Pay Per Click or PPC advertising is the fastest growing section of the online marketing and advertising industry. Google leads the way with a controlling share of at least 70% of the market.
Pay-per-click (PPC) marketing is a complex, collaborative, and iterative process which revolves around keywords and search behaviour. In-depth keyword research, analysis, grouping, split
testing and thorough organization is absolutely key to creating winning pay per click advertising campaigns for multiple search engines.
Search engines are relevance engines which aim to deliver the best content they can to the end user. Search engines reward PPC advertisers who can use effective keywords to create well organized, intelligently targeted pay-per-click campaigns.
When done correctly and in combination with a good landing page design and seo this will result in a much lower cost-per-click meaning get more ads and get more visitors for your budget.
We help your potential customers find exactly what they are looking for, so when your potential customers search for your products or services, you're site is there to greet them.
Search engine optimization (SEO Cardiff) is used for lead and sale generation. This is achieved through the analysis of search engine search terms & behaviours that directly relate to the products or services offered by a website.
At Netrix we believe in providing you with a Results Driven SEO Service. This involves monitoring & recording all necessary changes to
to your website & any external references pointing to it. We aim to get you exactly where you want to be and will provide you with regular reports to keep you up to date with our progress.

towards a greater understanding of search engine optimisation as a whole. So many businesses fall foul of badly done search engine optimisation that we really do believe the best approach is through reporting and proper education.
Get in touch with us now for more information and pricing and take a look at our small business seo services for a great deal.
Web Design matters! There's no point in having a fantastic looking website designed that can't be found or one that creates difficulties for your potential customers to browse.

managed web design, ecommerce web design & conversion optimisation. Working closely with clients, our team prides itself on the ability to create websites that work for you, work for your customers and work for the search engines.
We understand conversion rate optimisation (CRO), usability testing & competitor analysis, which we integrate into your website from the outset.
Good web design is fine, but web design driven by in-depth knowledge of user behaviour is so much better! Good web practices should always be adhered to properly.

No experience with progesterone, but I hope it's implantation spotting!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Ok... so today I have been having weird feelings in my right boob. TMI alert... not soreness really but more like it is filling up with milk, like when I BF'ed DS?? Am I completely nuts??? Thursday can't get here fast enough!!!
Come on, Thursday!!!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Sorry ladies that I have been MIA lately. My sister had her baby last week so I haven't been around the computer much. She is a single mom so she only had me and my parents there to help out.
Katie I can't wait to see what happens on Thursday! Been thinking and praying for you!
I called my doc and he told me he didn't want to give me provera but to go ahead and start my nuva ring and use it like a regular cycle and after the 3 weeks is up, my period should come. So I guess we will see. If it doesn't come, I am going to be upset. I have to take a pregnancy test before I start it though. I HIGHLY doubt I am pregnant. Never gotten pregnant on my own so don't think it's just going to magically happen.
Sara, why didn't your doc want you to use Provera? I hope you get AF after using the NuvaRing! Congrats to your sister on her new LO
I am having some AF-like cramping today. No spotting or anything, but I don't know why else I would have cramps now (10dpiui). I used to always get AF around 10dpiui but that was without the HCG boost. If AF is going to come I just want her to get here so we can move on!
Thanks for the input and words of encouragement! I just spotted yesterday (tmi - only brown, and I did realize I did a cervix check the night before, so maybe I just irritated it?). Anyway, no spotting so far today! So fingers crossed! I will just keep taking the progesterone (I made a mistake on the pp - 200mg 2x/day) until AF shows or I get a bfp.
I haven't had a chance to read all of the previous posts to catch up on where everyone else is at, otherwise I'd though in my two cents Until I get a chance, good luck to all!!
Me - Jen 28, DH - Tom 28, DD - Quinn Eliana 10/9/08, DD Kennedy Gwen 08/07/10
Sorry you are having cramping today. I know that when I got pregnant with Kaylee, I could have sworn that AF was coming. I even told DH that I thought we were out and a few days later, I got my BFP! Hoping the same happens for you!!
Jen_ I'm glad your spotting has stopped. I'm hoping it is good sign for you. Good Luck!
Katie_ How is the cramping? I can't wait until tomorrow. I want to see a BFP for you. I would like for us all to exit this room really soon. Like within the next 2wks. Wouldn't it be great to be in a DD together(all of us)?
Sara_ I hope that plan works for you, I would be upset if it didn't cause me to start.
AFM_ It was a bad yesterday. DH did not get that job and we found out insurance will not cover Orevdril (sp?) for low testestrone. Said that is not a FDA recommended usage for the medicine. So have to wait until we can afford it for DH to start his treatment. $400 is a lot of money at any point but right now it mights at well be a million. We are both job hunting so hopefully something will happen soon. Oh as for 2ww, I now think its 1ww and I have no symptoms.
Sara, I hope AF starts on its own for you!
Auntmommy, I'm sorry your DH didn't get the job. Is is Ovidrel that he is supposed to use? I found the best price at Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy, I think it was around $70 for my injection. I don't know what his dose is, but it wouldn't hurt to call and get a quote!
AFM -- No cramping today! And no AF or even spotting yet. However - I have no pg symptoms either. WTH?? I would think I would have symptoms of some sort regardless, just so I could have something to overanalyze, lol! I am so nervous to test tomorrow but I am dying to know. Of course I will only be 12dpo so it could still be a bit early.
How are the other 2ww'ers doing? Anybody having any symptoms?
I don't think I am having symptoms. Earlier I thought I was peeing more often than usual, but now I'm not sure that's true. I'm peeing less than I was a few days ago. Of course, right now I REALLY have to pee so of course that must be a pg symptom!
The short answer is, I have nothing real to report. Just the stuff going on in my head.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'll wait till I'm late, then test is AF doesn't show.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Auntmommy - sorry to hear about the job situation I hope your 1ww goes quickly and ends well!
AFM - I'm fairly certain af showed this morning. Red and some actual flow. It tapered off as the day progressed...my body loves to mess with my head. I'm counting myself out this cycle and looking forward to my first RE appt next Wed. I even went and bought a BBT thermometer assuming that's the first thing the RE will ask about.
I also heard from my sister today that she is pregnant. I keep expecting myself to be bitter, but I'm absolutely not (hooray, I'm not a bad person!)! I'm super excited to be an aunt and for my DDs to have their first cousin. I won't say I wouldn't love to join her though
Hope everyone's week is going well!

