Is it fair to change the name of chocolates and sweets?
You remember a marathon? It's not a snickers bar. Some of us still think of them as a marathon!
Starburst were opal fruits in the olden days! Opal fruits made to make your mouth water!
They changed the name of coco pops cereal too, but a wave of dissent made them change their mind!

Saturday and Sunday Lance was sick, not the ideal way to spend your last weekend, he had a bad case of diarrhea, it was rough, but I realize now what a blessing it was because the 3 of us relaxed all day on Sunday so we were ready for what Monday brought us. All day Sunday I had contractions 10 minutes apart, but they didn't hurt. We even got some more big belly shots, not realizing that tomorrow would be the big day. I look like I have a basketball hidden under my shirt.
That evening Lance was feeling a bit better so we headed outside to play. Jeff used sidewalk chalk to create his interpretation of Lily.
He created two babies because the first one wasn't good enough.
After watching an episode of Mythbusters that made me laugh so hard I joked I would go into labor (since everyone had been telling us hundreds of ways to induce labor for weeks now) we went to bed. That was 10:30ish, maybe 11.
At midnight I woke up in pain, a contraction, and it finally hurt. The contraction subsided so I tried to go back to sleep but 6 minutes later another one hit. I laid in bed for about 40 minutes and realized that I wasn't going to go to sleep so getting up and doing something might help. I called my mom to warn her that labor seemed to be near and that we would like her to come over soon. I got up took a shower, got dressed, and packed up all the things we needed for the hospital. I couldn't believe I was in labor. We then watched a Nova special on tv that we had recorded, not a great way to pass the time, considering every 6 minutes I would hit the info button on the tv to check the time and all I really wanted to do was sleep, but in the wee hours of morning there isn't a lot of options on tv. We were starting to get antsy because the contractions were painful, but not increasing in frequency so we called my mom and had her come over so we could take a walk around the neighborhood. It is amazing how many people still have lights on or music playing at 2 in the morning. By 3 a.m. my contractions were 3-4 minutes apart so we got in the car to go to the hospital, we joked that we should have walked there since it is kind of across the street, but I felt weird walking down the street with my pillow. We got to the hospital and was taken to a triage room since my water hadn't broken (they are discriminator against those of us whose water doesn't break naturally). The nurse hooked me up and checked me, 1-2 cm, no progress. AHHHHH, I was disappointed. I was having painful contractions 2 to 5 minutes apart and they weren't doing anything. The doctor came in and told me that I had a weak uterus and that they wanted to give me some pain medication to see if I made any progress or if the contractions stopped. He also told me that the contractions I was having are more painful then actual labor, great all pain and no gain. I was so upset, I was really hoping for a short easy labor. "They" say the 2nd time around is easier, yeah right. They gave me morphine and told me that I wouldn't need an anti-nausea medicine with it. The morphine was HORRIBLE!! I couldn't lift my head off of the pillow, the room was spinning, I couldn't keep my eyes open, the pain was still there, I was nausea, I was clammy and sweaty, I felt worse then I did when the contractions were full strength. After two hours of me begging the nurse for something to help me feel better the doctor came back in to let me know that they would be sending me home because the contractions had slowed down to every 14 minutes, I was only 2-3 cms dilated, and that they would not keep me in the hospital because they already had 3 inductions and 1 c-section that day. I was so upset, there I was, 41 weeks pregnant, miserable, sleep deprived, and I had just been told that I was going to be sent home just to return in 24 hours to be induced or possibly sooner if the contractions picked up and made more progress. The nurse did ask if I wanted to leave right then or if I wanted to wait until the morphine wore off. I was shocked, here I was unable to lift my head off the pillow, they didn't allow me to walk to the bathroom by myself, but they were going to send me home? Fortunately Jeff, who was in sound mind, said that we would wait until the morphine wore off, which they said could take hours, 4 hours actually.
Then things got better.
Shift change of nurses. Our new nurse came in, way too chipper for 7 in the morning, but what I didn't know then, but I know now, is my angel had just arrived. She introduced herself and then gave me the best news I had heard in a long time, the doctor who was starting his shift at 8 am would not send me home and would most likely induce me and she believed that I was indeed in labor and it would be silly to send me home, especially since I would be back in a matter of hours. I was so happy I could have hugged her, but that morphine kept my head glued to the pillow. This was at 7:30 and the morphine was only given to me from 5-6 and I was still doped up, how people get addicted is beyond me. Dr. N came in at 8:30 and told me I had two options, he could induce me or I could go home and let my doctor induce me the next day. My response: I am 41 weeks pregnant, hadn't had any sleep, and I was not going home unless I have a baby in my arms! He asked me if I was planning on getting an epidural, I said yes, because at this point natural labor wasn't going to be happening, with no sleep, hard contractions with very slow progress, and I was about to get a dose of pitocin which I heard can be intense, I didn't want to feel anything anymore. The nurse left and shortly thereafter I needed to use the restroom and so I called for a nurse. My nurse wasn't available at the time so her supervisor came in to help, I sat up and that is when the nausea really hit. It was horrible, the nurse asked why I wasn't given anti-nauseous medicine, I told her I was told I didn't need it, she said that you always need it with morphine and left quickly to go get some. They gave me a very mild one that they give to cancer patients and it helped me feel better quickly. It didn't take away all of the yuck with morphine, but it helped tremendously and I was quite frustrated that my first nurse didn't ever think to give me this drug especially when I was crying and begging for something to take away the funk I was experiencing and she kept telling me there was nothing they could do for me. So after getting a new drug to make me feel a little better we headed over to a labor and delivery room. I should note the morphine I was given at 5 am, finally wore off by 10-10:30, that was some strong stuff. The nurse ordered the epidural and though I felt weird getting an epidural when my contractions were so far apart and not as painful as they had been or could be I went ahead and signed my life away. Fortunately my contractions started coming a little closer together by the time the doctor came in to give me the epidural so I knew that it was better than sticking it out till things got worse. I did have a painful contraction right when the anesthesiologist was putting in the needle so it was really hard to hold still, but Jeff and the nurse were very supportive and I though crying was able to hold still. I was terrified the whole time, it is scary getting a needle in your back, but the anesthesiologist said that he loved skinny people like me because it makes the process easy to do because he can see/feel where everything needs to go and he told me that I had a great backbone for the epidural. So my back was made for getting the epidural, what a trait to have, too bad my body doesn't seem that great on making progress in labor on its own. When I first got my epidural and the nurse was monitoring my blood pressure I had a bit of a scare when I realized I was having a hard time swallowing, the epidural was affecting my ability to swallow. Then I realized that my arms were also kind of tingly and that the epidural was working a little higher than it should. Fortunately the nurse was there and she had me sit up a bit more and I began to function normally again, it was quite weird to have to really think in order to swallow. Shortly after getting the epidural Jeff curled up and went to sleep. I wanted to sleep and was kind of out of it because of the Benadryl to counteract the itchiness side effect of the epidural. The joke of the day, was "a drug to counter act the side effects of the drug," and we kept saying, oh you need this to counter act this and this, everything seemed to need something else to go with it. Despite being drugged up I couldn't fall completely asleep, thanks to the blood pressure cuff that went off every 15 minutes. I kept dosing off, but would jerk awake every time the cuff started checking my blood pressure or when Lily would move which would make the heart rate monitor stop beating or give feedback which was really annoying. I don't remember Lance being so active when I was in labor, or the last few weeks for that matter, but Lily was moving and grooving. I was extremely tired, but couldn't sleep, it was hard watching Jeff snooze away. At some point, I think around noon or 1 o'clock, the doctor came in to break my water and check for dilation. I was 5 cm, slow going, my expectations were out of whack, since I had been in "labor" for 12 hours or so and I was only 5 cm, what ever happened to 2nd babies arriving faster than first ones???? Well the doctor didn't need to break my water with that contraption they have (the knitting needle thing) because he was able to break the bulge that was there with his hand while checking my dilation. Once again, water breakage was nothing really, her head was so low that there isn't the gush that some people describe. I f watching Jeff sleep was hard, watching him eat was even harder. My mom stopped by and brought him food which he enjoyed while I watched on with my stomach grumbling, I had not eaten since 6:30 the night before and I was on 18 hours with no food and really wanted to eat. After lunch Jeff went back to sleep and I had the nurse sneak over and grab my camera for me so I could get the picture of him sleeping away with a big bag of snacks beside him.
