billet premium,

CHICAGO Aluminum billet premiums have increased as spot activity picked up following a slow start to 2013. AMM narrowed its 6063 billet premium range to between 12 and 13 cents per pound Jan. 25 from 11 to 13 cents per pound previously. Volumes reportedly traded totalled in excess of 4,200 tonnes or 9.26 million pounds over the past week in comparison to about 2,500 tonnes recorded a week earlier (amm.com, Jan. 16). Demand is likely to heat up further from April to June thanks to strength in the automotive sector, continued improvements in construction activity and a slowly but steadily improving U.S. economic outlook, several market sources said. ....

Easy food and Blue Moon Cafe, Exeter, NH
The last week or so, I've been pretty much pulling a Seinfeld and eating cereal, blueberries and soymilk for dinner.
Spring has finally sprung in New Hampshire!
I've been very enthralled by birds lately......
Also, work has been going great. I've been cooking up a vegan storm at the Blue Moon Cafe in Exeter, NH. Jerk Tempeh and Seitan 'Sausage', Kale, Onions, Roasted Garlic and Sundried tomatoes are on the menu for tomorrow, along with vegan Eggplant 'Parmesan'.. and Thai Spicy Noodles and Tofu.... It has been so much fun cooking vegan food! I hope that I can find the time this week to start the Blue Moon Blog..... complete with daily specials and soups....

Hooray for delicious meals (FAR from being boring, Mel!), spring flowers and weather, and your time at work going so well - keep it up!! :0)ReplyDelete
Oo I didn't realize you were in Exeter. My college roommate lives there and we definitely went to a cute little cafe when I visited her once... except I think it was called the green bean, not blue moon. Hm. Now I'll have to ask her. I like the pasta veggie combo - lots of veggies!ReplyDelete
yum! i adore the photo of flowers, too!ReplyDelete
So great to hear how much you are loving your job! I wish I lived close enough to eat there. Your menu sounds great.ReplyDelete
I can totally relate to the cereal for dinner. I think it's a chef "thing". I used to come home from cheffing all day, and all I would want to eat for dinner was a big bowl of cereal or oatmeal. Too funny.
every once in a while i go through moments of pretty much eating nothing but cereal.ReplyDelete
glad spring has sprung!
How are you even finding inspiration to cook at home after cooking all day at work? Kudos to you, Melody. You're awesome!ReplyDelete
I miss new hampshire so much...ReplyDelete
OOH let us know if you start a blue moom blog.. wow that just SOUNDS cool huh?- blue moon Blog... yea you need to do it :)ReplyDelete
Before I went vegan, pretty much all I ate was cereal!! It's definitely easy when you don't feel like cooking.ReplyDelete
So excited to read your blue moon blog! We have finally decided on dates for our trip to Boston, I'm really hoping to make it up there to taste your food!
I wish I were in NH so I could stop in and try some of your wonderful new creations at work! Your pasta looks amazing, as always.ReplyDelete
I really wish I could visit you at the Blue Moon Cafe ~ until then, I look forward to the blog. The snap peas look so amazing - I love them.ReplyDelete
Pretty pictures! And the food looks delicous :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos and food, Meolody. I wish I could pop by your cafe for lunch.ReplyDelete
I occasionally get into a food rut. This week, for some reason, 3 dyas I had the same lunch: a sandwich of rice pepper jack vegan slices (freebies) with veganaisse and lettuce on spelt bread. I must have needed whatever was in it, b/c it tasted so good each time!

I just recently lost my 16 1/2 year old rescue German Sheperd/Chow mix named "Billy" on 9/11/11. He was such a strong, brave boy and he was himself until the end except his body was starting to show signs of slowing down, arthritis, trouble with going up and down stairs, incontinence (losing control of bladder).

Oh Allie, sharing the same feelings exactly. I just lost my beautiful boy Bichon, Bossman last week, He was 18 and a half. People can be insensitive. I met a vet recently who was great and said "Age is not a disease".. bless her heart. If you would like to talk, pls leave me your email, I know it is a year for you and hope you are doing better.. I am miserable.. take care. Sharon

Allie, you are so right! AND those people who buy a cute, fluffy puppy also don't realize that it probably came from a puppy mill, and that the mom and dad dogs are still imprisoned in a wire hell, cranking out puppies for some greedy mill operator! Those of us who rescue know REAL love!

Your article made me cry. Every word of it is so true. I have an eleven year old Irish Setter who is the love of my life...need I say more?
Maybe we should just ask these people if they would ask the same question of someone's 90 year old mother. Although "Do you know you have a wart on your chin?" I love it!!
I saw that you had an Irish Setter named Amos and smiled, because one of my very favorite Irish Setters is named Amos. Then I saw your byline and realized - such a small world - they are the same dog! I absolutely love "The Story of an Old Dog and His Couch"!! Not to mention the sequel, "The Amazing Amos." Oh...I have to go read them again...wonderful books...thank you.

