Whoever coined the phrase "big things come in small packages", would have definitely applied that expression to our new StarMax 90 TableTop Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. This ultra-compact Mak-Cass gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first telescope or a great grab-and-go second telescope!
The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 TableTop some serious magnifying power - the included 25mm and 10mm 1.25" Super 3-element eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. It collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope. So you'll be able to enjoy planetary delights such as lunar landscapes, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons. As you scan the Milky Way, you'll also be able to pull in some open and globular star clusters, as well as a nebula or two.
The tube assembly of the StarMax 90mm TableTop Telescope is attached to a stable swivel base, via a quick-release dovetail mount with adjustable altitude tension. The tube can easily be removed from the base and mounted on an optional photo tripod. The small swivel base itself can also be mounted on a camera tripod with a 3/8" screw.
A red-dot view finder, internal focuser (which moves the primary lens back and forth) and included 90� star diagonal round out the features of this compact, yet surprisingly capable, Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope.
One of the most interesting and rewarding aspects of amateur astronomy is the ability to view the heavens at different magnifications. Viewing magnification is calculated by taking the telescope's focal length and dividing it by the focal length of the eyepiece you are using. For example, using a 20mm eyepiece in a telescope with a 1200mm focal length yields a viewing magnification of 60-power (1200 divided by 20 equals 60). If you were to remove the 20mm eyepiece and replace with a 10mm model, your viewing magnification would be boosted to 120-power (1200 divided by 10 equals 120). While effective, this method of altering magnification can at times be a bit of a hassle since interchanging eyepieces must be done rather quickly in order to keep the object you're viewing centered in the eyepiece field-of-view, and in some cases focus adjustments must be made for different eyepieces. In some unfortunate cases, you may not have the ideal focal length eyepiece for viewing an object at the ideal magnification.
The Orion Add Make It Zoom! Kit provides elegant alternatives to using fixed focal length eyepieces. The Included Orion Zooom! Eyepiece has an adjustable focal length range of 7.2mm to 21.5mm, so you can alter the magnification of your view without removing the eyepiece from the focuser. Additionally, we also include our popular and versatile Orion Shorty 2x Barlow Lens, which doubles the effective magnification of any eyepiece used with it. With their powers combined (no pun intended), these handy accessories furnish a wide variety of viewing magnifications. For example, the 7.2mm-21.5mm Zooom! eyepiece used in a 1200mm focal length telescope provides a magnification range of 166.7-power (at 7.2mm setting) to 55.8-power (at 21.5mm setting). By inserting the Zooom! eyepiece into the Orion Shorty 2x Barlow, the magnification range becomes 333.3-power (at 7.2mm setting) to 111.6-power. Hours of enjoyment await once you have a magnification range of this amount at your disposal.
Rounding out the Add Make It Zoom! Kit is the Orion Beginning Stargazers Toolkit which includes the following four items designed to help astronomers find their way around the heavens.
The included Orion MoonMap 260 is a useful reference map of the Moon's surface that will help the whole family learn the names and locations of more than 260 craters, mountains, valleys, "seas" and other interesting lunar features you can explore with your telescope. Use the MoonMap 260 to identify craters you've observed, or use it before you go out with a telescope to plan a night full of Moon-watching family fun.

Level 1 Beginner - Suited for a wide range of uses, these telescopes are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required. Very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment but just want to take a look. Any of these scopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulas! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 2 Intermediate - These scopes offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 3 Advanced - These scopes provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. They have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but are but on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These scopes will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
Level 4 Expert - Expert telescopes offer uncompromising optical and mechanical quality for the most demanding amateur astronomer. They may be technically involved or designed for specialized use, such as astrophotography or detailed deep sky observation. They carry a premium price, but are designed to provide the ultimate performance in the field. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.

Don't think this has been posted yet-
First part of Chad Ford's chat (12/29)
Ronny, IN: Where am I going and when am I going to get there ... Tru Warrior?
SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:05 PM ET ) I think the Warriors are the best fit and have the most to offer the Pacers in return. I like trades where everyone wins and I think Golden State has the goods to make it happen. My runner up is Memphis.
bill, minneapolis: Hi Chad- Any update on Artest coming to Minnesota?
SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:07 PM ET ) I keep hearing this rumor, but don't get it. The Pacers are trying to shy away from players who are unreliable and the three most often mentioned coming from Minnesota -- Olowokandi, Eddie Griffin and Rashad McCants -- all have a history of being totally unreliable. Unless a third teams gets involved, I don't see how Minnesota is a player. If the Pacers have to settle for some combo of Olowokandi, McCants and/or Griffin, they'd be better off keeping Artest and getting counseling for Jermaine O'Neal.
Jeff (Indy): What if Ron Artest is right? The Pacers offense does stink. Looks to me that Carlisle has never wanted Artest and ran him off. This team stinks without Artest. Why would the Pacers want to be a middle of the road team just to make O'Neal happy? Don't forget, Detroit ran Carlisle off for a reason and it wasn't just Larry Brown.
SportsNation Chad Ford: (1
2:10 PM ET ) You have a point. Carlisle's stubborness did get him kicked to the curb in Detroit. However, I think he's done a great job with what he has. Artest was the teams second best scorer and nearly as important as Jermaine O'Neal. Everyone else on the team were supporting players specifically picked to support those two. With Artest gone, I'm not surprised they're struggling. The good news for the Pacers is that I believe Danny Granger has the potential to be an All-Star someday. If they're patient, I think they've already found their Artest replacement..
Phil, LA: Should the Lakers trade Odom?
SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:14 PM ET ) I don't get the hostility toward Odom. He leads the team in rebounding and assists and is the team's second best scorer. He plays just about every position on the floor for the Lakers and it's difficult to get 15 to 20 shots a night when you have a teammate who rountinely takes 30+. In other words, I don't think Odom is the issue. He's unselfish and helps them in so many ways. He's the one high priced player that I think Indiana should seriously consider ... he'd be a great fit in Indy. With that said, if I'm the Lakers, there's no way I trade Odom for Artest.