I tease him that he was the oh so supportive labor partner who slept away the afternoon. When the Benadryl wore off I tried watching television, but wouldn't you know there was NOTHING decent or interesting on. I was bored and Jeff was out cold so I didn't have anyone to talk to. My nurse and I talked for awhile, but I felt bad having her entertain me so I called a couple of friends and my mom and complained about my boredom and how frustrated I was that Jeff was out cold and I could only sleep for 10 minutes at a time. At one point I complained to the nurse that my feet felt really fat and that I was worried that they were really swollen. She checked my feet and said that my legs and feet looked alright and I was unable to convince her otherwise. At 3:30 the nurse said she was going to check my dilation and she believed I was probably fully dilated. Jeff and I didn't believe her and we all took a guess at to my dilation. I thought a 7, Jeff an 8, but the nurse was right I was fully dilated. She then said she was going to wait until 4 and then we would start pushing, she wanted the baby to descend on her own. More waiting, I was once again frustrated, this process was so long. The nurse set everything up and we got ready for Lily. We started pushing around 4 and got easily frustrated. I am noticing a theme of frustration here with this labor. The nurse thought it would only take 10 minutes, but it took a bit longer then that. I asked to see the mirror in hopes that my pushing would be more effective, but it also brought even more frustration, seeing the head and then seeing it disappear was hard and I started crying because I just wanted this to be over. The nurse was very encouraging, Jeff not so much. After 15 minutes Jeff began to complain that it was hard to hold up my leg while I was pushing and he was tired, I could have hit him at that point and I am sure I gave him an evil look. I was shocked that he had the nerve to complain about being tired after he slept for at least 3 hours, he had lunch to eat, and all he had to do was hold up my leg, it wasn't like he had to push a watermelon out!!!! Also, I was finally able to prove that my legs and feet were indeed swollen when I left imprints on my legs after a pushing episode. My legs felt so weird because I could feel them with my hands, but I couldn't feel my hands on my legs, such a weird sensation. Sometime after 4:30 we geared up for another contraction and I pushed with all my might, in fact, I pushed a little to hard and Lily's head was almost completely out, not exactly what the nurse had hoped for, she just wanted the head past the pelvic bone, not out. One other thing that was strange is after each series of contractions that I would push we would see the head and the immediately afterwards Lily would kick my in the ribs, she was still wiggling around happily inside. She also moved around so much the nurse had to keep adjusting the heart rate monitor, how that girl had room to move is beyond me. I was starting to think she was really small to be able to move so much, I was very wrong in my assumption. The next couple of minutes were quite chaotic. The nurse had been doing something on the computer so she only had one glove on, that gloved hand held Lily inside, I helped her put on her other glove, Jeff hit the nurse call button, the nurse asked for the doctor and back up immediately, and fortunately everyone came in quickly, if the doctor had been busy the nurse would have ended up delivering the baby. The doctor was a little peeved that the bed was not ready to go, but my nurse explained how I had pushed a little too hard and we weren't prepared for Lily to practically make her entrance on that last push. Two other nurses got the bed ready, the nurse released the head, the doctor pulled Lily out and put her on me, she started slipping off so I quickly grabbed her, it was crazy a frenzy because everyone was trying to work around each other. The doctor pulled her out and then ran around to my side to suction and then back around to deal with the placenta, I really had him moving around, which was totally different then when I delivered Lance when the doctor was in the room for 18 minutes before Lance was born and sat on a stool. I was a little freaked out because she wasn't breathing yet and was so purple, but as I was wiping her off the doctor suctioned her and got her crying, yes I was dealing with the baby because the nurses were still trying to get themselves together. Jeff was too funny, because everything happened so fast I got baby junk (vernix the right term? the white covering on the baby) and blood all over my arm, he was grossed out and kept pointing out the yuck, but I didn't really care, I just didn't want her to fall off of me. Just like Lance she pooped on the way out which made one of the nurses anxious, but the doctor said everything was fine and wasn't a problem. Everything happened so fast. With Lance I remember the doctor suctioning Lance and getting him crying then asking me to push again to get his body out, Lily she basically fell out. I thought she was going to be smaller then Lance, but when they took her over to weigh her we discovered she was 2 ounces bigger. I kept asking the nurses if they were sure that 8 pounds 10 ounces was correct because she seemed so much smaller than Lance, but they assured me she was a big baby and that the scale was not wrong. The nurses probably thought I was crazy, but she seemed so little. Lily was born at 4:43, but I question the time because everything happened so fast and was so frantic, it didn't seem like anyone was really looking at the clock when the chaos ensued. After getting my one stitch, thank you to my wonderful nurse, for the olive oil which prevented tearing, we finally got things cleaned up, got her checked out, was able to nurse her and made it to the mother-baby room by 7:30. It was a very long day and both grandmas and Lance met us back in the room to meet Lily for the first time. Lance didn't want anything to do with me, but he loved his new baby, it was very cute. We finally got settled in and crashed. The next day was very busy, but thankful I was able to get around so much easier then I was with Lance, so despite labor being just was long and hard the recovery was a whole lot different. Lance also got to hold his baby the next day and as you can see he was quite happy to hold his baby.
Unfortunately, nursing wasn't easier and by the end of the day I was hurting and feeling quite down. Fortunately I had some really amazing nurses who were quite supportive and helpful.
Despite Lily being born Monday late afternoon we were able to be discharged Wednesday morning, it seemed so soon after her arrival, but I was extremely thankful to be out of the tiny dark hospital and to my comfy home. We were home by noon and it was so nice to be home.
I am extremely grateful because so far Lily is quite an easy baby. She is for the most part quite content, she allows for Lance to hold her and occasionally harass her. She isn't up all night long and I pray that will continue. We have had problems nursing, but I was not so ridge this time and didn't keep going despite the pain and got help a lot sooner then I did with Lance. Things are getting better and life with two is a whole new experience and I can't wait to get into a routine. So that is my incredibly long story of Lily's birth. 16.5 long hours and one crazy half hour. Unfortunately my doctor did not get to deliver again, once again, I was a day off and this time I felt sure he would be able to, maybe next time, yeah right, I swore off babies so many times that day that I don't think I could convince Jeff to do it again, but who knows, we forget.

