E.L.F. Plumping Lip Glaze Reviews
Tingly Minty Lip GlossI had this lip-gloss in the fire coral shade. There used to be fewer options, but now there looks like there are eleven shades available to choose from. The clear side of the lip glaze really makes my lips feel a little tingly for a while and a little fuller for a few hours before the effect wears off. The fire coral shade is a light shade that provides the perfect amount of gloss. My senses reall...read morey do awaken when using this product. Since it's lays on a minty scent, I'm always tempted to taste it but it does not taste good so try not to lick your lips despite how tempting it may be. For a dollar, this product is worth a try. I think the tingly feeling would probably be hit with some and a miss with others. Overall, I believe it's a good innovative product and was worth the buy. — 5 years, 9 months agoMissXu | 102 reviews

very nice, especially for 1$!I can't say it does a lot of plumping (it's really hard to tell on my lips, since they're not thin). When you apply the plumping primer, you can definitely feel some tingling going on, it smells minty, a bit like cough syrup, but that goes away pretty fast. The color part doesn't smell at all, and is actually slightly sweet (and tasty!). All together it feels amazing on lips- very moist, gives nic...read moree color and glaze. I have one in babydoll and one in ruby kiss, and both look gorgeous and expensive. Beautiful colors! It stays on relatively long, and is not sticky at all. The package is nice and sturdy, doesn't feel cheap. Will definitely buy again and again! — 5 years, 4 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews
Not so much PlumpingAs a gloss, this works great, but, I haven't noticed any plumping to my (well, already rather plump) lips. It does give a tingling sensation that is stronger on the clear gloss side, and less on the color side, which also works as a light lip stain. The stickiness and smell is all a matter of opinion, however, even for a buck, this gloss gets used up quickly, because it only looks like there's more product in the packaging than there actually is! — 7 years, 3 months agotheycallmerainbow | 106 reviews
taste bad, smells worseit does plump your lips a bit, and the colors are pretty, but it tastes SO BAD, and smells LIKE MOTH BALLS. not something i want my husband to associate with my lips. i do not reccomend this, even for a dollar its like a punishment to have to endure this being on your mouth. — 9 years, 5 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews

Not so plumpI had to try this after reading reviews. I was curious to see if this really did plump my lips or was just a cinnamon-y gloss. A bit of a bummer, this fell (for me) into the latter category. The color end was wonderful, no complaints about that. The plumper just fell flat. Not even a lip tingle. I ended up putting it on over the lipstick for a gloss and it worked in the capacity. If you are...read more expecting beautiful bee stung lips, you might be disappointed, but then again, this is just a dollar.

Works like a charm!It is a natural color finish almost not there. It is living up to its claims of plumping lips, because my lips grew one size larger after one use of the product. It is extremely small enough so it is portable packaging and great for girls on the go, such as me to carry along in my purse on outings. — 9 years, 1 month agojeni27 | 186 reviews

Plumping? Not so muchThe only thing this gloss did was sting my lips. They didn't look any fuller. The colored side by itself is ok, but the I think the other side of the gloss is supposed to make your lips look fuller (which it doesn't). The smell and the taste are both horrible...I don't think I would wear this a lot, especially if I was kissing someone. — 7 years, 2 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews
Best of their lip line -yet not impressedI only used up both ends in a week! talk about small product!!! i understand that it is only one dollar, but lets think about what all of this packaging is doing to our ecosystem! I really dont wan to throw away a whole tube every week, when a doubled size could make a big difference. — 6 years, 2 months agoMrsBrunetteBeauty | 89 reviews

Clinical Exposures: A retained testis and spermatic cord torsion in a boxer
Nov 01, 2007
A 13-month-old intact male boxer weighing 57.2 lb (26 kg) was presented to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Companion Animal Clinic for evaluation of a one-day history of vomiting. The dog's vaccination status was current.
On physical examination, the dog was bright, alert, and in good body condition. The dog exhibited signs of pain on abdominal palpation, and a firm mass was detected in the caudal abdomen. The scrotum contained only one testis, which was small. Thoracic auscultation revealed a sinus rhythm and a grade III/VI murmur heard best over the pulmonic valve area. The results of a complete blood count, serum chemistry profile, and urinalysis were within reference ranges.
Based on clinical and diagnostic imaging findings, we tentatively diagnosed intestinal obstruction or intra-abdominal spermatic cord torsion. Thoracic radiographic and echocardiographic examinations were done to further evaluate the murmur and revealed no abnormalities. A physiologic murmur with no clinical significance was diagnosed.
Surgical exploration of the abdomen was performed on the same day as admission to confirm the diagnosis. The patient received isoflurane anesthesia, and a ventral midline celiotomy was performed.
The left testis, measuring 3 x 1.5 cm, was also removed by using a standard midline skin incision cranial to the scrotum.
The dog recovered well and was discharged from the hospital two days after surgery. Two years after surgery, the dog was reported to be in good health.

Hello Dhamma siblings!
I am taking my next steps on an indefinite adventure to be fully enlightened.
1. Arrive in Bangkok on 11/27 very early in the morning;
2. Get my meditation visa in BKK (hopefully, they will grant me same-day or next-day visa);
3. Stay at Suan Mokkh (http://www.suanmokkh-idh.org/) or one of these centers: http://www.vimokkha.com/medcenters.htm, depending on whatever happens.
4. Arrive in Yangon on 12/13.
5. Ordain temporarily and practice intensively indefinitely at Panditarama Forest Monastery (until the mind goes crazy and then some more).
6. Who knows?
Does anybody have any experience at any of the above centers in Thailand? Are there other places open to foreign yogis' dropping in somewhat near BKK?
Could I have advice on an affordable places to stay somewhat close to the Burmese Embassy is Bangkok while I finalize my visa? Any other random pieces of advice while staying in BKK?
Any life advice in general? I'm realizing I understand so little about how to live as a human being and how to take care of the body. I'm 25, have been on a few longer retreats, and am feeling like a brand new baby stepping into the completely unknown now. For the last 3.5 years, I've been on quite the up-and-down journey of clearing most attachment to worldly responsibilities as possible. My sister has power of attorney so she can sell the car, which is in my name, and finalize tax returns for this year.
This is the first time in my life, I feel like I can focus on intensive practice and have nothing completely necessary to do for the next year or so. There are feelings of excitement, fear, resistance, hope all bubbling up, sometimes at the same time. The "self" knows it is about to see and feel and experience a mixture of deeply suppressed rage, transformation, joy, peace, discontent, existential crises, love, fear, etc. Just some random observations I haven't spoke to many (any?) people about or put into writing.
Thank you everybody for everything.