Thanks for this article. It made me cry for Pam and for myself as I have an old dog with an inoperable tumor. She is happy and in no pain so why do people have to be so ugly about it? I shouldn't have to wait until dark to play with my sweet dear old dog. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for writing this. I have five dogs, and two of them are in their golden years. One of them was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma, and is now a tripawd because of it. I have yet to experience any strangers making rude, tacky, or classless remarks like you talk about. I cannot imagine anyone being so thoughtless or insensitive when it comes to my dogs, who I love so much.
I know they are getting old. I see it everyday, and it makes me sad. I cannot bare the thought of not having them by my side one day. I don't know how I'll deal with it. I do everything I can to keep them as healthy as they can be. They get plenty of exercise, the best food I can afford, and lots of love. I've been researching supplements for dogs, and now all of my pack get fish oil, and the older ones also get glucosamine and chondroitin. I even started a website to help other people learn about the benefits of fish oil for dogs, and soon will do the same for glucosamine and chondroitin. I do not sell anything on my site, so if anyone is interested in checking it out, please feel free to drop by: http://efishoilfordogs.com I know it isn't pretty, but I'm learning as I go.
Thanks again for for this post.

My sister had a dog that lived to be nearly 17 years old. During the last days of his life he became very thin and bony. (He was still eating at this point, but just couldn't keep weight on). People would question why he looked so "awful". He was obviously a senior. But he was happy and lively. I didn't like people assuming we didn't take care of him; on the contrary he lived a very long time!

What a beautiful story! I just lost my cocker spaniel at the age of 17 and it was so heart wrenching to have to make the decision to put her to rest. She had terrible skin problems in her later life, and yes, friends and family would say "what's wrong with her"? and make faces! Really? She was still the most beautiful sweet dog to me - and I made sure she knew it every day.

I just had to out my dog down a few weeks ago. It was the hardest thing, I ever had to do in my life so far. I know exactly what your saying but it seems to me that people have become much more rude in general feeling as though they have every right to judge you and your life. Well, I just adopted two dogs yesterday from the SPCA, I needed to fill that empty space. Its crazy how much you can fall in love with animals.

I have just read your article - 2 years later but feel that I have to make a comment. My Irish Setter bitch Cleo is now 11 1/2 years old. She was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure and she has very bad arthritis. BUT, and it is a huge but, she is being medicated for her heart condition and, along her pain medication for the arthritis, she is acting more like a teenager than when she was younger. It is as though she has a completely new lease on life.

My dog was adopted from the shelter, she was very overweight, people made unkind comments as we walked to get her fit. She lost weight, and we continued to walk until she could no longer. As she aged she required medication for her pretty severe arthritic condition. People comment your dog is limping etc. She loved going out even if it was just to the corner. She became such a sweet dog and towards the end of her life she continued to go out. I loved her very much and she will be forever missed. And yes having dogs is like breathing, you love them and they are never out of your mind.

This article left a lump in my throat..

Well, I do think that people can be too sensitive. I assume that when someone comments on my dogs, they are being kind and sympathetic, and maybe just want to talk. BUT, several years ago I adopted a Pekingese (possibly a mix). She was the cutest little thing! However, the first time I took her out with me, some woman (about 30-40 years old) started laughing and pointing, and cackled, "That's the ugliest dog I've ever seen!" Too late I thought, I should have said, "Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

Im sat here, smelly dog at my feel, tears streaming down my face, after reading this letter.
My dog is 17, blind, smells like musty old socks, shakes, collapses, twitches due to a heart murmer, has recenty suffered a "stroke" and cant manage a proper walk ( this is recent problem) until last week when he was bitten by another dog. he would pld along as if walking on hot coals, then getting a whiff of a squirell race of in to the woods. Now he just aches, and shivers.
decline can be so rapid, alarming, isolating for both owner and pet. Yet my dog dexter, eats, sleeps, wees ( all over the place) licks my hand when approached, tried to sneak food off my plate or eat my crips. Waggs his tail when I get home from work, if fighting every inch of every day to stay alive. he is strong, I on the other hand cry with the humanity of his situation. But I will fight with him, for aslong as he wants me too.

I love dogs. plain and simple. And senior dogs are my favorite. I mostly feel sorry for the people out there who don't see the immeasurable value of a pet, even at an advanced age. This is when they need us the most. This is the time, after devoting their entire life to us, that we should give them our very best. I lost two senior dogs in 2011 and it was the worst year of my life. You think you won't make it, but you do. And now I have another. And I don't adopt puppies, I adopt older dogs. And I know I will go through that again. But every moment I have them in my life makes it worth it. We don't dispose of humans when they grow old, though I am also appalled at how little senior adults are valued as well. I love them too. A slow walk, a loving massage, a nap in the sun...we can embrace these moments with our pets and although it can be bittersweet, there is joy in seeing how we bring them comfort, let them know how important and loved they are, thank them for everything they've given. The same goes for people. So do what you want with your dogs - take them out in public, educate people on the value of their lives no matter what their age, tell them when they're hurtful or inappropriate. Or just feel sorry for them. Because karma is a bitch and one day they will grow old and fear their diminished bodies but know they still have much to give and teach and say that nobody seems to want to hear. And they may remember their lack of compassion when they were younger. Some people just don't know better. How sad for them to have lived and never have known the unexplainable love and bond a human can have with an animal. And be happy you are the loving person that you are. Because your dog knows, and in my opinion their is the only opinion that truly matters.