Bantam10 becomes Bantam11... Where did the time go? Ten seemed so old! And eleven...eleven is waaaay too close to 12, and 13. At least for now we can enjoy our boy, who still likes Legos, GI Joes, Beanie Babies, puppets, Calvin & Hobbes, Garfield, The Far Side, and pretending with his younger siblings. He is a curious mix of dramatic flair, comedic ability, and unflappable good humor. Eighty percent of the time, nothing can faze him; the rest of the time, he's either normally reactive, or overly dramatic--which is exactly what he was like as a baby, interestingly enough!
We are so proud of you, son, and of the fine young man you are becoming! We love you!
"We always thank God for you and pray for you constantly."

The Stars Died
The atheist physicist Lawrence Krauss believes he has life figured out. As a cosmologist, he adheres to the Big Bang view of origins, believing that the universe came into existence from a singularity about 13.7 billion years ago.
The Big Bang theory is not compatible with a biblical understanding, but it would be a mistake to dismiss the theory as if there were only one point to it. Over the decades, as with the Theory of Evolution, a very sophisticated set of ideas has been woven around Big Bang cosmogony.
Krauss has referred often to stardust. "We are all made of stardust," he has opined. The reason for this assertion is an evolutionary concept of the birth, life, and death of stars. Big Bangers have an explanation for how they believe stars formed from the original universal matter and began nuclear fusion. However, these models do not suggest a route to producing enough of the heavier elements found in the universe. So, scientists like Krauss suggest that these stars eventually die and explode, and new stars grow from the older, exploded stardust. He supposes that the only reason we, as humans, could have evolved is because of the production of gradually heavier elements, by second- and third-generation stars. Krauss says, "Forget Jesus – the stars died that we might live." Krauss, like his biology parallel Richard Dawkins, believes in presenting a kind of awe of science to young people. So it is to the stars that he supposes this awe must be directed because they are our saviors.
The Bible, in contrast, explains that the stars are not a subject for awe, except in the sense that they point us to God, so that we worship Him.

Tullie Brae Band
The soulful blues singer and multi-instrumentalist credits her gift to her roots in gospel music, like so many great and soul singers before her. Her musical journey started when she began singing in church where her Dad was a preacher. She played piano, drums, bass and guitar and early on assumed the role of choir director. Her artistic reputation grew within the gospel community which led to touring professionally with gospel groups.
Not only are Tullie's influences steeped in gospel music, while traveling and performing she was influenced by the sounds of Blues, Soul, Country and Rock 'n Roll. If you were privy to Tullie's ipod "favorites", you would discover a broad spectrum of musical genres and eras. A few of the artists include Elvis Presley, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, Etta James, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Joe Bonamassa, Melissa Etheridge, India Arie and Paul Thorn.
You may have recently seen Tullie and her band on the Main Stage at the King Biscuit Blues Festival. You may have also seen her perform at the Garvin Gate Festival, The Juke Joint Festival, Smoke on the Water-Blues For A Cause and many more other great festivals. She has also headlined multiple club dates such as Hard Rock Café, B.B. King's, Slippery Noodle, B.B.'s Lawnside, Club Ebony while also performing on television and radio. While on tour she has opened for the Blues King himself, B.B. King, celebrating his birthday. Tullie has enjoyed sharing the stage with artists such as Paul Thorn, Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt, Ruthie Foster, Chicago Rhythm and Blues Kings, Bobby Rush, Cedric Burnside, Lightnin' Malcolm, Jimbo Mathus, Jimmy Thackery, Big Jack Johnson and Terry "Harmonica" Bean among many more talented artists. You will see and feel Tullie's heart and soul during her performances, whether it's her original material or a cover that has been "Tullie-ized".
The Doug Hart Band has been a major force in the southwest Ohio blues scene for several years. Doug constantly strives to put forth the best product and deliver the best show possible. The band incorporates free form, yet controlled versions of many blues standards along with the blending of Doug's blues and rock influences to form creative original compositions.
Having played several major festivals and as winners of the 2013 Dayton Blues Challenge, 2014 Black Swamp Blues Challenge, several 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the Cincinnati and Columbus Blues Challenges and semifinalists in the 2013 & 2014 International Blues Challenge, they have proven over and over they can take the stage with anyone.
He has enlisted the veteran talents of bassist Mike Hausfeld and drummer Oscar Bernal to complete his band. Together, they never fail to amaze their audience with the soul and passion of their performance… The Doug Hart Band will definitely leave you wanting more.
Tempted Souls brings together a wide range of backgrounds and talents to play an eclectic blend of soul, rock, classic R&B, blues, and standards with a blues feel. The members of Tempted Souls pride themselves on performing songs that are somewhat obscure or eclectic, but still approachable and usually danceable.
Formed by guitarist Mark Bubash, Tempted Souls have been around the Cincinnati music scene since 2004. The band was ranked in the top ten at the Cincy Blues Challenge five times and was invited to play as many times at the Cincy Blues Fest. The band has also headlined many other local and regional festivals.
Guitarist Mark Bubash grew up in a musical family, and has played many bands over the years, including Little Chicago. Drummer John Griffin played in Rare Form and met Mark when they played together in their church band.
"Excellent vocals backed by top-notch players, what else could one ask for? They have an obvious admiration and genuine feel for the blues. No bumps in this blues road as it is a seamless project that makes no wrong turns." --Blues Blast Magazine 2015
Lil' Red found a French Rooster … Pascal Fouquet. This Rooster brought together some prize French Coqs including harmonicist Thomas Troussier, Bassist Jeff Vincendeau and drummer Denis Agenet.
These lean charming Frenchies churn out some fat traditional electric band blues including Jump, Boogie, Chicago, Texas, Post-war Rhythm & Blues and have been known to get a little jazzy always with a sheen of what Lil' Red calls "punk blues". Originals and covers of Memphis Slim, Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, Lazy Lester, T-Bone Walker, Little Willie John and Andre Williams.
This group came together for the first time in the studio for the recording of their debut CD "Out Of The Coop!", then premiered live at Le Nuit du Blues in Caen, France to an audience of 1,200. These fine-tuned artists led by Lil' Red have an itch in their tail feathers and are ready to crow!!!!
Pianist and vocalist BEN LEVIN built an impressive resume by the time he was in his teens: performing regularly with his father's band The Heaters; special guest on several occasions at the annual Piano Stomp held in Iowa City by fellow pianist Chase Garrett; and as part of the lineup at both the Arches Boogie Piano Stage (part of the Cincy Blues Fest) and Ricky Nye's Sixteenth Annual Blues & Boogie Piano Summit. Now, Ben is a formidable musician performing on a weekly basis around the Greater Cincinnati area.
BEN LEVIN & THE HEATERS will be bringing the sounds of Chicago blues, boogie woogie and New Orleans to the Southgate House Revival. It will be a special show, with Roger Bates on drums, Ben's father Aron Levin on guitar, and Chris Douglas on upright bass.
Singer-Songwriter Brian Keith Wallen is on the road all the time. From coast to coast and beyond, Brian is spreading his blend of blues-influenced acoustic music across the world. His award winning combination of storytelling and lightning licks on guitar will never let you forget his name. In just a few years, Brian has released multiple albums and performed over 1,000 shows in 26 states.
Brian won 2nd place in the 2015 International Blues Challenge, ranking in the top two out of hundreds of artists from all over the world. He was also named "Artist of the Year" by the Starr-Gennett Foundation. Brian has brought his foot-stomping, one-man show to timeless treasures, such as Dollywood and the Ryman Auditorium. He will be touring Europe in Spring 2017.
