'Fussy Baby'
I get defensive when it comes to my experience with my newborns.
My daughter Abigail had colic, and my son, Zachary, we called Abby-lite in the early days. He was as fussy as a baby can be without being colicky.
So I've done my time.
That doesn't mean I have the market cornered on difficult babies. Heck, one woman I know of had to take shifts standing under the kitchen light with her colicky newborn, 24 hours a day. It could always be worse.
You can't possibly know if you haven't been there. You can't know the feeling of helplessness, the feeling of unworthiness, the feeling of failure, the feeling of frustration, the feeling of isolation, the feeling that it will never end, and that there is nothing you can do to change it.
You can't know the true meaning of the insufficient word 'fussy' until you've been given a Fussy Baby to care for and love. You just can't possibly know.
There are levels of everything; levels of colic, levels of fuss, levels of high need. Everything falls within a spectrum. But to have a baby who falls somewhere on this spectrum, who is truly colicky, fussy or high needs, is to know a reality unlike that of your friends with children who are what anyone else would usually consider 'normal.'
I felt alienanted from my friends with newborns when I first had my daughter. They were wonderful and helpful and kind and understanding. They held my daughter and let me lean on their shoulders. They were incredibly supportive. But they didn't know. They could sympathize but they couldn't empathize. I didn't wish it on them. But I wish one of them could know. Any of them.
Being around their happy babies made me feel even worse about my miserable one. Are they judging me? Do they pity me? Are they glad they're not me?
I wouldn't wish colic on my worst enemy. And I really hate my worst enemy.
A Fussy Baby isn't a baby who fusses. All babies fuss. All babies have off times, off days, off hours. They can't talk. They can barely cognate. Lots have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. But, Fussy Babies are a particular breed. They take much more effort to soothe and to handle. They are unhappy more often than not, even if they're not constantly crying.
I get defensive about my experience because of how markedly different it was from the people I was surrounded by in those days. I wished, during every second of visits with friends and their babies, that my baby could be more like theirs.
Why can't she just sit on my lap and look around?
Why can't she be awake and happy?
Why does she hate life so much?!?
There is something life changing about parenting a high needs baby. It changes your tolerance. It changes your perspective. It effects how you respond to other parents and their own experience. It can't not. I was definitely quicker to freak out when my second child was fussy, because I felt I had already paid my dues with my first.
I now go out of my way to reach out to people who are going through what I did, because I know how alone they can feel. I get that there is a difference between someone who says they understand, and someone who actually does.
To have a resource of people who understand is invaluable. I wish there was such a resourse for me during those days.
I am grateful to have a voice, and to have a perspective and a medium through which I am able to offer the ear, the shoulder, and the understanding that I so needed.
Leslie lives in Toronto with her husband, her 2 and a half year old daughter and 5 month old son. She is presently on maternity leave and enjoying the hectic and harried life with two young children.

