Conner wants a little brother too. He's very excited about Jesi being pregnant. He's hoping it's a boy because 'we have too many girls'
Aw, is Jesi going to find out the gender at one of her u/s?
We went out looking at cars today; I am so excited. I might have a nice car to drive around when I start my teacher training!
Gender u/s is around 20 weeks? Could be a little earlier or later, IIRC. Have you guys talked names?
Hope you get a boy for Connor. I'm somewhat biased towards little boys.
I'm "sleeping" in the 3rd bedroom tonite, supposedly to get some rest. But I can't sleep and have to get up in 3 hours to run 7.5 miles. Aargh. Stupid sugar.
I had u/s biweekly with the twins starting at 12 weeks because they had to be monitored closely. They first time they looked for anything was 16 weeks. There was no mistaking what I was having. Lol! both the boys had everything on display at every appointment!
My dr said they look. Between 18-20 weeks. I dunno if if varies between an MFM to a reg OBGYN though.
I thought maybe 16 weeks, but it also seems like they told me at that age it was harder to tell and the chances of being wrong were greater. I remember being 16 weeks with Conner and many moms were feeling their babies kick and I wasn't Not that that has anything to do with the price of eggs in Phoenix, but ya know...pregnancy talk makes me think tangentially.
I'm going to the bf's tonight. And next weekend. Life is really feeling very, very strange. But in a good way.
Well, I think it's official that the new women next door are snubbing me! It's an interesting situation over there as my neighbor is in her mid-90's and widowed with no children. Since we have moved here, the same guy about my age has mowed her lawn and come over a few times a week for visits and maintenance. He always told Mark the house was going to be his when she died. Well apparently he has bought it from her now possibly because she was struggling financially be we are not sure about that. Either way, the deal is that she wants to stay in the house until she dies, but it's his so he has started to remodel. They added a new room, new roof (as you may remember) and just doing a lot of different things. ANYWAY, it's this guy, his girlfriend who is pregnant and they have a 5 year old son. So now there is a lot of hub-bub over there between them and their friends hanging out and working on the house while the kids and wives sit in the yard and smoke cigarettes and drink beer. The guys seem friendly enough although they cuss and drink like crazy but the wives won't even look up when I am near them (and our houses are feet apart so impossible for us not to run into each other especially since me and mine are outside pretty much sun up to sun down) I wave and smile and nothing. The kids and husbands talk to me and I make a serious effort to make eye contact with the women and...nothing. I mean, I know I look strange sometimes and my clothes don't match and I wear my bandana pirate style (it keeps the tics off my head!) and I sit in the teepee and eat lunch with my toddler and my kids are loud and talk about bugs a lot and don't go to school. But I'm NICE gulldurnit! I'm sad that they are going to be my new neighbors and don't seem to even want to smile at me. I will admit feeling really foolish walking down the street, all of us with walking sticks for a whole block and half walk to the place where we can put our feet in the water, and the kids with flags they made and waving at them and not getting a response. I've been trying to remain positive and hopeful about the whole thing because I'm actually bummed about having active neighbors. I love having this little spot to ourselves since she's been so quiet and the neighbors on the other side are summertime weekend only. *sigh* And....my enter button still won't work in here!
Bridget, it's perfectly obvious to me that you are awesome and they are lame. Probably they are so lame they just don't comprehend your awesomeness, or they are intimidated by it because they are boring mouth-breathers who just like to sit around drinking beer and smoking while you are out with your kids in the tepee having fun. You make them look bad, and their kids are probably melonheads.
That said, maybe with time things will thaw and you'll get to know the woman who lives in the house and it will turn out she's just shy of new people. Or she is terribly embarrassed because of the hullabaloo the guy was making on the roof at you, and she doesn't know how to say so. Or she just really hates being pregnant and she's miserable in the new house and she's putting up a good front with her friends who visit but she doesn't have the bandwidth to be friendly to anyone else because she might just burst into tears, especially because you have a kind face.
I'm sorry your peaceful quiet spot has been invaded. I hope eventually you can become nice neighbors together, if not friends.
I said the same thing to dbf this morning, that maybe she is just shy. I've been accused of snobbery before, when I actually just didn't know how to join the conversation as it takes me awhile to feel comfortable. But then today, her friend's son was talking to me while I was weeding the garden and him mom came over to tell him they were leaving and he started to tell her about our conversation, "Mom! Do you know she has chickens and they get into her strawberry garden?" and I smiled at her and said, "All kinds of excitement over here." and she just told him to come on and didn't even respond to me. I just felt like that was so blatant. But you are right, there could always be circumstances I am unaware of. I have figured out that it's her husband, btw, (the friend's) that is the obnoxious roofer. The other very strange thing is that the 3 kids I've been taking care of for years, their mom tells me that these are all her really good friends. So I feel like they have to know of me through her....
The obnoxious roofer husband has been doing all kinds of things to get your attention and the wife doesn't really want to talk to you? AND you're the super-awesome mom that she's been hearing about for years? Despite the fact that you hang out in a teepee, and you have interesting attractions in your yard and you're totally hot and you have your own style and wear it well, I can kind of see why, in normal-land, she would be a little hesitant about being friendly with you.
Yay! I got my internet back! It's been almost a week of agony. And I was right about the band-pass filter on the pole outside needing to be switched because of the frequency change by my ISP, and nobody at my ISP, not at the office (which I visited twice) nor during any of the 6+ hours I spent on the phone with various tech support, NOBODY had any clue that this was done or was an issue. I can't believe another mom from the kindergarten was a better tech support than my ISP over 8 hours of escalation.
Anyway, I have to go to work tomorrow and it's late now, so I can't write too much. But I've missed you. Needless to say, my first act was to write a letter of complaint along with a demand for a refund for those missing days of service.
I know for Maiya, we got the "big" u/s at 20 weeks 4 days, and it was obvious she was a girl. Clear shot! But at the 13 week u/s we also had a very strong suspiscion she was a girl, it was just too early to bet on, yet.
Aw, Bridget, you are very nice! Unfortunately, some people can't handle that. I think L has the right idea, she's probably jealous of you. I hope, though, no matter what the reason, that she warms up to you!
Ack, L, that's awful about your internet. Hope they give you a full (or more) refund.
Generally the big ultrasound is scheduled around 18-20weeks because they can get the most accurate measurements during that time. My next appointment is next Thursday (30th) and well be scheduling the ultrasound than. So more than likely itll be more like 22 weeks before we get to do ours I tried to convince DH to do an elective, but he said I was being inpatient
B, I definitely think shes jealous of you or possibly intimated by you. It sounds more to me like she is being purposefully rude, but it is hard to really tell sometimes with people. I am not buddy-buddy with my neighbors but at the very least I smile and wave when we pass each other, etc.
L, I am glad your internet back but I am sorry it has been such a hassle! I hope they refund you for the days of service that you missed.
Ok, so time for a babble....
Most of you know my relationship with my father, is well, barely a relationship.... I see him on Sundays, for one purpose, because that is his standing date(?) with Nolan. He comes Sunday morning and spends a good chunk of the day with him. They go to the park to feed ducks, etc. Nolan loves it and I told my dad that it could continue for as long as he didn't show his a$$ and did not come to my house after he had been drinking.
Well, we kept Nolan home Mothers Day weekend to spend with us. I had told dad the weekend before that I wanted to skip that Sunday and it was no big deal. Told him we'd seem him the following Sunday (this past weekend). Well, Sunday morning comes and hubs is trying to call him, the phone keeps going to voicemail.
DH drove down to my dads place (which is right down the road) and my dads Jeep was there, with no tag, and DH said it didn't look like anyone had been there in a few days. ((((btw my dad lives in a box truck, in an old friends of his yard))) So, anyway. I thought he would stop by at some point during the day and give some excuse (working or whatever), but he never did.
Should I be worried? On one hand, I'm not. I mean he's grown, he's perfectly capable to taking care of himself. BUT we've been having this routine for about a year now and he's never missed a Sunday with Nolan without calling or at the very least stopping by (when he didn't have a phone).
I thought about maybe having DH stop by over there this week and maybe taking some leftover dinner like he does sometimes, to make sure everything is OK without it seeming like we are checking up on him. I don't know, I feel silly for even worrying about it, I barely tolerate the mans existence so why should I care if he drops off the face of the planet Sigh... anyway, random babble from me and it'll probably turn out to be nothing.....
Hmmm, so what you are all saying is that you can see why they don't want to be friends with me!! I don't think that makes me feel better! lol Christine (Sorry for the lack of paragraphs here, no enter key) I think I would be worried. And I'm sorry that you have to be, and that you have such conflicted feelings about him. That must be difficult.
Christina, please check on him. If something is wrong, you will regret not doing so.
Bridget, we know you're awesome, and like just how awesome you are. Maybe they will come around to the same POV later. Although if the behavior is based on how the roofer dude was totally making an ass of himself over you, that might not happen.
and thank you
My Aunt stopped by on her way to the airport Sunday night and mentioned that my dad called a week or so ago and mentioned having issues with his truck (belt or something), but what I can't figure is *how* he would've gotten another vehicle, but who knows....
Christina, I was gonna say what Suja said. Go ahead and worry now, and you can always reprimand him later if he was just being asshatty yesterday. Either way, I'm sorry, lady.
Bridge, remember how I said last week that, when people don't like me, they really seem to dislike me? I was talking mostly about women like your gal next door. I used to take the female "freeze out" so personally, but then I started to notice that it mostly came from catty, immature females who don't have a lot going on for themselves and are easily threatened by the sight of someone who has a genuine passion for things in life besides outer appearances. So I wouldn't worry too much about her, although if you decide that's how she really is, I'd avoid like the plague.
I don't know. Some people are just so focused on other people that they make themselves unhappy. I kind of feel sad for them.
Beyond that - and this is now me waxing about me and not your situation anymore, Bridget - I've realized that a good connection with someone else is a rare thing. So in the past, I used to feel like something was wrong with me if I walked into a room and couldn't start a conversation with anybody. It's particularly tough when it's a social type of club and everyone knows everyone else and you're expected to angle your way into someone's chat circle. But I guess it just hit me one day that a 1% connection rate is pretty darn good, like, I'd be lucky to find 1 person out of a hundred that I'd enjoy talking to, never mind who'd enjoy talking to me. And so, in a room of 30, I'm cool if my 1 connection isn't in that room at just that moment.
I'm not sure if that made any sense.
Anyway, as I got older, it became a comfort to know there are people I actually can easily converse with and on a deep level, because if it doesn't flow like that, I don't try to force it. I don't even pretend to expect it to be a connection.
Like yesterday, DH and I were walking down the street and this bike messenger stopped him by yelling "Steve!" It turned out to be one of the former valet parkers from his old studio in LA. They had a really warm exchange, were excited at the coincidence, but then just shook hands and said goodbye, happy to leave it to fate to bring them together again. A younger me would have felt like I needed to take his number and at least say "Let's keep in touch." Now, I'd be fine with walking away like DH did.
And that's why I've started unfriending old high school people from FB. Lol. One was the son of a bonafide rock star (I can share who off-APA if you're curious). I unfriended him yesterday because he friended me 5 yrs ago and hasn't said a word to me since I accepted his invitation. I don't just want to be in his collection, kwim?
DH & I saw the new Star Trek last night, btw, and my new crush is Benjamin Cumberbatch with the deep voice. DH was kind of offended that I didn't choose someone hunkier. I think he thinks that if I don't find hunks attractive, he must not be a hunk himself.