RICKY NYE (Rick Neiheisel) was born in Cincinnati in 1956, and was bitten by the music bug at the age of five.

Hi everyone! I wanted to see if I could get some recommendations and thought to come here.
I wanted to know if anyone could recommend any good romances that have to do with music or with musician characters. I'd prefer it if they weren't overly graphic/erotic, if that's a concern. If anyone could give some recommendations, that'd be nice!

Any Way You Want It by Kathy Love is about a lampire who was a famous composer. http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780758218568-Any+Way+You+Want+It
there's a silhouette romantic suspense that deals with music too by merline lovelace..I'll look for the title - Closer Encounters http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780373275090-Closer+Encounters+Intimate+Moments
not sure if this is what you're looking for though since music isn't the main focus but is part of the story - the Kathy Love books is the first in a series or trilogy but the 2nd book isn't about the same couple

Let's see.....off the top of my head:
Liz Carlyle's Two Little Lies; I believe the heroine is an opera singer
Laura Lee Gurhke's - His Every Kiss; the hero is a composer and the heroine has some musical ability, too
Christine Feehan has a couple with either the hero or heroine being a musician, can't remember the titles though, they all kind of run together for me
One of the stories in Nora Roberts' Stanislaski family features a former ballet dancer who marries a composer; it's the one with Natasha
Out of these, the only one I really recommend is His Every Kiss
Small Town Girl-LaVyrle Spencer. Small town girl hits it big in the country music scene, now a famous singer she returns home to help her ailing mother and falls in love with the guy she spurned so many years ago.

Cha Seong-Geun
[Interpreted] Good morning and good afternoon and evening to those calling in from abroad. This is Cha Seong-Geun, the Head of IR at SK Hynix. Welcome to the SK Hynix 2016 Second Quarter Earnings Release Conference Call.
Before starting the conference call, allow me to introduce the executives present here with me today. First, President Kim Jun-Ho, Head of Corporate Support; Senior Vice President and CFO, Lee Myeong-Yeong; Vice President Pang Me-Hak [ph], in charge of the DRAM Marketing Group; and Vice President Kim Young-Ne [ph], in charge of the NAND Marketing Group.
Let me issue a disclaimer that all outlooks presented by the Company are subject to change, depending on the macroeconomic and market circumstances.
With that, we will now begin SK Hynix 2016 second quarter earnings release conference call. Let me now turn over to President Kim Jun-Ho to present the first quarter earnings and the Company's plan and outlook.
Kim Jun-Ho
[Interpreted] Good morning. This is Kim Jun-Ho, in charge of SK Hynix Corporate Support. Let me begin with a review of our financial performance in the second quarter of 2016.
Even as the global economy and financial market remained volatile in the second quarter, demand for memory products recovered since the first quarter, leading to a higher-than-planned bit shipment growth in both DRAM and NAND. Despite a slightly stronger Korean won and continued slump in the ASP, sales grew from the previous quarter. Second quarter consolidated sales totaled KRW3.941 trillion, an 8% increase from the previous quarter.
DRAM bit shipment rose by 18% quarter on quarter on the back of strong mobile demand and recovering demand for computing DRAM that started from the end of the second quarter. ASP fell by 11% quarter on quarter, a slower drop than in the previous quarter, although it continued to fell across most products.
For NAND Flash, bit shipment rose 52% quarter on quarter, demand for mobile embedded products recovered, while demand for SSD continued to increase. There was also a base effect from the first quarter, but ASP fell by 11%, the same pace as in the previous quarter as prices for solution products fell and the sales portion of the lower-priced TLC-based products rose.
Sales portion rose to 21%, the highest ever in a quarter. Chinese smartphone makers continued with inventory build-up and adoption of higher-density products.
In terms of profitability, our operating profit in the second quarter was KRW453 billion, a decrease of 19% quarter on quarter, with operating profit margin of 11%. Cost of goods sold increased 15% quarter on quarter due to increase in DRAM and NAND bit shipment. SG&A rose 6% from the previous quarter, owing to the rise in R&D expenditure.
For DRAM the drop in ASP could not be completely offset by cost reduction because of the increased portion of the higher-cost non-PC DRAM products and high cost requirement in the initial stage of migration to new products. For NAND, however, profitability improved, thanks to cost reduction offsetting the ASP drop. High bit shipment growth more evenly distributed the fixed cost and there was increase in the portion of relatively low-cost products such as TLC.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter was KRW1.125 trillion, a slight increase from the previous quarter. EBITDA was KRW1.578 trillion, representing an EBITDA margin of 40%.
There was a net non-operating expense of KRW70 billion from transaction loss resulting from the recovery of account receivables as the Korean won appreciated in the second quarter. There was recognition of KRW97 billion in corporate tax for the second quarter. Our net profit after corporate tax for the quarter was KRW286 billion, with a net profit margin of 7%.
Consolidated cash balance as of the quarter-end was KRW3.433 trillion, a decrease by approximately KRW824 billion from the previous quarter. There was payment of corporate tax for the fiscal year of 2015, as well as dividend payout. Our interest-bearing debt stood at KRW4.355 trillion, a decrease by KRW26 billion from the previous quarter. Debt-to-equity ratio at the end of the second quarter was 20%, the same as in the previous quarter, and net debt to equity ratio was 4%, a slight increase from the previous quarter.
Next I would like to discuss the Company's market outlook and its plan for the next quarter.
For DRAM there is now recovery in the PC DRAM spot price which had been leading the ASP drop. Unlike in the first quarter when demand remained sluggish, oversupply in PC DRAM is easing, thanks to reduced inventory levels among PC and server providers, especially towards the end of the second quarter.
Particularly for mobile DRAM, we experienced robust demand, thanks to inventory build-up and adoption of higher-density products by Chinese smartphone makers and resumed purchasing by major smartphone makers to launch new models.
We look forward to the positive trend continuing into the third quarter. PC clients appear to be on an active inventory build-up to be ready for the seasonal demand in the second half. Such demand/supply dynamics in PC DRAM is likely to have a positive impact on the server DRAM market as well.
For mobile DRAM, the robust demand coming from Chinese smartphone makers from early this year is expected to continue. It is likely to be accelerated by the increase in their content per box. Seasonality is expected to have a positive impact on mobile DRAM given that the third quarter traditionally sees a jump in customers demand for new smartphones.
From the supply side, bit shipment growth is expected from seasonal factors and with increase in the portion of 20 nano. However, along with suppliers' product mix shift from PC DRAM to mobile and server DRAM, we foresee demand/supply to balance out in the second half.
In the NAND market, a positive environment that took shape in the first quarter improved further in the second quarter as the spot price for major products continued to rise. Demand is gaining traction for SSD, not only in client SSD but also in enterprise SSD for storage providers. This is thanks to the improved price competitiveness of SSD as NAND price steadily declined.
In addition, there are strong moves by Chinese smartphone providers to build up inventory just like in the DRAM market. And the expectation that NAND content per box will increase in the new mobile products to be launched in the second half appears to have had a positive impact in the market in general.
Demand is expected to be even more favorable in the third quarter than in the second quarter, thanks to seasonality. 2D NAND supply will remain limited, while increase in 3D NAND supply remains uncertain. In the second half, there will be new mobile product launches, increase in the content per box, and increase in demand for high-capacity SSD following the launch of new platforms for PC and robust demand for enterprise SSDs.