I really liked your comment -- I'm a "serial" elderly adopter, too. There's nothing like bringing an old dog home from the shelter or pound, and having him live out his days with your, hiking and then lazing around afterwards. Soooo much easier than life with a puppy or young dog, and it feels, to my mind, much more rewarding. Sure, you miss them when they're gone, and you have a bad day at the end, but then you have the opportunity to do it all over again. I'm with you -- YOUR DOG'S OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT TRULY MATTERS! :0)

Thanks for saying exactly what I feel. I too adopt elder dogs and lost so many in an 18 month period my neighbors were concerned for my sanity. BUT, Pheona and Noel who were "sisters" all their lives needed a home at 10 years old. They are now 14 and I know I won't have them with me much longer. Dodger was 8 when he came to live with us and is now about 11 and a real mommas boy!! They bring a lot of love and peace to my life and I know another special elder will need a happy place after these babies leave me.

I recently lost my Black Lab on November 21, 2012 to malignant melanoma and my Golden Retriever on March 19, 2013 to a pulmonary embolism. My heart has been breaking every day since. I most especially despise the people who have informed me that after all, "it is only a dog." My dogs are members of my family and as such deserving of my full respect, love and support. Anyone who thinks my beautiful companions are worth anything less than that are not worth my time, except to assure them that if they pass I will not mourn.

Children are a blessing and your pets are so a blessing. children grow up too fast and your dog, cat, or what ever will grow old to fast... My baby girl is a 12 year old perfect chocolate Labrador and all i want for her is comfort for the next year or so she will have with us. What wonderful gift she has been wish I had realized how fast time was going bye for her to be with us. Yep she is just a dog and a very good dog most everyone has told us for year's ...So if anyone tells me things that seem cold or cruel I just say to them she is worth every minute she has lived to make me happy every day the least I can do is show her kindly that she did a good job of it! Tell them with a smile! some people don't have the luck of the love of a good animal.

Oh how sad. Yes so many of us have been through similar things. I can only assume that such comments come from folks who haven't been through what senior dogs and their owners go through.

This last paragraph just made me tear up. A year ago my 15 years old cocker spaniel passes away which left me and my now 12 yrs. old Wheaten. Last month I adopted a 10 yrs. old Wheaten and people always ask me why I adopted him. Well your last paragraph sums it up. Senior dogs rock!
P.S. When my Cocker was 11 I was asked "are you going to put him down since he is so old?" And my answer to them was "are you going to put your kid down for being disrespectful and annoying?" I couldn't help myself.

Wonderful article. As the owner of a now deceased golden retriever bitch I understand this. I was lucky that my dog didn't show clear aging signs (she actually died of cancer at the young age of 10). I wanted to share a "happy" thought. She had been my companion for 10 years, from 17 to 27, for the last two years she had been sleeping at the feet of my bed, and had been with me constantly. It's complicate to say what I went through when she died, but I will tell you that all of my friends and family, even those who are not dog-people, were there for me. I was deeply moved by this. I wish for everyone to have family and friends so caring in time of need. I just wanted to say this, to share that not all is lost, there are still people in this world who are sensitive enough to care.

I have quite a mouth on me. I've been confronted with this issue countless times; my 14 yr. old Bernese looks 108 - his approx. age, right? He walks slow and sometimes stops and thinks about something. Yes, don't we all. A neighbor (who has beloved dogs of her own) asked me, "How long do you think he has left?" My inner voice asked her "How long do you have left?" My outer voice said aloud;" As long as he wants." Another person became sad and said, " Poor dog". I said he's doing great actually, his arthritis is manageable and he's handling growing older just as we do - please don't be sad - he'll pick up on that - pet him, love him, that's what he's waiting for." She thanked me for teaching her how to 'act' - she didn't know. And thank you for this article.

this is most timely...although I could have missed the tears I shed. My wonderful dog had his 4th birthday yesterday...It was completely bittersweet to me... I know I will grieve unbelievably for him when his time comes...and I must say I am more afraid of missing him, than my own old age which is coming upon me. He has and does mean the world to me, and I am so grateful for him. I was explaining this to my Dr. recently, (who helped me get him, and knows him well) and his response was the simple "It is better to have loved and lost" My dog has changed my life.

I lost my 15 year old Border Collie two months ago. Both my mother (who is 93!) and sister told me I should have put her down (their words)long ago. At some point, when I can say it without bursting into tears, O plan to tell my sister never to say that to any friend of hers in a similar situation. Unlike me, her sister, they will never speak to her again.

I am currently living with 4 senior dogs - an 18 yr old dachshund, a 14 yr old bichon, an 8 yr old St. Bernard, and an 11 yr old mastiff. We always adopt seniors. I don't care how long we have with them or what we have to do to take care of their needs as they age. I only care that they have a loving home in which to live out their last years in peace and that they cross the bridge knowing they are loved as much as a human is capable of loving anything. It is heart-wrenching to have to say goodbye, but so worth it to have had that time with them.

What an awesome article. Grandma and caretaker of an almost 16 year old bichon, Daisy, I am writing through tears...these are the sweetest days. I live in a Sun City community designated for people 55 and older who understand the vulnerability of aging so it has been much easier as days go on. Walks around our house are major forays for Daisy Doodle as walking has become a bit difficult beyond that. People do comment on her age but in an admiring and compassionate way and for that I am grateful. Thanks again. We r preparing and your article helped.