Well it seems like we are all in the no symptoms boat together. I'm fine if its not this month for me. To much going on and this refocusing thing as been good for me. My week has gotten worse, I lost my 27 year old cousin who was born with spina bifida. I had just found out last week she had a hole in her heart and had planned to go see her this weekend when I was in her town for a family reunion. So sad But have wonderful memories.
Jen_ Congrats on becoming an Aunt that is so exciting.I was never upset or bitter when my sisters and sister-in-law became pregnant. I was happy for them and I love my nieces and nephews. Our day will come and we can join them. I hope you get to join her really soon. Sorry about AF.
Good luck to those in the two week wait! I don't have time to catch up but just wanted to say my US was today and I had one follie on the right but it was only 12mm. So repeat one on Monday. I was only day 11 so I am not too surprised but was hoping for more than one follie. I guess it only takes one good one so I am trying not to be disappointed. Will try to read back soon!
Grow, follie, grow!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Auntmommy -- so sorry to hear about your cousin. Thinking of you and your family.[/QUOTE]
Thank you. It will be a tough weekend but we will be together as a family with much love and support.
I'm so sorry about your cousin. I lost a cousin unexpectedly at 24. We were close as kids so it was really difficult. Having the whole family together helped.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Still no AF. I have never had a cycle that went this long with no AF and no BFP. Don't know what to think, but I am out of tests so I won't be testing for at least a couple days...
Who is next to test? I need to have someone to cheer on!!!
How many dpiui are you?
I will be testing probably on Wednesday. I wait a full two weeks and a day - lol!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Wow 2 weeks and 1 day -- you have a lot of willpower! Will be checking up on you on Wednesday!!! Lots of to you!!!
It's not willpower at all! It's just avoidance of the extreme letdown of the negative test. The longer I go without seeing a negative, the happier I am!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
So tomorrow will be 15dpiui. Still no signs of AF. Should I try testing again tomorrow?
Yes! Test tomorrow.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Aunt Mommy: So sorry to read about your cousin. Thoughts and prayers of comfort for your family!
Gwenn: Hope to see your BFP at 15dpo.....lol Will be stalking!
Kate: Sorry you got a BFN after that possible BFP but there is still hope with no AF yet....plus sounds like that progesterone is helping your LP! I would definitely test tomorrow!! Will be stalking you as well.
AFM...well I have been a little absent because of a crazy week complicated by my stupidity. On Monday I was in a hurry and shaved my legs without any water or shave cream and ended up giving myself a wicked cellulitis on my left calf. It got pretty bad and I had to go to urgent care for antibiotics. UGH.... it is still there but MUCH better. Will certainly never do that again! On the reproductive front I am just awaiting my next US on Monday...hope that darn follie is growing nice and big!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
So the follie was ready....he didn't tell me how big just said it was a go. Got my Hcg trigger in the office and IUI tomorrow. Then I go to the office on we'd for my injectables class....three times in one week I will be there...starting to feel like a second home..lol oh well at least I really like the office! I have a terrible headache..sometimes I get one around ovulation so I am gonna take advantage of nap time and rest myself.
How's everyone else doing?
Yellow_hope you are feeling better and that your IUI goes well. Good Luck!
Katie_ Sorry once again.
Gwenn_ Have you tested.
AFM_ Had a nice weekend with my family for the funeral and a family reunion that was already scheduled there. Feeling hormonal and waiting on af, she's not due for a couple more days so no testing and don't think I'm pregnant.

