Anthropics, the folks who are responsible for PortraitPro (one of my absolute favorite portrait retouching software applications) and, more recently, LandscapePro, have been busy lately. The recent release of PortraitPro for tablets means that the software is now mobile. And even if you only take it with you to the studio, it's a convenient and easy way to do some quick adjustments or give clients a preview of how you'll be retouching the subjects of your shoot.
Available for iPad and Android tablets, the app costs $15 and offers all the same retouching categories and sliders of the desktop version. I've only been using the iOS app for a short time and installed it on a very old (2nd gen) iPad, so this is a quick first look of the app.
Like the desktop app, PortraitPro places an outline on the subject's main facial features (you get to choose gender and specify whether it's an adult or child). Use a finger or a stylus to fine-tune the placement of the identifying outlines and the image is ready for retouching. You have a choice of presets ranging from Female-Glamorous to Male-Enhance Cheekbones, and a multitude of options in between.
For more complete controls, head to the next set of options for face sculpting, skin smoothing, lighting, makeup and pretty much any aspect of a portrait you might want to retouch. You can even change color and hues of makeup, fix a subject's hair, change the lighting and control shadows, widen the eyes. PortraitPro is a little bit like instant (and painless) virtual plastic surgery, if you want it to be. There's even a retouching brush with which you can paint on (or erase) effects.
The app is missing a few things from the desktop version including side-by-side comparison (you can tap one of the two before/after icons to switch between the two) and there's no navigation window to scroll when you're zoomed in. There aren't as many save options as there are on the desktop version, but you can make copies along the way to save to the Camera Roll on the iPad. There are also several send/share/save options including email, Facebook, Cloud, etc.
Performance was mixed on my old iPad. Slider adjustments were almost in real time, but some of the functions, like opening the share menu, were sluggish. Whether that's a function of the app or my iPad is hard to say. While I think the app is great for quick retouches, the image size/resolution limitations and processing power on tablets may restrict you to just roughing out a retouch rather than producing a high-resolution final file on your mobile device. But it's a great tool for smaller files and for showing a client what's possible with this powerful retouching software.

Certifiable Predator B flies in California
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) announced on 28 November that its Type-Certifiable Predator B (TCPB) variant has successfully completed its first flight test at Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility near Palmdale, California.
Testing for type certification will continue for the next two years with delivery to the UK Royal Air Force anticipated to commence in late 2018. Three company-owned aircraft and two airframes designed for full-scale fatigue and static testing will be used for the qualification process.
The TCPB will be developed in different configurations, including an unweaponised maritime patrol variant to support open-ocean and littoral surface surveillance for coast guard, border patrol and disaster relief missions.
The aircraft is fully compliant with NATO's UAV System Airworthiness Requirements and the related UK DEFSTAN 00-970.
Linden Blue, CEO at GA-ASI, said: 'The first flight of our Certifiable Predator-B aircraft is a major milestone in our progression towards delivering a RPA that meets all NATO airworthiness requirements'.

In three starts Hutchinson, a ground ball pitcher, is 3-0 was a miniscule 1.20 ERA. In 15 innings, Hutchinson has struck out 21 batters while only walking two. He has absolutely dominated nearly every hitter he has faced, something he's done throughout the 2011 season.
Starting the season at low-A Lansing, Hutchinson has quickly moved up the ranks and posted an overall 14-5 record this year with a 2.53 ERA. It's really not stretch to call him the biggest riser in the Blue Jays farm organization this year.
With this success it's not surprise that Fisher Cats manager Sal Fassano is already talking about Hutchinson's prospects as a major league pitcher.
"Hopefully he can get to a point," said Fassano, "if not for the rest of the year where he can pitch at this level and get to the big leagues."
Pitching Coach Pete Walker believes that with some hard work on his change, that Hutchinson can compete at a major league level. It's his fastball control that is an aspect to his game that puts him ahead of his teammates and opponents.
"Good fastball command," said Walker. "It's really impressive for someone that young to come up with such impressive control."
For any starting pitcher to be as effective as Hutchinson has been, he can't count on just one pitch. Hutchinson is not a one trick pony, he's still working to add more depth to his arsenal.
"The slider is very effective," said Walker. "I think he's developing a changeup and I think those three things together that can make him a pitcher that can compete at a higher level."
Hutchinson sounds modest when he speaks too. Instead of talking about his impressive numbers, he talks about the work he needs to put in to reach the majors.
"I just have to continue to work on everything," said Hutchinson. "Just continue to work on all my pitches and try to not make as many mistakes."
Hutchinson is still a player with major potential. According to Walker, it seems Hutchinson's fastball is currently his only reliable pitch. What this means is his changeup and slider still can come a long way. When Walker was asked to describe what Hutchinson could work on the most, he noted that adding more consistency to his offspeed would help the most.
"I think refining the slider," said Walker. "Continue to use the changeup more to keep hitters off-balance and I think he's incorporating a new curveball so that will also help."
For a pitcher with such impressive numbers and a world-beating start to his Double-A career, it seems odd that he could be a pitcher who has so much to work on. That's exactly the reason that Hutchinson could be destined to become the ace of the Toronto staff someday -- as soon as he can become consistent with his pitches that is.
"I think I have to keep getting better," said Hutchinson, "better at everything and that will make me better overall."
Hutchison Still Has Room For Improvement

