Watch How I Met Your Mother
Ted Mosby is the main character and a romantic sort with a razor sharp wit and a propensity for getting into awkward situations. Lily and Marshall are his college friends and, at one time, roommates. They provide a real backbone of warmth to the show with their goofy antics and deep love for one another. Robin is a new addition to the group of friends and is also a one-time romantic interest for Ted. Robin's Canadian heritage and very unfeminine demeanor are the basis of many humorous situations on the show. Last, but not least, is Barney, a slick womanizer who hides a gentle heart behind his smirk and rapid fire one liners.
Over the course of the show, the five friends get themselves involved in a wide array of hilarious situations. From Ted stealing a restaurant decoration to show his love for Robin to Barney's endless array of quips and his string of conquests to the amusing disaster of Lily and Marshall's wedding day, the group experiences many funny events. Yet, there is also a strong heart to the show as it deals with dramatic themes like break-ups, the death of parents and struggles with infertility.
The flash forwards as Ted talks to his kids are also amusing in their own right as the children, despite their short amount of screen time, even have well-developed personalities. Getting to see the futures of your favorite characters also provides a counterpoint to the comedy and drama of the show's present time line.
Overall, the balance of wicked humor with a strong emotional core in How I Met Your Mother creates a show that will make you laugh, make you cry and definitely give you a few good laughs.

How I Met Your Mother News
It turns out that the "Bedtime Stories" episode of "How I Met Your Mother" was not as bad as many fans feared it would be, but it was one more filler episode that did little to advance the season's main story arcs.
This week's episode was light on plot development, but it was heavy on the guest stars and musical song-and-dance numbers.
There was a time when fans of "How I Met Your Mother," if faced with the end of their beloved series, likely would have celebrated the idea of a new series from the same creators, a fresh show that shared the hit comedy's premise and spirit. That time, it seems, is past.
This week, "How I Met Your Mother" flashed back six months, to a time when Ted still wasn't over Robin and Barney hadn't yet decided that she was his future. A lot has changed since then, and a big part of those changes can be credited to a single encounter that Barney had with a very important person all those months ago.
It's been nine long years that we've been waiting to meet the elusive mother, but the creators of "How I Met Your Mother" are hoping that viewers�and CBS�will like the idea of embarking on another parent hunt in a new spin-off series.
In the present day of series chronology, Ted still hasn't met the mother of his children, but in "The Lighthouse" episode of "How I Met Your Mother," we got to see a very significant moment in Ted's relationship with his future wife thanks to a flash-forward moment.
This week, Ted, Barney and Robin�at Marshall's request�try to sneak into Lily's room to delete a text from her phone. What could possibly go wrong?
The weekend in Farhampton is supposed to be about Barney and Robin, but so far much of the gang's pre-wedding activity has revolved around Ted making amends for past slights, both real and imagined, to his friends. In "The Poker Game," Marshal and Lily finally take Ted to task for something they think he did�or failed to do�six years ago.
This season was supposed to be the season that we got to see Ted fall for his future wife, but we're nearly a fifth of the way through the season, and we've had barely a glimpse of the future mother of Ted's children. On the bright side, Ted and Barney found a way to get past the conflict that arose between them last week.
Ted Mosby has been waiting eight years to meet his future wife, and he's going to have to wait a bit longer. Lily, however, got to meet her at the beginning of season nine, and even though we still don't know the mother-to-be's name, she's already becoming part of the gang.
Barney Stinson will get to hang with his idol, the "real" karate kid William Zabka, on "How I Met Your Mother" next season, when Zabka shows up for an extended guest role during the series' final season.
It's been a long time coming-and we got just the barest tease at the end of last season-but on the season premiere of "How I Met Your Mother," we will, finally, meet the future mother of Ted Mosby's children. That doesn't mean that all the mystery will be gone after the first episode, however.
It is almost that time again, folks. One of our favorite shows is coming back for their 9th and final season. Having just introduced the mother in a very nasty cliffhanger, what lies ahead for the rest of season 9?
Everyone prepares for Barney and Robin's wedding, and Lily and Marshall's big move. Ted has a big piece of news of his own... and then some.

BY MARCY SHORTUSE - When word got out that the Friends of the Boca Grande Community Center were thinking about dropping their after-school program and the Munchkins program, the reaction from the community was one of instant anger. Parents and island residents let that be known to Friends Executive Director Marta Howell on Tuesday, March 6.
She told the crowd at an impromptu meeting that Friends was no longer going to fund the programs.
The News - Featured News
On Tuesday morning the Boca Beacon office started getting phone calls about traffic on the Causeway backing up. Wayyy up.
Why do they call us? To find out what's going on, of course. We were here, in the office.
We didn't know. When we got a hold of Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority Executive Director Jim Cooper, he said he had just found out about it as well. A board member had contacted him about it, and he made sure that the utility company who decided it was perfectly all right to shut down the road without mentioning it to GIBA.
It wasn't. And people weren't happy.
At all.
From about 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., traffic was backed up, both ways, as workers tried to manipulate power lines and huge pieces of conduit. To add to motorist distress, there was a large amount of boats waiting at the bridge, so bridge openings were up.
"This is part of the whole utility coordination issue," Cooper said. "Unfortunately, it wasn't coordinated with me."
It was a fluke, and not to be expected again in the near future.
GIBA will be doing a second survey at all three toll booths, beginning March 15 for one week.
Feel free to fill it out again, and try to win that 30-day toll pass.
The Johann Fust Community Library and the Boca Grande Woman's Club are combining their book sales on Saturday, March 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the day of the annual Woman's Club Fair.
Donations of books, CDs and DVDs will be accepted at the Fust Library prior to the sale.
The Woman's Club Room will be available for drop-offs on Wednesday, March 14 from 3 to 5 p.m., Thursday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Friday, March 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you have questions or want to volunteer, contact Betsey Hall 964-2959 or Joanne Hall at 964-0773.
The Fust will also host a Sissy Yates Designs jewelry party on Thursday, March 22 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Half of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to the library.
Dr. Carl Wise related the weird, wacky and sometimes tragic history of the Spanish Empire in Florida during the 16th Century at the latest History Byte. The special edition was held at the Community Center Auditorium, and was well attended.
It is hoped that a film and forum series devoted to some knotty issues will capture the interest of Gasparilla Island over the next week. Four experts on Islam and the Arab Spring have been invited to speak by the Boca Grande Community Center and the Johann Fust Library: two university professors, a writer whose prize-winning book has been turned into an acclaimed film, and a beloved Deerfield Academy headmaster who created a modern, co-educational school in the traditional society of Jordan.

First National offering special gas lease CDs
Attempting to extract its own deposits from the Marcellus Shale gas region, First National Bank of Pennsylvania is offering special premium rates on CDs to people leasing land to gas drillers.
Called Gas Lease certificates, customers must open the CDs with a check issued by a gas drilling company or present a gas lease agreement. They also must agree to meet with a private banking or wealth management representative to discuss investment options with the Hermitage-based bank.
Although the yields are higher than average, don't expect them to light a fire in the furnace.
FNB's 90-day gas lease certificate currently pays 0.4 percent and requires a $100,000 minimum deposit. The 12-month version pays 0.55 percent with a $10,000 minimum.
That compares with FNB's regular six-month CD that pays 0.1 percent and 12-month certificate that pays 0.2 percent. Both require a $500 minimum deposit.
Since the introduction of the special CDs in February 2011, the bank has had "modest success" with the program, said spokeswoman Kathy Hammons. It allows customers to earn a higher rate while deciding how to invest their money for the long term, she said.
FNB's offer isn't unique, but it is the only gas lease promotion among the top 10 banks in the Pittsburgh region. Ms. Hammons said she didn't know specifically how many other banks were offering CDs tied to gas leasing.

