FO: A Sun Dress for Celeste
Pattern: New Look #6688
Fabric: Chocolate Lollipop in the "Tan Sweet Swirls" print
One of B's little friends just marked her first birthday. Since I don't know how to do sleeves yet, winter apparel was, sadly, not an option. Instead, I made her a sweet little sun dress for next summer. She has the most darling chestnut hair and dark eyes so I went looking for a pretty brown print that would complement them. Brown isn't a color one typically sees on babies so I thought it would be especially interesting in a very twirly little dress. I absolutely adore this pattern but it would be overkill in a traditionally girly print. I hope her parents will agree.
I was initially intimidated by the lining but actually, lining this made the edges so much cleaner. I will be lining everything from now on! More pictures over at Flickr.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love it.
Adorable. Absolutely lovely!!! I'd love something like that adult-sized (and not brown)!
Ooh…I want one in my size. In the BROWN! AmI the only one that happens to? I see something for a two-year-old and want it to wear for myself? maybe that's a problem….
what a great print! i love brown on my little girl. it's such a great color for fair baby skin.
Oh my – this will surely be loved! I think it's the most beautiful little girl dress I've ever seen. Love that it's not all pink and frilly! It would definitely be one I would buy.
Ooh what a gorgeous and delightful dress. I love the print too, so stylish. You are so clever.
This is just beautiful. I love both the print and the pattern. Lovely job. I know what you mean about linings – they're kind of a pain, but they make everything look so clean and pretty.
Really, really lovely. Tres chic for wee one.
You haven't done sleeves yet? I haven't done lining yet! We should take the leaps together. :)
Oh, I love this. It's boocoo fantastic!
She is one lucky little girl – it's gorgeous!
omg! that is just one gorgeous dress. can you make me one in a size 34 years, please?! ;-)
Elinor, that is completely and utterly phenomenal. Seriously. Amazing!
Aww, that is too cute!
Oh, nice work! I love that fabric, and I agree that it's much better suited to the pattern than a girlier print would be. It looks so crisp!
Very pretty and will look fantastic on a little girl. Sleeves are not difficult once you get a little practice.
would you believe I actually broke down and bought a sewing machine??? ekkkkk!!
This is so cute! I love it so much it makes me think about improving my sewing skills so that I can make one!
I love that dress! I want one for myself!
Wow, that is awesome! I love non-traditional colors for babies. Great job!
That dress is fantastic. I really *LOVE* that fabric!!
That is just teh cutest dress. I love that brown fabric. Your Sunrise Circle Jacket is beautiful, too.
Such a cute dress. I love the print!
So cute! I love the sophisticated print on a girly dress. I'd love to have it in my size :)
That's so sweet. Fabric's real pretty too! Great job!
That is a gorgeous dress! Your little one will look beautiful in it!
What a sweetie pie dress! Yes, the lining is the ultimate finisher. Lovely work, dearie!
I LOVE that dress! Who wouldn't want that adorable thing on their daughter? Your sewing is really stunning.
I love love LOVE the dress!! how adorable! great fabric! I want one in my size!
Oh my god, I'm just seeing this now and I LOVE IT. I love the sophisticated fabric for a baby (I just love the fabric, period), and the dress is so beautiful and well made! I suddenly want a baby (something I've never wanted) so you can make it a cute little dress.
How pretty is this!! I've been looking for versions on google and yours came up. I love the cross over detail at the top and the brown is perfect to hide little spillages throughout the day. Did you find your pattern came up a little big?
I agree that its the perfect twirly dress!

Benefit At-A-Glance
Strengths: One of the few cosmetic lines that tries to bring fun back to skin care, but succeeds more with their makeup; nice SPF 15 powder foundation; well-deserved reputation for liquid blush; several excellent powder blushes and a good bronzer; good brow-enhancing options; beautiful lip colors; excellent shimmer products.
Weaknesses: Clever names and product descriptions are much more interesting than product contents; skin care lacks impressive formulas and contains fragrance; cream concealers fall short; mostly average mascaras.
Benefit was developed by twins Jean Danielson and Jane Blackford, whose initial claim to fame was a stint as the Calgon twins back in 1960s television commercials. They opened their first cosmetics store, The Face Place, in San Francisco circa 1976, and then, perhaps recognizing the need for a name with more impact, The Face Place became Benefit in 1990. From there the line took off and expanded its presence beyond the Bay Area to include national department stores and, eventually, Sephora boutiques. Sephora's parent company, LVMH, purchased Benefit in late 1999, and, for the most part, has allowed the brand to stay true to the zany irreverence that put it on the map.
Fortunately the change hasn't eroded Benefit's makeup philosophy, which is outrageously fun, or its product arsenal centered on impossibly cute names and a lexicon that aims to make beauty enjoyable. Benefit single-handedly started the trend of selling makeup and skin-care products with ultra-cute appellations for less than ultra-fancy prices. It seems that in recent years, LVMH's influence may have trickled down to Benefit's marketing department, because most of the cute, attitude-based product descriptions have been tempered to more clearly communicate the products'... you guessed it, benefit. But that's a smart move given the number of products Benefit competes with in department stores and at Sephora.
Yet even with the more straightforward claims, most of these products simply can't do what they say they can. In almost every instance, the showcased ingredients are either present in itsy-bitsy amounts or the claims attributed to them are not even remotely true. Despite this, if you're in the mood for a fun experience and can manage to choose products wisely while enjoying the whimsy, Benefit deserves a look.