Raleigh bishop calls for reversal of controversial 'bathroom bill'
[His Excellency is really screwed up: He breaks ranks with his fellow North Carolina Catholic Bishop Peter Jugis of Charlotte to side with the pansexualist-ethic Episcopal "bishops" in opposing the bill, but he defends his own diocese's policies for "gender specific multi-stall bathrooms"!]
Catholic World News – May 09, 2016
BIshop Michael Burbidge of Raleigh, North Carolina, has said that state's new law prohibiting men from using women's restrooms should be repealed and replaced by more prudent legislation.
BIshop Burbidge– who had opposed the Charlotte ordinance that gave rise to the state law–said that the legislation was too broad, giving rise to complaints that it would result in discrimination on the basis of "gender identity." Citing the nationwide protest campaign against the North Carolina law, the bishop said: "Maybe we tried to do too much within that one bill that has created such discord."

"Although the Burmese junta will characterize the charade it announced today as an election--an exercise that only the junta considers meaningful--November 7, 2010 will be just another day in Burma, marked by continued government oppression and hardship for its people. I urge President Obama to renew his support for Aung San Suu Kyi and pro-democracy forces within Burma and work to ensure that elements of the international community are not tempted to recognize this mockery of the democratic process."

Fractional jet relation can be an low-priced way to own a snobbish jet. Fractional Jet Ownership is sometimes referred to as Fractional Jet Leasing or Jet Time Sharing. The thought is also referred to as halfway relation because it is not controlled to jet aircraft

Career Change Alternatives To Grad School
Many adults find themselves in the position of wanting a career change. But with the costs and time commitment of a graduate degree, it can be challenging to get the education you need to make a vocational switch. Here are some options on how to educate yourself for a new career, without having to get an entirely new university degree.
Vocational Schools
Vocational schools are one of the best options for students who want to switch careers, because the programs at vocational schools are geared towards preparing their students for a particular career. While many students choose to enter a vocational school directly after high school, this can also be a great degree alternative for older adults who want to focus on a specific trade. And the programs are often shorter (and thus, less costly) than the traditional degree program.
Whether you would rather do something more hands-on or more technical, there are many online and regional options for choosing a vocational or trade school. To find the most viable vocational school, look for a program that includes career guidance and help with job placement after the program.
For more information, contact a vocational school in your area, such as the New Mexico Institute of Dental Assisting.
University Extension Programs
Another option is to try an extension program for adults who work full-time. You can complete a certificate program by taking night classes every week. Some extension programs are designed to let you explore courses at your leisure, while the certificate programs are often more structured. Each university has its own requirements for students to enter their continuing education programs, but usually these are less stringent than their 2- and 4-year degree programs.
Online Schools
Finally, you should consider attending an online school that caters to one specific need in the workforce. For instance, there are many programs cropping up related to web development, user interaction design, and graphic design. The benefit of these programs is that you can work from anywhere and study at your own pace, but you'll need to be careful about verifying the school's reputation. Be sure to compare the curriculum and the skills learned with other similar programs.
Each of the ideas mentioned above can be great alternatives to graduate school if you're looking for a quick and affordable way to change your career. Consider that there are both in-person and online options for many of these educational programs, so your horizons are wide open for choosing a professional development program that suits your interests.Read More

Information Papers
Soldier as a System
What Is it?
The Army's Soldier as a System (SaaS) is the implementation of an institutionalized management process that focuses on providing trained and ready Soldiers able to outperform any opponent in the full spectrum of Army, Joint, and coalition force operations within the Army's current and objective force.
What has the Army done?
The Army has established the SaaS to improve the current capability of all Soldiers, regardless of their military occupational specialties. SaaS establishes a management process to support the development and approval of individual Soldier capability requirements. The SaaS strategy is made up of four capability development documents intended to identify gaps in Soldier capabilities. The first of these documents describes the minimum acceptable capabilities that the Core Soldier requires to perform basic Soldier tasks and battle drills. The SaaS builds on the Core Soldier's capabilities to meet the capability needs of those Soldiers in the Ground, Air, and Mounted roles. This, in turn, facilitates the development and acquisition of fully integrated Soldier material solutions that are worn, carried, or consumed by the individual Soldier that will provide superior capability to accomplish both individual and collective Soldier tasks and missions.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
Work continues to identify the current state of Soldier programs to support the establishment of Core, Ground, Air, and Mounted Soldier Systems within Army Force Generation model requirements.
Why is it important to the Army?
The individual Soldier is, and will always remain, the Army's center of gravity. SaaS provides a systematic, fully integrated approach to Soldier modernization and will enable all Soldiers to perform minimum essential Soldier tasks and battle drills. The modular system architecture of SaaS allows for individual Soldier mission tailoring that will increase Soldier lethality, survivability, mobility, sustainability, and situational awareness while reducing Soldier load and decreasing Soldier power requirements.