Yes, yes, YES! I never thought I would be one to approach and reach out to mama's struggling with colicky/high needs babies, but experience changes you and makes you want to help. Great post!
Stacey, sometimes I've wondered if we go through this to become more empathic and sensitive to others going through the same thing. Looking at it that way certainly helps ease the burden a bit anyway.
I had family that claimed they understood…my husband was colic, my mil said she had to lay him on a pillow in her lap n rock him side to side, aall night ….but thing is when my daughter,2nd child…came n was colic…my mil was so quick to judge…y i didnt keep up with the house, y i was constantly irritated at my hubby mostly…i felt no support..n like this says..helpless, unworthy, never ending….i just dont understand, if she went through it…y she acted that way…she claims she still kept her house spotless…..???
Karen, I don't think she really remembers what it was like. I was talking with one of my mom's friends when my son was colicky and she had the BEST response I've heard. She was mid/late 60's, and when she heard Sammy was colicky, she was immediately compassionate and talked about how hard it was when he now-40 year old son was colicky. She said she remembered it like yesterday, and said it just turned her world upside down. It was so nice to hear from someone 40 years later who realized it's actually a BIG deal. It's short-lived, but can really make a huge impact in so many ways. P.S. My house was a total disaster when Sammy was a baby 🙂
I look around and think why me! What have I done to deserve this. My little guy is unhappy more than he is happy. Somedays I love him but I don't like him. Having a high needs baby is exhausting – I have got to the stage where I hate to meet up with friends as he just moans and screams – He is nearly 10 months old and each day I get through is a day I don't have to travel again. This is sad however I also feel so alone and have no idea what I can do except just accept him for who he is and say to myself – this is just a phase.
I think you're right Lisa…once you can accept who he is and know this will pass, it does makes things easier. But it still doesn't make things EASY. It's hard to accept that life and motherhood may not be like you hoped and imagined. It's really a grieving process. Personally I find it helps to focus (really focus) on all the wonderful things that make my 'spirited' child special…and it gives me a new appreciation for him!
I smiled as I read this. Because it so perfectly describes what life with a fussy infant was like. And it feels so good to read someone else's words describe my own experience. There will always be in comfort in those that understand.
So agree! It's like a breath of fresh air to hear from someone who knows exactly what you're going/have gone through.
Reading this actually brought tears to my eyes because it echoed my thoughts exactly and let me know I'm not alone. You are exactly right; if they haven't experienced it, they just don't know. My husband and I were blessed with this baby (one month ago) after 11 years of trying, and I hate to admit that my thoughts and feelings aren't always positive ones. I'll just try to keep my eyes trained on that light at the end of the tunnel…
Shea, You don't know how many parents I've talked to who feel SO SO guilty….they tried so long and so hard to have kids, and now are really struggling with feelings of 'maybe we shouldn't have tried so hard'. I think we mostly know deep down it will be worth it, it's just so incredibly hard at the beginning. Hang in there!
Great articles! I read the colic primer and fussy baby! What a relief to see what I am going through is EXACTLY what other mothers go through. My son had a hard start to life and spent his first four weeks in hospital having his heart repaired ( he had a valve that did not fully form). It's so hard not to blame myself for not just his heart but now his colicky behaviour…and hard not to keep dissecting every aspect of my pregnancy…
I know I just have to move on and allow myself to accept all of this was no fault of mine( as the doctors keep telling me) and just continue to do everything I can do for him.
I am tired of other moms telling me "he's hungry"…as if I don't know when my baby is hungry…or did you burp him? really as if I don't know to burp my son!…I have tried everything friends and doctors have recommended, oval, gripe water, pumping and then bottle feeding, skin to skin, different sleep positions, cutting out foods from my diet…now i think it's just accepting it and taking it one day at a time. Mornings and evenings are by far the WORST for him!
One day at a time…Thanks for a really great read. I will likely come back and read this many times over the next little while!
This is so well said!! 🙂 I am so happy to have come across this article! I have a good number of friends that have babies very close to my sons age and they just don't seem to understand! My family either! Everyone says things like just put him down hell quit fussing or fall asleep but he doesn't! He's not like their babies or how their children were! He's different he's unique. His fussing turns to screams till he's blue in the face. And I didn't have a baby to leave cry or neglect. I just wish there were someone here that understood!
There are good days and bad but sometimes think the good ones are far between. I love my little girl Kaia but sometimes I cry with her. It can make me feel as a mother that I'm not doing a goog job. All though my husband says that I am super mom and he couldn't do what I do. It's a releaf to hear others go through the same thing as me and some even worse. But in my heart I do know that all this hard work it is worth it in the end.
Thank you for sharing this… I googled "dealing with a fussy baby" and was so grateful to come across something like this! My daughter is only 4 months old and she has been fussy/ colicky since BIRTH. No joke, at the hospital I was asking people why my baby seemed so much more unhappy than the other babies and no one could give me a good answer. I feel alienated from my friends (ESPECIALLY the childless ones!) and I definitely take out my frustrations on my husband on a daily basis. We tried so hard to have her, and it took many years… so I feel so guilty when I think, why can't you just be a "normal" and "happy" baby!? There is no medical explanation that we are aware of, we just got a "fussy one." I try to tell myself on a daily basis that this will get better, they are only little once… so I try so hard to treasure the time, but how can you treasure time with a screaming newborn? She even cries when she smiles… Yes, she smiles through her protests and tears! Anyway, thank you, it's nice to know that WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Wow don't think I could of said it better myself. I also googled "extremely fussy baby" for the 50th time just to see if there was something I missed or maybe a little miracle to make him quit crying so much. Unfortunately I haven't found it lol. I love my now 6 month old son to death but I swear he cries and fussys so much. I have tried everything I know to do, Im about to start him on formula and I just pray that maybe then hel sleep a little more or grow out of this stage. I just don't understand what an infant has to be so pissed off about when he has everything. I also have a 2 year old and sometimes I just set and cry because I feel like I have no time for him anymore and I know I'm short tempered now because my youngest is always crying. I dnt wana go anywhere or even see family because I feel like they dont want to hear him cry. I dont want to leave him because I don't want anyone else to have to deal with him because I know how extremely frustrating it can be. I'm so happy to have come across this and know that I'm not the only one and know that it's not just my son, and that I'm not a horrible mother for feeling the way I do sometimes. Thank you for writing this!
Leslie – you are a better person than me. I HAVE wished colicky babies on others. Especially those moms with "easy" babies who seem to think they have all the answers and I'm just being dense/a wimp/must not love my child.
Having a fussy baby has utterly changed my perspective. Granted, he's on the "lighter" end of the fuss-spectrum, but it has been the single most hardest thing I have ever done. I am so glad that I found this site because I know that I am NOT alone, I'm NOT a failure as a mother, it IS ok to "wish away my child's infancy", I DON'T have to savor every moment, and crying in the shower is no way a reflection of how much I love my baby or how strong of a mama I am!
Thanks Leslie!
I too am a Toronto mother of a very fussy baby (now almost a fussy toddler). I can definitely empathize with EVERYTHING you said, especially the part about wishing my baby was like other mothers' (and then feeling guilty about it). I thought alot of the time that it was my fault (and still do). Good luck with the next one. I am still debating having another after my first fussy experience.
wow!! to read the words that express what i have been/am going through was so……comforting. to know that there are others who have been & are going through similar things really does lift the burden of feeling 'alone', especially when i don't know a single one of my friends who has a 'spirited' baby like mine. it's true, friends & loved ones can sympathize, but NONE of them can really empathize because none of them have a 'spirited' child like mine…i love reading that "it does pass" from mothers who have been there because they're proof that there's light at the end of the tunnel LoL!!
Im glad I'm not the only one out there after reading this. My son is 8 wks old and he showed signs of fussiness 12 hours after birth. He has been one fussy,colicky, high need baby and this being my first experience with all of this. I have 2 daughters that are older and never went thru this with them and at times wonder if there is something physically wrong with him. We have been to the Peditrician countless times and have changed his formula at least 5 times and so far the tummy troubles are getting fewer. He still is so fussy and it's so hard to make him happy and everyone is afraid to hold him for fear that he will start being fussy. So other words I have been a prisoner to my own home. I start back to work in a week and pray he does ok for the sitter, I just hope things will get better and he can be a happy baby instead of fussy. Wish they had support groups in my area, that would be so helpful.
What a brilliant idea! There are other mothers out there who are alone in their suffering, fears, feelings of guilt and inadequacy, who desperately need understanding. What if YOU started a support group? Just imagine how many moms would be comforted by meeting with others who are suffering and struggling the very same way? With you having 3 children it may seem impossible to start a group, but if there's any way, the benefits would be life-changing, even life-saving.
What the heck does the word Colic mean anyway? People keep asking me if he "has" colic and I reply – i don't know what it is, just that he screamed constantly for the first three months and is still extremely particular about everything. We are learning, slowly, how to understand each other. I agree with the other comments- it is especially hard to see how much easier it is for all of our friends with babies of similar age – but it is also reassuring when we spend time with them because I can see the difference and know that our struggle is based in a reality that my baby requires much more active parenting than other babies. I'm exhausted for a very legitimate reason!
Hang in there mama's! This too shall pass, right?!?!?
Someone made a comment to me that maybe me being stressed made my baby get stressed and have colic and be fussy.. do you think this could be true? She said maybe if I was more relaxed things would be different… but how can you be relaxed with a colicky, fussy baby?
Tanya, my baby started her screaming/crying/fussing hours after birth. The advice in the hospital I received was, "let her cry." I knew something was wrong with her and it took us a month to figure it out, while doctors were not helpful at all.
But her crying, and me not being able to help her in any way made me a nervous, anxious mom. Especially when you do have people saying things. I had a great pregnancy with her–wasn't stressed, and a non-traumatic birth (reasons that I hear other mothers rationalize why their babies are the way they are. I don't buy it). And only became a stressed mom because the baby cried all the time. While a baby can sense if mom is stressed/upset, etc., I know my daughter wasn't crying because of me–no matter how many people wanted to tell me it was. If someone hasn't been there, they don't know. I had so much anxiety with her. Everyone's telling me to sleep when she sleeps, etc., but I couldn't. Anyway, I had to hold her 24/7, and slept every night in a chair with her in my arms.
Needless to say that at 2 1/2, we've come such a long way. She's still high needs in that she's clingy to me. But the colicky/fussiness that I had to endure her first year is replaced by normal two year old characteristics.
I had a son 13 1/2 months after her (what was I thinking, right?), who was fussy at first, but had the same milk protein issue that she had. Once we figured out a formula solution, we had an easy going baby. It made me realize that babies are all different, and the moms who have had easy going babies just need to keep their mouths shut! (BTW, I was stressed my entire pregnancy with him.)
I just want to echo Carrie's experience regarding a great pregnancy and non-traumatic birth. My wife had a totally healthy, uneventful pregnancy and we lucked out and had about the most natural (and fast–less than two hours) birth one could possibly have. And our daughter screamed bloody murder from the moment she was born (actually, the very second her head emerged during birth) until she was about 3.5 months old. At which point she very VERY gradually screamed less and less every day.
Now she's a 10-month-old and is a total joy to be around during the day (she's still an awful sleeper, but we're working on it) and is crawling and babbling and smiling like crazy. She initiated a game of peekaboo the other day and my jaw literally dropped–there was a time I just couldn't imagine that little screaming creature becoming a person. Now when I see her, my heart swells with so much love I feel like I could vomit–and I definitely didn't get to that point overnight. During those early days, there were actually times when I thought to myself, "If Hell does exist, this must be it, I am there." Granted, that was usually at around 3 a.m. and things seemed slightly better during the day.
I just wanted to post this so that someone in the early months with their extremely colicky/high-needs/fussy baby will have some hope. I predict: things will slowly improve for your baby in a stepwise fashion (small improvement – plateau – small improvement – plateau). Until you'll find yourself at some point saying, "Wow, things really weren't THAT bad today–there was hardly any crying at all." It may take a while, but in the meantime just hang on! And be nice to one another because it's really hard.
Thanks Leslie – although as you say, you don't wish a colicky baby on anybody, it really is the great beneift of the internet that you can connect with others who have had similar experiences and therefore not feel quite so isolated.
I had two babies who suffered from extreme colic – it seemed never ending – but now they are 2 and 6 and are lively little things just bursting with character! i won't change them for the world.
I still recall the pain of the colic-days and rather than try to forget it I started a FB page and a website http://www.mycrybaby.co.uk to try to connect parents of colicky babies so they know they are not alone and can share their soothing tricks!
Thanks again Leslie and the other commentators for your openness in sharing your story!
By the way, in case anyone wants to join the baby colic facebook page I set up to bring together parents of colicky babies you can find it at http://www.facebook.com/babycolic
Remember it can take some time but things do get better!

