I've written about dating when pregnant (go mamas!), but let's talk about breaking up during pregnancy.
Wow. I cannot imagine going through that -- breaking up is hard enough as it is...throw in pregnancy and it's a whole other animal. A fierce, snarling, evil clawed rabid animal.
And there are lots of mamas-to-be going through a breakup.
As we all know, pregnancy makes us emotional. Super emotional. And often, after a breakup, even if you are the one ending it, comes depression. What affects mama, also affects baby. So of course it's important for moms to stay as emotionally, mentally, and physically healthy as possible.
So what can a mama-to-be do if she finds her relationship ending when she's pregnant?
Did you go through a breakup during pregnancy? Have any other helpful suggestions to add?
The thought scares me. But I agree with getting active to keep your mind off things. Sometimes I think I'd be better off alone.
I got divorced from an abusive man while I was 4 months pregnant with his child. It was scary, but the best thing I did for me and my DD. The best thing to do: rely on friends and family. They are the best allies you can have. Make NEW friends, if you feel like it. Go date again if you feel like it. I actually met the man who would become the love of my live when I joined a social networking (not dating) site to make new friends to just chat with since I was on bedrest on and off.
I never thought that this would have happened to me...my fiance left me 3 months pregnant. Keeping him out of my life has become quite difficult and my worry now lies with my baby's saftey. But how do I healtily process the betrayal that I feel without causing undue stress on my unborn child?
I left my baby's father when I was 3 months pregnant. It was a difficult decision, and also one of the best ones I've ever made. He was very controlling and jealous, which made our relationship stressful and difficult. Leaving was the best thing to do for the baby, I was able to relax and take care of "us" instead of worrying about what argument or abuse would arise day by day. That ended up being the most enjoyable pregnancy that I have had, which is saying a lot... I have 5 kids. Unfortunately, I had to obtain a restraining order on the father a few months after the baby was born. I was in fear for both of our lives! Long story short... stressful court proceedings and a trail later... the father is only allowed supervised visits 4 hours per week. A crystal ball would have been nice!
what if the father of your unborn isnt abusive, but is it to selfish to say he doesnt give me enough attention? or enough love. we fight all the time now and the fights are only about him not showing me enough love. Am i just being needy?
meginka, no i don't think you're needy. sometimes people don't give us enough love. sometimes relationships just don't work even if there isn't anything really dramatic.
I broke up with my son's father after I got out of the hospital after giving birth. Talk about having the rug pulled out fro under me. He had bought us a house or at least he said it was for me and the new baby, it was an emotionally abusive relationship and after I was in labor and before going to the hospital he stopped at the ATM to make sure I paid the morgage for that month. I ended up moving back in with my mom.
3 months later I reconnected with my high school sweetheart and two years later we were married and here we are one beautiful happy family! "Up from the ashes, grow the roses of success." God has blessed me so much and restored so much in my life.
well this just happened to me. I am 9 weeks pregnant. ANd the GUY i was seeing broke up wit me. he is threaten me and trying to say this isnt his baby. I am just taking it one day at a time.

Tim Engel and Barnabas recently traveled to the East Coast to see the damage that was affecting people through Hurricane Sandy.
Engel, pastor at Holy Cross Church in Portage, was accompanied by Barnabas, his three-year-old Golden Retriever, a comfort dog.
"We were asked to go there with two other teams from Lutheran churches," said Engel. "We got to see the devastation in New Jersey and New York."
One of the places they visited was a shelter where displaced people were staying.
"We visited with the people there and they loved seeing Barney," he said. "We visited a preschool and just a number of schools. I remember people saying that they had lost everything and were living in a shelter."
Engel said people loved meeting Barney and couldn't get enough of him and the other dogs.
"I'm so used to seeing Barney every day that I underestimate his impact on people," said Engel. "We would go to relief centers and people would just hug the dogs. This was all such a tragedy for these people."
Engel said seeing this tragedy, as well as going to New Orleans a few years back and Henryville last year makes him thankful for all he has.
"I'm grateful for what is at home for me and we do what we can do to help these people," Engel said. "Even if it's just letting Barney be next to them for a few minutes."
Engel said he met a man named Michael who cares for children with autism at a preschool.
"I asked how he was doing and he had lost everything," Engel said. "His childlren were staying at a shelter and he was still going to work. But the flood waters had wiped out their home. This brief encounter I had with him would not have happened if I didn't have the comfort dog with me. I got to chat and pray with him briefly."

