Thankfully, the Bull doesn't mind working hard for the good things in life since comfort is worth its price. That's not to say that Taureans don't get a charge from a sunset, a juicy grapefruit, and a good book as well. It's just that shiny new cars are so pretty, and they run like a dream, too, which is exactly what the practical Bull wants. As an Earth Sign, Taureans also enjoy owning a piece of the Earth, so real estate makes for a particularly attractive investment for these folks. It's also a great way to take care of the ones they love.
Taureans have a wonderful ability to keep their eyes on the prize, which means that they will slowly and steadily get the things they want. The Bull loves everything about money -- its color, feel, and smell -- and also feels entitled to it! This comfort level around money helps to make them very good with it. Bulls don't tend to overspend, preferring the security which a stash of money brings. Liking security in general (a partner, their own home), Taureans aren't likely to make rash financial decisions that will cause them to lose their treasure trove.
Tangible assets are best where Taureans are concerned, things which they can see, feel, and touch. Consequently, antiques and real estate are far more appealing than stocks and bonds. Bulls are often long-term investors as well, since they like both making and keeping money. What does the lusty Bull love most in life? Food, sex, and money, although not necessarily in that order!
The Bull is a master at making deliberate decisions where money is concerned, which means that bills will be paid on time and accounts are always in order. That old maxim 'neither a borrower nor a lender be' fits the strong and capable Bull to a Taurean T.

A so-called "smart diaper" claims to help monitor your baby's health.
It's called the Smart Diaper, its digital and conceived and designed to track a baby's health.
The diapers have patches in front with colored squares. The squares change when reacting to different compounds found in baby urine like water content, protein and bacteria.
Compounds that can be used to identify health issues such as urinary tract infections, proper hydration and kidney disease. It was created by one New York couple Yaroslav Faybishenko and his wife Jennie. Fox 5 spoke to the couple by phone.
"We could use special engineered diapers and require data before the visible symptoms set in and to try to understand the onset of any chronic conditions before simply before the symptoms are visible," said Yaroslav Faybishenko, inventor of "Smart Diaper."
The diaper comes with a smartphone app that will scan the patch then send that information to a doctor.
Dori Anchin is a pediatrician with Children's and Women's Physicians of Westchester. She worries that urine tests aren't the proper way to screen for what the smart diaper promises to identify.
"Dehydration, again what they're marketing this product towards the best way to assess for that is clinically in your office, taking a history and doing a physical examination on the patient and for urinary tract infection," said Dr. Dori Anchin, pediatrician. "Again, there are many false positives and many false negatives. It's not a good way to screen for UTI."
The diaper has yet to get FDA approval but its makers believe it will be a game changer. However, some parents Fox 5 spoke to worry it will instead lead to lazy parenting.
"When it comes to the health of my baby, I go on instinct and I call the doctor," said one father.
"I don't know, they seem a little hi-tech for me," said one mother.

Hi Jean----I added the pic for you.
To get your lo to show up
Go to the page where your full size layout is -
Right Click on the layout and go to properties
Copy the Address (url)
come back to the forum thread where you want to post the layout
click on the little yellow mountain looking box above and paste the address url you just copied into the box that pops up. (Make sure you erase the http:// that is in the box when you open it.)
Tell it OK, and your lo should show up!
There's a great Video Tutorial that shows you these steps probably better than I typed it out!
Thanks, Cathy. I just discovered the video and was coming back here to do it but you beat me to it.
I also see my description showed up in the gallery so thank you for that, as well. You're an angel! (they need to add an angel smilie, lol!)
You are very welcome Jean!
btw....I have been called lots of things, but Angel was never one of them, ROFL!
Amazing job with Tricia's kit everyone! Loving the layouts so far.
Here is my Round 3 layout.I really got into this one. Lots of fun to play with.
Dancing puts a smile in your feet.
Thanks once again to Tricia from Soul 2 Seoul Scraps for designing this bundle for us to play with this round.
Here is my page: My Main Guys
I tried so hard not to see anyone's layouts before I finished mine...but they kept popping up in FB...so I did get a sneak peak at a couple of them!!! LOL :)
They are gorgeous.......now I'm off to the gallery to see them all and leave some love. Good luck everyone.
such awesome layouts!! I have had a couple of days not being able to be on the computer so enjoying all of them now!
Yeah, I finally got mine done ... wasn't sure if I'd finish or not ... a good friend of Mike and I had a stroke Thursday evening and was transferred to a hospice facility during the night. Have spent a lot of time there with his wife over the last couple of days.
The gallery looks awesome, hopefully I'll have a little time later today to comment on LO's.
Tricia, thank-you for the use of your wonderful kit!!!

