Had I any premonition of the astounding fact thus suddenly and, I may say, dramatically revealed to us during the weeks I had devoted to the elucidation of the causes and circumstances of Mrs. Jeffrey's death? I do not think so. Nothing in her face, as I remembered it; nothing in the feeling evinced toward her by husband or sister, had prepared me for a disclosure of crime so revolting as to surpass all that I had ever imagined or could imagine in a woman of such dainty personality and unmistakable culture. Nor was the superintendent or the district attorney less confounded by the event. Durbin only tried to look wise and strut about, but it was of no use; he deceived nobody. Veronica Moore's real connection with Mr. Pfeiffer's death,--a death which in some inscrutable way had in so short a time led to her own,--was an overwhelming surprise to every one of us.
The superintendent, as was natural, recovered first.
"This throws quite a new light upon the matter," said he. "Now we can understand why Mr. Jeffrey uttered that extraordinary avowal overheard on the bridge: 'She must die!' She had come to him with blood on her hands."
It seemed incredible, nay more, unreal. I recalled the sweet refined face turned up to me from the bare boards of this same floor, the accounts I had read of the vivacity of her spirits and the wild charm of her manner till the shadow of this old house fell upon her. I marveled, still feeling myself in the dark, still clinging to my faith in womankind, still asking to what depths her sister had followed her in the mazes of crime we were forced to recognize but could not understand.
Durbin had no such feelings and no such scruples, as was shown by the sarcastic comment which now left his lips.
"So!" he cried, "we have to do with three criminals instead of two. Nice family, the Moore-Jeffreys !"
But no one paid any attention to him. Addressing the major, the district attorney asked when he expected to hear from Denver, adding that it had now become of the first importance to ascertain the exact relations existing between the persons under suspicion and the latest victim of this deadly mechanism.
The major's answer was abrupt. He had been expecting a report for days. He was expecting one yet. If it came in at any time, night or day, he was to be immediately notified. Word might be sent him in an hour, in a minute.
Were his remarks a prophecy? He had hardly ceased speaking when an officer appeared with a telegram in his hand. This the major eagerly took and, noting that it was in cipher, read it by means of the code he carried in his pocket. Translated, it ran thus:
Result of open inquiry in Denver.
Three brothers Pfeiffer; all well thought of, but plain in their ways and eccentric. One doing business in Denver. Died June, '97. One perished in Klondike, October, same year; and one, by name Wallace, died suddenly three months since in Washington.
Nothing further gained by secret inquiry in this place.
Result of open inquiry in Owosso.
A man named Pfeiffer kept a store in Owosso during the time V. M. attended school there. He was one of three brothers, home Denver, name Wallace. Simultaneously with V. M.'s leaving school, P. broke up business and at instigation of his brother William, who accompanied him, went to the Klondike. No especial relation between lady and this same P. ever noted. V. M. once heard to laugh at his awkward ways.
Result of secret inquiry in Owosso.
V. M. very intimate with schoolmate who has since died. Often rode together; once gone a long time. This was just before V. M. left school for good. Date same as that on which a marriage occurred in a town twenty miles distant. Bride, Antoinette Moore; groom, W. Pfeiffer of Denver; witness, young girl with red hair. Schoolmate had red hair. Had V. M. a middle initial, and was that initial A?
We all looked at each other; this last question was one none of us could answer.
"Go for Mr. Jeffrey at once," ordered the major, "and let another one of you bring Miss Tuttle. No word to either of what has occurred and no hint of their possible meeting here."
It fell to me to fetch Miss Tuttle. I was glad of this, as it gave me a few minutes by myself in which to compose my mind and adjust my thoughts to the new conditions opened up by the amazing facts which had just come to light. But beyond the fact that Mrs. Jeffrey had been answerable for the death which had occurred in the library at the time of her marriage--that, in the words of the district attorney, she had come to her husband with blood on her hands, my thoughts would not go; confusion followed the least attempt to settle the vital question of how far Miss Tuttle and Mr. Jeffrey had been involved in the earlier crime and what the coming interview with these two would add to our present knowledge. In my anxiety to have this question answered I hastened my steps and was soon at the door of Miss Tuttle's present dwelling place.
I had not seen this lady since the inquest, and my heart beat high as I sat awaiting her appearance in the dim little parlor where I had been seated by the person who held her under secret surveillance. The scene I had just been through, the uncertain nature of the relations held by this beautiful woman both toward the crime just discovered and the one long associated with her name, lent to these few moments of anticipation an emotion which poorly prepared me for the touching sight of the patient smile with which she presently entered.
But I doubt if she noticed my agitation. She was too much swayed by her own. Advancing upon me in all the unconscious pride of her great beauty, she tremulously remarked:
"You have a message for me. Is it from headquarters? Or has the district attorney still more questions to ask?"
"I have a much more trying errand than that," I hastened to say, with some idea of preparing her for an experience that could not fail to be one of exceptional trial. "For reasons which will be explained to you by those in greater authority than myself, you are wanted at the house where--" I could not help stammering under the light of her melancholy eyes--" where I saw you once before," I lamely concluded.
"The house in Waverley Avenue?" she objected wildly, with the first signs of positive terror I had ever beheld in her.
I nodded, dropping my eyes. What call had I to penetrate the conscience of this woman?
"Are they there? all there?" she presently asked again. "The police and--and Mr. Jeffrey?"
"Madam," I respectfully protested, "my duty is limited to conducting you to the place named. A carriage is waiting. May I beg that you will prepare yourself to go at once to Waverley Avenue?"
For answer she subjected me to a long and earnest look which I found it impossible to evade. Then she hastened from the room, but with very unsteady steps. Evidently the courage which had upborne her so long was beginning to fail. Her very countenance was changed. Had she recognized, as I meant she should, that the secret of the Moore house was no longer a secret confined to her own breast and to that of her unhappy brother-in-law?
When she returned ready for her ride this change in her spirits was less observable, and by the time we had reached the house in Waverley Avenue she had so far regained her old courage as to move and speak with the calmness of despair if not of mental serenity.
The major was awaiting us at the door and bowed gravely before her heavily veiled figure.
"Miss Tuttle," he asked, without any preamble, the moment she was well inside the house, "may I inquire of you here, and before I show you what will excuse us for subjecting you to the distress of entering these doors, whether your sister, Mrs. Jeffrey, had any other name or was ever known by any other name than that of Veronica?"
"She was christened Antoinette, as well as Veronica; but the person in whose memory the former name was given her was no honor to the family and she very soon dropped it and was only known as Veronica. Oh, what have I done?" she cried, awed and frightened by the silence which followed the utterance of these simple words.
No one answered her. For the first time in her presence, the minds of those who faced her were with another than herself. The bride! the unhappy bride--no maiden but a wife! nay, a wife one minute, a widow the next, and then again a newly-wedded bride before the husband lying below was cold! What wander that she shrank when her new-made bridegroom's lips approached her own! or that their honeymoon was a disappointment! Or that the shadow which fell upon her on that evil day never left her till she gave herself wholly up to its influence and returned to die on the spot made awful by her own crime.
Before any of us were quite ready to speak, a tap at the door told us that Durbin had arrived with Mr. Jeffrey. When they had been admitted and the latter saw Miss Tuttle standing there, he, too, seemed to realize that a turn had come in their affairs, and that courage rather than endurance was the quality most demanded from him. Facing the small group clustered in the dismal hall fraught with such unutterable associations, he earnestly prayed:
"Do not keep me in suspense. Why am I summoned here?"
The reply was as grave as the occasion warranted.
"You are summoned to learn the murderous secret of these old walls, and who it was that last made use of it. Do you feel inclined to hear these details from my lips, or are you ready to state that you already know the means by which so many persons, in times past as well as in times present, have met death here? We do not require you to answer us."
"I know the means," he allowed, recognizing without doubt that the crisis of crises had come, and that denial would be worse than useless.
"Then it only remains for us to acquaint you with the identity of the person who last pressed the fatal spring. But perhaps you know that, too?"
"I--" He paused; words were impossible to him; and in that pause his eyes flashed helplessly in the direction of Miss Tuttle.
But the major was quick on his feet and was already between him and that lady. This act forced from Mr. Jeffrey's lips the following broken sentence:
"I should--like--you--to--tell--me." Great gasps came with each heavily spoken word.
"Perhaps this morsel of lace will do it in a gentler manner than I could," responded the district attorney, opening his hand, in which lay the scrap of lace that, an hour or so before, I had plucked away from the boarding of that fatal closet.
Mr. Jeffrey eyed it and understood. His hands went up to his face and he swayed to the point of falling. Miss Tuttle came quickly forward.
"Oh!" she moaned, as her eyes fell on the little white shred. "The providence of God has found us out. We have suffered, labored and denied in vain."
"Yes," came in dreary echo from the man none of us had understood till now; "so great a crime could not be hid. God will have vengeance. What are we that we should hope to avert it by any act or at any cost?"
The major, with his eyes fixed piercingly on this miserable man, replied with one pregnant, sentence:
"Then you forced your wife to suicide?"
"No," he began; but before another word could follow, Miss Tuttle, resplendent in beauty and beaming with new life, broke in with the fervid cry:
"You wrong him and you wrong her by such a suggestion. It was not her husband but her conscience that forced her to this retributive act. What Mr. Jeffrey might have done had she proved obdurate and blind to the enormity of her own guilt, I do not know. But that he is innocent of so influencing her is proved by the shock he suffered at finding she had taken her punishment into her own hands."
"Mr. Jeffrey will please answer the question," insisted the major. Whereupon the latter, with great effort, but with the first appearance of real candor yet seen in him, said earnestly:
"I did nothing to influence her. I was in no condition to do so. I was benumbed--dead. When first she told me,--it was in some words muttered in her sleep--I thought she was laboring under some fearful nightmare; but when she persisted, and I questioned her, and found the horror true, I was like a man turned instantly into stone, save for one intolerable throb within. I am still so; everything passes by me like a dream. She was so young, seemingly so innocent and light-hearted. I loved her! Gentlemen, you have thought me guilty of my wife's death,--this young fairy-like creature to whom I ascribed all the virtues! and I was willing, willing that you should think so, willing even to face the distrust and opprobrium of the whole world,--and so was her sister, the noble woman whom you see before you--rather than that the full horror of her crime should be known and a name so dear be given up to execration. We thought we could keep the secret--we felt that we must keep the secret--we took an oath--in French--in the carriage with the detectives opposite us. She kept it--God bless her! I kept it. But it was all useless--a tiny bit of lace is found hanging to a lifeless splinter, and all our efforts, all the hopes and agony of weeks are gone for naught. The world will soon know of her awful deed--and I--"
He still loved her! That was apparent in every look, in every word he uttered. We marveled in awkward silence, and were glad when the major said:
"The deed, as I take it, was an unpremeditated one on her part. Is that why her honor was dearer to you than your own, and why you could risk the reputation if not the life of the woman who you say sacrificed herself to it?"
"Yes, it was unpremeditated; she hardly realized her act. If you must know her heart through all this dreadful business, we have her words to show you--words which she spent the last miserable day of her life in writing. The few lines which I showed the captain and which have been published to the world was an inclosure meant for the public eye. The real letter, telling the whole terrible truth, I kept for myself and for the sister who already knew her sin. Oh, we did everything we could!" And he again moaned: "But it was in vain; quite in vain."
There were no signs of subterfuge in him now, and we all, unless I except Durbin, began to yield him credence. Durbin never gives credence to anybody whose name he has once heard associated with crime.
"And this Pfeiffer was contracted to her? A man she had secretly married while a school-girl and who at this very critical instant had found his way to the house."
