BTDT Moms - Diapers??
Comments (18)
I like the Parent's Choice from Walmart, but also I think Huggies are the best. For Wipes I like Huggies all the way, they are so soft. The Pampers Swaddlers were great when she was first born.

I'm a FTM, but most of my mom friends like the Swaddlers for newborns. I was going to do the same thing, but then people started telling me how they can be allergic to certain ones, etc. So my new plan was to just buy a $10 giftcard every time I went to target, which I never did, lol. I bought a couple of packs of swaddler newborns and a fewsize 1's in various brands. A lot of times it just depends on the baby, the way they are shaped, how fat their legs are, male vs. female, etc. I just didn't want to get stuck with a bunch of diapers I hated!
If you keep your reciepts a lot of stores will let you exchange unopened diapers for a different size ( I took mine to target even after a year and they exchanged them no problem). For wipes, I buy pampers sensitive skin un scented. For the first few months you will want a nice thick wipe that won't rip and that cleans well.
Mom to a 11 year old mini drama queen, a 5 year old super hero and a little chunky tough guy.
my mom had to cloth diaper us as kids and couldn't even use the plastic covers or anything cuz we broke out. the only disposables she could use were luvs and they had to be changed the second they were wet.
i'm hoping my poor little girl isn't as crazy but just in case i'm only buying small packs of diapers to try out first. so far all i've gotten is 1 pk of nb target brand. tomorrow i'll grab a pk of the babies r us brand(they're always having crazy deals on theirs!) and then once she gets here we will decide if we need to try other brands as well. target is actually not very expensive and it's super close for "oh crap we're out" runs and babies r us i watch their's go on sale so often it'd be nice to save money.
eventually we plan on trying out lots of brands to be sure what she can/can not wear just in case they're on sale or whatever but for now that's our plan.
as for wipes target had a box(9 pks i believe?) for i think it was around $7 they're unscented and not just refills they have the little opener on the top.
I always use Pampers when they are brand new. The swaddlers are so soft and work great. I switch to Huggies around 4-6 months. They hold up much better. I love the Pampers sensitive wipes for newborns and then just buy whatever after that. I actually really like the Target brand wipes. DH like the Huggies wipes. I buy whatever is NON scented. I hate the scented ones.
I would avoid Luvs. They gave my baby a rash so bad I thought it would never clear up. The Wal-Mart brand Parent's Choice is good, we used those after the Luvs fiasco. Last week there was a sell on Pampers so I bought some of those, they seem to work well, no rash but they seem a little bigger made almost, she's leaked thru a couple times.

Osho,In the past I have heard you say that for a disciple to move from master to master is like continuously drilling holes that never go deep enough to reach the water. Yet, that seems to be just what Zen monks did – moving from one master to another, often with the same question.Trust and intimacy with the master were apparently less significant than finding the master who could create the right situation.Would you please comment?
Maneesha, They were not going from one master to another master. They were moving from one teacher to another teacher in search of the master. They were moving from one monastery to another monastery to find a place from where they did not have to go anywhere else. It was a search for the master amongst thousands of teachers. One has to move to feel with whom your heart starts dancing.
Today the situation is different. There are not thousands of teachers proclaiming that they are enlightened, you don't have much choice. Still, the fact remains: Don't stop unless you have found the one who goes straight into your being – just like an arrow without missing the target.
It is said of Baso that he never left his master. Although the master said, "You can move, you can go into other monasteries, there are other masters, other ways of teaching, other ways of reaching. Why don't you move?"
Baso's answer is worth remembering. He said, "Others are moving because they have not found… I cannot move because I am already there where I want to be. I have found you, and in finding you I have found my heart's longing. Now there is nowhere to go."
Once a disciple finds the master, the master is his whole world, his love affair.
But before that, Maneesha, it is perfectly right: one should move, one should not remain with someone with whom he cannot feel the intimacy, with whom he cannot have the same wavelength of life. He may be right or wrong. That does not matter. What matters is whether you feel yourself enriched by the presence of your master, whether you feel aflame. Then there is no need to go anywhere.
Her second question is:
Osho,As a species we regard ourselves as the most conscious and evolved form of life, and thus able to help all other forms of life. But Zen seems to indicate another equally important truth – that all life forms, and the most mundane of activities involved in life, are all potential triggers to help us realize the ultimate consciousness.Through these evenings with you, this has become too obvious to comment on; and yet too marvelous, not to.

Tip towel or dish towel bibs easily make the favorites list. It's no wonder why, they provide excellent coverage, and keep the mess off of clothes.
Unfortunately, this style baby bib can be tricky to find in stores. Not to worry, with a little creativity you can whip up some custom bibs for a special baby in very little time.
Measure approximately 3.5" from the top of the bib and draw a circle ~3.5" in diameter. A kitchen glass is often the perfect size. Cut this circle out. Keep in mind a baby's neck is tiny! Don't make the circle bigger- it is supposed to be small.
Next cut from the center top of the towel down to the circle as indicated in the diagram above.
Take you bias tape and beginning on the top edge of the towel stitch it down to the circle, all the way around it, and back up the other side. Finish the bias tape.
Take your velcro and pin it to the back side of one flap and the front side of the other closer to the circle than the top edge of the towel. Stitch in place.
That's it! Towel bibs are such easy baby gifts to make. Make several and wrap them up for a unique baby gift.
Were you looking for the over-the-head, t-shirt neck style? Stay tuned for the ribbing neck version of this bib tutorial. The velcro closure is just one way to make this type of bib.

