I am re-reading my post from last night and realizing just how different this situation is when you have actually experienced a loss. Some of my friends really cannot understand why I think we got lucky and had a good outcome. The reality of how many women have lost babies to this horrible disease provides a very stark contrast to eventually going home with a healthy kid and slowly recovering.
One calm approach is to say that the most recent studies have shown much better outcomes for mothers and babies with any signs of PE if delivery occurs at 37 weeks. You and your doctor have agreed to follow this guidance to give your family the best chance at a healthy mom and baby. For many of us, waiting until 39-40 weeks can lead to a worse outcome, and you want to do what is best for your baby.
In the past, I have said nasty things about not having the luxury to plan my home birth with naked hippies walking around the birthing tub serving trays of granola and fighting off evil IV wielding doctors (I am a dirty hippie in real life), but that is some what less productive.

What started out as a burden has turned into a blessing for the Hillsville Pentecostal Holiness Church. The church was saddled with a water/sewer bill of over $12,000 in October of 2012, but thanks to donations from churches, individuals and businesses, the bill has not only been paid off, but money has been added to the church's building fund.
"I want to thank all the churches, individuals and businesses, and the prayers of many. It showed me what can happen when people come together, and when God is involved," said Pastor Jeff Pickett. "There are no words to express how I feel. It felt like everything was against me, but God turned it around to His glory."
Pickett added that it was "a month and five days" from the time the story of the church's plight appeared in The Carroll News that enough donations were received to pay off the bill.
"Somebody even came in off the street and paid a $100 on our regular bill," he said.
A water leak that ran into the sewer for a period of almost three months resulted in a bill of $14,323.74. At the Oct. 22 meeting of the Hillsville Town Council, three payment options were considered for the church's debt. One option would have reduced the bill to $8,843.24 and another would have put the bill at $12,776.94. Council agreed on the third option of $12,220.62.
Hillsville Pentecostal Holiness Church will not only begin the New Year without a major debt, but with new programs.
"The first Sunday of January we are starting our children's church, for ages five to 11, at 11 a.m., and we will have a nursery for newborns to four," said Pickett. "We're very excited about what happened this past year with our youth and are expecting even greater things this year in our youth program. It's the first year we've really focused on the youth."
In November, the church received permission from the Hillsville VFW to hold a fundraiser at its facility. Originally, the money raised from the fundraiser would have gone to pay the water/sewer bill. However, now it will go to the church's building fund.
"We already had the VFW building, so we decided to go ahead with it," said Pickett. "We appreciate the support of everybody who wants to come out to further the kingdom of God."
The fundraiser will be held on Sunday, Jan. 6, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The $6 meal will include chicken, green beans, rolls, a choice of potato salad or macaroni salad, a dessert and canned Pepsi products. Take-out plates will be prepared.
Entertainment will be supplied by three singing groups, beginning with the New River Boys from noon to 1 p.m. Close To Home will perform from 1 to 2 p.m. and The Preacher's Choir of Hillsville Pentecostal Holiness Church will fill the 2 to 3 p.m.
For more information, contact Pastor Jeff Pickett at 233-6971.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by valskerie Perfectly Pieced! I am addicted to FP slips, and I finally broke down and bought this one in black. I bought it in my usual size and have some room in it, but I like it that way. This slip is so versatile and can be worn so many awesome ways! I can wear it under sweaters during the winter, under a denim jacket during the spring, and under a graphic tee or tank in the summer. I usually wear some leggings, skinny jeans or shorts underneath, as it is a little short. I may need to get this in the Robin's Egg color, too! Amazing! 5.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marin_Foster My Favorite Summer Dress I fell in love with this adorable slip from the moment I opened the package! It is so light and airy, and the wider cut at the bottom allows the slightest breeze to flow through and cool me off. I've really had to be conscious of not wearing it too often this summer! The lace trim is finely done and gives the dress an antique-y feel. The material IS very thin, which is one reason why the dress is so cool, so you do have to be careful what you wear underneath. I tend to stick with white lace or nude thong underwear and either a very pale tube or camisole on top. I have tried to get away without a top underneath on hotter days because the racerback is so pretty by itself, but I feel that this shows too much in front. I am 5'5" 123 lbs and 36D; I have this dress in the medium size for a little extra room in the top portion and the hem hits just a little above mid-thigh. I will be very sad to put this sweet dress away in the fall, but I will look forward to wearing it again next summer! 8.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by vivabelle Finally a TRUE XS from FP! Usually every dress/slip from fp that doesn't have spandex in it is too wide with straps that are too long. This item is a true xs compared with other designer brands and I am so happy because I LOVE the robin's egg color but wouldn't have been able to justify $88 if I'd had to take it in which is the reason I usually hold out for sale with FP dresses. Thank you for accurately sizing this and please bring this ~gorgeous~ robin's egg color to more styles!!! 7.13.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by taytum love the design but awkward fit i bought this in two colors online--- the blue is gorgeous. i am however disappointed in the cut. the racerback in the back should really be cut lower. the same slip in black looked really cheap because you couldn't see all the detail of the stitching in the front, and it just looked like it was wrinkled or not well made. i hope FP makes this in more light, airy colors and does something with the cut of the back. i would definitely size up. i'm normally an XS, and even going up to an S, the racerback bugs me. 6.21.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Sweet and Simple This is a sweet summer slip dress, delicate and simple. The dress runs large, so size down. The bust and arm areas run large. The dress is very short, at 5'5" it hit me 5 inches above the knees. I tried all three colors, the ivory was the most appealing to me. I am not quite sure if I would wear the dress alone as it is very sheer. The racerback lace bras look really cute underneath, the slip would make an amazing layering piece. 5.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smblades90 It's hard not to wear this every day I'm obsessed with this dress. I have the black one in an xs (I'm 5'6'' and 117 lbs). It's definitely a "slip" like they say, so I always make sure I wear shorts under it. Usually I wear my little black cotton dancer shorts, but sometimes I'll wear jean shorts. I also can get away with wearing a black bra under it, but that wouldn't work for the other colors. You could try a floral tube top type thing underneath! 5.21.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by augustvonimatru Blue slip This was a surprise for me.It arrived in package form, Smooshed in the bag. The material is VERY,VERY THIN. There is nothing to this slip. It is cheaply made. The shoulder straps are so thin I was concerned just to try it on, for fear they might break! I am not exaggerating! To pay $88 for this slip to me is absurd. I sent it back. 5.9.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kristykelley6 ok Hi! Im 5.7" 120 lb, and I bought a small. It's too short to wear as a dress without a skirt underneath. (but I though a medium would be too wide) However, I will have to wear something under it anyway, because it is super see thu (just like in the photos). Also, as someone else mentioned, it is bell shaped.. like a perfect triangle, and also, the straps are made of extremely thin lace that doesn't have any give or elasticity to it... BUT despite how bad this review sounds, I still like it, and It will be good for layering! 5.4.2013