Benefit Makeup
It's refreshing to see a cosmetics line espouse fun and frivolity, but if product quality and performance aren't there to sustain the philosophy there's not much to discuss. Luckily, that's not the case with most of Benefit's makeup. As with most lines, there are enough missteps and problem products to shop carefully, but Benefit shines in several categories, including foundation, bronzing powder, blush, and shimmer products.

Summer is here and that means camp for many kids. Whether it's church, scouts or sports, one thing that makes camp, camp are the letters you write home to your parents.
"Hey mom, I made fingerpaints today. I can't wait to show you my pretty picture. Tomorrow we're going on a hike."
But this kid brought camp letters to the a level of funny I've never seen before.
[Image courtesy of MSN ]
Talk about a rough start. Thank goodness for those extra undies indeed!
More highlights from the letter include:
"I went horseback riding and the horse in front of me took 3 huge dumps. Smoke came off the poop. It was awesome."
"Did you know you can light farts on fire? I'll show you on Satterday."
This kid could have a future in comedy. This stuff is gold.

I I cut my strips 5"x WOF and then cut the 1" strip from the 5" units. I found this a better way to ensure an accurate cut along the grain.
Trim the excess strips. I lined my ruler up with the wide base and trimmed the bottom of the strip, re-oriened the ruler and lined up with the un-sashed side and trimmed the overlap at the top.
You will need to cut another 8 triangles for the right had side of the quilt. to do this trace a half triangle from your ruler into paper and draw a line 1/2" beyond the RHS. Use this as a template to cut the triangles for the right had side of the quilt. You will not need to add sashing strips to these ones.
Y Assembling the quilt top.
Quilt top done!

In looking back at 2013 we will remember that is was a good year for protein sources. In a conversation i had with Don Close from Rabobank at Trade Talk in Kansas City he remarked of how this was a very good year for the poultry industry and that 2014 should be just as good. He also felt good about the hog industry although had some question about the latest disease outbreak and what influence that may have in 2014. And he said all sectors of the beef industry were seeing very positive returns and that 2013 brought record beef prices. He feels that news along with improved pasture conditions, cheaper feed costs and strong domestic and export demand should be enough to encourage cattlemen to start building back up inventories.
Colin Woodall of the National Cattlemens' Beef Association agrees that the market signals are pointing to expansion of the beef herd however he added it may be difficult to convince a producer to hold unto a heifer when that market is providing near record returns. He was quick to add however that something has to be done in increasing inventory, because with tight supplies and high retail consumer prices they are bound to hit a point of price resistance where consumers look to a different source of protein such as pork or poultry over high priced beef.