In next 2 weeks I need to create 8 paintings.
Today, I created my first painting called "United". The painting is about friendship between people and pets.
This painting is about the friendship between a dog and a boy. They both loved each other. The parents of the boy were not able to earn enough money to take care of their dog. They decided to give him away. So, they decided to leave him at the shelter.
They were driving to shelter. Suddenly, the dog jumped out of their car. He was lost in minutes. They searched him but he was no where to be found. They went home. The boy was very sad and upset. He remembered his dog everyday.
One day, the boy was helping his parents to harvest their fields. He was singing and remembering his dog.The dog lived near the fields. When the dog heard the song, he ran closer to see who was singing.
He was so happy to see his friend. He ran to meet his friend.
This picture shows how they are getting United!
How did i do this painting!
This style was inspired by Ricco, my art teacher. I did this painting on 16X20 canvas. I used many layers of colors to get the effect. The base color is yellow to show fields and blue to show clear blue sky. I did 5-6 layers of painting to show the depth of the field and sky. I used shadows to show my characters.
What will i do if this painting sells:
I create my paintings to help kids at children's hospital. All the proceeds will be donated to Seattle Children's Hospital. You can either purchase or share this post with your friends.

"Once we got signed, we had a lot more responsibilities," says Robert Turner, singer-bassist-guitarist for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, whose debut album has just been released on Virgin. "We had to do a lot of setup for the release, and it burns you out a bit."
Apparently so. The young, raven-haired band, which also consists of singer-guitarist-bassist Peter Hayes and drummer Nick Jago, proves to be a painfully introverted trio, and is already gaining a reputation among journalists as a teeth-pulling interview.
It's too bad, because some serious press requests are coming in to Virgin, thanks to that all-too-rare thing: an actually earned fan and industry buzz. Since relocating to Los Angeles from their native San Francisco, BRMC have worked hard to establish a regular presence at such venerable local clubs as the Troubadour, the Silverlake Lounge and Spaceland, as well as played a happening Sundance schmooze fest with the likes of Semisonic.
Of course, nabbing that sought-after record deal is no small feat these days, as the last decade has seen the majors shift from the grab-the-goods gold rush of indie rock's heyday to an almost complete rejection of anything but shiny pop and numskull rock. Eight or nine years ago, labels would have jumped all over themselves to grab BRMC before a competitor did. Now, few independent-minded rock acts get any opportunity to break through at this level. As BRMC themselves sing, "What ever happened to my rock & roll?"
Well, kids, it's right here, on their eponymously titled new disc. And it's indeed hypnotic, but Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has a definite best-of-last-century vibe: It's a buzzy nu-psychedelic rock, not unlike Portland's Dandy Warhols, with whom the band recently toured, or earlier records by Verve (pre-"The"). BRMC straddles the wall between hip-swaying and shoe-gazing, washing everything in a Jesus and Mary Chain--ish sea of sound. Asked where this fits into the current climate of rap-rock and radio consolidation, Hayes answers plainly, "We don't," but adds a bit optimistically, "Hopefully, a space will be made for us. There's a lot of room."
Plenty of well-known people agree. Almost all of the band's recent press quickly mentions accolades from lofty admirers: Oasis' Noel Gallagher, the Jesus and Mary Chain's Jim Reid, Johnny Marr of the Smiths. For some reason, even with only a handful of interviews under their belt, the group's already grown weary of the oft-cited praise. At the mention of Gallagher's name, Turner exclaims sarcastically, "We grew up with him in a house!" "Wasn't he your adopted half brother?" Hayes mockingly asks Jago.
Another famous musician who's rallied behind the group is Michael Been, ex-leader of acclaimed '80s spiritual new-wavers The Call (best known for the hit "The Walls Came Down" and the Gore campaign theme "Let the Day Begin"). That's because Been is Turner's dad. Apparently concerned about Wallflowers-like comparisons, though, Turner purposely downplays his father's body of work by claiming his dad is a "studio musician" who hasn't worked on anything well-known.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have been together for about three years. Hayes and Turner attended the same high school in the East Bay; the British-born Jago joined up later. None had previously been in a band. The trio became established around town as the Elements, but soon found themselves needing a new moniker ("It was about six other bands' name," explains Turner), and cribbed one from Brando's gang in the '50s biker flick The Wild One. (The cinematic bikers actually used the plural "Rebels," which the band realized only later.) At one point they planned on improving it: "We went back to see the movie," says Turner, "because we wanted to use the other motorcycle gang's name, because they were meaner. But the other gang is called the Beetles."
San Francisco's one of the few places that can make L.A. seem affordable by comparison (and according to the band, we're relatively enthusiastic clubgoers, too), so after spending some time shuttling between the two regions, BRMC settled here two years ago. "We ran out of dough up north," says Hayes. "We were just about on the verge of eviction. We wanted to find a record company, something to get the music out. This looked like the best place to do it."
The three started out in L.A. by sharing one apartment, sitcom-style. But unlike most of the bands that come here seeking out a record deal, BRMC soon found themselves sought after by several labels, with Virgin the eventual victors.
So along with the major-label deal comes all the star-making machinery, for better or worse. "That's the weight that gets put on your shoulders," concedes Turner. "It's a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't be making the record, or have anyone asking us to be anywhere or do anything. There's two sides.