Spectrophotometers and Extinction Coefficients Lecture Notes Absorbance The energy difference between the ground and excited states. Low Energy High Energy 750nm 350nm Red shift Blue shift Hypochromic hypsochromic Extinction Coefficients. Beer?s Law: A=?bc (A=absorbance, b=path length, c=concentration, e=extinction coefficient) To calculate an ?, you must know c and b, then measure A. Jablonski diagram Para-nitrophenol (PNP). PNP is often conjugated to enzymes to monitor their reaction with substrate because when linked to another molecule PNP has no major visible absorbance. When PNP is cleaved from the molecule both the acid and base forms are in equilibrium in solution. The basic form has an absorbance maximum at 405nm and hence can be easily used to monitor reactions (the acid form absorbs in the UV and often overlaps with the absorbance of biomolecules, so it is not used). In order to use PNP in this way, the rate of production of PNP at 405nm is measured versus time. This yields a dA/dt value. However, for the purpose of future calculations, a dC/dt value is more useful. You must know the ? of PNP at 405nm to make this conversion. If A=?bc, then dA/dt = ?b dC/dt Using the Spectrophotometer Page 64 of your manual has step-by-step instructions for using the spectrophotometer. You will use the spectrum, kinetic and photometric mode today. Results are most accurate when your absorbance max is below 1.5 AU. Which cuvette should I use? Deciding which cuvette you need to use to obtain a spectrum is the first step. There are two types of cuvettes that we will use in this class. Plastic cuvettes are suitable for measuring all visible absorbances (anything 350nm-800nm). Plastic cuvettes absorb light in the UV range (anything below about 350nm). For scan requiring this range, a quartz cuvette must be used. When you think you need a quartz cuvette, you must sign them out from your TA, then sign them back in at the end of class. They are very expensive so please be very careful with them. Running a blank. There are many factors that can contribute to your absorbance, solvent, cuvette. You must therefore run a blank (AKA baseline correction or reference) prior to running you sample. To do this, both cuvettes must contain the same thing and be of the same type (but may be of different sizes). Usually it is simply the buffer you are running your reaction in. Data Processing. ?nce you have your data, you need to process it in such a way that makes it useful to you. Usually the two most important pieces of info are??max and absorbance at that wavelength. See page 64 in your manual for more details on finding your peak. For certain scans, I will ask you to generate a curve of your data in excel. To do this you will have to write down the points in your notebook and manually put them in excel. See page 64. Experiment notes. You will have to dilute the PNP. Do only 1 scan of PNP in NaOH and HCl as long as your absorbance max is below 1.5. Dispose of all PNP waste in container in waste hood. When you are finished with lab work, please work on the post-lab outside of the lab.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Rutgers senior wide receiver Tres Moses (Delray Beach, FL) has been named to the watchlist for the 2005 Biletnikoff Award, presented annually to the nation's outstanding college football receiver. Moses is one of 31 players on the preseason list.
As a junior in 2004, Moses started all 11 games for the Scarlet Knights and became the first RU receiver to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark, finishing the season with 1,056 yards. He hauled in 81 passes, which established a BIG EAST record for single-season receptions and finished second in the league, and tenth nationally, with 96.0 receiving yards/game.
Over the final eight games of the 2004 season, Moses had 948 receiving yards and finished the year with a career-high 168 yards vs. UConn on Nov. 25 – his fifth 100-yard receiving effort of the season. He also finished the year with a 22-game catch streak intact and, with a reception in RU's 2005 season opener at Illinois, will move into 10th place on the BIG EAST list for consecutive games with at least one catch.
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., (TQC Foundation), the creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, is an independent, charitable organization founded in 1994. Over 50 prominent journalists, commentators, announcers, and former players select the winner through a process audited by a CPA firm. The award is presented annually on the ESPN College Awards Show and the TQC Foundation hosts the party at Walt Disney World for the finalists and sponsoring organizations of the many awards presented on ESPN.
The Rutgers football team opens its 2005 season on September 3 when it travels to the University of Illinois. The game is set for noon and will be televised nationally on ESPN2. The Scarlet Knights begin their home schedule against Villanova on September 10, the first of six games at Rutgers Stadium.

Can't say I noticed, but I don't have the Wintergrasp Timer add-on.
Plus I'm an Oceanic player so lag is either 300-450 or a redline spike up to 1200. One server meltdown, it hit 3000 or so. In Stratholme. Unable to move or even open bags, while a swarm of angry level 60 skeletons slooooooooooowly beat my 80 to death. Fittingly, Baron's mount dropped when I logged back in the next day.

Dalaran is above Crystalsong, it's a zone within a zone. Like I said in my post below, Crystalsong mobs show combat log actions even when you're in Dalaran, so the mobs are obviously loaded and doing things even when you're in Dalaran and haven't been to Crystalsong in hours.
DarkWalker said...
If you lag in Dalaran, you probably will lag in the piece of forest under Dalaran; WoW servers seem to operate mostly in 2D when it comes to deciding what information to send to the client, which means for places with multiple levels people can stand on, you get the simultaneous performance hit of all the levels. Next time you are collecting Crystalsong Carrots, pay attention to your frame rate; it should fall to a little above Dalaran levels whenever you get exactly under Dalaran.

Yo dawg we heard you like zones, so we put a zone in your zone so you can lag while you lag!

My very first job was working on my aunt's ice cream truck. During the hot Florida summers, I'd ring the bell and yell "Ice Cream!!" out the little side window. She also made me double as a tutor for elementary school kids.
I was only 13 and although I can barely remember, I'm sure my "pay" was little more than $10 or $20. A couple years later, I was working at McDonald's. I've worked ever since, either during the summers as a student or year-round. I still remember this being a point of tension for my parents.
Mom: "I think she should work."
Dad: "She's going to have to work the rest of her life. There's no need to rush into it."
I'm not sure who was right.
Do you think kids should start working as soon as they are old enough? Is it, at the age of 15, an essential step in financial literacy? Or, are these things young people will eventually learn anyway, perhaps while working a part-time job while in college?

I can't choose either answer. I think it depends on the child. It also depends on how many activities they have outside of school and how many things they "want".