BTW, my run was super fun yesterday ("Bay to Breakers" is more like a 7.5 mile street party than running event). Even the ride in on the train was exciting, pulling up to each platform and seeing what was walking onto the train next (alligators, clowns, glam rockers, etc...). I'll be sharing pics shortly. I ran the whole thing in a golfy/Andy Capp hat and a moustache. Saw the requisite naked people and slapped a whole lot of high fives. DH had parked 1.5 miles from the finish line (closest parking he could find) and jogged up with Bodhi, and so I ended up running all the way back to the car with them too. So I ran 9 miles in total yesterday. On 3 hrs of sleep. Oy!
Christina, I agree with everyone else. If you check on him, and he's fine, you can just be annoyed with him. But if you don't, you might feel bad later. I hope he's okay. Ugh - it's ridiculous how parents can still trip us out even when we're adults, isn't it? From just what you've mentioned, you've been incredibly generous to let him spend Sundays with Nolan. What a gift to give them both, even if it's hard on you. So impressive.
Myles, I like everything you muse about friendship, and it's good food for thought for me too -- but since I can't really process it that quickly, all I can say is that Benedict Cumberbatch is great. DD1 and I both like him a lot, especially in the Sherlock series from BBC. Have you watched those? They're SO good, and he's fantastic. We've been dying to see him in Star Trek, but had too busy a weekend to fit it in. We will soon, though. Did you like the rest of the movie, too? I'm hoping it's as entertaining as the first.
I'm going to try to share a pic here, but not sure it's going to work: Can you see it?
This is a shot of the runners going up Hayes Hill yesterday (well, runners mostly on the left, walkers on the right), and it's not even that good of a visual to show just how many revelers there were out in the streets yesterday at 7am. There were 30,000 registered participants in this year's race. It's only my 2nd year doing it, and I'm in love with this event. The energy you get from all these happy people is amazing.