Hospital bag list
Started by Nut , Nov 16 2007 11:26 AM
84 replies to this topic
Posted 16 November 2007 - 11:26 AM
The revised list.
A note: This list is not to be seen as a "you must have all these items or you won't survive" type list. It is more a suggestion of things you may want to consider when packing. I recommend going through the list and just including what you feel necessary. Quantities are also just suggestions.
Many don't want aromatherapy for example, or are planning a very short stay in hospital. It's purely a guide to help with the mental strain as it's quite daunting.
Check with your hospital for a list of what is supplied. Many provide little gowns for the baby and nappies for example as well as plenty of nice warm blankets and almost everything you need to care for baby during your stay.
- Ante Natal Card
- Hospital Information
- Several copies of your birth plan (if applicable)
- Private Health Insurance details (if applicable)
- Cheque for Excess (if applicable)
- Medicare Card/Details
- GP's details
For Mum during the birth:
- Lip Balm - lips can become dry and chafed during labour from heavy breathing. This may offer some relief.
- Massage/Aromatherpay oils for during labour.
- Soothing Music of your choice for during labour, and CD player if hospital does not supply.
- Something comfortable to wear – I.e. a loose T-Shirt or nightie (something you don't mind throwing out in case it gets ruined).
- Something to put on afterward
- Extra Pillows
- Beanbag if preferred (check with your birthing hospital)
- Lollies or lollipops to suck on.
- Watch with a 2nd hand or a stop watch to time contractions
- Hand Mirror if you want to watch the head crowning and baby being born (or speak to your birthing hospital about mirror availability).
- Something to wear in the bath if you're shy
- Heat packs, massage tools etc. to help with pain relief or other items such as a TENS machine if you've hired one.
- Cool pack. Can be nice on the forehead and better than wet paper towels.
For Mum after the birth:
- 2 - 3 Nightie/Pyjamas
- Slippers/Socks
- Bathrobe
- 2 - 3 Nursing Bras & Tops
- 2 Boxes Breast Pads
- 8 x Underwear - It pays to have some old ones in the bag that can be thrown away in case of staining in the days after birth.
- Maternity Pads - At least 2 packets - your partner can always bring more if needed. (Some also prefer incontinence Pants - Not good post Caeser though)
- Toiletries - such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, hairbrush, hair bands, make up, deodorant, Liquid Soap, Moisteriser, Lanisoh.(Nipple Cream), Hairdryer (wonderful for drying yourself completely and gently.
- Eye Glasses/Contact Lenses - if worn.
- Face Washers
- Towel
- Day clothes - bear in mind that you will be sore so loose fitting clothes are the suggestion.
- A roll or 2 of your own SOFT toilet paper - You are bound to be tender and don't want to be using something hard and scratchy! Or Some prefer Flushable Wipes.
- Water bottle with a pop top squeezy lid to clean your bits in the shower
- Breast Pump - in case there is a need to express. The hospital should have these, but some women prefer certain brands and may prefer to use their own.
- Plastic bags for dirty clothes.
- Tissues.
- Metamucil & Ural.
- Multivitamins and any other medications you may need.
For Partner:
- Snacks for during and after labour - It can be a long time between meals for Dad so pack some snacks that he can nibble on whilst you are in labour.
- Panadol - some Dad's suffer from stress and tension headaches when watching their partners in pain and often hospitals won't give medication to fathers so it can be handy to have some in your bag.

- Wallet - if wanting to purchase from snack trollies, canteens, or Pay for the use of TV or telephone. Be careful about leaving money in your room when unattended, or simply make sure hubby has money with him each time he comes!
- Pen for filling out paperwork, and Thankyous if you feel up to it.
- Mobile phone and charger (if allowed)
- Your own Pillow/Doona.
- Box of Chocolates and thankyou Pressies for Midwifes.
- Sports drink for during the birth

My only other suggestion is Multi-Vitamins (Elevit etc) if you plan on continuing to take them if breastfeeding.
Posted 24 December 2007 - 09:14 AM
The only thing I would add is a warm Hat for baby, our hospital is quite strict on a hat being on babies head at all times as that is where most of their heat escapes from, and the air con in there gets quite cold.
Also, as an 'optional' thing, some baby nail scissors, both my kids had long nails, and hated the mittens, they would lose them and end up covered in scratches till I could get home to trim their nails. It would have been easier to be able to trim their nails right from the start.