I actually see it in another way. I am a super dedicated animal lover and animal advocate. You sound like a good owner. Not everyone is. Sometimes they are ignoring a dogs hair loss, leaving a dog in too hot of a car, dragging an older obviously tired and overheated animal on a walk that needs to be stopped. In 110 degree weather I paged a man in the grocery store who left his lab in the car. He told me it was 'None of my business" I felt it was my business. So lighten up. Some of the comments are well meaning AND I'm never offended when someone points something out to me about my animal. I'm all over everything about him, but another animal lover cannot automically assume that. He's 12 and in good health..and yes..I will be lucky if I have him for another few years. Everyone knows that. If someone brings it up, I smile and say true, we are enjoying every minute. If he looks like he is not enjoying, then the person needs to be told. None of it is about us sister, it is all about them. It's not when YOU are ready to let go. It is the owners responsibility to take themselves out of the equation and let the animal go when they are ready. Some owners need to be monitored and I applaud those people willing to get involved and analyze the situation thus, putting the owner on notice. It's an animal who can't speak for itself, it is always my business.

I lost my first show champion, and best and all-my-heart dog, a lovely Irish Setter with the ordinary name of Casey, at the age of 13. That dog has been gone five years now, but I still grieve like it was just yesterday. Casey of the ordinary name, but not-so-ordinary life was the dog of a lifetime for me. I have five dogs now - and three are Irish Setters - one is Casey's great-grandson. Each is precious and special in his own way. My oldest now, is Ch Merlin - a Rusticwood dog, who is now 7.5 years old - he is unique among any I have ever had. Anxious, doesn't like being touched except by family, bread-stealer, chicken-herder, storm-whiner, belly-acher-when-he's-outside-aloner. There is wild and crazy Stone - now nearly four - who gives crazy a bad name - sweet, loving, wild, crazy, escape-artist, Houdini, runner-amoker, be-gone-five-miles-away-hunting-not-even-knowing-it's-10-degrees-outsider-don't-make-me-com-inner dog, and sweet adorable peanut-dog, Jimmy the Peanut - I-have-to-be-higher-than-everybody-elser dog, what-can-I-climb-up-on-to-be-king-of-the-mountain-er dog, snuggler-panter-in-your-facer dog.
I hate to see them get old.

Susan, a comforting and supportive article, thank you. I just lost my dearest friend after 14 1/2 years and had endured some of the attitudes you describe. The last paragraph really reached into my heart about the "absolute critical sweetness." Your thoughtful and true comments hold much meaning and personal significance for me at this difficult time in my life. Very best wishes.

Susan, I thoroughly enjoyed your article. I can completely relate. I made a decision to put my dog down about six weeks ago. He was 15 years and eight months and had a great life (except for year prior to me adopting him). But when he was 13 and 14 we had skin issues until we got the right meds. He also had a dysfunction of one of his legs due to damaged nerves and limped along (more often than not as time went on). I also received a lot of unsolicited, unwanted comments. On the other hand I received compliments on how great he looked for his age, which more than made up for the negative commentary. Your article, particularly during a time of grief, shed a little warmth and gentle humor into what was and is a devastating personal loss, and I'm sure your other readers feel similarly if they own an aging or recently departed best friend. Thank you!

HELP- I have a 15 year old senior dog, a ShiuTzu- we rescued him from our next door neighbors when he was 13- they were taking him to the pound-I said no, we will take him- which we did and could not love him more if we had had him since a pup- he is now, blind, can't hear and has seizures on occasion- the issue is grooming-- my groomer lets me stay with and hold him while she grooms him- I bathe him at home before we go-- it is getting tougher and tougher to do-he fights like a little tiger and he gets so upset he had a seizure today-- he can't not have a bath - so what is the best way to bathe him without getting him so upset-I have never had a furry who lived to be this old. All of my dogs have been rescues and have not lived beyond 14 yrs.. I can't put him through that ever again. I could ask my vet for a small sedative I guess, but Oscar has a bad heart so not sure that would be good for him, but then getting so upset is not either.. any ideas on how to handle this-thanks....

He CAN "not have a bath". As long as you can keep his face clean (folds, eyes, etc.), not having a bath will not have any adverse health effects. If his coat is very long, have it taken down to a manageable length (an inch and half or two inches). You can use pre-moistened grooming cloths, and a soft brush on him, on a regular basis, at home, and keep him nice and fresh without the bath. Just brush him and stroke him gently with the disposable grooming cloths (no rinsing necessary); you can even part his hair and stroke his skin clean. Go slowly and gently, and perhaps include treats in the grooming process, and he'll be clean and NOT having a seizure from this.

i am sad about my dog right now. one of my earliest memories is being 7 years old and picking him out from the breeder. it was not hard he was running around with 2 of his brothers playing tag(maybe a a couple months old or less im not sure) and we walked through the gate Hero came right up to us(my mom and i) to check us out. and has beeen my best friend ever since. now im 22 and hes turning 16 this year. a couple months last year and all of this year i have not been living at home. Noe one will walk him and my parents refuse to let me pay someone to do it. last time i walked him the neighbor were saying what a cute puppy he is...

I've adopted two female senior greyhounds in the past 10 years. It's hard to have a thing for seniors because they break your heart fast. I consider myself lucky, because my first made it to almost 14 years and my current hound is 13. If we're out walking, people will comment on how skinny my hound is. Greyhounds are skinny anyway, but unlike most dogs they lose weight as they age, instead of gaining it. I've practically been accused of not feeding my first hound, Gracie, when it turned out she had undiagnosed gastric cancer. I wish people would realize that this is a breed that just gets thinner with age. Maybe that would help.