I agree with Belinda. The two choices in the poll don't quite cover it. I don't think every 12 year old out there is able to get a job, but certainly could stand to do some chores to earn money. I would think a more appropriate age would be around driving age. Car insurance is expensive and so is dating these days. I had to pay for my own car insurance when I was a teen, even though I didn't have a car (drive my parents car when I needed it). Driving and dating was a priveledge that I had to pay my own way.

Obama came down to Georgia, he was looking to make a deal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: the conservatives want an apeal.
When he came across this young man in a protest saying its gotta stop.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you are a pretty good protester, boy, but give the devil his due:… See More
"I bet this pen of gold against your soul, to think I'm better than you.
The boy said: "My name's Cameron and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cos this reform will never win."
Cameron, fall on your knees and you pray to God real hard.
'Cos liberals are loose in Georgia and the Obama's playin' this card.
And if you win you get this appeal stopped before it's signed
But if you lose then Obama gets your dime.
Obama opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he signed his name below.
And he lit up a cigarette and it made an evil hiss.
Then a group of liberals joined in and it sounded something like this.
When Obama finished, Cameron said: "Well you're pretty good ol' man.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, I'll tell you what you've done."
Fire in the white house, run boys, run.
The socialist party thinks it's won
People being pushed around losing their dough.
"Mister does your president care?"
"No, child, no."
Obama bowed his head because he pulled a stupid feat.
He laid that burnt up paper on the ground at Cameron's feet.
Cameron said: "Obama just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, this reform will never win."
And he sang Fire in the white house, run boys, run.
The socialist party thinks it's won
People being pushed around losing their dough.
"Mister does your president care?"
"No, child, no."

16 is a good age to start working. They are still limited in hours a week worked and other regulations. I started when I was 16 and paid for my own car, gas, and other misc expenses. At $3.40 an hour at Mickey D's (20hrs a week), I couldn't afford my car insurance, so I did get help there at first. But, I would like to see my wife get a job before my 17 year old son.

There are no stinkin' jobs,
It's good, but you left out some verses. Otherwise it doesn't match "The Devil". Let me see if I can fill them in: After "saying it's gotta stop".
Obama jumped up on a hickory stump, and said "Boy, let me tell ya what".
You probably already knew it, and I hate America, true,
Then continue with "And if you care to take a dare".

There's a big IF here. IF the child has very good grades and is involved in civic, athletic and academic activities that are going to help them in the future (i.e. get them into the right college, help with scholarships, etc) then they can put off getting a real job for awhile. IF this doesn't apply, they need to start working ASAP which means 14 or 15 even if it's Mc D's, babysitting, etc.

I'm with a child having a job at 15-16 years old. With the high cost of clothes and shoes, having them pay for items will teach them a lesson early in life. Working at a young age has it's advantages. After working at Burger King, Shoneys, Krystals and Waffle House I knew I had to go to college. I refused to work at these places 40 hours a week and get treated like crap.
Not having a child experience the dirty grunt work at a early age limits them when they get older. Being involved with school activites such as sports, band, clubs etc.. is not a reason to work. If the grades start to fall yes, work may need to be eliminated or cut back. Kids these days have it to good and parents are struggling to buy certain items, playstation, wii, ipods, clothes, shoes, cell phones etc…
Get a job and grow up.

I started mowing laws for neighbors at 10. Back in those days you didn't have the government demanding that your employer pay useless Social Security or Medicare, check you for citizenship and every other job destroying measure they have forced these days. It was just between me and my neighbors. The neighbor's husband had died and she needed someone to cut the grass and I needed some money. Then her next door neighbor offered me a job and so did other neighbors. That's how a kid learns the value of hard work, doing a good job, and the importance of word of mouth advertising. Today we would all likely be up on charges.
Then I took advantage of a strike by lazy grocery store workers, lied about my age, and got a job as a box-boy at only 14 1/2. You didn't have to show tons of paperwork back then and again the relationship was between you and the employer as it always should be. Screw the union, I was a proud scab making more money then I ever thought possible, working 10-12 hours a day and even making double time on Sundays. Then the strike ended, the company kept be on as long as they could but eventually had to let me go. In all honesty the store manager probably knew I was too young to join the union and they were pressuring him to force me (closed shop and all). I learned from that job about even harder work, the value of getting some real skills so you don't have to collect carts from a parking lot when its over 100 degrees, and how destructive unions and other labor laws are to enabling people to work. I also learned that when people know you are a hard worker, they will do what they can to keep you employed (even in the face of union scum).
At 16 I got a job at McDonalds and definitely discovered what hard work was about. I can see that most employees at McDonalds here in Atlanta don't know what hard work is about since I never see any of them doing any, but where I worked in California, the work was hard. I learned right during the interview all I needed to know about the minimum wage too. I was offered the job and told I would be making the minimum wage. I was asked if I wanted to work the closing shift. I asked how much more it paid and I was told 25 cents more per hour and unlimited food. I obviously accepted. I delivered more value to the employer and they paid me more money. That is how it works, and why a minimum wage is so destructive for folks who are still acquiring enough job skills and value to meet that ever-rising minimum.
A kid should start doing something for money as soon as they are able. It teaches valuable lessons (many of which the parent needs to help them understand). Sitting around thinking everything should come your way without having to earn it may be how you become part of a valuable voting block in this country, but it does nothing for your self-esteem or your future.
March 29th, 2010

I agree David… also parents don't ask the store manager if they are hiring, let your child do the work. Another thing, let the child fill out the application and make them put on some nice clothes (church). I seen this guy getting interviewed for a job and he had on jeans / tee shirt and boots. Why was the manager even giving him the time…..