Publication: The Day
Norwich - The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments responded Wednesday to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed car tax exemption in a letter stating the proposal would have a "significant" impact on towns and cities.
In his two-year budget, the governor proposed eliminating the car tax on vehicles valued at less than $28,500.
Earlier this month, Malloy sent a letter to municipal leaders asking them to partner with him on the budget changes and stating that "tangible relief to our middle class" was a budget priority.
Malloy said, among other points, that elimination of the car tax would help eliminate work for towns in assessment and collections. He also said the vehicle tax, with its associated collection costs and payment delinquencies, represents a "small portion of the tax base in most communities."
In its Feb. 20 letter to Malloy, the regional planning agency supported the governor's call for tax reform but argued against the proposed vehicle tax exemption as a solution. The letter stated that until a new taxation system is developed, municipalities depend on car and property taxes.
SCCOG's letter argues that, under the current proposal, municipalities would still have to evaluate all vehicles to determine which are exempt, requiring equal work but receiving "far less revenue for the effort."
In addition, SCCOG argued, the car tax exemption would hinder towns' abilities to offer incentives to attract volunteer firefighters. The letter stated many of the young firefighters don't yet own a house and therefore don't qualify for the incentive of property tax exemption, so the car exemption is the only financial incentive for them.
The letter said the elimination of the vehicle tax would significantly impact towns.
"If we lose our ability to collect motor vehicle taxes, we will have to either raise taxes, cut services, or a combination of both," SCCOG's letter to Malloy states. "Many of our towns simply will not accept any increase in taxes, which means there will be less teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other critical employees to deliver services."
The regional agency's letter said the municipal leaders want to work for local tax reform and asked the governor for ways to begin the dialogue. "We stand ready to work with you and other officials to craft meaningful change in the manner we tax at the local level and to ensure that any change be fair, equitable, and not simply shift the tax burden from one level of government to another."
The SCCOG chairman, East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica, and the legislative committee chairman, Colchester First Selectman Gregg Schuster, signed the letter.

64-year-old Jessie Clarke is recovering after being mauled by two dogs Tuesday on Detroit's east side. She suffered deep wounds to her head and neck.
"We'll take all the prayers we can get. She's in stable condition," said Anthony Clarke, the victim's son.
Neighbors tried to get the dogs away from her by beating them with sticks, but the dogs wouldn't stop. Dante Dasaro with Detroit Dog Rescue said that could have made the attack worse."To beat a dog with a stick when it's aggressively attacking something, you're raising its energy level. It's going to get him to be even more aggressive. It's the fight, it's the challenge," he explained.The mauling continued until an off-duty police officer driving by the bloody scene saw what was happening. He pulled out his weapon and fired two shots at a brown dog causing it to back off, but he was forced to fire at a white dog three times before it finally released and ran into the vacant Cleveland Intermediate High School across the street.
Neighbors described the dogs as pit bulls.18 hours after the attack, the white dog was found alive at the school where neighbors complain construction workers would leave the vicious dogs overnight to protect the building from scrappers. One of the construction workers told Fox 2's Taryn Asher the dogs that guard the school are not the same dogs that attacked Clarke.
Stray dogs have plagued Detroit for years. Dasaro said residents need to know what to do to protect themselves such as walking in groups, not making eye contact with aggressive dogs and staying calm."Keep your hands and your body tight. If you fall to the ground, role in a ball [and] cover your face and neck. Dogs will go for inner arms or any limb that's out. It will go for the groin or the neck area. Stay calm, and don't move. If you move, you raise that dog's aggression level, and it wants to keep coming at you just like it would its prey," he explained.
Detroit Animal Control provided Fox 2 with the following statement:
"Preliminary evidence suggests that the two dogs that attacked the citizen yesterday [Tuesday] were not strays. There is an ongoing investigation underway to determine ownership of the dogs that were responsible for the attack. A police officer shot and killed one of the dogs; the other was caught by Detroit Animal Control today [Wednesday] and is being kept at the Detroit Animal Control Shelter, in compliance with State rabies quarantine law."

