With consumer frustration mounting over quality problems, Chobani Inc., of upstate New York, is now voluntarily recalling some of its Greek yogurt products. Thousands of consumers have complained of bloated and swollen containers with spoiled yogurt inside.
The company said it is investigating the root cause of the quality problems, but CEO Hamid Ulukaya said a mold commonly found in dairy facilities was the likely culprit. He said that the mold became a problem because Chobani doesn't use preservatives in its products, the AP reported.
The recall, which affects products shipped from its Idaho facility, is voluntary and was only announced Thursday. Up until now, consumers had been flooding the company's Facebook page with complaints saying that Chobani had not been communicating with either them or retailers fast enough. The company had said most of the recalled products had been pulled from shelves, but many commentators on its Facebook complained that their local shops were still carrying the spoiled yogurt and weren't even aware of the unofficial (and now official) recall.
The recalled products have best by date codes of "Sep 11 –13" to "Oct 07-13" (four-digit time stamp) and an IMS code of 16-012. These are the cup sizes:
If you have purchased any of the recalled yogurt cups, you should throw them away, Chobani said. You can try to contact customer service at chobani.com/care or 877-847-6181, but the web traffic has been so heavy that the site appears to be suffering outages.
"The quality of Chobani products and the trust of its consumers are the company's primary concern, and it sincerely apologizes to its consumers impacted by this issue," the company said in a statement. "Chobani holds itself to the highest standards and is committed to fully transparent and decisive action to rectify any identified issues."

I don't either, Chrissy!
I hope you can work out those charges and get it back to your account. Money is so stressful. We are struggling right now too and it sort of follows one around like a little cloud doesn't it? I can't wait for dbf to start that job and have a steady paycheck. Today he has a few things to do for an elderly couple that pays him for home repairs so that will buy some groceries!

TAMPA, FL (RNN) - As Republican National Convention activities officially get underway, the party often called the party of old, white men features a serious influx of girl power at the podium.
Women of all stripes command high-profile speaking spots at this year's RNC.
Condoleezza Rice, the first black woman to serve as secretary of state, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the first female governors of their respective states, will fire up Republicans in prime time.
Martinez is the also the first female Hispanic governor in the U.S. Haley is the youngest sitting governor in the country and the daughter of immigrants.
"I think it says a lot about South Carolina that they elected a 38-year-old Indian-American female...but I also think it says a lot about our country. This is the country of opportunity," Haley said.
Other speaking slots go to New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte - often rumored to have been on Romney's vice presidential short list - Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, the first female AG in the state's history, and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.
Tuesday night, Ann Romney will tell the country about the man she has called the love of her life since 1969.
Dr. Rebecca Deen, associate professor of political science at the University of Texas at Arlington, said the larger strategy is aimed at creating broad-based appeal among women voters in hopes of drawing them to the polls in November.
"What they're trying to do with this constellation of speakers is, it's the buffet approach. There's something there for everyone," Deen said.
"It's also sends the message the Republican Party is a big tent, it's inclusive of women of all different stripes."
Numbers show Republicans need to expand that tent if they want to unseat President Barack Obama.
According to the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, 56 percent of women voted for Obama and 43 percent for McCain in 2008.
Women also turned out to the polls in higher percentages - 53 percent of the total vote came from women, 47 percent from men.
The GOP hopes to appeal to women through economics and avoid social issues to promote the message that President Obama's economic policies have failed the nation - particularly women. Organizers will hold a briefing on the impact of Obama's economy on women sometime this week.
"Obama's economic policies have failed our entire nation, but women have been disproportionately affected," said Rae Lynne Chornenky, president of the National Federation of Republican Women.
Haley hopes four years later - with a diverse roster representing the party - Americans will notice a GOP that speaks to them.
"I want people to know the Republican Party is changing. We're appealing to more people about business and debt and children and healthcare and more people are moving over to our side, especially minorities," Haley said.
"We've still got some work to do, but what I hope people realize is how far we've come. We've come so far in our country. We see women CEOs and you see minorities that are moving in great places. We don't have the divisions we used to have but that doesn't mean we should stop improving on where we are and how far we want to go."

Visitors should be sure to try the local food, and there are a lot of good traditional restaurants to choose from, many of which also provide live entertainment.Coffee shops, both traditional and modern, are popular meeting places, and seem to appear on almost every street. Also, because the Jordanian people are particularly fond of sweet things, there are many excellent patisseries. Several international fast food chains are represented in Amman.

IIt seems Fall/Autumn is everywhere so lets think of all the gorgeous colors you see. I live in a part of australia where we are not lucky enough to see much of the the changes of season. It is a shame as I LOOOOVVEEEE autumn trees, seeing the leaves drop and seeing the new growth. I don't have room for a big deciduous tree so live vicariously through looking at other people's photos and occasionally seeing them on my travels.
So the challenge this month is to think about autumn - the colors of glorious orange and red trees.
Think beyond autumn trees if you wish. Maybe the autumn of your life ? or just use the colors rather then the trees. Feel free to get creative and try some art journalling or digital artwork if you wish.
Here is some inspiration. I took these photos in Hohenschwangau Bavaria in late September 2006.
There are heaps of wonderful Autumn products n the store.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Just wanted to tell you that you inspire me. I went to your archive because those are my favorite tavi blogs. I trashed half of my blog and made it more personal. I loved the blog you wrote about in your closet. I loved the wood ladder with paint all over it. I also loved the one about how your hair looked like a loaf of bread. You make me so happy. You are a treasure!