Influenza (say: in-floo-EN-zah) is also called the flu. It's an infection that causes a fever, chills, cough, body aches, headaches, and sometimes earaches or sinus problems.
The flu is caused by the influenza virus (say: VY-rus). A virus is a microorganism (say: my-kroh-OR-guh-niz-uhm), which means it's so small that you can't see it without a strong microscope.
The flu vaccine is available as a shot (injected through the skin) or as a spray mist (into the nostrils). Most kids older than 2 can get the spray mist.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the flu vaccine for all people age 6 months and older. If you're a kid, that means you!
Kids older than 9 need only one dose.
If you are younger than 9, you will need one or two flu shots. It depends on whether you had the flu shot before and when you received those vaccinations. If you are younger than 9, you will need only one shot if you have had two doses of flu vaccine since July 2010. (Your parents and doctor can look this up and figure out if you did or not.)
If you are younger than 9, you will get two flu shots if:
If you need two shots, you'll get one shot and then come back at least a month later to get the second one.
Certain people are at higher risk of complications from the flu, including:
So if you're a kid who has asthma, diabetes, or another health problem, it's especially important that you get the flu vaccine.
Flu vaccines are usually given in the fall, before flu season starts. Flu season — the months of the year when a lot of people have the flu and it's easy to catch it — usually starts in October and ends in May.
If you get the flu vaccine, by nose spray or shot, it will protect you from getting a bad case of the flu. You either won't get the flu at all or, if you do get it, you will have only mild symptoms and you should get better pretty quickly.
You might wonder why you have to get a flu shot every year. Here's why: There are lots of different flu viruses. Each year, researchers choose the three viruses most likely to cause trouble. The flu vaccine includes protection against those three, which vary from year to year.
This virus gets around in little drops that spray out of an infected person's mouth and nose when he or she sneezes, coughs, or even laughs. You can catch the flu from someone who has it if you breathe in some of those tiny flu-infected drops.
You can also catch the flu if those drops get on your hands and you touch your mouth or nose. No wonder people are always saying to cough or sneeze into your elbow. And while you're at it, wash your hands!
If your doctor thinks you might have the flu, sometimes he or she will use a long cotton swab to get a sample of the gunk in your nose. Testing this sample in a lab can determine if you have the flu.
But usually this isn't necessary. Based on your symptoms and how you look during the visit, your doctor can usually tell if you have the flu, especially during times when a lot of flu is going around your town.
Once your doctor says you have the flu, start taking these steps to feel better:
Most of the time, you'll feel better in about a week. Until then, you'll have to stay home from school and take it easy.
We hope you're flu-free this year, but if you do get the flu, now you know what to do!

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
On a late summer afternoon in the early nineteenth century, a young farm couple with their baby arrives on foot at the village of Weydon-Priors. A fair is in progress. The couple, tired and dusty, enters a refreshment tent where the husband proceeds to get so drunk that he offers his wife and child for sale. A sailor, a stranger in the village, buys the wife, Susan, and the child, Elizabeth-Jane, for five guineas. The young woman tears off her wedding ring and throws it in her drunken husband's face; then, carrying her child, she follows the sailor out of the tent.
When he awakes sober the next morning, Michael Henchard, the young farmer, realizes what he has done. After taking an oath not to touch liquor for twenty years, he searches many months for his wife and child. In a western seaport, he is told that three persons answering his description emigrated a short time before. He gives up his search and wanders on until he comes to the town of Casterbridge. There, he decides to seek his fortune.
The sailor, Richard Newson, convinces Susan Henchard that she has no moral obligations to the husband who sold her and her child. He marries her and moves with his new family to Canada. Later, they return to England. Eventually, Susan learns that her marriage to Newson is illegal, but before she can remedy the situation Newson is lost at sea. Susan and her attractive eighteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, return to Weydon-Priors. There, they...

Chapters 1 - 2 Summary
As the novel opens, Michael Henchard and his wife, Susan, are walking toward a village in Wessex in southwestern England. Susan is carrying their infant daughter, Elizabeth-Jane. It is a late summer afternoon in the mid-1800s. Michael, a skilled farm laborer, is looking for work. Hardy describes the man and woman as being distant from each other and in low spirits. Hardy makes clear that Susan is naïve and malleable.
They enter a shop that sells furmity, a grain-based dish, and order their dinner. Michael quickly discerns that the proprietor, whom Hardy calls "the furmity woman," will spike his furmity with rum for an added payment. He gets drunk and tells those around him that he has ruined his chances for success by marrying too young and would sell his wife if he could. Michael refuses to drop this idea, and finally a sailor offers to meet the five-guinea price that Michael has set. To the shock of the crowd, the sale is made, and Susan and the baby leave with the sailor.
Michael sleeps off the rum in the furmity shop and wakes up to realize what he has done. Feeling remorse, he does two things: he goes to a church and makes a vow that he will not drink hard liquor for twenty-one years (one year for each year he has lived), and he determines to search for Susan and get her back. He searches for months but does not find Susan and the sailor.
(The entire section is 249 words.)
Chapters 3 - 4 Summary
About eighteen years have passed. Susan and the sailor, Newson, lived for about twelve years in Canada and then returned to England. Susan's daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, knows nothing about Michael Henchard or Susan's "sale" to Newson; she believes that her mother and Newson are married and that she is Newson's daughter.
Some time ago, Susan had confided in a friend about her past and that she was not legally married to Newson. The friend made Susan understand that she was not bound to Newson in any way; that is, that her "sale" was illegal and did not obligate her to Newson or make their arrangement legal. Susan was upset by this new perspective on her situation and told Newson that she didn't know if she could continue living with him. On his next trip to sea, Newson was reported lost and presumed dead.
Susan and Elizabeth-Jane then set out to find Michael Henchard. Susan hopes that Michael will be able and willing to provide some help for Elizabeth-Jane—financial help or some sort of start in life—as Newson has left her very little. They return to the village where Michael sold Susan and find the furmity woman. The furmity woman tells Susan that Michael returned about a year after the sale of his wife. He instructed the furmity woman that if a woman ever asked for him, she should give the information that Michael had gone to Casterbridge. The next morning, Susan and Elizabeth-Jane leave for Casterbridge.
(The entire section is 247 words.)
Chapters 5 - 8 Summary
As Susan and Elizabeth-Jane arrive in Casterbridge, a crowd is gathered in front of a hotel where a fancy dinner is being held. The windows have been opened so that the commoners on the street can hear what is being said at the dinner. Susan and Elizabeth-Jane learn that Michael Henchard is the mayor of the town and is seated at the head of the table. He is also said to be a widower. Elizabeth-Jane, who has been told that they are going to see a distant relative by marriage, is delighted to find that he is so successful. Susan is surprised that the drunken, impetuous young man she knew has become so successful, and she dreads meeting him.
During the dinner, Henchard, a grain merchant, is challenged by some in the crowd who accuse him of having sold wheat that had gone bad. Henchard responds that he did not know the wheat was bad and wishes there was some way to make bad wheat into good wheat, but as there is not, so nothing can be done.
A young Scotsman sends a note in to Henchard, who reads it and leaves the dinner to find the writer of the note. It happens that the young man, Donald Farfrae, is staying in the room next to Susan and Elizabeth-Jane's at the Three Mariners inn. Thus, the two women overhear Farfrae's conversation with Henchard when the mayor arrives. Farfrae's note has told Henchard that Farfrae knows a way to make the bad wheat usable, and Farfrae shares the method with Henchard. Henchard tries to persuade Farfrae to come to...