Set to retire from the Times, Christopher Martin-Jenkins talks about past times, present gripes and future plans
Stephen Fay
April 6, 2008
Christopher Martin-Jenkins' father was chairman and managing director of the Ellerman Line, a shipping line that was the largest private company in Britain after World War II. Dennis Martin-Jenkins seems to have liked the idea of a dynasty because he proposed that his three sons should join him in the business. Two did. Christopher had other ideas.
As a boy, he was already utterly absorbed by cricket. He wrote his first book aged eight, about imaginary heroes of the game of toppers, which he played by himself, hitting a hard ball against a pillar in the garden. He was given his first Wisden at 13 and before he left Marlborough, his public school, he had already received advice from Brian Johnston about becoming a cricket commentator. It is a life dedicated to cricket.
When he joined the Times in 1999, his editor suggested he might like to write for different parts of the paper, but he didn't push the idea. "If you're going to be a conscientious cricket correspondent, there's not much time to take your eye off the ball," he says. At the age of 63 that is precisely what he now proposes to do.
CMJ - as he is universally known - is about to retire as chief cricket correspondent of the Times. From this summer onwards he will continue to work on Test Match Special for as long as they will have him, and to write as a freelance, for his old paper, The Wisden Cricketer and others. The voice will not be extinguished, but the volume will be lower. "I don't want to go from the frying pan into the fire and just write all the time, which is always the temptation of a freelance, isn't it?" He might even be able to get in some cricket.
His dedication has been amply rewarded. He plunged in at the deep end, virtually editing The Cricketer within a month of joining the staff. He moved seamlessly through the most elevated reaches of quality journalism - starting as a 28-year-old at the BBC (1973-1991, with a break in the early eighties), then moving to the Daily Telegraph (1991-99) and the Times. He was present at the birth of World Series Cricket: "I'm sure I coined the phrase 'pyjama cricket.'" He disapproved of Kerry Packer - "good for the players but not for the audience".
His memory is crowded with the pleasure given by fine cricketers, principally Bishan Bedi and Brian Lara. Once he starts to list players he has admired, it grows like Topsy: Ricky Ponting for his recovery from defeat; Warne, though he didn't like the way he worked the umpires; Darren Gough, Dennis Amiss, Derek Randall, Sachin Tendulkar, and Adam Gilchrist. "He and Jack Hobbs are the only cricketers I've never heard a bad word about."
He wrote books - mainly for the money. They were written in a hurry, but nearly everything he writes is. He has liked writing for a daily paper because, compared to radio commentary, his views have survived overnight. He resists the idea that he pontificates: "Surely not, but I enjoy making judgments."
His voice is confident, the manner is a little clipped, and his sense of humour is more pronounced than his readers might imagine. In the press box he is known as 'the Major'. He has been for some time; it's time he was promoted. He is slim as a rake, has a full head of hair, and lives comfortably outside Horsham in Sussex, where his son Robin is an allrounder in the county XI. Christopher thinks Robin tends to bowl better when he is watching, and suspects that when Chris Adams [the Sussex captain] sees CMJ in his deck-chair at the Cromwell Road End he gives Robin a few extra overs. A second son plays good club cricket. The family is said to be fiercely competitive on the tennis court, though this is a quality he seeks to mask.
He wrote books - mainly for the money. They were written in a hurry, but nearly everything he writes is. He has liked writing for a daily paper because, compared to radio commentary, his views have survived overnight. He resists the idea that he pontificates: "Surely not, but I enjoy making judgements." | |||
CMJ's entry in Who's Who suggests a prominent position in the establishment. It gives the titles of 23 books and lists no fewer than 12 clubs he belongs to, starting with MCC, I Zingari and the Arabs - the crème de la crème of post-public school cricket. It is easy to assume that this is the voice of the old cricket establishment, sitting comfortably in the pavilion at Lord's. Jim Swanton was the authentic voice of that establishment. The alternative was offered by John Arlott, who became the honorary chairman of the players' union. CMJ has often seemed to be a quintessential Swantonian, but it turns out he regards himself as more complicated than that. He resists such superficial journalistic distinctions.
He accepts that Swanton was an influential figure when he was young, but that was because his parents took the Telegraph. CMJ also accepts that Swanton opposed the appointment of Len Hutton as England captain because he was a professional. But he insists that Swanton was liberal on race, in South Africa and the West Indies. "He was a bit of a mixture, Jim." The position CMJ finally adopts comes as a surprise: "I'd consider myself somewhere in-between, probably a bit more Arlott than Swanton."
He declares that it is "not fair" to place him in the establishment camp: "I think I've been critical of the establishment quite often. It's the commercialism of the establishment that worries me." But this is a new establishment, obsessed by maximising TV income: "Another great heist is about to happen. India's discovery of Twenty20 is going to unbalance the whole thing."
"Do you have dark moments of despair?"
"Not despair, but mild depression. At any stage in history somebody is going to say the game is going to the dogs, but what I dread, and what would be a disaster, would be if two-innings cricket were deemed old hat and boring. The profundity and variety of cricket are what make it different from all other games."
He regrets that journalists now have less access to players: "They're far better paid, and protected, rightly or wrongly, by their employers. Their time is limited and they're made to think they're something special, which up to a point they are, but I think they're less self-sufficient, more molly-coddled and regimented."
One cricketer CMJ enjoyed talking to was his replacement at the Times, Mike Atherton. Not in his grumpy press conferences, but in one-to-one conversations: "I knew he had very interesting views about cricket, and that he was interested in other people's views." Apparently Atherton would occasionally give him a meaningful look and ask: "When are you giving up, Major?" End of April is the answer.
Incidentally, Ellerman Lines was taken over in 1983 by the Barclay Brothers, who sold the shipping business. Had Christopher done as his father had wished, he would have been redundant, with plenty of time on his hands to watch cricket. It wouldn't have been enough.

"Most of us consume plenty of chemicals in our foods on a daily basis"
Most of us? How about all of us consume chemicals in our food on a daily basis always. In fact, it's impossible to consume food which lacks chemicals since all matter is made up of chemicals. Chemical-free food is a physical impossibility.
People need to keep this in mind when they use the word "chemical". Water is a chemical, after all.