Hey Mikey He Likes It!
By Prince's Mom
from Pittsburgh, PA
The pills my dog takes for allergies are really hard on his stomach, so he avoids them at all costs. I have been hiding them in the peanut butter pill pockets for months, but he stopped eating them. I tried this new flavor and he's talking his pills without issue again.
Pill Pockets are a lifesaver.
By GBJer
from Glen Burnie, MD
Our 8 yr old Alaskan Malamute only has 3 legs.As he started getting older we needed to take him for Physical Therapy. They also gave him 2 meds to taketwice a day. He just spit them out. Then a friend from CHAAMP suggested Pill Pockets. What a difference! No more problems. The seal strip does come apart easily. So now we use a clothespin to keep them fresh. The beef one got really oily a lot. So we switched to chicken flavored.The 3 pack is a good deal.

works great!
By Kirby's Mama
from Wichita, Kansas
great for dogs with food allergies, not many products like this cater to dogs w/ food sensitivities. The only thing I don't like is touching the soft chews, its just a personal thing not a product flaw!

Does the trick!
By Jade's owner
from MD
These Pill Pockets were a welcome change from using cheese. Our dog was already on a fiber supplement so this is life saver for her. I am purchasing more today. She loves them and we no longer struggle to get her to take her daily chewable medication. Pair it with a Greenie's dog treat and she is even more eager to take the medication, knowing the treat is coming. either way, these Pill Pockets work great!

The ultimate in bait and switch! Stuff your cat's pill right into the treat and voila!! The dose is given and the kitty thinks they're super special for getting a treat!
Taste treat, too!

My dog has had to have a capsule 5 times a day for the past 5 years. She has never gotten tired of her "treat" when I call her for the pill. She likes the chicken flavor best.
Very useful!
By Macgregor
from Hampstead, MD
Have to give my dog 7 pills at a time, twice a day. I am good at giving pills but seriously, 7 at a time is a huge pain for both of us. These pill pockets worked better than I had hoped they would. I thought I could get 2 or 3 in a pocket but they are like playdough and I can mush all 7 pills in one pill pocket for one easy dose. Deffinitly going to order more.

Step 1: Get a book!
Step 2: Finish Compartment One
Step 3: Compartment Two
Step 4: Build the 'secret' feature...
1. Radio Shack (or other brand) voice recording module.
2. 9 volt battery
3. SPDT Lever Switch
4. 1/8" Phone Jack
Remove the button attached to the circuit board by peeling back the three clips that hold it in place. Then solder two wires to the contacts on the circuit board and solder the lever switch to the other ends. Be sure to use the N.C. or Normally Closed contact.
Step 5: Finalize the module...
did you use a specific program to upload your sound clip? or play the clip on your computer and use the record feature on the recording module? could you also specify what type of cord you used to hook up to your computer and what port in your computer it hooks up to? sorry for the many questions.
thank you, this will really help me with something I'm working on.

Defunding and repealing Obamacare is smart, and is a worthy objective. Unfortunately, the "strategy" of shutting down the government to achieve that goal is not smart, nor will it help us achieve our shared objective.
To be clear, I believe the law is a disaster for the American people. It is putting a wet blanket on job creation, squeezing more of Americans' hard-earned take-home pay, increasing health care costs, and decreasing access to quality healthcare. That is exactly why I fought against passage of the bill and have repeatedly supported efforts and legislation to defund and repeal Obamacare in its entirety.
The reality is that the Senate is controlled by Democrats who voted Obamacare into law, and Barack Obama is still President of the United States. President Obama will never sign a continuing resolution that defunds his signature legislative achievement. Therefore, as spelled out in Article I Section 7 of the United States Constitution, where it discusses procedures for overriding a presidential veto, we would need two-thirds majority votes in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to actually defund Obamacare by this strategy.
The only way the tactics laid out in this letter actually achieve our shared goal is if the federal government remains shut-down until the next elections in November 2014 and 2016. I do not believe the American people, as opposed as they are to Obamacare, will view that as responsible governing.
We should continue to govern in the way our Founders intended-as a loyal and principled opposition that looks out for well-being of all the American people. That is exactly what I will continue to do-work with my colleagues to pursue serious legislative proposals to get rid of Obamacare, and make the case to the American people of the dangers of this disastrous law.

Here is a simple way to make this modern and minimalistic design using just tiles, tissue paper and a laser printer.
It is time to amaze your friends...
Step 1: Getting started
1. Nice photo
2. Computer
3. Nine pieces of 10x10cm tiles
4. Five sheets of printer paper
5. Five strips of 10x20cm tissue paper
6. Double sided adhesive
7. Printer
8. Exacto knife
9. Decoupage glue
10. Paintbrush
Step 2: Picking and editing you photo
Chose which part of the photo you want to use and cut out a square. Put the square in a new document.
On this new document you can:
Change image size to 30cmx30cm.
Desaturate the image.
Change brightness and contrast until you get the desired result.
You might want use the paintbrush to get rid of unwanted details in the background.
You might want to reverse the picture, otherwise you will end up (like me) with a mirror image of your original photo.
Step 3: Dividing your picture into smaller elements
Make lines on your edited photo at 10 and 20 cm. This is just to make the next step easier, if you find it hard you can skip this.
Cut out the squares between the lines. Cut 0,5 cm away from the lines! Otherwise you will end up with a distorted face in the end. If you did not make the lines just check the ruler and make the cutting free hand. Each square will measure 9cm in each direction.
Paste the squares into 5 new documents, 2 in each except for the last one which will have just one square.
If needed, rotate the new documents to make them printable.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing....
Cool! Its great idea. But I dont use PS. But fortunately there are other programs, such as a poster printer that automatically divides the image into equal parts
Where did you get the tiles? This looks amazing!!
this is so cool! love this!
Awesome instructables :) I just made one :) it took me about 3 hours to complete..
I still need to do finish coating.
I tested this project using a few ideas from Yngla's steps here and from a person who suggested the lazier print idea. It was a fun project but noticed that if you do not use enough glue the ink rubs off while you are rubbing the paper off. I had to do this project twice to get the right out come I was looking for. BTW I used the self stick tile and it worked great! Thanks for the project Yngla! I wouldn't have ever thought of something so cool.
I've got the same problem over here
I'm finding it very difficult to do step 3.
also, what program are you using? I'm using GIMP
And no video tutorial, sorry!
Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this instructible!
As you can see, the my first attempt was a photo with my friends and I. I completely messed up... because I messed up on measuring my tiles and only estimated... I learned not to make that same mistake again on the second time around! The photo with the butterfly and flower was actually my second attempt at it.
Although I loath the bubbles and wrinkles, my friends say that it gives the whole gift a very vintage look! (; Score!