"You shall read her letter. It was meant for me, for me only--but you shall see it. I can not talk of him or of her crime. It is enough that I have been unable to think of anything else since first those dreadful words fell front her lips in sleep, thirty-six hours before she died." Then with the inconsistency of great anguish he suddenly broke forth into the details he shrank from and cried "She muttered, lying there, that she was no bigamist. That she had killed one husband before she married the other. Killed him in the old house and by the method her ancestors had taught her. And I, risen on my elbow, listened, with the sweat oozing from my forehead, but not believing her, oh, not believing her, any more than any one of you would believe such words uttered in a dream by the darling of your heart. But when, with a long-drawn sigh, she murmured, 'Murderer!' and raised her fists--tiny fists, hands which I had kissed a thousand times--and shook them in the air, an awful terror seized me, and I sought to grasp them and hold them down, but was hindered by some nameless inner recoil under which I could not speak, nor gasp, nor move. Of course, it was some dream-horror she was laboring under, a nightmare of unimaginable acts and thoughts, but it was one to hold me back; and when she lay quiet again and her face resumed its old sweetness in the moonlight, I found myself staring at her almost as if it were true--what she had said--that word--that awful word which no woman could use with regard to herself, even in dreams, unless--Something, an echo from the discordant chord in our two weeks' married life, rose like the confirmation of a doubt in my shocked and rebellious breast. From that hour till dawn nothing in that slowly brightening room seemed real, not her face lying buried in its youthful locks upon the pillow, not the objects well-known and well-prized by which we were surrounded--not myself--most of all, not myself, unless the icy dew oozing from the roots of my lifted hair was real, unless that shape, fearsome, vague, but persistent, which hovered in the shadows above us, drawing a line of eternal separation between me and my wife, was a thing which could be caught and strangled and - Oh! I rave! I chatter like a madman; but I did not rave that night. Nor did I rave when, in the bright, broad sunlight, her eye slowly unclosed and she started to see me bending so near her, but not with my usual kiss or glad good morning. I could not question her then; I dared not. The smile which slowly rose to her lips was too piteous--it showed confidence. I waited till after breakfast. Then, while she was seated where she could not see my face, I whispered the question: 'Do you know that you have had a horrible dream?' She shrieked and turned. I saw her face and knew that what she had uttered in her sleep was true.'
"I have no remembrance of what I said to her. She tried to tell me how she had been tempted and how she had not realized her own act, till the moment I bent down to kiss her lips as her husband. But I did not stop to listen--I could not. I flew immediately to Miss Tuttle with the violent demand as to whether she knew that her sister was already a wife when she married me, and when she cried out 'No!' and showed great dismay, I broke forth with the dreadful tale and cowered in unmanly anguish at her feet, and went mad and lost myself for a little while. Then I went back to my wretched wife and asked her how the awful deed had been done. She told me, and again I did not believe her and began to look upon it all as some wild dream or the distempered fancies of a disordered brain. This thought calmed me and I spoke gently to her and even tried to take her hand. But she herself was raving now, and clung about my knees, murmuring words of such anguish and contrition that my worst fears returned and, only stopping to take the key of the Moore house from my bureau, I left the house and wandered madly--I know not where.
"I did not go back that day. I could not face her again till I knew how much of her confession was fancy and how much was fact. I roamed the streets, carrying that key from one end of the city to the other, and at night I used it to open the house which she had declared contained so dreadful a secret.
"I had bought candles on my way there but, forgetting to take them from the store, I had no light with which to penetrate the horrible place that even the moon refused to illumine. I realized this when once in, but would not go back. All I have told about using matches to light me to the southwest chamber is true, also my coming upon the old candelabrum there, with a candle in one of its sockets. This candle I lit, my sole reason for seeking this room being my desire to examine the antique sketch for the words which she had said could be found there.
"I had failed to bring a magnifying-glass with me, but my eyes are phenomenally sharp. Knowing where to look, I was able to pick out enough words here and there in the lines composing the hair, to feel quite sure that my wife had neither deceived me nor been deceived as to certain directions being embodied there in writing. Shaken in my last lingering hope, but not yet quite convinced that these words pointed to outrageous crime, I flew next to the closet and drew out the fatal drawer.
"You have been there and know what the place is, but no one but myself can ever realize what it was for me, still loving, still clinging to a wild inconsequent belief in my wife, to grope in that mouth of hell for the spring she had chattered about in her sleep, to find it, press it, and then to hear, down in the dark of the fearsome recess, the sound of something deadly strike against what I took to be the cushions of the old settle standing at the edge of the library hearthstone.
"I think I must have fainted. For when I found myself possessed of sufficient consciousness to withdraw from that hole of death, the candle in the candelabrum was shorter by an inch than when I first thrust my head into the gap made by the removed drawers. In putting back the drawers I hit the candelabrum with my foot, upsetting it and throwing out the burning candle. As the flames began to lick the worm-eaten boarding of the floor a momentary impulse seized me to rush away and leave the whole place to burn. But I did not. With a sudden frenzy, I stamped out the flame, and then finding myself in darkness, griped my way downstairs and out. If I entered the library I do not remember it. Some lapses must be pardoned a man involved as I was."
"But the fact which you dismiss so lightly is an important one," insisted the major. "We must know positively whether you entered this room or not."
"I have no recollection of doing so"
"Then you can not tell us whether the little table was standing there, with the candelabrum upon it or--"
"I can tell you nothing about it."
The major, after a long look at this suffering man, turned toward Miss Tuttle.
"You must have loved your sister very much," he sententiously remarked.
She flushed and for the first time her eyes fell from their resting-place on Mr. Jeffrey's face.
"I loved her reputation," was her quiet answer, "and--" The rest died in her throat.
But we all--such of us, I mean, who were possessed of the least sensibility or insight, knew how that sentence sounded as finished in her heart" and I loved him who asked this sacrifice of me."
Yet was her conduct not quite clear.
"And to save that reputation you tied the pistol to her wrist?" insinuated the major.
"No," was her vehement reply. "I never knew what I was tying to her. My testimony in that regard was absolutely true. She held the pistol concealed in the folds of her dress. I did not dream --I could not--that she was contemplating any such end to the atrocious crime--to which she had confessed. Her manner was too light, too airy and too frivolous--a manner adopted, as I now see, to forestall all questions and hold back all expressions of feeling on my part. 'Tie these hanging ends of ribbon to my wrist,' were her words. 'Tie them tight; a knot under and a bow on top. I am going out--There, don't say anything-- What you want to talk about will keep till tomorrow. For one night more I am going to make merry--to--to enjoy myself.' She was laughing. I thought her horribly callous and trembled with such an unspeakable repulsion that I had difficulty in making the knot. To speak at all would have been impossible. Neither did I dare to look in her face. I was touching the hand and she kept on laughing--such a hollow laugh covering up such an awful resolve! When she turned to give me that last injunction about the note, this resolve glared still in her eyes."
"And you never suspected?"
"Not for an instant. I chid not do justice either to her misery or to her conscience. I fear that I have never done her justice in anyway. I thought her light, pleasure-loving. I did not know that it was assumed to hide a terrible secret."
"Then you had no knowledge of the contract she had entered into while a school-girl?"
"Not in the least. Another woman, and not myself, had been her confidante; a woman who has since died. No intimation of her first unfortunate marriage had ever reached me till Mr. Jeffrey rushed in upon me that Tuesday morning with her dreadful confession on his lips."
The district attorney, who did not seem quite satisfied on a certain point passed over by the major, now took the opportunity of saying:
"You assure us that you had no idea that this once lighthearted sister of yours meditated suicide when she left you?"
"And I repeat it, sir."
"Then why did you immediately go to Mr. Jeffrey's drawer, where you could have no business, unless it was to see if she had taken his pistol with her?"
Miss Tuttle's head fell and a soft flush broke through the pallor of her cheek.
"Because I was thinking of him. Because I was terrified for him. He had left the house the morning before in a half-maddened condition and had not come back to sleep or eat since. I did not know what a man so outraged in every sacred feeling of love and honor might be tempted to do. I thought of suicide. I remembered the old house and how he had said, 'I don't believe her. I don't believe she ever did so cold-blooded an act, or that any such dreadful machinery is in that house. I never shall believe it till I have seen and handled it myself. It is a nightmare, Cora. We are insane.' I thought of this, sirs, and when I went into her room, to change the place of the little note in the book, I went to his bureau drawer, not to look for the pistol--I did not think of that then,--but to see if the keys of the Moore house were still there. I knew that they were kept in this drawer, for I had been present in the room when they were brought in after the wedding. I had also been short-sighted enough to conclude that if they were gone it was he who had taken them. They were gone, and that was why I flew immediately from the house to the old place in Waverley Avenue. I was concerned for Mr. Jeffrey! I feared to find him there, demented or dead"
"But you had no key."
"No. Mr. Jeffrey had taken one of them and my sister the other. But the lack of a key or even of a light--for the missing candles were not taken by me*--could not keep me at home after
*We afterwards found that these candles were never delivered at the house at all; that they had been placed in the wrong basket and left in a neighboring kitchen.
I was once convinced that he had gone to this dreadful house. If I could not get in I could at least hammer at the door or rouse the neighbors. Something must be done. I did not think what; I merely flew."
"Did you know that the house had two keys?"
"Not then."
"But your sister did?"
"And finding the only key, as you supposed, gone, you flew to the Moore house?"
"And now what else?"
"I found the door unlocked."
"That was done by Mrs. Jeffrey?"
"Yes, but I did not think of her then."
"And you went in?"
"Yes; it was all dark, but I felt my way till I came to the gilded pillars."
"Why did you go there?"
"Because I felt--I knew--if he were anywhere in that house he would be there!"
"And why did you stop?"
Her voice rose above its usual quiet pitch in shrill protest:
"You know! you know! I heard a pistol-shot from within, then a fall. I don't remember anything else. They say I went wandering about town. Perhaps I did; it is all a blank to me--everything is a blank till the policeman said that my sister was dead and I learned for the first time that the shot I had heard in the Moore house was not the signal of his death, but hers. Had I been myself when at that library door," she added, after a moment of silence, "I would have rushed in at the sound of that shot and have received my sister's dying breath"
"Cora!" The cry was from Mr. Jeffrey, and seemed to be quite involuntary. "In the weeks during which we have been kept from speaking together I have turned all these events over in my mind till I longed for any respite, even that of the grave. But in all my thinking I never attributed this motive to your visit here. Will you forgive me?"
There was a new tone in his voice, a tone which no woman could hear without emotion.
"You had other things to think of," she said, and her lips trembled. Never have I seen on the human face a more beautiful expression than I saw on hers at that moment; nor do I think Mr. Jeffrey had either, for as he marked it his own regard softened almost to tenderness.
The major had no time for sentimentalities. Turning to Mr. Jeffrey, he said:
"One more question before we send for the letter which you say will give us full insight into your wife's crime. Do you remember what occurred on the bridge at Georgetown just before you came into town that night?"
He shook his head.
"Did you meet any one there?"
"I do not know."
"Can you remember your state of mind?"
"I was facing the future."
"And what did you see in the future?"
"Death. Death for her and death for me! A crime was on her soul and she must die, and if she, then myself. I knew no other course. I could not summon the police, point out my bride of a fortnight and, with the declaration that she had been betrayed into killing a man, coldly deliver her up to justice. Neither could I live at her side knowing the guilty secret which parted us; or live anywhere in the world under this same consciousness. Therefore, I meant to kill myself before another sun rose. But she was more deeply stricken with a sense of her own guilt than I realized. When I returned home for the pistol which was to end our common misery I found that she had taken her punishment into her own hands. This strangely affected me, but when I found that, in doing this, she had remembered that I should have to face the world after she was gone, and so left a few lines for me to show in explanation of her act, my revolt against her received a check which the reading of her letter only increased. But the lines she thus wrote and left were not true lines. All her heart was mine, and if it was a wicked heart she has atoned--"
He paused, quite overcome. Others amongst us were overcome, too, but only for a moment. The following remark from the district attorney soon recalled us to the practical aspects of the case.
"You have accounted for many facts not hitherto understood. But there is still a very important one which neither yourself nor Miss Tuttle has yet made plain. There was a candle on the scene of crime; it was out when this officer arrived here. There was also one found burning in the upstairs room, aside from the one you professedly used in your tour of inspection there. Whence came those candles? And did your wife blow out the one in the library herself, previous to the shooting, or was it blown out afterward and by other lips?"
"These are questions which, as I have already said, I have no means of answering," repeated Mr. Jeffrey. "The courage which brought her here may have led her to supply herself with light; and, hard as it is to conceive, she may even have found nerve to blow out the light before she lifted the pistol to her breast:"
The district attorney and the major looked unconvinced, and the latter, turning toward Miss Tuttle, asked if she had any remark to make on the subject.
But she could only repeat Mr. Jeffrey's statement.
"These are questions I can not answer either. I have said that I stopped at the library door, which means that I saw nothing of what passed within."
Here the major asked where Mrs. Jeffrey's letter was to be found. It was Mr. Jeffrey who replied:
"Search in my room for a book with an outside cover of paper still on it. You will probably find it on my table. The inner cover is red. Bring that book here. Our secret is hidden in it."
Durbin disappeared on this errand. I followed him as far as the door, but I did not think it necessary to state that I had seen this book lying on the table when I paid my second visit to Mr. Jeffrey's room in company with the coroner. The thought that my hand had been within reach of this man's secret so many weeks before was sufficiently humiliating without being shared.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