Um, can I hug you? You're 14 and you know who Louis Bourgeois is (and love her)? You win Best Human Award.
I miss her terribly. She was such an inspiration, and I always secretly wished I could go to one of her salons and have her rip apart my work just so I could bask in the awesomeness that (still is) Bourgeois.

I wrote a response about the death of Louise and the death of artists, but also (and mostly) about that enigmatic feminine body-ness about her work, and a lot of other artists' work. You'll like it, it has zines, 'cause I once wrote a zine about enigmatic feminine body-ness in zines and in art.
I can send you a copy of the whole zine someday when I make more copies of it. I'm out!

And I thought she would live forever... she had such a strong presence in the female art world and continues to with her enormous sculptures. Truely inspiring woman.

tavi, she was a great mind and you are so sweet to respect her and say aurevoir. thank you for that.
i was exactly at your age when i saw her work, "maman" the giant spider, in istanbul biennial and i felt like hugging a spider for the first time in my life. i was so into mythology back then. the spider, mother of fine arts, was there in an ancient byzantine church with all her glory. i guess it was a moment of feeling what artists are capable of, how they can relate to one's inner soul. a feeling of infinity.

Scenes for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII are to be filmed in Scotland, according to The Sun, in the highlands and the Isle of Skye. No clue where that is? You've seen those places in films recently. Some of your favorite scenes from Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises used Scotland as a backdrop.
The terrain in Scotland is truly ideal for Star Wars. The rock formations could pass for a rocky surface of a planet. That's what JJ Abrams is hoping, anyway. We'll get to see for ourselves, but not until 2015. We may also get to see Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill. They've all hinted that they will be making a return.

By M.L. ElrickFox 2 Investigative Reporter
DETROIT (WJBK) -- Death again intruded on the Kilpatrick Inc. trial.
Perhaps it's to be expected during this seemingly interminable slog, but for at least the seventh time since testimony began back in September, the Grim Reaper has cast his shadow over people I have met, people I know and people close to me.
I'm not bringing this up to elicit sympathy. After all, I'm alive and well.
But this spate of largely premature passings has me thinking, again, how precious time is.
And I can't help wondering whether Kwame Kilpatrick shares my sense that each moment that passes represents a lost chance to spend time with people we care about.
Family, friends, familiar faces.
Souls who, without warning, we may never see alive again.
I am constantly asked why Kilpatrick, facing up to 20 years in prison, always appears so carefree.
That's not a completely fair assessment.
When a late restitution payment kept him from flying back to Dallas to make his youngest son's birthday party, he teared up while speaking with reporters.
On a couple other occasions, he seemed peeved to be put on the spot.
But, for the most part, he smiles, waves, hugs strangers he meets on the street and acts like the soundtrack of his life is an endless loop of Louis Armstrong's "We'll Have All the Time in the World."
Why else would he flaunt parole rules that could keep him from going home for the weekend or, worse, send him back to prison?
It could be strategic, as in "an innocent man has nothing to fear."
He could just be putting on a brave face.
Or maybe he's just plum crazy.
(In any case, Louis Armstrong is a bit before Kilpatrick's time -- he is 42 -- but it's worth noting that
"We Have All the Time in the World" provided an ironic coda to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." It played in the background as the normally callous James Bond held his newly-wed -- and newly-killed -- wife.)
As far as I know, Kilpatrick's only brush with the Grim Reaper during this trial has been tangential, consisting of the scary moment when defense attorney Gerald Evelyn suddenly folded in court and was taken away in an ambulance. Evelyn, the lead attorney for Kilpatrick best bud Bobby Ferguson, spent days in a hospital, delaying the trial for about two weeks.
For me, this sense that our time is fleeting has come through deaths both sudden and deliberate that have intruded into the bubble surrounding this trial.
First, there was court security officer Mike Jastremski, who died unexpectedly over Thanksgiving.
Then an accident led to the eventual passing of the elderly mother of Mike Clark, who, along with Drew Lane, wakes me up almost every morning to talk about the trial on WRIF (101.1 FM).
The death of Drew's step-son came next. It was most certainly the most jarring. Alex was a freshman at LSU and only 19 when he passed. I'd say more about it, but I still don't know what to say that has any meaning when someone so young is gone so soon.
I was so busy with the trial and all the ancillary issues that I almost missed the passing of long-time
Free Press photographer Hugh Grannum, a class act and true gentleman. Hugh was 72 and had a history of health problems, but the last time I saw him at church he looked as fantastic as ever.
My father-in-law's turn came last week. He was 88. Three times since 2005, I've sent my wife to say good-bye to her father. The first time came during the chaotic Kilpatrick re-election campaign when, after surviving a nasty fall in Montreal, he rallied after a long hospital stay and returned home and to his garden in Muskegon. The second was in the aftermath of the text message scandal, when he suffered a stroke during quadruple bypass surgery but pulled through. This last time, slowed by his other brushes with death, he finally just plain wound down.
(Footnote: Whatever you've heard about the toughness of those stocky little Greek guys -- and the drama at their funerals -- believe it!)
Before I could even get home to Detroit from Muskegon, I got the word my friend and adviser Mike
Novak had died at 57. It seemed like Mike was on the treadmill every time I spoke with him. He looked like a million bucks and was blessed with enough success earlier in his life that he spent his time doing things and working with people he enjoyed. He made everything he touched better. He often asked for nothing in exchange -- and rebuffed efforts to repay his kindness with anything other than kind words.
Tonight I will pay my respects to Mike and his family at a funeral home four doors down from my home.
I wish Mike was only in the neighborhood for a sip of Irish whiskey.
After "The Kwame Sutra" came out -- and it would not have, if not for Mike -- I bought small flasks that
I had engraved with the year, "2009," and one of my favorite Kilpatrick text messages to his chief of staff and lover, Christine Beatty.
It said: "It's on of eva fo sho."
If only that were true.

