Moving on » Swallow met with Shurtleff in his office Thursday afternoon and noted that, as attorney general, he'll take a pay cut from $71 an hour to $49 an hour. Shurtleff countered that, when he joins the Troutman Sanders law firm, he'll make a far bigger salary.
But he said he wonders about the impact he'll have on lives. At a recent meeting of Safety Net — a group established in 2003 by Shurtleff to build bridges between polygamists and opponents — Anne Wilde, a polygamy proponent, made him a scrapbook and hugged him and had her photo taken with him.
Shurtleff, at times getting teary-eyed as he was lauded at the meeting, quoted Rudyard Kipling's "The Ballad of East and West" — a poem about enemies finally meeting. He smiled at an update about a boy he knew who was abandoned by his polygamy-practicing mother and is now an adult in the U.S. Navy and who just bought a house.
"I'll never have anything that compares to this job — knowing you've had an impact one way or another on people's lives, saving people's lives … whether it's the work we did on meth or substance abuse or suicide prevention or Internet crimes against children ... that gives me great satisfaction," he said.
One thing about the public job he won't miss is the constant scrutiny by some news reporters he believes are hostile to him. Shurtleff is a big defender of the media in general but believes some of the coverage about campaign donors who have been crosswise with state regulators or charged by federal prosecutors has been malicious and irresponsible.
Still, when asked if he would ever run for office again, the outgoing attorney general and former Salt Lake County commissioner said he wouldn't rule it out. He also said he hasn't made any plans to "get out, make money and come back in six years."
That, coincidently, would be when Sen. Orrin Hatch would finish what he has said will be his last term in the U.S. Senate.

I teach anabaptist theology at columbia bible college in abbotsford, bc. I'm intrigued by the title of the site and find it quite appropriate in that I believe that the nature of the 16 century movement was in many ways a youth movement. Many of the early radicals were dead before they reached the age of 30! e.g Grebel and Denck to name my 2 favs. as one who seeks to inspire a new movement in the 21st century I was excited when a friend told me about this site. I look forward to reading and posting occasionally and recommending this site to students.

NEW YORK – Henrik Lundqvist was going strong. Eight consecutive shooters had been stopped by the star Rangers netminder as Tampa Bay (20-10-5) battled the Rangers through one of the longest shootouts in league history.
But then Ryan Malone sent the puck off the crossbar, and back down onto the ice, where it went just past the goal line. After a delayed reaction by Malone and the Lightning bench, they finally started celebrating their win; delayed by a Derek Stepan equalizer with 8:42 left in the third period, and an 11-round shootout that was the sixth longest in NHL history.
"I just want to win [the shootout]," said Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped eight of the 11 shootout attempts after saving 21 shots in regulation and overtime. "It's fun when you stop them, but it's definitely not fun when you let them in. Very frustrating today; you play a big part as a goalie. When you lose, you take it personally."
"Those shootouts, it's exciting when you win them and it's a downer when you lose them," said Rangers coach John Tortorella, who's not a fan of the skills competition. "I was just talking to the coaching staff, you cannot get down. You can't judge your team on that. We have to coach them on how they played, and I thought we played our ass off."
Lundqvist had a rough start to the shootout, allowing the first two Lightning shooters,Victor Hedman and Adam Hall, to beat him. Lundqvist ran the gauntlet after that. Steven Stamkos, Pavel Kubina, Vincent Lecavalier, and Martin St. Louis were all among the shooters Lundqvist turned aside before Malone's heroics.
"The difference between winning and losing in the shootout is very small," Lundqvist said. "I was trying to stay focused, and I was hoping for a third goal from us. We had some nice moves in the first three rounds. After I let in the first two, I knew it was going to be tough for us."
Despite turnovers to Martin St. Louis twice in the first period that allowed the Lightning two goals in the opening twenty, the Rangers (20-14-2) battled throughout to force the tie.
"We played exactly the way we wanted to," said 20-year-old rookie Derek Stepan, who scored his 10th goal of the season to tie the game halfway through the third period. "A couple breakdowns ended up in the back of the net. Makes it a tough game. We grinded a point out, we'd like to have two, sometimes that's just the way it is."
"I like the hockey team. It's a team that continues to play, continues to grind," said Tortorella. "We have to work our ass off to get a goal. I have a lot of respect for the guys because they don't get frustrated."
"We were the better team the whole game," Lundqvist said. "We were still down one goal going into the third, you have to see it as a good thing that we tied the game and never quit. That's a positive thing."
Zuccarello's debut a success, but he won't stay with Rangers… for now
John Tortorella congratulated Mats Zuccarello after the game. He told the 23-year-old "Norwegian Hobbit" what a great game he played.
Then he told the diminutive Zuccarello to go back to Connecticut (AHL). Tortorella said he wants Zuccarello to play on Sunday with the Whale. When asked where Zuccarello would be on Monday when the Rangers face the Islanders, Tortorella said he didn't know.
"He made some plays that I didn't think he'd be able to make at certain times," Tortorella said. "You can see the creativity, you can see his skill. It's something this team needs."
"My greatest night of my life, playing my first game, so I'm pretty happy," Zuccarello said after the game in the Rangers locker room. "Too bad we didn't get the two points, that's the only disappointment."
Zuccarello, who played 17:52, took two shots and delivered a pair of hits in the game. He also scored in the third round of the shootout on a pretty deke move, sliding the puck by Tampa goaltender Dan Ellis.
"If he didn't score, I know you guys would be second guessing my ass off, but there was no question I was going to use him in that shootout," Tortorella said of his decision-making.
The speedster also had a cluster of family members who made the trip to New York for the Christmas holiday. Originally, Zuccarello was going to sit in the stands with his family. Instead, they got to experience his NHL debut. There was a Norwegian flag flying in the stands as the Rangers warmed up before the game.
"I try to temper myself because you never know as you go through a long term of it all, but give the kid high marks. He stood right in there," Tortorella said. "I was not going to hide him. We filled him in on our foundation, on how to play, but we wanted him to be creative, and let his game go."
"I'll probably go through this game 100 times. The guys around the locker room helped me a lot, talked to me a lot," Zuccarello said. "It means a lot. Like I said, just a nice feeling right now."