text: BOE disputes Marple firing lawsuit claims By Mackenzie Mays November 30, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The West Virginia Board of Education is disputing claims that it violated state open-government laws by firing Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple.A lawsuit filed by Mountain State Justice Inc. -- a public interest group -- alleges that the process used to fire Marple on Nov. 15 was illegal because plans for her termination were not listed on the meeting's agenda. The group filed the lawsuit on behalf of parents James and Michelle Hicks of Foster.The lawsuit alleges that the state board has a history of violating the principles of open government and asks the West Virginia Supreme Court to declare the board's decision invalid and block its members from hiring a new superintendent.An amendment was added to the lawsuit Friday afternoon and alleges illegitimate reasons for Marple's firing -- pointing to her refusal to support no-bid contracts tied to certain board members.In its response to the lawsuit, filed Friday evening, the Board of Education claims that its actions did not break the law because, while Marple was not specifically named on the agenda, "personnel matters" was listed. It is a longstanding process of the board to discuss "sensitive issues" in private when dealing with personnel matters, the response states.The wording in the agenda did not include any language that would limit the board to only discuss the two employees who specifically were mentioned in "personnel matters," according to the response to the lawsuit."Rather, a reasonable reading of this agenda item would allow for the board, while in executive session, to discuss any personnel matters that need to be deliberated," the board says in its response.The board voted 5-2 to fire Marple at the Nov. 15 meeting. Board members spent more than an hour in closed session and then reappeared with the announcement of an addition to personnel matters. President Wade Linger then passed a piece of paper around to fellow board members, asking them to vote on the matter. The lone sentence on the paper asked them to vote to terminate Marple and that it take effect immediately.The state open-meetings law prohibits public bodies from taking action on matters not posted in their published meeting agenda and prohibits amending agendas within two business days of the scheduled meeting, except in emergencies. Emergencies are defined under the law as an "unexpected situation or sudden occurrence of a serious nature, such as an event that threatens public health and safety."However, a 2005 advisory opinion that the state Ethics Commission issued concerning the Open Governmental Meetings Act provides guidance of how to cure a violation of the act. The commission's opinion states that a violation of the law that was not knowingly and willfully committed can be rectified. To do so, the governing body must take "reasonable remedial measures" that go above and beyond ceremonial or superficial ratification of their previous official action.On Thursday, a Board of Education meeting was held to revisit Marple's firing. The board again voted to fire Marple, this time in a vote of 6-2, with the addition of board member Lloyd Jackson. He was not present at the Nov. 15 meeting.Linger and Jackson joined Gayle Manchin, William White, Robert Dunlevy and Michael Green in voting to fire Marple. Priscilla Haden and Jenny Phillips again voted against the motion. The Board of Education allowed three business days' notice of the new meeting, posted a description of the matters to be reconsidered on its website and opened the meeting to the public. Nearly 20 people signed up to address the board with their concerns.All the procedures taken by the board at Thursday's meeting align with the Ethics Commission's guidelines for public entities that need to undo a prior Open Meetings Act violation, the board said in its response. However, the amended lawsuit filed Friday alleges that Thursday's actions were not adequate because the board's alleged violation of the law was, in fact, done knowingly and willfully. The lawsuit claims that Linger disregarded advice from legal counsel about the legality of the termination before Marple was fired Nov. 15."The meeting was simply an attempt by the board to cleanse its plainly illegal act taken on Nov. 15," the lawsuit alleges. "However, the new meeting was nothing more than a ceremonial and perfunctory ratification of the previous illegal termination."The board insists it did not break the law because no vote was taken in closed session, and said it worked directly with the Ethics Commission to craft the language of the new meeting agenda. The state board also compensated Marple from Nov. 15 through Thursday, just in case.In its response, the board also cites McComas v. Board of Education of Fayette County. In McComas, the court ruled that a decision made following an improper meeting can be upheld if the public body corrected the prior violation.In the amendment to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs said that even if the court found that the Ethics Commission's advisory opinion applied, it's still clear that the board's "remedial measures were nothing more than ceremonial and perfunctory."On Thursday's meeting agenda, "Oath of Office" also was listed, suggesting a new superintendent would be sworn in that day. "It is obvious to all who attended the meeting on Nov. 29 that the decision to terminate the superintendent had already been made," the plaintiffs said. "By placing items on the agenda that necessarily presupposed the termination of the superintendent, the remedial measures of the board amounted to nothing more than a dog and pony show intended to ceremonially ratify its violation."In response to the lawsuit's accusations that the board's actions were premeditated, the board reaffirmed that Marple was serving at its will and pleasure and that it had a legal right to fire her."Petitioners are confusing the constitutional and statutory duty of the board to instate a superintendent of schools with a 'predetermination' to replace the former superintendent," the response says.The amendment to the lawsuit maintains the lawsuit's initial request that the justices declare the termination invalid and stop the board from naming a replacement.In turn, the Board of Education requests that the court declare Marple's termination valid and allow it to name a permanent replacement.Reach Mackenzie Mays at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-4814.

A RESIDENT'S campaign to return a street back to its historic name will move a big step closer to success tonight.
Councillors on Blackburn with Darwen borough planning and highways committee are set to start the process of changing the signs on 'Eugene Van As Drive' back to 'Star Drive'.
Officer have recommended the move after the council received a 72 signature petition gathered by Stephen Smith of nearby Moorland Avenue.
He said local people were baffled by the change to 'Eugene Van As Drive' in 2003 replacing the original name that honoured one of the town's most famous paper mills.
The private road stretches down to the site of the former Star Paper Mill in Feniscowles, which was taken over by South African firm Sappi Fine Papers in 1990.
In 2003, the firm renamed the road in honour of chief executive of the company, who headed the firm for 12 years until 2003 and whose wife Gillian was brought up in Blackburn.
Sappi closed the site in 2008.
When he launched the petition in September, Mr Smith said: "It's just left myself and lots of people I have talked to baffled and it just seems silly to keep calling it that when Sappi don't even operate here anymore.
"I want to see the name Star Drive re-instated because it means a lot more to the Blackburn people."
There are no registered addresses on the road and the officers want to start the consultation process for the reversion of the name which required a petition of at least 50 signatures.
Livesey and Pleasington councillor Alan Cottam, whose ward includes Feniscowles, said: "I will support this change.
"It is a historic name dating from when we had Star Mill, Sun Mill, Moon Mill and Eclipse Mill all side by side."
His Tory ward councillor colleague John Pearson said: "I think this is the right thing to do.
"Everybody knows the road as Star Drive and remembers the mill as Star Mill.
"I am sure the consultation process will back the change. It makes sense."
Council regeneration boss Maureen Bateson supports the move provided it is backed by local residents during the consultations.