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (WJBK) -- It's video that is hard to watch as two clerks at a BP gas station at 18 Mile Road and Mound in Sterling Heights were forced onto the ground at gunpoint. It happened at 3:15 Friday afternoon. However, it wasn't the guns alone that had the victims yelling.Sterling Heights Police say William Bates and Kevin Wyatt are the two men accused of using a taser to get the victims on the ground, robbing them.
Click on the second video in the player above to see the raw surveillance video of the robbery. (WARNING: The video contains strong language)"Violence that you see in the station between the suspects towards the clerks, it's ... very unsettling," said Lieutenant Luke Riley with Sterling Heights Police.The unsettling robbery was just the start. The two suspects got away in a Crown Victoria. Emmanuel Brown is accused of being the getaway driver.The three men are now in jail. Riley said his officers deserve a lot of credit for making sure no one was hurt as they nabbed their guys."The pursuit went very well. Officers did exactly what they're supposed to, did a great job, and then once the suspects crashed and fled on foot, they again did a great job."The suspect's car crashed into a utility pole, then the men took off on foot. Officers with the help of canine nabbed all three."They're going to go to whatever means necessary to accomplish what they want to do," Riley said.The same determination from police that led them to their three suspects.The three men now face a laundry list of charges in this case, including resisting arrest, felony firearm and also armed robbery. Each of them are being held on $1 million bond.

Half of the NFL's 32 teams have reached the midway pole of the 2013 regular season, and the other half will hit that mark this weekend. With that being the case, here are 10 stats we find interesting thus far... 1. The single-season completion percentage record is still on track to be broken, but no longer by Peyton Manning. Believe it or not, Philip Rivers leads the league with a completion percentage of 73.9, which is nearly three points up on Manning. Rivers threw 48 interceptions the last three seasons but has only five this year and might record the most accurate campaign in NFL history. Mike McCoy is a genius. 2. Five quarterbacks are on pace to pass for more than 5,000 yards, which is something only six quarterbacks have accomplished in NFL history prior to this season. 3. Jake Locker and Andrew Luck might have only 39 career starts combined under their belt, but those two young quarterbacks have thrown just four interceptions on a combined 376 passes. They're r...

I could not follow the tutorial unfortunally, but I have this plugin to make things a little grungy ;-) (I also used it to make my background)
My layout
Great job on the photo, it really looks vintage!
Store | Gallery | Facebook Fan Page | Blog
thanks! *blushing* ;-)
Love Heritage pages. So glad to see this challenge.
I took a photo taken this May and changed it to black and white. Then did an enhancement on it to sharpen the contrast.
I chose Created by Jill's Changes Add-on kit as it has the deep red/burgandy and turquoise colors associated with the Southwest. The bare branch, pleated button and striped swirl were parts of the kit that really look like they belong in the SW. The font: Fletch Extended looks like many signs and labels you see here.
I did lightly re-color the white rose in the kit. I add a touch of the red-burgandy to it [at 30%] to give it a tea-dyed look.
Fantstic challenge and so much fun to do... Thanks for hosting.
Thank you for hosting this fantastic challenge, Christina! Unfortunately, I couldn't follow the tut in PSE either, so I hunted around a bit and found this really easy to follow tut: http://ldgsherar.deviantart.com/art/...l-Eng-77255924
Anyway, here's my page:
Andrea, thank you for the link to the tutorial.
I will try this!
I have to say Andrea, I played with the tutorial you found and loved it as well. I saved a copy for next time I want to do a layout and make it look vintage. Thank you.

Kane Zipperman's girlfriend cheated on him, but wants him back. His posting of their exchange is less communication and more a certain art. But is it real?
Nintendo didn't include the option for same-sex couples in bizarre sim Tomodachi Life, but there is a workaround -- of sorts.
Japanese game giant says it disappointed fans yet cannot backpedal on design and development choices.
"The relationship options in the game represent a playful alternate world rather than a real-life simulation," Nintendo says.
Instead of having to use your contact's name to send a text or place a call, use Google Now to set up contact relationships.
Oh, we all gossip about it when the happy couple isn't looking. They're a terrible match, we say. Now a free app lets us put our money where our mouths are.
A new survey shows that not only do 96 percent of respondents feel a closer connection to their partner when using Skype, but 29 percent have engaged in "naughty" calls.
Clues on Facebook can identify your significant other, researchers say, and whether the relationship is likely to last.
The company's executive chairman says that Apple and Google have conducted "lots and lots" of meetings.
Belongings are strewn on the curb. A woman appears to be loading them slowly into her trunk. A Street View driver captures it all, but what really happened?