Gulls stalwart backs Buckle
Torquay midfielder Eunan O'Kane has tipped Paul Buckle's regime at Bristol Rovers to come good soon.
Last Updated: 21/12/11 4:33pm
Torquay midfielder Eunan O'Kane has tipped Paul Buckle's regime at Bristol Rovers to come good soon.
O'Kane, who was handed his debut at Plainmoor by ex-Gulls manager Buckle almost two years ago, is convinced that his former boss just needs time to get his new-look squad functioning effectively at the Memorial Stadium.
And despite some Pirates fans calling for Buckle's head, the 21-year-old believes Rovers will start to climb League Two very shortly.
"It's going to be difficult at any club. He's signed 15 or 16 players and to get all those players to play in the way he wants them to play is always going to take time," O'Kane said.
"Although they're down there at the moment, with the players he's got there - and he's got quality there - they'll push up the table.
"If I know Bucks the way I think I do, I would say they will get going soon. I wouldn't say they're struggling, it's just a testing time and I'm sure he'll get them out of it."

Dimitris Bokas keeps meticulous records of the bathroom fixtures he sells from his small shop in the quiet middle-class residential neighborhood of Koukaki near the center of Athens — just in case a tax inspector makes a surprise visit to ensure Greece's 23 percent sales tax is being collected and reported correctly.
But Bokas also does installation and repair jobs — and half of those involve cash deals with no receipts for his labor. The result is that a job costing 250 euros ($275) goes for 125 euros because he doesn't charge the client sales tax and Bokas doesn't report the income for taxation. "I've got a receipt for everything I sell in my shop," Bokas said. But tax officials "don't know what my hands do."
This kind of tax dodging is a Greek national pastime, costing the state billions of euros in revenue. Greece promised last week to get tough on tax evasion in return for a third European bailout expected to be negotiated over the next month. The talks, expected to last four weeks, will start if Parliament agrees by Wednesday to eurozone demands including tax hikes and pension cuts.
But experts say Greece has largely failed in previous crackdowns on tax evasion, which has been rampant for generations. An estimated 10 billion euros in taxes never makes it into government coffers annually — a significant factor in the country's inability to pay its roughly 320 billion euros in national debt.
Tax dodging among Greeks started as a sign of patriotism during nearly four centuries of Ottoman rule that ended in 1821. It continues today amid mistrust over government spending and disdain over how the country's various administrations have handled Greece's financial mess after the economy imploded in 2009.

1. Will the team remain healthy? As a team, Maryland actually tore fewer total ACLs during the 2012 season than in years past. The unwanted attention came because three quarterbacks suffered the same injury and a fourth was lost for the season with a Lisfranc ailment. But starting QB C.J. Brown is healed, and the Terrapins need him to stay fresh, especially with a bevy of playmakers that includes at least two all-ACC-caliber wide receivers. If Maryland can avoid the medical calamities of last season, the talent and experience are enough to help Coach Randy Edsall reach his first bowl game since coming to College Park.
2. Can the offensive line hold strong? After allowing an ACC-high 39 sacks last season, the offensive line has not appeared to strengthen. Granted, its preseason struggles could be a product of Maryland's blitz-heavy defense, but two former backups recently earned starting jobs, an indication the Terps aren't nearly as stable up front as they hoped to be entering August. Left tackle Mike Madaras, a sophomore who started eight games as a true freshman last season, will anchor the blind side, but it's at right guard and right tackle where Maryland needs help the most.
3. How high can Diggs fly? Stefon Diggs's 172.4 all-purpose yards per game last season were the most by a freshman in ACC history. He's receiving dark-horse Heisman Trophy buzz and consistently gets lumped among the country's most exciting players. By all accounts, the sophomore has become the face of Terps football. Defenses will game-plan around Diggs, who caught 54 passes for 848 yards and six touchdowns last season, in addition to returning two kickoffs for touchdowns and passing for another in the season finale. How he responds could pave the way for Maryland's success — or lack thereof — this year.

Money is not entirely meaningless, but I am beginning to think it's less tangible than my Facebook friendships. First Facebook announced that it was issuing its own credit card, then Amazon concocted its own Kindle coins, and now Reddit has announced it will be accepting Bitcoins for premium service. I need an app just to maintain the copious varieties of currencies that have flooded the interwebs.
What exactly can you purchase with Bitcoins? On Reddit, Bitcoins are worth perks and privileges. For $3.99/mo, users can eliminate ads, save comments, and view more comments per page. There are over 200 million USD worth of Bitcoins in circulation, and its value has doubled since the beginning of 2013 from $13.50 to over $27.00 (USD). This trend is likely to continue given the influence of Reddit users on politics and technology.
Naturally, Redditors are already using Bitcoins to fund on-line stripping. Users are posting partially nude photos along with their Bitcoin account where tippers can send Bitcoins to encourage more stripping. This only goes to prove that sex, money, and the internet will be constant no matter which currency you choose.

Back to school period may be the time for you to begin getting enthusiastic about your store producing a lot of money. To do this, you have truly got to concentrate on what affects their spending and what attracts clients for your shop. For determining things to purchase and to invest People make use of a complicated selection of requirements.

Mannequins assist them to recognize on the individual stage using the show. Utilize your model show to promote your latest styles, priciest product your accessories and all. It had been believed the garments might merely market better if individuals might discover the things they appeared to be on while manequins para loja were employed. This offered a far more personalized search to the apparel. But the things they did not recognize, was they might have this type of potent impact on item revenue. Jewelry, caps, bags, sneakers, shades and much more began selling constantly.
The solution is just a small complex. It is not like people not looked at the components before. From checking to purchasing what exactly transformed their brain? Where the mental impact of the model is necessary this really is. By accessorizing and selling clothes, you display the entire bundle to somebody. Many people possess a difficult time placing products together to produce a search. Why fashion makers are therefore effective this is, they are able to envision what will appear great together plus they take action. Therefore, placing sneakers, cap, gloves, the best bag, top and dress together in ways the client mightn't have considered before, does the job for them.