I mentioned on FB, Myles, but I thought of you yesterday driving through the city. Saw some fantastic costumes. Gotta love Bay to Breakers! I remember one year taking the subway in the city with DD1 and being face-to-face (or face-to-crotch, depending if they were standing while we sat) with some superheroes, mexican wrestlers, and other fabulous folks. What a party!
And I am seriously impressed about you running 9 miles, especially on so little sleep. I get winded just running to the end of the block. Way to go, girl.
I have never gotten along with other women, I always thought it was because I was raised with a bunch of boys. I tend to be pretty oblivious when poeple like me and even when they don't. I generally just don't care. I do love the ladies I work with and have gotten very close with them, so there's that.
I am most definitely not one to be jealous of, so that is a non-issue here.
M I am so glad you enjoyed your run, that sounds like so much fun!! I have been slowly, but surely, getting rid of 'friends' on facebook. It takes a lot of work doing it and I am pretty lazy about it What's funny is that they keep re-friending me after I delete them

Summer is right around the corner and many are preparing pools for the hot days. Often this means draining some or all of the water. While this sounds simple enough, many people don't realize that it is a violation of City Ordinance to drain pool water to the street, alley or storm drain.
The chemicals in pool water can be toxic to the fish, bugs, and plants that live in the streams and creeks that receive the discharged water.
The proper way to dispose of pool water is to drain the water to the sanitary sewer where it will end up at the treatment plant and have all the chemicals removed before being drained into the Trinity River. Most pool backwash systems are plumbed to the sanitary sewer. Make sure yours is so you can backwash the amount of water you need removed from your pool.
Other options to make sure the water is directed to the sanitary sewer are to pump the water into a sewer clean-out, usually located in the front yard of your house, or to a bathtub or sink inside your house. Whatever way you determine is best, make sure that if you drain your pool, for any reason, the water does not drain to the storm sewer system (street or alley), but instead goes to the sanitary sewer to be treated properly. Report any observed pollution that could result in the impairment of our waterways to 972-466-3060 or by visiting cityofcarrollton.com/envservices.

|Tales from the front', a newspaper article of memoirs of John Barnard and of the Tank 250 in Evesham
|Article written by Mike Barnard for the Evesham Journal November 5th 1998 about his late father John Barnard who survived some of the most horrific battles of the First World War and how a tank from one of those battles ended up in Evesham's Abbey Park.
This includes how John used to tease Mike, getting him to touch the shrapnel wound on his shoulder. John's first memories of a tank - seen at Cambrai on November 20 1917. The story of John witnessing a young man's hair go grey overnight after a bullet skimmed across his scalp. John was wounded on at least 3 occasions, but he did once go over the top with 22,000 men and was one of only 15 who came back unscathed! There is an inset photo of John Barnard.
The story of the Great War tank (Tank 250) that stood in Abbey Park, Evesham from 1919 is told. This includes Mike's drawing of the arrival of the tank, including a representation of his father in the top right hand corner, as well as a poppy background. This drawing was done with Mike's father's own pencil that he had carried with him in France.
Part of a collection relating to Lance Corporal John Barnard (52258 Worcestershire regiment), market gardener of Badsey near Evesham; and his son Mike's drawings and newspaper articles relating to the First World War.

