used to love it, but they've gone sour on it. Not sure why, but they're into kale these days, so I won't complain. Hope you feel better soon! Being a SAHM mom takes a lot of adjustment time. Not to paint a gloomy picture, but when I left my job, even though I loved being with my son, it took me a year, at least, to feel like this was the new "normal." But wow, it's been so worth it!
Stevi, yay for cheap tests!
jpack, I agree... let's hope the O pains were super eggy awesomeness! FXd for you!
myllissa, OMG! I can't believe that the clinicians would be so unprofessional. That's got to effect the results. Ick. I'm interested in herbs for DH, too, so if I find anything out, I'll let you know.
LindsayDawn, I actually tested this morning because I'm 13DPO and I don't know how long its been since I've seen a 13DPO!! BFN though. Should have known because I have backache and I never had backache the cycles I was pg. But I am so so so super-excited about my LP!!
AFM, I'm in the middle of a 21-day cleanse diet, so nothing but veggies and protein shakes for me these days. I'm doing ok with that, except that I haven't lost any more weight :( I need to lose 75 pounds to be in a decent range of a healthy BMI, and having cut my calories to 1400-1600 per day and not seeing any results is FRUSTRATING! I just want a freakin' cracker! lol! Will talk to the naturopath about it today. Hopefully we can do something to boost the burn.
Can you add me to waiting to "O". My hubby and I, after trying not to conceive naturally for 3years now, are going to start trying this month. We have three children already DS 6.5yo, DD almost 5, DD 3.... It seems kind of crazy but we never thought we were done... just needed a long break! I think making a baby should be fun after avoiding it for so long! Good luck to you all!
Sarah- wife to one handsome man, mama to three bouncing children and carrying #4!
Not sure when to test next- I'm thinking I'll hold off as long as possible (which for me, will likely be tomorrow morning...lol)
I'm wondering about prenatals now. I'm taking the nature made prenatal with dha, but it's got some scary chemicals and dyes in it, so I want to switch to either the new chapter or garden of life prenatals, and getting a separate omega/dha supplement?
What do you ladies think about prenatals in general? What sort of supplements are you taking?
Kat- 27: Artist, Yogi, Wife, Animal lover...
I take the Rainbow Light Prenatals Ones-the ones you only have to take once a day. I also take B6, B12, and sometimes garlic.
A Christian, crunchy, homeschooling southern wife to D and mama to A (5) who loves ( , ,, and )
I can't afford the fancy stuff, I've been on Prenatals since 2006, so I just take the cheapie brand.
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
Me - 40 - mthfr c677t and multiple unknown caused m/c's
DH - 41 - old and cranky
DS - 6 - ASD and severe adhd
Meagan, are you taking the B vitamins for any other reason- are you veggie?
Kat- 27: Artist, Yogi, Wife, Animal lover...
No I was taking the B6 to increase my cm quality/amount and the B12 is something I have been taking since high school.

UPPER MERION Ś The king is getting some new digs, and itÆs going to be a whopper of a castle.
Just two months shy of its 50th anniversary, the Burger King on DeKalb Pike in King of Prussia was demolished Wednesday to make way for a stone and stucco beauty featuring a drive-through and a Wired Your Way Cafķ Ś amenities fitting the kingÆs royally updated new image.
Debuting on Aug. 13, 1963 as store number 113 under the future fast food empireÆs brief ownership of partners James McLamore and David Edgerton, the intriguing fresh concept in fast casual dining that specialized in Whopper and Whaler (fish) sandwiches, French fries and milk shakes kicked off in King of Prussia the same year as The Plaza, another icon thatÆs gone through a radical transformation over the years.
The 568 W. DeKalb Pike store was the first Home of the Whopper Ś an enduring trademark that will figure prominently into the signage of the new design Ś to stake its claim in the area, ahead of Trooper (store number 179) and Blue Bell (363).
ōThe new Burger King will be bigger and better, with LED lighting to be more energy efficient,ö said Greg Winans, vice president and director of operations for franchise owner U.S. Restaurants, Inc. ōIt will be a warm and inviting new restaurant.ö
The Blue Bell-based company owns and operates 34 Burger King restaurants in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, including the aforementioned Trooper and Blue Bell locations.
Winans indicated that the staff will be ready to take your order at the new and improved BK sometime in September.
Also taken out by the wrecking ball on Wednesday was the house next door to Burger King, which had been the home of King of Prussia Veterinary Hospital since 1956.
The veterinary practice recently relocated to a shopping center across town on East Beidler Road in King of Prussia.
ōThe old house used to be a good visual point for us for people on 202 because they knew where Burger King was and the mall, but with all the congestion 202 was creating in recent years it was becoming more difficult for clients to get to us without navigating mall traffic and rush hour traffic,ö said Dr. Jennifer Clarke, whose father, Dr. George Jeitles, had bought the practice from founder Dr. John Church and his partner, Ramsey Buchanan, in 1988. ōWhat was an asset for us for so many years turned out to be more of a negative lately.ö
In the demolition derby thatÆs been seen around town of late, ChiliÆs restaurant beat Burger King by a couple of weeks.
Much of the popular Mexican eateryÆs structure at 739 DeKalb Pike, King of Prussia, was torn down to accommodate a makeover that includes more sidewalks.
ōThe new ChiliÆs will be about the size of the old one, but it will be all on one level,ö said Upper Merion Township Manager David Kraynik. ōIÆve seen this happen with McDonaldÆs all the time in Philadelphia, where they tear the building down and build it back up with a brand new modern restaurant. In some cases business are choosing to just tear down and start over with new construction. My experience is that itÆs not unusual; thatÆs the way itÆs being done now.ö