(FOX/CNS) The Los Angeles City Council has decided NOT to appeal the state Public Utilities Commission's regulations allowing smartphone-enabled rideshare services like Lyft and Uber to operate in California. With Mayor Eric Garcetti threatening to veto a council action calling for an appeal, the council opted instead to propose modifications over the coming month as the PUC works to fine-tune its rules.
Mayor Eric Garcetti has indicated he would veto a city appeal of the
regulations, according to Michael Nagle, a city attorney who advises the
Transportation Department. The attorney said if the council votes tomorrow to
pursue the appeal, it would not have time to override a mayoral veto in time to
meet the state deadline.
Representatives of Lyft did not respond to questions about the city's possible appeal of the PUC regulations. A representative of UberX declined to respond prior to any decision by the City Council. Even though the PUC does not categorize ridesharing services as taxi companies, Koretz believes the services are taxis in disguise.
"Essentially what they are doing is legalizing bandit cabs," Councilman Paul Koretz said of the PUC's new rules.
State law reserves a city's right to regulate the taxicab industry, according to Koretz's motion.
By approving the new rules, the PUC "created a new class of for-hire transportation service" that cannot be regulated by the city and would be "unfairly competing with existing locally regulated taxi services," the motion states.
Koretz said the PUC does not have enough investigators to enforce its
own rules.
"They're not going to do anything to actually make (the requirements)
happen, as a practical matter," he said, adding that "it makes a lot more
sense to have local control."
He also questioned whether background checks will be thorough enough to
protect the public's safety.
"When you have the first serial murder or rapist ... they're going to
look back and say the PUC screwed this up and the city screwed this up," he
It remains to be seen if Mayor Eric Garcetti, a supporter of the app-enabled ridesharing services, and the state's regulations, would endorse an appeal of the new rules.
"The mayor so far likes the idea" of the rideshare services, Koretz
said. "I think he likes the high-tech elements to it that are the positive. I
don't think he's given a look at the liability of the dangers that are
Mayoral spokeswoman Vicki Curry said the mayor's office will be
monitoring the City Council's discussion of the potential appeal. The mayor is
also working to address the taxi industry's concerns, she said.
Rick Taylor, a spokesman for Yellow Cab, said this week that the company
plans to appeal the new rules.
"Your entire (taxi) franchise system is under attack," Dominick
Rubalcava, an attorney and lobbyist for Yellow Cab, told the city's Taxicab
Commission last week.
The commission, formed in 1998, oversees a franchise system that allows
nine taxi companies to do business in Los Angeles. Regulation was previously
handled by transportation commissioners.
The state Public Utilities Commission last month signed off on
regulations that classifies phone-app enabled rideshare services as
"transportation network companies." Such companies allow people in need of
rides to use a downloadable smartphone app to make arrangements with those
willing to drive them to their destinations, often for a fee.
Under the new PUC rules, the rideshare companies must get a license from
the PUC, require criminal background checks of drivers, create a driver
training program, adopt a "zero-tolerance" policy on drug and alcohol use,
buy commercial liability insurance policy with a minimum $1 million coverage
and do a 19-point car inspection.
Tom Drischler, administrator for the city's taxicab franchise system,
told the taxicab commission last week that the state's laws are unclear on
whether drivers for rideshare companies will be required to get commercial
insurance, which cost between $5,000 and $7,000. Drivers for those companies
might actually be free to purchase personal insurance instead, he said.
There are also no requirements on the age of vehicles, and the only enforcement measure in place for the "zero-tolerance" policy on drug and alcohol use is an online complaint board, he said.
The rideshare app companies are required to do criminal background
checks but do not need to take fingerprints of drivers, a step that is required
under city rules, Drischler said.

We met with the doctor yesterday to go over our ultrasound results. As you can imagine we had lots and lots of questions so we had quite a lengthy discussion so I won't go over all of that now.
Here are the highlights: Full term for twins is 37 weeks instead of 40. The average set of twins arrives at 36 weeks. The goal is always to keep the babies in there as long as possible so the goal is 38 weeks. Twins that arrive at 33 weeks or before will have to go to Marshfield which is our emergency hospital in the area. At 34 weeks or later they can be taken care of at Ministry Saint Michaels in Stevens Point where we intend to have them. Traditionally a mother of twins is put on bed rest at 28 weeks. That's only 7 weeks from now!! I told the Doc yesterday that won't work for me. I argued that I don't have a high stress job, I don't do physical labor. After looking at my ultrasound he said there's nothing in my ultrasound that would make him insist on it at this point. They will be keeping a close eye on the babies. I will have another ultrasound in 2 weeks and then every 4 weeks after that. If at any point they feel like there is too much stress on me or the babies they will put me on bed rest so I will just have to take it very easy so that doesn't happen.
There are many restrictions for women who are pregnant with twins a few are limited exercise, no standing for more than 30 minutes, no riding or driving in a car for more than an hour, limited lifting, limited house cleaning, limited exposure to heat, etc. It's going to be long summer. If I don't want to go on bed rest I'm going to have to be vigilant about these things. Luckily I have awesome coworkers that will help me out.

Amarillo, Texas - Child abuse cases in the panhandle have gone down, but still remain among the highest in the state, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
The 13th Annual Child Abuse Prevention Conference was held Thursday to better understand where abuse comes from and how to cope with it. Two key speakers discussed the topics "Youth in Crisis" and "Bridges Out of Poverty."
Speaker Regina Lewis, Ph.D says child abuse happens at every socio-economic level. Many abused children don't speak up, so learning the signs of abuse are important.
"If we can understand that this is what's happening in the home, because often times there's not a voice for these children who are being abused. And if we are more aware, we can look at the signs what is actually going on and be able to intervene much quicker than we have in the past," Lewis says.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services reports, in the state of Texas 77 percent of abusers are parents.
Those in attendance also learned how to better communicate with youth to help them overcome abuse.