Hamlin, of the NY Coalition for Healthy School Food, calls such a move outrageous.
Like Hamlin, McGinley is also no stranger to bedazzled spandex, having also competed on a season of Dancing with the Stars.
Hamlin was quite as handicapped as Mrs. Yellam by principles adopted long ago which he deemed, before the war, to be bomb-proof.
Mr. Hamlin went comfortably to sleep and into a profuse perspiration.
Hamlin felt more at ease with this softer specimen of womanhood, who had served him faithfully.
Mr. Hamlin was greatly, and it seemed to him properly, relieved.
And, with a half mocking laugh and a wave of his hand, Hamlin disappeared outside.
I came to see the woman who had painted Mr. Hamlin's portrait.
In the days of Mr. Hamlin's predecessor, nobody budged from his comfortable seat when the parson bustled out of the vestry.
Some said, "I can't understand how Hamlin makes all his money."

BMA grants five banking licences
The Bahrain Monetary Agency (BMA) has granted five licences for a diverse range of banking activities.
The new licences were approved this month by HH Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain and Chairman of the BMA Board.
An investment banking licence has been issued to Saudi Arabia-based Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP). The new entity, which will be an arm of APICORP will participate in taking equity positions and providing debt financing to the petroleum industry. The prime objective of the bank will be to support the financing of the oil, gas and petrochemical industries in Arab countries on a commercial basis.
APICORP, which is owned by the governments of 10 members of the Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), including Bahrain, has a paid up capital of US$550 million, while total assets stood at US$2.1 billion at 2004-end.
The BMA has also granted a full commercial bank (FCB) licence to Mashreqbank.
Dubai-based Mashreqbank is a public shareholding company listed on the Dubai Financial Market. It is one of the largest banks in the UAE with 34 branches, in addition to an offshore banking unit in Bahrain. Total assets stood at US$8.7 billion at 2004-end.
The Bahrain FCB would target mainly corporate customers, including Bahrain-based corporates with a strong presence in the UAE and Qatar, mid-sized local businesses and local and international contractors engaged in infrastructure projects.
The BMA has also approved a full commercial bank (FCB) licence for the State Bank of India (SBI), in addition to the bank's existing offshore banking unit, which was established in Bahrain in 1978.
SBI is India's largest bank with assets of about US$126 billion. The bank has over 9,000 branches in India, in addition to operations in 30 other countries.
A licence has also been granted to Liechtenstein-based LGT Bank to establish a Representative Office in Bahrain.
LGT Bank is the largest private bank in Liechtenstein. It is a member of Liechtenstein Global Trust, whose majority shareholder is the Liechtenstein Royal House.
The Bahrain office of the bank will be its first in the Middle East. Outside Europe, the bank currently has a presence in Asia and Latin America.
The BMA has also granted an offshore banking unit (OBU) branch licence to Bank Al-Habib Limited (BAHL) of Pakistan.
The Bahrain branch of BAHL will undertake trade and corporate finance, treasury and investments activity and inter-bank transactions.
The Middle East region continues to offer tremendous growth prospects for financial services providers, particularly in the areas of asset management, private banking, life and medical insurance, securitisation, Islamic banking and insurance, third part administration (TPA) services, leasing and investment services, said Mr. Ahmed Abdul Aziz Al Bassam, Director, Licensing & Policy, at the BMA.
"The BMA remains committed to supporting the financial services community to enable it to capitalize on the tremendous opportunities opening up in the wider Middle East region."
The BMA continues to work on a number of market development issues, including a new licensing framework, which will provide additional flexibility to financial institutions wishing to do business in and from Bahrain. The new licensing framework is expected to come into effect by the end of 2005.
"We welcome the continued interest from financial institutions and groups in doing business from Bahrain," said Mr. Al Bassam. "It is a demonstration of the excellent reputation the Kingdom enjoys as an international financial center."
The BMA is processing a number of other applications from leading international and regional financial institutions.