Threats to Kalista with this build
|Only skillshots... Easiest matchup with Kalista.
Hi, i'm Big_Teemo_is_watching_you (username is Alex26000). I will explain you why pick Kalista mid and when pick / don't pick her.
Why Kalista mid?
I pick Kalista mid because she can dodge (partially at least...) all skillshots and do great damage. Pierce + 2 AA + Rend = 337 + 387% AD (without crit).
It seems bad but in game, it's good.
- Can dodge all skillsshots
- Good burst
- When your jungler ganks, it's generally a kill
- Squishy
- Weak against targeted spells champs
How to trade / harass
When you harass, always go back after each shot with your passive so minions don't hit you.
Try to trade when ennemy laner is at least at 5/8 of his health : it will probably be a kill for you.

Salt Dough Ornaments
This week we are making salt dough which is a fun and versatile dough for making Christmas ornaments. The basic recipe is: combine 1 ½ cups of warm water with 1 cup of salt, add 4 cups of flour and knead by hand, adding more flour if needed to keep it from sticking to your hands. Roll dough to ¼" thickness and use your favorite holiday cookie cutters to create fun shapes for the tree. Before baking at 250 degrees for 2-3 hours or until dry, remember to punch a hole in the top so you can tie a ribbon to the finished ornament for hanging. Some variations to consider: Add some cinnamon to the dough for a festive smell and a beautiful brown color, or add food coloring to dough before rolling.
After cutting out shapes but before baking, use stamps to leave a design or saying on the ornament and after it is completely cool you can further decorate it with paint. Use a glue gun to add glitter, rhinestones or other bling. Cutting a shape out of the center of your shape will create some negative space that makes your ornament a picture frame. You can also use the dough as modeling clay and create figurines or other three dimensional object. Overall, have fun and be creative, these make great gifts, and are a fun way to spend a Saturday in the kitchen with your little one. Don't forget to write the date on your ornament, so you can "remember when".

Or here for a simple explanation Wikipedia is not always correct. And it cannot be trusted or explained well.
If Buddhists doesn't believe in rebirth then like I said, people/countries change the Buddhist teachings to fit their believe/taste. And if Buddhist doesn't believe them, then they have missed the purpose of life.
Moreover I didn't really mean that their ancestors are literally gods, but they worship as if they are gods.

that may be true, or not. however, a lot of people need religion, or the idea that there is a god somewhere out there to exist. in fact, most humans need an idea to survive, and one of the most simple ideas there is would be a god. at least, it certainly has little need for many questions.

Religion was something that for many years actually created order in society.
"Why should I not kill people around me?"
"Because you go to hell"
As irrational a thought as it may seem to others, this held society together. It provided encouragement for those living to keep living despite the bad things in life, and it motivated others to do things for good causes. By having religion, society was in a way controlled.
And even if we were to abolish religion because it is as bad as you say it is, people will always fill that void with something else. The atheistic communists of yesterday and today fill that gap with their government. Their own government becomes their religion! The state, not the individual.
I'm in no way a religious person by any means, I'm agnostic, but I just feel that you have a narrow outlook on what role religion plays in life.

@twkiwileereincarnation click:On Reincarnation) As it says, this notion of the transmigration of the soul definitely does not exist in Buddhism. Buddhanet is a good source for written materials. (note: I consider myself a Buddhist with some nasty secular humanist tendencies and a love of Shinto, eh? )

Different Cultures intergrate their own beliefs and/or "religion" into Buddhism. For example, Hinduism intergrate or alter Buddhism in a way that I can't believe I have friends who are from the middle east said that [in religion I forgot the name, since there just so many different relugion names in the middle east] Buddhism has a God!? What? and not just that they thought Buddha was God, which I disagree. Or another example, some Christians say: " Oh i believe in Buddhism except we'll just intergrate God into this religion" And in some countries int he middle east that [I've heard] said made up stories about Buddhism, and say that's Buddhism. And so I was kind of pissed at that.
so yea.. I hope I explained more clearly.
O yea, and what you said about "Buddhanet.net is a good source for written material"
I don't what you mean by that. (I'm not asking just so that I can rebuke you, but because I really don't know what you mean)

I'm not saying Hinduism is the same as Buddhism or Hinduism intergates parts from Buddhism. I'm just upset at the fact that they talk/made up stories about how Buddhism (but not on purpose--that's what they learned) has something "holy" that's related or has some connections to Hinduism..Muslim..etc. <-- It just doesn't has to be about Hinduism..muslim..it could be anyone/ any religion, but I'm just saying it based on my past experience/encounters.

Its pretty typical for people to map things they don't understand onto concepts they *do* understand.... even if they're unclear on the concepts of their own belief system. That sounds a bit of what your acquaintences are doing.
As for buddhanet.net, I just meant it was a good source for getting a clue about Buddhism or in reading essays on Buddhism.

I don't believe my acquaintences are doing anything.
but your reply and mine are actually the same for you stated: "this notion of the transmigration of the soul definitely does not exist in Buddhism" and mine "is re-born and develops a personality conditioned both by the mental characteristics that have been carried over...This process of dying and being reborn will continue until the conditions that cause it, craving" and ignorance, cease. When they do, instead of being reborn, the mind attains a state called Nirvana and this is the ultimate goal of Buddhism and the purpose of life." means the same thing.
So I don't know what you mean by "typical to map things they don't understand onto stuff they do" I didn't not try change the wordings to fit my belief/statement.
i was afraid that you might be like others that don't know what it means when Buddhist say reincarnation.

although.. im not sure about this myself, but buddhism was somewhat of an exception to this, and jainism to some extent. buddhism was pretty fervently rejected, that is exactly why ( im saying this even though ive been raised hindu ) a religion/philosophy like buddhism which is more logical and believable in every way compared to hinduism, was never too succesful, and instead really started developing further east.

I'm not any religion that anyone would know about. I go through life mixing what I believe is true into one thing, which is my religion. I'm not really sure if there is a term for it.
I have some things that I grabbed from a few different religions, and intertwined it together with my own thoughts.
The closest thing I could find to this was something in one of my History books called "Divine Faith", which was the belief that all religions are pretty much the same. I can't find anything about it anywhere else though. Probably because it was very old, and only existed in one small country.