Insomnia is an inability to sleep well. A person with insomnia may have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or may wake up earlier than desired, resulting in symptoms such as daytime fatigue, irritability, and poor memory.
Short-term (temporary) insomnia lasting from a day to a month is very common. An occasional restless night may be caused by a period of emotional distress or sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. Ongoing (chronic) insomnia lasts a month or more and can cause significant distress. Chronic insomnia can be caused by many other conditions, such as depression, chronic pain, medicines, poor sleep habits, or even worrying about sleeping.
Treatment for insomnia focuses on the cause of the inability to sleep well. Insomnia caused by a medical problem usually goes away after the problem is treated. Treatment options include minor lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, and short-term use of medicines.

'Pacific Rim' a rock-'em, sock-'em revelation
By Boston Globe: Ty Burr on July 11, 2013
It's an image as mythic as it is commercial: a metal giant so immense you have to stretch your brain to take it all in, snorting and stomping and outfitted with ingenious weaponry, and sequestered deep inside — unimaginably tiny amid the clanging machinery — the humans who control it with their minds.
As a metaphor for the state of modern Hollywood filmmaking, that's hard to beat.
As the springboard for a muscular pop vision, it's pretty impressive, too. "Pacific Rim" is, hands down, the blockbuster event of the summer — a titanic sci-fi action fantasy that has been invested, against all expectations, with a heart, a brain, and something approximating a soul.

Rich Gelfond: IMAX boss who started off shining shoes
By BBC News: Shanaz Musafer on June 23, 2013
As an eight-year-old boy Rich Gelfond used to shine shoes to earn some money.
At 16 he was running his own newspaper in New York, with a circulation of about 25,000. The paper attracted national advertisers and he would walk up and down Madison Avenue selling space.
As someone who showed such entrepreneurial spirit as a child, it is perhaps not surprising that he has ended up running a large and successful business.
Some 50 years on from his shoe-shining days, Mr Gelfond is now chief executive of IMAX, the giant-screen, high-resolution cinema chain.

Off to See 'The Wizard of Oz,' in 3-D and IMAX, Oh My!
By USA Today: Scott Bowles on June 03, 2013
After dazzling audiences 75 years ago, 'The Wizard of Oz' returns for a one-week run in September in 3-D and on IMAX screens, part of a studio movement to remaster the classics.

LOS ANGELES — There's no place like a restored home.
Nearly 75 years after its dazzling Technicolor debut, The Wizard of Oz will be converted to 3-D and IMAX for a one-week theatrical run in September, Warner Bros. and IMAX officials will announce Tuesday.
The restoration marks the film industry's highest-profile conversion yet of a 2-D classic. Already, studios have remastered films including Titanic, Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
But Oz "is as iconic as they come," says Greg Foster, chairman and president of Imax Entertainment. "It was one of the first movies that truly came out at you with an explosion of color."
Studio execs hope to come at audiences with an enhanced look at the yellow brick road: namely, digitally enhanced sound and images to bring Dorothy and company into 3-D and IMAX's colossal format. Warner Bros. quietly remastered the film for months before bringing the reel to IMAX for a test run.

Beta last Wed (11dpo)- 16
Beta 48hrs later (13dpo)- 32
Beta 72hrs later (16dpo)- 51
I started bleeding/cramping like a regular af at 10dpo. It continued for 6 days like af usually would and I'm still spotting (10days total). I stopped taking prometrium on Monday when I got the results of my 3rd beta because it did not appear my pg was viable. I assumed the bleeding would pick up and the miscarriage would be complete.
I called my midwife this morning for misoprostol to get things going since my body has a tendency to take it's time...with my last loss I bled/cramped for 7wks and went on bc to stop the bleeding when my hcg reached 7. She didn't bother to get back with me and won't be in the office again until next Thursday (yeah, she's a real gem).
Anyway, I took an hpt this afternoon to see if my levels were coming down...I expected a faint positive since it was late afternoon urine and pretty clear. It is the darkest test I've gotten (19dpo) http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/...ncy-test119977
So do I try to get a hold of my midwife for a beta, see someone else, or wait it out?? Help me think this out ladies

For a video explanation of multiple myeloma, watch What is Multiple Myeloma? with Dr. Morrie Gertz of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
Multiple myeloma is an unusual and complex disease. The diagnosis is often not clear-cut and the treatment recommendations can vary from doctor to doctor. None of this is too reassuring for a newly-diagnosed patient. However, with appropriate testing and review:
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is committed to helping with each of these steps. This handbook provides a basic understanding of myeloma sufficient to allow patients to make informed decisions about treatment choices. The handbook is supplemental to the information given by the doctor. Caregivers, family, and friends may also find the information useful.

Journaling reads: Our next stop along this lovely route is The Connecticut Audubon Society Center at Pomfret. This is where you can access the hiking trails at Bafflin Sanctuary, a property with nearly 700 acres of unspoiled natural beauty. I could spend days exploring this gorgeous countryside!