With the same original flavor, packing and taste, our Cigarettes For Sale such as Marlboro Red Short Cigarettes are at hot-sale on this online cigarette store.
cigarettes but don't know the health risks Girls as young as 11 and 12 years old have used e-cigarettes and can get hold of them easily from friends, parents and shops, a new study has shown. Researchers found that a number of year seven girls living in North Wales could name at least five flavours of e-cigarette, but some were unaware that the products contained nicotine. In Wrexham, half of the girls consulted for the independent survey, commissioned by Public Health Wales, said they had tried e-cigarettes, but figures were much lower elsewhere. Wales is planning legislation to ban people using e-cigarettes in public places, as well as a ban on sales to under-18s: a measure which is also being considered in England. There are fears that the products are becoming a "gateway" to smoking among young people - with flavours such as strawberry and bubblegum apparently directly aimed at children. However, many experts believe they could also be useful quit-smoking aids. The Welsh study only looked at usage among girls because previous research had suggested smoking rates were higher among girls in parts of Wales than among boys. However, previous research by the anti-smoking charity ASH has suggested that rates of e-cigarette use among children and young people is very low, and the vast majority of users are adults and either current or ex-smokers. Public health experts are increasingly divided over the issue of e-cigarettes. Some believe that the products could be a powerful tool to reduce smoking rates, but others are concerned over the growing influence of the tobacco industry over the e-cigarette market, and fear that plans for the products to be licensed as medicines could see public health budgets in effect subsidising the tobacco industry.