DRAM bit shipment growth is expected to be in the high single digit in the third quarter, which will make the shipment growth for the year to be low to mid 20%, in line with market growth.
Production for 2z nano increased from the second quarter as planned, led by computing DRAM products. 2Z nano production also started for mobile DRAM from the late second quarter, to be ready for the demand for new products in the second half. The pace of increase in 2z nano will be dependent on the growth in demand for DDR4 and LPDDR4 expected to reach around 40% of total DRAM production by the end of this year.
For NAND Flash, bit shipment increased in the third quarter and is expected to be around low-teen level, led by increase in the content per box in new mobile products and increasing demand for SSD. We will keep increasing the portion of 14 nano products which started in the second quarter. Thanks to the overall strong demand, bit shipment growth in the market is expected to be around low 40% level for the year. The Company expects to outperform the market with a high 40% level bit shipment growth.
Meanwhile, we have been expanding the high-density eMMC [ph] generation 3D NAND products for [ph] mobile in the second quarter. Third-generation products will be developed and made available for sale within the second half of this year. We plan to be ready for the new 3D NAND market by securing a 3D capacity of 20,000 to 30,000 wafers by the end of this year.
For the remainder of this year, SK Hynix will keep striving to improve our technological competitiveness. We kindly ask for our shareholders' and investors' continued interest and support.
This concludes my report. Thank you.
Cha Seong-Geun
[Interpreted] And with that, we are now ready to take your questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Interpreted] Now Q&A session will begin. [Operator Instructions]
The first questions will be presented by Mr. Peter Seicheol from NH Investment Securities. Please go ahead, sir.
Peter Seicheol - NH Investment Securities
[Interpreted] Now I have two questions, one is about the DRAM, the other is for the NAND market. First, about the DRAM market, it seems as if the market seems to be relatively stable these days, especially with the spot prices rising. Now I wonder what SK Hynix's strategy is amidst this environment. So, are you going to, especially for the DRAM, are you going to focus more on profitability or increasing market share?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] That's a tough question, I must say, but basically SK Hynix's strategy remains that we are going to keep trying to increase market share while putting our priority on profitability.
Peter Seicheol - NH Investment Securities
[Interpreted] Now the second question is about NAND. So as you have mentioned, the demand for SSD is growing and there is also a faster spread and development for 3D NAND as well. And since as if there is growing investment not only domestically but also outside Korea as well, so I wonder what the development phase for a 3D NAND is in SK Hynix and what is your migration to the next-generation 3D NAND going forward.
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now I would like to field the question about the 3D NAND. Now the 3D NAND development is underway, and so as we have explained earlier, the second-generation 3D NAND products, mostly in the form of MLC products, have gone into mass production in the second quarter, and we have already started shipping these products for mobile.
And then the third-generation product, the TLC, we believe that we will be able to complete the development of TLC products within the second half of this year to start shipping for mobile in the second half.
And then about the CapEx for 3D NAND, as President Kim Jun-Ho mentioned in his report, our plan is to secure the capacity for 3D NAND up to 20,000 to 30,000 wafers by the end of this year.
And investment and production will focus on 36-stack product until the third quarter. And then from the fourth quarter we will shift our focus to the 48-stack product.
[Interpreted] The next questions will be presented by Mr. Yoo Jong Woo from Korean Investment and Securities. Please go ahead, sir.
Yoo Jong Woo - Korean Investment and Securities
[Interpreted] Now I have two questions about DRAM. First is that, it seems that there are some lingering concerns in the market about the customer qualification and supply for the mobile to second-generation products. So I would like to just ask about the status about your customer qualification and supply for 2Z nano products -- sorry, 2Z nano products?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now for the mobile 2Z nano products, for example, the 4D eMCP, now they are ready, so, qualification is currently underway. And for most of the major clients, our mass production has already begun.
Yoo Jong Woo - Korean Investment and Securities
[Interpreted] Now next question is about the inventory. So it seems as if there has been a reduction in inventory in the second quarter compared to the first quarter for the first time in a long time. So perhaps that is because your bit shipment exceeded the production bit in the second quarter. So now then, in the third quarter, what is your projection for DRAM? So, do you believe that again the bit shipment is going to outnumber production bit?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Yes, it is true that the inventory level, which stood at around three weeks at the end of the first quarter fell to about -- around two weeks in the second quarter, and that is because, as you have mentioned, the bit shipments outnumbered the production bit. And we believe that this trend is likely to continue into the third quarter, meaning that there is going to be more bits sold than produced, and this will further lower the inventory level.
[Interpreted] The next questions will be presented by Mr. Ricky Seo from HSBC. Please go ahead, sir.
Ricky Seo - HSBC
[Interpreted] Now my question is regarding CapEx. You mentioned last time that there was a possibility that the CapEx might be about 10% lower than your projection in the early part of this year. So I wonder now then, does this projection still stand, because it seems as if for the 3D NAND the capacity build that is not going to be by much, so, is your projection for the CapEx still valid for the remainder of this year as well?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Yes. Our CapEx plan remains largely unchanged from the early part of this year, so we believe that it is going to be about 10% lower than last year's level, to be around KRW6 trillion. In the first half, about 50% has already been spent and KRW3 trillion will be additionally spent in the second quarter.
Ricky Seo - HSBC
[Interpreted] Now next question is perhaps more for the long term, and that is for the automotive memory. So if you are making investment already into this, then what is the projected scale for both DRAM and NAND? And also if there are, let's say, for automotive memory, if there are any contracts, then, are there any specificities just for the automotive memory? So for example, do the clients require some specific criteria for -- in terms of the processes or in terms of the contract provisions? And what is your overall preparation for automotive products?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now in terms of automotive products for SK Hynix, we are currently conducting business, mostly on the car infotainment market, where the market already has been shaped. So for the DRAM, out of the total consumer products, it's a little over 10%. And for NAND, the portion is slightly lower than that but it is catching up very quickly to the DRAM level.
And now for the newly-emerging markets of ADAS and self-driving cars, now for both these segments, we are already mass producing in -- starting from 2015. In terms of the -- in terms of the quality, now we are not there yet for the -- so, not for the self-driving yet, but then for the AECQ 100 [ph], we are already fulfilling this standard. And then also for the ISO 26262 and ASILBQ [ph], so once these standards are standardized, then of course we will try to fulfill them as well. And in such a case, it will be mostly about safety, so, safety and also reliability and performance under high temperature.
And our strategy is to focus on self-driving cars and ADAS because they seem to present the most promising growth potential.
[Interpreted] The next questions will be presented by Mr. Do Hyun-Woo from Mirae Asset Securities. Please go ahead, sir.
Do Hyun-Woo - Mirae Asset Securities
[Interpreted] My question is about the current computing trend and how this is going to impact the demand for server DRAM, because what we are seeing now is that, for the computing work, for the, let's say, for computing tasks, that will require dozens of servers. Now the trend today is to replace this with just one server using CPU or FPGA. So if that is the case, and I believe that it would also have a negative impact on the server DRAM, so, what is Hynix's take on the current new trend and how do you plan to respond to this?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now for the server system, in addition to the current CPU, we are also adding the GPU in order to assist quicker, higher performance computing. But then this is not replacing memory, this is just being added, the GPU is just being added to the existing memory. So we do not believe that this is going to reduce the demand for DRAM memory.
[Interpreted] The next questions will be presented by Mr. Nicolas Gaudois from UBS. Please go ahead, sir.