Gosh I don't know. While I can understand that having some kind of job teaches responsibility and the value of the dollars, I really don't see the rush when people have to work for 40 or 50 years for the rest of their lives.
I think that the high school years should be filled with demanding academic work, sports, volunteering, scouting, arts (drama, music, drawing, etc) and the like. Those kinds of things in my opinion teach much more valuable lessons than flipping burgers 20 hrs a week.
I wouldn't object to a summer job, as long as it is no more than 20 hrs a week. But then again, I also feel that there are few precious summers in one's life. Soon enough they will have to work 40, 50 maybe even 60 or 70 hours a week year round. I am not crazy about starting any sooner than they have to.
And as far as teaching the value of money, my 7 and 9 year olds are already learning that by earning money doing jobs around the house and we are teaching them how to manage it: how much to spend, how much to save, how much to tithe.

Just be ready for it because believe me, with the job comes the attitude with a teen. Suddenly, they make their own money and know it all in life. If I had it to do over, I would have NEVER allowed my daughter to take a job at 16 and I sure won't let my 15 year old think about it anytime soon. I like it much better when I can get them to bath the dog or wash the car for extra money and not have all that lip that comes with "I make my own money". Just remember that folks before you send them out there.
March 29th, 2010

@jb..And with that lip that they give you, they would hear from me that they don't make enough to support theirself, so they can keep that lip..I babysat when I was 13 until I turned 16, then I got a "reaL' job and have been working since then..But I never told my Mom that I was making my own money that I didn't have to do something..If I had of, I would of picked a few of my teeth up off of the floor..

Becky, don't think I've not thought of it but then I'd just go to jail. Also, she's been working 30-35 hours a week since she turned 16 so she actually makes pretty good money for a teen and buys all of her clothes and necessities. I just would have preferred letting her be dependent on us a little longer in life instead of jumping out there so soon and feeling like she doesn't need us (for most things) anymore.
March 29th, 2010

Yeah I made my own money but I was still living in my parents house, so that killed the attitude real quick. When my dad said he would not pay $80 for a pair of converse basketball shoes back in 1985, I made up in my mind that I needed a job. Baskeball camp was $150 and I was averaging 2 pair of shoes in summer camp. Dad wasn't to happy about me having a job but it paid for my basketball.
And yes high school does have some special momments but during the summer when kids are sitting home alone, things start to be explored especially the human body.

And again, I won't make the same mistake with the upcoming one
March 29th, 2010

I think you're looking at it backwards — instead of approaching it, "SHOULD a child work", I think the thought should be, "What else can give a child the same sense of satisfaction and self-confidence as earning their own money?" For some kids, who may be intensely involved in extracurriculars that involve hours and hours of practice (high level sports, high level art/music/dance), they may obtain the same sense of satisfaction and self-confidence from succeeding in those activities — and, indeed, participation in those activities may preclude an actual, paying job.
For kids who don't have those outlets, I can't think of a better way for a kid to exercise independence and develop a sense of confidence and self-reliance than working for someone who expects them to actually work. My daughter was one who put out babysitter flyers in the neighborhood when she finished her babysitting course at 12 — within weeks, she had a steady clientele of a dozen families, and she approached it very professionally. She had a "babysitting bag" filled with books, age-appropriate toys and inexpensive craft projects (the dollar aisle at Target is a wonderful thing . . . ) and was in huge demand for years. She later tried her hand working in the restaurant business, and quickly decided that babysitting was easier and more lucrative (and not so taxable . . .) At college, she quickly lined up a part-time job as soon as she landed on campus, and she takes a great deal of pride in refusing my offers of money: "That's ok, Mom, I'm good," she'll say, even though we can well afford living expenses. She enjoys the independence.
My son was a referee from the age of 11 up until he went to college, and then he began lifeguarding in the summers (summer being an off-season for his refereeing.) He doesn't work at college due to a very demanding course and his determination to finish in four years, but his summer work is what pays for his 'extras' throughout the school year – he's gotten good at budgeting.
In both cases, I think it's been valuable, because they've learned to work with other people's expectations, adapt, and learn how to prioritize and budget their time — sometime college kids often have a VERY hard time doing.
And I've told both of my kids, a la Dave Ramsey, that if they sign up for a credit card, I will NOT be a co-signer and they will break their mother's heart!
jb, if either one of my kids had said, "It's my own money," I would have agreed, but I had made it clear that, as the parent, I still had veto power over inappropriate clothing. Or suggested that if they wanted that much independence, they needed to start paying room and board! Sometimes they spent it on things that didn't last or that they thought they wanted, but turned out not to really need — it's a good life lesson to learn at 16 instead of 26.

I realized then and now how important a college education was from lessons learned by my first few jobs, starting at 13. I worked in my Aunt's shoe store during the holidays. $15 a day in the 70s, but it taught me how to sell and deal with customers. I also worked 2 summers in a pants factory as it provided 40 hours and overtime. This experience reinforced my desire to get an education. I knew I would go to college from an early age, but boy did these jobs make the desire even stronger! I also worked during college and had a good resume upon graduation. I am a woman who has always worked. I was taught that every opportunity provides a life lesson and a lady has to be self sufficient. I have already had your conversation with my 13 and 14 year old. They are both great students but are ready for money/career lessons in the real world. They need to learn how to compete in the working world and a little early experience will give them the edge.