I am dense today....what does sch mean?
Praying for you and baby Mocha. I hope your chillaxing day with your feet up yields less worrisome cramps and spotting.
Meg (30), DH (40) & the 4 J's (Almost 7, 5, 3.5, 21 months)
Kelly, I'm praying for you. When I read your post I wondered if your still taking the baby aspirin? I have a friend who was told to discontinue baby aspirin because her Dr thought she was bleeding because of irritation caused from progesterone, baby aspirin, and dtd. He said cervix was sensitive and susceptible to bleeding after dtd, which most of us know, but he thought her bleeding was more than normal because of the baby aspirin. Her bleeding did stop and she had a healthy baby boy. Questionable if that was the cause and I would not go off the baby aspirin without talking to the Dr but just a thought. I think I'd rather go without dtd.hehehe Hope resting helps.
Dorcas and Ali...that is so encouraging! Really hoping this resolves soon!!
Erica...I'll ask my dr about that specifically tomorrow! Haha, yeah, I can't say I'm unhappy about "pelvic rest"...not such a bad thing having an excuse to avoid dtd since I'm definitely not in the mood at this point .
I was reading on sch and natural remedies...going to add some extra vit E and start taking my calcium supps again. I'm getting in the jacuzzi tub with epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and lavender oil shortly (lol, no hot water currently...one of the plights of an 11 person household )...it can't hurt and might help. If nothing else it'll be a stress buster for sure .
Also, what about switching to oral progesterone? I know you mentioned irritation. I used the suppositories with Elliot but did oral with Simon and now Gideon. Perhaps that's a move you can make to get you through the next couple of weeks. Of course, I know you'll do anything for this LO!! ;)
Dorcas...I can try switching to taking the progesterone orally . The reason I started using it vag is because it made me extremely dizzy, but maybe it would be a nonissue if I took it at night ?
I had another pinkish brown gush last night, but just spotting brown this morning...baby sounds great so even though it's alarming I'm starting to feel better about it. If Mocha isn't stressed than I guess I shouldn't be either .
I know that it's worrisome, try to remember though that this is around the time that the corpus leutem is giving way to the placenta, there may be some hormonal tug of war going on while they're figuring out what's what.
I'm glad you have the doppler too!!
Thank you ladies !!!!!!
I talked with the nurse at my OB's and she said to take tylenol for the irritation (my uterus has a bruised feeling...not crampy, just sore), pelvic rest until my appt on the 19th, and to stay on the aspirin. She said I didn't need to make any changes to my progesterone dose. She said nothing I'm doing or not doing is causing the bleeding, it's just that sch .
So, I'm staying the course for now and looking forward to my appt in 3wks. I'm sure they'll do an u/s to check on the sch for me since they know I'm worried about it. I can't wait to see Mocha again !!
Oh and the other thing the nurse said was to drink at least 2L of water every day . I have a 20oz "blender bottle" I've been filling 3x/d which isn't quite 2L, but oh my word, I don't think I can possibly drink anymore fluid...I'm already in the bathroom every 15-30mins as it is not to mention it would just make me feel sick . I try to stick to the 1/2 your body weight in ounces rule which for me would be 55oz so 60oz is sufficient imo .
Glad the babe is doing well! And you are almost 12 weeks!
Miss T (10.17.2008) Miss A(06.30.2012) Flipper #3 due 06.2014Follow my blog on Facebook
As of tomorrow I'll have less than 200 days left, wooohoooooo !!!!!!!
I'm wondering if my sch bled itself out because for the first time today I'm feeling zero irritation and no low back pain! I have had an achy pain, like a bruise, in my uterus and a low backache since 4wks, but today, for the first time, it feels totally normal . Baby sounded perfect this morning (haha and my friend m/s was there bright and early to bring me reassurance that all is well ) so maybe the rest of my pg will be uneventful...how awesome would that be !!!
Haha, and this is probably silly, but confession: diaper cream has been working wonders for the external irritation after dtd the other day . I tried to think of something that might be soothing and because ds gets a lot of diaper rashes due to food intolerances I have a lot of zinc oxide diaper cream on hand so I thought, why not, if it's safe for a newborn it should be safe for mom, right. So ya, I went for it and it totally worked! Desperate times, desperate measures, people
I have issues with diarrhea...and have for years...my gallbladder was taken out when I was 15...and occasionally when it gets bad...I use diaper rash ointment to help with the soreness....I have been doing this for years, luckily I don't have to use it often....
Less than 200 days to go, wooot!!!!!!
I spoke too soon yesterday, low back and pelvic pain started up again just before bed and I had more bleeding around 4am, but red this time (back to brown spotting now)...this pg is really testing the limits of my sanity ! I am seriously nervous to even sneeze ! Baby sounds great though...praise God !!!
Although I've never had bleeding in pg and had it end well, I've also never had bleeding this late into the 1st tri or any bleeding at all in the 2nd tri, so I'm going with different is good??
My appt with the genetic counselor is tomorrow at 10am...I'm not sure if they'll be doing anything specific (u/s, b/w, etc...) or if it's just a consultation, but maybe they'll check on the sch for me...won't hurt to ask anyway. It's a 40-45min drive there (probably longer since I'll be hitting the morning commute on the expressway which is always crawling) so I might as well make the most of it .
I'm thinking about telling my oldest 3 kids that I'm pg and needing to limit my activities for a few weeks...I really think they'd amp up their helpfulness if I told them, lol, or at least be more understanding because right now I'm sure it seems like I'm just being lazy (they knew I felt unwell over the weekend, but I was also having a hard time with asthma/allergies so they are associating it with that). LOL, not that they haven't been duly compensated (mom guilt)...been a lot more generous with treats, computer/tv time, and out right paying them extra to do "the hard jobs" . They have chores and they get an allowance so all the work and compensation is in addition to that.
Anyway, just thinking out loud .
I would think telling the older kids is okay this point..... They will understand, plus the motivation boost to help out is really needed for you right now.
I'm baffled that you are still having bleeding issues. I am just sooooo happy mocha is doing wonderful!
Yay for under 200 days!!
The bleeding is definitely confusing, I'm so glad you're able to check on the LO!
Not sure if you're taking a poll, I would encourage telling at least one of older kids. Some extra help and someone besides your DH that knows will give you some breathing room--it's hard to keep it to yourself especially when you're not feeling well.
Well, I told my 3 oldest (DD is almost 18, DS is 16.5, and DD is almost 15) and they were happy...gave me hugs ! I told them I was having some bleeding though and needed to take it easy, lol, and that I haven't just been being lazy . They said they were wondering what was up because I'm usually such a neat-freak and the house is definitely nowhere near my standards (and neither is my younger kids' hygiene ...I'm usually a stickler about brushing teeth, making sure everyone is clean before bed, etc...).
Anyway, it went great and they're definitely kickin' it up a notch...we deemed it a "cleaning day" today and they worked it out for tomorrow so my oldest dd can drive me to my appt . It feels good to be "out" with them .
Eta...the bleeding is frustrating and I've heard sch usually resolve by 20wks so I guess it's still within the norm. If it was *just* bleeding I guess I wouldn't be as worried, but this backache and pelvic achiness worries me. All of my m/c start with a constant low backache like this one, but they never last this long...usually I started bleeding and cramping within a matter of hours after the backache starts and I've never had constant pain like this with any of my pgs . Knowing baby is fine is making a world of difference, but knowing her life is at stake is agonizing ...this isn't a blighted ovum...there's just so much to lose this time.