All the music I have bought in the past few years has been kid music.
I didn't find out until now that I have the rest of the week off. We have been stressing about how to take care of the kids while my mom is gone. DH was thinking about working from home and trying to get S. in to preschool an extra couple of days, but he was sick last week and would be missing a bunch of meetings and deadlines. My mom said she would like us to come to Wisconsin enough to pay for the plane tickets, but obviously we can't go since we would have had to be leaving now and I didn't know I had the time off work.
I think they were probably working on it, but it took a long time to find people to cover all of my shifts, especially over a weekend. I'm glad I didn't wait for them to get back to me before telling my mom to get her tickets.

It's a new production of old-time favorite "Rent," and Fox 5 was invited to an impromptu rehearsal.
This version has an unlikely cast: a teacher, real estate agent, a pharmaceutical scientist and others. In fact, this production is architectural designer Jo Walker's first time ever on stage.
Jo and the rest of the cast are part of the AfterWork Theater Project, now in its second season. As its name suggests, it is comprised mostly of professionals with day jobs.
"While we put on a really quality show that's not our focus, our focus is making sure our participants are really getting enriching, fun community experience out of the process," said Evan Greenberg, the founder of the AfterWork Theater Project.
There are no auditions for these productions. Anyone can join and be on stage, although there is a sliding tuition fee. It averages about $495 a person. Despite the cost, it seems a growing number of amateur actors are willing to pay for the chance to be in the spotlight.
"You kind of have to audition for everything in New York, which puts it out of the realm for people like me," said Jo, who has three small roles in "Rent." "The idea you can find a way in, even if it's just a tiny part in an ensemble is fantastic."
AfterWork Theater Project's production of "Rent" premieres Saturday night.

Results of 2D Boy's 'Pay What You Want' World of Goo Sales Experiment ReleasedTaking a page from Radiohead, World of Goo developer 2D Boy used the game's one-year anniversary to run a sale that allowed customers to name the price of the game before buying--right down zero dollars.
While a large number of people paid under $2, the average price factored out to $2.03, with a few generous souls giving as much as $50. The sale resulted in pushing some 57,000 copies of the year-old game, generating over $114,000 as determined by the average price.
2D Boy also ran a short survey, asking users how much they paid, their reasoning, and what they think the game should be worth normally.
"One thing that the survey data might suggests is that despite there being a lot discussion around what games are worth and the dollar value of an hour of play, few people chose their price based on the perceived value of the game," wrote 2D Boy's Ron Carmel on the company's blog. "How much the person feels they can afford seems to play a much larger role in the decision than how much the game is worth."

