A little bit about Fasting
Ever been curious about fasting? Seeking God through discipline and denying oneself is the core principle. Gotta say, I did a full fast for 3 days (no food, only water) followed by the Daniel Fast (only fruit, veggies, whole grains, and water) for 18 days in January 2010 and I prayed for blessings for my family, but specifically for my children. A year later I was pregnant with twins. The pregnancy was without complications, the deliveries couldn't have been easier, and since birth they have been healthy, hearty little boys, thriving. I don't know if God rewarded me because of my fasting a year before, I don't know if God has kept sickness and disease away from my children because of my actions and fasting. But what if He has? What if He did? What if He is? All 4 of my children are beautiful, smart, funny, and healthy.
I'm going to go off track for a sec, to address the idea that fasting is just another crazy practice wacko spiritual people do to lose weight, hallucinate, see visions from God, hear voices, etc. I'll admit, fasting can sound extreme if you don't fully understand its purposes. But to understand it, or at least respect it, you have to understand other stuff too.
All of us, everyday we wake up, we make a decision, to either believe there is a great design to our lives, or there is no design at all. We decide whether we are haphazardly living, trying to make the best of what life throws at us, or we decide that everything thrown at us has purpose and reason, whether it's good or bad.
I think of Neo in The Matrix. Good ole Neo, remember? Morpheus gave him the option of taking the blue pill, which would allow him to continue to view the world around him without the knowledge of the entire truth, or the red pill, which would open his eyes to see the world from an entirely different, not always beautiful, perspective.
If someone doesn't see life from a spiritual perspective, if they can't muster up enough faith to believe that there may be unseen forces at work, if they can't help but assume that all spiritual people are feeble minded and in need of a crutch to get through life, they have selected their pill. Spiritually driven people have swallowed a different color pill. Both believe adamantly that they're right. We've all, as adults, chosen our pill, and now view our world with different lenses.
Back to fasting...
I believe God is good, and good things come from his hands. I believe He has amazing plans for 2013 for those who truly are seeking Him and are trying to understand His will. So I want to be prepared to receive the blessings, I want to grow (spiritually--we all know there's no hope for me to get taller) and I want to know God's will for my life. For these reasons, I'm considering starting a Daniel Fast on January 6th. I say considering because it takes a lot of planning and discipline and I will not commit if I can't give it my all.
Besides spiritual awareness and maturity, there are great health benefits to this fasting stuff too. It's like a Vegan diet with a little more restriction. Check out the video if you're curious. Author Susan Gregory gives a pretty clear explanation of what the Daniel Fast is all about.
I feel very exposed when I blog about my personal thoughts. It's safer to just write about other people. I'll get back to that soon.

Some musings about Santa and December
I love December so much! Santa Claus comes to town, Jesus celebrates his birthday for the 2,000+ time, candles get lit, family gets together, and then the whole thing culminates in a goodbye to 2012. Although yesterday marked the twins turning 15 months old, which is shocking and scary how fast life is going, I still consider December to be pretty fantastic. My birthday kicks it off, and even though I had to turn an ugly number I still enjoyed getting pampered and shown extra affection by my family and friends. Ryan even bought me a new laptop to mark this birthday. I haven't had a new computer since I was a freshman in college, and it was such a fond memory, getting my own room for the first time in my life, AND a new computer! So this private treasure brings back fond memories and I'm in love with this thing. It smells like scotch tape and the keyboard lets me just fly. (I like the smell of scotch tape--can't explain.)
December isn't without hardships, I know. Just last week my dad experienced loss of vision in his right eye, was admitted to the hospital for testing--they feared it was a brain tumor pushing against his optic nerve, or it was caused by a heartattack or stroke. Test results showed nothing like that, so he's going to follow up in Miami with a neuro eye specialist sometime soon. We don't have any answers, and his vision hasn't returned in that spot. Still, our family gets to experience peace that passes all understanding because we have a faith that God is in control of all areas of our lives for any who accept him as their lord (lord means master, boss, authority, fyi).So even in this scary situation, I just remember to look up and trust. A Christian's life is no less problematic than any other's, we just try to respond in a way that would eventually produce perseverance and endurance. And since this is a a blog about December, I feel compelled to share with any interested that God loves you and me equally, every nation, every background, every religious practice, every color, and every lifestyle, with a greater love than we can even understand. He gave his only son to us, the "reason for the season", and the story of Christmas is a beautiful, tragic, and triumphant thing. From a mother's perspective, the thought of giving my baby away to be ultimately tortured and killed is a horrific thought.
Anyway. That's another blog.
December is fun because my siblings are all together at some point, we get to sing and harmonize and laugh together, ring the salvation army bell, I can share my babies with them, and it makes me all warm and fuzzy. In Key West December is fun because we get to pretend like it's cold, and we can wear jeans without leaving butt sweat marks on them. We can bring northern smells like pine and cider and cinnamon into the house. Palm trees, rooftops, and windows all over the island get lit up and even the ugliest houses and yards can look magical (from a distance). Conchtrains are decorated and twinkle with Christmas lights as they pass at night, bringing locals around to see the transformation and sing Christmas carols. Church attendance is up. People who don't usually think about Jesus at all have a chance to pause and reflect on his birth. And I think that makes Jesus happy, so it makes me happy too.