One thing I also always pack (which I see is on the "for labour" list but it should be in the general list too)
A watch or bedside clock. I know where I have my babies, they like you to chart all feeds, wet and dirty nappies. yet the rooms never seem to have a clock. Makes it much easier to track all that if you have a small clock or watch beside your bed. I know mobile phones have the time but some hospitals/midwifes are strict on the No mobile phone policy.
Posted 27 December 2007 - 08:27 AM
I am just doing up my hospital bag list now and getting a little teary here are some other things I have on mine:
Socks in case feet get cold in labour
Aqium hand gel
Hand cream
Breastfeeding naturally book
Snappis for cloth nappies as the pins at the hospital are blunt
Present from #2 to DS
Posted 27 December 2007 - 04:26 PM
Next time I'll take Gagorage or one of the sports drinks for Labor as I was exhausted. And a squeeze bottle so if you have stiches you can use water for when you need to go to the toilet.
Posted 27 December 2007 - 07:17 PM
OMG I'm gunna need about 3 suitcases to fit all of that in!! I hope there is enough room in my hospital room to fit me, jay, the baby and all that stuff!!
That seems like an awful lot of stuff for the 3 or so days that you're in there.
xx Mel
Posted 27 December 2007 - 07:46 PM
You don't have to take everything on the list, just pick out what you think you will need.
Eg. I won't be taking any clothes for baby as the ones I took last time just got spewed on and created washing for me when I got home. They are generally wrapped anyway so nice baby clothes go to waste. Just take a going home outfit.
I won't be taking any toilet paper (hospital stuff was fine) but will definitely take my own pads! The ones they supply were used in the dinosaur age I'm sure! (Thick gauze like rectangle with no sticky stuff on the back)
I'm not taking my own towel as I don't want my towels getting stained, and I probably won't worry about something to wear to labour in - the clothes I took didn't make it out of the bag, I was in a T shirt and then the hospital gown the whole time.
Posted 27 December 2007 - 08:25 PM
Jayz Mel. Just to give you an idea. This is an example of what I would probably take from that list. Plus added a couple more.
Won't need any of it as it will all be on file there.
For Mum during the birth
Nothing from that list
But will take a pack of pads for after birth, some undies and a set of clothes to put on after birth. Also my toiletries bag from my hospital bag.
Along with a set of clothes for my DH as he may get wet as I like to be in the shower for pain relief (hot water)
For Mum
2-3 Pyjamas
Digital camera
2-3 Nursing Bras
2 Boxes Breast Pads
8 x Underwear - old ones as some will probably end up thrown away.
Maternity Pads - I will take 3-4 packs as I am a heavy bleeder
Toiletries - such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, hairbrush, hair bands, make up, deodorant, Liquid Soap. (also use post birth before returning to ward)
Day clothes .
A roll of soft toilet paper
Plastic bags for dirty clothes. (couple of these)
For Dad:
Money for pay phone - or a charged mobile phone to make birth announcement calls.
Also the change of clothes mentioned in my birth bag.
Magazines and books
own Pillow.
Watch or small clock for feeding, nappy change records
For baby
6 stretch suits
6 singlets
6 pairs socks/booties
3 bonnets/warm hats
3 cardigans -winter baby
2 Scratch mittens
Nappies & Wipes � Cotton Wool
Going Home Outfit
Bunny Rugs for going home
� A correctly fitted Australian Standards Approved Car Restraint
Most other things are either irrelevant to me or the hospital supplies them.

My number 1 item to pack each and every time I've given birth is a special, scented set of shower gel, deodorant, moisteriser and talc. Each time I've picked out a different scent, and saved the set for after the birth - and it's been such a special moment, showering after giving birth and being able to luxuriate in something simple but special.
It's my #1 suggestion for your hospital bag - something special and nice-smelly to shower and clean with after giving birth. Avon and Le Reve sell some good sets.
Posted 29 January 2008 - 09:30 PM
BBlessed, one of my really good long time friends has bought me some lovely L'occitane Cherry Blossom body wash and skin lotion to take to hospital. It smells gorgeous and I can't wait to use it. Great minds think alike.
Posted 30 January 2008 - 08:18 AM
i am having twins so that means double on the baby clothes eeekkkk
Posted 01 February 2008 - 08:01 AM
My hospital supplies all the baby clothes so all I need to ring is a going home outfit - check with your hospital.
Posted 02 March 2008 - 09:14 PM
A sports drinking bottle is a great idea I reckon! I took one in with me & it saved me having to reach for glasses of water & I didn't have to worry about spilling it or looking to see if I could even reach it for a drink!! Fill it up from the jug & keep it beside you somewhere handy:) Worked a treat for me.
Posted 10 March 2008 - 09:57 PM
Don't forget some large cans of Guiness. No seriously when it's day six and your baby isn't feeding and has jorndice and your milk is still dry and you haven't slept.... have a big glass of guiness and not only will you feel better but it really helps in milk production. It will not harm your bub!!!

I'm stocking up on food! I'm always famished after labour and the meals are too small!
I'm taking biscuits, chunky soup, chilli con carne, muesli, and real-sized mug.
Posted 15 March 2008 - 04:30 PM
A HAIR DRYER One thing I can't live without.
With my first it came in handy for drying "down there" as I had stitches. It was great as I could dry there without touching (ouch!!)
Then with #2 & #3 I actually used it for my hair. I have oily hair and have to wash it every day. It was great as 1. I looked good for my guests (I hated being a stay-in-PJ's mum at hospital!) and 2. I didn't get cold with wet hair in the air-con.
That said, I stayed in private, so I was there 5 days. If you are public...forget this item!
ETA: I bought a small travel size hair dryer. It has done me well. Not too bulky for the bag, and means I didn't have to remember to pack it in the bag when I went into labour (I wasn't going to pack my home one away...I use it every day! )

this one is more for your car.
keep a big garbage bag and a towel in the glove box or boot, or even on the seat,and if your water breaks in the car on the way to hosp it saves a big clean up after!!!
(obviously you put the plastic bag on the seat 1st then the towel on top)

I always take some framed photos of my other kids - as newborns as well as current ones. It's always interesting for the "Who is she / he like" discussions and I'm sure it makes the other kids feel special when they come in to see me.
I also bring in the other kids' baby books (the medical records books) as it's interesting to make comparisons.
Oh - I also bring in my favourite coffee mug from home. I don't like the teeny cups that the tea lady brings around - it's nice to be able to wander down to the patient's kitchen and make yourself a decent sized cuppa / hot chocolate.
Edited to add - I bring in some treats (snack sized choccies, colouring in stuff etc for my other pre-school aged kids when they visit).