Local kids learn it's better to give than receive
Christmas may seem a little brighter this year as students attempt to brighten the mood of strangers with random acts of kindness, which is the focus of the "Light it Up" project.
Bethany Seals, who teaches English at Mt. Olive Christian School, saw the idea of doing random acts of kindness during the holiday season while browsing one of her favorite Web sites.
"I think most of my students are happy to participate," said Seals, who lives in Sibley. "They get very animated when we discuss their projects. The kids are really excited about this opportunity to do for others.
"Too often during Christmas time, students and adults a-like get focused on what they want," she continued. "This project reminds students to appreciate what they have and to think of others rather than being on the receiving end."
Participating in the "Light it Up" project will not earn a grade or bonus points for students.
"Their only accountability is to be honest," Seals said. "My students know how fortunate and blessed they are, so I did not hear any grumbling or disappointment when I asked them to participate."
While some projects are discussed between Seals and individual students, others become classroom discussion.
"They don't have to tell anyone what they did, but often we like to discuss it as a class," Seals said. "We like to discuss how a project made the student feel or the reaction of the person who was on the receiving end."
Some of Seals students have benefited in additional areas.
"I have a few students who are shy and this project has made them move outside their comfort level," Seals said.
On Saturday two of Seals' students took cookies to Pafford Emergency Medical Services workers in Minden.
"I was really happy about this project," said Natalie Jumper, who is in the sixth grade. "Mrs. Seals wanted us to make sure we were celebrating Christmas in a good way. It felt really cool to bless someone else."
The "Light it Up" project has changed the way Natalie looks at people and situations around her.
"It started by doing the project the first time, then I did another 'Light it Up' because it feels good," she said. "I picked up toys in my neighbor's yard and other things to be kind. 'Light it Up' has been a really cool project."
Elizabeth Stone, who is also in the sixth grade, shares Natalie's sentiments.
"I chose to thank Pafford because I was thankful for their service to the community," Elizabeth said. "I think what they do, saving lives, is important. It's really nice of them. It felt good to take them cookies. It's cool to see their smiles and hear them say thank you."
Elizabeth said she has an appreciation for the "Light it Up" project.
"It was really fun and I'm glad Mrs. Seals gave us this project," she said. "She thought it would be good for people to know the real feeling of Christmas not just the presents but the giving back.
"Christmas is about being thankful for what God gave you," Elizabeth continued. "Showing that to others by giving blessings to other people, as we have been given blessings, is important. I plan on making this a family tradition and doing it every year."
Seals said some of the students' projects have not gone as intended, but students were able to find a way to find a way to bless others.
"My student Abby Lechner babysat for someone at her church," Seals said. "She meant to sit for free, but the mother insisted on paying her. So Abby gave all her baby sitting money to the manger offering at the church."
While on a field trip, Seals students placed money in vending machines in a public place.
"So that who ever came along next, had an extra snack or saved some change," Seals said. "It's little thank yous or the unexpected things that can really brighten a person's day."
Other projects have included making and delivering Christmas cards to nursing home residents and a "thank you" note in the bathroom of an area discount store.
"Who really wants to clean the bathroom? A thank you note might make that employee's day," Seals said. "They may be feeling very under appreciated at home or work. Most everybody can use a thank you to brighten their day. For students to be able to recognize areas where they can be appreciative and share that with others is what this project is all about."