Being a mom in December is super fun too. I get permission to buy toys and gifts for people, I get to send pictures of my gorgeous family out in the hopes that you will put us on your refridgerator, I get to pretend like magic has infiltrated our house and elves fly at night, reporting to Santa all of the doings of the day. When we adopted our Elf on the Shelf two years ago, Luke named him Frisbee. Every morning it's the first thing Juliette says, still rubbing her eyes and letting them adjust to the lights in the hall, "Where's Fisbee?" And my two munchkins run up and down the house, helping each other , working together to find where he's hiding. He's not mischievious as some of your kooky elves are. Thankfully he doesn't knit or eat all of our food or toilet paper the bathroom. He's all business. And in case you don't know, the business of a scout elf is simply to fly to the north pole each night and report to Santa, then return home again, never talking to the family you live with or let them touch you, else your magic will diminish (Santa's rules). If you haven't jumped on the elf wagon, I highly recommend it. http://elfontheshelf.com/
Luke is in 1st grade. I've been thinking a lot the past few days about the Santa stuff. I know some parents who never kept up the fascade with their kids. When the kid asked, "Is Santa real?" the parents just told them the truth. The good parents will then warn and threaten their child with severe consequences if they run and tell the other children. And I really appreciate that, for my kids' sake.
My mother, on the other hand, lied. And lied. And lied. I had suspicion, reasonable doubt, and facts (like Toys R Us receipts, how tired my parents seemed every Christmas morning) but I didn't want to stop believing. When I asked my mom to please tell me the truth, she pulled me real close and said, "Ok, you're old enough to know the truth...the elves are not real. That's just silly stuff for little kids. But Santa definitely is real. He just gets toy donations from hundreds of stores to fill the requests."
So I went on another year or two hoping she wasn't a liar. I was afraid to ask her again, and afraid to ask my friends because I knew what their answer would be, and I really wanted Santa to be real. I went back and forth, but by 6th grade I was ready to let him go into the fantasy graveyard, where he now rests peacefully between the graves of the toothfairy and Peter Cottontail. It was hard to comes to terms with the fact that my mother lied straight to my face, without a blink. I know, 6th grade is old. You must think me the foolish little girl who dreamed that it could happen. But I'd like to think it wasn't foolish so much as hopeful. And for many years after, I was secretly disappointed in my mom. She was supposed to be one of the most trustworthy adults in my life. And you may still be chuckling that I was in 6th grade when I let it all go, but the laugh is on you, because my Christmas's were more magical because of my delusion. I was also blessed to experience many many more years of his magic because I had 4 younger siblings.
As a mother now, entering the "santa years", I can appreciate my mother's reasons. For her it marked the end of a sweet area of our childhood, and she didn't want it to happen. Watching your babies grow is beautiful, but bittersweet. It's hard to swallow that Luke is 6 and reading chapter books, and doesn't need me to read them to him anymore. Little Juliette, barely 4, tells me not to worry, when she's married she and her husband will still visit me. Jackson and Lincoln are 15 months, walking, eating pizza, laughing at my antics, and trying to communicate in some crazy toddler speak. And I don't think I want them to grow anymore. I would like to freeze their ages and hear Juliette say things like, "can I wayor the pink sess? it's adoeeyble" and "mommy's favit colo is feen" and "I see a "wed fyo fuk (fire truck..."r's"and consonant blending difficulties) When the day comes that Luke asks me about the ugly Santa truth, I'll probably evade the question, I will redirect, I will try to keep the magic alive, but if he asks me point blank, I'll also respect him enough to tell him the truth--I think. Someday. For now, in this December, I'll try really hard to focus on the present-- the beautiful moments I get to live each day with my family and these adorable kids. And while the magic lasts, I will soak it up, bottle it up, and keep it safe until next December.

I recently went from a rooted stock 4.1.2 to the 4.3 rom here:and now every time I connect my s3 to my computer its connecting as an installer and not as a MTP device. I was able to correct this issue on the 4.1.2 rom by accessing the qualcomm usb settings menu in phoneutil and switching the modes to "MTP + ADB." Is there a similar setting in 4.3 I can access to prevent my s3 from connecting as an installer?

All the four accused in the gangrape have been declared guilty of all the charges that were filed against them, by the Saket court. The fast-track court in Delhi has convicted all four men for the rape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedical student.
One of the accused, Ram Singh was found dead in Tihar Jail
The arguments on the sentencing of the four convicts will take place on Wednesday. The court has held the four men guilty of 13 offences including gangrape, unnatural offence, murder, dacoity, conspiracy, kidnapping and destruction of evidence.
The defense lawyer claimed that the verdict was politically motivated in the interest of public. "This verdict is politically motivated for the interest of the people. We will have to go to High Court. This is not a fair trial," Singh said. He added that they will challenge the verdict in a higher court.
During the trial, Ram Singh was found dead in Tihar Jail on March 11 and court proceedings against him stand abated. The minor, who was 17-and-half years old at the time of the incident and turned 18 during the trial, was held guilty by the Juvenile Justice Board and sent to three years in a correctional home, the maximum term permissible under the Juvenile Justice Act.

Rapper and business magnate 50 Cent was at his funny best when he launched his SMS Audio line on the sidelines of the Gitex Technology Week in Dubai on Wednesday.
"SMS Audio is an extension of my music. You can steal my music but you can't steal these headphones," he joked.
"I have been involved with every aspect from the technology to the marketing. I wanted to do this properly and not just put my name or face to it" Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson
Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, who gained fame after his seminal album "Get Rich or Die Tryin" released in 2003, has since built a business empire moving into film production, energy drinks and fashion accessories.
SMS Audio, launched earlier this year at the CES in Las Vegas, has been many years in the making, he said.