HOSPITAL trusts in the region are having to save more than £100m this year, new figures have revealed.
HOSPITAL trusts in the region are having to save more than £100m this year, new figures have revealed.
Information obtained by the Health Service Journal has shown that in the North East and Cumbria NHS hospital trusts are being asked to save a staggering £104.6m through their cost improvement plans.
The average saving accounts for 5.05% of annual NHS turnover in the region, though not all trusts responded to the information requests.
South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust is making one of the highest percentage savings for the financial year of 2012-13, with a saving of 5%, which equates to £10.5m. This is closely followed by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation with a percentage saving of 4.9% (£21.9m) and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust at 4.6% (£8.5m).
Leading health unions have criticised the coalition Government for financial cuts "being forced" upon hospital trusts.
Estephanie Dunn, Royal College of Nursing Northern region's operational manager, said: "These level of cuts to NHS budgets are unprecedented in recent times, and are being forced on our trusts by central Government.
"But while all hospital trusts across the country are being forced to make savings, it's clear that the burden of cuts is not falling equitably.
"It's simply not credible to claim that trusts can make this level of savings without there being a knock-on effect on waiting lists, staffing levels, and ultimately quality of care."
The data shows that in England the total cost savings for this year alone is £2.25bn. Some trusts nationwide are having to deliver cost improvement plans of around 3.3% of their turnover for this year, others are having to make up to 9.1%.
In the region, Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has the lowest percentage saving of 4% (£35m) of its year's turnover and City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust also has a target of delivering a 4% saving (£11.8m).
Health bosses have admitted that the cost savings they face are challenging, but insist it will not be detrimental to patient care.
Mike Robson, South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust's executive director of finance, said: "The 5% target we face this year is a difficult one.
"We are already well under way with a programme looking at new, efficient ways of working, aimed at making sure that we can continue to provide safe, high-quality services for our patients, whilst delivering the financial efficiencies needed."
Tom Hunt, acting director of finance for County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, said the trust was "in a strong financial position and ended the last financial year with an operating surplus".
He added: "Our priorities are patient safety and quality care, we have plans to work more efficiently and more innovatively, while continuing to drive up standards."
The Department of Health was last night unavailable for comment.

Three Cheers and a Tiger ~ Bronze
Pumpernickel Blue |
Photo Credit: Brianna Mewborn
"Isn't that a distinctive blue?" asked the owner of the yarn shop.
"Very," I said, admiring the wool.
"The dye came from the exoskeletons of beetles that destroyed the Westphalian rye crop three years ago. There was no pumpernickel bread the next year," she sighed, "so out of respect I named it Pumpernickel Blue. Very short dye lot."
"I've seen this yarn before," I said.
"Highly unlikely. I had only enough dye for seven skeins!"
"Maybe so, but I have seen it before," I said, and ran the yarn through my fingers, envisioning a sweater for what, my mother's dachshund? "How much?"
"Two-fifty a skein, and only two left. That's two-hundred-and-fifty dollars," she added, cutting short the beeline to my wallet. "It's costly because of the dye."
"Then that certainly was an expensively dressed tree I saw."
"What do you mean?"
"Last autumn I participated in a yarnbombing. One in daylight, not one of those clandestine guerrilla knitter hit groups, though some masked knitters did attend. Anyway, we decorated such a pretty little grove of trees. I wrapped a fair isle design in grays and greens around a young ash."
I was invited to sit and have some iced tea.
"You were saying you saw my Pumpernickel Blue there," she prompted me.
"Oh, yes. In the center of the grove, a slender aspen was enrobed in a trunk length wrapping, in this very Pumpernickel Blue," I said. "There is no question in my mind that the two yarns are identical."
"It's not only the color, it's the exoskeletal bits in the fibers that make it so unique."
"Don't see them everyday," I agreed.
"Especially not ones that glow under infrared light."
We both laughed. She had to be kidding.
"I didn't really look at the yarn until the artist left, but I think her mask might have had some of the same blue," I said.
"Are the trees still wrapped?"
"Maybe, if the puffins haven't carried the yarn away for their nests."
"What town is it in?" she asked, ready to go.
"The bombing was in Reykjavik. Where the puffins are?"
"Oh." She sounded disappointed. "There's no way I can account for any of this wool being in Iceland. I sold two skeins to a woman who made a gorgeous vest, and I gave three to my daughter. That was a waste."
"Hasn't she made anything yet?"
"She finished a beautiful sweater. She blocked it and put it in her garden to dry. For the scent of the flowers you know."
I nodded, sucked into knitter nattering.
"Going out to check, she found someone trying to steal it! Can you imagine?
"What did she do?"
"Lizzie tried to stop the woman. They each had hold of the sweater and were pulling it all out of shape. When the thief brandished a pair of scissors and began to hack at the sweater, Lizzie instinctively let go; she didn't want to get cut."
"Oh, my." This was rough stuff for a knitter.
"She fell backwards and hit her head on a rock. Knocked unconscious! The thief escaped."
"Is your daughter all right now?
"Yes, she is, thank you for asking." She leaned in a little closer. "She and I are doing a covert yarnbombing tonight. Would you like to join us?" She asked this shyly; after all, though we'd spilled our guts, we were still strangers.
"I've never done a covert before."
"We could use someone to help stitch the pieces together on the trees. Come. It will be fun."
"What time?"
"We'll rendezvous here at twenty-two hundred. Are you in?"
My new friend seemed sincere, and her kindly attitude belied the sinister terminology, so, though I had to be up at 5 a.m. the next morning to get back to Boston, I agreed to go.
"Wonderful! I'm Ethelina Zarkowski, by the way. Call me Lina," she said.
"Very happy to meet you, Lina. Mary Warner."
I bought five skeins of a lesser-priced yarn and was about to leave when some new patterns caught my eye. I browsed, and Lina took care of a customer who had come in with two little boys. From the next aisle, I could hear the boys whispering and laughing. One bet the other he couldn't say 'that word.'
"Can too."
"Can not. Prove it."
The dared sibling said quite clearly, and correctly: "Eyjafjallajokull!" followed by a juicy raspberry noise.
"Joey! Don't make bad noises," said their mother, without turning from her conversation with Lina.
I brought a pattern to the counter and was introduced to Judy, who would be yarnbombing with us.
"Excuse me, Judy, but how did your son learn to say that?"
"Eyjafjallajokull?" She smiled. "The au pair taught us last year, and we want to surprise her when she returns this afternoon for the summer. You're familiar with the name?"
"I was taking a knitting class in Reykjavik when the volcano erupted. At the time I kept wishing it had been Mt. Hekla."
I left the shop, wondering what to wear to my first covert yarnbombing. There were six of us: three teams of two, all darkly dressed. Lina, my partner, handed me scissors, ten large-eyed needles threaded with different colored yarns, and a pair of infrared night vision goggles.
"Very necessary piece of equipment," Lina whispered, and, at her signal, we all switched on.
Each team had a large bag filled with pieces of knitting and crocheted granny squares. Our objective was to yarnbomb the three oaks in the town square. Lina held pieces up to the trunk of our tree and I laced them to each other as snuggly as possible. We went up as high as the lowest branches, and covered them also.
I was astraddle a low branch, sewing the last pieces together, when I heard the sound of a car coming and ducked. We'd had to do that several times, always remembering to flick our goggles off till the car drove by. This time it was a van that slowed and parked not ten feet from me.
I watched as four women in form-fitting black clothes jumped out of the van leaving the driver, balaclavaed in red, in the van with the engine running. The four on the ground, also wearing balaclavas, adjusted their night vision infrared stealth goggles over their eyes and went to work yarnbombing a maple in the middle of the square. In ten minutes they had finished, jumped back into the van, and sped away. One of them dropped her balaclava. I climbed down and snatched it.
We regrouped at the maple to critique their work, unfavorably if possible, when Lina's sharp intake of breath startled me.
"Put on your goggles and see what they've done!" she said, pointing to the knitted snowflake design low on the trunk.
I personally never yarnbomb that low because of dogs, but this group was different, very different. I looked at the design through my goggles; some very tiny bits glowed when the infrared light hit them. Carefully working out a strand of yarn from the snowflake, I gave it to Lina.
The exhibits were on the table: a balaclava knit in an Icelandic pattern, the points done in Pumpernickel Blue wool, and a ten-inch strand of the same. Lina and Lizzie were distraught; both pieces evidenced the carnage of Lizzie's beautiful sweater.
If I ever expected to get any rest before my drive to Boston and a full day's work tomorrow, I'd have to leave this happy group now. I tried uselessly to interject my adieus into the conversation.
"Did they know we were going to bomb tonight, or was it just coincidence that they showed up?" asked Lizzie, and added, "I hate them."
"Who were they?" asked Esther, Lizzie's partner.
"The only other group who yarnbombs on the Cape claims to use only old salvaged knits," said Lina.
"One of them pointed at me, and I know I was hidden," said Judy.
"If you saw them, your face was showing," said her partner, Louise. "How many of us mentioned where we'd be, or what we'd be doing tonight?"
"My husband and I talked about it while we were doing the dishes," said Judy. "The kids and Sigrid came in then, but none of them care about this."
My hand was almost on the doorknob, but I went back to the table. "Lizzie?" I asked. "Didn't you see the face of the woman who stole your sweater?"
"I must have, but I hit my head when I fell and can't remember more than a blur for the face."
"Do you think she might have been wearing a mask, or a stocking pulled over her face?"
"I remember everything else; maybe she did have a mask."
"Judy, dear," I said kindly. "You need to match some of Sigrid's hair with any you might find in this balaclava. If there is a match, you really should get a new au pair. Pulling apart a newly-made sweater for the yarn is not recycling. It's a crime."
I went to the door and opened it. "Goodnight, ladies. It was fun, but now my pillow is calling."