Apple extends complimentary iCloud storage upgrades until September 2013
Apple has been emailing previous MobileMe customers, including iMore's own writer-at-large, Chad Garrett, informing them that complimentary storage boost they received during the iCloud transition has been extended again, this time until September 2013. Here's the email:
When you moved your MobileMe account to iCloud, we provided you with a complimentary storage upgrade beyond the standard 5GB that comes with an iCloud account to help you with the transition. Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September 30, 2012.
As a thank you to our former MobileMe members, we will continue to provide you with this complimentary storage upgrade at no charge, for an additional year, until September 30, 2013. No action is required on your part. For complete details, please read this article.
Thank you again for using iCloud,
There was some confusion/elation last week when a glitch caused the iCloud accounts of previous MobileMe subscribers to read 2050, but alas the real extension turns out to be far more temporally conservative.
Still, a nice to have. Anyone else get their extension letter yet?

Apple extends complimentary iCloud storage upgrades until September 2013
Did not get the email but after reading your article just checked and yes it says 09/30/2013. I had talked to Apple and they promised to resolve the issue in one week's time and they did. Thanks for your article Rene and my compliments to your whole team. I don't even check with apple site or anywhere else anymore. Just read imore.
I got mine at 7:42 Eastern. And my date says 2013 (mine never said 2050).
5GB of storage for multiple devices is just a little small. If I registered a iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro and a desktop they'd give me 20GB, but since I want to combine them, they don't give me any extra? How does that fit into their accounting practices?
And if I buy a 64GB iPad / iPhone, it seems like it should include some more iCloud storage. Especially since this is a "Post PC" world and many people don't have any place else to back up these devices...
Got mine around 7:30 pm central. Nice to see they are taking care of us old MobileMe users
I'm just not sure why? We've already emptied our iDisk and MobileMe Photos (and iWeb?). What are they really replacing? Especially those with no iDevices? What are they doing with 20GB extra of iCloud?
Awesome. I miss Chad Garrett and wish him the best.
Former MobileMe customer. Bought an iCloud upgrade two months ago. NO invitation to the free offer. Hmmm...
What if you check your settings for the expiration date?
And just out of curiosity, were you over the the 5GB free space already?
So I am a former MobileMe user, with the @me.com email as my iCloud account email and all. Just realized that I dont have the complementary storage and probably never did. Did I miss having to do something to get it?/can I still?

I'll have to respectfully disagree with you here. Every time he has given a cryptic message like this, it's been because Google apps are being held hostage by Apple's approvals department. Google Maps and Gmail are two examples. Both sat in approval for a long time before they were in the App Store. Hopefully Apple will wise up with this one and let us have Google Now if we want b
WTF does Eric Schmidt want us to "ask Apple" about Google Now for iOS?
Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, when asked about the prospects of their predictive digital assistant, Google Now, coming to iOS, reportedly lobbed the ball back into Apple's court. Mahendra Palsule of TechMeme, who was on hand at the Big Tent Conference in India, tweeted the remark:
Alan: "When can I get Google Now on my iPhone?" Schmidt: "You'll have to ask Apple" #BigTentIndia
Schmidt is, of course, being his trademark insincere self. Is the comment meant to imply Google is waiting on Apple to build and release Google Now for iOS themselves? That Google has built and submitted Google Now for iOS to the App Store and is waiting on Apple to approve it? That Google wants to build Google Now for iOS but they need Apple to provide more system access than the current SDK allows?
WTF would we "ask Apple" about a Google product? Should we ask Google when iTunes is coming to Android? Should we ask Microsoft when BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is coming to Windows Phone? And who else, other than Nintendo, should we ask about Super Mario coming to other platforms?
This isn't the first time Schmidt and Google have given completely disingenuous answers when it comes to Apple and iOS. From ludicrous misstatements about the nature of open and closed systems to ridiculous claims of surprise when Apple announced their new Maps app, we're well past the point where the only explanation left is that he and they think we're either profoundly gullible or profoundly stupid, or both.
Attempted Sith mind-tricks aside, I'd love to see Google Now on iOS. The performance of Google Search is fantastic, and Google Now goes well beyond that, and Siri, to provide an amazing level of push-data. However, given Apple's restrictions on system-level access for iOS, I don't think a really robust Google Now app would be possible. (That might be what Schmidt meant, and if so, should have been what he said.)
Allowing that kind of system-level access to user data might not be a good idea either. Google probably wouldn't abuse it, but there's been enough privacy concerns with the existing sandboxes in place that Apple is probably right to remain conservative. And since Google chose to switch from being a close partner to being an aggressive competitor with Apple, special dispensation is extremely unlikely.
That's likely irksome from Google's perspective, since it looks like their short-term future is hinged on the more integrated Google+ and Google Now products. Unlike Apple's hardware model, which can generate most of the industry's profit share despite not owning most of the market share, Google's services model needs the attention of the masses to make money. And iOS users use tons of services and generate tons of money. But Google chose their ad-driven business model, and their current relationship with Apple. They own that.
So, unless and until something changes, rather than asking Apple about Google Now, I'll just ask Eric Schmidt to treat consumers with a little more respect.
Update 1: CNET has both the full quote from Schmidt, which implied Apple might not be allowing Google Now into the App Store.
"Apple has a policy of approving or disapproving apps that are submitted into its store, and some of the apps we make they approve and some of them they don't."
Update 2: Apple has also confirmed that's not the case to Jim Dalrymple of The Loop.
Apple told me today Google Now has not been submitted at all.
Oh, Schmdit.
Update 3: Apple told The Verge that not only hasn't Google submitted a Google Now app, or a Google Search update that includes Now functionality, but...
[An Apple] representative tells The Verge that not a single app from Mountain View is currently in the review process — let alone trapped in limbo.
Update 4: Google has confirmed to John Paczkowski that they haven't submitted a Google Now app to Apple.
Google: "We have not submitted Google Now to Apple's App Store."
So, again, WTF would Schmidt tell us to "ask Apple"?