The Right Honourable Sir Nicholas Addison Phillips, Knight, a Lord Justice of Appeal, having been appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and created Baron Phillips of Worth Matravers, of Belsize Park in the London Borough of Camden, for life--Was, in his robes, introduced between the Lord Alexander of Weedon and the Lord Mustill.
Lord Campbell of Croy asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Williams of Mostyn): My Lords, it is less than 10 years since Parliament considered how to deal with matters which should properly be kept secret. The result was the Official Secrets Act 1989. We believe that the Act provides a sound basis for protecting sensitive official information, and we currently have no plans to replace or amend it.
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply which was certainly satisfactory to me. While there was general agreement in 1989 for deleting Section 2--the catch-all section--of the 1911 Act, are the Government now glad that the provisions in the present Act concerning former members of MI5 and MI6 are available to be invoked, although in Opposition the present Government Front Bench voted against them?
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I was not on the Government Front Bench or the Opposition Front Bench in 1989; and of course circumstances change. After all, we are now in Government.
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, it seems that I am to use a second barrel! Are those Members of the Liberal Democrats Party who are attending the Cabinet Committee, and who are not Privy Counsellors, expected to sign statements under the Official Secrets
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, the Liberal Democrat Party is notoriously law abiding, and I am sure they know their duty.
Earl Baldwin of Bewdley: My Lords, will the Minister consider the position of the expert scientific committees? I refer, for example, to the Committee on the Safety of Medicines where the operation of the Official Secrets Act inhibits outside scrutiny.
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I think that that is a different matter. The Question is directed to the Official Secrets Act 1989. Essentially that deals with matters which have to be kept secret: that is, national security and intelligence matters. Different provisions of the Act relate, for instance, to matters of defence, special investigations, and interception of communications; but none of those matters bites on the problem to which the noble Earl referred.
Lord Avebury asked the Chairman of Committees:
Lord Avebury: My Lords, can the Minister tell me whether he, the Committee and the working group have read the White Paper Smoking Kills in which the Prime Minister said that 120,000 people will die in 1999 from illnesses directly related to smoking? Has the Minister also noted that hundreds of people die from passive exposure to tobacco fumes? Does not he agree with the Government that totally smoke-free workplaces are the ideal and should not your Lordships' House show an example by making every public room and corridor in this end of the Palace of Westminster smoke free?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, from the murmurs from all parts of your Lordships' House, there
In relation to the preamble to the noble Lord's Question, I should say that I am not a member of that group. It was set up by your Lordships' Administration and Works Sub-Committee. I have not read the White Paper to which the noble Lord referred but I read the reports about it at the time. I cannot say this afternoon whether it has been read by the members of your Lordships' working group. I shall make inquiries and ensure that if they have not yet had an opportunity to read it, it will be drawn to their attention.
Baroness Trumpington: My Lords, does the Minister agree that at his age, the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, does not look bad considering he has had to endure smokers all his life? Furthermore, does the Minister agree that at my ripe old age, having started smoking in the pigsties aged 11, I do not look too bad? Secondly, does the Minister agree that until a substance has been declared illegal, there should be freedom for those who wish to indulge?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, when I saw the noble Baroness, Lady Trumpington, rise just as the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, was about to ask his supplementary question, I was about to suggest that the noble Baroness was rather "quick on the draw". I shall say no more about her interest in smoking.
The substantive point made by the noble Baroness is a consideration which will be taken into account by the working group in the course of discussion in relation to any recommendations which it might make. I agree with the noble Baroness that the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, looks extremely good. However, if I may say so, the noble Baroness looks absolutely splendid! She brings great joy to this Member of your Lordships' House.
Lord Janner of Braunstone: My Lords, the noble Baroness put the case for smokers with her usual charming understatement. However, does not my noble friend agree that, just as those adults such as the noble Baroness who wish to smoke should be totally free to do so, those who do not like to eat and drink where there is smoke also have a right to their decent eating habits? As a start and even before the informal committee reports, would not my noble friend consider making at least some of the eating places in this House free from smoke?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, some of the eating places in your Lordships' House are already smoke-free areas. I shall not specify them now because it would take up too much of your Lordships' time, but I shall see that a note is made available indicating which areas are subject to those restrictions.
It is the case that, though smokers and non-smokers do not exactly have rights--one hesitates to use that word in certain contexts--they certainly have interests in these matters. The considerations that the noble Lord put forward this afternoon are those which are already in the mind of the working group in its consideration of these matters.
Lord Walton of Detchant: My Lords, having heard the noble Baroness, does the noble Lord agree that it is acceptable to recognise that there are exceptions to every rule? There is incontrovertible evidence that smoking is a major cause of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Is the noble Lord aware that in the state of California there has been a ban recently on smoking in all public bars? There is now statistical evidence to show that that has greatly improved the health of the bartenders. Are not we in a situation in this House where we should be considering not only the health of your Lordships in general, but also the health of our staff?
The Chairman of Committees: My Lords, I was not aware of the specific American experience of which the noble Lord, Lord Walton of Detchant, spoke. However, I shall see that that is drawn to the attention of the working group if it does not already know about it. Indeed, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Walton, with all his expert medical experience, that there is significant evidence in relation to the effects of passive smoking. In fact--perhaps I should have said this in answer to the supplementary question of the noble Lord, Lord Avebury--it was some of the evidence on passive smoking that led to the setting up of the working group in the first place.
Lord Burnham: My Lords, if your Lordships agree that there should be some restriction on smoking, I am sure it will also be agreed that it is necessary to provide some sort of club room where noble Lords who wish to smoke may do so. Will the Chairman of Committees therefore assist us to get back the Pugin Room?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for EL PRIMER PASO LTD, Dover, NJ, USA
I have a seven year history with El Primer Paso. I first learned of them through my involvement with Kiwanis. Then I became a Board member. My children "grew up" there, and when the second one officially graduated from preschool, I felt like I was graduating too. I cannot say enough good things about El Primer Paso. From the Board to the staff to the volunteers and community supporters that make everything possible at this school, every moment spent here was a gift. Thank you. I recommend this school to every young child I know. My children are thriving students today because of the start they had at El Primer Paso.