At the end of 2007 my wife and I had the opportunity to buy our condo in Waikoloa Beach Resort. As California natives, we'd been travelling to Hawaii at least once a year for many years - we LOVE Hawaii and especially the Big Island. So, we took the chance and bought the place - to us, renting it out when we're not there is just a great way to make it more affordable.... and maybe spread a little Aloha around!
Tim purchased this condo in 2007
We've been all over Hawaii, every island, and always spent a lot of time on the Big Island, which turned it into our favorite. A slower pace, relaxing beaches and the small town feel of the Kohala coast pretty much sums up why we like it so much. We get much less rain than the other side of the island, and also have great golfing, diving, snorkeling and surfing. The new Queens Marketplace and the Kings Shops offer walking distance to shopping, and A Bay is just a few steps further. Hapuna beach is just up the road if you want a classic big sandy beach, or if you keep heading north you'll find more rugged terrain both on the coast or up the hill in Parker Ranch. Or for a real adventure, a relatively short drive gets you to the volcano and awesome hikes.... what's not to love!?
Excellent location for access to Anaehoomala beach; the condo was large enough to easily accommodate 6 people; nice that beach chairs were provided; excellently equiped kitchen; shopping, grocery and restaurants within walking distance.
My family, parents and 2 adult children, stayed here for 9 days. It was just as the pictures look. It was clean and ready when we arrived. Before we got there we did get an email ( while we were in route) that said the washer door latch was broken and could not be fixed until the next week( we were arriving on a Thursday). However, they offered to do any laundry that needed to be done until it could be fixed which they did do. I did appreciate their quick notice and their offer to help us out. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen is well equipped. We liked the use of the beach supplies, especially the umbrella and chairs which we used everyday. The pool area was wonderful; however, the workout room is open to the outside so it is very hot if you want to workout. It's a great location; close to the grocery, restaurants, shopping and easy driving distance to gorgeous beaches. We were there on the 4th of July and there was an all day festival going on at the Queen and Kings shopping area with fireworks being set off right there. We had front row seats to the fireworks from the yard area!! I would rent this property again in a second!!! Loved it!! (My only negative is that we had to reboot the wireless router to get wireless at least once a day. But that is the only negative thing I have to say.... I still gave the place a 5 star-excellent experience!)
My family stayed in this condo two weeks ago and had a great time. We are a family of four with girls ages 2 and 6. The condo was in excellent condition, spotless when we arrived and is very comfortably furnished. It is perfect for a family - two bedrooms plus an upstairs loft with a sofabed. The condo is thoughtfully supplied with lots of towels, blankets, pillows etc and even has beach toys, chairs and boogie boards, baby gate. The location is very convenient - you can walk to A-bay beach and the Queens shopping center which has a Starbucks, small grocery store, ice cream shop, etc. Would stay there again. Was not a problem for us but worth noting that the condo is effectively on the second and third floors so there is a steep set stairs to walk up when you enter.
It was not a problem for
My girlfriend and I recently stayed at this clean and well-kept condo with two other friends and their two children. There was plenty of room and privacy to accomodate all of us comfortably. The Queen's shops nearby were a convenient plus for groceries and that morning cup of Starbucks. The pool, bbq, and gym were all in excellent shape and located right behind our condo. We highly recommend visiting the nearby sandy Hapuna beach, a safe swimming and snorkeling beach for everyone. As an added bonus, we found an assortment of beach mats, boogie boards, chairs, and sand toys in the condo garage. Great condo that made our visit to the Big Island more enjoyable. I highly recommend to anyone.

My wife and I and 13 yr old daughter stayed for 6 nights in early July 2012. The property was spacious, secure, quiet, clean, nicely furnished, and offered amenities such as a washer and dryer, a full kitchen with settings and cutlery, and wi-fi. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of drawer/closet space. The garage was stocked with beach chairs, mats, and boogie boards, which we used at Hapuna Beach, a white sand beach just a short drive north. The property is adjacent to many shops and restaurants at the Queen's Marketplace (which has a grocery store) and the King's Shops. Since we spent most of our time sightseeing or at the beach, we did not use the pool, although it was within view of the unit and never looked crowded. Overall we had a great stay. The owners were great to work with and answered all of our questions. We would definitiely return and recommend to others!
Located along the sunny Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii, Waikoloa Beach Resort offers a slice of paradise.
The 1,350-acre ocean-side resort has earned a national reputation as the finest place to stay, play and reside in Hawaii. Visitors and residents alike enjoy the resorts spectacular natural setting as well as a host of amenities, including world-class hotels, two championship golf courses, luxury residences, pampering spas, preserved cultural sites, pristine beaches, ocean sports and the Kings' Shops & Queens' Marketplace dining, shopping and entertainment complex.
If you're looking for the best of authentic Hawaii, plus a great mix of recreation, dining and entertainment, you'll love Waikoloa! Come and visit, come and stay.

The question of selecting the right negotiator interested Sir Francis Bacon hundreds of years ago. He advised those in authority to:
"Use such persons as affect the business wherein they are employed; for that quickeneth much: and such as are fit for the matter; as bold men for expostulation, fair-spoken men for persuasion, and crafty men for inquiry and observation. Use also such as have been lucky, and prevailed before in things wherein you have employed them; for that breeds confidence, and they will strive to maintain their prescription."
Bacon's prescription continues to be as valid today as it was in the 17th century.

P.R.S.S. Press Release
From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program
For Immediate Release: September 26, 2003
Minneapolis—Artists Richard Shelton and Piotr Szyhalski have collaborated for the first time to create an interactive installation for the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP). Opening October 10 at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, "P.R.S.S." is inspired by the artists' fascination with the radical investigations of John C. Lilly, Stanley Milgram, Kasimir Malevich, and Ivan P. Pavlov. The exhibition deals with essential aspects of contemporary human behavior by reflecting on particular dynamics of learning, perception, moral position, resistance, and the disconnections among us all.
"P.R.S.S." is an installation composed of four chambers in which the viewer may experience a series of virtual images and sounds and participate in their alteration. It is the artists' intention that a range of visceral, emotional, and spiritual responses be experienced through a non-linear installation.
"P.R.S.S." is inspired by the artists' independent studies: Shelton was fascinated with the neural research of Lilly, a scientist obsessed with dolphins, LSD, and with his own self-inflicted isolation experiments; and with Milgram, who is known for his obedience (shock) experiments, performed after the Nuremberg trials, and for the famous theory that no one is more that six degrees removed from anyone else. Szyhalski focused on the Suprematist painting of Malevich, who stripped his art down to its very essence (a black square), and Pavlov, a scientist famous for his research with the conditioned reflex of dogs. "P.R.S.S." is not intended to pay homage to these four historical figures, but rather to reflect some of the principles of their work.
Each artist created two of the four chambers. Piotr Szyhalski's first chamber sets up a situation in which things happen while the viewer holds still. In Szyhalski's second chamber he sets out to create a pure state of emotion, looking directly at the violence that humans inflict on each other. Richard Shelton's chambers reference Lilly's work with dolphins and Milgram's infamous shock experiments. In his first chamber, a virtual dolphin talks to the viewer, answering to any question it is asked. Shelton's second chamber alludes to Milgram's research on human cruelty and obedience.
Shelton and Szyhalski both grew up during the sixties but on opposite sides of the Cold War: Shelton raised in Iowa and Szyhalski in Poland. Both are intrigued and disappointed by the continued post-Cold War polarization of East and West and share many concerns as artists. Both attended art school during the mid-eighties, say they were inundated with the same cannons of art theory, use new technologies to make their art, and now teach at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD).
"P.R.S.S." is presented by the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program, an artist-managed curatorial department of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts made possible by generous support from the Jerome Foundation.
Related Events An opening reception for "P.R.S.S." is scheduled for Thursday, October 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. An artist-led public tour will be held on Sunday, October 19, at 3 p.m. A Critics' Trialogue featuring art critic Andrew Knighton in conversation with the artists and the public will take place in MAEP gallery on Sunday, November 16, at 3 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