Badass Comedy Shows & Training
Austin, TX 78701
At The New Movement we have 5 levels of comedy training. Each level is 8 weeks long and focuses on a certain aspect, honing it through practice and innovation, to produce what we consider a well-rounded improvisor. Some may argue that this is only the first step, and that's sort of true. I would rather call it the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. Come share in the joy and celebration of 45 weeks worth of work, dedication, and triumph!

I have a text file full of the following types of lines. [post example lines of the input file].Responding to your other questions:
Moreover, these text files have the following filenames. [post an 'ls' or 'dir' of your directory showing what the filenames look like].
I would like to transform a given text file into the following output as another text file. [post example lines of your output file].
As a complete example, given the following input file I would expect the following output file. [post your complete example].
As I've started in Python it'd be really helpful if I got an answer in Python! Thanks.
2. I tried for a few days to print the output into a file, but "print >>file, '%d %s' % (count, url)" gives me syntax errors. f.write() similarly doesn't work. How do you write the output into a text file or better yet, send it as an email? (The server this will run on has Windows, and I was thinking of using Task Manager to run this at a regular time each day.)
def write_string_to_file(input_string, filename):
with open(filename, 'w') as f:
f.write(input_string + '\n')
def write_strings_to_file(input_strings, filename):
with open(filename, 'w') as f:
for line in input_strings:
f.write(line + '\n')
3. The proxy log file is uploaded automatically at 5:00am everyday and has the date (e.g. 20120229) in its name. How can I set this script to get the current date and scan the correct file?Use glob, get a list of files, then apply regular expressions to them and parse the dates out of the filenames.

Originally written by By Victoria Woollaston for Mail Online
Humans evolved to being monogamous to protect their children from being killed by other males and this ultimately led to more intelligent offspring, say scientists. Read article here
A team from London, Manchester, Oxford and Auckland studied the mating habits of monkeys and discovered that mothers will delay mating when nurturing young children.
In non-monogamous communities, rival males will try to kill children to encourage the female to want to mate sooner. However, in societies where primates choose a mate and stay with them, the males are more likely to care for their offspring and want to protect them, and this leads to more intelligent, well nurtured children.
The scientists believe this provides 'conclusive proof' that protecting young children is the main reason for monogamy in humans as this evolutionary trait in primates can also be assigned to humans
Hmmmm sounds like an interesting theory! what are your thoughts?

Giac Lam Pagoda
Believed to be the oldest temple in HCMC (1744), Giac Lam is a fantastically atmospheric place set in peaceful, garden-like grounds.
Believed to be the oldest temple in HCMC (1744), Giac Lam is a fantastically atmospheric place set in peaceful, garden-like grounds.
Built between 1939 and 1942, this temple is said to be the only pure Taoist temple in Vietnam and is unique for its colourful statues of Taoist disciples.
Built between 1802 and 1820 on the site of structures from the Funan period, dating back at least to the early centuries of Christianity, this Buddhist temple is extremely rich in gilded, painted and beautifully fashioned bronze, wood, ceramic and beaten copper statuary.