WTF does Eric Schmidt want us to "ask Apple" about Google Now for iOS?
Except with all due respect, that's not true in either case. There's no evidence that either Google Maps or Gmail were held a second longer in the approval process than any other app. It's purely an assumption on your part.
After both were finally released, and even during the approval process, Google states that the apps were submitted but not approved. This is typical Apple when it comes to products they are threatened by, whether it's Google or some other company. I love Apple and their products, but things like this keep users from getting the best apps and experience available.
melwan, you are correct, they haven't submitted an app called "Google Now". It isn't a separate app. It will come in the form of an updated version of "Google Search". Remember how Google claimed that Apple was holding "Google Voice Search" hostage yet Apple claimed that was false then miraculously Apple approves the updated "Google Search" which included the "Google Voice Search" that Google was talking about all along? Follow closely people.
That's not true. 1) Google hasn't submitted a Google Search update either. 2) Google PR specifically said Google Search wasn't Google Now when they released the last update.
No one has any idea what Schmidt was talking about...
I personally took it to mean that apple is unlikely to accept a google now app, seeing as it is clearly a superior version to their Siri. Therefore why should google bother making an app for iOS when apple may just reject it? No, better to not bother and make it when apple users beg apple to beg google for the software.
Also I really wish apple would allow a google maps app. I really do miss street view while on my ipad
"Submitted but not approved" means that Apple is reviewing the app in the moment that statement is made.
Even if Apple would be able to review every app in just an hour - there would still be 60 minutes of "submitted but not approved"!
I don't know about Gmail (but if there had been some kind of "Apple stretching the approval process to piss off Google" - that would have been mentioned by many in the forums today - you're the first to mention Gmail in that regard today) - but there definitely was no "hostage situation" with Google Maps.
When Google -> Eric Schmidt - first mentioned that they are not sure if Apple would approve Google Maps - Google Maps wasn't yet submitted.
He's spreading FUD and things that people who don't like Apple can rage about.
It hasn't been submitted, not for an hour, not forever. Google themselves say they haven't submitted Now to Apple, Apple themselves say Google has ZERO apps or updates in for approval.
And I'm the one who's spreading FUD?
how do you know?
Read the updates. Apple said there's no Google Now submitted to the store, and has also told The Verge no Google apps or updates of any kind have currently been submitted.
Jeez, don't take it so personally. I enjoy all my apple products but some of the writing here makes me cringe.
First, instead of using a single tweet as a source for a story, how about using an original fully written one like this one from Techcrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/googles-eric-schmidt-says-the-ball-is-i...), They clearly put the conversation in the context of the "we're waiting for Apple to approve the app" situation.
It's a rival company's bigwig, not sure why you're surprised that he's trying to stick it to Apple.
Finally, I hope they do get it approved soon, Siri is absolutely horrid in recognizing phrases compared to the Google voice search currently available.
1) I linked the the full CNET story lower down. 2) Apple said there are no Google apps awaiting approval, so it's not "clearly" anything. 3) I didn't take it personally, I took it appropriately. I get to do that :)
Why the hell would I willingly use iTunes???
Good for you.
Not one format that is standardized... no wonder you have trouble.
I only use standardized formats. Never had a problem on any platform. Best way to make sure Windows computer works was to install QuickTime. But now MS supports the standard formats too.
Well to be true, I have only had problems with one platform. All those based on Linux seems to have something against proper standards.
Why don't you google ISO/IEC 14496
What the heck are you babbling about? What "trouble"?!
My entire point was that, with Android, you don't need to worry about whether or not media is in a standardized format, and you don't need to push media through some sort of converter (ie. iTunes), in order to play it *natively* on your devices.
With Android, you can obtain a media file of ANY sort, from ANYwhere, and just hit PLAY.
It just works. :P
As for Windows, Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is MUCH better than Quicktime will ever be. I don't know of a single home theater enthusiast who would bother with Quicktime for anything. Hell, even those who use Macs as a HTPC usually use Plex or XBMC instead!
Standardized formats? Completely irrelevant... in fact, they're a total roadblock to worry-free media consumption.
You have no experience I see with video compatibility on the Windows side.
Only problem you have ever had on windows and video compatibility is to get quicktime installed. Our company did extensive research on what format would be most compatible independent on platform. And our choice fell on Sorenson and Quicktime. That was in the days just before h.264.
And you seem to be one of the guys that is happy with the poor quality of x.264. Just so you know it's pure crap to something that uses proper h.264 decoder and encoder.
So funny what u pirates are happy with. And besides that h.265 is on it's way. Keep on living in the crapp.
No I have not seen one linux machine handle video properly, and on windows quicktime still rocks though development of it has stopped.
But I guess you don't even know what quicktime is or what it does. A hint Quicktime is not a player. Though it comes with one, called Quicktime player.
Well apparently you have categorically through your history chosen non standard formats and now live with the trouble while those who categorically chosen standardised formats and platforms that support standards have less trouble.
I never had any trouble with what I produced or viewed. Even Blu-rays is made according to the ISO/IEC standard.
So all the pirated material you view is converted and therefore you have a loss in quality.
Well you live in a free world, if you want to crawl in the dust your free to do so.
you're babbling again, making ridiculous and inaccurate assumptions, and you completely missed the point I was making about Android being capable of playing anything you want to play without having to convert it first.
The x264 library and most programs that utilize it are quite capable of producing fantastic h264 results. The mkv container is also extremely efficient for storing said media alongside the HD audio tracks, chapter information, and subtitles required for any decent rip.
Once again, though, you completely missed the f'n point with all that nonsense about quicktime and piracy...
Nope i do not miss any point, where is mkv used if not with pirated content.
Anyway x.264 libraries does a really lousy job. Ever compared the two even neck to neck?
Why do you think VLC on a mac offers you the option to use the built in libraries in OSX rather than it's x.264? Would it be cause x.264 does such a grat job?
And what will happen with the h.265 support in Android do you think? Will it ever be there?
Never the less it would not surprise me if an idevice actually supports more formats than a android does.
"From ludicrous misstatements about the nature of open and closed systems to ridiculous claims of surprise when Apple announced their new Maps app, we're well passed the point where the only explanation left is that he and they think we're either profoundly gullible or profoundly stupid, or both."
"past", not "passed".
I think his tactic was to try and spur Apple into doing whatever it is they are doing on there end faster. But that aside, BB10 runs Mario Kart 64, I want Mario Kart 64 on my iPhone, with a Bladepad.
Interesting: Despite Eric Schmidt's comments, Apple says Google Now for iOS has not been submitted to the App Store (http://bit.ly/11owhE2)
No they haven't. According to a statement from Apple to the Verge, there's no Google Search , or any Google app or update awaiting approval.
So, more honest than clever?
DCMenzel, see my previous reply. There is no separate Google Now app. It's built into Google Search on Android and would be on iOS as well if it came out. There is no new app to submit, only need to update the existing Google Search app. Lotta erroneous info in here from people who don't really know how Google Now works.
No, your reply turns out to be erroneous :)
No Search update either, according to Apple.
Man...seems like you took that personal. LMBO. That's a lot of words to say a little.
Cryptic? Yes. Something to get worked up over? Nope. We'll find out in due time what he meant.
You don't take people treating you like an idiot personally?
He should say what he means. The onus isn't on us to "find out". Right now it looks more like an outright lie meant to make Apple look bad. That's sub-optimal for us, for Google, and for Apple. Mostly us.
Nah man, these aren't issues to get bothered over. Cryptic statements can be annoying but he did nothing to me personally so I'm fine waiting for clarity or never knowing. If it turns out you/Apple followers blew up over nothing, the egg won't taste too great. I've tasted it too often to learn to wait.
It is possible he was pulling a Schiller. If so, it backfired the same. With Schiller outright lying to people, where was the vitriol for his antics? Not "oops.. He was wrong" but the same personally emotional response to that?
We all take things differently but first world problems aren't worth my emotional time. I'll debate them all day though. :-D (you know that oh too well; lol)