Pequeno almoço, instalações, simpatia, isolamento acústico Parque de estacionamento pequeno e algo longe do hotel, mas também condicionado pela localização do hotel numa parte antiga da vila.
The breakfast was excellent. The fact that the beds were separated...
Very small room the place were we take a bath with aromoterapia is for a chil not a adult person
Lovely hotel in centre of Vila Praia de Ancora. Good staff, very comfortable room and huge choise of breakfast. all spotlessly clean
A quite pleasant hotel with a good position The early morning calls from the cockrels
it has a nice location a little bit noisy, bedframe was old and made a lot of noise
First of all - the little town is so nice and with only few people, when out of season. The rooms, staff, pool area is really nice. Good breakfast (more like brunch). Nice with the balcony - it makes the room bigger. Just one insignificant thing... the breakfast did not have fresh fruit
clean rooms, very good breakfast, parking quite far away from the hotel
staff friendly and helpful. free internet and parking. breakfast was brilliant with lots of choice. swimming pool great and excellent beach for children only 3mins walk. supermarket next door. rooms cleaned everyday. nothing bad to say, everything was amazing and such good value for money.
very good location, excellent breakfast
Fantastic view from room, very easy access to beach and intersting local market No resteraunt but plenty of available cafe. No secure parking
Amazing reception staff and fabulous location - right on the beach. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
The location of the hotel is excellent and the rooms with a sea view are great. Good choice of channels on tv. Breakfast very poor for the price. Even when we asked to pay the extra for eggs we were told they did not have any as there was no custom for it. No parking at all anywhere. Had to park a good 15 minutes walk away.
Excellent location right on the beach. Basic hotel but clean and comfortable.
On the beach. Definitely not 4-star - barely 3-star. Breakfast was miserly. Hotel and room were very basic. Booked for 3 nights only stayed 2 nights could not get a refund, but still didn't stay. note: you have to pay up-front, and there is a no refund policy. I wonder why?
Everything was very good.
Rooms are big. We had a 2 room junior suite for only 60 eur a night. Swimmingpool with clean water. Nice bathroom with a bath and shower. For very little extra (8 eur per person) we could use a finnish sauna, that was quite acceptable (we come from Estonia so we are tight when it comes to saunas :)). The personnel was helpful. Free table tennis and pool table. A very pleasant surprise altogether.
We had a very nice and relaxing time, exactly what we wanted. The all complex of rooms, garden, pool and communal area is very well kept. If you are in the area I highly recommend it.


text: We can honsetly say that it wasn't packed to the rafters because that would mean there were over 700 people. We will tell you however, there were pretty darn close to 420 people looking for a party. They came to the right place! It was a beautiful summer evening and there was a nice south wind off the lake which helped cool down the inside very nice. The crowd and their coolers made it look like a tailgate party at Foxwoods. It was an awesome site. It was also Mike Stella's first full show with the band. He was welcomed with a thunderous round of applause from the crowd. The band added three new songs to their set, which has been long over due. The response from those songs was more than evident when the dance floor was packed.As the night came to a close (around 12:30 am), the crowd was left tired, wet and ready for a nap. It was a great show and a great time. Thanks goes out to the Campbell's for having us, all of our fans (old and new), Rock The 802 (Pat and Axel) and the ladies with the band that keep us in line (LOL).

LAND O'LAKES — Land O'Lakes junior quarterback James Pensyl continued his early-season dominance Thursday, throwing four touchdowns as the Gators rolled past Ridgewood 33-6.
Pensyl, who finished 18-of-24 with 270 yards, said everything has clicked for Land O'Lakes (3-0), which is off to its best start in four years.
"We're really coming together as a family and I've got to credit the (offensive) line, which is getting a lot better," Pensyl said. "I didn't feel pressure pretty much at all tonight."
The Gators used their fast-paced offense to score four times against the Rams (0-3) in the first half.
Junior running back Larenz Scroggins started the night off with a bang, taking a handoff 20 yards for a touchdown just three minutes into the game. Then, Pensyl found Javin Tandy from 20 yards out and Andrew Hendrix from 6 yards in the second quarter, before delivering a 29-yard strike to Liam Heaney to give Land O'Lakes a 21-point lead at the half.
"I think we did good things on both sides of the ball," Gators coach Brian Wachtel said. "But on offense, the guys were clicking in the first half. No doubt about it."
Only the rain could slow Land O'Lakes in the second half, but Pensyl managed to put up one more score — a 31-yard pass to Stefan Zapata in the fourth quarter — to seal it.
"It's just great," Pensyl said. "Our whole team as a whole, we're executing."
Glass Wilson (24 carries, 93 yards) scored Ridgewood's lone touchdown, a 3-yard run, in the second quarter.

MELBOURNE: Australia vice-captain Shane Watson will miss the third Test in Sydney after sustaining a calf strain during his team's series-winning rout of Sri Lanka in the second Test in Melbourne.
Watson pulled up sore after bowling on day one at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and although he went on to score 83 with the bat, the all-rounder was spared from bowling duties during Sri Lanka's brief second innings yesterday.
Glenn Maxwell comes into a 13-man squad named by Australia captain Michael Clarke following the match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the skipper himself still under a cloud with a hamstring strain.
"Shane's out of the Sydney Test and Glenn Maxwell comes in the squad as a replacement for Watto as the all-rounder," Clarke told reporters.
Team: Michael Clarke (captain), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Phil Hughes, Glenn Maxwell, Mike Hussey, Matthew Wade, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Usman Khawaja.

Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the median nerve of the hand, the nerve that connects the hand to the forearm. The median nerve is responsible for the sensation of the palm side of the thumb and fingers, with the exception of the pinkie finger. A narrow, rigid tunnel at the base of the hand comprised of ligament and bones accommodates the median nerve and tendons. Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve within the tunnel.
What is the "Carpal Tunnel"?
As the tunnel itself is smaller in women than men, women are three times as likely to experience problems with carpel tunnel, as are their male counterparts. Often times, the symptoms develop in the dominant hand, and this is where the most severe pain tends to be experienced. Persons with diabetes or metabolic disorders, as these disorders affect the body's nerves, are at a higher risk for carpel tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome, seldom seen in children is almost exclusively an adult injury.
Mechanical repetition is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome, but isn't the only reason. It is common for those working assembly lines in manufacturing, food processing, and data entry to suffer from this condition. In fact, workers in these industries have a tripled risk in the amount of occurrences over data-entry personnel, who have been the predominant sufferers of carpal tunnel.
Often, a sprain or wrist injury is enough to cause the swelling of the median nerve or persons that have a congenitally narrower carpal tunnel are likely to suffer from this problem.
Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are pain, numbness, or gradual weakness in the hand or wrist that radiates to the forearm. The onset of symptoms is gradual, from a tingling to a subtle numbness to a frequent burning or itching sensation usually from the thumb to the middle finger. A common complaint among patients suffering from carpaltunnel is feeling that their fingers are clumsy and swollen, though no actual swelling has occurred. Decreased grip strength is also common. As carpal tunnel goes untreated, the muscles at the base of the thumb deteriorate, sometimes beyond the point of repair.
Carpal Tunnel Treatment
The initial treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is generally a conservative regime, not a surgical intervention. For most mild cases, a doctor may prescribe over the counter pain relievers that help reduce swelling and advise the patient to use a wrist support brace. Treatment also includes the use of a wrist brace to immobilize the wrist for 2-3 weeks and cryotherapy to relieve pain and swelling.