Experience the natural and cultural wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia
In a land where so many ancient temples have been 'restored' in concrete and neon, it's a joy to discover one that looks its age.
There may only be a small number of Hindus in HCMC, but this colourful slice of southern India is also considered sacred by many ethnic Vietnamese and Chinese. Indeed, it is reputed to have miraculous powers.
Nicknamed the 'Dragon House' (Nha Rong), this former customs house was built by the French authorities in 1863.
This Fujian temple is dedicated to the Goddess of Seafarers, Thien Hau (Thien Hau Thanh Mau), also known as Ma To. The four carved stone pillars, wrapped in painted dragons, were fashioned in China and delivered to Vietnam by boat Noteworthy murals can be seen either side of the main altar, while impressive ceramic relief scenes decorate the roof.
This gorgeous 19th-century temple is dedicated to the goddess Thien Hau and always attracts a mix of worshippers and visitors, who mingle beneath the large coils of incense suspended overhead.
One of the city's biggest and most attractive green spaces is 10-hectare Tao Dan Park, its bench-lined walks shaded with avenues of enormous tropical trees, including the ever-abundant flame tree and vast Sao Den and So Khi trees.
One of Cholon's most active and colourful temples, this shrine was founded in the early 19th century.
From the fast-paced nightlife of Bangkok to a slow boat along the Mekong, this trip brings you the best of Southeast Asia on a shoestring. You'll party along the beautiful bay of Vietnam's Nha Trang in the company of like-minded travellers and channel the French vibe sipping coffee in riverside cafés in Laos.

Like many modern oval tracks, California Speedway also features an infield road-course, which has been used by the Grand American Road Racing Association (GARRA) and by the Japanese Grand Touring Car Championship, with the JGTC race being unique as a night race. The GARRA Rolex Sports Car Series no longer races at California Speedway. The NASCAR West Series held its first race on the infield course, won by Jason Bowles.
During the 1999 CART race, Canadian driver Greg Moore was killed in a crash along the backstretch of the track. It was determined that after sliding along the infield grass, Moore's car hit the edge of oncoming pavement, which caused the car to flip into a concrete retaining wall. This incident resulted in a major overhaul of the track, including the paving of the infield grass on the backstretch in time for the 2000 NASCAR event.
On October 28, 2000 during CART qualifying, Gil de Ferran set the track record for fastest lap at 241.426 MPH.
On September 21, 2003 during an IRL race, Sam Hornish, Jr. set the track record for fastest average speed during a race at 207.151 MPH.
In 2005, 20 year old Kyle Busch earned his first ever NASCAR NEXTEL Cup win at California Speedway. He is to date the youngest driver to win a race in the NEXTEL Cup Series.
The facility is often used for television shows and commercials, and for major films. In 2000, portions of Charlie's Angels were filmed at the speedway and in 2004, portions of were filmed there.

We specialize in Auto Accident and Sport Injury's and also provide advanced treatments for neck and low back pain, knee pain and neuropathies. At the Non-Surgical Pain Relief Center, we are a Multi-Professional practice providing Medical, Chiropractic and Physical Therapy all under one roof. We provide our patients a natural and advanced approach to lasting pain relief. We provide non-surgical spinal decompression therapy for our acute and chronic neck and low back pain. For our Knee pain and neuropathy patient's, we provide an advanced approach to help you avoid unnecessary surgeries or amputations.
At our facility we utilize the most current technology including; Digital x-rays, Nerve Conduction test to detect nerve damage, E.M.G. to determine location of a pinched nerve, Diagnostic Ultrasound to specifically guide knee injections and A.L.C.A.T. for allergies relief. All of which are tools detect and diagnosis your condition to get to the root of your problem. This allows us to provide a more concise treatment plan specific to your needs.
Spinal Decompression: We use Hi-tech spinal decompression machines along with pre and post therapies, rehab programs, nutrition advice and supportive devices to help rehydrated dried out disc material that is causing chronic neck, back, arm and leg pain associated with degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc, canal stenosis, facet syndrome and spinal arthritis. We address the cause (dry or degenerative disc), not just symptoms, making you well not just better.
Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis: There are 3 key components to a successful outcome;
Guided injections: Our office provides ultrasound guided knee injections using Hyalgan (hyaluronic acid) a natural pure form of fluid directly into the knee joint capsule, the fluid coats the cartilage surfaces so it can move smoothly against each other again. Also, the pain relieving substance is concentrated in the knee, not scattered throughout the body.
Knee bracing: While you undergo the injection program, we provide a custom knee brace to assist healing by relieving pressure and allowing the arthritic joint to move evenly and allowing the associated ligaments and tendons to heal properly.
Rehabilitation: Utilizing vibration plates and advanced electromedicine to help rejuvenate damaged tissues associated with joint degeneration to help stretch, strengthen and heal the surrounding tissues
Advanced Neuropathy Treatment: There are 3 key phases to a successful outcome;
Phase 1 Advanced Pain Medicine
Pain relieving medicine is delivered directly to the feet and lower extremities. This medicine in concert with our other treatment phases accelerates the quality and speed of the pain reduction process. Our multiphase treatment program is completely steroid free. Steroids only provide temporary relief and can produce a host of undesired side effects. Most of our patients have reported zero side effects.
Phase 2 Electro Analgesic Therapy:
This phase of the treatment utilizes a specialized electro analgesic machine to send electrical energy into the nerves in order to "reset" them and allow the medicine to take effect. The device produces and delivers electronic biologically - effective signals that can be used to treat the nerves delivering the pain signals. These signals also treat muscles and other tissues which are often the source of the pain. Specific and sophisticated electrical parameters are employed that influence the target tissue at the cellular level.
Phase 3 infrared laser therapy:
The final treatment phase utilizes infrared laser therapy. This treatment is non-invasive and can be safely applied to any area of the body where the clinical objectives are to: increase circulation, reduce pain, stiffness or muscle spasm.
Weight Loss Program: Nulean helps dissolve fat naturally with a scientifically developed combination of nutrients targeted to cleanse the body of impurities, while kick-starting you back to a faster, more youthful metabolism. Without the use of drugs or stimulants Nulean makes losing weight both fun and easy. You are likely to experience more energy and feel much better than you have in years.
Allergy Treatments: The evaluation process is painless and highly informative. We provide utilize the A.L.C.A.T. Food and Chemical Sensitivity/Intolerance Test; over 24 years this has provided both patients and healthcare professionals with a tool to successfully overcome a wide variety of conditions, such as digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, skin disorders and arthritis, which result from food and chemical sensitivities.
With over 30 years of biomechanical correction, strength, and nutritional training and education under our belt we have treated 1000's of patients with conditions ranging from whiplash to scoliosis to herniated discs. We have had stunning success and high patient satisfaction with these conditions and many others. Patients seeking treatment at Non-Surgical Pain Relief Center are assured of receiving only the finest quality care, because we have a genuine concern for your well-being and long-term health.