Likewise. And yes, Schiller's comment on Android 4.2.2 was similar, but more akin to Google comments that Apple is closed: an incorrect statement about a competing product.
Schiller didn't intimate Google was trying to screw Apple over.
True, true.
This was the exact same lie Schmidt told about Google Maps, and people believed it then as well so of course he's going to trot it out again. Too bad he shut down Google Labs a while back, or they might have been able to invent a new lie for him to try out.
Why is he taking it so personally? I love all my apple products but I do think it'd be nice to have some apps like google now. Not to say that they're better, but to have more options. I don't think Schmidt said anything wrong, I guess only totally hardcore apple fanatics would see this as offensive
I didn't take anything personally. I want Google Now on iOS. I like it a lot. I use it on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 all the time (does that make me a failed fanboy? Nonsense terms like that are so confusing...)
I'm not a fan of major corporate leaders thinking their customers are stupid. Forgive me if I choose to point that out.
EITHER one is as likely to lie as the other. Google could be lying, as could Apple. "Oh, Schmdit" implies that it is absolutely the case that Apple is honest. Schmdit knows definitely, and really, he's the only one who *knows*.
tldr; Either could be lying, "Oh, Schmdit" seems biased.
You think Apple would lie in multiple on-the record comments made to major news outlets by their PR department? Given the history of Schmidt and Apple PR, which scenario is more likely?
I guess the point is no one will know for sure, it is just conjecture, as Google will say they did, and Apple will say they didn't. Unless Google can publish the code, or Apple can post a shot of all their submitted apps, no one will have definitive proof.
My point is all of these other companies have issues with Apple over apps getting denied, there has to be at least a sliver of a chance that Apple is lying here.
Google PR has now confirmed the same. So...?
So, Schmidt did lie. I wasn't saying it couldn't be Google lying. But my only point was that there was a *chance* (until Google confirmed it) that Apple was lying. That was all I was saying.
I had google now on my Galaxy Nexus and S3. I hated the majority of it. I turned 80% of it off as it became annoying. I personally like Siri better.
I agree.
As always, Rene, great editorial. I only wish more tech columnists followed your practice of showing both sides of an argument and then providing evidence as to why you come down on the side that you do.
Rene- you need an 'update 3'. There is no separate Google Now app, it's built into the google search on android, and would be on iOS as well. The fact that Google hasn't submitted a new app is irrelevant as Google Now operates through the google search app. Get your facts straight before throwing out quips, please.
That's incorrect. 1) Google hasn't submitted a Google Search update either. 2) Last time I said that Google PR contacted me and asked me not to say that, pointing out iOS Search and Google Now were two separate, unrelated products.
My facts are straight. And apology accepted :)
This is truly an awful take, digging around to conjure up some imagined slight. As you broke it down:
1) Google Now is a system level service.
2) Apple does not allow system level services
3) Ergo, Google is not going to develop now until Apple allows system level services
And it is somehow "disingenuous" that Google did not outline a specific roadmap "if Apple does A, we will do B?" What a self-important, entitled attitude to demand a company supply specific strategic directions for a crown jewel in a venue not devoted to that service.
I did no digging. I took one tiny little step and there the slight was.
Google could do a significant portion of Now on iOS as it is. They can access Calendar and Location, they could tie in weather and their mapping data. It wouldn't be as good as Android, but neither is Google Voice.
Schmidt was unclear at best, deliberately disingenuous at best, and it's not the first time.
He didn't "no comment", he didn't "we're not here to discuss that today" he didn't do any of a dozen things classy executives do in that situation. He flung it directly at Apple.
That's not okay.
You can make it about me all you want, but it only reflects poorly on you. (See, I can be needlessly, childishly personal as well, if that's the song you insist on dancing too?)
It is a matter of tone. You decry Schmitt for not laying out a roadmap in an irrelevant venue, and then, instead of saying
"Schmitt did not clearly articulate reasons for Google Now's absence on iOS"
you headline
"WTF Does Eric Schmitt want"
and write he is
"being his trademark insincere self."
And then you say that *others* are being needlessly personal? If so, we are only dancing the tune you insist on playing.
Disappointing relationship between these two great companies
The last time Schmidt said this was about Google maps in late Sept and Dalrymple had the same response as he does now (the guy is predictable), yet two months later maps was released. Perhaps Schmidt is confused about when an app is actually submitted to Apple for approval.
That's possible. Probably better not to comment at all then. He shouldn't be seen as confused about that stuff.
Google also said they were shocked -- shocked! -- that Apple stopped using their data service in Apple Maps, which is almost impossible to believe. (Making your customers choose between thinking you're lying or incompetent is never a good thing.)
The saddest part is that they simply have to stop saying stuff like this, and it would be a huge win for them.
I'm not sure what his role is anymore, he does appear not to be "in the know" of what is happening at Google itself. I'm guessing he's a bit of an ego and like to see himself at the top of his newsfeeds. what a better way of doing that than toss out an inflammatory statement
p.s. thanks for all these responses. you rock!
Guess one more area that we get to wait and see about between competing companies. Why is everyone so surprised.
FYI, I'm pretty sure that Google Now would work even without system level access. The only thing it wouldn't be able to do is perform phone operations. It does a lot more than that. I could go into more detail if everything I typed didn't keep getting MARKED AS SPAM!
edit: DAMMIT, I have a lot more to type in to flesh this out, but it keeps getting marked as spam. WTF!?!? This is getting ridiculous!
Google has to submit it first.
I am so sick of people getting butt hurt from either side... isheep or andbots... I have used both and like both platforms and think they each have something better to offer than the other... But people take this crap way to seriously like they own the company... Who cares what he said, it wasn't even remotely bad... Everyone who says they won't use GoogleNow just because it is google is ignorant and close minded and fits the common stereotype of an iphone user.... Everyone needs to grow up and realize both companies will lie to their consumers to save face... Apple is not any different than any other company
And Rene, you are way to biased about things... I have only read a few of your columns and don't think you are giving readers the full picture... Even Phil at AC is pretty unbiased when he writes about iOS topics... I think you should take some lessons from him
It is interesting and telling to see the bad reaction by Rene. In the last two weeks, the talking tools of Apple and Google made false statements about each other, yet for Apple Rene shrugs it off while he offers anger towards Google. In understand these are difficult times for Apple fans, but come on.
What specifically makes me bias? Maybe you're bias against me? See how useful that line of unsupported reasoning is?
Here is what I think about this. First of all, that man is soooo gross. I cannot stand his face. His rude tude just makes it even more uglier. It's like looking at the ugliest thing in the world. And not just because he is Google.
Google knows that Apple is a powerhouse and has a ton of fans/users. The fact that he is trying to put Apple on the spot by making them be the 'bad guy' is just wrong. He's such an ugly bully that he NEEDS Apple to make his (bazillion) lonesome products run in more places. People don't realize how much of their info is being used by Google and tracked. You don't see Apple attacking Google (yet). And I didn't say Apple doesn't (just not as much more than Google).
What Apple needs to do is just correct Siri. Correct Maps. Do a 360 on those and then some more and people will rely less on Google's offerings. I've always been a google search fan. But sometimes they seem to be full of themselves and only want me me me (google $$) and not us us us (consumers).
I hope Apple doesn't need to rely on Google at all some day. Don't feed the bullies.
If you mean in the headline, I believe that was what they meant: Schmidt says "ask Apple" but what the flick is he saying they should ask? What actual question?
Same initials.
Looks like you were right, Rene.
"However, Apple told CNET that the Google Now application was never submitted for approval to its App Store. And now Google has confirmed this, with a representative telling us that, "Yes, I can confirm for you: We have not submitted Google Now to Apple's App Store."
Yup! I'm accepting apologies from all commenters who were snarky or trolling. Not holding my breath though :)
Fair enough, I'll apologize. I'm still scratching my head at the confirmation of 'no new app submitted' because it shouldn't need to be in a separate app. The fact that no update has been submitted for the existing Google Search app (where Google Now would operate out of) confirms that they haven't moved on it then.
I'm guessing then, that what Eric Schmidt may be cryptically saying is that he thinks Apple's policies need to change in order for Google to feel like they're giving the full Google Now experience for iOS.