I've been working on accuracy and consistency for several months (intermittently for a few years), and in the practice field, have felt much better about most parts of my game. I'm not going for huge distance, but just good consistency under 400'. Lately especially, my drive accuracy in the field with midranges, putters, and drivers has been really good.
However, in tournament play (7 rounds this year) I have been VERY unpredictable. I consider myself a 930ish golfer, with potential to be 950 or so. Out of 7 rounds, I've had 6 be less than 910. Putting has been typically great in tourneys, so practice in that area has definitely paid off. Driving, on the other hand, is all over the map. The biggest problem seems to be in the release point, and I'm getting a lot of slipped drives and bad aimed upshots. In the field I feel really good about my release point, but it's not translating into tourney play.
Any pointers for getting over that particular mental hurdle? Or is more practice the cure, giving myself a long time to have my "updated" technique become more the norm?

Who are Peer Mentors?
You! Your friends, dorm mates, classmates and peers! Anyone and everyone in the University Honors Program is eligible to be a Peer Mentor and anyone and everyone can have a Peer Mentor -- or two! Don't miss out on this amazing resource!
What do Peer Mentors do?
Peer Mentors play an important role in the Honors Program by sharing their experiences and helping students of all ages and majors make decisions throughout their undergraduate careers. As an Honors Peer Mentor, you'll be contacted by prospective and current Honors students who have questions about the University experience as well as your experiences in the Honors Program. Students will have access to your expertise and personal advice for a wide variety of subjects including, but not limited to: choosing a major, minoring, double-majoring, suggestions for good classes, study abroad experiences, how to apply for scholarships/internships/jobs, etc.
As a Peer Mentor, you will not need prior advising or mentoring experience, just experience as an Honors student at the UW. The point of the program is to offer your perspective as a student to someone who will soon be in the same position, or is considering their options, or who already feels confident in their educational goals and just wants some friendly advice. Peer Mentoring can be a small commitment or a much larger one depending on your involvement and the number of students who choose to seek you out.
What's Expected?
Peer Mentors' short bios and contact information will be posted on the Honors website. All students will have access to this page and will contact you with any questions they have. If a student contacts you, we expect you to respond in a timely manner. Peer Mentoring is an excellent way for students to connect and communicate with each other and to build a strong community of well-informed students!
Typical topics of discussion include classes, registration, faculty, time management, Honors courses, majors, and things to see and do around campus. Much of this contact may occur over email or phone, but some Peer Mentors also choose to meet their mentees in person for coffee or an informal tour of campus.
We'll provide you with a list of FAQs and responses, and the Honors staff is always available to help you answer those tough questions, but we expect you to commit to providing your perspective and guidance. If you feel overwhelmed by the number of students contacting you or the questions you're receiving, you can opt out of mentoring at any time by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll remove your contact information from the website.
Where do I sign up?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Honors Peer Mentoring coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Tale of Two Castles
Spend a night in one of these great American monuments to bygone wealth and opulence
During the Gilded Age, the time of the great robber barons and before the 1929 stock market crash, newly minted moguls built palaces as a celebration of their titanic achievements in business and finance. Many such palaces were abandoned following the Great Depression, with some eventually razed, but two spectacular specimens in New York—Oheka Castle on Long Island and the Castle Hotel and Spa in Tarrytown—survive to this day as luxury hotels. With the castles' close proximity to New York City, they make for a fascinating weekend getaway for work-weary locals as well as a history-rich side trip for Big Apple tourists.
In 1914, when financier Otto Hermann Kahn set about building his home on the Gold Coast of Long Island, he wanted to live on the island's highest point. So Kahn had mounds of earth hauled up to his Cold Spring Harbor compound, thereby artificially creating the apex of Long Island and making a kind of Mount Olympus for his majestic 109,000-square-foot summer home, which he named Oheka (a conjunction of his name). At the time, the second largest private residence in the United States (Kahn lost out to the Vanderbilts' Biltmore Estate in North Carolina on that one), Oheka boasted 127 rooms for entertaining foreign royalty, heads of state and stars of the silver screen….

The NEO (New Energies Optimized) fan-assisted radiator is Runtal's latest hydronic heating innovation. The NEO combines a traditional flat-panel hydronic radiator, a small electric heating element, and several 24V fans to produce one of the most effective radiators on the market. The additional heating element and multi-speed fans give the NEO 8-1000 a much higher output than it's compact size would typically allow. these components also mean that a NEO radiator can be used in an assortment of applications where traditional hydronic or electric radiators would not work. If you're looking for a hydronic heating solution that is easy to scale to nealy any space in a variety of climates, the NEO fits the bill.
Product Features
Flexible Output
With four fan speeds and a wide range of acceptable water temperatures, the NEO 8-1000 can provide anywhere between 945 BTU and 8,479 BTU and your space, making it easy to stay comfortable through shifting conditions.
Dual Heat
The NEO utilizes two separate methods of heat transfer to keep you comfortable. The more powerful hydronic heating radiates outward from the unit while the electric heating element provides convective heating that actually increases the temperature of the air flowing past it. The end result is a comfort that is difficult to match with a single heat source.
Air Filtration
Fans aren't the only component that Runtal added to the NEO, they also included a washable filter that captures particulates and irritants in your home's air. This means that when the fans are active, the NEO isn't just making your space more comfortable, but is also actively cleaning the air.
Exceptional Efficiency
Energy waste is a drain on your wallet that can be avoided with Runtal. Between the flat tube hydronic heat exchanger and the welded-steel construction, Runtal developed a radiator design that transfers the most possible heat into your space.
Product Includes
- (1) Runtal NEO 8-1000 Hydronic Fan Assisted Radiator
- (1) 24V Transformer Plug