"Star Trek Lives" was a common cry among Trekkers in the mid 1970's. At the time, it was more wishful thinking than fact.
Star Trek was on the air in syndication and Star Trek: The Animated Series had just finished a brief Saturday morning run on NBC. However, there were no immediate plans to relaunch Gene Roddenberry's beloved science-fiction series on television or film.
Those of us who grew up on Star Trek re-runs in those days could never have imagined that the series would spawn twelve major motion pictures and four additional television series.
There's no question that one of the reasons for Star Trek 's continued success is the tenacity of the show's fans. Trekkies, as fans are most commonly known, have been mocked and maligned as weirdos, nerds and space rangers. However, it has been their steadfast loyalty and love of Star Trek that has helped keep the show alive for nearly 50 years.
Nowhere is the dedication and determination of fans more evident than in the production of new Star Trek webisodes.
There have been a number of fan-produced webisodes based on Star Trek. Some have been quite good. Others not so much.
However, there are two groups currently creating new Star Trek adventures with an authenticity and level of detail that are beyond impressive.
Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase II began producing online webisodes in 2003. The project has been guided by the loving hand of James Cawley. He and other ardent fans contributed the time and funds to re-build sets from the original series.Computer modelers brought the U.S.S. Enterprise to life with stunning realism.
Cawley lived out his dream of playing his childhood hero, Captain Kirk. Other volunteer actors filled out the rest of the crew. They began telling stories from the last two years of the Enterprise's five year mission.
Their initial efforts were wobbly, but infused with an obvious love for Star Trek and superior special effects. As production continued, many of the show's original stars (George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols and others) began appearing in the webisodes. Some webisodes were written by published Star Trek authors, such as David Gerrold.
Cawley has recently doubled-down on the project. A major kickstarter campaign has yielded over $60,000 in pledged donations from other fans.
The U.S.S. Enterprise has been re-imagined and re-designed to reflect the ship as it would have appeared in the television sequel, " Star Trek: Phase II ". Plans for that show were scrapped in 1978 when Paramount decided instead to make " Star Trek: The Motion Picture ".
In an effort to bring more realism to the project, Cawley has surrendered the captain's chair to professional actor Brian J. Gross.
The troupe has just recently wrapped production on their latest webisode, " Mind Sifter ". The script is based on a very popular short story by Shirley S. Maiewski that was published in the 1976 paperback, " Star Trek: The New Voyages".
Kirk is captured by Klingons and subjected to their Mind-sifter device. In a deranged state, Kirk leaps through the Guardian of Forever and returns to Earth to find his love, Edith Keeler. However, Kirk overshoots his destination in time and winds up as an inmate in a 1950's mental hospital. He is eventually found and rescued by Captain Spock, who has refused to accept that Kirk is dead. It is a powerful story of the deep friendship between the two characters.
Two other fan groups, Star Trek Continues and Starship Farragut, partnered two years ago for another webisodes project based on the original series.
The association between the two groups has proven to be a great one. Star Trek Continues says it has "the most complete re-creation of the original series sound stage".
In addition to the incredible authenticity of the sets, Star Trek Continues boasts a powerful connection to the original series. Chris Doohan, the son of actor James Doohan, is literally filling his father's shoes by playing the role of Scotty. His interpretation of the beloved engineer is eerily and wonderfully faithful to his father's original portrayal.
You might also recognize Grant Imahara of Mythbusters in the role of Sulu.
Their first webisode, " Pilgrim of Eternity ", is a sequel to the original series episode, " Who Mourns for Adonais? " Actor Michael Forest was enlisted to reprise his role as Apollo.
Their most recent episode (below) takes place in the Terran Empire universe immediately following the events of one of Trek's most celebrated episodes, " Mirror, Mirror ".
These fan-based efforts prove that Star Trek does indeed still live.
And if these fan groups have anything to say about it, its likely Star Trek will continue to be alive and kicking for years to come.