Eh I think everyone complains about the weather. If it is raining, they want it to stop, if it hasn't rained in a while, people complain about how we need the rain. Too hot, too hold, too cloudy, it's just an easy topic of conversation.
Need some advice here. This morning, B woke me up by telling me "Santi's not my friend anymore. Milly's my friend." I asked him a few questions to figure out what happened, but he just kept on repeating what he said. I guessed that Bodhi was the one doing the rejecting and tried to remind him of all the fun they had together (playdates on weekends, trips to the zoo/beach). But i think it might be the other way around. This is after a good 6 months of them being best friends, and I've gotten pretty close to the little boy's mother. I told DH about it, and he said, "oh, yeah. He said that to me the other day too. Santi plays with Shaun now. But yesterday, when I dropped B off, he ran in and the first thing he said was "Where's Santi?"
So I don't know how to handle this, and am not even sure what's going on - the frustrating part about not getting to be with him all day. I think B is pretty upset about the matter because he wanted to talk about it to me and sounded genuinely sad. A part of me wants to broker peace and make them be adorable little buddies again. If he did something hurtful to Santi, I want him to make it right. And if Santi just moved on and lost interest, I want him to get his friend back. Another part of me thinks this is a fact of life and a lesson in finding & keeping friends. I find this situation very heartbreaking, especially for someone so young and new to talking altogether. Then again, I might be taking it harder than my kid.
I'd talk to Santi's mom, especially since you guys have become friends. And any caregivers that might be privy to the dynamics between the kids. You can't make them be best buds again, but at least if you understand what's going on, you can maybe explain it to B in terms he might understand.
His buddy's mommy wrote me this morning anyway to tell me some cookies I bought from her older boy are ready. So I replied to her and added:
Have you noticed any difference in the boys' relationship? Just this morning, Bodhi's said a few things that make me wonder if there's a little-boy rift going on between the two of them. We'll have to get the boys together some time to see for ourselves. That's the crappy thing about not getting to be there all day to observe their interactions. I just hope Bodhi is playing nicely.
She's totally cool and mellow, and we'll still probably hang out anyway if the boys aren't thick as thieves anymore, so let's just see. it was just reassuring to know that they had each other while we couldn't be with them. This is practically a page out of the book 'Buddhism for Mothers' where the author talks about projecting your own childhood suffering and insecurities onto your kid (I lost my share of friends growing up) and causing yourself unnecessary suffering. I know there's a bit of that going on in me, so am just going to try to be level-headed about it on the outside and deal privately with my own feelings. I do want to help Bodhi understand and grow from his dealings with other people. Thanks for the advice, Kate & Suja.
I'm one of those cold-all-the-time people. DH sleeps in his undies and I'm covered in fleece under the blankets. My doctor took some blood test to make sure I didn't have some circulatory stuff going on and didn't find anything. So I guess I'm just a weather wimp too. (Actually, I was born in tropical weather, so I can withstand hot and muggy way better than DH can. I just almost never get to feel that climate except maybe when I'm in Bikram yoga. DH would hate it.)
Myles, it's really tough to say if 'something' happened or if it's just a phase. I can't count how many times my girls have each had their 'bff' change. They have the same group of friends, but their #1 partner changes frequently. Sometimes every few weeks, other times after a year or two. I usually let them handle it.
But I understand B is a lot younger. I think what you wrote to the mom is appropriate and definitely keep hanging out with her. As the years go by, they'll be good friends by default of how much time they spent together. This just might be a little cool period.
I'm always cold, too. Last night I was shivering under all of the covers next to my hot microwaved rice sack, and I looked over in the middle of the night and dh was sprawled naked with no covers on at all. I keep the house between 70 and 72 degrees, but if it's cool outside I can feel the heat getting sucked out of me. I need extra layers if it's below 74 degrees.
Mylah, as far as the friendships go, I have seen DD's friendships come and go with some regularity during the year. At first I was a little distressed to see one best friend suddenly be "Oh, we don't play together anymore." I would ask what happened, and there would never be one event. DD is pretty good about articulating what is going on, but she would say that the other girl just said she didn't want to play any more, or that she didn't want to be friends, or whatever. Sometimes my DD might be the responsible party, I think. All of this seemed to be somewhat upsetting but somewhat matter-of-fact when described to me. Recently, I told her she could try to win back a friend. Maybe give her a nice drawing. Invite her to play a special game with her. Think of something she does really well and tell her that she's good at it. Ask her if she could show her how to do it. I asked her at the end of the day if she did those things, and she said yes. "So, are you friends again?" "Yes." But she didn't sound excited. She's got other friends now. I do think that this is all part of learning, and I try to only meddle as much as she wants me to meddle.
Bridget, I hope you are able to have some fun and relaxation. Well, the doing no housework sounds like some decent fun!
And on the Bohdi friend issue, I totally understand. I don't even want to think about how hard it will be to not protect my little girl in the crazy drama-filled world of little girls. I try to explain to DH how nasty and mean little girls can be, and how it's different because girls use manipulation and backstabbing in ways boys almost never do. I experienced it when I was in school and witnessed it when I taught school, it's pretty frightening how young it starts too (I would say in second grade the cliques are well established). At least take heart that Bohdi is a boy, so I'm guessing most of his friend relationships will be pretty straightforward (friends until one of them punches the other one, rather than frenemies who start rumors and steal boyfriends).