He believes he will be playing a significant role in that success.
Kelly spoke about his interaction with the Philadelphia Eagles, in which he interviewed earlier this month for the head coaching job with the NFL club, and he believes what he learned through the process is that he isn't interested in coaching at that level.
"The discussion was more about intrigue on my part," Kelly said. "I had obviously always been in the college game. Really did not have a good grasp of the NFL setup. So for me, my head said let's be more informed as it relates to the NFL."
After the Irish lost 42-14 to Alabama in the 2013 BCS National Championship game in Miami, Kelly was in Nashville, Tenn., the next day accepting the American Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year Award, and met with Philadelphia owner Jeff Lurie and his leadership team. Kelly said he did so to get a feel for how the logistics of overseeing a team actually are organized as much as anything.
"I just didn't know anything about it, really," Kelly said. "Again, as I said, college is all that I've been involved in. I really didn't understand the NFL process, the game, who is involved in the day to day operations of selecting the team, all of those things."After the interview, Kelly and his wife left the country on a short vacation, and that is the one mistake that the coach acknowledged making. As the Kellys relaxed, Irish fans spent several days wondering about the future of their favorite program.
"If there was anything that I would have done differently," Kelly explained, "it would have been to close that timeline relative to my interview and coming out with a statement.
"I was on vacation with my wife, we were away, we weren't watching TV, but I should have been more sensitive to the fact that there was a time period going on and released a statement much sooner."
Kelly said he has gotten enough of a feel for the NFL after this experience that he doesn't believe it is for him, and that is the message he has delivered to recruits leading up to the Feb. 6 national signing day.
"My heart is in college football and with Notre Dame," Kelly said. "So I think the recruits, I tell them up front that I'm committed to Notre Dame, flattered that the NFL would want me to be one of their coaches, but it's just not what I want to do. I want to be a college football coach."The Eagles reached out to Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick shortly after firing 14-year coach Andy Reid on Dec. 31. Kelly said he really wasn't involved in any discussions with the NFL franchise at that juncture.
"There was contact, I believe, and I don't have the specifics, I believe it was the very same day (Dec. 31) or next day after there was a change in the coaching staff there," Kelly said. "Protocol in the NFL is to reach out to the athletic director. They reached out to Jack. Jack called me. We agreed that we would not have any contact with the Eagles, if, in fact, we did. And that wasn't certain until after the game."
From that point, Kelly's agent took over and set up an interview with the Eagles for the day after the BCS national championship game. However, leading up to the game (Jan. 7), Kelly said he didn't give the Eagles any thought.
"I wasn't even certain I was going to interview," Kelly said. "It wasn't even on my radar. So there was never any consideration. It wasn't an option. I think I even said that it wasn't an option for me because I wasn't even thinking about it and hadn't decided that that was the direction I was going to go."One of the several reasons that Kelly expressed confidence in his decision to return to Notre Dame was the prospects for 2013.
The Fighting Irish have a large portion of their contributing players – on both sides of the ball – returning from a 12-1 squad, as well as one of the nation's most heralded recruiting classes ready to sign next week.
"We're going to win again next year," Kelly said. "There are probably going to be teams that have an interest in coaching in the NFL, and I want to be able to tell them definitively that I want to coach in college. I love Notre Dame. I love the college game, but I think the intrigue was more just finding out about it, so it's now easy for me to say no."

UNDP and The Global Fund act to safeguard programmes in the Democratic Republic of the CongoJun 14, 2011
Kinshasa — Following alleged irregularities in the management of grants to the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Global Fund and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have together temporarily stopped disbursements and payments to sub-recipients of these grants and put in place a number of interim measures to safeguard Global Fund resources.
UNDP's Office of Audit and Investigation (OAI) is currently conducting investigations into these alleged irregularities in the Global Fund grants administered by UNDP in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The irregularities were detected during an internal UNDP financial review.
On receipt of these allegations, OAI alerted the Global Fund's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and has since provided further updates about the preliminary findings. UNDP and the Global Fund are working closely together to address the challenges faced in Democratic Republic of Congo and mitigate any risk.
UNDP and The Global Fund have also informed other international donors about the issues.
The investigation of these allegations has not yet been completed. However, preliminary indications have found evidence of irregularities involving several implementing partners (Sub-Recipients and Sub-sub-recipients). The OAI has therefore deployed a team of investigators to conduct further investigations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In response to these alleged irregularities, UNDP has also taken a series of strong measures to further intensify day-to-day oversight, supervision and internal controls.
The Global Fund has also agreed with two other Principal Recipients, Eglise du Christ au Congo and Cordaid , to temporarily stop disbursements and payments in DRC as they are looking into separate reports of irregularities by Sub-Recipients in these grants.
The temporary hold on disbursement and payments is a precautionary measure while awaiting more information about the nature and scale of the issues reported. Disbursements for life-saving drugs and services will not be interrupted.
Temporary withholding of disbursements are standard measures taken as part of the Global Fund's normal grant management. Further measures may be put in place if the situation warrants it at a later stage.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is an international financing institution that invests the world's money to save lives. To date, it has committed US$ 21.7 billion in 150 countries to support large-scale prevention, treatment and care programs against the three diseases. Information on the work of the Global Fund is available at www.theglobalfund.org
UNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 176 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. Please visit: www.undp.org. Follow us on twitter and facebook.

Fourteen days ago the ESCO (Energy Services Company) which I am a partner of received some news. We were told we had to produce twice as much kWh Savings as the previous month in half the time. Thirteen of the fourteen days are over and I am pleased to report we pulled it off. These have been long days. Out of the house by 7:00AM. Home around 8:00PM and then a lot of computer work before sleep. The door to my studio has been closed for two weeks. I always crave making music. After a while not producing it feels like I've stopped seeing colors. I need to push a key and turn a button. I want to hear a deep Moog bass layered with bright Eventide reverb. I know most of my music making friends feel the same way. Tomorrow I have my meeting and we can show our worked hard for results. This coming weekend the sound and colors will be screaming!
"Color blindness or color vision deficiency is the inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under lighting conditions when color vision is not normally impaired. "Color blind" is a term of art; there is no actual blindness but there is a fault in the development of either or both sets of retinal cones that perceive color in light and transmit that information to the optic nerve." – Wikipedia