Something has been laying heavy on my heart the past couple of weeks. It's been allllll jumbled in my mind, but by the grace of God, I am going to try my best to articulate what I believe He has placed on my heart.
Before I continue, I want to make something clear, this is for Christians exclusively. I often write to a wide audience, but this post is directed at my Christian Family. If you're not a Christian, I don't mind if you continue to read, but it probably won't be applicable for you.
With that being said…
Since I have started writing, I have met some AMAZING Christian women. Outside my circle of Christians within my local church, I don't have too many other friends that I can say we are "kindred spirits". So, it has been SUCH a blessing to gain friendships with women who live across the country, even world, and yet have the SAME HEART. We are family. I pray for them often. I cheer them on. I genuinely love them.
Because we are on the SAME TEAM.
In the height of all the political chaos, the thing that bothered me the most was Christians attacking/accusing/slandering/and dishonoring EACH OTHER. This should not be so. The Christian has been purchased by the blood of Jesus, and we should think very carefully before speaking a word of dishonor towards those that Jesus chose to die for.
Are we flawed and imperfect? Absolutely. But if you think another Sister, or Brother, is in the wrong, then you need to approach them about it. NOT post or talk about it to someone else.
And as I was praying for the Church, the Bride of Christ, I could not help but see how this was clearly the hand of the Enemy at work.
We are in a time where truth doesn't matter in politics or our culture. So when things get so foggy and disfigured, it's easy for the Enemy to plant offense or discord in our hearts. We see it as, "well, we just have a difference of conviction. A difference of opinion. We're just different." And that can be true, yes, but a "difference of opinion" won't brood offense.
We are in a battle, and Satan is making his assault on Christians, by inserting division in our hearts against our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies,
If you are a Christian, then you are family to other Christians (John 1:12). Most would do anything for their earthly family, how much more so should we be committed to our eternal family?
In this verse in Proverbs, God makes it CLEAR His hatred for division within the Body. God hates it as much, as "hands that shed innocent blood." Wow.
In the times we are in, everyone is preaching "LOVE OTHERS! LOVE THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW JESUS!"
And yes, I 100% agree, but even MORE SO we are to LOVE THE BRETHREN.
Meaning, your unity with the church should be more valuable than your frustration in the "non-essentials"
Ephesians 6:1-10
"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."
Sister, brother, we will change the world by the way we love each other.
John 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
There are 3 things that mark a Christian as a Team Member (family member):
1. You Have the Same Vision.
- When you are on a soccer team, if the team is divided in which direction to kick the ball, they will fail.How true for us. We need to have the same vision; to love God and to love people.
On the field, you use your different skills, and abilities, and work towards the goal of winning.
But your pride doesn't reside within YOUR abilities, it's in THE TEAM. It was the congruent effort of the team that brought success. Likewise, we shouldn't boast in ourselves, but in Christ who brings success to THE TEAM.
We need to let go of our differences and our offenses and come together to work toward the goal of winning.
If you do have a different gifting, dream, passion than those of your local church family, how can you insert the way God made you to the vision of the Pastor you are under? I'm not saying you have to be a clone, but if we don't have the same vision nothing will get accomplished. Use the way God made you to win the goal.
Pray for creativity, humility, and love.
And here's the hard truth: you'll never find a perfect pastor that you always agree with, so don't leave the church every time there's a difference of opinion.
Which leads me to my next point….
2. You're Committed to Each Other.
When my husband was in high school he played football, and in the summer before the football games would start they would have their summer camp and train the players. I believe they did this #1 because it helped them practice as a team, but #2 because they needed to know each other and be committed to each other.
In order for us Christians to accomplish anything, we have to be committed.
If every time a soccer team went to play a game, and the teammates had to worry if little Johnny was going to run off out of fear in the middle of the game, the team would probably get nothing accomplished.
How true for us, if we're constantly having to put out internal fires motivated by fear that people are just going to leave. How can we get anything done?
Colossians 3:12-14
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
Christians need to live a life marked by love to none believers in hopes they would become a believer, but we also need to live a life marked by love with those who are in the church. This is INCLUDING LEADERS.
Love is at the center of unity, so if the unity of the team has been thrown out the window, it's not in the name of love; but in the name of selfishness and offense.
↑ That is a work of the Enemy. Division in the church.
3. You Bear the Burden of Other Members.
This requires TRANSPARENCY and VULNERABILITY from all team members.
I'll stick with my soccer friend "little Johnny" as the example:
If Johnny has a hurt ankle and doesn't share that information with the team, he will bring the whole team down. They won't be able to succeed because little Johnny won't be able to play well.
BUT if the team mates know that little Johnny is hurt, they can bear that burden and pick up the slack.
How can you trust a team member if they're not honest about their struggles? Vulnerability is what builds trust. And we can only BEAR each other's burdens if honesty, transparency, and vulnerability reside in the heart of the Christian.
Colossians 3:13
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Galatians 6:2 (AMP)
"Carry one another's burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love]."
We will display CHRISTIAN LOVE when it's given to other Christians. That's where the sharpening and growth will happen for the name of Jesus.
I will end with this:
You will know when division has entered the heart when criticism is on the tongue.
If you want to help the refugees. If you have a heart for the women at the women's march. If you don't agree with Trump. YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Don't criticize other Christians for their choices (unless they're sinful, then confront them privately), YOU do something that makes a difference.
Give money to charities that help the refugees more than Americans ever could.
Be the hands and feet of Jesus and minister to the women that have been hurt by men and have bitterness in their hearts.
Don't just criticize Trump's new mandates on Facebook, live a life that serves.
Show an example of love by the way you serve.
I pray the church would set aside our differences, that we use them to sharpen one another, but that we would be unified for the cause of Jesus. That we would GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES.
What do you say? Will you be on the same team as the Church?
Will you forgive and make a difference with us?!
Will you love your brothers and sisters in Christ?
Will you show that you are a disciple of Christ by the way you LOVE THE CHURCH, in word and action?
Will you fight against this tactic of the Enemy with me? Will you make war in prayer? Will you fight alongside me?
Believing the lies of the Enemy is what will stop the progress of the Church.
Choose today to be counted amongst those who make a change and fight for the cause of Christ!
PS! Join me in sharing this post in agreement that you're on THE TEAM! ♥

Comments? Thoughts?
6 thoughts on "Sunderland 0-0 Fulham"
Yet again we outshoot an opponent, on the road, in a 0-0 draw. Wow.
Personally, I thought we played pretty darn well. If we had any inkling of finishing could have easily won. Ho hum.
It was a good away performance . Clint should a passed to Moussa instead of going for goal. Mark's save in the last few minutes was brilliant.
I'm sure these good performances are going to convert to pints soon. It's last season all over again. Have faith my friends.
… hopefully as well as drinks I think the performances will convert to points too …
I didn't see any of the match, so to my ignorant eyes it just looks like a good point on the road against a team in a similar table position. I mean, obviously you'd rather win, but it's hardly what you'd call a "bad point" like when we couldn't beat Derby County a few years ago. I guess I'd probably feel differently if I'd watched the match and seen the chances to win.
I humbly suggest you wander over to Friends of Fulham or FulhamUSA.com and read The View From South Texas on this match.
Very humble.

The Architects Trailer (1990)
21 June 1990 Drama, Foreign 102 mins
The architect Daniel Brenner is in his late thirties when he receives his first challenging and lucrative commission: to design a cultural center for a satellite town in East-Berlin. He accepts the offer under the condition that he gets to choose who he works with. This way, he reunites with former colleagues and friends - most of them architects or students of architecture who have since chosen a different profession due to personal restraint or economic confinement. Together, they develop a concept which they hope will be more appealing to the public than the conventional and dull constructions common to the German Democratic Republic. However, their ambitious plans are once and again foiled by their conservative supervisors. As frustration grows, Daniel has trouble keeping his career in balance with his family-life: his wife Wanda wants to leave for West-Germany.