BMW motorsport boss Mario Theissen says there is more potential to extract from the team's latest upgrade package introduced in Singapore.
The team ran several new parts during the Marina Bay race, including a new front wing, modified sidepods, a more developed double diffuser and a modified rear wing. But with so many changes, Theissen feels the team did not have enough time to make them work properly and he expects more progress at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend.
"The upgrade is working. I hope it will be even strong on a fast track like Suzuka next weekend," Theissen said. "I think we have not fully exploited the potential yet. We had limited time.
"Compared to the qualifying performance, the race performance was not equally good, so I think there is something to gain. Now it's up to us to sort this out for Suzuka and try to be stronger there."
BMW scored just one point in Singapore after Robert Kubica finished in eighth position in what Theissen agreed was a very hard race.
"It was damn hard work for just one point," he said. "Robert I think he achieved the optimum result. Apparently the car was stronger in qualifying and in the race. He made no mistakes.
"It was really hard for him to keep Nakajima and Raikkonen behind him.He did a great job to defend his position there, so at least one point."
The team boss reckons Kubica could have finished higher up if the safety car had not hindered him.
"Again, unlucky for him. Last year the safety car came out right before his pit stop. This time it came out right after his pit stop. The others benefited from it and he lost about two positions."

One hundred-fifty years ago today, Clark County native Capt. Robert Hickman lost his life due to injuries suffered at the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., during the Civil War.
His sacrifice for the Union Army was commemorated Thursday at the Hickman Cemetery in the Athens Boonesboro area of Clark County, with a ceremony led by Civil War re-enactor Steve Menefee.
"The main thing we are here to commemorate is how the war was brother against brother, cousin against cousin, but now we're one country,"¿Menefee said.
Hickman's cousin, Gen. Roger Hanson of the 1st Kentucky Brigade, also was mortally wounded at the battle fighting for the Confederacy.
"They were killed at the same battle, probably 75 yards apart," Menefee said.
Hanson is buried in the Lexington Cemetery.
Both the Hickman and the Hanson families suffered great losses due to the war. Five Hanson brothers served, three for the Union and two for the Confederacy. Both Hansons serving in the Confederacy were killed. Richard Hickman, brother Joel Hickman, was accidentally killed by one of his fellow soldiers early in the war.
The Battle of Murfreesboro also is known as the Battle of Stone's River. Menefee said the Union and the Confederacy used different naming conventions, with the Union typically referring to battles by the name of the closest body of water and the Confederacy using the name of the closest town.
"This family lost a son on each side,"¿Menefee said of the Hickmans. "One for the Confederacy and one for the Union."