A friend of ours needs a new stove. But they can't afford much: around $500 is their price range. From what they've learned thus far, Frigidaire and Kenmore are about what they can afford unless they can get a good deal on a better brand in a scratch n' dent situation. In the meantime, they asked my opinion on those two brands.
Kenmore, best I know, is now made by Whirlpool and I have virtually no experience with any of their modern appliances. Frigidaire, on the other hand, is the brand I've said I would never buy again. We had the crappiest dishwasher in our last house, and have the top of the line Frigidaire W/D set now--which I hate. I use a Frigidaire stove occasionally when cooking in our neighborhood clubhouse, and though it actually gets very little use there, it's a real POS--one small burner turns itself on while cooking, and the two big burners do not heat evenly or equally well.
Just based on those things I'd reccomend the Whirlpool/Kenmore, but for all I know those aren't any better. Any know more than I do, or would you reccomend something else to my friends?

After a year without one, Chicago finally has a new, permanent chief federal prosecutor.
A chief judge told lawyers at an unrelated status hearing Wednesday he'd just sworn in 47-year-old Zachary Fardon as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The prosecutor's office soon after confirmed that.
Fardon once worked as an assistant prosecutor in the same office. And he alluded to that fact in a brief written statement Wednesday, saying he feels like he's "back home."
Fardon helped convict former Illinois Gov. George Ryan in 2006. He left a private Chicago law firm to take up his new, high-profile post where he now oversees around 300 employees.
He succeeds Patrick Fitzgerald, who resigned last year to enter private practice himself. Gary Shapiro served as interim U.S. Attorney.

text: Yup, same here, Erin. I just explain it like the mama's egg and the daddy's sperm join inside the mama and the baby grows. Savana did ask how the sperm gets inside the mama and I just said I would explain that to her when she was a little older. Then of course they watched Sawyer being born so get all that and it's no big deal to them at all. It makes other people in my family uncomfortable (including dbf) when they talk about Sawyer coming out of my vagina but oh well!

Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are episodes of constant aching, tightness, pressure, and pain around the forehead, temples, or back of the head and neck. Symptoms usually occur on both sides of the head rather than just one side.
Tension headaches usually do not stop a person from doing his or her regular activities. These headaches usually do not cause nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to both light and noise.
A tension headache can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. Some people experience chronic tension headaches, which means they have a headache on 15 or more days a month.
The cause of tension headaches is not clear. Experts believe there may be more than one factor that causes tension headaches. In the past, doctors believed that tension or spasms in the muscles of the neck, face, jaw, head, or scalp played a role. Now they think a change in brain chemicals may also help cause tension headaches.
Treatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Aspirin should not be given to anyone age 20 years or younger because it has been linked to Reye syndrome, a rare but serious disease that most often affects children. Prescription medicines, such as antidepressants, may be needed to help prevent tension headaches. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may reduce or prevent tension headaches.

Kwame Kilpatrick did plenty of damage when he was mayor of Detroit. He left the city broke. Progress all but halted during the text message scandal, and all that loot he took, well, that sent its own message.
"When I take people out, I don't let people pay for my meals -- breakfast, lunch, dinner, nothing," said Mayor Dave Bing.
The current mayor didn't witness a minute of testimony in the Kilpatrick incorporated trial, but he heard enough to be concerned about the stain Kilpatrick left on his city.
"Anytime that the public looses its trust in the leaders of the city, you can only go downhill," Bing said.
Defense attorneys argued in federal court that it was not uncommon for people to lavish gifts and trips on the mayor of Detroit. Sitting five blocks away at Kilpatrick's old desk, Bing said that is just not so.
"I doubt very seriously if the Archer administration worked that way, and this administration doesn't work that way," said Bing.
If we learned anything from the Kilpatrick trial, it's what can happen in city hall when the boss' greed comes before the people's need.
"It's a significant amount of evidence that's been brought to light that suggests probably that there's a lot more out there of this culture of pay-to-play in the city," said Jocelyn Benson with the Detroit Board of Ethics. "That essentially if you wanted to get anything done, if you wanted to influence legislative process, it comes with a cost."
So what is being done to make sure this all doesn't happen again?
"Nobody's talking about it. It's not on the radar," said Bankole Thompson, editor of the Detroit-based Michigan Chronicle. "This is something that needs to be at the forefront of conversations about where Detroit goes from now."
Sadly, we've been here before. Hazen Pingree cleaned up Detroit at the turn of the last century, but his efforts were short lived.
"Probably one of the biggest scandals in Detroit history was in the late 1930s," said Thomas Klug with the Institute of Detroit Studies at Marygrove College.
Scores of officials, including Mayor Richard Reading, were convicted of public corruption. Reform efforts, if there were any, didn't make big headlines.
What was the response when people learned what was really going on?
"I don't think there was any change fundamentally in the system," Klug said.
We called some city council members for comment, but even reformers like Gary Brown and James Tate declined to speak with us. They said they wanted to wait for the verdict or were too busy. Yet the council's actions have already spoken loudly.
"We should be instituting reforms, implementing reforms, much like the Charter Commission tried to do several years ago, but instead the city council is doing the opposite," said Benson.
The city's Board of Ethics ruled that city council members can't take gifts.
"Previously, the charter said the city council could not accept gifts, and we reinforced that with our own interpretation and ruling. The city council simply put a ballot initiative on the ballot to change that opinion," Benson said.
Thompson said that vote sent the wrong message to citizens, and Bing agrees.
"To have city council vote against it clearly really doesn't make sense. It shows that they want to go the other side instead of the straight and narrow path," said Thompson.
"You've got to tighten the screws down all the way so people don't believe that this is going to continue to happen," Bing said.
The mayor told us he has instituted his own reforms by cleaning up the city's purchasing procedures, but those efforts haven't made a blip on the city's radar.
"If anyone's saying it, then they need to be saying it louder," said Benson.
In a city where history has a tendency to repeat, this could mean trouble, again.
"What does this say to the people of Detroit if nobody's talking about it in city hall?" I asked Thompson.
"We're doing the same thing all over again. I think if we want to see change, if we want to upgrade the standard of leadership, I think this is part of the conversation," he said.