A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. Praxis International offers methods and tools for activists and representatives from institutions that process "cases" to move toward approaches that reform the ongoing work routines that ultimately shape case outcomes. The tools avoid blaming individuals for failing to protect victims. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized in ways that impede attention to victim safety and well-being and to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools available and how they might benefit your community's efforts to improve responses to violence against women.

Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

It's pretty normal now to open your email to see a great discount offer on services like haircuts or photography classes. There are many names in the game but there is a new, local group offering local deals. It's called Loclly, and the I-Team says be careful before you drop your dollars on their deals. It's not much of a deal if you can't get what you paid for.
Loclly may seem like a catchy name, but the reviews are that if you trying to get that discounted massage or pedicure you paid for, you might find the whole thing very stressful.
A customer service representative for Loclly says they are answering questions from their customers. It's an online site that offers deals to local salons, teeth whitening, travel, and other things. You pay Loclly upfront for the special deal and they are supposed to send you a voucher. The upstart company is fending off complaints that the deals are duds. "Everything is being resolved, is being answered in a timely manner," says a customer service man for Loclly.One regular Loclly customer judges "timely" differently. Dee Hurley says she was ignored.Hurley says she bought a manicure/pedicure service through Loclly but had trouble collecting the voucher she'd need to take to the salon. She said she called and wrote Loclly."I think I even wrote a letter, sent it snail mail," said Hurley.She says the company never responded. So she was forced to report the company."The first time I contacted the BBB and the Governor's Office for Consumer Affairs was based on a March 11 purchase," said Hurley.She says it was June when she finally got that voucher. But, it happened again and again -- four times she claims she has had trouble getting Loclly to follow through on deals she's bought. "A lot of Internet-based companies don't really provide the back-up service and this is one of those companies that it appears from the complaints that we're receiving," said Fred Elsberry of the Better Business Bureau.There were so many complaints the Atlanta Better Business Bureau yanked the company's accreditation. The I-Team spoke on the phone with company spokeswoman Ainslee Marsden. She said Loclly did have trouble with one company not following through on its deal. She called it an "isolated incident." But she also called Dee Hurley's four problems with the company "isolated." And about that business of losing BBB accreditation, she said not to worry, it would be fixed soon if it wasn't already. According to the BBB, that is false.Hurley is a deal hunter. She wants Loclly to work, but she needs them to work a little harder for her. "It shouldn't take four months for vouchers for which you paid," explained Hurley.Marsden
and one of the Loclly owners, Michael Ferguson, have another business called
Sky Wash. It's a car
detailing business. Their grade with the BBB is a D-.

We have a clarification to our original report above
about Loclly. We said that spokesperson
Ainslee Marsden and "one of the Loclly owners, Michael Ferguson, have
another business called Skywash. It's a
car-detailing business." Ms.
Marsden advises us that she is not an employee of Skywash, but admits that she
has done some customer service work for Skywash and is the voice on the
answering machine that welcomes customers.
She says she's employed by Mr. Ferguson.
According to the Better Business Bureau, it lists Ms. Marsden as the
customer contact for Skywash and rates it a D-.

How To Choose A Company For Web Design Manchester
For the success of any business, websites play a major role. It is therefore essential to hire the right web design Manchester so that you can have an appealing website for your business. These are some of the things you need to take into account when choosing a web design company.
Have a look at the portfolio of the company. This is going to give you an idea of their expertise and skills. It is ideal to hire a company that has a good portfolio. If the company does not have an online portfolio, you should ask them to send you samples to your email address.
Hiring a good designer to make your website can be costly and sometimes even unreasonable. Rather than spending a lot of money without really knowing what you spent it on, you should look for an affordable and reasonable company via survey of the market.
It is also essential to consider the services and experience of the web design company as well as its success growth. You need to know the services that the company provides and some of the websites that they have previously created. If the firm has worked with big companies, you will know that they are good at their work.
You should also know the work procedure that a company follows so that you can stop worrying for no reason at all. Companies that ask for your energy or work profit are considered to be unrecognized. Choose a company that provides a simple and systematic way of work so that it will save you work, time and energy.
Service and support is crucial when you choose a web design company. Building a web design can be equated as showing your best presentation. The company should be in a position to determine other services and products that they can provide since you may need some additional services as your website has to grow. Find out about the reputation of the company before you sign any agreement with them.
When choosing a web design company, cost is a major consideration that you need to make. Consistency of the website should be maintained with less amount of money. The money that you will spend needs to be worth that work.
It is essential to find a company that produces affordable and quality designs. They have to create SEO friendly websites with effective meta tags. Your decision on whether to work with that company or not is going to depend on the criteria discussed above.
The above factors should be taken into account when choosing a web design company. The best you get will always depend on the amount of effort that you put in.
Before you start working with the company, make sure you go see their operations and meet people face to face who will be working on your project. See if they are fully staffed with professionals or they simply rely on freelancers or they outsource. Take note if you are getting a sense that they are skilled and passionate by simply talking to them.