Continued overcrowding and access problems at key Asia Pacific airports such as Hong Kong International mean that Subic Bay in the Philippines is well placed to serve as a business aviation hub for the region, according to Aviation Concepts, which last year opened an FBO there. The Guam-based company has seen growth in its aircraft charter, sales and management operations from Subic Bay, but president and CEO Terry Habeck also wants to attract other operators to use the FBO as a convenient and cost-effective staging post for trips into the region.
The former military air base at Subic Bay is about 80 minutes' flying time from Hong Kong, where growing airline traffic means that slots and parking space for business aircraft are very constrained. According to Habeck, it can take up to five days to get permission to land in Hong Kong and then operators face large bills for landing, handling and parking fees. Landing approvals for Subic Bay can be secured in just a few hours and costs are a fraction of those at the region's larger airports. Technical stops there can be completed in just 45 minutes.
Aviation Concepts has just over 161,000 sq ft (15,000 sq m) of hangar and office space at Subic Bay, with plenty of scope to expand its existing handling and line maintenance service. Another advantage of the location is that the airport is a Freeport, making it easy to import aircraft, parts and fuel without being subject to costly and time-consuming importation process.
According to Habeck's estimates, an aircraft that would incur total fees of $6,000 at Hong Kong would pay only around $600 at Subic Bay. As of press time, the cost of Jet-A fuel was approximately $1.50 per gallon less at Subic Bay than at Hong Kong. Hangar space is available at Subic Bay for around $5,000 per month. Habeck claimed that aircraft parked outside in Hong Kong can be damaged by corrosive chemicals emitted into the atmosphere by nearby factories.
One potential driver of rising itinerant business aircraft traffic at Subic Bay is the growing numbers of super-yachts docking at the nearby marina. By comparison, Hong Kong also is becoming congested in terms of maritime traffic.
Meanwhile, U.S.-owned Aviation Concepts is continuing to expand both the cabin size and range of its charter fleet and has announced plans to add a Bombardier Global 6000 and a Boeing Business Jet in September 2012. The operation is approved to both IS-BAO and Argus Platinum safety standards. Here at the ABACE show in Shanghai, the company is displaying a Challenger 605 aircraft in front of the Bombardier chalet. The company already operates two other Global Express family models and a Gulfstream G550.
Aviation Concepts, which entered the Asia Pacific market back in 2001, also has just opened a new sales and marketing office in Hong Kong. Habeck said this will allow the company to service growing numbers of Chinese owners looking for a more convenient way to manage their aircraft. In many cases, this means registering and basing them outside mainland China, where the tax and importation rules can still be prohibitively costly and cumbersome.
Habeck said that Aviation Concepts' charter operations in the Asia Pacific region have been boosted since it opened the base at Subic Bay. In part, this is because its empty-leg operating costs are considerably lower when flying out of the Philippines than from the main base on the Pacific island of Guam. In recent months, the company has seen a 25-percent increase in demand for charter in the Japanese market.

When air courier giant FedEx left its Subic Bay Asia-Pacific hub at the close of the last decade, we at the Subic Bay International Airport felt our backs heavily pressed against the wall. As anticipated, revenues nosedived and a cloud of gloominess rustled in the air. We thought it's just a matter of time before we bid adieu to an air facility that played pivotal roles in world history. Until Aviation Concept, Inc. broke ground a little over a year ago that SBIA felt a renewed sense of hope as it tallies with the niche concept that SBIA had thought about and pondered through. With this positive development it may not be wishful thinking to say that SBIA is poised for a new breathtaking takeoff.

Ted, thanks for the comment. It's good to know Subic Bay airport is poised for increasing activity. There have been so many airports shutting down for so many years and so few new ones being built that it is always good news when any airport makes a comeback.

Civil rights questions raised in phone seizure
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) The seizure of cell phone video of the incident when a man died in sheriff deputies' custody is raising legal questions. Some attorneys argue a number of civil rights were violated when officers insisted that witnesses turn over the phones.
David Silva, 33, died early May 8 after a confrontation with seven officers from the Kern County Sheriff's Department and two California Highway Patrol officers. Witnesses said they saw a number of baton strikes by officers, and two family members got cell phone video.
Within a few hours, the witnesses say officers were at their home. "When they went out to the house of this family and demand the cell phones, they were absolutely wrong," attorney Daniel Rodriguez said. He's representing the man and woman who had the phones.
Rodriguez says the witnesses' right to freedom of speech was violated. "We wouldn't be in this predicament if this had been allowed to be posted on YouTube or Facebook," the attorney said. "It's her private property, she could do whatever she wants with it." He said officers ordered the family not to post the videos to the Internet.
"Technically, maybe they could tell them not to because they were saying that's evidence of a crime that somehow I'm going to seize," defense attorney Kyle Humphrey said. "But, I've looked at the law, and I can't see any basis in which the police could make that a lawful order."
Humphrey is not a part of this case, but worries it raises a series of questions over civil rights. "Freedom of expression, your property rights in what you filmed or saw, you have privacy rights in being left alone," Humphrey lists. He also questions whether protections against illegal search and seizure were violated.
The witnesses have told Eyewitness News the officers stayed at their home for hours waiting for a search warrant to allow seizure of the phones. The family said they weren't allowed to come or go.
Attorneys question whether the officers could "freeze the scene" like that. "This was not the crime scene, the crime scene was over at the hospital," Rodriguez asserts.
Last week, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said the seizure of the phones may lead to judicial review. "The courts ultimately will make that decision whether we did something right, wrong or indifferent from a legal standpoint," he predicted.
Youngblood announced last week the video is being analyzed by the FBI, and that agency is also doing a "parallel investigation" into the officers' behavior. The sheriff said it's not known yet what caused Silva's death, the results of toxicology tests still need to come in. He called this a "lengthy' investigation.
The sheriff's department has reported a deputy responded late May 7 to an area across from Kern Medical Center on reports of a possibly intoxicated man. They say Silva resisted that officer, and others were called out for what resulted in an eight-minute confrontation. Silva was later pronounced dead at Kern Medical Center.
On Tuesday, KMC Chief Executive Officer Paul Hensler told Eyewitness News the hospital has video that night of Silva inside the hospital, but nothing that shows the area of the confrontation. Hensler said KMC records show Silva at the emergency room at 10:20 p.m. asking for directions to the mental health department.
Silva was later "third in line" at the mental health department, but he "wandered off," according to Hensler. The CEO said usually a staffer will check whether someone represents an emergency, if not -- they're asked to wait. Hensler said a KMC security guard later reported seeing Silva sleeping on the grass at the hospital, he was then escorted across the parking lot.
It was a KMC security guard who later saw Silva sleeping on the sidewalk across the street, and then asked a deputy to check on Silva's welfare. That officer was sent out just before midnight, according to the sheriff's department.
That's about when the witnesses say they happened to be leaving KMC, and spotted the incident.
Their cell phones were seized the morning of May 8, and returned to the family late last week. Authorities said only one phone actually had video on it. Technicians for police and the FBI have said they don't know how or why the second phone has no video, as the witnesses reported it did.
The video released by Rodriguez on Tuesday shows no baton strikes by the officers. The attorney says that video was taken after the officers used their batons. Rodriguez said he believes the earlier part of the confrontation was captured on the other phone. That's the video that's now missing.
Rodriguez says the officers had no right to take the cell phones and the video. "There is a right way to gather evidence and there is a wrong way to gather evidence," he said. "When they went out to the house of this family and demanded the cell phones -- they were absolutely wrong."
The attorney says they'll file a lawsuit with the goal of holding authorities accountable.
"We're considering filing and asking for the court to put an injunction in place that will require the sheriff's department to train and educate the deputies on what they can do and can not do when it comes to seizing videos taken on a cell phone," Rodriguez said.
Humphrey sees that possible civil action also in larger terms, saying it's important to put issues in front of a jury so they can address the impacts on society.
Humphrey also thinks the courts and legislature need to address how officers must handle the current widespread use of cell phones. The attorney says so many people use cell phones in so many ways, and this raises privacy issues. "We really need the legislature to step in and recognize that," Humphrey said. "Then we can have a very clear, distinct, bright line of what the police can and can't do, and what the citizen can -- and can expect."