Nicholas Gaudois - UBS
[Interpreted] Yes, good morning. Thanks for taking my question.
First one is on your progresses for 48 layers 3-bit cell in NAND. You said you will be moving towards mass production by later this year. How do you assess your progresses and the key milestones ahead for, number one, the actual NAND technology itself [inaudible]? And number two, your microcontroller solutions, since I understand that for 48 layers TLC, unlike 36 layers, it will start to use your own microcontrollers going forward. Thank you. And I got a follow-up on DRAM. Thanks.
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now about our NAND overall, now for mobile, the 36-stack product has been launched already, and then in addition to that, the 1Z nano product we have already security yield for mass production and now it has already been - started shipping in the second quarter.
And about the 48-stack, we believe that the first placeholder for this would also be mobile. And now as we have explained in the last quarter, it would -- the timing of the mass production of the 48-stack product would depend on how soon we can secure the yield for mass production. And we believe that that is going to be in the third quarter, or, at the latest, by the fourth quarter. So we are confident that we will be able to secure the yield for mass production for the 48-stack products by the fourth quarter at the latest.
Now for the controller for the 48-stack and the 36-stack products, now for the 36-stack controller, for mobile, we have already adopted the controller for the 2D and it seems as if there are no problems in using this for mass production. And therefore, the 48-stack product, likewise, we are going to modify the controller used for mobile and the SSD and we believe that this will be enough to support the 48-stack products as well.
Cha Seong-Geun
Your second question please?
Nicholas Gaudois - UBS
Thanks so much. On, second question is on DRAM. Just to clarify, when you said you started mass production already for most of your large customers for 20nm, LPDDR and DDR4 in particular, should I assume you have started production for your largest customer in particular? And if so, how much of a further [ph] shift could you see in volumes from PC DRAM to mobile DRAM into the third quarter versus Q2?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now for the PC and mobile, yes, we have started mass production in the second quarter for major OEMs, so I don't know what you mean by the largest customer. But then we have started the mass production for major OEMs. And then for server products, the qualification is currently underway for the OEM clients and they are about to be finished, so we believe that we will go into mass production in the third quarter.
And then I think your -- the other question was pertaining to the projected portion between the PC and the mobile DRAM. Now for the year, for the year of 2016, PC DRAM will account for about 20% or less than that. So, no more than 20% out of the production, while -- whereas mobile, it's going to be over 40%. And I believe that the gap between these two is going to become even bigger in the second half.
Cha Seong-Geun
[Interpreted] We will take two more questions because of the time constraint.
[Interpreted] The next questions will be presented by Mr. JJ Park from JPMorgan. Please go ahead, sir.
JJ Park - JPMorgan
[Interpreted] I have one question each for DRAM and NAND. Now for DRAM, in the second quarter, the margin has dropped, and it was explained that the cost for the non-PC DRAM is higher. Now then in terms of the profitability in the second quarter, now even the PC DRAM prices have fallen. So, does this mean that the profitability is still better than the non-PC DRAM products?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now I will try to answer the question to the extent that I have understood it. Now in terms of the profitability by application up to the second quarter, I would say that the non-PC side is higher than the PC side, but then this operating margin gap is reducing as we move along from the second quarter to the third quarter.
And looking at the blended margin then, we see that the -- as of the end of the second quarter, now, we do have the margin that we have seen, but then as we move into the third quarter and the remainder of this year, we believe that the fall in the price will be lesser than the cost reduction that we can achieve, meaning that we will be able to improve on the operating margin going forward.
JJ Park - JPMorgan
[Interpreted] Now my next question is about the NAND. So, what is SK Hynix's overall strategy for 3D NAND? And you mentioned that your target capacity by the end of this year is 20,000 to 30,000, which seems quite small-scale compared to the other players, and so what is your target capacity for 3D NAND by the end of 2017? And then another question in relation to that is, now, there is prediction that the NAND market size is going to be bigger than DRAM market by next year, but it seems as if SK Hynix's CapEx so far has been mostly on the DRAM side. So I wonder what is your -- what is the size of your CapEx in NAND. And also for -- as we move more towards SSD, then it seems as if the controller solution will become more important. So I wonder, for the SSD going forward, are you going to use your self-developed proprietary controller or are you going to keep using the controller solution from Company S [ph]?
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now three questions in all it seems. Now first, about the 3D NAND. Our plan for next year was the question. Now for this year, we -- it seems as if we are going to outperform the industry in terms of the bit growth. And if it is thanks mostly to the increase in the portion of TLC and 1Z nano, then that means that -- so we were able to improve the -- increase the bit growth over the other players, thanks to that. That means that we will continue with our bit growth into next year, mostly led by the 3D products.
And although I cannot tell you the exact portion of 3D NAND, but as for the end of 2017, our projection is that over 50% of the output will be in 3D NAND.
And now for the controller, on one hand, yes, it is true that the applications for NAND continue to change and increase, then also for the same NAND products, we see NAND products with different architectures. So for example, 3D NAND, which also requires different types of controllers. But now 3D NAND is still NAND. So, on one hand we plan to make active use of the existing NAND controllers. But then we do not plan to keep using the 2D NAND controllers at the sacrifice of performance or reliability, but we believe that up to fourth-generation products, we will be, for many of the SSD controllers, we will be using the Company's self-developed controllers.
And next was about the -- our planned CapEx for NAND. Now it was mentioned already that by -- our plan is to increase up to 30,000 capacity for 3D NAND by the end of this year. And for us to go beyond the capacity would require additional space. So in the second half we will work on trying to secure more space for additional NAND capacity. And once we do that, then, in the first half of next year, there would be additional CapEx into 3D NAND.
So for this year, out of the CapEx, there is also the construction cost included for -- in order to build out the space for NAND. So, overall the CapEx is about seven to three, meaning seven for DRAM and three for NAND. And for next year, the construction for NAND is not included, but even if we exclude that, the NAND would still account for about 30% to 35% of the CapEx.
Cha Seong-Geun
[Interpreted] This should be the last question.
[Interpreted] The last questions will be presented by Mr. Simon Woo from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Please go ahead, sir.
Simon Woo - Bank of America Merrill Lynch
[Interpreted] Now first of all, congratulations on the good performance despite the adverse condition. Now my question is about the DRAM and it seems as if your mass production to -- for 2Z and 21 nano, in terms of the, let's say, the migration to finer [ph] technology, it seems your mass production of 2Z and 21 nano, let's say, compared to one year ago or six months ago, by SK Hynix, or even compared to other players like those in the U.S. or domestic, it seems as if the mass production of the 2Z and 21 nano is not -- still not very high. So what do you believe are the barriers against it? And when do you believe that those areas would be eased and resolved so that you will be able to reach 40% of the DRAM by the end of this year? And when do you believe that you could reach up to a 60% or 70%? And also, when do you believe that you can also move on to 1x node?
And I believe that you would have to inevitably use the EUV, so, when do you think you would be able to reach 100 per hour in order to use this on the critical layer as well, up to like, for example, 10 nano? So, do you have a roadmap for this as well? Can you also share that with us? Thank you.
Unidentified Company Representative
[Interpreted] Now in terms of the delay in the ramp-up of the production for 2Z nano, of course, on one hand, yes, there was, let's say, some technological gap at the company itself, but I would say that the bigger cause is the change in the market demand or the market environment, meaning that in the beginning we were focusing on developing the 2Z for PC DRAM, but then, now the demand is shifting more towards the server and the mobile side, which actually requires technology for more challenging products. So in order for us to do the mass production for these server and the mobile side, which are technologically tougher, this is actually requiring more time.