Information technology is an often overlooked but critical component to any sustainability program. The Green IT section identifies best practices across your entire IT estate. Critical issues in IT include energy conservation, paper usage and e-waste.
The Facilities section covers all of the sustainability issues associated with operating and maintaining your organization's property. Proper management of facilities can have a significant effect on energy usage, waste and the health and well being of occupants.
The Business section covers all the sustainability categories involved in operations, such as the creation and delivery of goods and services. This category also covers employees relations, supply chain, environmental issues, the community and society.
CurrentState Dashboard™ is a groundbreaking sustainability reporting and tracking tool. Dashboard™ brings all sustainability activities into one powerful platform, giving sustainability managers unparalleled insight.
CurrentState Dashboard™ is a groundbreaking sustainability reporting and tracking tool. Dashboard™ brings all sustainability activities into one powerful platform, giving sustainability managers unparalleled insight.
Dashboard is based on the Sustainability Management Framework. The framework organizes sustainability into 3 main categories and over 25 sub-categories. These sub-categories contain over 1400 sustainability Best Practices - so no detail of sustainability is overlooked. The Dashboards is customized to track your progress for every Best Practice that is relevant to your business. As tasks are completed, these are reflected in real-time in your performance scores and new tasks are generated.
Sustainability performance is calculated in real-time across all of the sustainability categories and displayed in several beautiful charts and graphs. These are found on the Dashboard tabs in the tool. The charts and graphs are all in standard Microsoft Office format, so they can be formatted and placed into documents and reports with ease. The following are the standard charts generated in Dashboard:
By distributing Dashboard to all locations, the exact same sustainability data can be gathered across an entire organization. Performance scores will compare apples-to-apple at different locations in real-time. Implementing sustainability policies, procedures, practices and new initiatives has never been easier to manage. In addition, if your supplier Code of Conduct is reflected in your Dashboard, this can be distributed to your suppliers to ensure compliance.
Unleash the power of your Supply Chain to improve your Sustainability
Unleash the power of your Supply Chain to improve your Sustainability
It is no longer enough for organizations to have sustainable operations and be considered a sustainability leader. The role of the Supply Chain is becoming more important as it receives increased scrutiny from the public, stakeholders and other companies.
Sustainability Reporting Standards such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) are also assigning more weight to Supply Chain performance, interaction and accountability. This is causing more companies to expand Scope 3 Emissions to include Supply Chain in yearly tracking and reporting.
VendorCheck™ helps bring clarity and transparency to an organization's Supply Chain. VendorCheck™ performs a 'best practices gap analysis' and a 'business practices maturity analysis' on the Supply Chain of both a purchasing organization and vendors. By doing so, an in-depth understanding of the supply chain opportunities and challenges for both parties is created.
The VendorCheck™ process could not be simpler. The VendorCheck™ Supply Chain Survey is distributed to the purchasing organization and vendors. The survey contains questions for the following business categories: Energy Management, Heating & Cooling, Lighting, Water Usage, Waste & Recycling, Sustainability Practices, Carbon Management, Green Supply Chain, Business Transportation, Goods & Services, Environment and Labor Practices.
Completed surveys are collected by the VendorCheck™ team and preparation of the Findings Reports begins. The following reports are created:
Sustainability Performance Report (Purchasing Organization) - This report summarizes the sustainability performance in all of the business categories and provides speci c Quick Wins and recommendations to improve performance.
Sustainability Performance Report (Vendors) - Vendors also receive the same performance report with Quick Wins and recommendations.
Supply Chain Report - The report summarizes the sustainability performance of a purchasing organization's supply chain. The report identifies the activities vendors are excelling at and the activities that are presenting he largest challenges.
VendorCheck™ provides many bene ts for both purchasing organizations and vendors. These are some of the most important:
Purchasing organizations can gain points on the CDP in the area of 'Supply Chain Engagement'
Purchasing organizations can develop more effective programs to address the biggest challenges facing vendors
Vendors can become more attractive and more competitive suppliers by meeting and exceeding minimum sustainability requirements.
CurrentState™ Sustainability Reports deliver powerful business intelligence. Your report will contain quick wins, recommendations and expert analysis for over 25 business sustainability categories.

Some companies block internet access except for websites that are used for work.
Be sure and lead by example, I work in a place that has blocked internet except for the leads. The leads continue to get on Social Networking Sites during work and have loud conversations about it, and call employees over to watch funny videos. It's kind of a double standard, and not really fair. Before our internet was blocked most employees didn't get on the internet for personal use until it was noticed that it seemed "acceptable" because of the use by superiors.
My other suggestion is keep the employee busy. If kept busy with projects, and sidework there isn't time for surfing the internet. (And if they are surfing the internet and not completing work, then they might need corrective action.)

Frankie Gavin to defend British title against David Barnes
Frankie Gavin will make the third defence of his British welterweight title against David Barnes on September 21st.
Last Updated: 15/08/13 5:44pm
Gavin is one win away from earning a copy of the treasured British belt to keep and his Commonwealth title will also be on the line against Barnes at the Copper Box Arena in London.
The Birmingham fighter dismantled Denton Vassell in June, breaking his opponent's jaw in the seventh round to force a stoppage after a dazzling display of his ring skills
Victory will move Gavin closer to the division's big names, but he is refusing to look past the skilful Barnes, who has held the British belt at light-welterweight and welterweight.
"This is a special night for me at the Copper Box Arena when my dream to own the Lonsdale belt will come true," said Gavin.
"I'm looking forward to this fight more than any other in my career, Barnes is a tough, tough, kid, he was a British champion at two-weights and deserves respect, but there is no way he's going to beat me on the night, no way at all.
"I took Vassell, who was an undefeated champion, apart in seven rounds and he was supposed to give me my hardest fight, so just imagine what I'm going to do to Barnes.
"I'm taking nothing for granted though, I'm going to torture myself in training and make sure that I'm the fittest, fastest and strongest I've ever been and that everyone is going to see something very special from me on the night."

Nice to meet all three of you,, Wes, Teajay and Evan.
My first chicken of the woods find
Rex replied to SteveDan's topic in Identifying MushroomsCongratulations on finding your first chicken!
That sounds delicious actually. I haven't had them in quite some time, but it is time to start looking for the 'crust'.
Smooth chanterelles. a lot of them. I've never personally found them before until today. Very fragrant. Nice mushrooms.
A few years ago, I posted a want ad on a classified site here in Canada. kijiji.com, in case you're curious. I simply said, "Wanted, mushroom field guides". I got some fantastic deals and one guy had 3 boxes of books. Mostly Dutch, I believe, but beautiful plates in every one. I got all of them for 100 dollars. I was pleased. Hopefully you can find some deal as well.
I hope so too, Sunny. I always give those that pay to go with me a copy of the Audubon and he says he's using it. We'll find out tomorrow.
Possible New Hunting Area
Rex posted a topic in General Mushroom DiscussionI took a guy on a paid foray last week and thankfully the rain had cooperated enough that we were able to find some mushrooms! Anyway, he lives close and has become a mushroom animal. I'm trying to slow him down, a little. He text messaged me this afternoon thinking he's found a huge amount of both chanterelles and hens. Until now, I've had to travel some distance to find them in my area. 7 AM meet up. Wish me/us luck.
Thanks, Sunny. Yes, the replacement cost is high and at this time, the ones i lost will have to remain lost. Sometimes, you can find a good, used copy of a particular field guide on ebay, although I haven't checked it out in a long time.
Hi Dave! As Mary stated already, yes, it is I. Good to read from you again.
Unfortunately, my copy of the above mentioned book was destroyed in a flood, along with many others. Fortunately, I was able to salvage quite a few.
Ontario Mushrooms and well maybe Quebec too
Rex replied to DufferinShroomer's topic in General Mushroom DiscussionBeautiful lobsters! I also am from Southern Ontario and lobster mushrooms in this area continue to elude me.
Rex started following shroomersue