Edward C. Stone, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and internationally known planetary scientist, will lecture at the University of Colorado at Boulder April 15 in a talk titled The Search for Life Elsewhere.
Stone has served as the project scientist for NASAs Voyager mission since 1972 and coordinated the efforts of 11 teams of scientists in their studies of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. As the lead U.S. center for the robotic exploration of the solar system, JPL is managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology.
Stones free public talk, in Macky Auditorium at 8 p.m., is intended for a lay audience. The event is the 32nd George Gamow Memorial Lecture, a series that has featured public talks by internationally famous scientists since 1971. The series honors the late CU-Boulder physics professor George Gamow, who helped to develop the big-bang theory related to the creation of the universe.
Stone is the recipient of many awards, including the National Medal of Science from the White House, the American Philosophical Society Magellanic Award, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Dryden Medal and Space Science Award. A physics professor at Cal Tech, Stone also is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Astronomical Society.
Parking will be available for $1 near Macky Auditorium. From Denver take Highway 36 to Baseline Road, turn left on Baseline Road, right on Broadway, right on University and right on Macky Drive. Parking also will be available at the Euclid Autopark next to the University Memorial Center.

CHRIS Barker will miss tonight's trip to Barnet with an Achilles injury, but the Southend United skipper is not facing an extended spell on the sidelines.
The Blues left-back was forced to hobble off in the first half against Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend and was seen leaving the stadium on crutches.
But Southend boss Paul Sturrock feels Barker could soon be back in action.
"Chris won't be playing tonight which is a blow but it's not a long term problem he has with his Achilles," said Sturrock.
"He should be back in a week or two which is good news because Achilles injury can sometimes be quite serious."
Blues will also be without midfielder Marc Laird (hamstring) and Gavin Tomlin (thigh) but the pair of them have both resumed running and Sturrock also feels they could be back in action within a fortnight.
Mark Phillips (broken toe) will also miss out tonight while Bilel Mohsni serves the last of a three match ban following his sending off against Northampton Town.
And Sturrock feels recent results show Barnet will be tough to beat tonight.
"They're unbeaten in three, drew with Port Vale and went and won at Rotherham not so long ago as well so we're in for a very difficult night," said Sturrock.
"They have some very good players and will be hard to be beat."
Among those likely to line up for Barnet is player manager Edgar Davids who has made 18 appearances for the League Two side this season.
The former Dutch international combines his playing duties with also bossing the team and Sturrock is pleased to see the former AC Milan star starting his managerial career at a low level.
"I think it's great that someone like Edgar has started in League Two and is prepared to get his hands dirty," said Sturrock.
"I think it's the best way to learn your trade, instead of being put in control of a big club straight away.
"It will do him good and he's got Barnet playing some good stuff in a solid shape so it should be a good game this evening."
Sturrock looks set to make changes to his starting line-up for the trip to Underhill with Anthony Straker replacing the injured Barker at left-back.
Midfielders Matthew Lund and Ben Reeves are also pushing for recalls.

Jesus and Jazz
This past summer, God gave the Jason Harms Quintet, the opportunity to spread the Gospel among the people of the Dominican Republic through jazz.
We were invited to play at a club in Santiago. The house band gave us a half-hour before they would take the stage that night. Once all the technical issues were worked out, we had about twenty minutes to play. We started our set and out of nowhere, it seemed, people began to fill the place.
The leader of the house band was so blessed with the music he became frustrated that the growing crowd wasn't more attentive. They seemed to be enjoying the set, but he wanted them to enjoy it more.
After twenty minutes, he took the microphone and started laying into the audience. I only understood two words of his minute-and-a-half speech: "attencion" and "musica." I thought we were done for the night, but he turned to me and said, "Keep playing!" in English.
We were at the point in the set where we usually play our testimony songs. The house had been silenced to better enjoy the common grace of God in the sound of jazz. And we were able to articulate through song why this common grace exists—to lead us to the fullness of God's grace in his Son!
Later, we were at one of the largest radio stations in the country for an interview. The hosts were firing back and forth at each other in Spanish, and then one turned to me and asked in English, "What song should we play?" I said, "Track three, 'Give me Jesus.'"
One of the interviewers said, "'Give me Jesus?' Why do you play that song in jazz?" I responded, "Regarding music, I love the sound of jazz. Regarding theme, I love the truth of Jesus. So that is what I love to play." They put the song in and within the first few bars, they were so much enjoying the sound, they had to give to the theme a listen.
In cross-cultural missions, there are many barriers. Music cannot break down all of them. But the pleasure we take, Christians and non-Christians alike, in jazz can establish a powerful connection and a means to sow his word. We sing about Jesus not knowing who the Lord may give ears to hear.
The Gospel doesn't need any help from jazz; it is Christ who saves and nothing else. But God uses all that he has made to break into our hard hearts to reveal himself as our greatest need and greatest pleasure.

A Fertile Investment Idea
Fertilizer makers have generally underperformed the overall market over the last 12 months; however, they are well-positioned for the long term.
Hundreds of millions of people in the developing world are moving out of poverty. As they do, they will demand, and be able to afford, more protein and a higher quality and quantity of food. Given the growing overall world population and a limited amount of arable land, producers of products that boost food output per acre hold the catbird's seat over the long term. Fertilizer is a key component to boosting crop yields because 40% to 60% of yield is determined by crop nutrients. I particularly like North American fertilizer makers to benefit from this secular trend. They are in close proximity to some of the most productive arable land in the world in the Midwestern U.S. and in Canada. They also have access to the lowest cost natural gas in the world, and this input usually is at least 20% of operating costs....231 more words left in this article.