Swiss parliament welcomes Hamas spokesman (JERUSALEM POST) By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT 02/23/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=259005
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
BERLIN The National Palace (Bundeshaus), which houses the Swiss parliament, hosted Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri, prompting stinging criticism on Wednesday from Israels interim ambassador in Bern.
Speaking from Bern with The Jerusalem Post via telephone, Ambassador ad interim (chargé daffaires) Shalom Cohen said, We were not happy with this development.
We shared our view with the local authorities. It was a big mistake to invite a member of Hamas, which calls for destruction of Israel.
He added that Hamas is a terrorist organization and is recognized as such by the Middle East Quartet and the international community.
It is counterproductive and gave them [Hamas] legitimacy to continue their terrorist activities, to continue to work on their basic ideology: the destruction of Israel, Cohen said.
Masris visit took place late last month but was first reported in the German-language Swiss press this week, according to Cohen.
The Geneva-based Inter- Parliamentary Union invited Masri to the Swiss Parliament, where he presented a pro-Hamas deputy, Geri Müller of the Green Party, with a gift.
In response to a Post query about the Hamas visit, George Farago, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, wrote: Switzerland is obligated to allow an invited guest of the Inter-Parliamentary Union of human rights because the organization is located in Switzerland. For Switzerland only UN sanctions are binding.
Though the EU recognizes Hamas as a terrorist group, the Swiss government is not a member of the EU and largely ignores EU sanctions. Critics say the Swiss have overly relaxed policies toward Islamic terrorists and Irans government.
When asked if Bern views Hamas as a terrorist group, Farago wrote that Switzerland does not maintain a comparable EU terror list in which groups are designated as terrorists.
Questioned if his government finds the Hamas Charter to be anti- Semitic, Farago wrote: Switzerland condemns all statements that question Israels right to exist or call for violence. He added that it does not agree with many of the formulations and demands in the charter, but that if one is interested in a solution, one must speak with all involved parties. That includes Hamas.
The charter calls for the elimination of the State of Israel and is an anti-Semitic document.
Asked why the Swiss authorities allowed a designated terrorist to travel to Europe, Farago stressed that in a democratic system it is naturally understood that a separation of powers allows a member of parliament to act independently.
The Swiss Jewish community has criticized Müller over the years for his extreme anti-Israel views and attendance at rallies where Israel is compared to Nazi Germany.
Müller has refused to condemn Hamas rocket attacks on Israel.
In an email to the Post on Wednesday, Dr. Herbert Winter, head of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities, wrote that community members are not surprised about Müllers activities. From Geri Müller it is nothing other than to be expected.
However, Winter said the Hamas spokesmans visit was unexpected: To invite Masri in the Bundeshaus is still out of place.
Cohen said it is very problematic for us that the Swiss are meeting with Hamas here and in the Middle East. This is not the way to do this.
He said that before nations talk to Hamas, the radical Islamic group has to first meet international demands, which include stopping all terrorist activities and recognizing Israels right to exist.
The international community also demands that Hamas adhere to all previous PLO-Israel agreements. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 02/23/12)

Confederate States of America
The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and CSA) formed as the government set up from 1861 to 1865 by eleven southern states of the United States of America that had declared their secession from the U.S. The CSA's de facto control over its claimed territory varied during the course of the American Civil War, depending on the success of its military in battle.
Asserting a right of state secession, seven states declared their independence from the United States before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln as President on March 4, 1861; four more did so after the Civil War began at the Battle of Fort Sumter (April 1861). The United States of America ("The Union") held secession illegal and refused recognition of the Confederacy. Although British and French commercial interests sold the Confederacy warships and materials, no European nation officially recognized the CSA as an independent country.
The CSA effectively collapsed when Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston surrendered their armies in April 1865. Union troops captured the Confederate President Jefferson Davis near Irwinville, Georgia on May 10, 1865. Nearly all remaining Confederate forces surrendered by the end of June. A decade-long process known as Reconstruction temporarily gave civil rights and the right to vote to the freedmen, expelled ex-Confederate leaders from office, and re-admitted the states to representation in Congress.

I went to a basketball game the other day and a lady was there that was trying to keep two little girls entertained. She was making them the cutest paper roses. They loved them and so did I.
I asked her about them and she taught me how to make them. I will tell you in a minute but first I wanted to share with you her story.
She was 15 and was at a wedding or a dance, I can't remember. Anyway, a cute boy was there. She wanted to get his attention but she knew she didn't have much to work with. She wasn't a cute little blond so she grabbed her napkin and turned it into something that looked like this.
She then sprayed it with her perfume and handed it to him. She said it worked. They started dating. I love that a 15 year old girl would think to take a napkin.
Gather up the one end of the napkin to make it look like a rose. Then just keep twisting to make the stem. When she got towards the middle of the stem she pulled up the corner of the napkin to make a leaf.
Now these pictures are my first attempt at trying to make this. Her's were so much better. But they were a lot of fun to make. She said that the really good paper napkins work best.
Now if you have a little girl that wants to dress up like a bride you know how to finish off the outfit.
Or maybe you might want to leave a flower for your waitress. Have fun with it!

text: From the beginning, plans were in place to incorporate the highly-coveted Roland 909. Well over a decade after Roland introduced the 909, its sound was being used more than ever. Modified versions of ReBirth had already emerged and were featured on the Propellerhead website, replacing the original 808 drums with a 909 sample set, and the second version of ReBirth would complete the Roland triology. In the weeks leading up to the version 2.0 update, Propellerhead Software slowly divulged information and images of the upcoming release, which tantalized (or tortured) anxious users. Version 2.0 also included a new system for managing ReBirth Mods. These mods were adapted as a plug-in format in which new graphics and drum sounds could be selected from an application menu. Not only did this provide the growing community of ReBirth Mod creators with a uniform process of customization, it simplified the act of incorporating samples and custom drums into ReBirth songs. ReWire technology was a feature of version 2.0 that provided even more production power to Cubase users. The vintage sound of ReBirth could easily be incorporated in larger productions with hardware synthesizers and recorded performances. Also, music composed exclusively using ReBirth could be enhanced using the signal processing and mixing capabilities of Cubase. Despite having to compete with Steinberg's new VST instrument protocol, ReWire was adopted by other companies who wanted to bridge their software with the phenomena that surrounded ReBirth.