Thank you all for your support. Every bit of advice, sympathy & BTDT story helps. Have a great weekend if I don't get to chat more with you.
Oh, but L, I hope I do see you. We'll be milling around the Blockbuster parking lot with my little croc prior to the parade.
I have your # plugged into my phone, L. I think we'll be around by 10, depending on bridge traffic. Except B tried on this penguin costume I thought he was still too little for and it fit fine and he really liked it, so I don't know if I'll have a penguin or a crocodile in tow tomorrow. Too bad I don't have the time to make his costume into a jackalope type of animal tomorrow - the pengodile, or crocguin.
I hosted the babysitting coop "happy hour" for my club tonight. The little babies were so adorable. Kiddies were in costume. Bodhi shared very nicely, except when he had to poop and made off with ALL the Play-doh in a big ball and shut everyone else out of his room. He gets a little territorial around that time. Heh.
One of the dads looked exactly like that blonde James Bond actor. I really couldn't stop staring. I think he & DH made a surfing connection, and I all I wanted to do was take a picture so I could ask you girls if you thought he looked like the actor.
I'm not sure what kind of costumes we're going to have, either. We have about 20 good costumes in our dress-up clothes bin, and all of a sudden they're not happy with any of them. I brought baby S. home a giraffe costume I got from another twin mom the other day, and the twins all of a sudden want new costumes, too. DD tried to squeeze herself into the giraffe costume, and complained that it tight in the shoulder and crotch area. I told her it was because it was too small. They could be tigers or panthers or cowgirls or cowboys or doctors or firefighters or unicorns or dragons or princesses or fairies or any number or things, but NO! If it's not new to them, it's worth throwing a fit over. My mom had me go get some size 2 overalls out of storage and told my 4-year-old DS that he could wear those and be a train engineer. I'm getting all Hallannoyed and it hasn't even started yet.
I'm not too bothered with the weather or temperature. We keep the house at 70 degrees or lower throughout the year. My hands and feet are always like ice, though!
Lol, Myles, at the James Bond comment. Shame you didn't get a picture.
Bridget, that would have freaked me out a little about those people. I hope their intentions weren't as sinister as they could be.
We had a play date yesterday with 2 other half American families. Both of their boys are older than mine and one of them can be such a swine sometimes. He's an only child and just doesn't interact as well with others as everyone else does. He kept grabbing toys from Travis and taunting him with them and taking Cash's paci off him and doing the same thing. And the annoying thing about it was that his mom was too busy chatting to do anything about it. I hate disciplining other people's kids when they are right there with them. It's so awkward.
We're off to a Halloween party tomorrow and handing out candy on Monday. Travis didn't want a costume, so I just bought him an orange t-shirt with a jack-o-lantern face on it.
Ash, I hate it too but I try to make light of it when I can..."Oh sweetie, let Travis have his toy. Maybe if you ask nice he'll let you play with it" in a honey-tone. I don't like humiliating anyone's kids, but I don't let stuff like that slide either. Not even if their parents are right there. I think it's harder for only children to learn how to share nice. And some people don't seem to know how to cope with it if they only have one child. Sometimes that's all it takes is me saying something a couple times to get the mother or father to notice. But yeah, it's not fun.
Yuck, that doesn't sound like fun, Ash. I know what you mean about disciplining other people's kids.
Myles, wish I could have been there to see your James Bond look-alike!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Swine! Lol, Ash. I like that and will store it away for future use. I correct other children's behavior if their parents don't. For sure. Very nicely, of course.
We are home early. We ran out of money. Everything is so expensive! We really had a good time. The kids were crying when we left because they weren't ready to leave. My kids have such an incredibly hard time with transitions it's nuts! They are both happy now.
I need some advice from you ladies that probably "know" my kids better than anyone I could ask irl. Savana. She has a really, really hard time with change and is pretty controlling in most aspects of her life because she feels like she needs things just so.
She has her own, very small room, packed to the gills with her stuff. The master bedroom is huge and no one uses it right now because it is supposed to be Kai's but he sleeps with dbf and just has some of his toys in there. He doesn't play or sleep in there because dbf's massive weight machine is in there and the shadow scares him. SO. We want to move Savana's loft bed in there and put a bed we have for Kai (in storage) that was made to fit under her loft, bunk style. Get the weight machine out. Then set up the room for Savana and Kai to share. I have brought it up to Savana several times and she gets all hot and bothered and says she's not ready and she needs time to think about it. Part of her thinks it sounds cool but part of her is not ready to give up her space. I would like her tiny room for Sawyer as he has no space at all right now, barely a place to put him down for nap where he won't be disturbed.
Savana will never get to the point where she says ok lets' do it. Actually once she said that but then backtracked and said she needed more time. She struggles so much with change but usually ends up happy when it's all said and done.
So if you were me, would you just do it while they are here and try talking her through it while she most likely freaks the entire time. Or would you have me take the kids out of the house and have dbf set the room up super cool and come home SURPRISE! and hope she reacts with happiness??