If you do that, then DK damage would SKYROCKET. Frost DKs would just use Blood Strike twice (for Death Runes), Obliterate, Obliterate, Obliterate, Frost Strike to dump RP, then do that again. Only one DK would have to apply diseases, so the other DKs could just use impossibly high damage rotations all raid.

Crib Solutions for Twins
Good Questions
Q: I recently found out that I'm expecting twins (!) and need some nursery ideas. Specifically cribs. Are there cribs designed especially for twins? I've considered using 2 portable cribs for lack of space (and money) but they seem flimsy and often don't have some of the features of a standard crib, any thoughts?
Sent by Sylvia
Editor: Believe it or not there is a double-decker twin crib on the market, but frankly that seems a little strange to me. I know many of our readers who have twins had them sleep together in the beginning before moving them into separate cribs. Moms and dads of twins, what advice do you have for Sylvia. (p.s. Congrats!)

Hi there and congrats! I am also expecting twins at the end of August. In the beginning we plan to sleep them together in an original arm's reach co-sleeper in our room. (the arm's reach has a higher weight limit than other pack-n-plays). Once they can roll over, we plan to switch them to seperate cribs. But we'll have to move before then because currently we have a small 2 bedroom space and a 2 year old son as well. Should be tight and interesting but I am really looking forward to it! :)
To me this brings up more questions than answers. Do you plan on being at your current place of residence long term or is your lease up in 6 months? The smaller or portable cribs work when they're infants, but what about when they're 18 months. When do you plan on putting them in beds? Will you have room for that? We have 20 month old twins, and have had them in two standard sized cribs since birth. We started them off in the same room, but had to move them to different rooms so everyone could get more sleep and we could stay sane. I understand that space might not allow for two cribs. Some people put both babies in one crib, which works for a while, or two bassinets. Congrats!
The double decker crib is terrible because the baby in the bottom is really confined. I would recommend having the twins share a crib, and transitioning them to their own once they are a bigger. They spent time together in the womb, so it might be unusual for them to be apart once born.
We have our twins in one crib for now. They are six weeks old and we plan on keeping them this way until they are six months old. We have a second crib for then and plan on placing them directly next to each other in an L shape to save space and keep the girls close to each other.
Oh my goodness. That double decker crib just makes me think of two dog crates stacked on top of each other.
Two mini cribs! They are the same size as a porta-crib, but are intended for permanent use and are therefore as sturdy as a regular crib.
(The smaller cribs will work until about 18 months. Obviously, you'll need space for two standard cribs/toddler beds at some point anyway).
For all those weirded out by the double decker crib, tons of a big daycares use them with no problem. A lot of the babies love them and sleep better since they're "cozy."
I agree keeping them together for as long as possible would be ideal since they're likely to freak out not being close to each other. Then try a mesh divider for the crib once they can roll over. By the time they're too big to fit on the divided sides they'll be strong enough to sleep side by side without suffocating so you can put them back together.
Congratulations!! I have 7 1/2 month old twins- a boy and a girl. We had them sleep together in the beginning in an Arms Reach Co-Sleeper in our room. The original size is perfect for two babies! They were in that for about 6 weeks. Then we moved them into one crib in their room, but that only lasted about two more weeks. So by the time they were 8 weeks old they were each in their own crib. Good luck- twins are amazing!!!
Congratulations! My twins started out together but were steamrolling each other by eight weeks (even in a tight swaddle), so we moved them to their own cribs. I like the idea of mini cribs and know that there are a few affordable and attractive options in Walmart's baby mod line. Another thing to consider is the Graco pack n play for twins, which has a double bassinet and considerably higher weight limits than a standard pnp. Maybe find one secondhand to buy yourself some time so that you can meet your babies and figure out what suits them best. Good luck!
Sleep them together at first. Man, that double decker gives me the willies! The bottom looks confined and stuffy (SIDS warning?) and the top looks like the baby could fall out while the parent is "opening" it!
My friend that had twins had them both in the same crib from birth. When they started getting bigger they purchased a second crib used from a friend of theirs.
I think because you're going to want to keep them in cribs for a long time (we just put our triplets in toddler beds at over 3 years old) you'll be best served with full-size cribs. They don't have to be huge - the IKEA ones are supposed to have a pretty small footprint - but they should be full-sized, IMO. Especially since crib tents (the best invention since sliced bread, esp for multiples) only fit full-sized cribs.
You can hold off until they're a couple of months old, though. All three of mine shared a crib until they were about 3 months old.
My boy/girl twins are still sharing a crib at 9 months. At first they snuggled up together. When they could roll we just put them on opposite sides of the crib. Crawling presents a new problem, and I'm debating moving them to separate cribs now that my boy crawls over his sister or steals her pacifier. True story: yesterday they fussed a bit before settling for a nap. I ignored it because it wasn't distressed crying. About 30 minutes later my daughter let out a shriek. When I checked on them, I found they had actually fallen asleep with my son on top of his sister, pinning her flat! She woke up uncomfortable, he woke up mad when I moved him to free her.
we have four months old twins at home. They share d a crib till they were three months old, but when we moved them to their own room (instead of our, which you will need to do if you don't want to drive yourself crazy, particularly if you are planning to nurse!) three weeks ago they clearly made it clear to s that they each wanted their own bed. We picked up two pretty basic, white cribs (Graco, sold on Amazon) and used one in our living room and one in the master while we were maign arrangements to move out of our two bedroom apartment. We moved when the kids were two months old, and switched them to their own room three weeks ago. They loved sharing a crib to begin with, and now they love having each their own bed- I put two cribs in their bedroom, and since they take as much space as a regular twin bed, they will be sharing a room for a lot longer! Good luck!