I though to put my 2 cents -
I would also take:
- heat pack
- tennis ball in a socks for quick massage
- Rescue Remedy
- Arnica 30 - It's a great in post birth healing.

God is With You, No Matter What
Tough times may seem insurmountable, but they are no match for God! Even when you feel like you can't endure another day, God is guiding you safely through as you lean on Him. With compelling honesty and wisdom, Mary J. Nelson takes you on a rare journey into the heart of God and shows you how you can experience breakthrough and renewed hope in times of testing. Exploring the unchanging truths of Scripture will encourage you to believe that God has not abandoned you in your trials, but will bring special blessing to your life through them. Whether you are suffering job loss, failing health, family strife, or spiritual emptiness, Hope for Tough Times will bring you comfort and a deeper level of maturity as you emerge from your tough times into a new place of freedom.
Formerly published as Grace for Tough Times by Mary J. Nelson by Bethany House, 2006
"Mary J. Nelson has done it again . . . written a book that touches the deepest places of my heart. We all go through trials, some more than others . . . and what helps is having a hand to grab in the middle of the fire. Through her book, Hope for Tough Times, Mary has offered not only a hand, but a hope that will see all of us through the tough moments. Get a copy, not only for yourself, but for those friends who are doing their best to stay afloat in very stormy seas." –Holly Wagner, Author of Godchicks; When it Pours, He Reigns; Daily Steps for Godchicks
"Mary J. Nelson's Hope for Tough Times is a wonderful book to show us how to pass life's ten greatest tests and reach spiritual maturity. I recommend it!" –Alice Smith, Executive Director, U.S. Prayer Center
"What a wonderful book! Radiating warmth, its pages spill over with practical wisdom on how to connect with God, receive his grace, and move on with your life when tough times stand between you and your future." –Dr. Gary D. Kinnaman, Author and Senior Pastor, Word of Grace Church
"Mary J. Nelson has come through the Refiner's fire, not once, but many times. She has come to know his voice and trust his promises. Hope for Tough Times vividly describes each test you might face in life's journey. Her counsel, the personal stories, and the powerful passages from Scripture will help you 'to drink deeply from the well of his infinite love.' If you are discouraged or frightened, angry or lonely, this book comes just at the right time. You will be refreshed, and hope will be restored." –Bill Bohline, Lead Pastor, Hosanna! Church, Author of It's Sunday, but Monday's Comin'

Supernatural, 8×02 'What's Up, Tiger Mommy?' Scoop10/05/2012
Supernatural: Scoop on episode 8×02 "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?"
Here's some scoop on Supernatural from this week's (Posted on 10/2/12) Ask Ausiello column.
Question: You've been skimping on the Supernatural scoopage lately. What's in store for Sam and Dean? —Jordan
Ausiello: Kevin the prophet's mom (played by Lauren Tom) resurfaces in the Oct. 10 episode and, per exec producer Jeremy Carver, her presence "gives the boys, in an odd way, a bit of a mother figure that they haven't had for a long time. It's a fun dynamic. It can be a rather moving dynamic at times also. And of course, it also gives you a fourth wheel in the car that you've got to deal with."
Supernatural 8×02 'What's Up, Tiger Mommy?' Supernatural returns on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 9pm on The CW. In the new episode of Supernatural, 8×02 "What's Up Tiger Mommy,' Kevin talks Sam and Dean into checking in on his mother. When they arrive, they see that Crowley has surrounded her with demons so they rescue her and take her along on their quest to find the tablet. However, they soon discover Kevin wasn't kidding when he said his mother was a strong-willed woman after she tries to take on Crowley.

Terry was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Room was very good and nothing was left to chance. Can't praise the facilities enough every little detail had been carefully thought through. We wanted a 'triple' room and not many places offer this.Terry even sorted out our evening meal @ the local pub - I have no doubt that they would not have catered for us without her help. We were attending the WI Denman College and would strongly recommend this lovely B&B to any of our other WI members. Terry also gave us excellent directions to the college without having to drive through the town - nothing like local knowledge. If / when we come back to Denman we would certainly stay here - it would be number one on our list.
Ann Farrow - November 2015
We didn't arrive until 23:00 however Terry the owner was welcoming and could not have done more for us. We had tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits served to us in the lounge and Terry spent time to help us with planning our journey by bus into Oxford the next day. We were asked about our preferences for breakfast the next morning so that Terry could ensure she had everything we needed. We stayed in the family room which is very spacious, immaculately clean and has a superb wet room. Breakfast the next morning was delicious with a range of cereals on offer, as well as fresh fruit, yoghurts and an extensive cooked item menu. We sat at the table in front of the patio doors and watched the wild birds visiting the garden while we ate. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Oxford. One thing I really need to mention is this guest house has been equipped to deal with any disability that a guest may have. A great deal of thought has gone into everything and I am sure that any requirement would be dealt with professionally, happily and without making the guest feel awkward about the request. Thank you Terry for making it a home from Home.
Kerri W - October 2015
This recommendation is long overdue as we visited Terry at Abbey Guest House on 15th September 2015. We were made very welcome. Our room was extremely comfortable , very clean and very well equipped, every need was thought of. In fact it is one of the best guest houses we have stayed at. The food was delicious with a wide menu choice. Terry and her staff are lovely and so obliging. If in the area we would stay again.