The cast members of the MTV reality show reportedly filmed the last episode of the upcoming season at a beach with fifty of their friends and family.
True to their style, "Jersey Shore" stars have wrapped the production of the upcoming season 6 with a party. New York Post reported that Snooki and her cast mates filmed the season finale on Monday, July 2 night by gathering around a bonfire on a beach at Seaside Heights.
Onlookers said the gang were joined by about 50 of their friends and family at the beach party that lasted from about 6 P.M. until 1 A.M. The guidos and guidettes reportedly grilled burgers and hot dogs, while The Situation's mother was said bringing homemade chicken cutlets and mac 'n' cheese.
The sixth season of "Jersey Shore" will premiere later this year on MTV. It has been long speculated that the upcoming installment would be the last for original cast members, but the network insisted they haven't made the decision just yet.
"We do not comment on series in production. Also, no decision has been made yet on a final season of 'Jersey Shore'," a representative for MTV stated.

CKF TM Kayak Fishing Accessories
In our quest to bring the best products to the paddling angler, we introduce the CKF TM Paddle Clip, part of the SpikeStrike TM Line of Kayak Fishing Accessories. Kayak fishers typically do not use paddle leashes and the Paddle Clip is superior to any similar device available. When not in use your paddle is ALWAYS at hand. The Paddle Clips also secure two fishing rods when launching and landing in surf conditions. Constructed of nylon, the Paddle Clip is impervious to the effects of the sun, heat, or cold.
Paddle Clips are easily installed on any kayak and fit all models of Ocean Kayak, Necky, Wilderness Systems and Perception/Aquaterra boats as well as all plastic kayaks.
Other accessories now available are the CKF TM Rod Holders, CKF TM, Surface Anchors, and our Deck Sheaths. In combination with the Paddle Clips, these accessories facilitate fishing from a kayak and will surely increase your ability to effectively get on the fish.
|Rod Holders
Select picture for Larger Images
|Available in blue, black, and red bases. The rod holder is intended to store a fishing rod, at the ready, during the course of the fishing day. It can also be utilized to hold a landing net or a safety flag for paddling in high traffic areas. The removable tube allows for the use of the kayak in non-fishing activities and does not interfere with operation or transportation of the vessel. Stainless fasteners are included and only a 3/16 inch hole is needed for most applications. Trolling baits and lures is easily accomplished using the CKF TM Kayak Fishing Rod Holder.

|The "mother" of all rod/paddle clips. CKF Paddle
Clips are spring loaded and as tough as your boat. Primarily
used to store the paddle while fishing, Paddle Clips also lock in two fishing rods when
launching and landing in surf or getting under heavy brush. A pair can be mounted
for securing a flats pole. Paddle clips can be installed on any kayak. Specify
kayak make and model when ordering. Fasteners are included.
"My husband and I don't know how we got along for two years without your Paddle Clips. They definitely make the kayaks more fishable and now we couldn't live without them" A very satisfied couple from the Southeast

|The surface anchor has many uses. Mounted on each side of the kayak
seat, surface anchors allow you to tether to surface structures like weeds, markers, and
other kayaks and significantly reduce shock from swell. "Kelp Friendly"
nylon casing. The heavy duty stretch cord reduces shock from swell, wind and current and
can be added to the anchor line. Spring fastener snaps in and out with ease. Easily

|The Rhynobar gives any kayak angler a mounting place
for rod holders, fish finders or other accessories. The forward position of the Rhynobar
enables the angler to view all of his equipment while continuing to paddle. When a fish is
hooked, a few short powerful strokes will set the hook, leaving the fishing pole in front
of the angler. This allows the angler to see the bite and to react accordingly.
The Rhynobar is also great for divers, creating a solid handle or tie off spot for game bags, fish clips and camera equipment. I like to tie off the sharks I catch to the Rhynobar and then paddle in, but that's another story!

In a year in which he proposed to his girlfriend, bought a house, released a documentary, won the gongs for artist of the year and best video at the Musicoz Awards, released his debut album No Man's Land and toured, the icing on the Christmas cake for Bra Boy Kid Mac is two AACTA nominations.
''Yeah, it's just been flat out; I was just talking to my fiancee Aimee about it - about how crazy the last 12 months have been,'' Mac told S.
On top of the nominations for best director and best cinematography for his feature doco Fighting Fear, Mac is also doing his own series on Fuel TV called The Crew, which follows the making of his debut album. Cameras have followed Mac, as well as Richie Vaculik and Mark Mathews - the subjects of Fighting Fear - for the past three years, from Mac's LA tour where he got advice from Snoop Dogg, to hanging out with Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis.
''I'm definitely honoured to be nominated,'' he said. ''It came as a bit of a surprise, as after the Bra Boys film [his debut flick, co-directed with Sunny Abberton] we never got on the radar of the film industry … we tried to get a grant and requests for funding got knocked back, so everything I have done was self-funded.
''It's awesome - it means they are paying attention to us.''
Apart from awards ceremonies and a tour, Mac hopes to plan the wedding to his graphic artist fiancee for 2014: ''I was planning to propose in Brazil, where my family is from, but the tour got cancelled so I did it in Bali after a friend's wedding,'' he said of the cliff-top proposal on bended knee. ''I was lost for words, I've never really been stumped for words but I was completely lost; I kept muddling and stumbling - it really was the most awkward proposal.'' Mac did come up trumps, though. ''She got the point. She said 'yes'. That was all that mattered!''

Mitt Romney said today President Obama's announcement that his administration would halt the deportation of up to 800,000 illegal immigrants "makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution" on the immigration issue.
"I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered and should be solved on a long-term basis, so they know what their future would be in this country," the presumptive Republican nominee said outside his campaign bus in New Hampshire.
Romney said he would "like to see legislation" on the issue.
Romney's comments, made hours after the Obama announced the government will no longer deport certain young illegal immigrants, largely echoed that of Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential vice presidential contender, who has discussed an alternative version of a DREAM Act, which would not grant legal status to those students but would allow them to stay in the country.
"There is broad support for the idea that we should figure out a way to help kids who are undocumented through no fault of their own, but there is also broad consensus that it should be done in a way that does not encourage illegal immigration in the future," Rubio said in a statement. "This is a difficult balance to strike, one that this new policy, imposed by executive order, will make harder to achieve in the long run."
Romney has called for stronger border enforcement and has encouraged "self-deportation" for illegal immigrants. Romney has said that if he's elected president, he would veto the current version of the DREAM Act.