I don't know if surprising her with it would be a good idea. Perhaps if you take her up to the room and have her help you plan where everything will go and make sure she knows that she can have her own area where no one else is allowed - maybe your dh can build a little private room under a loft bed or something and she can work on configuring it with him too. good luck
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I agree with Katy - I don't think a surprise would be good.
Maybe you could try something like a social story, where you talk about what is going to happen, and explain all the positive benefits that will come from it, and go over it together every day for a certain amount of time (say, 1 week) before you move? And let her know the date it will happen in advance. That way she has a week to prepare and it is presented with all the advantages each time you discuss it. Would that work for her?
ETA: And maybe you could let her pick out something very cool for the room, like a new bedspread or a new decoration, and add that to your "story" when you discuss it each time.

Okay, I just wrote this. I know Savana is a super smart girl and it is probably a little to simplistic for her, but feel free to adjust so it doesn't seem too condescending for her. This is the sort of thing I'd write for one of my kids at school who aren't as verbal as she is, but it's the basic idea behind it.
It's really helpful also to have her fill in that blank herself to think of how she can help. You can put some other blanks in that she can come up with ideas for, too.Space
It is important for everyone to have space they can call their own. I like to have a space I can go to when I need some time to myself.
Kai and Sawyer need space that they can go to when they need time to themselves.
On (pick day of week - Saturday?) Saturday, Kai and Sawyer and going to have a new space.
Kai and I are going to share the big room. I will have my own space up in my loft. Kai's space will be under the loft.
The big room will have new furniture. The old furniture that was scary for Kai will be gone.
Sawyer will have his own space in the small room. When Sawyer needs time to himself, he can go there.
When I need time to myself, I have my loft.
It is important that everyone have their own space.
(maybe add)
I can make my loft look just the way I want. It will be my special place to go.
We are going to move the furniture on Saturday. I can help by ____. Sawyer and Kai will be happy to get their new spaces. I can enjoy my new space, too.

I agree with having Savana be as involved in the process as possible. What about having a back-up plan-maybe leave a bed in her tiny room that she can sleep in just in case the big room is too much for her the first day? also leave some of her very favorites in there...? Just a thought. She'd have 2 spaces, but it would only be for a little while. I'd say no more than 2-3 days. Then if she's still totally not happy with it, put her stuff back?
Gwenn, I love you. Perfect idea.
Chrissy, we think alike. I did tell her she could have a special place in Sawyer's room for as long as she needed. Thing is, when it's done it's done because the loft bed is big and heavy and will need to be taken apart and re-built again.
Her room is too small. She complains all the time that she needs more space. I keep telling her that the other room is huge and would be great. ~But I love my room. I want this exact same room with this exact same window and exact same everything. But bigger.
I sympathize with Savana. I want everything just the same, only better! I feel the same way myself.

An East Texas home is heavily damaged and only the garage and one bedroom is left standing following a house fire Saturday morning.
The 5-bedroom brick home caught fire Saturday morning around 9 off of Private Road 3471. This is off of Highway 80 between Cherry road and Hickory road, between Gladewater and Big Sandy. Authorities tell us a neighbor called in the fire.
Fire crews from Gladewater, Big Sandy, Pritchett, West Mountain and Clarksville/Warren City responded to the scene. Officials say about 75% of the home is destroyed.
The exact cause of the fire is not yet known, but officials think it may be electrical.
The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire and have not yet been contacted.

Why Breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed your baby and it doesn't cost anything. Breastmilk will always have its advantages over formula milk but, if you find for some reason you cannot breastfeed or you simply choose to bottle feed your baby, you should use specially made infant formula milk.
Try not to let the decision to bottle feed make you feel guilty or 'a failure'. All formula milks are nutritionally complete; they provide all the nourishment a baby needs from birth to weaning. And as far as bonding goes, bottlefeeding mums can still have close contact with their baby and you will actually be able to give your baby 100% of your relaxed attention without the stresses and strains of sore nipples, latching on or whether your newborn is taking enough milk.
What will I need?
If you have decided to formula feed your baby, you will need around six to eight bottles plus extra nipples and a system for sterilising them.
There are different sterilises available – chemical cold water steriliser, electric steam steriliser or a microwave steam steriliser.
A chemical steriliser is a sterilisation tank that you fill up with cold water and add a sterilisation tablet or liquid. Make sure you follow the instructions for how much steriliser to use. Never put metal items in your sterilising unit. As sterilising solution is a dilute bleach, all items should be rinsed in recently boiled water before immediate use.
Steam sterilisation. This type of sterilising kills harmful bacteria using steam created in a specially designed electrical unit. Steam sterilisation is a very quick and easy method of sterilising, but make sure you fill the bottles with formula within 3 hours of sterilisation.
Microwave sterilisation. This method works by creating steam in the microwave steriliser to destroy harmful bacteria. All cleaned equipment should be placed in the steriliser with the amount of water specified in the manufacturer's instructions, with bottles and caps upside down. The unit's lid should be securely fastened before placing in the centre of the oven.
Too small a hole will mean your baby becomes frustrated and if the hole is too large the milk will come gushing out. Here is a guide to flow rates;
Slow flow: 0 months+
Medium flow: 3 months +
Fast flow 6: months+
Variflow 0: months +

Holistic web site development specifically for you
Imagine your mechanic only changing your oil, but not bothering to change your filter as well. You'd be angry! But that's what many other website design firms do to your business.

Colors convey the unique passions and drive behind your company. We apply a themed style to contribute to, and enhance, your overall brand and message. Did you know that the color you use on your websites says a lot about you to your customer? Don't lose potential cutomers because the color of your website drives them away! Read our post on "Color for websites".
We can also create a new logo, or re-brand a tired one, to give instant recognition. It's all part of our overall website design service.
Not just website design
As well as site implementation, we also write content if needed. There's a saying in SEO circles, "Content is king!". Quality, well-written content helps to brings visitors back to your site again and again, plus it compels them to link to your content.