So one evidence of that is, now, of the 2Z nano, which is planned to take up about 40% by the end of this year, initially our plan in terms of the order or the volume of production was PC, server and mobile. But then now the order in the volume has changed from -- to mobile and then server. And also, looking at the total percentage, then out of the total, 20 nano would take about 40%, but then out of mobile it will be over 50%.
About the EUV, now up to 1x nano, the Company plans to do the development without the EUV by the -- until the end of this year for 1x nano. And then for the 1y nano, so we are also planning to start the development for the 1y nano. And for this, now the EUV that has been used for R&D, we might use this for some of the backup processes for some of the layers, but then whether the EUV will be adopted in full for 1y nano, that is something that we cannot say at this point. But then one thing is for sure, and that is we will use EUV for mass production of 1Z nano, and that is going to be in 2019.
Simon Woo - Bank of America Merrill Lynch
[Interpreted] Thank you very much for the very clear answers. And my last question is about the M14 wafer capacity. Is it up to 20,000 now? And by the end of next year, is it going to be up to 50,000, 100,000? What is the plan?

[Interpreted] For M14, some of the facilities are new, some have been relocated from M10 and are being rearranged. So the capacity at M14 is up to 30,000 now. And as we migrate to 2Z nano, we believe that the M14's portion is going to increase.

State health officials in an article in the prestigious Journal of the
The article, which appeared first in Friday's online edition of the medical journal, comes as the country still reels from a national
The article, co-authored by Maryland Health Secretary Joshua M. Sharfstein and two other officials, said that a compounding trade group brags on its website that "compounding has experienced a renaissance as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacies to customize medications to meet specific needs."
The authors counter that: "The debacle at the New England Compounding Center, however, indicaties that compounding has yet to fully emerge from the Dark Ages."
State epidemiologist Dr. David Blythe and Dr. Lucy Wilson, chief of Maryland's infection prevention and outbreak response program, helped to write the article.
"All compounding pharmacies must take responsibility for the quality of what they produce," they write.
The nationwide menigitis outbreak has sickened 328 people and killed 24 in 18 states. In Maryland, 17 people have been sickened and one has died.
Look for a complete article later today.

Because I have a tendency to overthink things, and think about everything all at once, I also have a tendency to lose focus. Worse than Shiny Object Syndrome, I chase after every loose thread and potential idea, technique, or subject.
I posted a week ago about dialing back my social media usage. That extra time led to reading, watching tutorial videos, and playing with paint. Of course, it also led to me getting distracted by everything I found in the reading and videos, which led to researching to learn more. Before I knew it, a week had passed without even a glance at the blog.
At this point, I realize I need to refocus. While those tangents are fun learning experiences, I want to actually do things, not just chase ideas. Because they're fun, though, I want to keep them in the schedule. But they're going on the secondary list.
Meanwhile, I am now 17 days in to my 100 day project.
I apologize for the table and books blocking the corner. It's difficult to get this behemoth in a position to take photos. But you can still see the amount of layers and mark-making that are already on the panel.
I love how so many layers are visible at the same time. Later in the project, I will start working on pushing things back, bringing other things forward, and creating a cohesive piece. All of these marks will end up adding texture and depth to the finished product. For now, though, the marks and layers are an important part of focusing on the process and enjoying the journey.

Periodically I come across a new product or service that may be of interest to readers. Here are four to consider:
Latest shingles vaccine. On the nightly news recently I heard about a new, more effective shingles vaccine. I plan to talk to my doctor about it at my physical this month.
Shingrix, approved by the FDA in October 2017, is more than 90 percent effective at preventing shingles, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The old vaccine's success rate was 51 percent.
The CDC recommends that healthy adults ages 50 and older get the Shingrix vaccine. This includes individuals who had the earlier shingles vaccine and those who've had a prior case of shingles.
Two doses two to six months apart are required to ensure longterm protection.
The vaccine is available now, but it's in limited supply.
There are a few contraindications to getting the vaccine, so be sure to talk with your doctor.
I recently assisted in moderating a local research study of individuals who took six or more prescription medications a day.
Some participants spoke of needing to take pills with food, while others needed to take their medication on an empty stomach. Some were required to split their pills, and some needed to modify their dosage daily depending on their health condition.
Still others spoke of changing pill shape, size and even form as their pharmacy changed generic providers.
To an observer like me, the process of scheduling and taking all these medications was complicated and involved, even though almost all study participants had adjusted to their regimen.
One person said they take 44 pills per day. Another carried in his wallet a long list of all the medications he was required to take daily, just so he could remember all of them and what they're for.
Like it or not, we are a society of pill takers.
In almost every case, those who volunteer express a desire to give what they're capable of to a cause that is meaningful to them—and to make a difference along the way.
The process of connecting a volunteer to the opportunity that fits them best has always been fascinating to me. With scores of possibilities available in every community, how does one choose where to offer their time and talents?
There are plenty of reasons or situations that motivate a person to lend a helping hand: school or civic group requirements, kids in school/empty nesters/newly retired with time on their hands, a friend's experience or a professional-development opportunity, among others.
There's also an important self-motivated aspect: Volunteers (consciously or unconsciously) want to get something out of their experience.
We've all heard the refrain that volunteers receive more than they give. But what exactly are they receiving?
My mother has become a cleaning and organizing machine. Ever since my father died she has been cleaning closets, purging files, organizing shelves and rearranging furniture.
The fact is, her home has always been immaculate. My sisters and I joke that we could eat off the floor.
For years my mother has systematically pared down her possessions by giving stuff to others, selling items at yard sales and donating to charity. And my mother's organizational skills rival those of Martha Stewart.
So why this sudden extra energetic spurt of tidiness?
I think several things are at work (besides my mother).
Whether it is a conscious thing or not, I suspect that my mother is feeling a level of anxiety as a new widow. A spouse's death can trigger stress.
My current driver's license will expire in July of this year. I'm eligible to renew online, but if I do, I will receive a federally restricted license that will not be considered a valid form of identification to board a domestic flight in the future.
As of October 2020, a new type of license, called REAL ID, will be required to board all U.S. flights and to enter certain federal facilities. A REAL ID card is a federally approved card that will be accepted by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials at the airport.
Since California driver's licenses expire every five years, it makes sense for me to apply for a REAL ID with this upcoming renewal. But this needs to be done in person.
I was unfamiliar with REAL ID and the deadline until a friend pointed it out to me. I would have thought I was so efficient renewing online, only to find out later that I, along with millions of other Californians, will want to obtain a REAL ID in the next two years.
My husband and I did some "just in case" planning recently before an upcoming trip. We asked our trusted pet sitter and friend if she would be willing to care for our dog should anything happen to us. We made sure she realized it might be for just a short while but could also be long-term.
Fortunately for us, she said yes.
Each year millions of animals are placed in shelters due to the illness or death of their owners. Fewer than 20 percent of seniors who are pet owners have made legal or financial provisions for the care of their pet should something happen to them.
Adding to those facts, 52 percent of all the people over age 75 in the U.S. live alone. Many of them have dogs, cats or other pets sharing their lives.
If something happens to them, there is no spouse or partner to take over.
In the confusion that ensues after an illness, accident or death, the senior's pet may get lost in the shuffle.