First Trimester
Whoever coined the term 'morning sickness' did everyone a disservice: nausea can happen at any time of day, and can be light discomfort to dry heaves or daily vomiting. My experience was generally moderate nausea, similar to spending too much time on amusement park rides, and I never actually vomited apart from the stomach virus I had late in my first pregnancy. Ginger tea and Mint tea were both vital to keeping my stomach in check. When in the car, I would keep a travel mug of hot water and tea bags ready for any in-transit upset tummy.
Eating during the first trimester can be a tricky affair. It is just as normal to loose weight during this period as it is to gain weight. While most people avoid fatty foods at this point, I ate more fried food than I had in the 5 years prior to my pregnancies. The best tip I heard for making it easier to eat when scents and nausea were a problem was to imagine the smell, taste, and texture of food before eating. That made it much easier to decide what I could eat, and it reduced the number of times I sat down to eat and then couldn't touch the food I spent so much time cooking.
Throughout pregnancy, prenatal yoga can help you stay awake during the day and help you to sleep at night. I felt much better after a prenatal yoga class, and I wish I had gone more often. For those in the Albuquerque area, I highly recommend the prenatal yoga classes at High Desert Yoga. I attended both classes at different times, and the instructors and other women were wonderful.
Second Trimester
Most women have the least amount of discomfort during the second trimester. This is the time to travel the world and to enjoy having pants which haven't lost their elasticity. Tiring easily is certainly part of pregnancy, but if you find yourself frustratingly tired, unable to do things you enjoy, consider having your iron levels checked. I was only very slightly anemic during my second pregnancy, but the iron supplements I took made me feel like I had 'woken up' for the first time in months. It is also useful to consider food based prenatal vitamins. I used standard walgreens stocked prenatal vitamins, and if I get pregnant again, I will spend some time researching food based vitamins.
Third Trimester
My biggest third trimester issue was getting enough sleep. I was uncomfortable no matter how I positioned myself. During my first pregnancy, I wanted to get a pregnancy pillow, but I didn't want to spend money on something that I would only need for a few months. I now realize how important sleep is during the last couple of months before baby arrives, because once the baby is born, there is no 'pause' on baby's development or needs. For my second pregnancy, my wonderful husband got me this body pillow. By the final trimester, I would use the body pillow for one week, and then trade it for two regular pillows for a week or so, as I needed different support.
The third trimester is also a great time to begin a regular meditation practice. I found a prenatal 'hypnosis' track on iTunes that I used for a guided meditation, and it helped me relax even though I thought it was a bit silly. I have read that meditation is really helpful for parents to learn to center themselves and remain calm when the trials of childhood overwhelm our children.
Labor and Delivery
The best things I can recommend for comfort during labor and delivery, hands down, is a Doula and/or laboring in water. We hired a doula, Kim Burks, for our hospital birth when Jason was born. I don't think I would have had an intervention free birth at the hospital without her help. When Jackson was born at home, getting into the water lowered the intensity of the contractions- it was an incredible relief to get in the water. Water during labor and delivery has an amazing, comforting effect, and I would like to dedicate an entire post to it when I can.
A Doula is a professionally trained labor support person. She does not replace your partner during labor; she relieves your partner of having to 'know what to do' during what is a completely new experience for most new parents. She has seen many, possibly hundreds, of labors, and she can provide positioning advice, massage, emotional support, encouragement, and much more.
Doulas can also provide information during the prenatal period. If you are looking for a hospital in your area that supports evidence based maternity care, an experienced Doula is likely to know local hospital polices and can suggest midwives or doctors that may fit your needs.
The DONA website has lots of general Doula information. For those in Albuquerque, Doulas of the Southwest have a monthly tea where you can meet many of the local Doulas.
I spent my first pregnancy so concerned about the birth that I gave little thought to postpartum recovery. I gladly took the enormous ibuprofen the nurse offered, and I still had trouble sitting up for a couple of days while my bottom was sore. It was certainly easier the second time around, but still not fun. The best relief I found after the first birth was witch hazel pads placed on the maxi pads.
My home birth midwives recommended having sitz bath herbs on hand, and the mix I got from The Herb Store was amazing. An ounce of the herbs is boiled for 30-60 minutes, and then it is poured through a strainer into a warm or hot bath. If your bottom is sore, you will want to place a rolled up towel underneath you in the bath. I would never have guessed that an herbal bath could have such a wonderful effect!
The 'tea' made from sitz bath herbs can also be used to soak cloth or disposable menstrual pads. The soaked pads can be frozen on an upside down bowl (to give it the right curve), and the frozen pads are great for healing stitches. You might want to wear them with absorbent underwear (like Depends) to avoid leaks as the pad thaws.
A few months postpartum, ask your midwife or doctor about a copper IUD. It is a hormone free contraceptive that can last for 10 years or more, and your fertility resumes immediately upon removal. Having an IUD inserted is not painless, but 10 minutes of discomfort can help you avoid the experience of labor after an unexpected pregnancy. I am thankful that I will have to plan a visit to my midwife before another pregnancy- it doesn't take long for my baby to be sleeping well before I might decide we're ready for another one!
What comforts have you found for pregnancy woes? Is there anything that did or didn't work for you? Is there a pregnancy symptom you are experiencing that you'd like to alleviate?

just happened to check here today - great post!ReplyDelete
advantages/disadvantages of using a sitz bath insert on top of the toilet?
what thickness of maxipads?
presoaked witch hazel pads?
I never tried the toilet-top bowl because I found that sitting on a towel in a regular bath was comfortable for me. The toilet top bowl would make it easier to get up and down (I needed help the first day or two), and you could bring it to the hospital. However, I love soaking in a hot bath, and having the postpartum 'sitz' bath herbs was a wonderful excuse to take my first super-hot baths since the pregnancy began.ReplyDelete
Regarding soaking the maxipads, I never tried that method because, while I was sore, I didn't tear much or have stitches. It was more of an idea I liked for longer-term recovery from tearing. Any thickness of pad would work to sooth a healing bottom, but overnight ones would stay cold longer.
The witch hazel pads were Tucks brand that were given to me at the hospital. I think you can get them from Walgreens, though. In the future, I think making my own might be nice.

Mexico City (AFP) May 24, 2012
Mexican authorities were on stand-by Thursday as the first eastern Pacific hurricane of the 2012 season, named Bud, strengthened to a category two storm off the southwestern coast.
"We are on alert, we are preparing some 120 shelters in the coastal towns," said the head of civilian protection for Colima state, Melchor Urusua.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said the storm had strengthened to a category two but posed no immediate threat to land.
It was roiling the sea 250 miles (400 kilometers) southwest of the coastal town of Manzanillo, with maximum sustained winds of 105 miles (165 kilometers) per hour, according to the US monitors.
The NHC however issued a tropical storm watch for the coastline from Punta San Telmo to La Fortuna, indicating that storm conditions were possible within the next 48 hours.
The storm was moving to the north at a speed of nine miles per hour and was not expected to approach the Mexican coast until late Friday, at which point it was expected to weaken slightly.
Storm swells causing "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" were expected along portions of the southern and southwestern coast of Mexico later on Thursday, the hurricane center said.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a US federal agency, meanwhile issued its Atlantic Hurricane Season outlook, predicting that a "near-normal season is most likely."
"The outlook calls for a 50 percent chance of a near-normal season, a 25 percent chance of an above normal season, and a 25 percent chance of a below-normal season," it said.
The Atlantic hurricane region includes the northern Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
"This outlook reflects the possibility of competing climate factors, combined with several circulation and sea surface temperature features that suggest a less active season compared to many in recent years," NOAA added.

Automatism, in toxicology, refers to a tendency to take a drug over and over again, forgetting each time that one has already taken the dose. This can lead to a cumulative overdose; a particular example being barbiturates which were once commonly used as hypnotic (sleep inducing) drugs. Among the current hypnotics, benzodiazepines, especially midazolam might show marked automatism.