Roger Ebert died on Thursday, just days after revealing that cancer had returned to his body, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
On Tuesday, the 70-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic wrote on his blog that he planned to "slow down" and take "a leave of presence."
"What in the world is a leave of presence?" he continued. "It means I am not going away. My intent is to continue to write selected reviews but to leave the rest to a talented team of writers handpicked and greatly admired by me."
Ebert is survived by his family and his words:
"No good film is too long and no bad movie is short enough."
"She fills my horizon, she is the great fact of my life, she has my love, she saved me from the fate of living out my life alone, which is where I seemed to be heading," he wrote about wife Chaz Hammelsmith.
"Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community."
"My newspaper job ... is my identity."
"Kindness covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."
"Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you."
"Years from now it is quite possible that 'Bonnie and Clyde' will be seen as the definitive film of the 1960s."
"Every great film should seem new every time you see it."
"No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out."
"To say that George Lucas cannot write a love scene is an understatement; greeting cards have expressed more passion."
"If you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didn't."
"I've been around a long time, and young men, if there is one thing I know, it is that the only way to kiss a girl for the first time is to look like you want to and intend to, and move in fast enough to seem eager but slow enough to give her a chance to say 'So anyway ...' and look up as if she's trying to remember your name."
"...thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies."

By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Six-year-old Julio Chavez died in a house fire on Detroit's southwest side. His four-year-old brother, Mike, is in critical condition.The boys were home alone asleep in an upstairs bedroom. The first call came in at 6:59 a.m. Five minutes later, two engines, a squad car and a chief officer arrived on the scene. They found the two boys and made an emergency run to Henry Ford Hospital, not to the burn unit at Children's Hospital where Julio was later transferred and died.In a rare news conference, Executive Fire Commissioner Don Austin defended his team."First of all, when you have a cardiac arrest, you respond to the nearest, appropriate medical facility," he said. "I don't know the victim's status. Most people die from a fire not from burns, but from smoke inhalation.""Squad Four immediately started CPR, loaded them into their squad vehicle," Austin added."We're the only city in the state that does not respond an EMS rig to every single fire," said retired EMS worker Mike O'Neill.Firefighters are not paramedics. They are required to have medical first responder training, but not all firefighters know CPR. Thankfully the guys who rescued the Chavez boys did, but they did not have oxygen tanks. A nearby EMS rig with more equipment and a medically trained crew requested to go to the fire, but dispatch said no, instead sending that unit to a back pain call. By the time they changed their minds it was too late. The kids were already en route to the hospital."Our guys are better trained. Our guys are ready to do it. We have the equipment. We have the manpower. We know what we're doing," O'Neill said."Our problem begins, obviously, at a shortage of resources, and the mayor's office, myself, we're working very diligently to try and come up with a funding source to augment our fleet," Austin said.With more than 130,000 calls a year and ten to twelve working units at any given time, it's no secret the resources are limited. Commissioner Austin says Detroiters are getting the best coverage available, but sometimes the best just isn't good enough.
It's important not to blame the firefighters. The crew that tried to save the six-year-old are heroes for their effort and there was no EMS on the scene.Now there are some jurisdiction issues with the unions, and a shortage of resources in Detroit only makes it harder and basically forces firefighters to need more medical training than they are required to have.QUESTION AND ANSWERMONICA GAYLE: Why didn't the EMS go on the inital call for that fire?MAURIELLE LUE: It's not protocol to send an EMS unit to every house fire in Detroit, and the first call that came in didn't indicate that there were people inside the home. Now the commissioner says that one minute later another call came in saying that there were children inside and EMS was immediately dispatched, but the closest unit was 14.8 miles away.

Relaxing Vine Lace
As other, more important project deadlines mounted a few weeks ago, I decided to cast on for some mindless knitting to help calm my nerves during a bought of insomnia. Some might find this a waste of already precious time; you know better, don't you?
As far as I am concerned, there is nothing quite like an easily memorized, repetitive pattern to cure insomnia.** Consequently, the body of this pullover knitted up in lightning speed; however, the sleeves languish partially finished as their master has recently rediscovered the merits of sleep.
The yarn is Harrisville Designs Shetland (in White), leftover from my Ivy League Vest last winter. The lace pattern is a 4-row repeat from Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns.
This is destined to become a scoopneck tunic with no waist shaping and as little sleeve shaping as possible, mostly because the combination of shaping and lace renders this no longer mindless. Perhaps that is a better reason for why the sleeves remain unknitted?
**Except when it doesn't, and the knitter is forced – forced! - to stay up late to knit obsessively on a project about which she cares nothing. Ahem.

You're lucky you can do lace when tired! I tend to get one stitch off in a repeat and then the whole thing is a shambles.
Your tunic is going to be gorgeous however, and i'm glad to hear you are sleeping again!
I love the pattern! Can't wait to see how it turns out~
That pattern is beautiful! I can't wait to see how it progresses.
i kind of like it without sleeves, though!
Elinor–I can't wait to see the finished product. I hope you'll write up the pattern…it's beautiful already.
Beautiful lace pattern. I think it looks good as a vest if you don't knit the sleeves. The chevron mittens are gorgeous!
Love the lace pattern. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Beautiful lace pattern. You are so inspiring!
i cannot wait to see this one done. get back to work missy!