Hello Rene
To be a classy site, please refrain from nasty abbreviations in the Title and body of posts. I like to refer my students to iMore and comments like this make it difficult. I find TWIT.TV to be an example of good Editor leadership and sets an example for all that contribute.
The ElderTechTutor
We do it exceedingly rarely and only when the editorial value is overwhelmingly great.
We trust everyone is smart and mature enough not to find offense when there is potential otherwise -- "Why the fudge" is just as legitimate a reader, and if you want to be all cool and future-thinking about it, "why the frak".
We definitely think of the kids when we publish, we just don't treat adults like them :)
google now would be a great addition. I use it now on my nexus everyday for bus schedules and sport scores
If you want Google now so bad then you should go get an Android phone. Simple solution to a simple problem.
I wonder if google now will be the same on apple as it is on google
I think this is just crazy talk. Eric Schmidt is know for saying off the wall stuff and honestly I don't want to use any Google app...I don't want them tracking me reading my emails learning what is important to me...they already know where I live...and what I eat...they have pushed privacy restrictions to the creepy line but haven't crossed it...yes Eric said that too....

Thursday, October 3, 2013
Andrea Miller, 29, of Ridgeville, has been charged with Felony DUI in a deadly crash that occurred at 3:15 a.m., Thursday morning in Dorchester County.
Vickie Turner Bryant, 56, of St. George, was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:41 a.m., according to the Dorchester County Coroner's Office.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, the wreck happened on Highway 78 at Orangeburg Road and involved three vehicles.
According to Sr. Trooper Bridget Wyant, Vehicle 1 -- a 1998 dump truck, full of asphalt, driven by Delane Carter, 45, of Ladson -- was stopped in traffic for a flag man in a construction zone.
Vehicle 2, a 2002 Buick driven by the deceased who was wearing a seat belt, was stopped behind vehicle 1.
Vehicle 3, a 2010 Hyundai, driven by Miller under the influence, but wearing a seat belt, failed to stop, hitting the rear of vehicle 2 driving it into the rear of vehicle 1. Miller was transported to Trident Medical Center with minor injuries and then booked into the Dorchester County Detention Center.
All three vehicles were traveling west on 78.
According to witnesses on scene, it appeared Miller never slowed down as she approached the stopped traffic.
The crash is still under investigation by the SCHP.

text: I am looking for pics and info on the Israeli Negev to determine if it is feasable to build a similar weapon without spending 5.000 on a factory parts kit. I have a UK59 which utilises the same simple feed lever mechanism that was later refined by the Israelis in the Negev. MKCanuck is going to post what he has on the Negev and I will post whatever pics anyone wants on the UK59. If anyone has pics or info please jump in.

After almost an 18 month absence Hot and Hairy Nick has returned!! As if that wasn't good enough, after over a year away, Christian the amazing cocksucker also makes a return appearance. Nick almost got married and Christian was studying in the Far East. The timing was perfect because Nick was long overdue for some nasty style servicing and Christian loves to service in a nasty, kinky way! Not only did Christian service Nick's cock in a way that only he can do, he give Nick one of his famous rim jobs. All that sucking and licking and slurping caused Nick to blow a load where the first squirt went way over his shoulder and the second one shot straight up in the air and then landed in his pubes. Christian the nasty cocksucker that he is, lapped up all the sperm that was trapped in Nicks's pubes!

Such a shame Nick's pubes were shaved. I hope it was because of a good reason like having had crabs instead of just being stupid and thinking it's hot, because it's not. Body hair (especially his) is beautiful.
Nick is the greatest. I love him and his body. I would like him for a boyfriend.