Grocery Bag Dispenser
1 sweet charm pack
two 19" x 3 1/2" strips white bella solids
20" x 20" piece white bella solids
20" x 20" piece warm & natural batting
30" of 1/2" wide elastic
ribbon &/or rick rack
lay out 16 of your fav charms from your charm pack in a 4x4 layout.
sew the 1st row. pressing seam to the right.
sew the 2nd row. pressing seam to the left.
sew the 3rd row. pressing seam to the right again.
and then sew the 4th row. pressing seam to the left again.
{this will ensure perfect seams.}
join row 1 & row 2. press.
add row 3. press.
add row 4. press.
layer with the 20" x 20" piece of bella solids & 20" x 20" batting.
and quilt as desired. {i went with good ol' stipple quilting.}
then trim off your edges just like you would if you were about to complete a quilt.
take your two 19" x 3 1/2" strips of white bella solids and fold them in half like you would binding. press.
with the opening facing outwards on, just like binding, sew your strip on.
you'll want to do this to the top and the bottom of your little quilt.
yours should look just like mine.
cut 12" from your elastic and place a safety pin at one end, like so.
feed the safety pin end of your elastic through the strip on the TOP of your quilt.
once you pull the pin through to the other side, you'll need to remove the pin and secure the loose end of your elastic by sewing over it.
trim it nice & neat once it's secure.
here's what your top will look like once it's done.
now cut 10" from your elastic and do this process again for the bottom.
after you've sewn your elastic into place, you're gonna have a funky looking quilt like this.
take the remaining 8" of elastic and fold it in half.
this will be for you to hang your dispenser by.
{you can use ribbon, rick rack or even fabric here instead of elastic.}
take your little quilt, right sides together and start to sew down the long, open side.
the ends of your elastic are gonna be a little finicky, but you can do it!!!
before you go too far, take that folded elastic from the previous step and slide it in place with the opening facing outwards near the top of your quilt.
{i placed mine about 1/2" from the bottom of the white fabric.}
after you have sewn down the side, this is what your little quilt will look like now.
now flip that bad boy right side out ...
and you are done.
{unless you want to wash it & dry it for that straight from the dryer crinkly goodness like i did.}
now all you have to do is add your grocery bags and enjoy!!!
did i mention it takes less than an hour to whip up one of these???
so go whip up a few for you, your mom, your sister & your neighbor...they're all gonna want one once they see yours!!!

Well I don't think anything sums up yesterday better than this video from :42-:57. Just perfect. Like a tie? We're talking about a tie? Not a win, not a win, not a lose, but a tie? I honestly have no idea to feel about this situation. Like I guess we didn't lose? And we picked up a half game because Detroit is Detroiting the hell out of their November/December per usual and the Bears' defense is putting up as much resistance as my hairline so I guess we're still okay? I dunno. Apart of me wants to say I'd rather lose. Just a weird feeling to not have a definitive conclusion. Sort of like fooling around after you've had too much to drink. (sorry about that analogy Mom)
- What a weird stretch for Scott Tolzien. Guy went from being named the starter 31 seconds after his performance against Philly to being benched in the 3rd quarter 2 weeks later. At least he scored a touchdown and got to do a Lambeau Leap. So if we did one thing this season we at least gave 12 year old Scotty Tolzien his Make-A-Wish.
- With that said, Matt Flynn absolutely has to be your starter on Thursday. The team just looked more confident with him out there yesterday. And the crowd was in FULL support of that move. Place sounded like a WWF arena when Stone Cold came out back in the '90's. I hope Larrivee got his Jim Ross on. GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY IT'S FLYNN! BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!
- Our defense is so weird from drive to drive it's hard to figure out. 6 sacks is great but our rush defense is so spotty. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it looks like the other team has the difficulty on 'rookie.' And AJ Hawk is a microcosm of the whole thing. Certain drives he looks all world, some drives he's so awful I feel like Ivan Drago when Apollo is laid out. If he dies he dies .
- Most solid all around player not named Eddie Lacy yesterday: Tim Masthay.
- Most annoying part of yesterday was watching Toby Gerhart tune our defense up for 11.4 yards per carry. Like AP I can deal with. Dude's a legit MVP/HOFer. You expect him to get his. But Gerhart's runs are what killed us. It's like losing to a Goomba and not Bowser.
- Love that Andrew Quarless had no idea you could tie. I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that.
So all in all I guess we're still in the race? Just feels to empty when it ends like this. Borderline Un-American. It's like going to the casino and walking out at even. I either want big money or depression drinking. Either way if we can gut one out in Detroit maybe Rodgers is back the week after? Seriously Aaron if Call of Duty taught us anything it's that you just need to go hide somewhere for 10-15 seconds and you should be fine. Everyone knows that.
PS: On our 4th QB in 3 weeks and still with a fighting chance. Still can't help but feel like this at the moment:

Online Consultations
Make Your House Feel Like Home!!!
Feng Shui, My Way
For years I rented places that felt nothing like a home, and for years my life felt that same vibe. I was living in a bit of limbo, waiting for the opportunity to come along to have a place "worth" investing time in. My life was full of art and excitement so my house was sort of just a place to sleep and pass through. I never really felt grounded, and I didn't really know that being grounded was possible for me in my eclectic life. I was scattered, even though I really tried to organize. I was constantly on the go, and never really did much in the way of "nesting."
Then, one day, I got very very sick and was forced to spend a month at home after two weeks in the hospital. Beyond feeling totally crappy physically, being in my home felt like I was squatting in a stranger's place. Online, searching for some solution to the weirdly displaced feeling I had because I was stuck at home, I happened upon feng shui…my way. I wasn't into bells and talisman and "lucky" coins. I didn't vibe with the compass directions and confusion of feng shui I'd seen before that felt more like a sham than an art form to me. I'm not into being told that my destiny depends on the compass direction my door faces. I was into the idea of creating a home that magnified my dreams for once in my adult life! That's when I discovered the modern, accessible discipline of Pyramid School Feng Shui.
After a few adjustments in my own space, my cottage in the Hollywood Hills felt like a home and my life took root in a way I was hoping it would one day happen! Suddenly my life had a meaningful capsule around it, an actual environment I loved and related to…and I was hooked as my world expanded. Fast forward 7 years to today, and I've had the immense pleasure (its so much fun!) of working one-on-one online and in person with scores of such incredible people around the world…many who have experienced that feeling of home for themselves just as I had for the first time in decades… and its thrilling!
If you are craving a feeling of home at home and the sense of empowerment that it brings, greater creativity, more flow in your space and your life, a next-level home visually, artistically, and even energetically… this could be your ideal feng shui process. Unless you are in the market for all new furniture, we re-purpose what you already have to the greatest degree possible- (with very little artistic or craftsmen skill required on your part)- to create a much more amplified and awesome space that is uniquely your own. I'd like to call these space makeovers interior design, but its so much more than interior design because its tailored to your elemental nature, your desires, your special needs and wants and your own artistic vision. We don't just pick paint chips, we pick the elements, the symbolism and saturations best suited for your desires. Cool right?! That's why I say that feng shui can help you to design a dream life- your house becomes like a holistic vision board that you live in, and it rocks…!
Your Design, Your Way
In a consultation we work with color, elements, furniture placement, art, lighting, scent, nature, food and much more, all tailored to your needs and desires. Its a multi-layered sensory experience, and the idea is that it should be fun! You know what you'd like to have more of in your life- energy, peace, love, creativity, self-empowerment, prosperity, focus- and you know how much space you need and how much guidance you would like. So, design your feng shui as it fits your life!

A follow-up check in with Dana is included by phone /email/Skype as you prefer.

Hi Amie, It's been a long time since we talked. How are you? Are you still reading fanfictions?I am still going through reading the ones you have sent me. Do you have any more that you've been reading? I so miss Twilight.
Hey Amie, we miss you too. Things have not been real hunky dorey lately they have been a little off but trying to hang in there. miss ya
No problem. I really appreciate the stories you are sending my way....I am just now having the time to really go through the list thoroughly to mark them as my favorites...I am loving the stories...I will read like the first chapter and get hooked.....I look forward to getting more stories from you...take care........
Oh I am a lot like you I have been off and on and I too am having withdrawls. Life can be exhausting you know. I am o.k. will be fine though,. Hope you and your family will be o.k.
thank you for those
thanx for those :)
thax hun i appreciate it and i love them all
Amie thanx for sending them good luck on your new job o.k.
Amie I have enjoyed everything you have sent
that is alright with me you go ahead and change
Amie, thanks for the new stories. I started reading Tropic of Virgo last week because the title caught my eye. I am a Virgo. Born September 1st.
Thanx Amie that last one will be interesting huh?
Thanx amie for the stories
Amie, That's okay. Breaking Dawn the movie had the most perfect ending. It was so awesome. The scene with the Volturi during the credits was so tense. The Cullens have something that they want. Bella is going to kick their butts.
Yes, the ending was so perfect......
For the past few days I have been in the Twilight mood....I read the Official Twilight Guide again four days ago and three days ago I resumed reading part 2 of Breaking Dawn when Bella wakes up. I am up to the part when the Cullens have left and Edward and Bella are waiting for the Denali Clan to arrive. Now I will read the parts of the guide that I skipped over( the Voltiuri and other clan bios as well as the wolf pack bios)...I had reserved my copy of the guide and when it was released and came in the mail, I read it on one day...
Glitterfy.com - Thank You Glitter Graphics
Thank you Sis for all of the stories that you have sent to me. Sorry that it has taken several months to respond. Between personal issues toward the end of last year spilling over into the beginning of this year plus school and just day to day things with my little boy, I had been putting off jotting down all of the stories until I had the chance to properly thank you. Keep 'em coming. Love you.
Just busy weekend with school and work. I hope you had a good weekend also.
Yea the fanfic was tremendous and still is but these books have got to be the same WOW can't wait anyway
qI know one thing for sure i will be watching the movie when it comes out
Hey Amie, no I have not have you?

Your Retirement Life Path
No matter where you are in your career, the responsibility for building a secure retirement is yours. Fortunately, there are plenty of actions you can take right now to navigate the new world of retirement, wherever you are in your journey.
Starting a Retirement Plan
When you're starting out, your first thought about retirement is probably...that it's very far off. It's not easy to imagine what your life may be like in your 70s, but you'll thank yourself later!
Building Retirement Savings
As your responsibilities grow in your career and personal life, retirement planning may be in the back of your mind. There is still plenty of time if you get serious about saving right now.
Navigating Pre-Retirement
Preparing for retirement is about keeping what you've saved, maximizing your benefits and making plans.
Living in Retirement
You earned it; now go enjoy it. But here's something no one ever told you about retirement: It's not the finish line