Pasteles De Guayaba (Guava and Cream Cheese Pastries)
Recipe by NcMysteryShopper
This is a childhood favorite that conjures up memories of growing up as a gringa in South Florida and sitting in the open air Cuban Cafes and indulging on these sweet pastries! These pastries are wonderful with a café con leche!! They were a special treat that we were allowed to have on occasion for breakfast. It is actually one of the few things I actually miss about South Florida! The recipe is from Alex Garcia.
Top Review by MissTiff16
OMG! These are fantastic! And SOO easy to make!! I halved the recipe both times, first time I made them into triangles. The 2nd time I made them bite sized (perfect for a party) ~ To halve Recipe : 8 oz Cream Cheese. 2 Sticks Butter. 1 1/2 cups flour plus flour for rolling. Cut out dough with drinking glass and fill with a slightly heaping 1/2 teaspoon of guava paste. Pinch together edges with fork. Sprinkle with sugar. Makes 28-32 pasteles!! (cook pasteles closer to top rack in oven... I found some of the Large Pasteles weren't completely cooked). They turned out great either way ~ I prefer the smaller size because they're less messy and I can eat a ton! I think the only thing that would disagree with these tiny wonders are my hips!! :O) Thanks so much for posting! P.S. They freeze great too!! :O)
See Discussion:11 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition

Your subconscious mind controls the way you sleep with your partner. Sleep body language can be an amazingly accurate way to assess what's going on in your relationship. We bring to you a list of various sleeping positions for couples and what it says about their relationship.
If you and your partner sleep facing opposite directions with space in-between, it is a great thing. Couples that sleep back-to-back without touching are connected and secure in themselves. This position shows both closeness and independence in the relationship.
If you sleep back-to-back but you touch with your butts or backs, this is also a good thing. This position means both partners are relaxed and comfortable with one another. Yet this position is more common amongst newer couples, or those that have been together for under a year, rather than a more long-term duo.
3.Pillow Talk
This position shows a need for intimacy and close communication in bed.
4.Lovers' Knot
Believe it or not, this position is a sign of a strong relationship. This position is a compromise between intimacy and independence, allowing for the best of both worlds.
This position demonstrates a dynamic in which one partner takes a protective stance over the other. It sweet, but it can also be a little saucy. It's a very vulnerable position that's sexual, but says, 'I trust you.'
6.The Romantic
This sweet position is often seen in early relationships and occasionally rekindled ones. This is a very nurturing posture that creates a sense of protection. There's a high level of trust here as this position has a strengthening sense of comradeship and protection."
7.The Lovers
This is an extremely intimate position. It tends to happen when there is either intense emotions at play or at the start of a romantic relationship. Some couples maintain it throughout their relationship but it isn't necessarily a good thing. The couple could be too dependent on each other to sleep apart.
If this is happening in your relationship, it's time to have an honest conversation. One partner dominates the space, while the other takes a secondary role. You can also tell who is dominating a relationship by where their heads are when they sleep.
For couples sleeping in this position, comfort comes first. Whether you're together or apart, the relationship just works.

By Gene Meyer | Kansas Reporter
TOPEKA – Kansas Medicaid experts are still working out details of the state's new health plan, which is supposed to be up and running by January, the state's lieutenant governor said Wednesday.
Kansas wants to start the radically overhauled Medicaid plan Jan. 1, giving day-to-day administration of the $3 billion program to three health-care management insurance companies hired in June to run KanCare.
Kansas now runs a traditional Medicaid plan in which the state and the federal government jointly pay doctors, hospitals and other health-care providers directly for services to low-income and disabled patients.
Changing to a managed care plan, in which insurance specialists would potentially cap what gets paid, requires permission from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS has not indicated when it might announce a decision or what potential regulatory strings might be attached to any approval.
"Guidance from CMS has not been finalized," Kansas Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, said in national press teleconference called by a Florida think tank to promote similar Medicaid reforms throughout the U.S. Colyer is a surgeon named by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback to head the Medicaid reform project.
But until a decision is made, neither Kansas nor any other state considering a similar change can resolve all of the details needed for the program to work. So, Colyer said Wednesday, "we have not made any official statements yet."
All but three states in the U.S. – Alaska, New Hampshire and Wyoming — hire managed-care specialists to run at least part of their Medicaid programs. But few are trying to switch so massively as Kansas or Florida, which is seeking federal permission to expand to statewide a five-county pilot program established in 2006 by then-Gov. Jeb Bush.
Bush, a Republican, also took part in the teleconference sponsored by the Foundation for Government Accountability, a Naples, Fla., think tank that advocates Medicaid reform and free-market solutions.
Traditional Medicaid programs have become a "pay and chase system in which all the incentives are aligned to create a system that didn't create a health care system we wanted," Bush said.
But Greg Mellowe, policy director for the Florida Community Health Action and Information Network, or CHAIN, in Jupiter, Fla., counters that Medicaid reform requires more than simply turning the programs over to private managers. CHAIN is an affiliate of Families USA, a national health care consumers advocacy group in Washington, D.C., and both organizations have been critical of Medicaid managed-care efforts.
"There are reasons why, seven years later, legislation to take managed care statewide remains unfinished," Mellowe said in a telephone conversation after the news conference.
"We're still struggling with issues of accountability, and assurance about quality of care," he said.
Total Medicaid spending hit $401 billion nationally in 2010, and it's projected to jump to $586 billion in 2014, when expanded federal Affordable Care Act eligibility rules kick in, according to CMS Medicaid regulators. Totals could top $908 billion by 2020, the farthest year that CMS projected, if nothing changes.
States simply can't afford to pay their share of those escalating costs, Bush said.
"If you don't have Medicaid reform, you don't have money for education or other needs, either," he said.