Q:Would like to use this on a wall. Can it just be glued in place?
1 answer
A:For helpful tips & instructions; Please go to our http://www.lumberliquidators.com//brands/brands.jsp?brandName=WallsCeilings,
Q:Is this floor very yellowish in hue? Is it matt or highly reflective?
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Q:Would it be possible to pickle or white wash the 6mm Donar Oak Laminate Flooring?
1 answer
A:Sorry, not possible to stain a laminate (it is only a picture of wood).
Q:For the 6mm Donar Oak, I was told that even for a floating floor that I may need to put a bead of construction adhesive between the two pieces where they interlock due to the laminate being thinner than most. Any truth to this? I understand a floating floor is glueless however I don't want to break pieces or have them not withstand.
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:How much of an expansion gap is needed between the product and the wall?
1 answer
A:You will need 1/4" expansion to any verticle obstruction.
Q:Is this flooring appropriate for a high traffic bathroom? (5 people: 3 of whom are children with friends-lots). It has a bathtub & shower used by all daily. (And, my daughter creates lots of steam. There is little ventilation due to no window.)
1 answer
A:Yes, laminate is acceptable for installation in a powder room. It is recommend to put a throw rug by the sink because an excess water can damage wood. You will need to wipe up any water that sit on the floor as soon as possible. However a full bathroom that is showered in everyday may not be the best location for laminate. Often there is too much water on the floor or humidity that can be absorbed into the flooring resulting in board edge cupping. Resilient and Tile floors are a better choice for these areas
Q:can I use this to make a bar top and put a finish on top of it?
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:Wanting to know what's the best way to clean?? What kind of products to clean with? I would hate to mess up the flooring...
1 answer
A:Cleaning and Maintenance
Q:I am considering installing the Donar oak in my downstairs where carpeting is..would I be able to use the existing padding (that is under the rug) under the new laminate flooring?
1 answer
A:Carpet padding is not dense enough to support the locking system and will cause the floor to separate. We recommend using a preferred underlayment such as bellawood premium or Eco silent sound. Thank you for your inquiry

Two soldiers from Fort Drum, in northern New York, were killed in combat in Afghanistan, the Department of Defense announced.
Capt. Aaron R. Blanchard, 32, of Selah, Wash., and 1st Lt. Robert J. Hess, 26, of Fairfax, Va., suffered fatal wounds when they were hot by indirect fire in Pul-E-Alam on April 23, 2013, the Pentagon said.
They were assigned to the 2nd Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered flags on state government buildings to be flown at half-staff on April 30 in their honor.
"I join with all New Yorkers in mourning the loss of Captain Blanchard and Lieutenant Hess, and I send my deepest sympathies to their family, friends, and fellow soldiers," Cuomo said. "We will honor the service of these Fort Drum soldiers and we will be forever grateful for their dedication to duty and to our nation."
Blanchard joined the Marines in 2000 and served in Iraq in 2003, the Army said. After leaving the Marines, he completed an ROTC program and joined the Army in 2009 to become an Apache helicopter pilot. Among his many decorations are the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the NATO Medal, the military said.
Blanchard leaves behind a wife, two children, parents, and two brothers, the Army said.
Hess, a Blackhawk pilot, was commissioned into the Army in 2010, the military said. His awards and decorations include the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, the NATO Medal, and many more.
Hess is survived by his parents and brother.

I'm sure you've seen the ads on TV, or while driving on Wisconsin highways. The push to get people who don't drink whiskey to dabble into it is on.
How does one attempt such a plan?
You do so by adding flavors to your Bourbon, American, and Canadian, Irish or Scotch whiskeys.
The infusion of tastes like honey, cherry, cinnamon, maple syrup, apple and tea into the fermented grain mash is apparently selling well.
According to the New York Times story, flavored whiskeys are the fastest growing segment in the bourbon industry. Jim Beam's Nielsen research found that in 2012 flavored whiskey accounted for nearly 75 percent of growth among all whiskeys, and 42 percent of growth in bourbon.
But is it a good idea?
That depends upon whom you ask. If it's a non-whiskey drinker, they may give it a shot (pun intended) if they're a fan of the flavor. If its a bartender, the flavors do lend it to be made into interesting cocktails.
However, if you're someone who appreciates the warm, peaty, malty, grainy, oaky, caramel flavors of a straight whiskey (or with a bit of water/rocks), probably not. You may even be revolted, much like the Scotch Whisky Association.
For the companies which make the product, there may have been moments of apprehension. But the bottom line is that sales look strong. So we can expect to see the flavored whiskey market to grow as other flavors and/or brands jump on board.
My personal hope is that we DON'T see Bushmill's Whipped Irish Cream Whisky.