Mayor Kasim Reed says the city will lose out if it fails to approve a new multi-purpose football stadium in downtown AtlantaIn Mayor Reed's view, the city will reap benefits and have virtually no risk.The mayor laid out the parameters of a deal in an informal session conveyed by Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell on Friday. The mayor backs a commitment to use $200 million in public funds from the city's hotel-motel tax, which he says would come mostly from visitors. The Falcons would contribute the remaining $800 million of the cost of the new stadium."I'm going to show you that the city of Atlanta is not going to be a back stop for the debt. So if it all fell apart, the people that would be holding the bag would be the people that purchased the bonds. I'm going to show you no other city in America did a better deal. And I'm going to show you we are going to put thousands of people back to work," Reed said. One Buckhead council member raised another cost concern. "What I hear the most about is the risk on the infrastructure," Atlanta City Council Member Yolanda Adrean. Reed acknowledged that there is no agreement on how an unknown amount of infrastructure cost will be born, and what those costs will be depends on the eventual site. One potential site is by the World Congress Center where trucks currently dock; the other site is closest to the existing dome, which has a different price. "I don't want to be presumptuous and certainly speak for my colleagues when I say that I think there is strong support for the Falcons and this deal within the Council. Certainly it takes eight votes but it takes eight votes to really make an agreement," Mitchell told Reed.At one point, Reed smiled confidently saying that he would like and perhaps expects to get 11 or 12 "yes" votes out of the 15 possible.

Here's a film about a little cottage industry that I've always considered suspicious.
As a teenager, filmmaker Nick Gaglia was sent to one of those private teen rehab programs -- in his case, KIDS of North Jersey. It was eventually shut down in the face of state investigations. His film, Over the GW, explains why.
Over the GW (2007)
A teenager going through a rough period gets sent to a privately run juvenile hall. The cult that runs it beats him into submission.
This is a dreary, sometimes-outrageous account of Nick Gaglia's extended enrollment in a cult-like teen rehabilitation program. Shot for a mere 30,000 dollars, Over the GW is certainly not a film for those who can't tolerate the sorts of no-budget, straight to DVD offerings that only seem to be available on Netflix. It looks like it was filmed on a cell phone camera; many of the actors come across like (heck, probably ARE) amateurs; and the score sounds like it could have been written by a 14 year-old who hasn't even completed his first guitar lesson. Nevertheless, I found the overall experience to be surprisingly effective.
Out-of-control teenager Tony is duped by his mother into attending this program started by an ex-Methodist preacher to get him sobered up. Tony's a little scared, but mom seems to be really confident that the place can turn him around. So, he signs the dotted line. The minute he's inside, however, a variety of abuse starts. Beatings, shouted insults, psychological games -- all the things one would suspect a corrupt former minister (allegedly) might cook up if he were allowed to open a teen rehab center.
As the months drag on, it becomes clear that the program has no intention of releasing Tony, regardless of how long he stays sober. While inside, he's not allowed to read, speak, or even bathe alone. In counseling sessions, he's constantly accused of lying and given more beatings. Sometimes, he's restrained on the floor for hours at a time. Other teens in the program are abused in ways tailored to their own personalities, as well. For example, one girl confesses that she's afraid of getting fat, so the counselors start to force feed her three times her normal rations as a punishment for vanity. Another guy is accused of impure thoughts, and restrained and beaten....
I always assumed that these kinds of things went on in such places. As minors, teenagers have no real rights, so they make perfect punching bags for people with authority. Plus, no one is going to believe what they say in the first place. Hey, these kids are violent druggies!
Anyway, there's also a sidestory about the efforts of Tony's father to get his son out of that hellish place. By the third act, I actually started to like that father character quite a bit. He's the lone beacon of decency in this otherwise miserable story. At one point, Tony's sister also gets sent into the program, and the father manages to get her out with a court's help. Will he be able to do the same for Tony before the kid's been completely brainwashed into believing that his sobriety depends on the program???
Now, I DO have an above-average amount of sympathy for troubled kids who get abused by the system, so my judgment on the quality of this film may be somewhat clouded. I mean, I know it's incredibly cheap, but the fact is that I walked away from Over the GW genuinely moved. After watching a character suffer like that for so long, you can't help but feel for him. I'm impressed that Nick Gaglia managed to get this picture made at all, and I think it's a story worth telling. Privately run prisons are a breeding ground for rampant corruption and abuse. It's a shame no one really cares; at least not anyone who can do anything about it.
3 out of 5.