Please allow me to introduce you to my sweet grandmother, Susana Redondo Feldman. She passed away on July 1, three months shy of what would have been her 100th birthday. My Abuelita (Spanish for granny) was an amazing woman, and hers was a life well-lived. Before suffering a broken hip a few months ago, she was as energetic at 99 as any woman half her age. Even as she neared the end, she helped others who did not have her physical ability. Abuelita loved life, loved her family, and loved teaching. Before the onset of dementia she was still grading my sports reports (always an A+!). The best tribute I can give her is to share a school report written five years ago by my daughter, Kristi, about her great-grandmother. Here are some excerpts from that report:
SUSANA FELDMAN de REDONDO September 27, 1913 - July 1, 2013 BORN TO TEACHThe Cuban summer was sweltering, the sky endless, and the ocean breeze blew through her hair as she ran with her brothers and sisters to the station to watch the train go by. The locomotive would soon be rounding the corner, making their hearts race with excitement and filling their minds with wonder. Who would be on the train? What would it be carrying? It never really mattered. As she tells me the story ninety years later, all she cared about was that she was with the people she loved most. It was my great-grandmother's fondest and most vivid childhood memory. Her name is Susana Feldman de Redondo, born September 27, 1913 in Colon, Cuba. The occasion of Mothers Day gave me the opportunity to go back in time with one of the most fascinating people I know.Young Susana's father was the chief engineer of the American sugar plant, Dominos. Her father, Alberto, was educated in Spain and came to Cuba to establish his career. Typical of the times, he discouraged educations for his daughters, thinking they would make better use of their time preparing to be good homemakers. His wife, the former Esperanza Bernal would have none of that. She made it her life's mission to see that her children, especially her daughters, would be properly educated. My great grandmother would prove to be the hungriest and most eager of her siblings to learn and study. But this love of education would come at a price. When her parents moved to the province of Camaguey, she was enrolled in a Havana boarding school where she remained until graduation. Her studies would define her life. While she would go on to marry my great-grandfather, Ignacio Molina, she continued her studies, eventually earning her PhD in Pedagogy.On March 4, 1934, Susana gave birth to my grandmother, who she would give the family name, Susana. Eleven years later, the family of three packed up and moved to New York City, USA so that Ignacio could take his medical boards. Unfortunately, a year after moving to America, an affair would end the marriage, leaving Susana and my then twelve-year-old grandmother to fend for themselves in the big city. A single mother who spoke little English, Susana did what she could to survive. She took a factory job sewing toy clowns for a time before landing a job as a secretary in the Spanish Department at Columbia University. At night she continued her studies and would eventually earn her second PhD. Susana continued to work as a secretary during the day, but was now teaching Spanish at Columbia at night. Again, her studies came with a price. Susana would have to leave her daughter in a boarding school without seeing her for long stretches at a time. These were tough days for mother and daughter. But when I asked her how she managed to get through that period of her life, she simply said, "when someone is young and has energy, they do what they have to do."Susana Redondo's hard work paid off when she was made a full professor at Columbia. It was then that her life began to take an exciting and romantic turn for the better. On the first day of class one of her students, a New Jersey boy by the name of Kenneth Feldman (who my father was named after), asked her out on a date. After explaining then, and many times thereafter that she did not date her students, he never gave up. As she told me the stories of their first encounters she whispered to me, "he was very cute!" Kenneth Feldman eventually got his wish on the very last day of class, when he turned in his paper and proclaimed, "don't you think I've worked hard enough for that date?!" The rest became the sort of history that one would find in a romance novel. Of course, they married. And the credit for this union should once again be given to her life's work. Like her own father, Kenneth Feldman was an engineer. His work would take them both around the world over and over again. They lived in Spain, and in several countries in South America. Susana and Kenneth visited so many countries around the world that she said to me, "it would be easier to tell you where we have not been!" One of those places was India, where Kenneth refused to go because several of his colleagues were killed there. "I would have enjoyed that trip," she said. Spain would prove to be a home away from home. While Kenneth worked with an engineering company in Madrid, Susana was busy publishing a magazine. They were leading an exciting life. But by 1962, they felt the tug of home calling them back. Their new grandson, Kenny was a year old and a second was on the way. The two were enthusiastic, energetic and loving grandparents. Their days together, living in the same apartment, remain joyful memories to this day. But her work continued at Columbia. Susana, who had only a few short years before worked as a secretary, eventually became the head of the Hispanic Institute at Columbia University. She would not only teach, but by then, was publishing a monthly magazine that was distributed worldwide. Her love of teaching kept her commuting from New Jersey to New York City well into her 80's and without a paycheck. She was even honored by the city of New York for her accomplishments and received many other accolades during her career. Susana simply couldn't imagine life without her work. but priorities changed when Kenneth became ill in 2000. For six years she never left his side. The two continued to carry on like inseparable teenager lovers, even sharing their traditional martini for "happy hour" until his death two years ago. Now 96 years old, she has since joined us in Georgia where we get to see her more often. The tears flow easily when the subject of Grandpa (Kenneth) comes up. Susana remains a teacher at heart, taking interest in our schoolwork and plans for the future. Her mind is not as focused as it once was, often breaking into "spanglish" when speaking to me. Does she miss Cuba? "Yes, always," she answers. "But a woman has more freedom in the United States. So, I am lucky to be here." I listen to her intently as she flows from one subject to another - talking about the way things were and how fortunate she is to know her great-grandchildren. But I am the lucky one! What a treasure this woman is! All of her experiences. They have been resources for me, and her life an inspiration. She encourages me to study and to work hard to fulfill my dreams. Her own life is an example of someone who persevered through tough times and succeeded. A single mom, a new country, learning a new language, un-forgiving big city and what the power of education can help you achieve. Any regrets? Only that she wasn't around enough to teach me Spanish. Otherwise, "no, this is my life," she answered. "I never look back. I just think about happy things." She smiles. It's the familiar smile of a Cuban girl who spent too much time chewing on sugar cane. Many teeth missing! I could just stare and listen to her for hours at a time. Sometimes she repeats a story she told only minutes before. But everything about the way she speaks and addresses you is done in a loving and teaching way. Her eyes. Her hands. Her expressions. No wonder Grandpa fell in love with her. When she tells a story, it is as though I am instantly transported to another time. When she describes the countries she has visited, she takes the times to describe every interesting detail of the culture. The way they pronounced their words. Native dances. The food. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be in her classroom. How her students saw her. What they took from her lessons and life experiences. Harry Truman said, "I studied the lives and great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work." This quote made me think of my great-grandmother. And though she is not working anymore, she is still teaching with energy and enthusiasm. It saddens me to know that she won't be with us forever. It's nearly bedtime for Susana Feldman de Redondo, and her mind begins to drift as she recounts those sunny days of her youth in Cuba. Running with her brothers and sisters past the beach and sugar cane fields that led to that train station. What were those trains carrying? What sort of people would they meet? Her life has been one glorious adventure ever since.
----------------------While sadness fills my heart, I feel blessed to have known her and to have been loved by her. I miss you Abuelita.K-Rod

Comments On Nov 02, 2013:So I've always just used windex or dish soap before but I decided to try this out since I needed to bump up an order to get free shipping. Just mounted a new Bridgestone 404 and I didn't have any trouble mounting it up. Didn't even leave the tire in the sun first just put it on. This stuff works great. A little goes a long ways so a bottle will probably last for dozens of tire changes.