"I have been involved with every aspect from the technology to the marketing. I wanted to do this properly and not just put my name or face to it."
In the Middle East, proceeds from sales of SMS Audio headphones in November will go to Dubai Autism Centre, it was announced.
50 Cent teased a reporter who asked him if he was worried about competition from a particular brand - referring to Beats by Dr Dre.
"Are you scared [to say the name]?" he joked, adding he was confident of his product's superiority.
He also joked that he was constantly haunted by "In da club" the worldwide hit from "Get Rich Or Die Tryin".
"I've made so many albums but it seems like I am always referred to with this song. I'm having a nervous breakdown right now," he laughed, as the song played in the background.

M y twin preschoolers are all over the internet. I genuinely delight in capturing and sharing every adorable little moment of their lives. Snapping photos without abandon, I relish in every like, thumbs-up, or share that each photo receives. From Instagram to Facebook, their tiny little faces – along with embarrassing anecdotes about potty training (or the lack thereof) – have been irrevocably immortalized on the World Wide Web for all to see.
I recently read an article on Slate.com written by a woman named Amy Webb. Mrs. Webb happens to be on the opposite end of the sharing spectrum. In her article, she shuns over-sharers like myself and seemingly admonishes anyone who could be so "reckless" with their children's identities.
Amy made the executive decision prior to her daughter being born, that she would take control of her little girl's digital footprint from the beginning. Her and her husband researched their child's name, making sure there was no negative content associated with it. Then Amy created an email account and social media accounts in her unborn daughter's name; and once Amy and her husband deem their daughter "mature enough", they plan on handing her the passwords to her accounts, giving her the opportunity to begin "cashing in on parts of her digital identity".
Amy and her husband did a few other things to protect their child's identity. Their primary concerns were that the advances in data mining and facial recognition technology will ultimately mean that the digital footprints that we create for our children today could hurt their chances of being admitted to college or even affect employment prospects in the future. I personally believe that this is a bit of a reach, but I encourage you to read the piece. It may inspire you. It may scare the crap out of you; but I encourage you to educate yourselves and form your own opinions.
Are Amy and her husband smart in choosing to take steps to "protect" their daughter? Sure. Does it make me wrong or irresponsible for not doing the same? Absolutely not.
I won't deny the fact that social media can be problematic; but Amy's approach seems like a bit of an overreaction if not downright obsessive. She went on to end her article by basically reprimanding her friends for sharing pictures of their children online – quite pretentious if you ask me. The beauty in being a parent is having the ability to decide for yourself how you're going to go about parenting.
My husband and I have made the decision to publicly display photos that involve our parenting journey because we take great joy in cultivating a community where we can collectively share in our children's failures and successes. Every comment that I receive on my blog or Facebook fan page from a parent telling me of how relieved they are that they're "not the only one" only reaffirms for me that I'm creating a meaningful dialogue about life and parenting that actually helps people. Parenting is hard. Knowing that you have a supportive community of like-minded individuals that are only a keyboard click away is an often underutilized tool given this social media age that we live in.
Outside of the cathartic aspect, blogging, and sharing my children with the world is something that I personally deem necessary. Positive depictions of African American families and children within social media come few and far between in today's society. In a previous article, I wrote at length on how portrayals of families like mine are needed in my community; and I stand by that strongly. Telling me that I'm careless for sharing my children – to me – is a careless statement in and of itself.
Contrary to what Amy, and people like Amy, believe, I respect my children, their lives, and their privacy. I do not publicly share photos of them that contain our address or divulgences of our location. I'm also quite adamant about not sharing photos of my children partially nude or in the tub – no matter how cute the image may be. (Diaper photos don't count as I don't know of anyone who doesn't appreciate an adorable diaper clad baby.)
If there are days when my children aren't receptive to being filmed or photographed, I do not push them. For those of you who may follow me regularly, you may have noticed that there are times where I may photograph one of my children more than the other. That's usually because the child who is absent may have had a week where they weren't feeling particularly social. I respect that and leave them out of publications accordingly. The next week without fail, that same child is clamoring to be in front of my camera lens.
I blog and post to social media channels as responsibly as I can; and when and if the day comes when my children are tired of being "exploited" by their dear mother and are wary of having their personal lives plastered across the internet for all to see, I will handle it with grace, respect their wishes, and concentrate my efforts elsewhere – just like any good parent would.
How do you feel about sharing photos of your kids online? Are you strongly against it? Are you apathetic? Let me see your thoughts in the comments.
Like what I'm preaching? Share it with your peeps! >>

Hey there, Kesha! You already know how I feel since you stopped by and showed some love on a similar post of mine (http://mommieandwee.org/children-on-social-media/). I think it's great that you share your kids with the world! I mean who can resist those little giggles and smiles! I personally just don't want to be 'that girl' that's always posting about her children. I'm a recent graduate of college, and am the mother of twins at the age of 22. Needless to say, the majority of my social media followers are not the 'target audience' for parenting posts and things of that nature. So, that's one of the main reasons why I shy away from TL flooding with baby pics. But, at the end of the day, as long as you and your husband are on the same page about what is acceptable for y'alls family, that is all that matters. My boo thang and I made the decision to be somewhat selective with what we share, and that has worked for us!
P.S. I love your blog. The end.
This is a great post about such an important topic that all parents should at least consider and discuss. You have a great perspective on why you posts pictures, and I totally relate to the communal aspect of sharing with family & friends and building a dialogue about parenthood. Right on.