My father passed away Jan. 23 after a long, brave battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 86. When he took his last breath, my mother and sister and his hospice aide were by his side.
Those of you who read my column may remember that I frequently wrote about my father and his journey. He was on hospice for six months. While his passing was expected, it was still a time when a myriad of emotions were running through our heads.
My other sister and I and our spouses flew home to New Hampshire the day after his death.
Our sister who lives locally was at my mother's house when we arrived, as were her husband and their two children, who all work for the same employer.
It was probably one of the few times that three people all took the exact same bereavement leave.
My husband and I recently made an investment in a Google Home Mini (on sale for $39.95). I had heard about how this smart speaker that responds to your voice could be fun and useful.
You've probably heard about the Google Home and Amazon Echo devices, the latter commonly referred to as "Alexa." Essentially, they're smart speakers that respond to your voice for hands-free help around the house.
I selected a Google device because it runs on a Gmail account and I already have one of those set up. This 4-inch orb has become one of my new best friends.
From a practical standpoint, it has set wake-up alarms for me and timers for cooking, found my cellphone by calling it when it was lost in the house, and told me whether it would rain the day of my outdoor staff get-together. It also compiles my shopping list as I think of things I need during the week.
I was disabused of that belief several years ago when I was attending a CPR and first-aid training session for employees of Senior Concerns in Thousand Oaks. Such training is mandatory because Senior Concerns is a licensed adult day care facility.
Our teacher asked us, "Who is the best person to perform CPR in an emergency?"
Being the Type A personality that I am, I immediately raised my hand and replied, "A doctor or a nurse."
"Wrong," the teacher said. "The best person to perform CPR in an emergency is you."
You see, my father's been on hospice for six months.
I'm aware that the amount of time he has been on hospice is not directly related to the timing of his death. I keep reminding myself Art Buchwald lived for over a year after his initial hospice placement and wrote a book during that time.
It's the other things that have been happening.
My father has lost his ability to stand or even move himself in bed. He's incontinent. He sleeps almost all day long, and when he wakes, he is groggy and his eyes are closed.

When changing your water filter you don't have to waste water. Whether you have a water filter in your refrigerator, a water filter faucet, or a water filter pitcher they have something in common. Directions for the new filters say to run the water for quite a while or fill the pitcher a couple of times before considering the water drinkable. But you don't have to just let that water run down the drain! Capture it in pitchers, and use it to water plants, or pre rinse dishes. It is still good water, just not filtered yet!
Water saving advice
Quick Tip for Friday – changing water filters
Quick Tip for Friday: water-wise help for trees
Borrowing a post from another blog again for today's Quick Tip for Friday
Be water-wise to help your trees survive the drought « Invest From the Ground Up.
Quick tip for Friday-Water saving tip-check your water bill
How closely to you check your water bill?
Reading the comparison information regarding USAGE may be the surest way to look for bigger problems.
Are you taking shorter showers and still paying more? We get accustomed to the prices of everything increasing, do you forgot to look how much water you are actually using and not just how much you are paying?
Increases in consumption can indicate a need to change habits, update appliances or serve as a warning for leaks in the household.
Put into practice the water saving tips we hear all the time (if you are not already doing so):
- Take shorter showers
- Don't run the water while brushing your teeth
- Run only full loads of dishwasher or washing machine
- Reduce watering days for lawns etc to 1 or 2 days a week
If you don't see enough change in consumption for the next billing cycle it may be a good idea to check for leaks or consider updating water using appliances such as dishwashers, toilets, washing machines, etc.
Repairing a sprinkler line
Follow up to my last post where I very easily fixed a watering system problem, because sometimes a leak in a watering system is more complicated than a screw off sprinkler head. For one thing, not all sprinkler heads attach that easily. 🙂
A break or hole in the line can be more challenging, to discover and to repair.
In this case there was damage caused to one of the pipes leading from one nozzle to the other. It was a pretty good-sized hole and a substantial leak. Luckily being in between two small rose plants bordering the space between the lawn and sidewalk made it quickly noticed by the homeowner.
However, there was only a small area to work with without disturbing the plants, as the 2 roses were only a few feet apart and that was a bit challenging.
Typically this repair is done by cutting out the broken section and replacing it with a larger diameter piece, but it takes a little room to work so you can cut, then get a good seal and apply the glue without a bunch of dirt getting in the line. I was in the neighborhood of my favorite hardware store, Kurt True Value, so I dashed over there for supplies.
I saw this and decided it just might be the answer to the cramped condition I was working with and I was back out the door!
As you can see I didn't even have to make the hole any larger to complete repair. I cleared as much dirt as possible from the line with my shop vac and snapped the repair coupling over the existing line. Per the instructions I also sealed the seams with PVC glue but I was impressed with the seal even without it.
I did repair months ago and it is still holding strong!
Quick Tip Friday- Water saving tip – Check your sprinklers
We are in a drought here in California. A phrase I have been hearing my entire life, but I still take it seriously and try not to be wasteful.
I will be posting water saving tips as often as I can through the spring and summer months.
My water saving advice today is related specifically to sprinklers or watering systems and it is very simple.
Watch when your sprinklers or watering systems run to check for needed repairs or adjustments.
A few years back a neighbor told me about a broken sprinkler she happened to see because our sprinklers ran the same time she left for work everyday. We never happened to see it. Since then I try to check things out twice a year and it paid off this year. We ran a check on the watering system in the backyard recently and discovered a leak that could have gone undetected for a very long time.
As you can see in the pictures there was no obvious problem besides the puddle. Timing and location might have kept us from noticing this puddle for quite some time. There was a crack in a sprinkler head below the surface we w0uldn't know about until we watched our system running to check for possible adjustments in spray pattern or timing.
It was a easy fix to replace the sprinkler head (it just screws off/on) and no more water is being wasted watering our pavers instead of the grass.
Take a few minutes to check out your watering system regularly , it's worth it!

Race to Dubai champion Stenson revels in career-best year
Henrik Stenson labelled 2016 the finest year of his career after securing a second Race to Dubai title on Sunday.
A ninth-place finish at the World Tour Championship, Dubai was enough to ensure Stenson retained top spot in the standings - ahead of Masters champion Danny Willett.
Stenson previously won the Race to Dubai in 2013, a year that also saw the Swede triumph in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup.
However, he is understandably more proud of his efforts this season, having claimed a first major championship at Royal Troon and an Olympic silver medal prior to his latest success in Dubai.
"I'm very pleased to get my name on this trophy once again," said the 40-year-old.
"It's been a great year, the best year of my career. I've always thought it was going to be hard to top 2013, but I think I've done that this year.
"Maybe not to the level of golf over six months, but certainly with the highlights of winning The Open, the Olympics and taking the Race to Dubai again. So it's been a great year and it feels lovely to finish in this way."
Stenson becomes the 12th man to end more than one season as Europe's number one.
"We've got [Seve] Ballesteros, we've got [Bernhard] Langer, we've got [Nick] Faldo, and then of course in the later years, we're more familiar with the names who won it," he added.
"It shows a lot of history. To win it once is very satisfying and to win it two times is even more."
The final event of the 2016 European Tour season was won by Matt Fitzpatrick, who made his Ryder Cup debut earlier this year.
"It means the world," said the young Englishman. "To win one of these Final Series events is really special, and this one in particular.
"It's been a long year for me, and I've got to admit, this is just icing on the cake as a year goes. It's been a great one."