Chapters 9 - 12 Summary
The next morning, Susan sends Elizabeth-Jane to Henchard's house with a note asking him to meet her. When Elizabeth-Jane arrives, she is shocked to see Farfrae working in Henchard's office. Farfrae and Henchard had met again early that morning, and Farfrae agreed to work for Henchard after all.
While Elizabeth-Jane is waiting for Henchard, a man named Jopp appears. Henchard had promised this man the job he has now given to Farfrae, but he sends Jopp away without apology.
Michael reads Susan's note and asks Elizabeth-Jane some questions. He then writes a response to Susan, setting a meeting, and encloses five guineas—the exact amount for which he sold her. The implication is that he is agreeing to take her back, although she has not asked this.
Michael and Susan meet secretly outside the town. Michael proposes to Susan that he will court her as if he has never met her before and marry her. Susan agrees. He offers to begin supporting Susan and Elizabeth-Jane immediately and asks Susan's forgiveness.
Henchard returns home and tells Farfrae, whom he likes and trusts, the whole story of his past, which he has until now kept secret. Henchard tells Farfrae that there is one thing that stands in the way of his now making things right with Susan: There is a woman in another town whom Henchard has offered to marry, thinking that Susan was probably dead. Henchard had an affair with this other woman, by which she was disgraced,...

Chapters 13 - 16 Summary
Henchard provides a house and servant for Susan and Elizabeth-Jane and begins courting Susan. They are married in November of the same year. The townspeople wonder why Henchard has married beneath him. Henchard moves his wife and "stepdaughter" into his house and treats them kindly.
Farfrae improves Henchard's business, and Henchard learns that the townspeople now have more respect and affection for Farfrae than for himself. Henchard humiliates a habitually tardy employee by making him go to work without his britches, but Farfrae reverses Henchard and lets the man go home and finish dressing. This causes Henchard and Farfrae to argue.
On a holiday, Henchard and Farfrae plan competing celebrations for the townspeople. Hen-chard's festivities are rained out, while Farfrae's dance (under a tent) is a huge success. At Farfrae's dance, Henchard angrily declares that Farfrae's term as his manager is almost over, and Farfrae agrees. In a scene that recalls the morning after Henchard sold Susan, Henchard later regrets what he said and realizes that Farfrae really plans to leave his employ.
(The entire section is 173 words.)
Chapters 17 - 20 Summary
Farfrae hints to Elizabeth-Jane that he would marry her if he had more money. He then goes into business for himself but makes a point not to compete with Henchard. Henchard, however, treats Farfrae as an enemy and forbids Elizabeth-Jane to see him.
Susan becomes ill. Before she dies, she writes a letter addressed to Henchard, which he is not to open until Elizabeth-Jane's wedding day.
Soon after Susan's death, Henchard reveals to Elizabeth-Jane that he is her father. In looking for proof of his original marriage to Susan (he needs this to prove that he is her father and have her name legally changed to his), he finds the letter that Susan has left and reads it. It reveals that Elizabeth-Jane is not Henchard's daughter; that child died a few months after Henchard sold Susan, and the Elizabeth-Jane he knows is Newson's daughter. Henchard is distraught and decides not to tell Elizabeth-Jane. His behavior toward her changes, though; he criticizes her and increasingly avoids her. She feels unhappy and bereft.
Visiting her mother's grave, Elizabeth-Jane encounters a woman she has never seen before and tells the woman her life story. The woman says that she is moving to Casterbridge and invites Elizabeth-Jane to live with her as her companion. Elizabeth-Jane agrees.
(The entire section is 212 words.)
Chapters 21 - 26 Summary
Elizabeth-Jane asks Henchard's permission to take the companion position she has been offered, and Henchard is relieved to see her go. He is surprised, though, when he hears that a Miss Temple-man will employ her. This is the woman with whom Henchard once had an affair, the woman he was about to marry before Susan arrived in Casterbridge. She has changed her name to escape the past scandal of her affair with Henchard. Henchard, now free of Susan, has heard that Miss Temple-man, also called Lucetta, has just come into a large inheritance, and he wants to marry her.
Elizabeth-Jane moves into Miss Templeman's house. Farfrae goes to see Elizabeth-Jane but is attracted to Miss Templeman, and the attraction is mutual. Henchard asks Miss Templeman to marry him, but she delays her answer. Henchard later discovers that Farfrae is his rival in love as well as in business. Elizabeth-Jane feels rejected by both Farfrae and Henchard.
Henchard now hires Jopp, the man whose job was taken by Farfrae early in the novel, and instructs him to use every legal means of ruining Farfrae's business. Henchard then foolishly speculates on rising grain prices, and when the harvest is good and prices fall, he must take out huge loans to keep his business going. Blaming Jopp for this, Henchard fires him, and he vows to get revenge.
(The entire section is 225 words.)
Chapters 27 - 30 Summary
Henchard forces Lucetta to agree to marry him by threatening to reveal their past affair if she will not.
Henchard, though no longer mayor, is still a local judge. He is called to hear the case of an old woman accused of public obscenity. This turns out to be the furmity woman who witnessed Henchard's sale of his wife. The woman exposes Henchard in court, and he admits the deed. Lucetta, who had thought Henchard's wife was dead, hears of this and leaves town for a few days.
It is revealed that Lucetta married Farfrae during her absence, feeling released from her promise to marry Henchard by the news about his having sold his wife. When Henchard learns of the marriage, he again threatens to expose Lucetta's scandalous past. Farfrae moves into Lucetta's house, and Elizabeth-Jane, because she has feelings for Farfrae, moves out.
(The entire section is 144 words.)
Chapters 31 - 37 Summary
Because of the revelation about his past and coincidental business losses, Henchard is ruined. He declares bankruptcy and moves to a cottage owned by Jopp. Farfrae buys Henchard's business, house, and furniture. Henchard asks Farfrae to give him work as a laborer, and Farfrae agrees. Henchard hates Farfrae, though, who now owns all that was once his and is married to his former lover. The twenty-one years of Henchard's oath have passed, and he is drinking again. He begins to utter threats against Farfrae.
The current mayor dies, and the town council elects Farfrae to replace him.
Henchard has some letters that Lucetta wrote him years ago, during their affair. He knows that these letters, if made public, would ruin both Lucetta and Farfrae, but he has too much feeling for Lucetta to do the deed. However, he stupidly assigns the vengeful Jopp to return the letters to Lucetta. Jopp reads the letters aloud at a tavern, and the crowd plans a "skimmity-ride," in which effigies of Henchard and Lucetta will be paraded through the town to publicize their past affair.