text: Brought down to earth By Dave Hickman October 13, 2012 Story Share AP Photo West Virginia's Andrew Buie is wrapped up by Texas Tech's Tre' Porter (left) and Jackson Richards. LUBBOCK, Texas - It was pretty much a given, wasn't it, that at some point this season West Virginia's offense wouldn't be able to produce points at the same rate its defense allowed them?Well, sure. But here's what was totally unexpected: When it happened, it was equal parts the fault of a porous defense and an offense that barely put up a fight.West Virginia's awful defense was at its rock-bottom worst Saturday, which allowed Texas Tech to score almost at will and hand the No. 5 Mountaineers a stunning defeat. But the offense that had wowed an entire nation didn't show up either, and WVU was buried under a 49-14 score.The loss, in front of a sun-drenched crowd of 57,328 at Jones AT&T Stadium, snapped a nine-game win streak by the Mountaineers that dated back to last season and will send them on a nosedive both in the national polls and the court of public opinion.The high-powered offense and the big-time quarterback on display? They both belonged to Texas Tech, which rolled up 676 yards. Quarterback Seth Doege, rendered almost an afterthought in the Big 12 this season, compiled Geno Smith-like numbers - 32 of 42 passing for 499 yards and six touchdowns to four different receivers.As for Smith, he had by far his worst game of the season and perhaps the last two seasons. He finished 29 for 55 for 275 yards and a touchdown. He extended his streak of passes thrown without an interception to 313, but he consistently overthrew receivers and seemed to have trouble with the swirling winds.Afterward he shouldered the blame."There's no excuse for what happened today,'' Smith said. "I was off. I wasn't hitting my targets. But I have no explanation for it.'' Smith also played the second half without his favorite receiver, Stedman Bailey, who appeared to injure a foot. It was one of several injuries the Mountaineers (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) dealt with, including losing defensive end Will Clarke before the game. Right guard Jeff Braun also played sparingly and cornerback Brodrick Jenkins left in the fourth quarter.None of that, though, was used as an excuse."The bottom line is this: They played better than we did on all three sides of the ball,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said during a short and rather terse press conference. "They played a lot better than we did on all three sides of the ball. They played harder than we did. The effort was harder. They outcoached us. We let the situation get to us.''It all came after what to a man everyone agreed was a great week of practice. That was the most mystifying part of an afternoon in which a Texas Tech team that was drubbed 41-20 a week ago by Oklahoma on this same field looked like world beaters. "This was probably the best week of practice we've ever had,'' said cornerback Pat Miller, who was again burned for several of Tech's big plays - 10 of which went for 20 yards or more. "We have to put it all on ourselves. We just didn't play.''No, but the Red Raiders (5-1, 2-1) certainly did. Doege was unquestionably the catalyst. He orchestrated an offense that averaged 9.4 yards per play, had 30 first downs and punted just once. His 499-yard passing total was a career high.And he one-upped Smith, the guy who coming into the game was the runaway early leader in the Heisman Trophy. Not that Doege cared much about that. "I didn't really think about that. I just liked looking up at the scoreboard and seeing that [final score],'' Doege said. "It makes you feel like a kid. I've always wanted to be a part of people rushing the field.''With the exception of a brief period in the second quarter, this wasn't even competitive. With Doege throwing for 336 yards and four touchdowns in the first half, Texas Tech rolled up a 35-7 lead by the break.The Red Raiders had gone ahead 14-0 on their first two possessions, the first time West Virginia had trailed by that much since falling behind Pitt 14-0 nearly a year ago. Doege threw touchdown passes of 39 yards to tight end Jace Amaro and 19 yards to Eric Ward. It should have been a tip to what was about to happen when Amaro caught his TD pass with no defender even around him.But for a brief time it appeared as if this would merely be the same type of back-and-forth that West Virginia played in a 70-63 win over Baylor two weeks ago. West Virginia quickly countered with a touchdown drive and Smith's 7-yard scoring pass to Bailey to make it 14-7. WVU also drove deep into Tech territory twice before running out of downs. From that aspect, the offense was moving and it seemed only a matter of time before it would begin finishing drives, as well.But beyond those first few opportunities, the Mountaineers got few others. A week after converting five fourth downs against Texas, West Virginia missed that many against Texas Tech, going 2 for 7 on fourth downs. The Mountaineers also punted a season-high four times.When Doege went on to throw TD passes of 16 yards to Marcus Kennard and 2 yards to Darrin Moore, then running back DaSale Foster just made the WVU defense look slow and silly on a 53-yard touchdown run, it was 35-7 at halftime and it was over. Doege added two more touchdown passes to Moore in the second half and West Virginia finally got back on the board on a short run by Dustin Garrison with 21/2 minutes to play, but that was after the score had grown to 42-7.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Dear Mr. Abrham, I see that you have tried to avail a lot of Ethiopian policies to the reader. I am Akash Shrestha from Nepal and I am very new to the field of research. I am currently studying Nepal Airlines Corporation. I have learned that Ehiopian Airlines is one of the success stories of state-run enterprises. So I wanted to compare its Act or any other regulating document with that of Nepal Airlines Corporation Act. Could you please link me up with the Act that regulates Ethipian Airlines? I have googled it a lot but just can't seem to get my hands on the Act. It would be great if you helped. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Street painting festival enjoyed by many
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - The 15th Annual Via Arte festival at The Marketplace was a big hit with professional artists, students and the community.
The two-day event kicked off Saturday, Oct. 5, and was presented by the Bakersfield Museum of Art.
Artists paid to register a square for their art and a Via Bambino square for children was offered for $15.
The weekend also featured entertainment by professional artists and musicians, including Cuong Nguyen, Mento Buru and Fat Daddy Blues.
The festival is modeled after the Italian tradition of i Madonnari and celebrates arts in the community. The folk artists in the 16th Century became known as Modannari because they would often recreate images of Madonna during street festivals with crude materials such as chalk.
The Bakersfield Museum of Art is located downtown at 1930 R St.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The baseball season? A marathon, a mauler, a meandering mega-challenge for mind and body.
The Giants' past 17 games? Basically the leg-killing conclusion to Stage 1, all set up to stagger the Giants if they weren't ready and willing to fight through it.
That's why there was such a palpable sigh of relief -- and exhaustion -- coming from the Giants clubhouse after their 4-1 victory over Miami at AT&T Park on Sunday.
They've climbed the first big hill, and from here, after more than a quarter of the season, the view is pretty nice.
"I think, all in all, everybody is feeling good," catcher Buster Posey said Sunday afternoon. "I think our starting pitching's been pretty good, swinging the bats OK.
"I don't think we're clicking on all cylinders, which is kind of a good feeling knowing there's room to improve.
"But, yeah, overall I think we're on the right track."
The Giants took some injury hits in this stretch of 17 games in 17 days and four cities, but they did more than survive it.
The Giants went 11-6 during this grueling early-season test, increased their N.L. West lead from one to three games and currently own the best record in the National League at 28-17.
And now they get their first day off since May 1 before starting a three-game series at second-place Colorado on Tuesday.
This obviously is just the start of things for the Giants -- there is more than two-thirds of a baseball marathon left for them to run, and all sorts of things might go wrong from here.
But the Giants could've hit the wall already, after traveling to Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles and then playing the Braves and Marlins at AT&T, all without a break.
The Giants could've dug a hole -- or allowed the schedule to dig a hole for them.
And they didn't; in fact, the Giants did the opposite and gained ground through the crucible.
Which led to the team-wide sigh of relief and general sense of accomplishment Sunday.
"I think we're in a good place," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I like the way the guys handled the stretch.
"Some of them were out there almost every day -- (Brandon) Crawford, (Hunter) Pence. And they kept getting after it."
Just for example: Over this same period, the Rockies went 8-7, and the third-place Dodgers went 6-10.
Milwaukee, which had the best record in the N.L. on May 1, has gone 7-9 since then.
"I think we're in a good place," Posey said. "Playing with some confidence."
During this stretch, the Giants lost Brandon Belt for two months after breaking his thumb, and now they're waiting to see how Angel Pagan's shoulder reacts after a hard crash sprained his AC joint Saturday.
But the Giants' pitching has held up, which was underlined by Ryan Vogelsong's seven shutout innings Sunday.
After putting up a grisly 5.40 ERA in five April starts, Vogelsong has a 2.05 May ERA, and the Giants are 3-1 in his starts this month.
"What I liked about Vogey is the stuff -- it's the same stuff he had in 2012," Bochy said. "I thought he had a little zip on his fastball that he normally has when he's going well.
"You look at his last few starts, they've been impressive."
And, as Posey pointed out, there is plenty of room for improvement by the Giants offense, though Pablo Sandoval could do that almost all by himself.
Sandoval hit a solo home run Sunday -- his first homer since April 13 and his third of the season -- and his batting average is up to .220 after entering May at .177.
Which, Posey said, everybody in the Giants clubhouse knew was coming.
"Oh sure, definitely -- I mean, he's been so good for a while now that you figure it's only a matter of time," Posey said.
Now the Giants can exhale, at least for a day, before the grind continues again.
They won't have another stretch like this until late August into early September, when they play on 16 consecutive days in four cities (at the Cubs and Nationals, home against the Rockies and Brewers and then at Colorado).
But the Giants know they can survive these kinds of tests and look great doing it -- and the rest of the league knows it, too -- because they just did.