I will say that as far as those pictures hindering kids' opportunities in the future, in my previous job at an IT company, we did look at social media profiles of potential hirees and form judgements of them. Granted, they were responsible for the pictures that were posted (as opposed to their parents) but it DID make an impression with us (the ones doing the hiring), good or bad.
For me personally, I was all about posting pictures until it one day dawned on me that my daughter didn't give her consent. That single thought was enough for me to take a hiatus from posting pictures of her online. I still post one here and there but I am much more reserved about it now.
I wrote about his recently, actually: http://bit.ly/1b4MUWB
What I've always found odd about the "don't put pictures on the internet because people can find you that way" argument is that every day we leave our houses and anyone can, well, see us. Yes, it's true that it's not millions of people, but does it matter if millions of people who don't know you see you? And how can anyone search for a picture of what you look like without already having an idea of who you are? If they know you well enough to have enough info to search for you, they've probably already seen you. The cat's out of the bag! Hehehehehe… I also find it odd when I see articles about protecting your child's privacy by not posting pictures in public places in parenting magazines…which are full of pictures of babies and children! I guess because a child is a professional model it makes it "safe" to reproduce their image a million times? If you're paid it's different? I'm just not sure I get it… But in all honesty, I think no one cares as much about their kids pictures as the parents do. It's kind of flattering to think everyone is clambering for another look and will use all technological advances to find more pics…but really?? Who has that kind of time??

October 2012... PELVIC FLOORS!(1000 Posts)
And squeeze!
off to wales today... longest car journey we've ever done with pippa. i must be nuts
Ah Cwest you are having a worrying time. I know lots if HV can be nobbers but they do see and refer a lot of babies. Hopefully if she not too concerned then she is correct. As everyone had said, you have a beautiful happy girl whatever the outcome. I know nothing about hydrocephalus. Is there a hereditary component? Naomi was really our only premature baby, wasn't she? So we would expect her to be a bit behind on her milestones. You say she is meeting them when you adjust her age, so that is promising. And they are all so so different. My DS is not very 'chatty' at all compared to some. He does make plenty of noise, tho. Often v angry! But he is still often v serious.
Glad to hear DS is coming along so well. You were really worried about the effects on him, having a new baby, weren't you? Sounds like he has grown up a little, just as he should, and is thriving on being the big brother, not the baby! That is wonderful. You must be so proud.
Hopefully your appointment comes soon. I can't imagine they delay too much with this kind of assessment? Keep us posted.
shell massive sympathies on the night wakenings. We've been there and no doubt will be there again and it's tough. No doubt though it will pass. We're at awake every 3 hours which is good for us and manageable for me.
squid your spa day sounds lovely - very jealous. Think I might organise one for myself sometime soon.
I've come downstairs with DD to let DH have a lie in. He worked until 2.30am to get what he needed to done so he could spend the day with us. DD is asleep on me - I love these moments so quiet and peaceful. I'm contemplating a day out at ikea.
Oops posted too soon. We've nearly finished the nursery and I want to get a few more bits and pieces - i've seen an idea to use spice racks for bookshelves which I'm quite excited about.
london you should definitely get in touch with the local children's centre and go to some baby groups, I've been going persistently for a while now and met a couple of lovely mums. Obviously they're not all my cup of tea but you gradually gravitate towards those that you would get on with regardless.
mickey good luck with the car journey. I always feel a bit apprehensive about car journeys but remind myself that you can always stop at a service station at any point if needed.
Happy Sunday everyone.
Last comment - I don't know where this link came from, possibly someone on this thread but I re-found it in my bookmarks this morning. It gives loads of great play ideas, mostly for older children but still very inspirational even for our little ones.
Well, we are all a complete mess here except the baby this morning! Dd1 up 4 or 5 times in the night - really unusual for her - crying hysterically about feeling snotty and poorly and having a sore nose. She still isn't great this morning and is obviously exhausted. Have stuffed her back into bed with a Beatrix potter story cd playing in hopes that she will rest. I've got a hacking cough and temp of 38.8 - in between the babys hourly wakings and dd1 couldn't sleep anyway because was shivering too much. Dh did the bulk of sorting kids last night ie everything except the breastfeeding so at least I never had to leave the bed. Have left him in bed to have a lie in - hoping that if he can sleep s long as possible now he can look after the rest of us for the remainder of the day. Meanwhile my gorgeous baby is cooing delightfully as though butter wouldn't melt. And pooing every 5 mind obviously!
Trying to express here. Feels like blood from a stone. Gah!
oh smiley, u r having such a tough time! cannot believe on top of everything else u r selling ur house & are now sick
elpis, that cinema experience sounds horrid & really sorry to hear about what's happening with work.
can't expect much sympathy as we have had a good little sleeper, but dd is 4 months thurs & i think 4 month sleep regression has well & truly hit. she woke every 1-2 hrs. feel like crap today. how long does it last, in people's experience? thx for all the support re the pub requesting i b/f in the toilet. dp took it upon himself to draft a letter to the management, & while it was not as arsey as i would have liked it to be, i thought it was lovely he took the time, so we sent it off & got a big apology; reassurance they welcome b/f mums & an offer of a free meal. would be hideously awkward taking them up on their meal offer, but am confident the next stressed out mummy needing desperately to feed a hungry baby will be welcomed. anyone heard from yomping?
Cwest how fab that naomi is a good sleeper! i understand that the hv concerns would make you nervous - would to any of us. That sounds scary for you but do try not to worry. i hope they can do the tests soon to put your mind at rest. But chuckles re boobies question
Smiley you seem to be having a helluva time with colds and illness. Hopefully this will be your last batch of the winter.