Chapters 38 - 41 Summary
Henchard challenges the smaller, frailer Farfrae to a wrestling match to the death, but, when he is in a position to kill Farfrae, Henchard lets him go.
The skimmity-ride takes place. Lucetta is so horrified by it that she has a seizure and dies.
Newson appears at Henchard's cottage. He says that his being lost at sea was a ruse to let Susan out of their relationship. Newson has acquired wealth and now wants to share his money and his remaining years with his daughter. Henchard tells Newson that Elizabeth-Jane is dead. Newson accepts this and leaves town.
Henchard and Elizabeth-Jane renew their affection for each other, and she decides to take care of him.
(The entire section is 115 words.)
Chapters 42 - 45 Summary
About a year later, Henchard and Elizabeth-Jane are running a small shop and making a living. Farfrae and Elizabeth-Jane begin spending time together.
Henchard sees Newson outside of town and realizes that Newson somehow knows that Elizabeth-Jane is alive and has returned for her. Unable to bear the loss of his "daughter," Henchard leaves Casterbridge. When Elizabeth-Jane meets Newson and learns that he is her father, she turns against Henchard.
Farfrae and Elizabeth-Jane are married. Henchard thinks that perhaps he was wrong in assuming that Newson was in Casterbridge to see Elizabeth-Jane, and, full of hope, he returns to Casterbridge on the evening of the wedding. He sees Newson dancing with Elizabeth-Jane and knows he has lost her. She sees him and is cold to him, and he apologizes and leaves for good.
A month later, Elizabeth Jane feels remorse for her treatment of Henchard, and she and Farfrae set out to find him. Several miles from Casterbridge a man at a humble cottage tells them that Henchard lived there but died less than an hour previously. He has left a will requesting that Elizabeth-Jane not be informed of his death and that no funeral be held for him. Elizabeth-Jane, touched by his acceptance of his fate, abides by his wishes.

Situated at the confluence of the Sacramento River and American River, Sacramento is a city of contrast, defying expectations that the capital of a state must be a bustling metropolis studded with sleek steel and glass towers. There are buildings fitting that description clustered downtown, but the heart of California's capital city has tree-shaded streets lined with elegant Victorian homes. Unlike most major metropolitan areas that grew from a civic center, Sacramento started from several small communities that grew together.
Today, within the sprawling metropolis, the influence of these original settlements can be seen throughout the city. Just a few minutes southeast of Sacramento International Airport along Interstate 5, Sacramento visitors are rewarded with sweeping views of the river meandering down to the Delta. Sacramento's tiny settlement grew explosively with the discovery of gold. Disappointed gold-seekers returned from the gold fields and founded the surrounding towns. Today, the Sacramento region extends west from Davis and Woodland to the lovingly preserved frontier town of Auburn, northeast along Interstate 80, and to vacation spots in the Sacramento River Delta. Sacramento has grown from a tent city to the capital of California and has never forgotten its colorful Gold Rush roots.
Old Sacramento/Downtown/Midtown
Since its humble beginnings as a tent city, Sacramento's fate has been intertwined with its namesake, the Sacramento River. Today, Old Sacramento is a 12-block restored neighborhood between the river and Interstate 5 and is a state historic district with interesting old stone and brick buildings. There is a world-class comedy club, a live theatre, elegant restaurants with sweeping views of the river, candy stores, costume shops, pubs and bookstores to be found along the canopied plank sidewalks. The focal point of downtown is the Downtown Plaza , reached from Old Sacramento through a pedestrian tunnel covered with colorful murals. This open-air mall (cooled with suspended "misters" during the summer) features a megaplex movie theater, department stores, a bookstore, specialty clothing stores and much more. Plaza shoppers are entertained by strolling musicians, jugglers, acrobats and mimes.
Beyond the plaza is the K Street Mall , which extends several blocks to the east and is home to the Crest Theatre . This Art Deco venue was a vaudeville theater that has been restored and is now a repertory cinema featuring art and foreign titles. Further down K Street is the Esquire IMAX Theatre with its six-story tall screen, several vintage record stores, novelty shops, a blues club and several splashy psychedelic murals painted on the dignified walls.
The trees grab the attention of the first-time visitor to the Midtown district. Throughout the city, there are more than 250,000 varieties of fruit, flowering and palm trees. Many of the trees are huge elms and oaks planted by homesick settlers. In the summers, when temperatures average in the high 90s, the cool shade of the trees is welcome. Along the shaded streets are several cutting-edge off-Broadway theaters, a diversity of art galleries, fine and down-home dining establishments, as well as nightspots catering to every taste.
North Sacramento
Across the American River, this old neighborhood centered on Del Paso Boulevard has more than a dozen galleries and, as a result, is a popular area during Second Saturday , an event that happens on the second Saturday of each month and showcases free entrance (and often free food and drinks) into many art galleries around Sacramento. Today, spiffed up and known as Uptown, the area has also attracted interesting restaurants and cafes, and other businesses busily renovating the old neighborhood. To the east is Arden Fair Mall , with theaters, restaurants and a multitude of shopping opportunities.
East of downtown Sacramento, the town of Folsom traces its history directly to the Gold Rush. Along a four-block stretch of Sutter Street, now designated a historic district, are restaurants, coffeehouses and boutiques. Also, here, you will find the Folsom Zoo , affectionately nicknamed the "Misfit Zoo," which provides a haven for injured animals such as bears, bobcats, wolves, dogs and domestic cats.
Unfortunately, the Sacramento River that did so much to put the city on the map also had the alarming habit of flooding on a regular basis. The early town was practically erased several times before levees and the Yolo Bypass were built. The Causeway, a section of Interstate 80 on stilts, crosses the Yolo Bypass and connects downtown Sacramento with Davis. The University of California, Davis, attracts thousands of students and faculty with a taste for non-mainstream entertainment. Most evenings, the downtown streets overflow with townsfolk seeking unique events such as poetry readings, live theater, gallery openings and music concerts.
Regardless of which part of Sacramento you plan to visit, rest assured that here along the banks of the river with its Gold Rush past you will find a city with a promising future. It is, after all, the location of bustling and productive new enterprises, home to a major university and the seat of government for the great state of California.