Domestic Violence
Should I leave?
I have been in a relationship with boyfriend for three and half years. Living with him for one year. There has been verbal, emotional and physical abuse for two and a half years. He has stopped physical abuse for two months but verbal and emotional abuse has not. I am college degreed professional who is financially independent, with two sons, one four and my youngest by him, who is one. I need good advice to figure out how to best protect myself and my sons. Physical abuse has happened about 20 times in two years. before, during and after my pregnancy I have been kicked in stomach, slapped in face and head, punched in face and head and arms, slams doors in my face, ignores me, poked in my temple, pushed and shoved, spit at, and dragged down the hallway pregnant by my hair. I have been to emergency room five times. I have been called ho, bitch, slut, fake, mf, cunt, fat, evil, demon, devil, dumb ass, jerk, stupid, lazy, many many times in person, on vmail, texts and emails. I have six police records of abuse. He has put me down and criticized me unfairly about how I handle my job and the fact that most of my family and friends don't really like him. Our house has broken doors, walls ect from him violently breaking into a room where the children and I were sleeping. He has hit his puppy with his hands so hard that I couldn't stand it. He has begun sex with me on some occasions while I am asleep, which was strange to me. He has attempted to slap me and accidentally hit our son, as I was holding him when he was 4 weeks old, in the face. This was after he had already slapped me once. On another occasion, he began taking our son from me and held him while he'd slap me. He had a violent, abusive, dismissive mother and drug addicted abandoning father. He seems to love our sons, and plays with them and won't do much more unless I ask him to. But I don't bec he smokes marijuana and is forgetful, sluggish and many times irresponsible. and my two boys require a lot of energy and attention. I believe was doing more drugs than weed. He used to sweat profusely during his sleep when the house was cool..And it was winter time. Have seen him hide bags of some substance when id walk in as well. He would leave the house a lot. Hang at friends way too much to be 30 years old. He would act untrusting, erratic, abusive, mean and paranoid. He was very abusive and hard to live with then. I asked him whether he was taking something else and he'd get angry and or deny. But I didn't believe him. For about two months he had stopped hitting me. Said he'd do counseling but made no move to do so. He expressed that he was different and was changing. He began waiting for me to order first at restaurants, holding the door all the time. He was doing much less verbal and emotional abuse and if he did it was minor and he'd apologize. Seemed to just be doing weed and not the other substance, as he wasn't sweating at night. He was acting more rationally and helping a little more in the house. He was happier and more involved.
But last week he switched back to the old bad guy again, he began verbal, emotional abuse again and picking fights. Spitting while yelling obscenities at me with clenched fists. Getting very angry and screaming and cursing at me. calling me every name in the book when he doesn't get his way or we have a disagreement. Accusing me of trying to hold him back in life and screaming that I am preventing him from doing things which is absolutely not true. However when he's not angry he says im the best thing that happened to him. When I cry, from his bad treatment of me he calls me fake and cry baby and gets angrier...yelling and threatening for me to stop crying. He rarely comforts me when I cry. I have also noticed that he is sweating heavily in his sleep again at night....
I am afraid of him at times when we are alone and feel absolutely happy with him sometimes but not as much lately. And have thoughts that he'll hurt me badly if I talk back or defend myself too much. Most importantly so, i`m afraid of the negative effect he will have on my sons. Lately I feel like I must leave him, because I am further hurting my sons if I continue to stay in this. And I do not want to do that. I feel now like he will always act this way, going back and forth from good to very bad behavior. It is frustrating, confusing, depressing, lonely and sad life half of the time. I want to leave. Should I leave? And if so how do I stay away to break this horrible cycle I am in? How do I stop believing he will change?
My advice is for you to begin taking steps to leave this relationship. If this type of abuse has been going on for 3 plus years, it is time to make plans to exit this relationship no matter how many "benefits" you may be receiving from it. Your experience alone is enough justification for you to consider moving you, your sons AND your puppy out of the situation.
That said, research has shown that women who endure the kind of abuse you're enduring have significantly worse health than non-abused women, for many YEARS after the abuse ends. Moreover, children who grow up in homes where violence occurs against their mother suffer adverse health and adverse academic, behavioral and social consequences.
Worse case scenario -- you are putting yourself, your children and your puppy at risk of death should the violence get "really out of hand." You MUST begin taking steps to leave this relationship.
My first suggestion is that you tell a trusted friend and/or family member (or both) about what has been happening. I suggest you gather some belongings for yourself, your children and your puppy (e.g., clothes, car keys, identification, and money if you have it); stash these belongings in a private place where you can access them when you leave. I suggest you get into contact with a shelter, such as CHOICES in Columbus, Ohio; the staff there can help you assess your situation and make a safety plan for leaving.
If you would rather, you can call the police for an escort to the shelter. In addition to these things, if you have a trusted health care provider (a family doctor or nurse), I would get in contact with them immediately and let them know about your situation. You may be eligible for social work services.
If you feel like you can't leave the situation for yourself, please consider leaving it for your children and for your dog. They will be forever grateful to you. Please write back if you need additional help.