Liesbeth, god luck with expressing. I find it doesn't happen if I'm stressed, so much better off doing it whilst watching crap tv. That's my excuse anyway! And no rolling here either.
Olives. A day at ikea. For fun? Crazy lady!!
Mickey. Hope the journey worked out ok. I was more fearful of the long journey to my parents than I needed to be.
Elpis my sympathy on the job / twitter situation. It sounds stressful. I hope the VR comes good, or something else. I did laugh about the poonami saga, though probably shouldn't. Sounds a bit eek (ie you wish you could clone yourself but can't). On the SAHM front, DF and I have a joint bank account and I just spend what needs to be spent. I don't feel at all guilty buying things dd needs, but bought myself the cheapest possible jeans (16quid from tesco) when I needed some. It's odd. Hopefully it'll feel less odd in time. DF protested about the cost of baby swimming lessons, for example, even though that's the only course I do with her. I pulled the "what price your daughter's safety?" card... I do want to get started with teaching yoga soon, but need sleep to have the energy, plus a childminder. Hum.
Things have been a bit more family this weekend as DF has no assignments due. I even managed to entice him out to the cafe this morning as a family (probably the first time since paternity leave). We also tried to out for dinner last night... Normally dd is asleep by 630 or 645 so the plan was to go to a vegetarian restaurant which has vegan dishes, so then I only have to watch out for soy. Except it didn't remotely o to plan. Dd reused to eat or sleep and we had a very tense hour of me jiggling her on my knee, offering boob, dummy, cuddles etc, in a very quiet, very adult, restaurant. We wolfed our food down and left. We need to find a babysitter, clearly!
So incredibly impressed that you pulled off a spa day, squid! Well done.
turnwest how you getting on?
cwest lovely to see you! sounds worrying, hope all ok. your ds sounds gorgeous
elpis oh god, grim theatre trip. well done you for keeping it all together.
dh away a night this week. dreading it as ds2 currently waking twice to feed then up for day at 4am. no chance of a shower or anything. it's just going to be hideous.

Ladies, I have been following your thread as my DD was born on 20 Oct. It is an amazing forum and very supportive and positive which encouraged me to post. It has kept me going it the dark hours of sleep deprivation and tirednes and made me laugh and cry! I did not do any classes before DD's birth as I worked until the last minute and thought sicne she is DC3 it will come back, but oh boy was I wrong! This is how I found the thread and your shared experience priceless. I hope it is not too late to join?
Thanks for all the support you lovely ladies. I'm sure the HV OS just taking precautions like she said. I won't stop worrying, but I love my daughter regardless, and whatever the outcome, at least I can vent on here I don't think hydrocephalus IS hereditary, it will be more of a coincidence if she does have it.
Angelico I remember now, you had your ELCS the day before me! Remember how scared we were? Looking back, it was far easier than I imagined, although I wouldn't want the after pains or high bp ever again! I'm also SOOOO glad I was awake to see her birth (was put to sleep with DS ELCS as epidural was deemed unsafe for me 5 yrs ago) However these past 5 months have flown by! It's already been over a yr since she was concieved, (valentines day, ha!)
Just think ladies, in no time at all it will be their first birthdays. Scary.
Oh and I won't be a stranger, I have a feeling this thread is going to keep me going this year. Love to all xxx
welcome cavatina and congrats on your lo!
Hey CWest! We put out some shout outs to you over the last few months, so glad to see you back! Really sorry to hear about concerns but hopefully all will be well and they are erring on the side of caution. I thought you had your DD the day before me? Our bean was born on the Tues - she'll be 22 weeks this Tues. How is that even possible?!
Lovely weekend away - spa hotel so clearly the spa thing was catching on Spent some v relaxing time in jacuzzi and sauna. Would write more but have just discovered my complete arsebadger of a 'D'H unplugged the fridge freezer in his unplugging zeal before we left the house and now have to chuck out about a hundred quid's worth of food. We only discovered this fact because I went to get some ice cream and found it liquid I need another sauna!!!
Gahhhhhhhh, fucking men!!!
I want ice cream
Welcome cavatina and welcome back cwest!! Cwest I hope everything is ok with Naomi. Very very nerveracking but hopefully the HV is just being extra cautious. Thinking of you.
Elpis hats off to you re: theatre trip - I think you handled things admirably!! That angry woman needs a slep though. By the sounds of things your DS was delighted with himself at doing a poonami and then getting to frolick about naked.
FANTASTIC teething thing - Tommy Tippee teether/dummy/mouthguard things - picked them up at Tesco last night. Really, really good as DS keeps dropping his teething ring. We can leave these in his mouth and he can happily bite as hard as he likes - harder than he can with the teething ring, and if he tried to bit his fingers that hard he'd cry. Annoyingly you can only sterilise in Milton though, not in microwave.
Tesco babygros are cute and better value than Mothercare I reckon, too.
Lisbeth I feel your pain!! What setup are you using the express with?
Right so after seeing the video of BabyLondon rolling, DH got DS naked before his bath this evening and was manually rolling him around on a blanket on the carpet DS seemed suitably entertained but no closer to rolling of his own accord!
Feeling snuffly and sick and feeling very very jel of Squid's spa trip the other day...!!
Angelico I would goddam murder your DH. If mine did that I'd freak and he'd be all ''what's the point in getting angry? You get too angry. It's done now" and turn it all around. Men are nobbers.