@jb: I want to hear the conversation with the younger one: "But you let HER do it!"

Feedback: Communists ruined the land
If Mr. or Mrs. Strowbridge (Letters, May 14, Communism alive in Island County) had any idea of the environmental destruction the communist system caused they would understand the puzzlement of accusing an environmental group of being communist.
The communist system had no concern for land use or overuse, water pollution, air quality, or human safety (recall a place called Chernobyl).
That is where the befuddlement and failure to understand come from - the t-shirts are cute, require little thinking, and no concern for deeper, longer lasting issues.
Concern for the environment requires thinking about the distant future, looking further than your property line, understanding that we are each and all involved in accepting responsibility for taking care of the land we live on.

'Shut up and take my money!' That was the first thing I said when I learned that Tim Schafer and co. were making a new point-and-click adventure game. It didn't matter that they'd incorrectly assumed everyone thought that the genre was dead, it didn't really phase me when they announced that the game would be split into halves; after all, some of the finest of these extinct adventure games we've had in the last few years have been episodic in nature. It miffed me a bit when they decided that big name Hollywood talent was more important than getting the whole thing out on time, but to be fair, the voice acting in this thing is fantastic, so no complaints there really.
Put simply, there was a lot of excitement for Broken Age.
It is, in many ways, a delight. In one universe, Shay, brought to life with a marvellously understated performance from Mr. Wood, gets up for another day of routine aboard the spaceship Bossa Nova. He lives out his days in a childish paradise -- eating ice-cream, playing with train sets, and rescuing little knitted critters from staged peril before enjoying their hugs. The ship is a daycare prison, guarded by an overbearing AI (Jennifer Hale is fantastic) who addresses Shay as if he were her toddler son, and shields him from anything even remotely involving risk or danger. But adventure comes a-calling, and Shay learns the hard way that to be an adult is to make hard decisions, and that seeking danger has its consequences.

This week on Game Buzz, we discuss Don Mattrick jumping ship from Microsoft to Zynga; we take a look at the suggestion that the Xbox One dashboard has been designed purposefully around advertisement opportunities; and we ask how on earth Microsoft managed to mess up a good thing in Games With Gold. Outside of the Redmond omnishambles, we talk a little bit about Broken Age and how unfettered ambition could spell danger for the crowdfunding model; we shake our heads at the recently leaked EA survey for SimCity; and we try and solve the specs vs. games debate.

The Double Fine Adventure ignited public interest in Kickstarter and adventure gaming back in 2012. After asking for a modest budget of $400,000 to develop a new point & click title, Tim Schafer and co. quickly received over three million Dollars, a massive war chest capable of funding even the most ambitious adventure game. As the project revealed itself as Broken Age and more details became apparent, our excitement continually swelled, despite the promised October 2012 release date merrily shooting past us.
A year on, however, and the project has hit an incredibly controversial stumbling block. Schafer revealed that Broken Age has somehow become too ambitious to complete even with their enormous budget, meaning that the project will have to be cut into two halves - the first of which will be released in January next year in order to raise some extra dosh.
How could this happen? Where did the money go? Does it actually matter? Over the next few hundred words, we're going to take a look at how runaway success can be your own worst enemy.
Click here to read more...
Many of us have been impatiently waiting for Broken Age (previously known as the Double Fine Adventure that ignited mainstream interest in Kickstarter as a viable game funding method), and it looks like you'll be waiting a while longer. Tim Schafer has explained that the title has now been cut into two halves, the first of which is out at the start of next year.
The reason? Effectively, the game has gotten so big that Double Fine needs more money to finish it. You know, despite raising $3,336,371, a budget that most adventure game developers could only dream of.Click here to read more...
Double Fine's generational strategy game Massive Chalice has now surpassed its $725,000 Kickstarter target after just five days of campaigning. Instead of stretch goals, Schafer and co. plan to engage the community throughout the game's development in terms of how best to expand the scope of the game without pushing deadlines back too far or biting off more than they can chew.
Described as a mix of Fire Emblem, Game Of Thrones and XCOM, Massive Chalice sounds rather wonderful - and is now definitely going to enter development. If you want in on the ground floor, you've still got 23 days to check out the pitch.
Double Fine have taken to Kickstarter once again in order to crowd-fund a new title. Massive Chalice is described as the lovechild of "turn-based tactics and feudal fantasy," presenting players with a mash-up of Game Of Thrones, X-COM and Fire Emblem.
Once you've stopped drooling, we've got the pitch, premise and details after the break.Click here to read more...
Double Fine's Tim Schafer has said that the developers are looking to reacquire the distribution rights for digital title Costume Quest and Stacking.Click here to read more...
Humble Double Fine Bundle | Pay What You Want | Humble Bundle

Pay over the average ($7.92 at the tie of writing) to unlock Brutal Legend. Pay over $35 to unlock Broken Age.
Broken Age (AKA The Artist Formerly Known As Double Fine Adventure) has received its first trailer, depicting its two protagonists living parallel lives, but separated by time and space. With over 90,000 Kickstarter and PayPal backers on board, not to mention being the project that started our love affair with crowd funding, it's fair to say that Double Fine have some fairly high expectations to live up to.