Bill to sever parental rights of rapists ready for governor
A bill that will sever the parental rights of a rapist if a child is conceived as a result of the attack, passed the House on Tuesday by a vote of 115-0. The bill (SB 964), sponsored by Sen. Joseph Abruzzo, D-Wellington, is now headed to Gov. Rick Scott.
Current law allows for the court to terminate a parent's right if the termination is in the best interest of the child but does not include rape as grounds for termination of parental rights.
Rep. Dave Kerner, D-Lake Worth, sponsor of the House companion bill, said that "it's important to bring our laws into conformity with the 21st century." But "the fact that we would allow a father, a rapist, to petition the court for parental rights, and that court would not have the authority to not grant the petition under our current statuatory law is deplorable quite frankly.
Kerner, an attorney, former Lake Worth police officer and special prosecutor, said he believes the bill can do more than modernize the law.

MISSION VIEJO, Burl Estes: The U.S. Justice Department is suing credit rating agency Standard & Poor's for involvement in causing our 2008 economic meltdown. S&P was the rating agency that, more recently, downgraded the U.S. credit rating.
|MCT Illustration
The Justice Department is not suing other credit-rating agencies, such as Moody's, which also rated the packaged mortgages sold to Wall Street. Payback time?
I think the Justice Department should sue New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Rep. Barney Frank, since they were primary causes of our economic meltdown.
After the Department of Housing and Urban Development became a regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 1992, those government-sponsored enterprises set numerical goals – quotas – for the share of their lending that was to be for "affordable housing." In 1996, HUD set a target that 42 percent were to be financed for people with incomes below the median income in their areas. When Andrew Cuomo later became the head of HUD, he raised that quota to 50 percent.
Responding to a bill that would strengthen regulations affecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to fears these entities were buying mortgages from those who couldn't possibly afford them, and then packaging and selling them to Wall Street, Rep. Frank claimed, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial crisis."
In rating those mortgage packages, S&P had no firsthand knowledge of who those subprime and Alternative-A mortgage buyers were. All the organization knew was that they were packaged mortgages and that mortgage securities had been a solid investment for 108 years.
In short, our government screwed up big time by trying to make "affordable housing" available to people who couldn't qualify for mortgage loans under long-established lending rules that required proof of both income and credit history. By doing so, the people they hurt the most were minorities.
The first 11 foreclosures in my middle-class neighborhood involved Hispanic families who were, in essence, victimized by our government, which was trying to help them achieve the American Dream of homeownership. And the first institutions that collapsed, requiring government intervention and billions in bailouts, were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Hagel under fire
IRVINE, Chuck Booth: Gee, why are all these tough questions being put to Chuck Hagel? He just wants to handle the responsibility of the country's defense. If he doesn't know something, he can ask the president, who can ask some sergeant. He's just a politician. They don't have to actually know anything, do they? He also doesn't know the administration's policies on Iran. As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once said, "What difference does it make?"
Hmm, maybe picking on him isn't such a bad idea.
Students' sticker shock
NEWPORT BEACH, Scott Anderson: The Register missed it on the editorial, "Student debt and bankruptcy" [Feb. 1]. The last line gives it away: "Congress is starting to realize that students and graduates overburdened with debt need help." So it's now, "I'm from the government, and I am here to help?"
The student-debt crisis is a crisis of people not willing to take responsibility for their actions. They think that the government will bail them out. The student-debt crisis has begun to correct itself as potential students are not going to school.
Graduate school and law school admissions are falling because people cannot see the value in it. Community colleges in California are being revamped to give registration priority to students with the better GPAs and those pursuing a degree. Who would have thought?
The government thought it could move everyone into the middle class by financing home ownership and a college education for all. How's that working out? The government forgot that people in the middle class have a quality called "responsibility." They don't teach that in school. The best teachers in the real world are personal experience and the experiences of others; that, ironically, is part of what a free market is all about.
The Register should not buy into student-loan victimhood. Students got the money to buy something – an education. It did not turn out to be as good a product as they thought – for whatever reason. The student borrowers bought it. They should pay for it. Otherwise, by declaring bankruptcy, everyone else has to pay for it. Isn't "everyone else has to pay for it" the same thing as a "tax"?
Garbage in and out
IRVINE, Laurie Prentice: Regarding the article about the 7-year-old boy tossing his lunch into the garbage and being forced to eat it ["School food incident eats at family," Local, Feb. 6]: the Register seriously wasted space with this drivel? Not that the writing was bad – it was the content.
The teacher made a poor choice when she did this. Did these parents contact the paper about this? No wonder we have become a nation of weak-minded people. Look at how kids are raised and what parents think is important. Shame on the Register for allowing something like this to go into the paper.
Tustin makes history
TUSTIN, Sharon Nicola: Feb. 1 marked the start of National Black History Month, and local history was made that day as Al Murray became Tustin's mayor.
At Tustin's inaugural event, sponsored by the Tustin Community Foundation and held at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club on Feb. 1, Murray became the first African-American man to be elected mayor of any O.C. city.
Serving as mayor and as a council member only continues his contributions to community service that have marked his career and personal life.
Many Tustin residents stand with me to support his goals for our city as he takes on this challenging role.
Pay off state debts first
ANAHEIM, Jeanine Short: I don't understand Gov. Jerry Brown's position, which the Register agrees with ["A hard lesson learned?" Editorial, Feb. 5]. He promises that any future budget surpluses (unlikely to occur) will be placed in reserve for California's next fiscal disaster.
The Register says, "That's how the nation's best-managed states handle their fiscal affairs. And they are rewarded, accordingly, by the credit rating agencies." I suggest that California would be better-served in paying down its debt, which would have the added benefit of reducing the interest on the state debt.
The Boy Scout code
LAGUNA NIGUEL, John H. Seibert: Homosexuality is defined in the Dorland's Medical Dictionary as "sexual attraction toward those of the same sex, as distinguished from heterosexuality." The boys are learning the basic morals and manners of future gentlemen in our society. They are sexually immature and naïve. Many, if not all, of them have never had a sexual experience. To expose young boys to homosexuality at a time when they have not reach puberty is against all the ethics and codes of the Boy Scouts of America.