California's capital city still has essentially a hometown feel despite its phenomenal growth during the past decade. For most of its 150-year history, Sacramento's culinary scene has featured Middle American fare served in fine dining rooms, steakhouses and grills. Its growth has resulted in an explosion of culinary choices. Sacramento has seen a staggering influx of quality ethnic dining venues. Throughout the metropolitan area a variety of sleek, sophisticated and elegant restaurants have opened, while venerable institutions underwent renovation. On the breezy banks of the Sacramento and American Rivers, patio dining includes spectacular views. Under the leafy canopy of the Midtown district, the view from patio tables beside Victorian mansions is pleasantly intimate. Throughout the capital region are a variety of distinct districts with eclectic and exciting dining experiences to satisfy both the gourmet and the aficionado of traditional American favorites.
Old Sacramento
Along the banks of the Sacramento River, a few blocks west of the Capitol Building, is where it all began 150 years ago. Merchants who built their shops in the Gold Rush town to serve the 49ers got rich. Today, this neighborhood sports roofed plank sidewalks and fine examples of 19th-century architecture and is a state historic park with some excellent dining choices. You can stroll through the pedestrian tunnel covered with colorful murals beginning beside the Plaza and emerge on Second Street bustling with horse-drawn carriages, characters dressed in period costume and plenty of dining experiences. A few doors to your left is Fanny Anne's Saloon , a loud, funky four-story nightspot where a cross-section of society comes to have a good time.
Walk a block to the west and perched on pilings above the Sacramento River is the Rio City Cafe , a restaurant that offers a spectacular view of the Tower Bridge and serves eclectic Southwest and seafood cuisine. Located across First Street from the historic Central Pacific Railroad depot, California Fats presents California cuisine and stir-fried dishes in a modern electric-green dining room. On board the Delta King riverboat, the Pilothouse Restaurant dishes up fresh seafood, its signature clam chowder, and steaks. Along the brick streets are funky boutiques, a few jewelry stores, sports memorabilia shops, candy stores and a farmers market.
This neighborhood has two districts of more than 60-square-blocks and features dozens of restaurants, bars and trendy nightspots. After a brief stroll through the "rabbit hole" (the pedestrian tunnel under Interstate 5), you arrive at the threshold of the Westfield Downtown Plaza . This shopper's paradise is an open-air mall featuring a variety of department stores and specialty shops. At the far eastern entrance, the Hard Rock Cafe offers wall-to-wall rock memorabilia, a great sound system and American fare. Further down J Street is Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar , a popular restaurant offering creative sushi rolls and a trendy, bustling atmosphere.
On the L Street side of Downtown Plaza, Morton's of Chicago is the place to go for prime rib that melts in your mouth. Over the past two decades, the Mexican culture has enjoyed a spectacular renaissance in Sacramento. This means there is an incredible array of authentic Mexican dining experiences. Downtown/midtown Sacramento is replete with Hispanic eateries from the typical mom-and-pop taqueria offering generous portions for a reasonable price, to the latest trend-setting interpretation of traditional recipes. Ernesto's , located in midtown, offers al fresco dining, an Art Deco interior and authentic Mexican cuisine. The chefs of Centro Cocina Mexicana experiment with the traditional to create unique and flavorful Mexican dishes.
East of downtown, among its tree-lined streets and solid Victorian houses, there is an abundance of unique dining treats. The Broiler Steakhouse in the K Street Mall is a time-honored restaurant that has been in business since 1950, and serves aged steaks, unique pasta dishes and fresh seafood. Harlow's offers modern Italian/California cuisine in a sumptuous setting, as well as an upscale nightclub. Biba is arguably the best Italian restaurant in the city. The eatery is named for its chef, a native of Bologna, who extensively researches and constantly refines the Northern Italian dishes on her menu. Zelda's Original Gourmet Pizza takes the Italian specialty, filters it through Chicago, and serves you crispy, hot pan pizzas that are uniquely Sacramento.
North Sacramento/Natomas
The sweeping river vistas along the aptly named Garden Highway, which borders the American River Parkway preserve, offer an intriguing mix of dining experiences. The quaintly ramshackle Rusty Duck , with its wide verandas, has been a landmark on the American River for two decades and emphasizes fresh fish and steaks, prime rib and pastas. Enotria Cafe & Wine Bar , in the heart of Uptown, offers award-winning California/Mediterranean cuisine complemented by an intriguing wine list.
Carmichael, Rancho Cordova, Folsom
While experiencing explosive growth, these suburbs to the east of the metro region somehow seem to maintain their rural small-town feel. Zinfandell Grill , located in Folsom, features wood-fired ovens, a mesquite grill and the latest gourmet Southwest-style dishes. For Vietnamese, try Andy Nguyen's located in a strip mall in Rancho Cordova. Its exterior is definitely not a representation of the quality of its Vietnamese cuisine.

It takes 105 triangles to make the particular dome shape I wanted (called a 3V), which could be a time-burner to assemble. The Folding Geodesic Dome simplifies things with tape hinges that pre-connect many of the triangles into 16 segments, each of which can fold into a small stack and connects to its neighbors via tabs and clips. The more hinges used the less time spent connecting triangles in the field. The dome goes up with 2 people in 2 hours or less. Takedown time is 30 minutes.
There are great Instructables for light domes made from coroplast or cardboard which negate the need for a support frame. This dome was made with an eye for economy, using 20 surplus 4'x8' 4mm coroplast political campain signs found on Craigslist for $100. The panels can be made from any stiff material (cardboard, coroplast, thin plywood, plexiglass) that is rigid enough to resist bowing.
This project was made possible by the resources at desertdomes.com including their dome calculator, dome formulas and the dome diagram that I use in this Instructable. (If you build a dome, please donate to desertdomes.com as I did.)
This dome is a light-duty 'backyard' dome, done as a proof-of-concept; it isnt't waterproof or windproof enough for open country yet. My next version will utilize a combination of thin plywood for the hexagons and coroplast for the pentagons (to let light in) and will address weatherproofing. This project was a runner-up in the ShopBot Contest - most exciting! Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote.

I also like a "flying" tarp suspended over my tents, keeping 99% of the water off the tent. When kept taught they won't flap in the wind too bad. If no trees available to suspend one, I use 8" tall garden/tree support poles to hold up the corners. A 10' pole would clear the top of the dome pretty well I think.
Thanks for the comment!
If you built it with the tabs on the outside for a smooth interior, you would need to build it top-down to reach the tabs on the upper segments.
The poles get easier after a couple of runs, but it can be pretty comical to move one thing and have them all try to fall on you.
Have you found any other materials that would lend to waterproofing? A campmate built a hexayurt out of insulating panels last year, I'm wondering if that might be a path to investigate; though I wonder how well the tabs would stay attached once scored, even with a strong tape.
As for the seams... short of adding an extra layer of waterproof tape on the outside, that's a tricky one. There's always Great Stuff, but man, that stuff is a pain, and not ideal for repeated setup/teardown.
I'll take some pics and update this Instructable to show the method. I'm going to the desert first week of May and will be setting up the dome for another trial, so I'll include some pics of that as well.
Send some pics of your project!
I am definitely building one of these to use a a temporary/portable gazebo...I will probably do a 2v Icosahedron though to decrease setup time.
Having worked with these before do you think this setup would be stable or should i just do a smaller door like what you have? The final build will be 8 feet tall and built out of the same material you used. Also, how stable is yours without the poles?
The door in your pic looks awesome, but I think coroplast wouldn't hold it's shape with that big a hole. The dome is somewhat floppy as you build it, getting firmer as you add segments; losing this much support may be trouble. Using a stiffer material like plywood might change that.
Perhaps get some free cardboard and build one out of that as a testbed, then use your findings to make the final one from plastic.
My plan is to put a pole on either side of the door hole with a diagonal strap to...this will make more sense with a diagram...there. The red would be a pole and the blue would be a string/rope holding in that corner.
Anyway we will see how the model holds up and move on from there :)
Short video that explains it well: http://www.thetalentree.com/zonotopia-by-installation-artists-at-the-burning-man-festival/
Nice pic by the builder: http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12257
I'm a maker, he's an artist. This is what inspires me to start designing digitally and outputting to a CNC.
If you cut the dome shapes with tabs folding upwards, you would get a smooth interior with ribs outside. It would keep the tarp off the dome for better air circulation between them; might be hard to clip it together from the outside though...
I do like the dome for it's lack of flapping in the wind; ideally I can get it waterproof sans tarp.
Keep the ideas coming people...
Also you should make a video of you putting it up, or a stop motion?
good luck with the contest.
Just right click on the footage in the timeline, click 'effects' then select 'speed up double'. Click 'add' to add this effect to the footage - you can do this more than once - then click ok.
After that you just need to export it.
One could also do well with a sealed or painted thin plywood, of good quality like a birch plywood, which I expect will be in my next version.
Thanks for the comment!
components and build a dome in days not weeks months or years. since styrofoam can be had for free at furniture stores as its used to pad shipping
from damage. a cnc router could cut replications of just few shapes. as you have said a geodesic dome caculator gives the rastra demensiions to enter into the cnc machine. another interesting article i had was called geotangent showed an infinate number of shaped structures could be built using the bond beam technology (with proper licences of course) geotangent just did the math using computers. so it be computer generated and fabricated as we call design build. concrete is benign so is styrofoam so ideal interior finish is plaster also benign. no mold ever . the beauty of bond beam is no reinforced re bar except in the slab. so tornado devasted location is idea place to build one. why not just keep cranking out components and build like barn raisng. it amazes me we furnish tents trailers when we could provide real dome homes.