or you could cosleep!
My first two kids were born close, so the second-born has only ever slept in a pack 'n play. He'll be two next month, and it's worked out just fine. He has climbed out twice now, but no harm done, and it's really a much shorter fall than if he were climbing out of the crib (which would be just as easy at this age).
Regarding the double crib pictured: I worked in a church nursery that uses those and I don't like them. They just had such a prison-like feel to them. And yes, there's not much space inside of them. You'd do better in the long run using two pack 'n plays if you have room for that.
I am in total agrement with the mom of triplets. You are going to want to keep those babies in the cribs as long a possable so the full size cribs are the way to go. I have never heard a parent talk about an easy transition from crib to toddler bed...now double that. My twins slept in their cirbs until almost 3 1/2 yr. (note...I made the mistake with my oldest son of transitioning too young).
Keep in mind that the idea that they will snuggle with each other and comfort each other is nice but I did not find it to be true. Both wanted to snuggle and get comfort from their mom just like anyother new born. I think sleeping in the same room with you is nice especial if you plan on nursing (I nursed my twins until over 1 year) so you may not need two cribs right way. You can kind of wait and see how it goes. Note: most doctors will tell you not to put your twins in the same bed. It is a SIDS thing. I did put mine together but just sharing the info.
I think I would double think the co-sleeper just because they are very small and you would NOT be able to use it very long with two babies. A lot of money for a month or two of use.
Hope all goes well with your pregnancy. Best wishes!
Congratulations Sylvia! Twins are a wonderful adventure. (Mine are nearly 5 now.) I just wanted to mention that Mothers of Twins Clubs, even if you're not much of a 'joiner,' are a tremendous resource. Most have twice-yearly tag sales where you can get all kinds of gently used gear (including cribs and bassinets!) dirt cheap. (Ours lets expectant Moms shop early, before the crowds.) Also, even if you never go to a meeting, I found the online communities to be invaluable. Best of luck with your new additions!
Congratulations! We kept our twins by our bed in a pack and play bassinet until they out grew the weight limit. Then transitioned them to sleeping in the crib together with a crib divider. We only ended up needing one crib. When they out grew sleeping in the crib together - they rotated between the pack and play and crib. We also have a very small space issue. But if you do decide to buy two cribs brand new BRU offers twin discounts. I second the mother's of multiples clubs. I've gotten great stuff from those groups...
Friends of ours who had twins in a small NYC 2BR apartment handed this unique crib down to us: http://multiples.about.com/od/cribs/ss/twincribs_2.htm. It's a large, well-made crib that is divided in half by a plexiglass panel. Each crib is basically a square. Our twins are now almost 2.5 and still content sleeping in it -- though a bit too content, as they often start the night gabbing at each other and have been known to vault the divider once or twice. Also, the plexiglass is a little weird -- we joke that they're training to be bank tellers or subway token clerks. I'm frankly surprised no other manufacturer has started producing something similar.
that crib looks like it might topple over...
We use a pack n play for our younger toddler. I dislike it because it's so low to the ground. It's hard to get a sleepy girl in and a lot of lifting to get her out. Ready for the new bed transition!
I know twin mamas who found that especially in the early days, nursing two meant a lot of nighttime getting up. She ended up bringing both babies to bed with her (with hubby on the couch for a short while until they got a king) and it worked fantastic! Everyone got so much more sleep :) If you want info on nursing twins, Kellymom.com has lots of assistance. The forums are also excellent for advice.
You really don't need two cribs, I promise. My twins are six and a half now and still prefer to sleep together. I don't know why we bothered buying bunk beds, they're always climbing into the same bunk for a "sleepover"! When they were babies, they slept best when they were curled up together.
Wanted to add - we had one crib until they were about six months old, then two cribs (both hand-me-downs). We put the cribs in an L-shape at first, but the boys kept climbing into each other's cribs, so we put one on each side of the room. They started crawling out of the crib and across the top of their dresser to get into each other's cribs so they could snuggle while they slept. They just wanted to be together.
Our twins are 16 months and have slept in their own separate cribs since half way through our first night home. (we had them in a pack play in our room and before the sun was up we moved them into their own room, the bending and the constant baby goat noises made the pnp unbearable. ) we got our cribs from amazon, they were way cheaper than anything BRU offered even with the twin discount. They are pretty standard davinci cribs, solid, no drop side death traps. And they convert to toddler beds later on. Their mattresses we got from Costco. Organic cotton less than $100 each.
If you haven't already, pick up the baby bargains book, it saved us a ton of money and research. There is sparse twin-centric info, but the other stuff is helpful. Like which crib companies have the best safety/recall records, where to save on furniture, mattresses, clothing, strollers, etc. Which brands hold up best which is essential for twins!
Good luck, twins are awesome.
I had twins in June and we let the girls sleep in the same crib facing opposite directions for the first 6 months and then added a soft crib divider to keep them from waking one another up once they started rolling around. It's worked great so far. We think we'll purchase a second crib in the near future since they are getting too long to fit side-by-side with the divider but so far one crib has worked for us.
I have two year old twins. I bought the Stokke cribs which were really expensive, but have worked out really well. We also have a hand me down portable crib which I put on wheels that has been really useful as well, especially when they were young, we wheeled it all around the apartment, and they could play in it. I highly recommend getting a crib that you can put wheels on (locking), and one that fits through the bedroom doors, so that you can wheel it into another room, say when one is sick, or not sleeping well My girls spent the first few weeks in the portable crib together. They still fit in it at 2, but not together!
Maybe it's just me, but it definitely looks like the double decker crib is gonna hurt the hell out of your back over time.
Oh my goodness. That double decker crib just makes me think of two dog crates stacked on top of each other:)