Hi folks.
I have been using a dongle-based (Sansa e200) jailbreak, along with Hermes and Gaia/Multiman for a pretty long time (3.41 Fat PS3). I'm tired of jailbreaking the PS3 each time I power it on, so I have decided to install a CFW on my PS3.
1) CFW based solutions are pretty much established. The popular CFWs are Hermes 3.41 and Kmeaw 3.55. What are the risks and drawbacks of the CFW?
Is there still a chance of bricking my PS3? What about game support and stability (freezes-wise)?
2) I don't care about PSN and online play at all. I am only looking for good game support and performance, without freezes, crashes and loading problems. If so, will it be best for me to stick with 3.41 Hermes CFW?
3) What is Syscall36 and lv2 patcher? *
4) What is a signed PKG? If I install it for a game, for example NFS:HP, what will it do? *
I searched the forums for those questions but I didn't find simple answers. Everyone is already so familiar with the terms, but I'm not...
5) With the Multiman supporting NTFS, can I use my external NTFS hard drive ONLY FOR copying games from it to the internal PS3 drive?
6) Is it possible to replace my 80GB internal HDD that came with my PS3 to a 320GB Western Digital, retail-bough hard drive?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Without your help I'm pretty much lost.

The Research Station is located at the Head quarter of S.D. Agril. University, Sardarkrushinagar and dealing with the research activities of two important oil seeds crops, castor and mustard, of North Gujarat.
The research in these crops are being carried out in Gujarat since early 70S with commendable achievements. The research work on these crops was started at Sardarkrushinagar since 1978 consequent upon the transfer of Castor Research Project from then G.A.U., Vijapur and Mustard Project from G.A.U., Manud. The activities were further intensified and strengthened with the formation of separate Research Unit clubbing the research projects of these two crops at Sardarkrushinagar.
Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is an important non-edible oilseed crop of the arid and semi arid regions of the world, wherein India has the maximum area and production under this crop. Other important castor producing countries are China, Brazil, Russia (earlier USSR) and Thailand. In India, the crop is grown in an area of above 10.77 lakh hectares with a total production of above 8.67 lakh tonnes(200-2001). At current level, the country exported castor seeds, oil and castor based products of worth Rs.1102.15 crores during 1999-2000. Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Rajasthan are major castor producing states in India. Gujarat is the leading castor growing state of the country where the crop is grown in 3.05 lakh hectares of area with 4.65 lakh tonnes of total production and productivity of 1527 kg/ha (2001-2002). Thus, Gujarat shares about 49% of the area and more than 80% of the total castor production of the country. This state is pioneer in the development and release of hybrids where in the first ever castor hybrid, GCH 3 was released for general cultivation in 1968-69. There after 4 more hybrids, viz; GAUCH 1, GCH 2, GCH 4, GCH 5 and GCH-6 have been developed and released for general cultivation in the state. Recently, a nematode-wilt complex higher yielding hybrid ,GCH 7, was released. Besides improved production technologies and plant protection measures for the control of pests and diseases have also been developed and recommended which have helped in increasing the productivity of the crop from 352 kg/ha (1966-70) to 1972 kg/ha (1997-98) in the state.
Wilt complex in irrigated condition and root-rot under rainfed condition among biotic stresses ; salinity and drought among abiotic stresses are major .production constraints. Being industrial crop, value addition in term of quality improvement needs special attention.
Mustard is one of the most important rabi oilseed crops in Gujarat wherein North Gujarat is ideally suited for its cultivation. Presently, it is grown in about 1.87 lakh ha. area with 2.31 lakh tonnes of total production and 1235 kg/ha. productivity , which is the highest in the country (2000-01). Mehsana, Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Ahmedabad, Kheda and Gandhinagar are major mustard growing districts of Gujarat.
The area and production under the crop has increased substantially in Gujarat during the last two decades. The area which was only 0.85 lakh ha. during 1973-74 has gone upto 3.68 lakh ha. during 1995-96, while the total production has increased from 0.42 lakh tones to 4.23 lakh tonnes during the same period. During last three-four years, the area under mustard decreased due to less rainfall and non remunerative price of the crop. Though, the yield level is maintained. The success of mustard cultivation in our state can be attributed to the development and release of improved varieties viz., PM 67, Varuna, G M 1, GM 2 and GM 3, improved production technology, effective plant protection measures to control the pest and diseases and their high rate of adoption by the farmers.
There is still very good scope to increase the area in kyari land, water logged area during kharif, Kutch and Saurashtra regions and in view of high productivity, the crop has excellent future in the state.

If your web site needs a makeover, need some creative ideas on how to grow, if you uncertain...
Current Articles | RSS Feed
You know those times that you have something to say, that's too big for twitter but not enough for a blog? You see something on TV or online, that you want to comment on but your thoughts just won't fit into 140 characters. And you can't bring yourself to creating a whole blog on a throwaway thought.
Or maybe you want to create your own web pages, or try blogging, but don't want the hassle of registration and setting up yet another social network that you'll have to monitor?
Now there's a solution to both these problems, with Checkthis. A site that allows you to create, edit and publish your own web pages in minutes, with no registration required. It's being talked about as Instagram for blogging but it's much more than that.
The similarities to Instagram are obvious, once you've created the basic page you can apply cool edit tools and publish straight away, just like Instagram does with photos. But this is not a social network. There's no timeline, no blogroll and no followers. The idea is that the pages stand alone, as one off blogs or polls or ads or whatever.
It's all about immediacy, you have an idea for a single page, you create it, publish it and share it wherever you like. There's no save button, no overall theme or guideline that you stick to. You don't even have to put your name on it if you don't want to. You can register through Facebook, Twitter or Google+ if you want, but you could just create a page, copy the URL and then disappear off the site forever.
The flexibility is huge too; you can share a video, advertise a job or run a poll. You can even sell something; with PayPal integration you can go from zero to online ad, with checkout, as quickly as you can type.
With so many other ways of publishing content online, it was hard to imagine any new players appearing on the market. But with the flexibility and immediacy it provides, Checkthis is definitely worth checking out.
Online content should not be created to sell directly to people, you should develop your content to educate and inform instead. Discover the rules of content with this free whitepaper and create that winning online material for your business. Download here.