Poor Lisbeth on the expressing. In hope that it comes back. I must say, the relief to not have to express given my decision to combination feed is immense. I found the expressing so very difficult. I felt like such a failure at it. (Silly nobber)
My combo feeding going well. Reducing a daytime feed every 6 days. By time I'm full time back to work will be night and morning only. Remains to be seen if this will work but given my slow reduction I am hopeful. Have swapped midnight feed to formula to see if helps sleep (doesn't!) and my what a faff!! The thought of 3 night feeds via bottle is mental. Tho I assume if volume up by then he won't need 3 bloody night feeds........??????
Welcome Cavatina. You'll find a Cosy seat here!!
Oh heard about a friend of a friend today with a 5 week old who she affectionately calls bean! Wonder is she a MNer???
Angelico hope you well and enjoying beautiful intermittent glorious sun on the coast
if u can see it for all the nobbin tourists I'm sure it is glorious!! Some day some day we shall come visit!
Sorry, minor catchup as ever......
Zara. We have those. I chuck em in steam steriliser. But DS gags on them and looks at me all hurt..... Is quite entertaining.
Angelico Some workmen switched off our freezer once and I lost loads of expressed milk. Infuriating!
We drove down to south London to see some friends this lunchtime, which was lovely - they have 3 DCs and lots of toys - but I just can't drink any more. Had a lovely glass of Bordeaux and then didn't finish it so I could have a tiny amount of pudding wine. It absolutely knocked me for six - awful headache, exhaustion. DH got back from Singapore yesterday and is off to DC for three days tomorrow. Oh God. On top of that I have to take DS into London tomorrow while DD is at preschool to meet a bloody annoying friend of my mother's. So the two hours I'd otherwise get with just DS, which keeps me sane, is gone. But this woman 'borrowed' some of my mum's diaries three years ago and seems incapable of posting them back, so I have to meet her.
Sorry for the whingeing. In three weeks this ridiculous phase of DH's travel will be over.
huffle I brought him in the melty ice cream soup, ranting about 'There's been a power cut while we were away! I must ask the neighbours!' and he kindof smirked and said, 'Erm... I might have switched the freezer off.' So the nobbing nobber wasn't even going to tell me so everything would have refrozen and I would have eaten it and perished horribly (PS: Do come and visit - PM me if you're up this way! I need ice cream more than ever! )
Elpis rage over expressed milk! I only had one pack but it was my get out of jail free pack. BTW I can't work out what your DH does for a living - is he a) a travel journalist b) a businessman? c) Jason Bourne??? Actually if he's Jason Bourne, don't tell me, I don't want him to have to kill me...
Night all x
London, we've just had 4 nights of difficulty settling, repeated waking and 2.5 hourly feeding. Although I refused to acknowledge sleep regression, it did put me in mind of the newborn days. I was getting really worried about how long it was going to last, because combined with hardly any daytime naps and general grumpiness, it was doing me in. But fingers crossed we're through it now as the last 2 nights were back to normal - approx 6hrs, quick feed, 3.5hrs. And last night he went straight down, no settling.
Was this sleep regression, or wonder week 17? I have no idea.
Like BabyBora, he seems to be doing more since - content, even more active, loads more sounds, rolling regularly and very accurate with his hands. So worth it in the end. Phew.
Well done on keeping it together on your nightmare theatre trip Elpis, don't know what I would have done. These things always happen at the worst time, don't they? Very impressed with your daughter staying in the theatre by herself.
@ Jason Bourne Angelico and at the freezer incident! Glad you didn't perish along with your perishables. I think I'd weep if I lost my all my expressed milk...
Welcome Cavatina! What ages are your other kids?
And welcome back CWest! Sorry to hear about your worries, hopefully the health visitor is just being cautious but whatever happens, like you said, she'll still be your brilliant, beautiful DD. Of course you won't stop worrying, so I hope you can get the results soon.
Can't believe you're sick again Smiley, get well soon.
We left DS with someone else (MIL) for the first time on Saturday. They had a great time, as did we - nice lunch, shopping and bowling. Was great to eat with 2 hands for a change, but there were loads of babies in the restaurant so I missed DS. Idiot.
We also went out for dinner the 3 of us last night, which we often do, but this time DS was an angel - kicking and chatting quietly on the bench the whole time. I could actually relax with him there for a change.
Aqua aerobics again yesterday, but not yet cracked open the Shred DVD. I'm scared!
Flying back to the UK in 2 weeks, better start getting organised as I'm bad enough when I only have to pack for myself.
Why won't my baby go the fuck to sleep?? I want to scream. This is getting ridiculous, worse than when he was newborn. And now the reflux med means I don't know whether to just feed him without it overnight as I have to give it 15m before feed 4 times a day. Too exhausted to wait 15m with him screaming overnight, so I just feed, then -5m later he's screaming in pain anyway. Aghhhhh.
Sympathies Smorg. I've been awake more than I've been asleep tonight. This is just totally fucked up.

My friend Dominique came out last weekend for a girls getaway, so I did what I do best — plan us a weekend full of fun activities, starting with San Francisco. Because Dominique is a total fashionista, I made sure we hit up the Haight-Ashbury district for some thrift stores, and then some late dinner in Hayes Valley. But not before some brunch {and early dessert} at the Waterbar.