Now is a good time to start figuring out what to do with your tomatoes.
From the size of a tomato (cherry, roma, beefsteak) to the color (heirloom tomatoes come in some crazy shades), there are no shortage of the fruit during the summer months.
First of all, to help you with choosing your tomatoes wisely, there is some help.
Tomatoes are not the best hand-fruit, but they are tremendous raw.
There are a couple of recipes from Southern Living that can pique your interest in trying something new.
The first is for a Tortellini and Tomato Salad.
The second is for Grilled Tomatoes with a Basil Vinaigrette.
Not only are tomatoes versatile, but they're good for you too.
Enjoy the splendors of summer by allowing yourself to use tomatoes in as many ways as you can.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A resurgent Rick Santorum won Minnesota's Republican presidential caucuses with ease Tuesday night and was declared the victor in Colorado as well, a stunning sweep that raised fresh questions about front-runner Mitt Romney's appeal among the ardent conservatives at the core of the party's political base.
Santorum triumphed, as well, in a nonbinding Missouri primary that was worth bragging rights but no delegates.
"Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota," the jubilant former Pennsylvania senator told cheering supporters in St. Charles, Mo. Challenging both his GOP rival and the Democratic president, he declared that on issues ranging from health care to "Wall Street bailouts, Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama."

Not exactly what I expected

Comments about 100 Capacity CD Wallet:
I purchased this item to match one that I already have with the same UPC. Unfortunately what I got did NOT match the one I already have. The binding is different and the one I have has a handle on the spine. It will work, but not exactly what I wanted. I prefer the binding on the older version, as it allows the pages to lay flat.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Before Crowds Party
On Thursday night (Nov, 28th) we officially launched our Before Crowds Collection. The drinks were flowing, the crowd was pumping and shit got weird. A great party, one we will remember for a long time.
Here is the press release:
Remember the 80's when the world of surfing turned up the volume in every way! Colours were brighter, shorts were shorter and moustaches existed outside the month of November. Everything was rad. Everything was iconic. Rusty has re-release some of those epic designs for their aptly named 'BC' Before Crowds range.
To announce BC's arrival to the world a global launch party was thrown in collaboration with Highs & Lows at the Perth inner city haunt of Uncle Joes Barbershop & Mess Hall. Gage Road Brewing Company ensured the beers were chilled and plentiful, and Sailor Jerry kept the guests well hydrated with their Caribbean-distilled rum.
The Mess Hall kitchen was sizzling throughout the night, serving up muchas gracious Mexican tapas. With haircuts courtesy of Uncle Joes Barber Shop and the Red Engine Garage band kicking it through the night mucho good times were ensued. The launch party was pumping with a guest list of 100 plus, revelers including WA's fashion and streetwear peers together with the surf industry cartel. Not forgetting those less fortunate, a custom Rusty surfboard was auctioned on the night with all proceeds going to the relief effort for the tragic Philippines Typhoon.
Big thanks goes out to Uncle Joes Barber Shop & Mess Hall, Highs and Lows, Gage Roads Brewing Company, Sailor Jerry, Uppercut Deluxe, Sex Wax, It's Now Cool and Red Engine Caves.

Introducing Before Crowds
Do you remember back in the 80's when the surfing world turned up the volume…? The colours were brighter, the shorts were shorter and the moustaches? Well they existed… Everything was rad. Everything was iconic. It was a time when heavy metal flourished and everyone had a hard-on for the hard core. Ironically, it was also a time when the lineups were less crowded you surfed because you loved it. You lived it. Rusty's new BC Collection pays homage to that era 'Before Crowds'.
Focusing on the iconic 'R-Dot' logo, this re-release of product is a showcase of some original pieces from the Rusty range. The cult pieces, that weren't about being cool, or on-trend, didn't matter who wore them or where they were seen, it was the pieces worn before, during and after the waves. Spread across base colours of black, white and grey marle, the BC Collection features three pop prints, all with a standard 80's front and back placement. Each print is available in both a t-shirt and fleece option.
Creative Director of Rusty, Simon Lafranchi describes the BC collection;
"When trying to decide which prints to use, we actually raided Rusty Preisendorfer's personal wardrobe. When he started the brand back in 1985 as a surfboard line, he spent three months just creating the R-Dot logo we all know and love. With that kind of dedication, we knew he would have only kept the best pieces of clothing for himself. These are the cream of the crop."
Much like the surf culture back in the 80's heyday, the re-release of the BC Collection isn't about overcrowding. Offered only to select core Rusty stockists the range is being kept to limited quantities. This gear will not turn up in the mainstream.
The Rusty BC collection will be officially launched on Thursday November 28th. The range will be available online in very limited numbers and in selected Rusty Retailers.