The Looks
Looking Ahead: NM
State sets its focus on the second of a two-game series against I-10 rival UTEP
on Wednesday, Dec. 5, in El Paso, Texas. The Aggies have met the Miners 81
times in program history, including last Wednesday's win in Las Cruces. After
that, NM State will take a brief hiatus until it welcomes Rio Grande rival New
Mexico to the Pan American Center on Dec. 18.
Looking Back: The
Aggies went 2-0 on the weekend with a big win over undefeated I-10 rival UTEP
69-68 on Wednesday, and a late comeback win, 70-68, at Southern Utah. Stafanie
Gilbreath earned a career-high 22 points against the Miners and Danesia
Williamson led the Aggies with 23 points, 10 of those from the line. NM State
then came up with a last minute win over the Thunderbirds, helping head coach
Mark Trakh to his 300th career win as a Division I head coach. Williamson and
Gilbreath led the team in points once again, with a layup by Williamson sealing
the victory for NM State with two seconds on the clock.
Aggie Country
About the Aggies:
NM State returns six from the 2011-12 team, including Kelsie Rozendaal, who
finished the season with a .526 shooting percentage. Rozendaal was third on the
team with 108 total rebounds and second with a .778 free throw percentage on
the year. Senior Jasmine Rutledge also returns for the Aggies after averaging
5.7 points per game with 4.1 rebounds. Rutledge saw action in each of the
Aggies 30 games last season and started in half of those.
Chrissy Fletcher and Camila Rosen also return to the
hardwood as two of the Aggies starters. Fletcher went 4-for-4 at the free throw
line against UTEP (11/16) while earning her second straight academic All-WAC
honor. Rosen picked up 32 steals as a junior and earned a season-high 13 points
against Boise State (1/7).
Gilbreath joins the Aggie squad as a transfer from USC. The
former Trojan played in each of USC's 30 games last season, starting 17
contests and averaging 3.9 points per game. She led the team in free throw
percentage at 83 percent (24-of-29) and averaged 2.6 rebounds per game.
Gilbreath sat out three seasons with the Trojans due to knee injuries.
Trakh-ing Down No.
300: Head coach Mark Trakh picked up his 300th career win as a Division I
head coach on Saturday, Dec. 1, against Southern Utah. The Aggies pulled off a
last minute 70-68 defeat over the Thunderbirds, helping Trakh to earn the
milestone victory. Currently, Trakh sits with a 300-213 career record.
Stef's Standout Week:
The senior transfer averaged 18.5 points on 35.3 percentage shooting, 5.0
rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game as the Aggies went 2-0 on the week against
UTEP and SUU. Gilbreath opened the week with a career-high 22 points, eight
rebounds, three assists and shooting 5-for-8 behind the three point line in the
69-68 win over I-10 rival UTEP. She tallied a career-high five three's (62.5
percent) against UTEP and matched her career numbers for rebounds (8) and
assists (3). She then came back in the win over Southern Utah to post 15 points
with a 35.7 shooting percentage. She was perfect at the line, going 6-for-6 on
the week with three each game.
Second Half Comeback
at SUU: The New Mexico State women's basketball team came back late in the
second half to take a 70-68 victory over Southern Utah, 70-68 on Dec. 1, in
Cedar City, Utah.
The Aggies proved powerful at the line, going 12-for-16
(75.0 percent). Seniors Stefanie Gilbreath and Kelsie Rozendaal each tallied 15
points on the game with sophomore Danesia Williamson collecting 11.
Gilbreath started the Aggies off with a three pointer right
at the arc, followed by another three by freshman Sasha Weber. NM State then
allowed the Thunderbirds to go on an 11 point run before Gilbreath dropped a
jumper for the Aggies.
With the team trading point, Jasmine Rutledge picked up two
free points for NM State before three other Aggies came up with shots to move
the score to 26-18. Another pair of free baskets for the Aggies led the way for
redshirt freshman Elena Holguin and Williamson to help the team stay in the
The second half started on the right foot for the Aggies
with Rozendaal picking up the first five points for NM State with a long three
to open the period. Williamson went to the line first time in the half,
dropping both her shots and posting the Aggies score to 34 before the
Thunderbirds made a move on offense.
Rozendaal sank her second of three three's on the night to
put NM State within six points of the T-birds after being down by 14 at
Trading shots with the Thunderbirds, NM State came up with
two free throws by Rutledge and two more by Williamson to put knot the score at
68. A layup by Williamson with just two second left locked the win for the
Aggies and moving their overall season record to 5-2 on the season.
Rekindling the
Rivalry: The New Mexico State Aggies derailed the undefeated UTEP Miners
69-68 with a late battle on offense at the Pan American Center on Nov. 28.
Senior transfer Stefanie Gilbreath finished her first Battle
of I-10 game with a stellar 22 points to collect a regular-season career high.
She went 5-for-8 on three pointers and picking up eight rebounds to match her
career-high. Sophomore Danesia Williamson also picked up a career-high with 23
points on the game with a solid 10-of-12 at the line.
NM State bested the Miners shooting 35.6 percent on the
night and dropping 10 three point shots to UTEP's five three's.
With the Miners maintaining the lead throughout most of the
game, NM State kept the buckets consistent in the second half with a pair of
good free shots from Williamson and Elena Holguin near the middle of the perioid.
A three by Gilbreath followed by back-to-back layups by Kelsie Rozendaal and
one from Weber moved the Aggies within two points of the Miners. A jump shot by
Gilbreath tied the game 61-61 for the first time of the night.
Gilbreath also gave NM State the lead 64-63 with a deep
three. NM State and UTEP exchanged a couple of three's on their respective
sides of the court, but Williamson's work at the free throw line proved to be
the necessary tool for the Aggies to earn their first win over the Miners since
Nov. 17, 2010.
Sasha's Big Break: Freshman Sasha Weber worked for the best
game as an Aggie over the weekend at the Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving
Classic. The 6-foot guard helped lift the Aggies to a 2-0 weekend after picking
up 13 points in the 55-52 win over George Mason. She followed that up with a
career-high 20 points in the championship game versus UC Irvine. Weber was 4-5
behind the three-point arc and had two assists on the night. She also notched
new career-highs in three pointers (4) and free throws (6) against the
Anteaters. She picked up four points and a rebound in her 16 minutes of play
against Rio Grande Rival New Mexico as well. She averaged 12.3 points on 46.2
percent shooting and 2.0 rebounds on the week.
Tournament Champs: The New Mexico State Aggies claimed the
Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic tournament title with a stellar 50-44
win over UC Irvine on Saturday evening at the Pan American Center. The previous
night, the Aggies claimed a 55-52 win over the Patriots of George Mason. With
the 2-0 record on the tournament, NM State's Kelsie Rozendaal and Sasha Weber
were named to the All-Tournament team. Rozendaal was also selected tournament
MVP for her work on the hardwood.
Tough Luck in ABQ:
The Lobos took advantage of the points off turnovers in the win over NM State
with 19. The Aggies finished the night with similar numbers to New Mexico, but
the team just could not find the basket.
The first half opened up with the Lobos taking a 4-0 lead,
but sophomore Danesia Williamson downed her first two of 10 baskets of the
night. With the Aggies keeping with just those for points until near the nine
minute mark, freshman Sasha Weber brought the Aggies back in the game and NM
State left the hardwood with 27-20 at the half.
NM State earned the first points of the second half, but
struggled to find the basket. A pair of good free throws by senior Kelsie
Rozendaal early in the period along with a bucket by Elena Holguin helped move
the score for NM State. The Aggies collected a few more points with a layup by
sophomore Simone Ruedin and a free basket by Williamson in the middle of the
Kelsie Rozendaal combined for seven points and six rebounds
on the night, but was 2-for-5 on field goals. Williams and Stefanie Gilbreath
each had 10 buckets on the night, going 4-for-16 and 4-for-15, respectively.
Scouting UTEP:
The Miners go into the rivalry game with a 6-1 overall record - the team's only
loss is product of last week's I-10 rivalry game at the Pan American Center
when the Aggies knocked off the Miners 69-68. UTEP was led by Kristine Vitola
before injury took her off the hardwood. Currently, Kayla Thorton's 14.6 points
on average is tops for the Miners with 102 on the season. She has started each
of UTEP's seven games and has 57 rebounds. Anete Steinberga is not far behind
with her 13.9 point average on the season. She is a treat at the line, shooting
73.1 percent. Last season, the Miners finished with a 29-4 overall record and
earned a berth to the NCAA tournament.
Series History Versus
the Miners: The Wednesday game marks the 82nd meeting between the I-10
rivals. UTEP and NM State first met in 1973 with a 58-37 win for the Aggies
during their inaugural season. More recently, NM State was swept during the
2011-12 season by the Miners. Taking a 76-72 win in overtime in Las Cruces,
UTEP prevailed at home with a much larger margin of 63-27 over NM State. The 27
points for NM State tied for the fewest points scored by an Aggie team in
program history. (versus New Mexico 12/21/04) All time, NM State holds a 49-32
record over the Miners.
** UTEP's program did not officially begin until 1974-75.
Trakh Signs Five to
NLI: Head coach Mark Trakh announces that five high school players have
signed National Letters of Intent to join the Aggies in the fall of 2013. Trakh
is in his second season with NM State and has led the Aggies to a 1-0 start to