Cagayan De Oro
December 18, 2011 by staff
Cagayan De Oro, As a storm that killed more than 650 in the southern Philippines raged outside the store where she works, Amor Limbago worriedly called home to check on her parents, but their cellphones just kept ringing and later went dead.
Limbago, 21, rushed home as soon as the flash floods receded and confirmed her worst fear: Her parents and seven other relatives were gone, swept away from their hut by the river. They had eagerly planned a small Christmas dinner in that hut just days earlier.
"I returned and saw that our house was completely gone," a weeping Limbago told The Associated Press from Cagayan de Oro city. "There was nothing but mud all over and knee-deep floodwaters."
Tropical Storm Washi blew away Sunday after devastating a wide swath of the mountainous region on Mindanao island, which is unaccustomed to major storms. It killed at least 652 people and left more than 900 others missing, the Philippine Red Cross said.

Aside from its cloud solutions, Enteracloud provides services such as virtualization, IaaS, data center colocation, and more.
Meanwhile, Time Warner Cable's Greg Wisniewski discussed the deal, saying "Time Warner Cable is working with Enteracloud to further advance our goal to become the destination for cloud enablement for our customers."
Earlier this year in July, Enteracloud announced that it would be expanding its San Diego data center facility. The company has other data centers located in Los Angeles and Phoenix. For more information on Enteracloud, visit: http://www.enteracloud.com/

The earth-shattering discourse unremarkably takes stick either at the start of the event, or the contiguous of the episode. The length of these speeches goes as a rule closing 45 proceedings to two work time in time. In contrast, a school assembly or seminar ordinarily lasts iii to 7 hours (or in several cases a amount of life). Motivational speakers come in from copious differing backgrounds. While the motivational mumbling occupation needs no straightlaced tutoring or qualifications, those who speak capably and carry out something in the vocation feature the proved gift to hoist up, instruct and awaken their audiences. Some of the superstar speakers, sports figures, politicians, Olympians and best marketing authors gain $10,000 - $200,000 per talking.
All over and done with the history, intense speakers have tinged the lives of billions of associates. Nowadays, in schools end-to-end North America , motivational speakers propel students to populate in school, call no to drugs, twist into leaders, and get waiting for go after completion. Adults driven by motivational speakers to go after their dreams and reach their goals.

One more kindness upraised is the pious speech (frequently bigoted to one faith) piles of motivational speakers fit.