Eckstein leaving for new opportunity at Kentucky
ARLINGTON -- Rick Eckstein was enjoying his role as the Angels' player-information coach, and he wanted to see the season through. But in his mind, the opportunity to be the head assistant coach at the University of Kentucky was too good to pass up.
"Those guys were fantastic to me, and that's the hard part, because college and pro, they don't run on the same time schedule," Eckstein said in a phone conversation. "When this was going down, I struggled with that, but at the end of the day, I have to take care of my family. Talking with Jerry [Dipoto, the general manager], he felt like from a commitment standpoint moving forward, there really wasn't much he could say to commit to me. But that didn't make my decision; my decision was made because of the way I want to take my career."
Eckstein, brother of former Angels shortstop David Eckstein, was hired by the Angels to a new, hybrid coaching role in November, one that would see him aggregate and relay statistical information to the coaching staff pregame and then spend the in-game portion as somewhat of an advanced scout.
A couple weeks ago, though, Eckstein was contacted by Kentucky Wildcats head coach Gary Henderson, who coached him at the University of Florida in the mid-1990s, and Dipoto gave him his good graces. Eckstein, who will run the defense and hitting, wants to be a head baseball coach at the collegiate level and saw the move as a stepping stone.
Former first baseman Rico Brogna, hired over the offseason as a special assistant to Dipoto, will assume Eckstein's role the rest of the season.
"You want to see this through," said Eckstein, the Nationals' hitting coach for five years before joining the Angels. "I mean, we're the second-winningest team in baseball, we're on pace to do some really special stuff. But I'm there in spirit. I told each one of them that. I'm there in spirit, moving forward. I'll be watching."

The ignition coil inside the distributor may fail. Our technicians tell us this may result in a hesitation on acceleration, especially when the vehicle is warming up on cold, rainy days. The pickup coils inside the distributor can also fail and cause a no-start condition. There have also been some failures of the radio noise suppressors inside the distributors, which can short out. Our technicians recommend replacing the whole distributor with a complete, genuine Toyota distributor if any of its components fail.

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients will be screened at the initial visit to the burn center. If the patients are eligible according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, consent for the study will be obtained. One of the investigators will identify two sites that appear to be the same depth on each patient [1 site Polymen and 1 site bacitracin/xeroform )]. The depth of injury will be verified as partial thickness using laser doppler. Each site will be at least 4cm x 4cm in size. One site will be identified for bacitracin/xeroform and one site for Polymen. All burns will be initially debrided and cleaned according to burn unit protocol. The dressing will then be applied. All dressings will be covered with cotton gauze and ace wraps. Laser Doppler will be utilized to determine burn depth at both the trial and control sites. On each subsequent visit, patients will rate the pain of the dressing change on a 1-10 pain intensity scale. It will be noted if the wound appears infected or if antibiotics are prescribed.
The study will end for each patient when the investigator determines that 95% of their burn has re-epithelized.

Detailed Description:
Superficial second degree burns are limited to the epidermis and superficial layer of the dermis and are expected to heal without the need of surgery if they are treated appropriately. Complications such as desiccation of the wound or infection may extend the depth of the injury and result in an increase in scarring or the requirement for excision of the burn and skin grafting. The MetroHealth Burn Center treats over 1500 patients a year for superficial second degree burns.
Various methods are used from the conventional dressing methods using guaze to the methods that use biological materials such as skin from cadavers, pig's skin and artificial synthetic materials. Our present burn care involves initial superficial outpatient debridement of the burn wound and application of a dressing. This dressing consists of bacitracin applied to the burn wound and xeroform covered by cotton gauze and ace-wrap. The majority of our patients are unable to change this dressing by themselves and they either return to the burn center daily for wound care or we arrange for a visiting nurse.
Polymem is a novel dressing which has been approved by the FDA for open wounds including burns.Polymem is a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane pad with a semi permeable polyurethane film backing. The pad contains a wound cleanser (F68 surfactant), a moisturizer (glycerin) and an absorb ing agent (super-absorbent polymem). The F86 surfactant is involved in dissolving the superficial necrotic layer of the burn and helps clean the burn site. Glycerin acts as a moisturizer and prevents the pad from sticking to the wound. The absorbing agent maintains the moisture of the wound which has been shown to increase wound healing. It also allows the dressing to remain on the wound for three days. Kim et al conducted a study of 44 patients with second degree burns and demonstrated an increase in healing time, more comfort, and a decrease in dressing changes with the use of Polymem.

Alumni Profile
Success Suits Fox News' Camerota '88
Alisyn Camerota, SOC/BA '88, has an early start every weekend. The weekend co-anchor of the Fox News Channel's morning program Fox & Friends Weekend awakens before 4 a.m. to make her first morning meeting at 4:45 a.m. By 7 a.m. when the cameras roll, Camerota is sitting on the anchor couch ready for her three-hour show.
"Every morning when my alarm goes off, I'm shocked. I never know why it's ringing, until I remember, 'oh yeah, this is what time I go to work."
Her prominent role has garnered lots of attention. She's recently been profiled in several publications including The New York Times, Celebrity Parents Magazine and The New York Observer's new magazine The Playground.
As busy as she is, Camerota has always made time to give back to American University. She has mentored School of Communication students for the past six years as part of SOC's Alumni Mentoring Program. She's also come back to AU to speak to classes and recently met with students participating in the annual NYC site visit networking trip along with SOC alums also at Fox, Rick Leventhal and Sharri Berg. Camerota is the co-chair of the NY chapter of SOC Alumni Ambassadors.
"I always look forward to the annual visit of A.U. students. It's so gratifying to see how committed they are to becoming journalists," she said. "They ask great questions about the career paths we took. And frankly, it's nice to see how far Sharri, Rick and I have come from our days at A.U. together."
After graduating from American University, Camerota began her career at Koppel Communications, where she worked on ABC newsman Ted Koppel's critically acclaimed primetime documentaries. She then joined Fox News Channel's Boston bureau as a correspondent in February 1998.
Before joining Fox, Camerota worked at a number of different stations, including WHDH in Boston, WTTG in Washington D.C. and for Fox's national crime program, America's Most Wanted.
She's covered most of the major news stories of the past decade, including the 2008 Presidential campaign. She reported live from Boston's 2004 Democratic National Convention from Columbus, Ohio on Election Night in 2004. She was live on the air for hours providing coverage of the War in Iraq as U.S. troops entered Baghdad and while Saddam Hussein's palace was seized. In 2001, she reported from Ground Zero and the Pentagon in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Camerota says she's grateful to American for helping to launch her career in TV news that she always dreamed of. "I was lucky enough to work at the campus TV station," she said (Also mentioning she co-anchored the news, hilariously enough, with her present day colleague Rick Leventhal). "I had a terrific internship, courtesy of A.U., that helped me network to get my first job. "
She says she's not sure what's next, but that's fine with her. "I'm very content and happy with where I am now. It's nice to finally not be worried about the next step and to enjoy the present."