Eva's Sorbet
Lemon Cabbage Kimchi
46 plants and 150 recipes in 4 seasons
The minute Didi Emmons, a chef from Boston, met Eva Sommaripa--a near legendary farmer whose 200-plus uncommon herbs, greens, and edible "weeds" grace the menus of many famous restaurants in the Northeast--something amazing happened. Not only did Eva's Garden become Didi's refuge and herb-infused Shangri-La, the two women also forged a lasting friendship that has blossomed and endured over time.
Wild Flavors follows a year at Eva's Garden through the seasons. It showcases Emmons's creative talents, featuring herbs (African basil, calaminth, lovage) and wild foods more...
...Eva has been a role model for me in so many ways.
For instance, I have always had a strong distaste
for consumerism. Eva showed me how to refrain from
judging others, but at the same time to revel in
and celebrate my own values… I admire Eva's
ability to ask for what she wants or needs,
without apology. She's carved out a unique
and successful business of her own in a very
tough line of work, through her passion, personality,
and a slew of growing knowledge...
...When she's making sales calls, Eva has the quickest
recovery rate from rejection I've ever seen. Her
joy in connecting with people is unstoppable, and
the constant ringing of her phone is one measure
of this joy. If I ran a bustling farm, working
seventeen hours a day, sleeping five hours a night,
could I amass the large number of friends that Eva has?
Definitely not, but I like to think her gracious and
bold personality has rubbed off some after enjoying
her all these years.
To help organize the book, I have chosen to highlight
four of Eva's core principles: salvaging, community,
bartering, and preserving. While I have linked each
of them to a certain season, these principles
(and practices) really happen throughout the year...
...A guiding tenet of this book is Eva's philosophy of
eating a plant through its entire life cycle. Eva
teaches us to not be afraid to try eating a plant
in a new way, and to use every part of the plant.
This is far more cost-efficient than harvesting the
plant just once. At industrial farms, the seeds,
flowers, roots, buds, and stems of vegetables and
leafy greens are left by the wayside. It would be
hard to use the whole plant on an industrial
level--for example, the arugula flower is extremely
succulent, but it would wither and die if it were
transported any distance. Eva shows us that there
are many stages of a plant's life that we can
enjoy if we grow food ourselves.
Eating herbs when they are just plucked from
nutrient-rich soil can make you reconsider
their prominence in your cooking and your diet.
I am thrilled to be calling attention to many
lesser-known herbs. Many of the plants in this
book may be a bit unfamiliar to you as well,
but I hope my words, photos, and recipes arouse
your curiosity and prod you to seek out these
plants, whether you find them at a farmers' market,
in the woods or fields, or in the pages of a seed
catalog. And then I hope you cook these plants,
perhaps using a recipe or two from this book. My
hope is that you'll grow more familiar and confident
and eventually fly out of this nest, to follow
merrily wherever the plants lead you, down your
own lovely herb- and weed-strewn path.
--Didi Emmons
This recipe is great when you don't have a lot of time. Included is a secret recipe for quick-and-dirty preserved lemons. If you want, add a few spoonfuls of capers and a squeeze of lemon instead of the preserved lemon. This is equally good with broccoli or rapini instead of kale. You can also add a chopped tomato.
Makes 3 or 4 servings
18 sun-dried tomatoes
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3–4 tablespoons preserved lemons or 1 heaping tablespoon capers plus the juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes, or more to taste
1 pound whole-grain linguini or spaghetti
1 bunch kale, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the pasta. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and keep at a low simmer.
2. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from the heat. Place the dried tomatoes in the boiling water and let soak until they are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove them from the water and slice thinly.
3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the butter begins to brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Once it seems uniformly golden, remove it from the heat, add the onion and garlic, and stir. Stir in the tomatoes, preserved lemons, and chile flakes. Set aside.
4. Bring the pasta water back to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and boil for 6 minutes. Add the kale and boil another 3 minutes. Drain, but do not rinse. Return the hot pasta and kale to the pot.
5. Add the tomato mixture to the pasta. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste and more chile flakes if you'd like more heat.
6. Plate the pasta and serve with grated Parmesan.

Didi Emmons (photo, left, by Lolita Parker, Jr.) began cooking omelets when she was ten and had her own catering business by the age of fourteen. She earned a BS in foodservice management at NYU and moved to Boston, working first for food writer Steven Raichlen in Boston.
Emmons worked as a stagiaire to receive her Grande Diplome from La Varenne (cooking school) in Paris and then returned to work in Boston kitchens. She opened and ran four successful restaurants over the next 13 years.
She has written two cookbooks, the first, Vegetarian Planet, which was nominated for a James Beard Award, and Entertaining for a Veggie Planet, which won the IACP award (formerly the Julia Child Awards) in the healthy cooking category.
Emmons subsequently opened Haley House Bakery Cafe, a non-profit cafe in Roxbury, MA whose staff are people transitioning from homelessness and incarceration. She has since begun a program at Haley House Bakery Cafe, called "Take Back the Kitchen," teaching Roxbury and Dorchester residents how to eat and cook healthfully.
Forty-two years ago, in South Dartmouth Massachusetts,
Eva Sommaripa began growing herbs and greens for her
family. A few years later her garden evolved
into a bucolic 2-acre organic farm. With the help
of a skilled crew, she grows over 200 varieties of
herbs, greens, flowers, and wild edibles that
are sought by Boston's top chefs. She now sells
to restaurants around New England and New York,
as well as Whole Foods. She is an authority on
herbs and greens and is often quoted in newspapers and magazines.