(RNN) - The White House responded to the more than 290 petitions on the website We the People on Friday.
From those wanting to impeaching President Barack Obama to investigating Karl Rove for vote tampering, petitions were dynamic in scope, seriousness and repetition. Some asked to secede from the Union, and numerous others called for the strange and outlandish.
One citizen, perhaps a fan of sci-fi movies and fearing invasion of intergalactic enemies decided to propose their wishes to the Obama administration:
"Secure resources and funding and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016. As mentioned before, those who fear intergalactic bullying or want to contribute to intergalactic bullying desire passage of this petition. A leg up on alleged space invaders is always good."
The White House responded with a letter titled "This isn't the response you're looking for," a clear nod to Obi Wan's line to the Storm Troopers trying to find C3PO and R2D2 in the first movie.
"The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it," the letter said.
The letter also points out that it's not the position of the U.S. Government to blow up planets or "spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship."
Any petition has 30 days to pass a signature threshold of 25,000. Once past a preliminary period it's reviewed by a White House official and given a response to the petition.
Many of the quirky petitions failed to obtain enough signatures.
The desire for incandescent light bulbs to return to the market failed to receive enough signatures, as well as the petitions to transfer funds from the drug war to fund the research and development for the research of the genetic engineering of domestic cat girls.
However, the petition for Vice President Joe Biden to have his own television show is still open for a little bit longer, but has nowhere near 25,000 signatures.
The petitions also reflect serious issues the country is grappling with, including the debate about gun control.
CNN's Piers Morgan has numerous petitions involving either his deportation or his remaining in the U.S. based on his gun control views. Morgan has laughed them off, and even come face to face with the petitions' creator. The petition to deport Morgan exceeded the threshold, receiving 109,334 signatures. The White House has responded to the petition and Morgan isn't going anywhere.
The website We the People was created by the Obama Administration in September 2011 to allow, encourage, and promote general issues to be brought up to the White House by the American public.

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'Nerds of a Feather' - 1990, Directed by Gary Graver and Mario Romeo Milano
This is a prime example of why not everybody should attempt comedy. The main director/writer/actor (wow, way to take charge!) writes some painfully unfunny dialogue, and is also not very good at much else. That being said, there are still quite a few laughs throughout, albeit at the film's expense.
So, this is apparently what happens when you write a James Bond parody where the big joke is that a nerd is the hero. Remember, this is from the 'Naked Gun' era, so maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time.
But...either Mr. Milano was too self-conscious to play a 'real' nerd, or he'd just never met one, because in his mind a 'nerd' is somebody who is clumsy and knocks things over all the time. He doesn't wear classes or do nerdy things at all...he is just a klutz.
He also seems to equate little people with humor, which is a common misconception I guess. Maybe at one point this was true, but nowadays they have to be DOING something funny, which none of the 12 or so little people here do.
Most of my laughs came from the many poorly-made Cold War jokes. These were the peak 'let's make fun of the Russians' years, but these folks just do a horrible job. It's a lot of 'the Kremlin would never let us do THIS!' type stuff. The Russians in the film are also quite bumbling, similar to Boris and Natasha from the old cartoons.
The plot, although really unimportant, is basically that the Russians are trying to steal some scientist's work, but the nerd keeps accidentally messing things up, which leads them to think he's a top CIA agent. He and his talking dog (although NOBODY seems to hear it?) Lampshade continue doing this throughout. He falls in love with another clumsy 'nerd,' and that's basically it. Really dumb stuff.
Oh, and the nerd-girl's ex-boyfriend, an abusive biker, quickly becomes fast friends with them both(??).
Obviously not all of the films Troma digs out of the muck are that great...some of them are just to turn a quick profit. This one falls kind of in between. I would probably watch it again, but no more than that.

A young woman has risen out of poverty from one of the poorest corners in the Western Hemisphere thanks in part to an Alpharetta dentist and his family. Ancelma Ortiz, 22, is from Santiago Sacatepequez, a small town in the highlands of Guatemala. It's a village outside Guatemala City where most girls work in the fields like their parents. They're subsistence farmers who live on about $1 a day.For 17 years, the charity Cooperative for Education has given children like Ancelma access to textbooks and computers – and a way out of crushing poverty in Guatemala."In my case, I had to help my mom to go to the market and sell different types of vegetables and some flowers as well," Ortiz said.Alpharetta dentist Dr. George MacMaster and his wife, Michelle, are big supporters of the charity. The MacMasters and their children have traveled to Guatemala several times to see the work in action."The impact of providing books and computers to children who have zero -- we're not enhancing a library, we're providing the very first books they've ever had in their lives, and it's also been pointed that sometimes it's the first book the family has ever had," MacMaster said.The gratitude of the children is overwhelming and lasting because they and their families invest in the success.Jeff Berninger and his brother Joe quit the corporate world to establish CoEd, but they brought their business savvy with them."We've found that in all of our work -- over 20 years -- that if you give people something for free, they don't appreciate it. They don't involve themselves in it," Berninger said. So the families pay about a dollar a month for a set of four textbooks."That money goes into a fund and at the end of five years, there's enough money in the fund to start replacing the books," Berninger said. It work: 120 communities have replaced their own books at least once -- a blessing for Ancelma and thousands more like her.Ancelma said she now does customer service for an international company. "Every single day I take calls on the phone," she said. The MacMasters and their staff recently welcomed Ancelma as their honored guest with a banner and a bed of pine needles – a Guatemalan tradition.Ancelma said she was eager to take what she learned in her visit back home. "It's a really good experience that you can improve yourself and actually you can support your family and you can be an example in your town," Ancelma said.The average family in the Guatemalan highlands has six children. Boys, not girls, typically get what education is available, but success stories such as Ancelma's are changing attitudes.