A pair of osprey that made a nest on a power pole in Berlin Township,
near the Rockwood Landfill will be getting a new home thanks to crews
from DTE Energy.
On Wednesday workers began working to relocate the nest that was atop a power pole not far from the Fermi II nuclear plant.
In the late 1990's nesting ospreys, also known as the 'fish hawk,' were
nearly non-existent in southern Michigan. And while they are making a
comeback each nest is still very precious. "They're very attached to
their nests, to their young, they're very devoted parents. They're just
gorgeous birds," said Barb Jensen who is with a local osprey watch
group. The power pole that the pair is perched upon does not
even belong to the utility, but is maintained by the Rockwood Landfill
near Labo and Roberts roads. "We have had in the past where these nests
have actually caught fire. So what we're trying to prevent is that fire
or have something happen to the assets, the landfill, the lines or the
birds themselves" said Jason Cousino, DTE Field Safety Specialist.
has already performed two other successful osprey nest relocations in
Monroe County. They stepped in to help when Cousino found out about the
predicament. He says preserving wildlife is one of our greatest
responsibilities and in this case it hit home.
"We brought the
whole family down here. My son is 5-years-old and he already knows what
an osprey and a bald eagle is. I pulled up this morning and there's a
pheasant that ran in front of me, while there's two deer out in the
field. It's quiet, it's a great place to raise a family," Cousino said. The
nest is being moved to state land, roughly 1,300 feet from the
landfill. DTE crews are installing a pole onto which they'll attach a
platform, appropriately built by a local Eagle Scout. They'll then
transfer the nest material to the new home.
Jensen said, "It's
absolutely marvelous, they have been supportive of the birds in the
past. And they just continue their support. They're going to be helping
to sponsor actually a GPS transmitter this year so we can attach one to
one of our fledglings so that we can track it."
If you observe an osprey in southern Michigan, you're asked to report it to the DNR. The department is only collecting information about those osprey observed in the southern part of Lower Michigan.
to the Michigan DNR any information will be useful including location,
time, activity (flying, fishing, etc.), and markings. It is especially
important to note if the bird is banded and, if possible, the number on
the band.

My mom was there for Savana's, took care of Savana for Kai's. They both came out with perfect timing for her trip from wisconsin to hawaii.
I sure will miss her this time.
Y'all sound like y'all have wonderful mommas. I'm envious. My mom has never been motherly to me and I sure feel like I missed out on something there.
Oh and hey Janeen. I was wondering why you abandoned us in here...we've missed ya!
James was my moms 10th grandchild. She has never seen one of them be born though so that was important to me when James was born.
Unfortunately, we ended in a c-section so that still didn't happen. Here's to the next try!

Here's some pics from last night if anyone wants to take a gander.
Good. It's less work for me to stalk you then if we see you here, J!
My brother said, "Not to weird you out or anything but I think I could handle, like, holding your hand or whatever if you need me to." Though I think I'll pass on the offer, it means the world to me.
It's interesting how vastly different we can be in our preferences for who's there and who's not when we give birth. Both my father and brother were there and saw Sydney be born. My father even cut her cord.
You couldn't have paid me to allow my mother in the room though.
I'm frustrated. Since our dog bit Kai, I'm trying to figure out a way to find Koa a new home. I put an ad on craigslist with a rehoming fee but then spoke to the woman who helped us train him and she said she'd help us. She told me there are several puppy mills in our area (he's not fixed yet) and she'd stay away from craigslist. I trust her. She said she has several people in mind that are adult only households that would likely love to have our sweet dog. But no rehoming fee because they'll have to get him fixed. I'm fine with that. The always understood the rehoming fee on craigslist just to be some sort of semi futile grasp that you'd get someone who really wanted the dog because they are willing to pay.
So while on one hand dbf is being all sad and upset that we have to get rid of Koa because he loves him so much. And I can sympathize because I love Koa too but he bit my child. He needs to be a different, loving home. So it's become this whole vibe that I'm being the bad guy because I will not sway and I want to let our trainer help us rehome him.
On the other hand, he wants to "get some of the money back" we paid for Koa. Meaning, sell him on craigslist. How can he choose money over a guarantee that Koa goes to a good place? And at the same time make me feel guilty that I won't let Koa stay. It just makes no sense to me and it disturbs me.
I feel really alone with this process.

I nearly had a heart attack when the doctors office called about my urine sample that I had to take in today...thought they were going to say "you're pregnant."