Hey everyone. I probably know of several of you, and I'm sure many of you have never seen me around here. To be honest, I've been away from this forum for a long time, mostly due to the advent of Facebook and the insane amount of mushroom and fungi groups there. I reside in Ontario, Canada and have a great love for the outdoors. Years ago, I traded in my bows, rifles, shotguns and black powder accessories for a field guide and a mushroom knife. Having hunted morels as a small child, I was always curious about other fungi I often saw. So, for the past 15 years, I've spent as much time in the woods as possible, teaching myself, using guides and the internet to broaden my knowledge of mushrooms. I love them. To me, no greater relationship exists than that of a host tree and the fungi it helps to support. I pick for my table and I also sell to a few, select chefs. I conduct small, local forays, where folks that want to learn about common fungi, both edible and otherwise compensate me for sharing with them. Most recently, with the downturn in the economy, I've been left unemployed and existing on a fraction of what I used to make. These activities help me out. Unfortunately, when one turns to a hobby for monetary gain, something becomes lost along the way. It got to the point that I wouldn't even take the time to photograph mushrooms, always looking for what might make me a dollar. A mistake, out of necessity, you might say. Although I still make money doing what I love, I've learned to take the time to remember the love and not concentrate on the end result so much. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I take an all or nothing approach to most all I do. Cheers.
Welcome Everyone!

Somewhere over the rainbow
(OOC: I suppose I should post now... Oh, and whenever Marcus and Dancepaw are speaking Wolf, I'll have their speech surrounded by [brackets like this].)
Marcus sat on the ground away from the others. He held his bow loosely in his hands. Dancepaw was pacing around him. The pair of them were not happy. How had they been drawn into this? They weren't even guards! Dancepaw growled vaguely, sniffing the air. Marcus barked an answer back at him. Wait, he remembered. They pair of them had sniffed out a trap, so the followed the ambassador. When everything got crazy, by the grace of some quick shapeshifting, Marcus and Dancepaw had gotten out of the palace with the others. Then he followed his pack instncts and come here with the other three. Much to his annoyance.
["Trapped here like prey. This is not good!"] Dancepaw said irritatedly. Marcus growled in agreement. The others were talking about how to get out of here. But Dancepaw's griping had given him an idea.
["Prey... Prey... What does prey do best?"] Marcus growled thoughtfully. Dancepaw stopped pacing and stared at him. Marcus could almost hear his companion's mind trying to work. Marcus blinked slowly and waited for him to catch up. Dancepaw's eyes brightened when he figured it out, but he was not happy.
["You want us to turn everyone into..."] Dancepaw said, his voice trailing off. Marcus stood up and looked around. He extended his mind out and drew in more nature energy. He was going to need it for this.
["Prey, of course. You and me too,"] Marcus growled out at him. Dancepaw sputtered and began to protest, but Marcus cut him off with a sharp look.
["What is more important to you, your pride or your life?"] Marcus barked. That shut his lupine companion up.
"Ahem... I... I have an... What is the word... I have an idea. My power... It can make us... Things. Small things that can run away and hide good. Um... Things like that," Marcus said. He pointed at a rat that was crawling along the ground. He knew what he meant, but spoken language was hard for him. He hoped someone would understand what he was trying to say.
What is real? What is truth? Is it something you can touch? Can you see it? Find it? Hold it in your hands? What is true for you is not always the truth for someone else.

Just Add Ink #281 – Add your favourite 3 colours!
Well it's nearly the end of the week again – and what a week! It's all been about work work work for me. I feel like I have hardly been at home and I'm so glad it's Friday tomorrow.
So being Friday – that means a fresh new Just Add Ink Challenge – and it's a fun one this week that I know everyone can have a go at.
Just Add your favourite 3 colours!
Here's my card:
Due to my big week at work, I decided to go for something fairly simplistic. The colours I choose are Real Red, Island Indigo (blue) and Old Olive.
I chose these colours because:
Red – I like to wear Red, it's a bold, confident colour
Old Olive – Years ago, when I first was introduced to Stamping Up Old Olive was one of the first colours I purchased. I find I used it a lot on my projects. And LOL – I had an Old Olive Sweat Shirt that I used to wear on Carding nights – funny!
Island Indigo – it's Blue and I like Blue.
So join us at Just Add Ink for this Challenge. It's a fun Challenge with a fairly open theme. Check out the rest of the Design Team projects too.
Just Add Ink #280 Glimmer
Yay – it's the start of a new Just Add Ink Challenge and I think this might just be a popular one. It is Just Add Glimmer! So get out your Glimmer paper, glitter and rhinestones and get your Glimmer on!
I used Sparkle Medium to decorate this little gift back and card. I was wrapped with how it turned out.
Go to Just Add Ink to view more Design Team Glimmer projects and also to share your project with us.
Just Add Ink # 278 – Inspiration Challenge
It's Spring! I know because I can see things in the garden starting to bloom and break out little green leaves everywhere. I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather too. This week it's been a little cold here, especially in the mornings – but the days have been lovely. One night this week was the coldest September night on record for 18 years.
Anyway……we have a perfect Inspiration Challenge for Spring this week.
Here is the card I have come up for this Challenge

can i use my ipod touch at any country i go to without having any problems?
- Asked by Ainna S
1 Answer from the Community
It really depends on what problems you are referring to.
Ipod touch can be used irregardless of the location. Wifi is restricted only by encryption, so long as you know the password for the network, you'll be connected.
Problem while travelling might be adding contents to the device, since ipod can only be synced with one computer at a time. Try to sync with a different computer and all your data will be erased.
Another problem might be getting your ipod serviced if problems occur. Not all countries have Apple Retail Stores or Authorized Service Providers

Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Common Stock
Mar 11, 2016, 08:45 ET from Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from ,National Holdings, Inc.
SAN DIEGO, March 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY), ("Imprimis" or the "company"), a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary compounded drug formulations, announced today the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 2.9 million shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $3.60 per share, before underwriting discounts. In addition, the company has granted the underwriters the option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional 435,000 shares of its common stock to cover over-allotments. The offering is expected to close on or about March 16, 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Imprimis anticipates using its net proceeds from the offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, expenditures associated with the company's efforts to transition its Texas and New Jersey facilities to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and register them with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as outsourcing facilities.
National Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NHLD), is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
A registration statement on Form S-3 relating to these securities was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and was declared effective on September 29, 2014. The securities are being offered by means of a written prospectus supplement forming part of the effective registration statement. Copies of the prospectus and the final prospectus supplement relating to the offering have been filed with the SEC and may be obtained by request to the offices of National Securities Corporation, Attn: Kim Addarich, Senior Vice President, 410 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10022, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY) is a national leader in the development, production and dispensing of novel compounded pharmaceuticals. The company's two business programs, Imprimis Cares™ and Custom Compounding Choice™, focus on patient outcomes and affordability by offering high quality customizable compounded drugs in all 50 states.