Three former Morton stars join forces on UIC men's soccer team
Morton boys soccer wasn't able to recreate the 2011 state title last fall, but three former Mustangs are reuniting in college to try to recreate that success on the national level.
Joel Salmeron, one of the stars of the 2011 run, is heading into his sophomore year for the University of Illinois-Chicago's soccer team. As a freshman he played in 15 matches, made three starts and scored three goals. This fall, he will be joined by former Mustang teammates Joel Leon and Abel Guzman.
Leon, a defender, was one of the captains alongside Salmeron in 2011. Guzman, a forward, returned to the field last fall for Morton after missing two years because of a torn meniscus. The Morton trio will bring local flavor to the Flames.

Big temp drop this morning and then my period.
Well, I'm glad that the waiting is over and I at least have a result. Thanks ladies for your help and support! |

I'm glad it's not just me being cranky and bitter about my friend because she's super-fertile (she's the one who conceived on her honeymoon and was pregnant again within a year of giving birth) and I'm, well, not. I've decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that she doesn't remember the conversation we had about names - it was about 6 months ago. Although if she ever gets pregnant again I'm keeping my mouth shut around her!
Cristine, I'm sorry you feel low. I'm feeling the same - like it's just never going to happen for me and AB. I'm 9DPO, so we're nearly in sync this month and can help keep each others chins up (do Americans and Canadians say "keep your chin up", or is that really British?). Nickclick, did I forget to congratulate you? I'm always composing posts in my head that I never get to post, so I can't keep up with what I've said to who. Anyway, congratulations! -------------------- What I'm thinking is delicate. If I breathe I might lose it...

Lauren - I had a similar experience a while back. Lots of funny symptoms (nausea, headaches, general ooky feelings), a missed period, and a negative pregnancy test. Turns out I had an ovarian cyst . . . . For two weeks I had been convinced I was pregnant, and I remember it being strange and dissappointing . . . .
That being said, it's probably nothing to worry about if it is a cyst, although I more than understand the disappointment. I conceived in October via a follicle on my right ovary, and at the time I had a 2.5cm cyst on lefty. Hope this isn't the case for you . . . . (the part about the cyst, not the conceiving!) Funnybird - I totally understand your frustration, it seems awful . . . .er . . . something that both of this friend's names have been suggested by other people. Did she think you guys just wouldn't notice ???? Michelina - IVF!!!!!!! Exciting!!!!!! The latest info I had found during my internet travels (so take with a small grain of salt) was that with ICSI and assisted hatching, success rates can be as high as 50%. Kinda kicks IUI in the butt . . . . Have you heard of ARC (advanced reproductive care, inc.)? We looked into it when we were considering IVF, it allows you to make a payment plan instead of paying everything up front. I think they even have some sort of rebate policy where if you pay a certain fee up front, you get some kind of refund if you go through three unsuccessful cycles, which was a very enticing option for us . . . . I hope money isn't too much of an issue for you guys, but for us we wouldn't have ever been able to consider IVF without this program. Just one of the lovely downsides of being 23, halfway through my education, very very broke, and preparing for not only parenthood but the cost of infertility treatments as well. . . . .cruel cruel world!!!! Hope everyone is well out in bustie land . . . . |

she really wished she'd learned more about the birth management options before the birth so that she could feel better about the decisions...her big regret was that she really kind of felt bullied into some of the decisions and the OB who was on call with her (not her regular OB) really talked down to her and her husband. She felt that if she'd picked her doc more carefully (including the on-call situation) and was better informed about everything from epidurals to c-sections, she would have felt better about letting go of her plans to have an unmedicated birth. I know too many women who ended up feeling bullied and choiceless because they didn't know enough about their options. And not just with a hospital birth either, one gf had a nightmare experience with a midwife! It's so important to be in the know about proceedures, you nearly have to become an expert yourself to navigate the system these days, be it with a doc or a midwife. I do believe that you can still get your best possible scenario out of it but it's hard to advocate for yourself and deal with opposition or friction while you're in the middle of giving birth! A good birthing partner is invaluable. delibelly, sometimes second births are easier but then again, you just never know how it's gonna go, you've got to be mentally prepared to repeat that intense experience if that's the way you want to go. It's great that your midwife is open to discussing options with you. My second was faster but more intense, like the experience was just doubled up into a smaller space of time KWIM? Still managable but STRONG! She was a bit bigger too. eyelet, a friend laboured for so many hours on end until she ended in emerg c-section for her baby boy who was TEN-FOUR!!! I'm amazed that she lasted as long as she did, that baby was never coming out the natural way. But then my littlest sister had a fairly short and easy delivery of her boy who was way over 9 lbs and her first too so you are totally right, you just never know. There is no predicting and you have to be ready for anything, it's so true. funnybird, that would royally piss me off. I mean, really, that's the height of inconsiderate if it was done purposefully. But maybe it's for the best, the name may not have suited another child. Once a friend told me a funny story about naming her boy River but feeling weird about calling him that for weeks and weeks until she had a dream that changed everything. In the dream "River" was talking to her and saying "Mom, why do you keep calling me that? My name is Cory, C.O.R.Y. Cory!" So they changed his name. Made me laugh. |

Congratulations nickclick! I had a feeling...
funny, I'm at 7 dpo & don't know what to feel anymore. I don't get hopeful anymore, I'm always looking ahead to the next month asking myself if we can do this again. Sorry about the name thing, we intentionally keep all our names secret since EVERYONE else is having kids and apparently we can't. Michelina, sorry to hear the news this month but very excited about your upcoming IVF... regardless of what anyone at your work or elsewhere may think! |