San Francisco
When our tour bus never showed up at Union Square {sad}, we made the best of it. The trolley line was too long, so we spent a good hour or so at H&M and then jetted off to Alamo Square to see the famous Painted Ladies, as seen on Full House. I've been wanting to see these houses FOREVER. It's a beautiful park where people lounge around and picnic, walk their dogs and throw the frisbee. Such a great "find" – I highly recommend! We stopped at a local corner ice-cream / pie shop to feed our sweet tooth, and then headed home to meet the boys back in the Cruz. That blue sky is to die for, and so are all the houses in this neighborhood!
Miss Heather and I headed to San Francisco this past weekend for a cheesy bus tour of the city, and drove up the night before to stay with her aunt & uncle – even drove down Lombard Street {they live a block away!}. Their house is the epitome of houses you only imagine exist in San Francisco. Views of the bay, multi-floor, hidden rooms and a wall of book shelves. Their home belongs in a movie. I woke up to a beautiful, blue morning. We made some coffee, watched some funny videos on You Tube {have you guys seen Kai?} and then hit up Pier 32 for monster breakfast sandwiches. It was so wonderful waking up in San Francisco:)
Since it was my sister's first time in San Francisco, I wanted to find a hotel that was in the heart of everything. So, using hotels.com I went searching for the most central, cost-effective and unique hotel I could find. The Hotel des Arts was exactly that!
I love that it showcases the work of local artists and serves both as an art gallery and hotel. The art was electrifying throughout and the staff was just the right amount of friendly and bubbly I love. The art in every hallway, stairway and room really made the hotel come to life and the experience rather unforgettable!
I am definitely going back to this hotel! Plus, they have free continental breakfast. It made my world.
Sorry I've been so MIA! My sister came for her birthday last weekend and I'm still getting over her leaving. We had such a wonderful weekend, I miss her so much already.
As soon as I picked her up from the airport we headed straight into San Francisco. I hadn't been since my mini-moon {a smaller version of a honeymoon} so I was ecastic to be going back, especially since we live so close now. And being the semi-good planner that I am, I planned us a wicked itinerary to get through in 30 hours. And boy did we power-through it! As soon as we got in, we checked into our hotel {more on the hotel later}.
The ferry back to the pier was nice and we did one more walk-through to Ghirardelli Square so Pam could enjoy a birthday, chocolately, ice-cream delight!
I got the very berry and Pam ordered the peanut butter chocolate sundae and after one bite I wish I had too. It was great visiting with the people in the parlor. We really didn't want to leave. But this gives us an excuse to go back and do even more!

Roush Fenway Racing press release
Six for Six for the No. 6; Stenhouse Jr., No. 6 Team Lock in on Title Run
CONCORD, N.C. (Sept. 30, 2011) – With only six races remaining in the season, Roush Fenway driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., remains in first place in Nationwide Series point standings, as the No. 6 Blackwell Angus Team continues its strong bid to bring Roush Fenway its sixth NASCAR championship. Strong performance has been the key to the team's success to this point and Stenhouse knows that will be the key during the stretch run.
We are very comfortable with the races remaining and I'm excited to get to all of these tracks.
"We have six more races and we have to bring the best cars to the race track we can and we have to make the most of our opportunities," said Stenhouse. "We have met about it and talked about it and we understand that we cannot make mistakes, and if we stay focused and do our jobs we have a great shot.
"Our cars are good enough and our team is fast enough for sure," added the 2010 NNS rookie of the year. "We just have to capitalize on what we have right now and the situation that we have been fortunate enough to put ourselves into."
Stenhouse and company have 12 top-five finishes, 20 top 10s, two wins and three poles in the first 28 races of 2011, and they are about to embark on a stretch that saw the team turn its fortunes around last season and close out the season with three top-10 finishes during the stretch.
"We are very comfortable with the races remaining and I'm excited to get to all of these tracks," said Stenhouse. "Dover is going to be a good one. We finished fourth there earlier in the year. We did not run as well as we wanted to the first race, but I think what we learned is going to play out very well for us this weekend.
"Kansas was probably one of our best runs last year; we finished sixth and ran top five much of the race," added Stenhouse. "That race last season really kick-started what we were able to do the rest of the season. Charlotte, we finished fourth there in the fall and sat on the pole earlier, so we are looking forward to getting back there for some night racing, and the last three are probably my favorite stretch of the entire season."
"We like where we are," said Stenhouse. "We would like to be a little further ahead, but if you had of told us going into the year that we would be leading with six to go, I think we would have been pretty happy with that. We will just have to go from there and finish this thing strong. We know what our goals are and we know what is at the end and now we just have to go out and perform like we have all season."