All of you are so beautiful! I can't get over it! I love you all and pray for your BFPs!
Mariah (35) and DH (40) BFP 8/12/13! Baby Kayla is here! Praying for all the APA girls .
Thanks!! I won't have them around when I move in when DBF in August. Well I'm bringing Questular with me, but Eleanor is too old and she's got some health issues and Marius was abused as a puppy so he will stay with my mom too because he doesn't like guys, but DBF is getting me a puppy when I come back to Kansas after going home to Nebraska for the summer. I'm excited about it!!
We should definitely make this a sticky!! I like seeing a pic of who I'm harassing and stalking on here!!
And at least you get to take Questular with you (fantastic name btw). I know when I moved from my mom's house I always took one cat with me because of one reason or another. Now he is living with me, 15 odd houses and apartments later And he has two other kitty friends ;)
Girls we can only have this as a sticky if we get rid of some of the other stickies. Are there any that we are willing to part with? We are done with April testers. It's been suggested to me that we do away with the the BFP thread since most people post their BFP in their own thread anyway. What do you guys think?
Yeah I think it would be just fine to get rid of the BFP sticky because you are right most people post a new thread (which I prefer anyway!)
That's my $.02
I agree

Hi everyone!
My name is Whitney. I am new to the site but I stumbled on here looking for advice on ovulation predictions. My husband and I started TTC in March of this year. We kind of went into it, not caring if it happened or not, and of course I got a BFP right away in April. However a week after finding out we were expecting our first child...I found out I was miscarrying. The miscarriage happened quickly and naturally. I tried not to dwell or let it consume me because I didn't want to be sad...I wanted to move forward and be strong because everyone around me, although they were trying to be supportive, I still felt like they were looking at me with pity.
Since then, my husband and I waited a bit to start trying again but we just really started ttc again in August. I am trying not to get stressed or frustrated that it isn't happening as quickly as it did the first time. But it's hard! I feel like everyone around me is watching and wondering why it hasn't happened yet. My cycles are all messed up still from the miscarriage as I run anywhere from 26 to 35 days cycles so pinpointing ovulation is almost non existent. I just feel like I am the only person in the world going through this. When will my cycles level out? I feel consumed by the pressure and I can't figure out how to let it go...
Ugh...sorry for my rambling. Maybe I just need to write to get it all out.

Exactly what 'business' is Joe Biden involved in?
**Written by Doug Powers
Joe Biden campaigning today: "As they say in my business, I'm going to give you the whole load today!"
Now, I spend a great deal of time in "flyover country" and as a result probably don't catch every example of day-to-day inside-the-Beltway vernacular, but, with the possible exception of select reports by various independent counsels through the years, "I'm going to give you the whole load today" doesn't ring a bell as something that's said with regularity in DC.
Video via The Weekly Standard:
Taxpayers respond: BOHICA!
That's right up there with other Biden instant classics like "Stand up, Chuck" and "I had a successful dump" — as they say in Joe's business.
Update: Overall, Biden had one of his most gaffetastic days ever.

The ferry to Lummi Island is only about ten miles from my house, and I dined at the Willows Inn a number of times before Blaine Wetzel arrived. Enough times that Riley Starks, still an owner at that point, recognized me the day he and I ended up in an elevator in Downtown Bellingham together--post-NY Times claiming the Willows one of the Ten Restaurants To Go To Before You Die (which occurred in a different article shortly after their claiming it worth a plane ride), which caused the WSJ to name it one of five restaurants around the world to inherit the El Bulli mystique for impossible-to-get-reservations--on which occasion I nailed the Close Door button and refused to let him out until he promised to get me a table.
You see, once Blaine showed up with his ersatz Noma Pacific Northwest, it had become impossible to get a table--especially if you were a local. In their shortsightedness, they made it a prereq pretty much to book a room at the tiny Inn, which used to cost about $100-125 per night for one of maybe four rooms they had, but which were now joined by 12 others either newly built or cobbled together from nearby residences and cost $300 a night, such that the 16 rooms provided the 32 diners the restaurant now holds and a lot more income.
And such that the locals who helped keep The Willows afloat all those years are now invisible. Unless they book a room.
Riley admitted this was a problem and told me they were trying to come up with a plan. "After all," I said, "When you guys fall out of the favor because the private jetsters have moved on to The Next Big Thing, you might regret that you'd alienated us." He nodded in agreement. And then he sold the Inn.
So god knows if I'm ever going to dine at the new Inn. Every now and then I pick up the phone and try to get a reservation but the phone calls are getting farther apart. By the time the shine wears off of them, it might have already worn off of me. Still, it remains an interesting local phenomenon.