A Grand Traverse County jail inmate posed as someone else and walked out the door untouched.
Nicholas Yoder was caught a short time later, but the Traverse City Record-Eagle (http://bit.ly/U1tOby) reports the 23-year-old's escape on Thursday has put the jail's procedures under the microscope.
Yoder was released around 2 p.m. when he claimed to be an inmate scheduled for discharge. Police were after him a few minutes later when the mix-up was discovered.
He was on the run for a little more than an hour before authorities arrested him at Central Grade School.
Sheriff Tom Bensley says Yoder was in a cell that held several inmates when a corrections officer called the name of a different inmate. That inmate was asleep, so Yoder walked up and pretended to be him.

I think this recipe needs some work. There was too much liquid, which made it soggy and mushy after only one day. I would cut the cucumber into chunks rather than slices, and not salt it, to keep it fresher and crisper. The salt could be mixed into the vinaigrette, otherwise the potatoes taste bland and the cucumbers salty. Overall, not my favorite.
Bavarian Potato-Cucumber Salad
TeresaMichelsen Posted: 01/10/09
NMruth Posted: 12/04/09
This is the best potato salad I have ever made. I made it for a party and people begged to take leftovers home. The fresh cukes, I used the English ones wrapped in plastic wrap and didn't peel them, add a great flavor. The salad is light without the heavy mayonnaise taste of so many others. It wasn't watery for me--as another reviewer stated-- until the end--I made a triple batch. Just pour any excess off. The next time you make the recipe you can always add more potatoes or decrease the liquid if it is too moist. This is a keeper!

Lenoir Memorial receives $282,898 grant from The Duke Endowment
Posted On: June 25 2014
Lenoir Memorial has received a $282,898 grant from The Duke Endowment to fund the development of a primary stroke center. The grant will be used to develop a comprehensive program that will stabilize the treatment stroke patients including initial acute care. Program components will include prevention, treatment, and post-care follow-up. Constance Hengel, director of Community Programming and Development states, "Death rates from stroke in eastern NC are among the highest in the state and the nation so better stroke outcomes are the goal in this intervention. Rapid recognition of stroke and reduction of time from event to treatment will be a major focus in the project. Time is brain and every minute counts for someone having a stroke. Our hope is to help the community becomes more aware of stroke symptoms and improved recognition and time for getting affected residents to our hospital quickly so we can provide rapid treatment."

Terrilogio Primitivo 2012
Terrilogio - Puglia - Italy
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
The beautiful southern Italian region of Puglia is a particularly fascinating wine region for fans of modern Italian produce. For much of the twentieth century, the region was considered one associated primarily with the kind of mass produced, dull Italian wine which almost cost the country its reputation in the 1970s. However, Puglian wine makers today are determined to prove to the world that their wineries and native grape varietals can match those of Italy's more famous regions, and have been on a mission to produce stunning wines made in the traditional, distinctive Puglian style. This generally means wines with big characters, a relatively high alcohol content, and plenty of dark, deep, complex fruit flavors and aromas; wines which are unique, made with traditional methods and techniques, and which are utterly delicious and inviting.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