To be so unsure about bothering with nursery at all?(21 Posts)
We are relocating to west Sussex from London in October just in time for primary applications for my son to start reception next September.
None of the schools we like have a school nursery so if we use one it will be a private pre school from next jan - september which taking out the holidays will be for a total of 26 weeks.
Is it worth it? Or am I just wasting my time settling him in somewhere for such a short amount of time before another massive change?
He is an October child so would be nearly 5 upon entering reception next year
I think it's worth it yes. It's 9 months...nobody counts up the weeks they're IN school or nursery....that's an odd way to look at it.
It won't be an unsettling thing for him...he may meet DC who he will attend school with especially if the school has no nursery.
Most children benefit from nursery socially and emotionally.
Depends on the child. DS' biggest benefit from nursery has been the social aspect- he is an only child and there are no toddler groups or activities in our very small rural village so without nursery he wouldn't have been mixing much with other children before school.
It has also been useful in introducing him to routine and being familiar with a teacher sort of figure, as well as pre-school learning of shapes, numbers etc.
If you feel your DS is ready or will be ready to cope with all that without attending nursery then I wouldn't bother,I know my DS wouldn't have been as prepared for school without nursery but many children who have brothers/sisters and cousins to learn from and bounce off would probably be more prepared.
It's also good to have that couple of hours each day free to do things you would either have to drag them along to or find childcare for.
I would do it. 26 weeks is half a year. A long time for a 4 year old.
Good to be in the routines of coatpegs and carpet time etc I would think.
London nurseries vvvv expensive. If you're using one then it's got to be the right choice financially. That said it would be a shame to miss out on funded hours for over 3s. It is good foundation for attending school. As an eldest in the year your ds would benefit from it.
My ds1 is similar age and really thrives at nursery.
This is the one time in a child's life that I believe they really benefit from being in an early years setting.
If he has always been cared for at home, rather than as part of a group, there are some things about nursery that could help him to get ready for school.
For example, he can learn to communicate his needs to someone who doesn't automatically know them and to wait his turn when two or three others also need some support.
In an early years setting, the ratios are much better so learning to function as part of a group is a gentler process. The hours are also usually shorter which is a kinder introduction. In a reception class it's likely to be full days with one teacher, thirty children and a TA if you're lucky.
I don't believe that younger children have that much to gain from being in group settings but a few months just before starting school can be really useful.
Zen OP is talking about W Sussex nurseries.
I think it will help prepare your child for the transition between home and a school like setting. Even a short amount of time will help your child to get used to a more structured environment.
It will also get him used to being around other children.
DS went to pre school for 18 months, and his confidence improved hugely from spending time with new adults and other children. He learned lots of things I might not have thought to teach him, which have been beneficial in improving his speech and motor skills.
He has also had so much fun at nursery, he really has enjoyed every single minute.
I would say it is worth giving it a go.
Thanks for your replies
He isn't an only child, he has a sister a year younger so we are out every day at parks etc so he's very user to socialising
The only thing he obviously isn't used to is being away from me / family and being in any type of class setting so maybe a few mornings a week prior to starting reception would be a good way to do it
There is plenty research out there that points to the huge benefits of a good pre-school entertainment. Children who have attended pre-school/nurseries often start school years ahead of their counter parts who have not had the benefits of such an education. The BBC has lots of good articles on this. Happy to provide more links if you wish.
I would send him, he will benefit from learning how formal childcare setting work and it will not be such a shock come September
Well that (almost) one year of pre-school is all that many summer born children do if they have a sahp. Ie they get the funding just after they turn three and go to school just after they turn four. And in our county there are virtually no school based nurseries, so most children do their pre-school year at either a village hall/parent run setting or a private day nursery.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't send him off to have the experience of sitting still for carpet time, listening to instructions, interacting with other children in a formal setting, learning basic phonics etc.
I guess it just threw me a bit as where I am at the minute there are school nurseries attatched to nearly every school so I always thought it nice as they then go onto reception with at least a few of those kids / get to know the teacher and building etc whereas this way it's literally for that time and then he will have to get used to a whole new environment come 9 months later that's my only concern
If he's not used to being away from you or family then yes, send him, because he needs to get used to it.
In fact, send him anyway because its good for him.
As long as he's being socialised by you and knows the basics of how to sit still for a few minutes etc. there is no real need for him to go to nursery.
They start school at a very early age here anyway so if you don't think it's worth it then don't bother.
Phonics is very overrated as well. Just sit and read with him.
We were in this position last year. I don't agree that preschool is necessary, or better for small children than being at home but we did decide to send dd - we basically gave her the choice and she wanted to go. We sent her 3 mornings a week and it's been a good balance for her.
he will have to get used to a whole new environment come 9 months later that's my only concern
I can see where you're coming from and I agree it would be better for him to be in a setting with close links to the school he will attend.
In a good early years setting, he will have the chance to get used to the routines of being cared for in a group. It is significantly different from being at home with someone who knows you like the back of their hand.
There are systems like maximum numbers at the sand table, listening for your name in a list, finding your coat in a scrum or having to go and get your own snack that he will need to get used to. In a nursery or pre-school there are more staff around to spot a struggling child, think through why they aren't managing and talk them through what to do. In a reception classroom it's a bit more trial and error.
The academic side of it doesn't matter at this age. What matters is that her feels safe and confident in the reception classroom because he is used to being cared for in that way.
ONly you can decide whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages but, having spent a lot of time helping out in classrooms and having worked for many years in nurseries, preschools and as a childminder, plus 17 years of parenting, I would say that being equipped to cope in reception is worth the disruption of having to settle in twice in a short period.
If he doesn't get that experience, he won't be penalised and the staff will do their best but the numbers will make it harder for them.
Neither of mine have gone to a nursery/ preschool attached to their school - many schools don't have them. Children join reception from all sorts of childcare settings (or none). It's two terms, which I think is long enough to get something out of it.
Very good points that I hasnt really considered so Thankyou very much for that
We have arranged to have a look at a few this week
It's a massive step for both of us on top of moving to a completely different area so a little overwhelming!
^...will be for a total of 26 weeks.
Is it worth it? Or am I just wasting my time settling him in somewhere for such a short amount of time before another massive change?^
26 weeks seems like little time to an adult, but think back to your own sense of time as a child; it's ages!
Apols for italic fail.

Marv Levy, the man who coached the Buffalo Bills to four-straight Super Bowl appearances, recently made a case for Andre Reed's Hall of Fame credibility.
Levy, who is a Hall of Famer himself, has seen the likes of Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith get inducted. However, Reed was such an intricate part of Buffalo's offense in the 90s, and Levy believes he deserves the honors.
"You can talk about statistics," Levy John Murphy, reported by Buffalobills.com. "When he retired,he was the third most prolific receiver of all time. But it went way beyond that with Andre. If you stop to think about it, we had a balanced offense, it wasn't just focused on one guy, and yet he racked up the catches. There was nobody ever in the history of the game better at coming across the middle, more courageous. His nickname with our players was 'YAC,' not because he talked about, but because of Yards After the Catch."
While Reed anxiously awaits the decision, those in Buffalo remember his legacy fondly. Fans reflect on the winter Sundays in December watching Reed and the Bills dominate the NFL with their prolific offense. Levy remembers them as well.
"There's one other element with Andre, with all those statistics you mentioned," Levy said. "He didn't get them in the nice weather, in a warm climate or in the confines of an indoor stadium, he got them in weather that was sometimes tremendously challenging.