((lauren))) keep us updated of course.
~~~~~more positive vibes for Michelina ~~~~~~ i don't think i would be able to wait around either without doing SOMETHING. funny, ugh. that's rude AND uncreative. i never shared that i wanted to name a girl after my grandma Charlotte, and my cousin had a girl last summer and named her after her grandma (Stella). different grandmas but even if i do i will seem like a biter to our family. but i do have to admit that mr.nick and i both like Elliott for a boy...... |

Lauren, the fact that you had strange symptoms and no period now is very strange. And blood tests are highly accurate so it seems unlikely that you are pregnant. I definitely think you should go back to your doc if you still haven't gotten your period within the next couple of days. Sorry that you are going through this. Thinking of you...
Funnybird, I would be irritated too! Mr M and I haven't shared any of our favorites, and I am glad we haven't when I hear stories like this. Thanks for all of the positive energy from the Busties! My 2ww is now over with a negative test. I saw my doctor yesterday and she made the referral for the Calgary clinic. I am so scared and so excited. Our journey will likely begin this summer. In the interim, we may do some more unmedicated IUI's just so that we are doing "something" while we wait. But my doc doesn't want to see me pour a bunch of money and energy into meds with Mr. M's numbers the way they are. I completely agree. And the wait to begin IVF begins! I will need a lot of positive energy. I am dreading telling my work. My manager has been fantastic, but some of the people in my department are not supportive of IVF. And we are already short staffed. But this is my life and my chance. Work is not my priority anymore. Must keep reminding myself about that. |

Lauren, how was your temperature this morning? Do you have any other symptoms?
Can I just have a little rant here? I need to get something off my chest. I have a friend who is 7 months pregnant with her second, a girl. When her son was born two years ago my SiL (who is also her friend) was annoyed because she (the friend) gave the baby my SiLs favourite name, which shed been hoping to use for her own child. This was before SiL was pregnant herself, but she was still talking about it recently when she found out she was having a boy so was obviously still irritated. Well, I saw on facebook this morning the friend is planning to call the girl MY favourite girls name! Now I know how SiL felt! I know Im being completely irrational, seeing as Im not even pregnant (and slowly losing hope that I will ever be), and it was probably me that gave her the idea in the first place by talking about how much I like the name. But still, it makes me sigh. I worry that all the names I like will have been used by our friends by the time we get the chance, if we ever do. Michelina and Cristine, how are you both doing? Are you TWW-ing? -------------------- What I'm thinking is delicate. If I breathe I might lose it...

Yeah, i was wondering that too zelda. When i was given the results it sounded very final which kind of made me angrier! My ovulation was probably the clearest it's been this month, my temps don't often match up with the rest but there was a definate temp shift... The only possibility is that it was earlier which doesn't help the situation. I'm becoming more anxious as time passes, i had a dream that i had a miscarriage last night which was quite traumatic and disturbing. I'm also having a lot of trouble dealing with the emotional swings every day too. Answers soon please!

Lauren, I'm sorry you're going through this agonizing wait. I have heard of very rare instances where blood tests are wrong, but usually they are right. (I am hoping your test is wrong since I know you want to be PG so badly!)
It could be a very off cycle...where you stressed out or traveling around the time of ovulation? Remember stress cannot delay a period, but it CAN delay ovulation which then triggers a seemingly late period (although your luteal phase stays the same). Thinking of you...please keep us updated. |

Yeah at the doctors. She was pretty vague and basically told me to wait it out if the bloods were negative so i haven't been back. I'll do another test on sunday and just try to chill out in the meantime since there's not really a whole lot i can do. I guess if there is still no result by next week i'll go back and look at other possibilities. Ah! The wait continues!

Laurenzorro, did you have the blood test at the doctors? Did they have anything to say about it being negative? As far as I know, the only thing other than pregnancy that can cause 18 days of high temps is an ovarian cyst. If your temperature is still raised tomorrow Id definitely give them a call.
Im sorry this is happening to you. I went through pretty much the same thing last year and the suspense and uncertainty sucks. Im thinking of you. -------------------- What I'm thinking is delicate. If I breathe I might lose it...

Wish I had more time to read thoroughly and to write more, but I have the opportunity to get some really good sleep right now if I jump on it, so I'm going to. But must jump in momentarily.
Welcome to all the new people in this thread! Just wanted to say that I tried to have a home birth and after 20+ hours of hard labor we had to change course and go to the hospital where I got a c-section. I don't recall ever really feeling fearful and I was truly prepared to continue, but after pushing for 2 hours, my cervix began to swell and my 9lb baby and her very large head would not come out. The midwife said the baby was having irregular heartbeats so that decided it. As some of the women on this board will recall, I grieved over it mightily afterwards. I had put so much into it to still end up in the hospital. Eventually I put it all in proper perspective and recognized that I had the most amazingly happy and healthy baby and that it didn't matter how she got here. In retrospect, I would have done two things differently. I would have chosen a birthing center over birthing at home (for various reasons it might have made things easier both during birth and when I came home), and I would have asked my midwife not to delegate so much to her apprentice. Hard to say if it would have changed anything, but it's possible. I don't plan to have another child, but not because I don't want to. It's because I'm 43 and by the time I would be able to plan it I would be 45 and I am afraid of the risk. But if I were in a position to have another child, the second time I would try for VBAC and I would have an epidural. Even if I did have to have another c-section, I would try to labor for as long as I could first because as I understand it, all the contractions helped my daughter with clearing her lungs and receiving necessary stress hormones to help her once she entered the world. If my labor had ended after the first 12 hours or so, I would have forgotten the worst of it and recommended the experience to anyone. The pain was intense, but so much so that it sent me into a sort of forgetful trance state, so it was almost a natural twilight drug. But when the extreme fatigue and dehydration set in (I couldn't keep anything down) I felt the birth I'd imagined slipping from my grasp, and it was very hard emotionally. I think deciding whether to go drug-free is a very personal one and that there are pros and cons to both. I'm more rabidly pro breast feeding than I am pro natural childbirth and will argue its merits all day. But as much as I worried that the drugs would hurt my wee baby, we had no choice but to have them, and she still came out bright eyed and rosy cheeked. Delibelly is right that everyone's journey is different. And in all likelihood, no one's is exactly how they envisioned it during the nine months of preparing. Still following this thread despite never having much time to comment. Good luck to all TTC and with the pregnancies! |

I just had my first Midwife's appt. today - sort of deciding whether I was going to use one again as I did with my son - my big thing was: I'm not sure I can do unmedicated again. I thought midwives were not able to assist at births where epidurals are used. Anyway, she cleared that up. I liked her because I worried it's a sort of sacrilege to say 'I might not be able to go "natural"again' with a midwife and she just put me at my ease.
For my son, my unmedicated childbirth was not the empowering experience I had hoped for. "Transition" was terrifying. I was in so much pain that I couldn't be aware of who was around me or what they were doing, and I felt completely alone. It was pure torment. And it 'only' lasted for two hours. Despite that, I'm still on the fence! My son was born healthy and well, I hate that slippery slope of the epidural, then the pitocin, then the catheter, you know? I wish there was something in the middle. A sort of semi-epi. Anyway, motherhood has cured my of all (well, most) judgement. Whatever you have to do to give birth to a healthy baby, that keeps you feeling safe and sane. Do it. Also, every experience is unique, every mother feels things differently. Transition was hardest for me, but pushing was a piece of piss. I've heard other people say that pushing was hardest for them. Some people just have an "intense" experience. Some people have incredible pain. And different labours for the same woman can take different paths. I dunno. It sucks that there's no way to predict. |

Congrats to all the pregnant mamas! Just dropping in from Mamaville to put my $0.02 into the birth discussion, in case you're interested....