Trakh: Head coach Mark Trakh brings on a slew of newcomers for the 2012-13
campaign. Among the new Aggies are transfers Stefanie Gilbreath and Denesia
Williamson. Gilbreath joins the Aggie squad after spending four seasons with
USC. Gilbreath sat out three seasons with the Trojans due to knee injuries, but
played in each of USC's 30 games in 2011-12. Williamson wears the Crimson after
one season with University of San Diego. The 5-6 guard averaged 5.1 points, 1.4
assists and 1.1 rebounds per game with the Toreros.
Along with the two transfers, Trakh also adds five other
players to the roster. Las Cruces native, Elena Holguin, comes in after
redshirting her freshman season. Three-point threat, Alexis Nelson, joins the
Aggies after breaking the single-season record for three pointers with 60
during her senior campaign at Aurora High School in Aurora, Ill. Abby Scott

eighth and ninth in their respective preseason polls, and senior guard Stefanie
Gilbreath was named an All-WAC preseason pick.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Many of you have asked about Chanticleer, the rowdy rooster who showed up one day at the Ponderosa. (That's what Widdle calls the homeplace.)
He's fine, but he's no longer Chanticleer. During my boring, English-major explanation about Chaucer and the history behind the name, Widdle's eyes glazed over. Then he gave me his patented "My wife always brings the crazy" look and said: "I call him Roy."
Widdle bought a bag of chicken scratch at the feed store, and Roy has settled in. He disappears sometimes (more on that later), but when in residence he hangs out 'neath the old oak tree or under a gigantic rosebush by the picket gate.
As large as he is, Roy can be surprisingly hard to see, even with his giant red comb and green tail feathers. When he startles me I drop groceries and library books. When I startle him he flaps his wings and poops, which doesn't help my self-esteem.
Widdle and I keep the scratch on the side porch and alternate feeding Roy in the unfenced yard twice a day. Roy may have a soybean-sized brain, but he quickly figured out that food comes from the porch attached to the house where the two-legged creatures live.
One morning last week, Widdle let Nicky, aka Babygirl, out the porch door to relieve herself in the clover patch. (She gets unsupervised potty breaks because in eight years she's never left the yard.)
I was still sleeping blissfully when Widdle walked in our bedroom cackling. (You knew I had to do that sooner or later, right?) "I just looked out to check on Nicky and Roy has her hemmed up on the porch!" he blurted.
I shot upright and screamed, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!" As I staggered raving towards the door, Widdle began gently herding me in circles back to bed.
"Calm down, I'll handle it," he said. Which meant he let Nicky in and fed her sliced turkey until Roy gave up and wandered off.
In just a few weeks, Roy has become a fixture at our house. He comes a bit closer to us every day. And each time Nicky chases him, they both go a little slower. It's hilarious—these days she strolls after him and he just ambles away looking bored. They'll be sharing acorns before it's over.
We like having Roy around. He eats lots of bugs and has quite the personality. But here's the thing: Roy may be running a con.
Last Sunday, during the "joys and concerns" segment of the service at our church, I raised my hand to speak. Normally I don't open my mouth, but this was at 8:30 a.m. so I wasn't fully awake.
When the pastor said, "What is your joy?" I replied, "We have a rooster." I said a few more words about Roy--and here's the great thing about life in the country: Everyone smiled and nodded. No-one said, "That's silly," or "Say what?" Country people know about roosters—and, it turns out, Roy in particular.
One lady, a longtime member, said, "That rooster shows up at my house all the time. He comes through the woods." A man said, "He comes by my place, too."
Roy was looking for a better deal!
Widdle turned as red as a Roy's comb, and fowl jealousy flew through me. I wanted to cry, "He's MY rooster!" but Widdle's elbow was in my ribs.
So here I am, middle-aged and worrying about mortality and mortgages, salvation and the stock market… and my rooster is running around on me. That's nothing to crow about.
Julie R. Smith, who plans to follow Roy this week, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Daniel Straus vs. Pat Curran III headlines Bellator 112, War Machine returns
Straus (22-4 MMA, 8-1 BMMA), Bellator MMAs reigning featherweight champion, will immediately rematch ex-titleholder Curran (19-5 MMA, 9-2 BMMA) in a rubber match in the headliner of Bellator 112 on March 14.
Bellator officials today announced the fight and event, which takes place at Horseshoe Hammond Casino in Hammond, Ind. The main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.
Bellator officials are invoking their championship rematch clause, which allows them to book rematches (instead of waiting for the losing fighter to win another tournament) when they deem it appropriate. Straus recently won a clear-cut unanimous decision at Bellator 106, though the series is now tied 1-1 since Curran won their first meeting via knockout in 2009.
Daniel Straus and Pat Curran are two of the best featherweights on the planet and deserve every ounce and praise and recognition they receive, Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. Our featherweight division continues to be the deepest and strongest featherweight division in MMA, and Im very excited to have this title fight headline a huge night of fights on March 14 from The Horseshoe Hammond.