The Art of Midwifery
Even a forced smile releases endorphins, the body's natural pain medicine that is similar to morphine. When we are with a birthing woman who is in pain, it may help to tell some good jokes—or even some not so good ones, especially in early labor. Carry a joke book in your birth bag!

Jan's Corner
Tools of Technology
Tools of technology, such as ultrasound and epidural, if used judiciously, can be useful in birth care. But, when these tools are used routinely, they become dangerous and rob mom of her birth power. There are consequences to every procedure. Epidurals may be a "choice" in these times, but the mother deserves to know the real dangers of this choice to herself and her baby. Those consequences do not go away even if the choice is made to have an epidural. In some cases an epidural will save mom from a cesarean. I found in my homebirth practice about 0.5–1% of mothers were saved from a cesarean by an epidural because they were finally able to relax, dilate and birth their babies.
Mothers who have suffered sexual abuse sometimes find an epidural to be a choice that will save them from a cesarean because then they do not have to feel the baby move through their violated place. I believe homebirth with an understanding midwife is an excellent choice for these moms (and really, all healthy moms!).
Moms need to weigh all of the evidence they can find. In this issue of E-News you will find many issues mothers have and are dealing with in regards to epidurals. Michel Odent's Primal Health Research Database has information as well as past issues of Midwifery Today. The interesting thing is that when moms labor at home, they do not ask for an epidural. A few will transport to the hospital for pain relief. My limited wisdom tells me it is best to have a homebirth with a good midwife to avoid an epidural and a myriad of other interventions.
Jan Tritten, mother of Midwifery Today
Jan Tritten is the founder, editor-in-chief and mother of Midwifery Today magazine. She became a midwife in 1977 after the amazing homebirth of her second daughter. Her mission is to make loving midwifery care the norm for birthing women and their babies throughout the world.

Featured Article
Just Say No to Drugs
Are mothers more likely to give birth by c-section if they receive an epidural? With rates for both c-sections and epidurals at all-time highs, many obstetricians have put two and two together and come to the conclusion that the latter contributes to the former―especially in first-time moms.
Rather than coming straight out and saying so (and maybe discouraging mothers from having an epidural), most hospitals simply refuse to give one until a mother is well into active labor―anywhere from 4 to 7 cm dilation. The rationale is that the later a mother gets an epidural, the less time is left for side-effects to occur and complicate the normal progression of birth. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) said as much in 2002 when they issued Practice Bulletin #36, advising their colleagues to "delay the administration of epidural in nulliparous women."
However, if obstetricians suspect an early epidural is a harbinger of the kind of slow-paced labor that often leads to an emergency c-section, anesthesiologists beg to differ. The way one team of anesthesiologists tells it in a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) (17 Feb 2005), rather than the early epidural per se, the need for pain relief early in labor often signals another risk factor for a cesarean, such as dysfunctional labor; which hurts more, lasts longer and often ends in a c-section―with or without an early epidural.
To prove their point and stop what they see as the inhumane policy of depriving women of their right to an epidural whenever they want one, the Department of Anesthesiology at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, set up a test trial of their own, dividing 750 carefully screened and matched mothers into two groups: a "test" group allowed to have the first half of a combined spinal/epidural as soon as they asked for pain relief and a "control" group, made to wait for their epidurals until reaching 4–5 cm of cervical dilation or by their third request for pain relief, whichever came first.
In the final analysis, a strange thing happened: The early epidural "test" moms had a slightly lower rate of c-sections than the "control" moms in the late epidural group. Their labor-to-delivery times were also approximately 90 minutes shorter. Perhaps best of all, their babies scored slightly better on their Apgar scores.
These were surprisingly good test results for epidural advocates everywhere, which were proudly presented in the prestigious NEJM and quickly leaked to the public media, which spread the word all over the world under such eye-catching headlines as, "No Gain, No Pain, in Delaying Epidural" (New York Times, 18 Feb 2005), "Numbing News: Early Epidural Not Too Risky" (Ivanhoe News Wire, 17 Feb 2005) and the more down to earth: "Gimme That Epidural" (www.usnews.com/usnews/health/briefs/pain/hb050217a.htm. Accessed 7 Nov 2005).
But was it too good to be true?
Surely breaking news reports don't lie, but neither do they always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but…. Omitted information can be every bit as misleading as misquoted data. So, too, can word choice.
Mothers-in-waiting who read all the nice things being written in the news about receiving an early epidural would be best advised to also read the full report as it appeared in the NEJM, under the more cautious title: "Risks of Cesarean Delivery with Neuraxial Analgesia Given Early versus Late in Labor."
Those who do so may come to the conclusion (as I did) that if this test trial proved anything at all, it was that all epidural combinations lead to more c-sections, whenever they're given―early or late in labor. The high rates of c-sections in both the "early" and "late" epidural groups, indicated as much.