A Chat With Peggsy
Sean Peggs recently returned from a trip of a lifetime. Wining the prestigious Rip Curl Raglan Pro, Peggsy got a wild card spot in the Rip Curl Padang cup. Not only did he get to surf one of the best waves in the world with a bunch of the best tube shooters in the world, he knocked out a few on his way to a semi final placing. We caught up with Peggsy for a quick chat back home in Tairua.
Peggsy, how are ya mate? Settled back into the real world after living the dream for a couple months?
I'm great thanks! Yeah it was a bit of a shock coming back to the N.Z winter after such an epic time in Indo. But yeah I had to give up the Nasis and get back to normal life.
It must have been a dream trip, Indo for 6 weeks and then the chance to Surf against some of the best surfers in the world, at one of the most prestigious tube riding competitions in the world. Tell us a little bit about your trip, what you did to prepare, how many night's you got stuck in the Vortex etc…
Yeah I had the best time over there. I spent a lot of time staying out on the Bukit Peninsula just surfing heaps and hanging with some friends that came over. I actually hardly partied at all, I went into Kuta a couple of times and just wanted to bail straight away. I surfed Ulus a lot and did a couple trips out of Bali including a week at Lakey Peak. That was a sick trip and perfect training for Padang, especially on one morning when it was 8ft+. Then it came down to the contest, which was right at the end of my trip. It was such an epic event and it was sick surfing against those guys. We were trading barrels all day and there was a priority system so there was no hassling, every heat just felt like the best free surf ever. I couldn't stop smiling all day it was so fun!
It's on when it's on. When the call was of a decent swell and the possibility it was going to be "on", how were you feeling?
Yeah there was no real sign of the comp running for ages so by the time that swell actually arrived I was just super amped. I had only free surfed out at Padang a couple of times so I wasn't that familiar with the wave but I just wanted to try and make some heats. I realised the only way to do that was to just go out there and pull into perfect barrels, which is pretty much a dream situation.
You took down some pretty big names on your way to the semis. It must have been an epic feeling being in the water with these guys, let alone beating them
Yeah a couple of the guys that I surfed against were at the top of the idol list when I was a grom. So yeah I was super stoked to beat a couple of them. But it was sick just being out there surfing perfect waves with those guys, they we're all really nice and no one was too cool to say hello or anything which I liked.
How was the vibe on the beach? Must have been pretty surreal heading out for your heats, getting interviewed for the webcast etc. That doesn't happen much in Tairua aye?
Haha yeah the vibe was crazy down there. The beach was absolutely packed and most of the people down there were amazing looking girls so it was pretty hard to concentrate. It felt weird putting on a rashy and having hundreds of people looking at you as you walked down to catch the ski out the back. Usually there's like 20 people watching a N.Z surf contest and most of them are the competitors mums. I was stoked that they streamed the contest live and everyone back home got to watch it.
What boards were you riding?
I was riding a 5'11 x 18 1/2 x 2 1/4 Slayer in the contest and anytime the waves were pretty solid and barreling. The other board that I rode pretty much everyday was a 5'10 x 18 3/4 x 2 1/4 Kerrosover which is such a fun all round short board.
How was the after party? Bet those Bin Tangs tasted pretty good.
Yeah the after party was a classic night. I was staying with one of my buddies from home so we just got stuck into the Binnies after my Semi-Final. It was cool hanging on the beach watching the final and Rippy put on free beers for the competitors so I got my quota's worth and then just carried that form on to the party at Single Fin!

They are former drug addicts and prostitutes. Women -- mothers with young children -- who have fallen into a dark underworld.
But some of them are now ready to emerge back to as much of a normal life as they can piece together. And they are doing it with the help of one valley organization.
"Want to show them how you ride a big boy bike now?"
The training wheels are off, and 5-year-old Daniel shows his mom how he can ride a two wheeler. Former drug addict Diane Case does not take play time for granted.
"I got him back two months ago," she says.
Daniel was in CPS custody for a year and a half because of her addiction to pain medication -- an addiction she battled for 10 years.
"I married when I was 30 years old and I didn't do drugs and I started doing drugs when I met my husband."
Even giving birth did not change her ways.
"I couldn't fight that drug, it was so powerful to me, you know."
She and her husband served time in jail. Her son was taken away, while Daniel's dad is still in jail
Daniel was reunited with his mom at the Changing Lives Center in downtown Phoenix where Case works and Daniel attends preschool. They call this place home.
"God led me right here to Changing Lives Center," says Case.
"We offer a program that allows them to go back to basics and then rebuild as a single parent and rebuild a hopeful life for them and their children," says Barb Sloan of Changing Lives.
Barb Sloan works with mothers who have drug and alcohol addictions. Some were prostitutes.
"About 99 percent of them have been sexually abused, physically, emotionally battered, it's sad."
Families attend chapel. Moms take GED or college courses and learn life skills without being separated from their children.
It's the only facility in Arizona that enables moms and their kids to live in one of these cottages for up to 18 months.
"We show them they may be a broken vessel, but they can be made whole again."
Case sometimes pictures her life without this place.
"I might not even have Daniel back, I could have gone back to drugs, I think about that all the time. I'd be struggling. I needed this place to mend myself to heal to work on my family and when I leave here I am going to have the strength to do that," says Case.
Changing Lives Center needs volunteers and donations to develop their day room for moms and kids. The facility is also able to accept more women and children.

Coffee: Snapshot of Colombia
As you sip your morning cup of coffee and enjoy the flavorful, hot beverage gliding down your throat do you ever wonder about the origin of the coffee you're enjoying? Are you curious about the story of the coffee farmers who cultivated the coffee crop? I know I am! It is amazing that coffee is grown in so many different countries around the world. Each coffee producing country has its' own coffee story and interesting facts. Over the next few months we will look at various coffee producing countries, and provide a quick snapshot so you can learn about the coffee industry from your favorite origin. This month we are taking a glance at the coffee producing country of Colombia.
Colombia is country that is known worldwide for producing coffee. In fact, Colombia produces about 12% of coffee in the world. (Coffee Research Website) Coffee is grown by more than 500,000 Colombian families stretching from the Ecuador border in the South, up to the Caribbean Sea border in the North. Most of these families grow coffee on small plots of about 5 acres. The small farm size makes the coffee growing process a family oriented activity. Coffee producing families in Colombia are no stranger to hard work. A coffee producing family has an average production of around 2,600 pounds of green coffee every year. That equals about 5.2 million coffee cherries! The small farmer not only patiently waits for the coffee cherries to mature, but they also have to wash, dry and sort those 5 million cherries! Whew, all that work makes you appreciate your morning cup of coffee more deeply.
In general, coffees from Colombia are described as "mild, clean cup with a medium to high acidity and body." When it comes to flavor, Colombia coffees can vary from nutty, fruity, sweet, herbal and even chocolaty characteristics depending on the region. Flavor profiles can be affected by so many factors including region, soil and the processing techniques.