Narrow your search
iPhone fans, you can still take advantage of carriers' hot deals, but see the new devices in person to ensure you're getting the right one, says CNET's Marguerite Reardon in this edition of Ask Maggie.
Brian Cooley discusses why wireless carriers are chomping at the bit to buy available TV broadcast spectrum in an auction set to happen mid-2015.
What do the Concorde, the Space Shuttle, an aircraft carrier, and a cruise missile submarine have in common? They're all part the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Those iconic vehicles, and many more, in our full tour.
It's getting cheaper and easier to own a smartphone, but is there a downside to breaking away from the Big Four?
The carrier is offering current customers -- and the people they bring over from the competition -- a year of unlimited LTE data for free.
Will my Verizon iPhone 5S work on AT&T? That's a question asked by one Ask Maggie reader confused by the puzzling state of device interoperability. This week's column tackles the issue.
Apple retail stores will begin offering the financing plans starting on August 20, according to employee training materials seen by 9to5 Mac.
Dan Hesse, stepping down as chief of the US's third-largest wireless carrier after seven years, helped clear up Sprint's baggage. But the company still lacks a key essential: new subscribers.
To get a glimpse of how speedy AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile's 4G LTE networks are, CNET carried out real-world data tests across these carriers using the LG G3 smartphone.
The sequel to last year's Butterfly S, the J Butterfly comes packing water-resistant features as well as dual cameras similar to the HTC One M8.

Mohop- Are you surprised that your question generated so much discussion?
Mohop- Are you surprised that your question generated so much discussion?
I haven't run percentages, but it seems to me like most people have found this to be a reasonable thing to request, although don't necessarily agree about what happens post-request.
I also agree that *some* of the dissent may be b/c of the religion issue, but only in the sense that the request may seem sanctimonious. In fact, I bet it would've stirred up a similiar (perhaps even more boisterous) reaction if the op was about a vegan who wanted no meat to be served. Underlying each request is the notion that the prohibited consumption is wrong, and that, I think, is what is liable to strike a nerve (who likes to feel judged negatively?)). I'll admit this was my initial reaction (although not the one I posted after reflection.) Having kids has turned me into a one-drink woman- but I do enjoy that one drink, and would prefer not being judged for that.
That said, I absolutely understand everyone who has posted about not wanting their children around drunk people. I couldn't agree more and have some cringe-worthy childhood memories. In fact, my MIL offered to host a party when we come home to visit for the first time this summer (since moving away in 2011). I instructed DH to decline b/c of the alcohol issue (mostly b/c he has twin sisters who drink too much). I know MIL well enough to know that suggesting a brunch would undoubtedly produce mimosas(!) and asking for no alcohol result in a disagreement and hurt feelings. OP's MIL seems different; so I'm sticking w/ it being okay to ask, but being open to not having the event if MIL is bothered by the request.
It is definitely interesting to see how different people react to the issue. Honestly, it never ever would have occurred to me that people would see this as trying to impose my religion on others. The other issue that I see people have with it, aside from the religious aspect of things, is that some people just don't like the idea of others having input into what people decide to do in their homes. I guess I just saw it as part of living in a family/community; that you want things to be comfortable for as many people as possible.
Thanks everyone for the responses and for staying nice!

Mom to two little girls (born 6/08 and 2/11) and another on the way.
And your example about your MIL's almost-party also I think demonstrates how important it is to take into consideration the family dynamic. In your situation, with your family dynamics, you knew that the best way to handle it was to avoid having the party at all (which I'm sure you did in a diplomatic, inoffensive way). In my situation, I feel like making a request isn't a big deal and not something that anyone would really think twice about. But, obviously, DH didn't think it was as simple a that. Ultimately, I made my case to DH, I will pray about it, and hope he makes the best decision, because I never really planned on dictating anything that everyone else was uncomfortable with.

Wow. I'm so sorry the other thread became so hostile. It was incredibly rude of them to say such things.
I don't see how serving something (or not) at a party is imposing your religious views on others. I get that perhaps there is an underlying morality of why alcohol is prohibited but really, it's just a few hour party. As a secular person I am tolerant of other's religions. I go to weddings in churches where there is prayer and communion served. What if the party were kosher? I don't see the difference at all. Again, it's a few hours! I don't understand the big deal.
Perhaps to ask your random Aunt Abigail who is throwing a party for her daughter's birthday not to serve alcohol is pushing it....but for a mother or MIL? I don't see that as being out of line especially since it's your party.
I haven't read all the posts in this thread so forgive me if I repeat what someone already said .
If I had a good relationship with the hostess and had a concern I would ask a question rather than make a statement...it's just more diplomatic that way, e.g., "Would you be hurt if I requested no alcohol be served or on premise at the party? I would understand if you're uncomfortable asking other people though and I understand that it is your home. You already know how we feel about alcohol and I'll respect whatever you choose to do. It means so much to us that you're doing this... (((hug)))...love you mom!".
And then respect what she chooses .
(((Hugs)))...thinking of you...not an easy situation!!
I'm in the minority here - I think it's generally poor etiquette to tell guests what they can or can't bring to a party, and even worse to put someone else in the potentially awkward position of having to do it for you.
I mean, I don't think it's the end of the world or anything, but I do find it a little inappropriate.
This is MammaMia. I've lost my password.
I did state in my post that I was specifically talking about MY family and friends- there's always at least one overly loud, drunk person who is out of control. And it's not always the same person, so you can't just not invite drunk Uncle Joe. The OP could take from that what she wanted from my response. She knows if that's applicable in her particular situation or not.
My experience with family and friends drinking is that there is no "one drink." Ever. Most of them are going to get at least very tipsy and loud, and before you know it an argument breaks out. Feelings are hurt, people stop talking to each other for months (and in some cases in decades), so yeah, I'm not of a fan of alcohol.