While the approval and funding process of a new purchase or refinance mortgage has several moving parts, this article should help you put the basic time line in perspective.
1. Loan Application –
This is where the loan officer spends a little time over the phone or at the office with a potential borrower discussing their lending scenario, financial goals, and required documentation. Depending on the amount of information requested by both parties, a typical loan application generally can take between 15 minutes to an hour.
2. Pre-Approval –
A pre-approval lets the borrower know how much they can qualify for, and is issued once the loan officer has verified income, assets, and credit. As lending guidelines continue to change, most loan officers will take the pre-approval a step further and run a full online Fannie Mae (DU) or Freddie Mac (LP) automated underwriting approval to make sure the borrower has an additional layer of confidence prior to shopping for a new home.
Keep in mind, DU or LP approvals are not considered full underwritten approvals, unless an underwriter has physically analyzed the submitted documentation. Every bank has their own quality control systems for this process, but the average time it should take for a full underwritten approval is 24 – 48 hours. So basically, it is a good idea to get everything in and wait an extra day or so for an underwriter to issue a full approval.
3. Loan Search / Good Faith Estimate –
Once a pre-approval has been issued, it is important that the lender and borrower agree on the actual terms of the new mortgage prior to submitting offers on a new property. A Good Faith Estimate is a form that outlines the interest rate, down payment, purchase price / loan amount, and other estimated closing costs so that the borrower can make an educated decision.
Even though the GFE is an "Estimate" based on the predisclosed costs of the new loan, there are several things that the loan officer doesn't have control over. Make sure you ask your loan officer what specific line items you can expect to be consistent or change prior to closing.
4. Purchase Offer –
Depending on which market you are in, the purchase offer and acceptance process can be an entirely new beast to deal with. Short Sales, Bank Owned (REO), and Rehab properties may take several weeks of negotiation before a perceived win / win deal is reached. It is important to hire a full-time real estate professional who is familiar with the landscape and knows how to navigate these types of transactions.
Recent neighborhood sales, pending foreclosures, and the actual terms of the purchase agreement are a few things that you need to pay close attention to before you commit to putting a sizable earnest money deposit down.
4. Due Diligence Period –
This is time, as defined in the purchase agreement, that the borrower and seller have to complete all inspections, appraisal, review HOA / Title documents, and anything else that may have an impact on the successful closing of the purchase transaction.
5. Appraisals / Inspections Completed –
Typically, the appraisal and home inspection are paid for in advance by the borrower and have to be completed within 10 days of an accepted offer. The mortgage company orders the appraisal, and the buyer's agent generally handles the logistics of the property inspection. Most borrowers like to be present at the time of the home inspection, however, the appraisal is handled privately by a third party appraiser.
6. Final Conditions Submitted to Bank –
The appraisal, preliminary title report, and any addition borrower documents are submitted to an underwriter for final approval. This process takes 24-48 hours and is the final step, other than a loan lock, needed to order closing documents.
Proof of hazard insurance is also required prior to ordering loan documents. Some mortgage programs allow a borrower the option of including their quarterly real estate tax payments and annual hazard insurance premium in the monthly mortgage payment by establishing a separate escrow (impound) account. Make sure you know what your total monthly mortgage payments include before ordering documents.
7. Loan Lock –
Mortgage rates have a tendency to change a few times a day depending on market conditions and adjusting credit / bank guidelines. It is important to regularly communicate with your loan officer to make sure you get the rate and closing cost scenario that you have budgeted for.
Some brokers have the ability to change banks or negotiate a lower rate if things change for the better, but you are ultimately putting full trust in your loan officer when it comes to the rate game. Basically, make sure you work with a loan officer that believes in full disclosure, communication, and transparency.
Rates can be locked between 7 – 90 days. A good rule of thumb, the shorter the lock period, the lower the interest rate. Since a .125% adjustment in rate may only impact your monthly payment by a few dollars, it is a good idea to find a rate you are comfortable with and lock as soon as possible. With the rapid fluctuations in pricing due to the turbulence on Wall Street, rates could move .5% in a matter of hours causing monthly payments and closing costs to significantly change.
8. Final Loan Documents Signed -
The final loan documents are delivered to an escrow or title company for preparation. The borrowers will either sign with an escrow officer, or meet an approved notary at a convenient location. The signing generally takes about 1 – 2 hours, depending on the amount of questions the borrower has about the transaction.
If there is additional funds to close, like a down payment or closing costs not covered by the seller, the borrower will bring a certified check to the escrow company. Make sure your loan officer knows where these funds are coming from so that there is a proper paper trail the underwriter will approve.
The final property inspection is also completed during this time. If there are things that still need to be fixed before the you agree to close on the purchase, let your loan officer know to hold off on funding. Unless the rate or documents are set to expire
9. Funding / Recording-
Once the final documents have been signed by the borrowers they are shipped back to the bank for a quick inspection and then set in line for funding. A wire is sent from the lender through a few places and eventually ends up at the escrow company.
Since this process may take a few hours, it is common to hear about a delay between the time a bank "Funds" a loan and an escrow company "Records" a closing.

My husband and I volunteered with a dog rescue group for many, many years and I have to tell you, we wouldn't have given you a fourth dog either. We have three dogs ourselves. It is a huge commitment and expense, and when the inevitable happens, it's a huge heartbreak.
First, it takes a ton of money and time to commit to one dog, let alone four. I don't know that I would have trusted one of my foster dogs to get the love and care he or she deserved if there were already three other dogs in the house. At some point, what you have are cattle, not companions.
Second, it's not always in the dogs' interest to have a larger group. We have one female and two males, and have had no problems. But our girl did not always appreciate new females in the house, even if the males were okay with it. And, as they got older, they hated puppies! Not the babies so much, but the hyperactive adolescents drove them nuts.
Third, most cities have ordinances that limit the number of dogs you can have, usually to three. So, if for no other reason, it would generally be illegal for you to have a fourth dog.
Believe me, we've had dogs come back from people who begged to adopt them, then treated them like dirt. Our group also had to rescue many animals from hoarders during the years. It's something you don't forget.
But in your case, it looks like Charlie found a good home.