The works of William Shakespeare have inspired many films, including page-to-stage adaptations like Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and much looser inspirations, such as West Side Story. All Night Long very definitely belongs to the latter category, keeping the plot of Othello, but re-setting it in an early '60s jazz milieu. An unfairly neglected little treasure, All Night Long is an intriguing and atmospheric thriller that updates Shakespeare most effectively. Set over the course of one late night party, the film is virtually a continuous jam session between some of the brightest lights of the jazz world. This constant musical background infuses every scene, creating a backdrop that contextualizes the dramatic events and adds a purposefully intrusive feel to the scenes. Johnny Cousin is obsessed with making his mark in the jazz world and the music reflects and intensifies that obsession. Patrick McGoohan is excellent, a wound coil ready to spring at the slightest provocation, but battling to keep himself taut. He is sly, scheming, and duplicitous, but capable of presenting himself as genial and sympathetic when needed. The audience, however, is ever aware of his ambition and of its overwhelming influence upon him. His breakdown at the end is superb. All Night Long cops out a little at the finish, replacing the original tragedy's deaths with a happy ending, but until then, it is engrossing and original.

The ROI of Free Revisited
Posted By Jeffrey Eisenberg On March 12, 2007 @ 10:48 am In Accountable Marketing,Advertising,B2B,Buying Process,Community,ROI Marketing,Value | 4 Comments
Why publish valuable content for free? This questions has come up so many times over the years we've been in business that it no longer surprises me. The answer has been the same since we started Future Now, Inc.
"An innocuous question can hit you where you live. I should have expected one day someone would ask me, "How do you measure your ROI for that?"
If I'm conducting client training on measuring, testing, and optimizing performance, clients have a right to ask about my own practices. The "that" she referred to is nearly 300,000 words we've published online for free over the past two years. I promised her I'd discuss it in this column.
How does someone who writes "ROI Marketing" justify publishing so much content for free? Do we charge for advertising, rent our list, or bombard those names with commercial offers? No. In fact, Jeffrey, my brother and partner who handles such things, estimates we've invested about $100,000 developing free content for our newsletter, free whitepapers and other publications. How do we measure its ROI?
We know one side of the equation: the investment. The money has been spent. What did we get in return?" keep reading… [1]
That was from Bryan's June 2002 ClickZ column, The ROI of Free [1], where he explained how we calculate the return on all the free content we create. He even said we would double down and did we ever. Since 1999 we've published almost two million words for free.
What made me think of this subject today is Chris Garrett's interview with my friend Sean D'Souza [2]. Sean sums up his response to a similar question with: "Give the ideas. Sell the System."
I like Chris's blog. Want proof? You may notice that mine was the first comment. Chris has the interview and links to Sean's Psychotactics.com [3].