Not an unreasonable request, at all. And pretty selfish for people not to comply, IMO.
I may be late in responding but if it were and all out adult party being thrown for me at someone else's home then I would shut up n suck it up, however if this is a family party and children of all ages ate going to present then I wouldn't hesitate in making the request. I would leave the whole religion thing out if it, I mean correct me if I'm wrong but most families who have a family day or a child's birthday party don't generally serve booze. Let it be the reason for the request, I'm sure Mil would and does understand and respect your religious beliefs but it would / does put her in a position to have to explain but if you present it with the" hey since there are going children present lets have people leave the booze at home" type thing which people with or with out children can totally respect and more easy to swallow and make feel less in a position to have to explain to other guests whom may ask. Does that make sense?
My son is graduating from Highschool in June. I want to do a party, but he has said he just doesn't want a big party. Is it wrong of him to ask that we just take him and a few friends out to eat? I"m the host here, wanting to do something to celebrate my son's graduation, so according to most people here, I should throw the party that *I* want, ignoring my son's wishes? And that it is rude for him to ask that we have the type of celebration he wants, rather than what I want to do.
My only concern with this situation came up with the suggestion that some of the family might bring their own beverages, so there might be alcohol even if the MIL doesn't serve it. I think that would be more difficult to "police". And I think it does start to get a little weird to call all invited and tell them they can't bring something. Or stop people at the door and tell them they can't drink. *That* I think is when it starts to be a judgmental, "I'm too good to be around alcohol" sort of attitude. I am not much of a drinker, most "parties" I go to are family centric and there is on occasion some red wine offered for the adults with the meal. So I don't think alcohol must be present for it to be a party. But I can imagine I might be offended or at least put off if I came to a party at some one elses house where the norm was to bring and drink wine/beer and I was told at the door "so and so is uncomfortable with alcohol and asks that you not drink today".
But I think the answer to OP's question, is it acceptable to ask her MIL not to serve it, is definitely yes.

Mohop: I am wondering if your MIL can send an evite or email the family and say that she is planning a "dry" welcome party to your family on this day and at this time. Because it is family and they already know your religious beliefs, that should be enough of hint to all. But if someone brings alcohol she can politely say thanks and put it aside to offer it back when they are leaving. I know my MIL would do that for me if I asked and I would do that for my children and their wives.
I do think it is ok to include "dry" or "no alcohol please" on the invite, the tricky part is what to do if someone doesn't get the memo and brings some anyway. And that probably depends on the person. I think Mohop should be prepared that some people may ignore it or not know about it, and decide how big an issue it is.

I know this is totally insane, but less than two weeks on the foster/adopt list for 0-12 months and we got a 2 day old baby girl! Her name is Serenity, she is perfectly healthy and is beautiful! She eats wonderfully, she smells like a perfect newborn baby, and she even burps like a champ! We love her already of course!
I was at work today when I got a call over the PA that DH was on the phone. Scared me to death. I thought something was seriously wrong. For some reason this never crossed my mind though I don't know why. DH was like "Ummm we got called for a placement for a 2 day old baby!" I about passed out right there. I tried to call everyone back that I could at DSS but everyone was in meetings or at lunch! I was so afraid we'd miss out on getting her, but sure enough as soon as the kids were on the bus another call came over the PA for me and I went up to the office and they said to come to the DSS office to pick her up. Perfectly healthy and sweet as can be. We went straight there and brought her straight home and have just been in love with her since. Our case manager said "Remember that story I told you about why hate to tell you a wait time? Because just when I say no babies are available here one comes!" She was thrilled for us!
I'd love to post pics but I'm not sure if I can since we signed a confidentiality agreement and they said no facebook so I imagine since this is public they'd say no too but trust me, she's beautiful! Hasn't cried yet so I think she's waiting for our bedtime to start that.
Oh and we know next to nothing about her birth family situation at this time except that her mother is schizophrenic and is in the hospital still. She had some things for her but everything was too big for her and all of her blankets were dirty. They said it was a bad situation but that's all we were told. No idea yet how long she might stay but we'll treasure every moment!