|Meeting at Malfoy Manor
|Event information
Strategy meeting to discuss plans to capture or kill Harry Potter and take over the Ministry of Magic
- "I shall attend to the boy in person. There have been too many mistakes where Harry Potter is concerned, Some of them have been my own. That Potter lives is due more to my errors than to his triumphs. I have been careless, and so have been thwarted by luck and chance, those wreckers of all but the best-laid plans. But I know better now. I understand those things that I did not understand before. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be."
- —Lord Voldemort[src]
The Meeting at Malfoy Manor was a gathering of Death Eaters and supporters of Lord Voldemort (who was present at the meeting) in the summer of 1997 during the height of the Second Wizarding War. It took place during the week preceding the Battle of the Seven Potters, and happened at Malfoy Manor, in Wiltshire, England, the home of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy and their son, Draco, being used as a Death Eater headquarters for Voldemort. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Death Eater's subsequent take-over of the Ministry and for Voldemort hear Severus Snape relay information useful in the plotting the murder of Harry Potter.
By the summer of 1997, Lucius Malfoy and many other Death Eaters had escaped Azkaban prison, and the Dark Lord had made the Malfoys' home his headquarters. While the Malfoys were very uncomfortable with this, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius's sister-in-law, who also resided there, claimed there could be "no higher pleasure" than having Lord Voldemort stay with them.[1]
Topics discussedEdit
Harry Potter/Infiltration of the MinistryEdit
- Snape: "My Lord, the Order of the Phoenix intends to move Harry Potter from his current place of safety on Saturday next, at nightfall"
- Voldemort: "Saturday...at nightfall. Good. Very good. And this information comes --"
- Snape: "--from the source we discussed."
- Yaxley: "My Lord, I have heard differently. Dawlish, the Auror, let slip that Potter will not be moved until the thirtieth, the night before the boy turns seventeen."
- Snape: "My source told me that there are plans to lay a false trail; this must be it. No doubt a Confundus Charm has been placed upon Dawlish… I assure you, Yaxley, the Auror Office will play no further part in the protection of Harry Potter. The Order believes that we have infiltrated the Ministry."
- — Excerpt from the meeting at Malfoy Manor[src]
Shortly before Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday, Severus Snape and Yaxley enter Malfoy Manor and find Voldemort sitting at a table with gathered Death Eaters. Snape then informs Voldemort that the Order of the Phoenix is moving Harry Potter from the Dursley home to a secret location the following Saturday, four days before the birthday, at sunset. Snape reports that the information comes, "from the source [they] discussed." This contradicts the information that Yaxley obtained from Dawlish, an Auror, but that is determined to be unreliable; Snape suspects the Ministry has been infiltrated, and is feeding them false information.
- Voldemort: "Well, Yaxley? Will the Ministry have fallen by next Saturday?"
- Yaxley: "My Lord, I have good news on that score. I have -- with difficulty, and after great effort -- succeeded in placing an Imperius Curse upon Pius Thicknesse."
- Voldemort: "It is a start. But Thicknesse is only one man. Scrimgeour must be surrounded by our people before I act. One failed attempt on the Minister's life will set me back a long way."
- Yaxley: "Yes -- my Lord, that is true -- but you know, as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Thicknesse has regular contact not only with the Minister himself, but also with the Heads of all the other Ministry departments. It will, I think, be easy now that we have such a high-ranking official under our control, to subjugate the others, and then they can all work together to bring Scrimgeour down."
- Voldemort: "As long as our friend Thicknesse is not discovered before he has converted the rest. At any rate, it remains unlikely that the Ministry will be mine before next Saturday. If we cannot touch the boy at his destination, then it must be done while he travels."
- — Yaxley relaying his news to Voldemort[src]
Lucius Malfoy's wandEdit
- Voldemort: "As I was saying, I understand better now. I shall need, for instance, to borrow a wand from one of you before I go kill Potter...No volunteers? Let's see...Lucius, I see no reason for you to have a wand anymore."
- Lucius: "My Lord?"
- Voldemort: "Your wand, Lucius. I require your wand."
- — Voldemort taking Lucius Malfoy's wand[src]
After the Priori Incantatem effect happened during the Duel in Little Hangleton Voldemort knew that he would need a different wand to use against Harry as his wand and Harry's shared the same wand core, a Phoenix tail feather from Fawkes. Because of this, Voldemort was unable to fatally harm Harry. He told the gathered Death Eaters that if he was to kill Harry Potter he would have to do it with someone else's wand, and asked if anyone would volunteer their wand for the honour.
No one did, as a wizard rarely would want to part with his or her wand. However, Voldemort eventually decided to take Lucius Malfoy's wand, to further humiliate him after Lucius's failure during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries to retrieve a prophecy Voldemort desired. After that battle, Lucius was arrested and sent to Azkaban, but when he broke out Voldemort punished him by forcing his son kill Albus Dumbledore, but it was eventually done by Snape. As further punishment, Voldemort had Malfoy's house to be their meeting place and told Lucius to hand over his wand. Lucius reluctantly obliged, and the wand was later destroyed during the Battle of the Seven Potters when Harry's wand reguritated some of Voldemort's own magic at him, thus, Lucius's wand was no match for this sort of power.
Decline in Pure-Blood FamiliesEdit
- Voldemort: "I'm talking about your niece, Bellatrix. And yours, Lucius and Narcissa. She just married the werewolf, Remus Lupin. You must be so proud."
- Bellatrix: "She is no niece of ours, my Lord. We -- Narcissa and I -- have never set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood. This brat has nothing to do with either of us, nor any beast she marries."
- Voldemort: "What say you, Draco? Will you babysit the cubs? [...] Many of our oldest family trees become a little diseased over time. You must prune yours, must you not, to keep it healthy? Cut away those parts that threaten the health of the rest."
- Bellatrix: "Yes my Lord. At the first chance!"
- Voldemort: "You shall have it. And in your family, so in the world...we shall cut away the canker that infects us until only those of the true blood remain..."
- — Voldemort discussing blood purity with the Death Eaters[src]
After Lucius is humiliated by Voldemort taking his wand, Voldemort taunts Lucius about how the Malfoy family is unhappy to have him in their home. Though Lucius protests, Voldemort sees through the lies, and Voldemort further asks if the Malfoy's are unhappy despite professing that his return to power was what they desired for so many years.
Lucius denies this, Bellatrix Lestrange boasts that she, unlike her sister, Narcissa, considers there "no higher pleasure" to have him in their house. Despite this show of loyalty, Voldemort proceeds to humiliate and insult her by japeing about her niece having recently married a werewolf, while the gathering Death Eaters laugh jeeringly, while Bellatrix furiously declares that she is no niece of theirs. Voldemort tells Bellatrix to prune her family tree by getting rid of those who disease it, to which Bellatrix readily agrees, and Voldemort tells the gathered Death Eaters about the importance of cutting away "the canker that infects us until only those of true blood remain".
Charity BurbageEdit
- Voldemort: "For those of you who do not know, we are joined here tonight by Charity Burbage who, until recently, taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes...Professor Burbage taught the children of witches and wizards all about Muggles...how they are not so different from us..."
- Burbage: "Severus...please...please..."
- Voldemort: "Silence. Not content with corrupting and polluting the minds of Wizarding children, last week Professor Burbage wrote an impassioned defense of Mudbloods in the Daily Prophet. Wizards, she says, must accept these thieves of their knowledge and magic. The dwindling of the purebloods is, says Professor Burbage, a most desirable circumstance....She would have us all mate with Muggles...or, no doubt, werewolves....Avada Kedavra! Dinner, Nagini."
- — Voldemort speaking before murdering Charity Burbage[src]
Impact of the meetingEdit
The Death Eaters' actions at the meetings give much insight into how Voldemort's ranks are assemeled. Despite Voldemort having gathered key supporters around him, there is little solidarity among them, showing a major difference between Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix. The Death Eaters constantly compete with one another to ascend in the Dark Lord's eyes, and many are affronted that Snape, who is still regarded with suspicion by others, is invited to sit at Voldemort's right hand while the Malfoys now occupy a lower position at the foot of the table; it is obviously galling to them and shows how far and how quickly they have fallen from favour, particularly Lucius Malfoy, whose arrogance and wealth have, until now, shielded his rather weak character. Now the Malfoys must endure this latest humiliation, though they apparently still retain hope to somehow redeem themselves to the Dark Lord.This will likely prove difficult, as Voldemort has shown that he demands absolute loyalty and servitude while offering his followers little in return. It is creating an atmosphere where disharmony can quickly set in, prompting Voldemort's followers to seek their own reward any way they can, even by turning against another. Even his most ardent follower, Bellatrix Lestrange, is taunted by Voldemort, who likely considers her "tainted" for being related to the Malfoys (her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew) and also to the Tonks clan. In the Order, however, the organisation rallies around Harry in a unified goal to protect him and defeat Voldemort; this is far more important than material gains or an individual's status within their group, and it serves to strengthen, rather than divide them.
The murder of Charity Burbage it serves to demonstrate just how bloodthirsty Death Eaters are, which makes murdering a helpless victim logical to the plot. That she is a Hogwarts professor re-enforces that the school is not as sacrosanct as it once seemed, and there is no one better to kill than the Muggle Studies instructor. Despite Professor Burbage teaching Muggle Studies, this is the first time we hear about her despite Hermione taking her class during her third year.
Killing Burbage may also have been a means for Voldemort to test Snape's loyalty by gauging his reaction to it, seeing if he registers any emotion or attempts to intervene in any way, for any reason, to spare Burbage's life. As it happens, Snape was loyal to Dumbledore, and so one can only imagine what he must be thinking and feeling, not only as he witnesses Burbage, a fellow Hogwarts teacher, being so horribly murdered, but also helplessly listening to her desperate pleas for her life.