Some fun facts about the country of Colombia for your reading pleasure-
- "Colombia produces 12% of the world's coffee." (Coffee Research)
- "Colombia is the only South American country with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea." (National Geographic)
- Colombia has a coffee amusement park- The National Coffee Park. Some features of this park are a walking trail to touch all the varieties of coffee plants grown in Colombia, The Coffee Shows and of course rollercoasters." (Squidoo)
- "Black coffee is called tinto in Colombia." (Colombia Travel)

By M.L. ElrickFox 2 Investigative Reporter(WJBK) -- Now here's a comforting thought: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick wasn't corrupt; he was just vindictive.At least that's the impression I got Thursday from the defense's cross-examination of contractor Tony Soave.The defenders worked so hard to undermine Soave's claim that Kilpatrick told him to hire Bobby Ferguson that they all-but conceded that Hizzoner was trying to stop Soave from using Charlie Williams as a subcontractor. The likely reason? Williams supported Gil Hill, Kilpatrick's mayoral opponent in 2001.If true, this would be consistent with a complaint I heard regularly during the Kilpatrick Reign of Error (2002-2008).Contractors and others who didn't support Team Kilpatrick often told me they couldn't get city work. One contractor told me he had to move out of state to stay in business. And a friend of mine who worked for the city said his department head -- a Kilpatrick frat buddy -- announced one day that he was a "Kilpatrick guy" and that it would be a good idea for supporters of Freman Hendrix to keep their views to themselves. (Hendrix ran against Kilpatrick in 2005.) Neither Ferguson attorney Mike Rataj nor Kilpatrick attorney Harold Gurewitz challenged Soave's testimony that Kilpatrick came to see him after he was elected mayor to ask Soave why he didn't support him. (Soave -- who writes plenty o' campaign checks -- backed Hill.) Instead, the legal eagles concentrated on Soave's claim that when he went to see Kilpatrick in the mayor's office around April 2003 to find out why he was holding up a $50 million contract, "He told me I had the wrong subcontractor. I asked him, 'What's the right one?' He told me Ferguson was the right one."When prosecutor Michael Bullotta asked him, "What did you tell him when he said you had the wrong subcontractor," Soave answered: "I told him okay, I'll make a change."And change he did, dumping long-time friend Williams and his fledgling firm for Ferguson Enterprises.Rataj got Soave to acknowledge that politicians have favorite contractors."It's normal, isn't it?" Rataj asked, adding, "That's the way of the world."He then focused on trying to get Soave to agree that Kilpatrick couldn't have held up the contract because it was awaiting Detroit City Council approval. (And he rightly pointed out that then, as now, they rarely do the mayor's bidding.) Gurewitz, the epitome of the poised and elegant barrister, worked so hard trying to get Soave to abandon his claim that he became frustrated at the fruitlessness of the enterprise and abruptly changed subjects. He never even bothered to address the broader notion that, whether or not Hizzoner mentioned Ferguson by name, the city's chief executive was essentially exercising veto power over who an independent, private businessman could hire.Gurewitz will go back at Soave Friday, so I may be a bit premature here (but ONLY here!). But after Soave insisted that Kilpatrick mentioned Ferguson -- telling Gurewitz, "you don't want to hear it. I keep on telling you that's the way it went," -- an exasperated Gurewitz moved on to discuss Soave's socializing with Kilpatrick.So, as of this writing, the only aspect of Soave's $50 million meeting with Kilpatrick that has not been challenged is that the mayor steered Soave away from a contractor who did not have the mayoral seal of approval.I don't know how you feel about that, but public officials playing favorites doesn't sound like a great idea to me -- whether it's legal or not.In any case, at this point I think Kilpatrick's attorneys will settle for seeing Hizzoner convicted in the court of public opinion of being an unethical mayor -- as long as the folks in federal court don't convict him of being a corrupt mayor. Follow M.L. Elrick's coverage of the Kilpatrick & Co. trial daily on FOX 2 and at www.myfoxdetroit.com. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter (@elrick) or Facebook.

Please bear with us as we continue to add content to the website.
Time dependant features such as QRP Quarterly renewals and QRP Contest announcements were given priority initially.
More pages are being developed - the QRP Toystore is being re-written as an online shop, there will be features for portable operators, builders, antenna experimenters and more . . .
The new QRP Operating feature will include news, frequency info, hints and tips. The technical area is being kick started to support builders and and add value to articles published in QRP Quarterly.
The beta test of the new digital edition of QRP Quarterly has already started. Behind the scenes many changes have been made to enable membership information to be maintained online.
All this takes time. QRPers have a wide range of interests from contesting to awards, building to portable operation, CW to digital modes. Everyone has their own opinion on what they would like to see featured next. A 'must have' article for one person is of no interest to another. Feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed, let us know what features would be useful to you ! But, please, have some patience and be realistic about the time and effort involved.