Books: In preparation for birth I read The Birth Book by Dr. Sears and found it to be REALLY helpful. It definitely encourages women to consider an unmedicated birth but the emphasis of the book is really on helping you have a positive birth experience no matter what route you decide to take (or have to take), and it includes stories from women across the spectrum, everything from an unmedicated birth at home to a c-section in the hospital. They also reinforced a lot of the stuff I learned in my unmedicated childbirth class about breathing techniques, comfort measures, etc. I'm a fan (as you can tell). I actually wasn't a big fan of the The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding before I had Henry because I felt like a) it spent way more time than necessary talking about why "breast is best" [I was like, hello, I bought your book, I'm already sold on breastfeeding] and it felt like it was not very supportive of women who chose to go back to work or who otherwise were not going to be breastfeeding on demand for a year. And when I was having breastfeeding challenges I think I projected some of my challenges onto the book (like, "great, I'm doing it all WRONG, thanks a lot for making me feel worse") but now that we're on track I find it a handy reference book. Personal Experience: As I shared with folks here, I had Henry in a hospital with an OB/GYN and without medication, and honestly it was an amazing experience. (I'll spare everyone the repeat story...but I love talking about his birth so I'll gladly share with anyone who is interested.) I recently had a little reunion with some of the other women from my unmedicated childbirth class - in fact, we went to share some of our stories with the current class - and it was fascinating to me what different experiences we all had. One other mom had also gone natural and had a good experience but a faster labor than me, another had to be induced and ended up getting an epidural (because her labor dragged on for over 24 hours), and another had a really stressful experience where she was at one centimeter for 7 HOURS, finally got talked into an epidural to help things move along, dilated to 4 and stayed there for 6 HOURS, then had to get an episiotomy before finally delivering. Her take was that she really wished she'd learned more about the birth management options before the birth so that she could feel better about the decisions...her big regret was that she really kind of felt bullied into some of the decisions and the OB who was on call with her (not her regular OB) really talked down to her and her husband. She felt that if she'd picked her doc more carefully (including the on-call situation) and was better informed about everything from epidurals to c-sections, she would have felt better about letting go of her plans to have an unmedicated birth. Sorry, that was a book! Good to see this thread so active. yumyum, I can't believe how close you're getting, you must be so excited. zelda, it feels like just yesterday you got that positive test...enjoy kicky time with Ponyo! Michelina, Fookie, Cristine, funnybird, all the other TTC Busties, I am thinking positive thoughts for you! |

ok extra quick note.. Negative blood test and i'm now at 17dpo. What does this mean? Do i just keep waiting and testing? This makes no sense to me! I read that you can confirm pregnancy if you exceed 18 dpo with high temps... So confused!

Super fast more later...but to answer your question aphelendra, I am at 26 weeks and Mr. Z just now started to be able to feel the baby on the outside and see my belly move. My BFF felt it on the outside around 24 weeks, but her hand happened to be in the right place for a POWERFUL kick...more powerful than usual.
As for feeling movement myself, for a few days I doubted myself ("Is it gas? Was that it?")...then it was like he was moving like crazy and I had always been feeling him move! Overnight, practically. :-) This was around 19 weeks or so. |

short cause
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A lawsuit that is estimated to take no more than one day. A short cause case may get priority for courtroom space because it can fill a time-slot between bigger cases. However, if a supposed "short cause" lasts beyond one day the judge is authorized to declare a mistrial and the case will be reset later as a "long cause."

This place is certainly not much to look at, but the food and service was top notch. We went on a Saturday morning and the wait was around 35 minutes. People were hanging out inside and outside on a very cold morning, so I figured it had to be good! A waitress was very attentive about getting our drink order... More
This is one of the best restaurants I have been to. Who would think that such a good restaurant would be attached to the Best Western?

Stopped by for breakfast on a recent Saturday. It was a game day so we had to wait about 40 minutes. Once seated, we ordered the $1 (!) bloody Mary's and orders our meals. Everything was really good, although the portions were huge! I didn't need anything to ewt for the rest of the day!
Had dinner here twice while in town on business. Went on a thursday night and had no trouble getting a table right away. Went the next (friday) night and it was packed. Great selection of beer on tap with very good food.
Last weekend I was in Boulder attending a conference and had the good fortune to enjoy the Buff Restaurant one morning for breakfast . I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service were very good. I enjoyed the French toast along with crispy bacon, eggs and great coffee. This is a great place to start your day in Boulder.
I tried the saddlebag (made with sausages) with scrambled eggs and was really good, with really fluffy and tasty pancakes. At first they got my order wrong (eggs were sunnyside) but remade it in a minute or so, even though the place was packed. I wished I had the chance to come back and try something else as well. The...

The wait is worth it. The breakfast is fabulous and you get enough to take home some for another day. The scramble thing - I forget what it is called - is amazing. You can share it if you don't want leftovers. There is nice seating on a small outdoor patio if you are lucky.
You WILL wait a long time on weekends for breakfast. Plan on that. The food is super yummy though and the coffee. I have no complaints about service and they are extremely accommodating to any customizing of the menu.
We just moved to the Boulder area from Texas, and I used my phone app "Find me Gluten Free" and up came "The Buff". Being a vegetarian and gluten free, I just had to try it out. Little did I know I was walking into a landmark. After our first two visits, we realized we had found a new home... More

Promoting pedestrian safety in California has never been more important, and now communities across the state have an important new tool for conducting public education and outreach. "It's Up to All of Us" is a creative new public education campaign that seeks to reduce pedestrian injury and death.
Campaign materials are available free of charge and include a series of 18 media templates. Materials can be used "as is" or customized to address local needs. The Campaign Guide below explains what the campaign is and how to make it work in your community.
"It's Up to All of Us" is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through a collaborative project with the Pedestrian Safety Program of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). The campaign draws on CDPH's longstanding work in the use of public education campaigns to influence individual and community behavior through norm change -- an approach that is well proven in public health and has contributed to reduced tobacco use, better control of disease transmission, improved cancer screening, and better dietary habits.
"It's Up to All of Us" is one of several services and supports offered by CDPH's Pedestrian Safety Program and grows directly out of CDPH's work with communities across the state. In 2009, CDPH produced a comprehensive workbook, "Communication for Pedestrian Safety: Risk, Response and Change" (available below) which provides communities with a "how to guide" for applying risk communication and norm change principles and practices to pedestrian safety. In 2010-2011, CDPH conducted workbook trainings – and used that training – to inform the development of "It's Up to All of Us."
Communities and advocates are urged to use these publicly funded materials and resources to save pedestrian lives. It's up to all of us to make a difference.

Exercise Stress Test
An exercise stress test shows how your heart works when you are physically active. While you're exercising on either a treadmill or a stationary bike, an electrocardiograph or ECG (also known as an EKG) records your heart's electrical activity, allowing your doctor to see changes in your heart rate. While you're exercising, a nurse or physician assistant will watch your other vital signs, such as breathing and body temperature.
How is the test performed?
Electrode patches will be attached to your body. These patches are connected to the ECG monitor, which will record your heart rate throughout the test. You will then be asked to begin exercising on the treadmill or stationary bicycle. When your heart rate has increased to a certain level, you will stop and rest. Your heart will continue to be checked until the rate returns to normal.
What can my doctor learn from this test?
The test provides valuable information about the condition of your heart. If you experience chest pain or if you recently had a heart attack or heart surgery, the test can show how much physical activity your heart can handle or the amount of exercise that is best for you. It can also identify abnormal heart rhythms that occur when you are physically active.
What will I feel during the test?
You may feel tired from the exercise. Additionally, some people with sensitive skin have reported slight irritation from the electrode patches; skin cream or lotion can help reduce irritation after the patches are removed.
Is there anything special I should do before the test?
Do not eat, drink or smoke for three hours before the test. Also, wear comfortable shoes and loose clothing for exercising.