On this Yom Kippur, let's remember that it's our job to give generously — to Jewish and non-Jewish needs.
A flurry of new surveys about Jewish giving in America is sparking both concern and relief in the Jewish communal world. What they most need to do is spark action.
The latest report, "Connected to Give" (connectedtogive.org) brought together a consortium of foundations and Jewish federations to look at who's giving what to whom. A key finding, not particularly surprising, is that most American Jews give to charitable causes — in 2012, 76 percent did so, in contrast to 63 percent of non-Jews. Among Jews who make charitable contributions, 92 percent give to non-Jewish organizations and 79 percent give to Jewish organizations.
Particularly important is the demographic breakdown, comparing patterns of giving between younger and older Jews. Older Jews give at a somewhat higher rate to Jewish organizations than younger Jews, with 81 percent of Jews over 64 years giving to Jewish organizations. This figure dips to 78 percent among 40- to 64-year-olds, and to 72 percent among Jews under 40.
Yes, the figures show that the younger generation is still giving to Jewish causes. But as another recent report about wealthy younger donors (nextgendonors.org) found: They are giving to religious and faith-based causes, but in contrast to their elders, they are more inclined to want those donations to help the wider world rather than just the Jewish community. And they want to do it all differently.
Giving to non-Jewish causes is a long-held value in the Jewish tradition. But we also have to take care of our own. Never are we more profoundly reminded of our dual obligation than on Yom Kippur.
The prophet Isaiah, whose words we read during the Haftarah, reminds us of the true purpose of the fast: "To unlock the fetters of wickedness /And untie the cords of the yoke /To let the oppressed go free /To break off every yoke. /It is to share your bread with the hungry /To take the wretched poor into your home/ When you see the naked, to clothe him. /And not to ignore your own kin."
What these studies show us is encouraging that even among younger Jews, the majority still care. But we must also pay close attention to one seemingly obvious conclusion of the Connected to Give study: "Engagement with Jewish community is a paramount driver of Jewish charitable giving and even drives giving to non-Jewish organizations."
On this Yom Kippur, let's remember that it's our job to give generously — to Jewish and non-Jewish needs.
And it is the job of our Jewish institutions to help find ways to engage younger Jews in particular so the legacy of Jewish philanthropy — critical to our communal survival — will live on.