Birth Q&A
Q: If you had an epidural during labor/birth, did you experience any adverse side effects?
— Midwifery Today
A: With my first baby, I had an epidural that was not put in quite right. It numbed me fine, but when it was removed, I was leaking spinal fluid and got an unbelievable spinal headache! After suffering for two days from a horrendous headache (all I was offered in the hospital was caffeinated beverages, which did absolutely nothing for the headache), I finally went back to the hospital and had to have a blood patch. They took blood from my arm and put it in my back where I had my epidural to repair the damage. Within an hour, my headache was gone. It definitely made me nervous to ever have another epidural!
— Mary McNeil Baron
A: I had one during my first birth. My back has never been the same. I have a lot of sciatic pain and numbness in one of my legs often. The epidural was four years ago.
— Ashleigh Corrigan
A: My son was so drugged from the epidural that he did not cry at birth and was not able to latch on for 10 days!
— Heidi Basford Kerkhof
A: I didn't have any issues at all. I was thankful!
— Kayla Leib
A: With my first birth I was very uneducated, scared and just did not know what to do or how to do it! The nurses came in and gave me Pitocin for no reason at all. I needed something to take the edge off, so I got Demerol. Then they scared me into getting an epidural. The anesthesiologist had to go into my back twice! The epidural wore off on my left side―it felt like my insides were being torn and that my left hip and leg were going to explode! One of the most painful parts was when they took the drip line out of my back. For over a year afterwards I had horrible constant back pain. I could hardly bend over to change my son's diaper.
Now I am six weeks postpartum with my second baby. I went all natural and was ready to leave the hospital right after I gave birth! It was the most unbelievable experience I have ever had in my entire life. My natural birth hurt way less than my drugged one. I labored at home and was 8 cm when I arrived at the hospital! There were no ill side effects. I had horrible postpartum depression after my first birth, which I attribute to the Pitocin and epidural. I bled for weeks with my first, but was down to spotting in a matter of days with my second.
I will always recommend that women become educated on natural labor techniques so they are fearless and confident.
— Katie Curry
A: I had an epidural with my first two births. It helped with the discomfort a lot, but it didn't work completely on my right side either time. I only got the epidural because I was scared with my first two births. With both of the births I was very nauseated and tired afterwards. With my first I got a very bad infection, but never found out where it was. I had a fever of 103 and had to go back to the hospital for two days. I don't know if that was epidural-related. With our third, I decided to go all natural at a birth center. It was such a different experience! So amazing! So much easier! I felt so much better after delivery. No nausea, I had energy and I went home three hours after the birth. Being able to move wherever and however I chose made the whole experience less painful, and I didn't tear! It was intense at the end, but totally doable and totally worth it. I will forever recommend a drug-free birth. What an awesome, beautiful, empowering experience birth can be for a woman. Trust your bodies, ladies!
— Chanel Craig
A: When I was 17 I gave birth to a beautiful little boy and started my life of back problems as a result of an epidural. I also had ringworm at the insertion site following the birth. I was unable to move my legs and push effectively as a result of the epidural. My son was lethargic and had trouble keeping warm, which I believe was due to the epidural. Eighteen years later I still have back pain as a result of this epidural.
— Michele Dangelo
A: I had two; both times I also had Pitocin because of big, overdue babies. I didn't notice any of the side effects I ought to have had (I've read some of the literature). I felt great afterwards. Both kids are great and socially and academically normal. I had one other induction and three completely natural births. I have not detected any differences between my children or my recoveries. All their breastfeeding habits were similar.
— Rachel Lucas Anderson
Conference Chatter
Birth Pain Relief Class in Belgium
We have less than two months to go until our conference in Blankenberge, Belgium, and we're all getting very excited, as I'm sure all of you who are attending are, too! Since the theme of this E-News is the epidural, I thought I'd highlight one of the many amazing classes we're offering that relates to this topic. The amazing midwife Verena Schmid is teaching a class called "Physiological Analgesia in Labor," which covers the topic of pain relief in childbirth. Verena will analyze a woman's need for pain relief and for a normal birth in different settings and offer an individualized answer to her needs through a systematic approach. In the class you will also learn to set the foundations for prenatal training for coping with pain. We hope you can join us for this very special class.
To learn more about this class and the other classes that will be at our October conference, please visit our Belgium page.
If you have any questions about this conference or any conference, past or future, please feel free to drop me a note at email@example.com and I'll be happy to assist you.

Looking for more birth stories and information?
During my birth the epidural line somehow disconnected from my back. I was trying for a waterbirth at a hospital, but ultimately got the epidural after almost 24 hours of labor. It worked, at first, but then as it came time to push, I could feel everything. No one believed me, so they kept upping the epidural medicine. I pushed for three hours and felt everything. The epidural line kept beeping so the nurse kept hitting a button to make it stop. After my son was born, a nurse was annoyed because she thought my waterbirth tub had leaked all over the floor. Someone then noticed that it wasn't water from the tub all over the floor―it was from the epidural line that had disconnected from my back! I tried to contest the charge for the epidural, but failed and still had to pay for it. I couldn't believe a nurse didn't notice, especially since the alarm kept going off!

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Toddlers love (and need) to snack. Well-timed snacks can tide a toddler over between meals and stop them from entering the hunger tantrum zone. Between meal munchies can also boost their nutrition levels when you serve fruits, veggies, wholegrains and calcium-rich foods as snacks.
Most toddlers do well with three daily meals plus two or three snacks a day at mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and again after dinner, if necessary.
So break away from the usual sultana snack packs and cheese sticks with these yummy toddler snack tempters!

The Willits school board has scheduled a special bond meeting at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 20, to talk about options to pay a nearly $5 million balloon payment on a bond anticipation note due in July 2014. The meeting will be held at the Willits High School cafeteria.
During its annual organizational agenda item, the board unanimously elected Trustee Cynthia Carni as president and Trustee Saprina Rodriguez as board clerk for the 2013/14 school year. New board member Alex Bowlds and Trustee Bob Harper will represent the board on the Facilities Subcommittee and the Budget Advisory Subcommittee.
Carni will continue on the Health Advisory Council, and Rodriquez will continue on the Instructional Council and the Technology Committee.
Trustees also volunteered to serve on site councils for all the district's schools, with the understanding that when a new board member is chosen in January, that member may choose to take over one of those assignments.
Applications for the open seat on the board will be available until December 28 at the district office at 120 Pearl Street, and are due on December 31.
Persons wishing to submit questions for?board?members to consider asking during the interviews scheduled for the January 9 board meeting should do so by Monday, December 17.
For more information, call 459-5314, ext 1101.
Executive Assistant Laura Sleeper told trustees she had one application for the open seat "in hand" and another on the way.
Interim Superintendent Debbie Pearson accepted a check for $5,000 from PG&E Community Relations representative Leslie?Horak. The donation will be used to help fund the district's online education program, designed for students who've fallen behind with "credit recovery," as well as for advanced students.
Horak said PG&E was committed to "building community" in the areas it serves with grants, scholarships, employee volunteerism "and local investments like this one."
Principal Gordon Oslund reported he was working with Facilities Director Wayne Bashore on mitigation measures for the "big hole" on the Willits High School campus where the new science buildings were to have been built.
The fence has been taken down, so students no longer have to walk the long way around to get to the back of the campus, but "it's a muddy mess," Oslund said. "We have put a temporary paving strip back there, and we are putting in straw for erosion control.
"am also working with Wayne on a more permanent temporary solution."