Roush Fenway Racing has five won titles across all three of NACSAR's major series, including two in the Nationwide Series. Stenhouse is looking to become the fifth driver to win a NASCAR championship for Jack Roush and company.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Communities In Schools of Pittsburgh-Allegheny County, Springdale, PA, USA
When I switched schools from EF to CIS, I started to show up to school on a regular basis. My grades are a lot better now and I'm going to graduate on time. When I first started CIS, I was behind about 3 and a half credits. Now after attending only about 6 months, I am actually ahead on credits but I'm still learning a lot.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
students that have graduated after dropping out or getting kicked out of public high school. They are all happy to have finally graduated.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

text: Johannesburg - South African newspaper editors and journalists paid tribute, on social networking site Twitter, to Daily Sun founder Deon du Plessis, who died at his home in Johannesburg on Sunday."Deon du Plessis. A brother editor and a maestro of the red tops. He taught us a thing or two. Rest in peace," wrote City Press editor Ferial Haffajee."Sad news about Deon, one of the more colourful characters in print in recent years. Condolences to Vanessa and family," The Star newspaper's editor, Moegsien Williams wrote.Du Plessis was an Argus Africa journalist, after which he became the editor of the Pretoria News and then managing director of Gauteng newspapers at Independent Newspapers, where he came up with the idea of the Daily Sun.He then left Independent and joined Media24, who helped fund the newspaper with him.The Daily Sun is a tabloid which shook the newspaper industry, uncovering a whole new layer of newspaper readership amongst lower income groups.Another brain child of Du Plessis was the Sunday Sun."Condolences to all at the Daily Sun, all his colleagues, family and friends. #RIP #Deonduplessis," The Mercury editor Angela Quintal wrote on Twitter."Deon du Plessis, publisher of the Daily Sun & one of characters of South African #journalism, died a few hours ago. Hamba Kahle brother #RIP," wrote Mail & Guardian Online editor Chris Roper."Big loss for SA media," Moneyweb editor Ryk van Niekerk wrote."On Monday 12/9 Deon du Plessis would of gone on long leave till the beginning of January. Died Sunday 11/9.

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.
Methodology of spiritual development.
In Connection with Recent Acts of Terror
Translated from Russian by Anton Teplyy
Corrector of the English translation —
Jesus Christ, the Apostles Mark, John, Andrew, and Matthew, Sufi Grand Master, Sulia, Lada, Kayr, Nikifor, and all other Holy Spirits
The mergence of souls in love is the first and most important thing that God recommends to all people who are incarnated on the Earth.
We should learn to love, first of all, each other and all the positive elements of the Creation!
All those who carry this out, overcoming all kinds of possible difficulties, are given preference by God during their apprenticeship with Him.
Only in this, and in no other way, can one achieve the state of paradise.
On the contrary, those who oppose themselves to this recommendation of God move away from Him and form hard destinies for themselves.
On the basis of acceptation or rejection of the given recommendation of God, it is possible to distinguish between the true and false conceptions of diverse religious movements, schools, sects, and groups.
* * *
Those who walk along the right path develop themselves as spiritual hearts and — thanks to this — learn to love and refine themselves approaching by their quality to Our state.
This gives them a possibility to cognize Us and to merge — as developed souls — with Us in love.
It is so, because it is only love that allows souls to merge!
At a later time, such Persons continue to develop themselves and extend their knowledge of God, thus obtaining wisdom.
What can be better and more wonderful?
(This appeal was written down
A Few More Words About the Straight (Short) Path

Information Search and Revelation in Groups
We analyze costly information acquisition and information revelation in groups that evaluate different decision options in a dynamic setting. Even when team members have perfectly aligned interests the group may inefficiently delay decisions due to either insufficient information acquisition effort or due to the unwillingness of informed team members to reveal their information in an attempt to incentivize their co-workers to continue searching for information. Although deadlines can reduce costly delay, we show that, surprisingly, expected decision time is non-monotonic in the length of the deadline. The optimal deadline is unique and finite and incentivizes team members to intensely search for information while at same time minimizing any unnecessary delay in decision-making. As long as the deadline is set optimally, welfare is higher when information is only privately observable to the agent who obtained rather than to the entire group. We further explore how contracts, monitoring and third-party information intermediaries influence the actions of the group members.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like if they showed the day after a zombie outbreak movie ends, walk into an ad agency the day after layoffs.
Life has to go on. It's a cliche, I know, but it's the truth.
Awesome work still needs to get done for the clients, but you can't help but cringe every time you walk by a desk that used to be filled with a friend or a colleague.
However, the best remedy for the post-layoff blahs, is to do great work for a client that is excited about it. My partner and I have a campaign for our client and the client is even increasing the budget to do more tactics based on the concept.
Things will get better and we'll rebound, until then I'll be on the lookout for zombies.

Tales of the riverbank: WWF-UK, Coke and CCE in eco-partnership
WWF-UK, Coca-Coca Great Britain (CCGB) and Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) are partnering to help ensure a thriving future for England's rivers. The partnership will see the three organisations significantly scale up their previous partnership to tackle the impacts of agriculture on water and promote sustainable farming to protect England's unique chalk streams.
The new three-year partnership will support farmers in two chalk stream catchments to improve the way they manage their land and reduce the impacts of production on the freshwater environment. Improved practises will aid the resilience of agricultural supply chains, the organisations say.
Jon Woods, general manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain, commented: "Water is fundamental to our business, which is why we're working with WWF to ensure we use it in a responsible and sustainable way. Over the last three years, we returned more than 286 million litres of water to the ecosystem exceeding our target by over 36 million litres. Together, we want to build on the success of our collaboration and show how businesses and organisations can reduce their impact on freshwater environments as well as lead the way in water efficiency."
The new partnership follows the conclusion of a three year partnership which saw WWF-UK, CCGB and CCE working together to bring life back into two chalk stream catchments – the River Nar in Norfolk and the River Cray in South London near the Coca-Cola Enterprises' bottling plant. The work improved over 7kms of river and replenished 286.3 million litres of water.
Leendert den Hollander, general manager, Coca-Cola Enterprises, added: "Our mission is to "inspire sustainable soft drinks choices" to our customers and consumers. Water is the main ingredient in our products and is necessary for cooling, washing and rinsing processes in our manufacturing plants. Given that 97 per cent of the drinks that Coca-Cola sells in Great Britain are made within its borders, our business is determined to use water in a responsible, sustainable way. And our work with WWF supports that mission."