As part of its 'neighbourhood policy' the EU offers nearby countries in eastern Europe and the Mediterranean the opportunity to take part in EU research cooperation and exchange programmes.
MEPs are set to vote on such participation by Israel which has an association agreement with the EU and whether it should be made conditional on 'respect for commitments towards a comprehensive political settlement.' This is the aim of the Socialist group (to which Labour MEPs belong) and the Green group.
London MEP Sarah Ludford Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman is strongly opposed to the conditionality move:
The Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso spiritual leader of the Tibetan people has addressed a formal sitting of the European Parliament as part of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
Commenting on his visit London MEP Sarah Ludford Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman said:
"The Dalai Lama's non-violent approach and his determination to engage in dialogue with China is an inspiration to all who care about peaceful routes to democracy human rights and justice."
"Unless the Chinese authorities open up to the possibility of such dialogue over Tibet the chance of a peaceful outcome that meets the aspirations of the Tibetan people for their identity and rights to be recognised cannot be guaranteed."
In a judgement today the European Court of Human Rights (which is not the EU court) has ruled that the UK government's refusal to delete the fingerprints and DNA of 2 British people not convicted of an offence one of them 11 years old was a breach of the privacy provisions of the European Convention of Human Rights as the policy 'could not be regarded as necessary in democratic society'.
London MEP Sarah Ludford Liberal Democrat European justice and human rights spokeswoman has recently led a successful campaign to set 12 - rather than 6 as many governments wanted - as the minimum age for fingerprinting for visas and passports in Europe. Commenting on today's judgement she said:
December 10th marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) signed in 1948. Motivated by the experiences of the Second World War the declaration was the first expression of the rights to which all humans are entitled.
London MEP and Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman Sarah Ludford said:
"Celebrations will be tempered by the recognition of how many challenges remain from developed countries which still practice execution to failed states where life is cheap and full of fear."
The Socialist (PSE) and Conservative (EPP) groups which together have a majority in the European Parliament have allied to deny a request made by the Liberal Green and the Communist groups for a debate on Guantanamo and the CIA extraordinary rendition programme in next week's European Parliamentary plenary session in Strasbourg.
London MEP Sarah Ludford Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman was vice-chair of the enquiry by MEPs 2 years ago into European governments' collusion with illegal rendition and CIA flights the programme of kidnap torture and secret prisons that broke all norms of international and domestic law. She said:
Leading EU justice and home affairs ministers are meeting in Washington tomorrow
with their counterparts in the Bush administration. High on the agenda are data-sharing for fighting crime and terrorism and what data protection safeguards should accompany it.
Already the US has successfully demanded the transfer of booking information on all air passengers flying the Atlantic and from January will require that all travellers (including Britons and other Europeans who do not need a visa) fill out a prior online application called an ESTA. They are now seeking access to European countries' DNA and fingerprint databases.
London MEP Sarah Ludford Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights
spokeswoman said:
Just ahead of Christmas MEPs are expected to pass new EU legislation this week to make toys safer by toughening the regulations.
The new law will require clearer 'warning' labels expand the list of banned substances to include allergenic fragrances sometimes found in playdough and seek to reduce the risk of suffocation or strangling from small detachable parts of toys. Also this week MEPs will strengthen controls to tackle the illegal trade of counterfeit goods which can include toys.
London's Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"The festive season is good timing for the EU to act as Santa Claus by improving child safety. This adds to the long record of action that the EU has taken to protect both the consumer and our children over the years."
Madam President may I first of all endorse what my colleague Marco Cappato has said applauding the action at the UN to try and achieve the decriminalization of homosexuality around the world. I also support that strongly.
I wanted to say a word - and I agree here with Hélène Flautre - about the absolutely scandalous absence of the Council and the presidency this morning at the Sakharov Prize ceremony. It was a great pity that the presidency was not present to hear the moving and courageous message from Hu Jia's wife. I think it might have led to certain thought-provoking reassessments of our relationship with China.
MEPs are set to endorse legislation approved by the European Parliament's Transport Committee which would enable cross-border enforcement of penalties for the serious driving offences of speeding drink driving failure to wear a seat belt and running red lights.
Currently tickets for traffic offences incurred in states other than the driver's home country mostly get ignored. This means impunity for irresponsible driving that puts safety at risk. The new legislation would mean that the authorities in the offender's home state will be notified that he has failed to pay within the specified period and they will then recognise and enforce the penalty whether criminal or administrative.
MEPs will today call for an end to what a report by the European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee describes as a 'high number of violations' in EU countries of the European human rights convention.
The report includes a specific demand for a frank response and pledge of 'never again' by EU states to the European Parliament's 2007 report on 'extraordinary rendition' The report found that up to a dozen European countries colluded with CIA kidnap torture and secret prisons in the 'war on terror'.

Beyond the above Celebrity provides wonderful meals whether at assigned seating or at 'select' or anytime seating.
Our cabin was 1401. A C2 cabin of 190 sf and an over-sized balcony of approx. 60 sf. We picked this cabin because it was near the ship's aft and because of the extra 6-9 sf of balcony. A fruit basket, fresh flowers, and evening appetizers were provided. Cabin and dining service was at the highest level.
The singers and dancers in the main show room were some of the most talented that I've seen on the high seas.
From Cherbourg we toured Mont Saint Michel. The tour director on our bus was a French woman who spoke impeccable English and who had the most wonderful presentation for the entire 7 hours.
As with other large cruise ship's, stability on the ocean was excellent.
In summery, Celebrity provides an excellent cruise experience and the 'Eclipse' is a wonderful ship. Southampton was our departure port. It is a 2 hour train ride from London's Victoria Station. Jury's Hotel was inexpensive and only a $10 taxi ride from the port.
Le Havre is not a great city to tour but it is a good jumping off point for tours of the Normandy beaches.
Cherbourg was only toured by bus on the was to Mont Saint Michel.
Vigo, Spain is a pretty town with a beautiful bay. Tours to Santiago de Compostela can be booked from this port.
Ponta Delgada is a cute town with friendly people in the Portuguese Azores.


text: On Reality TV: First of all, don't get me wrong— I enjoy watching shows like the Biggest Loser. They're fun to watch & can be motivating. The thing is, because the "Losers" start out at such a large weight (over 200 lbs, sometimes over 300 lbs) and focus on nothing but fitness, each week they lose massive amounts of weight. Some contestants are extremely upset to "only" lose 5 lbs in one week. While this may be fine for the show (providing us watchers with delicious drama), this can be harmful to real people trying to make real, lasting changes. This can lead "regular" people to have higher expectations (although unrealistic) followed by disappointments at weight loss of 1 lbs or less per week (which is, in reality, healthier). Obviously it's just TV, and nothing on TV should be fully believed or put into practice in the "real world", and this may not be a revelation for anyone else, but I really think my expectations have been warped by shows like that (and magazines, etc). What is "healthy"? To be honest, something different for everyone. But 1 lb per week is generally seen as "healthy" weight loss. Come on guys, let's strive for health! :) Making this into a lifestyle instead of something temporary is infinitely healthier and easier to maintain. ————— On Scales: I'm going to just go ahead and say it: there is no point in weighing yourself everyday. No point. Any weight fluctuations in a day is most probably just water weight. Each pound of fat is about 3500 calories. That is a lot of calories. You're not going to magically lose 1 lb in a day. Sorry, it's just not happening. It's also unhealthy to cultivate an obsessive mindset about scales/ weighing in. When the flavor of your day changes depending on the number on that screen, you know it's gone too far. And it's addictive! I know how tempting it is to weigh in every morning. But why bother? Instead, to keep track, once a week is more than sufficient. :)