Sioux City, IA—The Stampede rallied from a two goal deficit in the third period only to see Sioux City score with 2:43 left and fell, 5-4 in the final day of the USHL Fall Classic West. Veterans C.J. Franklin and Zeb Knutson had two goals and an assist each while David Jacobson stopped all 18 shots he faced. Shane Starrett stopped 11 of 16 shots in the second half of the game. The Stampede finished the pre-season with a 3-2-0 record and will have a week off before opening the regular season next Saturday at Des Moines.
Sioux Falls grabbed the first goal of the game 7:19 when veteran C.J. Franklin scored. Dennis Kravchenko won an offensive zone faceoff and sent it back to the top of the right circle where Franklin wristed a shot past Sioux City goaltender Connor Girard. The Herd controlled much of the play for the rest of the period, but Sioux City outshot Sioux Falls 9-7.
The Herd added to their lead 8:39 into the second period when Zeb Knutson scored on the powerplay. Franklin took the puck behind the Musketeers net and sent into the left circle where Knutson wristed a shot through the five-hole of Girard to make it a 2-0 game. Minutes later, Sioux Falls was awarded a 5-on-3 powerplay for two minutes, but the Musketeers shutdown the Herd offense and stole the momentum. Nikolas Olsson got the Musketeers on the board at 15:03 of the period when he one-timed a pass in front of the net from Dylan Pitt, past the glove side of Shane Starrett. It was the Musketeers first goal of the classic who were blanked 2-0 the night before against Waterloo. Just over two minutes later Dylan Pitt scored a goal of his own when his wrister from the right circle got past Starrett to make it a 2-2 game at the end of two periods. Sioux City outshot the Stampede, 15-12 in the faster paced second period.
The Stampede came out flying in the third period, but couldn't get the puck to bounce in the net. Sioux City would take their first lead of the night 4:37 into the period when Jared Thomas fed Avery Peterson inside the right circle and Peterson ripped a shot past Starrett to give the Musketeers a 3-2 advantage. The goal came on the power play for the Muskies. Minutes later, they extended their lead with their fourth unanswered goal.
The Stampede cut the lead in half with 7:22 when Zeb Knutson scored his second of the night. Dennis Kravchenko took the puck down the right wing boards and dropped it in the slot to Knutson who blasted a shot past Girard to make it a 4-3 game. Minutes later, Sioux Falls went on the powerplay and the Stampede converted on a goal from Franklin. Zeb Knutson blasted a shot from the left circle that was stopped by Girard, but Franklin was there and put away the rebound to tie the game, 4-4. Sioux City would regain the lead however, with 2:43 left when Austin Adduono fired a shot that was stopped by Starrett, but picked up the rebound, spun around and wristed a shot into the back of the net to give the Musketeers a 5-4 edge. The Herd pulled Starrett in the final minute, but came up short in the game.
Both teams played a five minute, 3-on-3 sudden death overtime. It was done at all USHL Fall Classic games this year as part of an experiment. Neither team would end up scoring in the extra session and the game ended, 5-4.
Both teams finished with 34 shots on goal and the Stampede went 2-for-5 on the power play while Sioux City was 1-for-7. Sioux Falls opens regular season play next Saturday in Des Moines against the Bucs at 7:05 PM. You can hear that game and all the games live on KELO News Talk 1320-AM, 107.9-FM and online at www.kelo.com
The Herd's home opener is Friday, October 4th against Omaha at 7:05 PM. Single game tickets are on sale now through the Sioux Falls Arena box office or any Ticketmaster location. Season, group and suite tickets are available through the Stampede office by calling 605-336-6060 or email email@example.com. Be sure to ask about the all new mini-plan which allows you to get the same seat for 10 to 25 games!