MORE than 700 apprenticeships have been created for young people in the county since this year's Grow Somerset Talent scheme began, smashing the previous record of 515 set in 2010.
The 100-day campaign to maximise apprentice recruitment in Somerset is targeted at those between the ages of 16 and 24 and is supported by Somerset County Council, the National Apprenticeship Service and a partnership of colleges and training providers, including Taunton's Richard Huish College, which set up its own business school.
One success story involves apprentice Chris Smith, who joined the team at Andika Accountancy Services in Taunton.
Director Penny Farrar said: "Chris is the second apprentice from the Richard Huish Business School to join our bookkeeping team since we moved to Equity House.
"The standard of the course and the support from the college has made taking on an apprentice a very good option to gain quality qualified staff."
College principal Dr Peter Avery added: "Since launching our business school to reflect the wide range of vocational and professional courses on offer, our commitment to expanding our apprenticeship offer is going from strength to strength.
"Being part of the 'Grow Somerset Talent' initiative has really helped us to focus on matching the skills and career aspirations of young people to the needs and requirements of employers in the local business community.
"However, recruiting new apprentices is only one element of our success. We are exceptionally proud of our reputation as a quality provider of apprenticeship training and this is supported by the success rates and progression of our apprentices once they have achieved their learning goals."
Last year, 84% of the school's apprentices gained full employment after their training.
Others progressed onto higher education, either on Higher Apprenticeship programmes in Business Administration or onto a Foundation Degree.


text: This news item expired on Friday, May 31, 2013 so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. Public health officials from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services are cautioning diabetic patients to protect themselves against the risk of disease transmission from shared insulin pens. This warning comes after the recent report of insulin pens being used on more than one patient at a Salisbury, North Carolina-based veterans hospital as well as two New York hospitals earlier this year. Insulin pens are individual reusable medical devices which diabetic patients can use to administer insulin injections. Insulin pens are designed to be used multiple times, for a single patient only. Because blood can flow back into the insulin reservoir during an injection, there is a risk of a disease transmission if the pen is used for more than one person, even when the needle is changed. "In North Carolina, nearly 1 in 10 adults has diabetes," said State Health Director Laura Gerald, M.D. "It is never safe to share insulin injection devices, even between family members. When supplies are shared between people, blood glucose testing and insulin administration can expose people to bloodborne viruses like hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV. It is important for patients and caregivers to learn how to manage their disease and how to perform injections safely." Dr. Gerald especially urges diabetic individuals or family members of those who live in controlled care environments like hospitals, assisted living or nursing homes to ask if their caregivers are following recommended safety procedures for any injections, whether for diabetes or other procedures. When medical equipment used to penetrate the skin is used by more than one person, there is a risk of transmission of infections, even when the infection is unapparent, undiagnosed or unknown to the affected person. To prevent infections, the N.C. DHHS Division of Public Health urges all health care providers and the public to follow three rules for safe diabetes care: Fingerstick devices should never be used for more than one person Blood glucose meters should be assigned to only one person and not be shared Injection equipment should never be used for more than one person North Carolina, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Safe Injection Practices Coalition (SIPC) and two other states, is promoting needle safety through the One & Only Campaign which advocates safe injection practices in all medical procedures for both healthcare providers and patients.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A Daytona Beach woman was forced to deliver her baby alone in her home with the help of her mother and a Volusia County Sheriff's Office dispatcher.
The Sheriff's Office released the 911 call of the birth on Tuesday. The woman -- identified as Erika Hudson -- delivered the baby on Saturday.
"My daughter's on the phone with me -- she thinks she's having a baby," says April Hudson, the woman's mother, when she is connected with a dispatcher.
During the call, the grandmother struggles to get responses from her daughter, constantly calling out her name and saying, "Stay with me."
"Erika, if you can hear me, they're on their way," April Hudson tells her daughter. "Try to stay calm."
About two and a half minutes into the 911 call, Erika Hudson tells her mother the baby is coming.
"Do you feel something?" the grandmothers asks. "Do you feel the baby's head? That's fine, that's good. If you're this close, the baby's coming and we might as well finish the job."
One minute later, Erika finishes the job.
"You've got the baby in your hands? We've got a baby," Hudson tells the dispatcher.
For the next minute, April Hudson and the dispatcher fear the worst as Erika is not responding.
Finally, when Erika starts talking again, both her mother and the dispatcher confirm if the baby is alive and healthy.
"Is the baby breathing? Is the baby crying?" the grandmother asks.
"You've got it! You did it! You've done it!" her mother exclaims. "Hang tight. The ambulance is there -- I hear them."
Erika Hudson and her new son, Logan, were taken to Halifax Heath Medical Center, where both were listed as healthy.

Wonder if anyone else has this type of experience:
There are a few things that keep on happening in my everyday life that are kind of funny (in a way) and hard to explain. Each event taken on its own is perfectly normal, but the strange thing is, it keeps on happening over and over, for years, to a point where now it's starting to make me laugh. My wife is equally befuddled, so I have some confirmation that this isn't just all in my mind.
One thing is: When I fuel my car, very often the gas pump receipt printer is not working, so I get a message that says: "See attendant for receipt." Then, if I want a receipt, I have to go inside the station. My wife says this has NEVER happened to her when she gets gas. Her pump always prints a receipt. Now when I pump the gas she's with me, she's come to expect that the receipt printer will not be working. Weird.
The funny thing is, she never keeps her receipt, but I always used to keep my receipt. At first, I'd go inside each time to get one from the attendant. Now I don't even bother.
There are a few other little things like that, too, that keep on happening again and again. Things that don't seem to happen to other people with any kind of regularity. They seem to be some kind of idiosyncracy in my life.
Anyone else have this type of experience? Thoughts? Kamma? Coincidence? Something else?