Java and JavaScript Get Closer?
Oracle To Run Java Inside JavaScript Environment?
Founder of Snowtide Informatics Chas Emerick, has blogged about a recent statement from Vice President of Java Development at Oracle, Adam Messinger, in which he appears to state that Oracle plan to run "Java inside a Javascript environment." He claims this is something Oracle feel they need to achieve in order to extend Java's availability onto devices such as the iPad, or desktops where users choose not to use applets. "We want a solution that works there," he said.
Chas Emerick theorises that Oracle could be developing a method for using JavaScript as a compilation target. "It's anyone's guess whether this is Oracle's stab at something akin to GWT," says Emerick. Previously, an implementation of the JVM in JavaScript has been attempted in project 'Orto.' This project allowed users to take a Java app, compile it, and run it through Orto. Orto then produced the JavaScript and embedded it in a web page. The demo offered by the project was a simple Tetris game:
And here's the generated source code:
"java/lang/Thread 1316742099":function(){var orto333=orto245[0]; var orto336=orto350(orto333); if(orto336.orto340!=orto310){orto223("java/lang/IllegalThreadStateException",null); return ; }
case 117:orto246[orto247-2]={high:(~orto246[orto247-2].high) &0xffffffff,low:(~orto246[orto247-2].low+1)&0xffffffff}; if(orto246[orto247-2].low==0){orto246[orto247-2].high++; orto246[orto247-2].high&=0xffffffff; orto246[orto247-2].low=0; }break;
case "CHECKBOX":orto171=orto188["orto/ui/CheckBox"]; break; case "IMAGE":orto171=orto188["orto/ui/ImageButton"]; break; case "RADIO":orto171=orto188["orto/ui/RadioButton"]; break;

One of my favorite escapes in Watertown is to take a nice brisk walk, or snow shoe along the new bike path in the morning.
It was exciting to watch as they planted new shrubs, installed benches, and posed new signs last fall. It is also a great way to get in and out of the mall when I need to pick up a few things.
I love to add some fun to my walk and take a turn over to 71 Arlington St. to for a nice cup of coffee and pastry. They have such an amazing selection! My family's favorites are the red velvet cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies and the mouth-watering cream puffs. They take special orders on their baked goods and prepare them nicely for you to bring as a gift. I individually boxed their large cupcakes for Christmas gifts and which were a big hit.

Transpo resumed service Tuesday at noon. The bus service have been suspended due to the dangerous weather conditions.
Transpo user, Leonard Cathey is happy the bus is running again. "I'm happy," Cathey said, "because yesterday I couldn't get to work."

Health by the Numbers: Influenza
Few experiences cause more misery than fighting off the flu. Many people confuse the flu with the common cold since the symptoms are similar and include headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, dry cough, and a general feeling of lethargy. Unlike the cold however, the flu is very often accompanied by a fever, muscle aches, and a more severe cough. Complications of the flu can include ear and sinus infections, bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, diabetes, and asthma.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about every 10 years, the flu virus changes resulting in more severe cases of this illness. When large-scale outbreaks of the new virus occur it's called an epidemic. During the 2009-2010 flu season, the H1N1 virus-also known as the "swine flu"-caused a worldwide outbreak, or pandemic. This situation had not occurred for 40 years.
The best way to prevent the flu is to receive an annual flu shot. Flu season runs from October until April or May so September (or as soon as the shot becomes available) is an ideal time to be immunized. The CDC recommends either the shot or the nasal mist for all healthy persons over the age of six months. The shot contains killed viruses that won't cause the flu but enables the body to create antibodies that fight off infection if the live flu virus is encountered. The nasal mist has weakened live flu viruses and is offered only to healthy people between 2 and 49 years old.
We crunched the flu numbers for you:
- 1: Number of days a person carrying the flu virus can be contagious before their symptoms appear. (In other words, it's possible to pass on the flu before you know you're sick.)
- 5 to 7: Number of days a person with the flu and its symptoms is contagious.
- 5 to 20: Percentage of U.S. residents who get the flu annually.
- 200,000: Number of people hospitalized each year for flu-related complications.
- 3,000 to 49,000: Number of flu-associated deaths over a 30-year period between 1976 and 2006.
- 6: Number of feet from a sick person the flu virus can travel to be spread to a non-sick person. Symptoms start one to four days after the virus enters the body.
- 2 to 8: Number of hours the flu virus can live and potentially infect a person after being deposited on a surface such as a school desk or counter top.
- 1: Number of tablespoons of chlorine bleach added to one quart of water necessary to make an effective homemade disinfectant.
- 3 to 5: Number of minutes the homemade disinfectant should stand on the dirty surface in order to kill germs.
- 24: Number of hours you should stay home after your fever from the flu breaks, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
- 130: Number of national influenza centers in 101 countries that currently conduct year-round surveillance of the flu and the disease trends.
- 7 out of 10: Number of people protected from getting the flu from the flu shot in the 2007-2008 influenza season according to the results of a randomized study published by the CDC.
- 60 Percent: Effectiveness of the 2010-2011 flu vaccine during the most recent influenza season.
- 3: Number of flu viruses the flu shot protects against each year.
- 132.1 million: Number of doses of the flu vaccine that were distributed as of February 2012.
- 6: Number of manufacturers that made the 2011-2012 flu vaccine.
- 6: Number of months it takes to produce large quantities of the influenza vaccine.
- 79 million: Number of doses of thimerosal-free (preservative-free) influenza vaccine produced during the 2011-2012 season.