But these aren't the only major issues that Wal-Mart faces.
"The company's problems run much deeper," write the analysts at Tiburon Research Group's Retail Geeks.
It's still not clear if Wal-Mart's price investment, which should drive traffic into its stores, is actually working, according to Tiburon.
See, back in Q1 2012, Wal-Mart announced a new initiative. It would invest in price at both Walmart and Sam's Club in order to drive traffic into its stores. It promised to pump $2 billion into retail pricing, then later in 2012, Wal-Mart upped that number to $6 billion.
And yet, Walmart store traffic slowed down in Q2 and Q3 relative to Q1.
So there's a big question that needs to be answered: Is Wal-Mart's price investment actually effective?
Here's the problem, following 4 consecutive quarters of improved traffic (Q4 2011 through Q3 2012), the core chain lapped an increased level of traffic in Q4 2012.
Coinciding with the anniversary of an increased level of traffic at the core chain, the company planned for a much larger marketing spend in Q4 2012 (radio/TV). Therefore, it will be interesting to see if the core chain's traffic improved in Q4 2012 versus LY.
If not, FY 2013 is setting up to be an ugly year for WMT.
There are some fundamental concerns about the health of Wal-Mart's core customers. Wal-Mart's price investment is meant to help curtail that problem and it may not be working.
One thing's for sure — Wal-Mart's Q4 earnings will be very interesting come Feb. 21.

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
This man's coat is a very remarkable survival, not only because it is an early garment, but also because it is made out of wool which was spun and woven at home and not professionally manufactured. The fabric is straight off the loom and has not been finished or dyed, and the garment is unlined so that it feels and looks rather primitive, resembling sacking. Nevertheless this simple cloth has been constructed into a very fashionably cut coat with deep pocket flaps, wide cuffs and full pleats in the coat-skirts. Remarkably, it exhibits all the fashionable elements for a man's coat of the 1740s, made in a fabric worthy of the stable! The fashionable woven silk suit below, dating from a little later, shows how accurate the silhouette has been achieved in this unsophisticated wool.
Although unfortunately we do not know the wearer, the wool fibres are Scottish in provenance, and it is tempting to imagine a smallholder or croft-farmer making his own cloth and then commissioning a family member or an itinerant tailor to produce a coat for him to an up-to-date fashionable design. He would, no doubt, have been proud to have worn something that was the product of his own endeavour, and it was a way for someone of severely limited means to afford to dress smartly and fashionably.

By Charlie LeDuffFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Detroit firefighters say they have a new worry -- their new boots. The rank and file are complaining they're not up to snuff. So why did the city pay top dollar?Now we've chronicled leaking fire trucks, missing money, cutbacks, feces bubbling out of the floors of the firehouses and no toilet paper. Now this week's outrage is the new fire boots.Now while they are fire certified, fire officials tell us that the new boots aren't even the ones they agreed to buy this past summer. The new boots are flimsy. They don't fit. They don't have support and nails go through the bottoms. Nevertheless, we paid top dollar. Why?In July, the City of Detroit accepted bids for a $188,000 contract to purchase fire boots. Now the low bid was $106 per pair. But the city went with the high bidder who was asking $118 a pair. Why? Because that company is a Detroit-based contractor, which is allowed to charge more by city ordinance."So they'd be better off just going to Payless and taking their chances and buying a pair of boots because our city dollars bought a pair boots that are totally useless? I don't understand this," said Michelle King.It's a Coleman Young era law that was intended to help business people in Detroit, but it's a law that's gone wrong says Adolph Mongo, a former aide to Mayor Young."You know what they remind me of? When I was a kid, I grew up on Eight Mile Road and Wyoming in Royal Oak Township and they had an A&P store, and I always wanted one of those fire truck things for Christmas. It was $5.99 and they had those boots that look like the same boots."Now if the city had gone with the low bidder, they could've at least gotten 200 more pairs of the flimsy boots, a pretty big deal for a fire department that can't afford toilet paper.Mayor Bing and his chief procurement officer Andre DuPerry said two years ago we couldn't afford the practice and they'd put an end to junk like this, so the boots and I went to find out what's what.DuPerry was in, but he wouldn't come out.I called the fire commissioner three times. He didn't return my call. I went to go see him and he wouldn't come out."Shame on your, fire commissioner, because you wouldn't wear those boots into a fire," Mongo said.So there you have it. Nobody in this story wearing a silk tie wants to have their feet held to the fire, but don't worry Detroit. The men in uniform still have honor.I asked a firefighter whether he would now think twice about jumping in and saving someone's baby."Nope. That's what we're here for," he said.So he would do it anyway even with bad equipment?"That's why they pay us. Took an oath. That's what we do."

I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child. The strength you must have to push through. There are no words anyone can say to make it feel better or to help. All we can say is that we're praying for strength for the Kurtzweil family. Treyden Kurtzweil, 1 year, passed away yesterday after a long battle with Leukemia.
A listener told me last week after our family lost its' youngest member that we experience pain so we can understand love. In the year that Treyden was alive he experienced so much love from his parents, family, friends, hospital staff, and thousands of strangers who followed his story on Facebook. His story touched so many lives and even though I never met him personally I am glad I got a chance to get to know him through his Saving Treyden page.
In honor of Treyden's passing this morning we played Carrie Underwood "See You Again". Hopefully, the family can take comfort in knowing they'll be reunited with their beautiful baby boy one day.