From Black Voices:
A few months before Manning Marable's sudden death, the acclaimed scholar and activist shot a series of videos to promote his long-awaited biography of Malcolm X.
The videos were to be released as teasers, one by one, for what has become a controversial examination of Malcolm X's life. His death though, just days before the book was set for release, threw the final production of the videos into limbo, as his family came to grips with their grief.
"It has been really hard," said filmmaker Michael Tyner, Marable's stepson and the producer of the videos. "The fourth episode was about two-thirds done when he passed."

Moved into new house 2 mo. ago. Water pressure @ kitchen faucet good & strong - both hot & cold water. Has become decreasingly poor and fear it will disappear altogether soon. Have well. Water pressure at all other points in house is still strong. Supply lines to kitchen faucet appear to be in very good condition - they look newer, the type that is flexible fiber wrapped {shiny silver}... approx. 1/2" in diameter. No apparent leaks. Plumbing to kitchen sink is fixed to outside wall, and the weather here has been in the low 20's. Today I plan to take apart the faucet and see if my untrained brain can detect any problems with the mechanics of the faucet itself, but am hoping someone out there might have some suggestions for me. Appreciate any help I can get. Thanks much, Cyn

Photoshoot: A Day In The Life
I joined a project on WetCanvas.com called "A Day in the Life". On October 4th, 2008 we were to take our cameras, and rather than take great photos...instead shoot the activities of our day. At the end of the shoot, we were to pick the one photo we thought was the most representative of our day. As I do a lot of driving, the stock market had begun crashing, and it was obvious the world was changing...this was my shot. It is fun now to look at it, and compare the current gasoline prices. This was regular unleaded by the way.

My Husband and I are very pleased with the great customer service. We ordered a 48" round table top for our dining room. The delivery was in order with no damage. The best part of it, is that it is American Made. Thanks Ready to Cover
Posted by Barb
We lay this top on top of a 3' round table, and the table will seat 6 people.
Standard 108" round table cloths reach the ground.
Both sides look good.
Company made it quick and shipped it fast.
Posted by Yolanda
I had ordered the table top because I had not been able to find the right dimension and really didn't have the tool to cut my own from a piece of plywood purchased at Home Depot. I must say that I was extremely surprised at the quality and finish of the table top that I received from you. I am making a mosaic table top and I almost hate to cover it with the tiles.
thank you.
Posted by Ina
Just a note to thank you for the lovely tabletop, it was finished beautifully and packaged so that nothing in transit could damage it. I will recommend you to friends and always use you for my tabletops.
Happy and prosperous New Year..
Posted by Marco and Donna
It is really a delight dealing with a company such as yours. You were prompt to answer my question about delivery and the table top arrived exactly as you said. We are very happy with the table top. We looked around both in the Internet and in stores but either we did not find what we wanted or it was not suitable. We have large gatherings for dinner (12 to 20 relatives and friends) several times a year. My idea is to convert the table top in a large lazy Susan to place in the middle of a large dining table. I think it is going to work perfectly. Being a fan of good workmanship, I am now a fan of 'Ready To Cover'. I'll look around to see if I have a need for any other wooden product. I will certainly pass your web site around.
Thanks, you guys are great!
Posted by Uva
The table top is fine, exactly what I ordered. The shipping box was in such bad shape the FedEx driver asked if it was okay to open it and check to make sure it wasn't damaged. A quick glance, all the padding material and boards had moved to the bottom on the box. There was a few nicks on some of the edges and there is a double pronged hole in the top surface, so I finished the underside of the table. I liked the grain better anyways. And I don't want to waste an otherwise good table top. Please make sure to pack your table tops better, tape the inside padding to the top inside the box or something.

Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.
Blood that flows between different chambers of your heart must flow through a heart valve. Blood that flows out of your heart into large arteries must flow through a heart valve.
These valves open up enough so that blood can flow through. They then close, keeping blood from flowing backward.
There are four valves in your heart:
Valve replacement; Valve repair; Heart valve prosthesis; Mechanical valves, Prosthetic valves
Before your surgery you will receive general anesthesia. You will be asleep and unable to feel pain.
In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large surgical cut in your breastbone to reach the heart and aorta. Most people are connected to a heart-lung bypass machine or bypass pump. Your heart is stopped while you are connected to this machine. This machine does the work of your heart while your heart is stopped.
Minimally invasive valve surgery is done through much smaller cuts than open surgery, or through a catheter inserted through the skin. Several different techniques are used:
If your surgeon can repair your valve, you may have:
If your valve is too damaged, you will need a new valve. This is called valve replacement surgery. Your surgeon will remove your valve and put a new one in place. The main types of new valves are:
For more detailed information, see:
You may need surgery if your valve does not work properly.
You may need heart valve surgery for these reasons:
Some of the heart valve problems treated with surgery are:
The risks for any anesthesia include:
The risks for any surgery include:
The risks for cardiac surgery include:
It is very important to take steps to prevent valve infections. You may need to take antibiotics before dental work and other invasive procedures.
For more information, see:
The average hospital stay is 5 - 7 days. Complete recovery will take a few weeks to several months, depending on your health before surgery.
The success rate of heart valve surgery is high. The operation can relieve your symptoms and prolong your life.
Mechanical heart valves do not often fail. Artificial valves last an average of 8 - 20 years, depending on the type of valve. However, blood clots can develop on these valves. If a blood clot forms, you may have a stroke. Bleeding can occur, but this is rare.
There is always a risk of infection. Talk to your doctor before having any type of medical procedure.
The clicking of mechanical heart valves may be heard in the chest. This is normal.