5 Reasons to be optimistic in May
Now this is content you will only find at GROTA...optimism (although I'm not entirely sure optimism is the official policy here at goatriders.org)
I can't operate as a Cubs' fan from a pessimistic point of view. It makes me not enjoy following the Cubs and if I don't enjoy the Cubs, why be a fan? Of course, one can argue that being a Cubs' fan is hardly a logical proposition as it is, but try to stay with me here. The Cubs are not a bad team, and there are plenty of reasons (five, anyway) to believe that things are going to get better in the near future. And so, in no particular order:
Five Reasons to be Optimistic about the Cubs
1. Ramirez has been not-so-good so far this year, but he is a very good player. Really, he is. The really problem seems to be a desire to win every game with every swing. And for that matter, every pitch. While he is actually walking a decent amount (13 walks so far), he is jumping at far too many first pitches (and I do mean jumping. It looks like he is flying out of his uni) and getting himself in bad hitter's counts. This has lead to a rather poor .240 average (actually, given the power and patience he has shown, it is not too bad a .240 average, as far as .240 averages go) and a hole in the heart of the Cubbie lineup. Where is the optimism here? This won't continue and I envision a hot May where he start to see Ramirez tear the cover off the ball. This is a certainty.
2. Wood finally properly diagnosed. It may seem strange to use a player heading to the DL as a source of optimism, but I'd much rather see Wood riding the pine than taking the mound every fifth day. He has been terrible this year and his oh-so-short appearances have been taxing on the Cub bullpen. Let's get anyone else a shot and this should cut down on the automatic losses.
3. Neifi! (*cough* *choke* I can't believe I just wrote that)
4. The vast majority of Cub players are *not* injured. That's right, most of the Cub regulars have not gone down with an injury, and those that are injured will be back fairly soon. Borowski is on the comeback path and Walker isn't far behind. That will leave Nomar and Wood as the only important Cubs not in the lineup (and who needs Nomar when we have Neifi!)
5. This is the year as decreed by the Goat Riders of the Apocalypse. Hence, the Cubs have to start winning eventually because you can't win it all if you don't make the playoffs. May is as good a time to start as any. Ergo, the Cubs are going to start winning in May. QED.
Mark Nabong
I loved reason #5. In physics, that's the anthropomorphic principle. In baseball, it just feels right.
George Davidson
I just dropped Mike Lowell and picked up Neifi! in my fantasy league.
Who would have thought that move would ever make sense?

James Cyrus Gilbert claims that state officials refused his application, although the state does permit plates expressing some political or religious expressions.
ATLANTA — An Atlanta man is suing the Georgia Department of Driver Services, contending that his rights were violated when the state rejected his application for vanity plates making reference to his sexual orientation.
James Cyrus Gilbert maintains in the lawsuit that state officials rejected his application for the tags 4GAYLIB, GAYPWR and GAYGUY.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that all three vanity plates are on the list banned by the state, although the state has approved plates expressing some political or religious expressions.
Gilbert said he wasn't asking for a plate that was vulgar or "over the top."
Representatives of the state Attorney General's office, Georgia Department of Driver Services and the Department of Revenue, the agency that administers vanity plates, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Georgia keeps a database of the vanity plates it has already rejected. In addition to tags that include profanity or try to sneak it in by replacing letters with numbers, the state has declined to let people register vanity plates reading "0PIUM," "IRAQ," "FATLADY" and "BGODLY," among thousands of others.
In 2011, a Nevada man successfully sued the state's Department of Motor Vehicles after it rejected several of his applications for plates supporting former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Las Vegas Sun reported. The DMV said his requests were "vulgar or obscene or expressing superiority of political affiliation," but a judge reversed the department's decision and he was issued "GOPALIN" plates.
