Now that all of the adoption and embryo transfer fees are behind us for this adoption, I thought I'd post about all the costs involved, and the total amount we ended up paying.
This information was difficult for me to find (other than the estimates that the adoption agency provided) when we were looking into embryo adoption for the first time a few years ago, so hopefully this will be helpful to you if you're considering embryo adoption.
When we set up our adoption fundraiser, we set out to raise $10,000. We knew this would cover the adoption agency fees with a little left over for the estimated $6-8,000 of medical expenses with our Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). The adoption agency said that we should expect to pay about $16,000 total for the adoption and medical expenses, but obviously this varies with your RE, or your specific medical needs.
It was especially hard to find information about how much to expect to pay for the fertility drugs required for the transfer. You continue to take these drugs for the first trimester of the pregnancy, until the placenta is formed & takes over hormone production.
Another thing that drove up the total cost of the adoption was that we ended up needing to do two embryo transfers, which means almost twice the medical costs.
Here's our final cost breakdown:
Nightlight Adoption Agency Cost
Nightlight's Snowflake Adoption Fees: $8,000
Nightlight's Home Study Fees: $1,500
Total Nightlight Cost: $9,500
Reproductive Endocrinologist Cost
RE Appointments Pre-Transfer: $1,008
Embryo Transfer #1: $3,314
Post-Transfer Appointments: $567
Pre-Transfer #2 Appointment: $298
Embryo Transfer #2: $3,288
5 Blood Tests (Pre-Transfer & Post-Transfers): $1,108.82
Total RE/Transfer Cost: $9,583.82
Prescription Cost (Metro Drugs Pharmacy)
Transfer #1: $974.47
Transfer #2: $1,006.84
Total Prescription Cost: $1,981.31
The final tally: $21,065.13
Some notes on the RE/transfer costs:
The initial pre-transfer appointments were exams and ultrasounds to determine that I was capable of carrying a child, and to test my body's reaction to the hormones as a sort of dry-run. Anyone else going through a transfer would undoubtedly have similar exams, and the added cost.
I would have certainly had more follow-up appointments and ultrasounds with my RE after transfer #2 if we hadn't moved to Oklahoma and gotten set up with a regular OB at 6 weeks. My RE wanted to continue seeing me every two weeks for the first trimester. I'm glad to have accidentally avoided that extra cost!
The reason the cost varies for the two transfers is that we were required to meet with a family planning counselor before the first transfer, but we didn't have that cost the second time around.
A note on the prescription cost:
I took the prescriptions for just 7 weeks with transfer #1, and 12 weeks with transfer #2. However, right before finding out that I had miscarried, I ordered refills. I was able to use that extra that I had for a few weeks the second time around, so that's why the prescription cost isn't very different for the two transfers.
Overall, we obviously paid a lot more than the $16,000 that we were expecting, but it was mostly due to having the second transfer, and the high cost of fertility drugs – one prescription was $5/pill, taken 3 times/day!
We are incredibly blessed to be surrounded by generous family and friends who have been as excited as we are about this adoption. We definitely couldn't have made it this far without you!
You can go here for our entire embryo adoption story.

I received my Pibella Travel today and I just had to try it out immediately. I have to say that I am very happy with this fantastic urine device for ladies. It's not just easy to use but also highly discreet.
I will recommend Pibella Urine device to other women because I can imagine it will be a welcome aid to many others, e.g. during pregnancy or for those who travel a lot and don't have the chance to relieve themselves unobserved.
Kind regards

Letter 3
Thank you for your honest answer . I understand your situation, that's why I want to come to your country and make sure that your country is habitable. If we can't live in your country, where will we live??? In Russia or where?? Write me about it, I'm curious to hear your opinion.
Write me also about when you plan to come to Russia or meet on neutral territory. Meeting on neutral territory would cost too much. The arrival in Russia will do nothing, because I'm not going to build a relationship with you in reality, if I'm not sure of his future. It is possible that sn will come, work out sex with me and leave forever. It does not suit me. So either I come to you or we have no other choice.
Sorry Sveta

As we continue to swing toward the release date of The Amazing Spider-Man, your Spidey senses have to be tingling with either excitement over the latest superhero movie, or with doubt over the webbed one's reboot after only 10 years.
One day after releasing a 4-minute preview of The Amazing Spider-Man, director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) takes us on a voyage behind the scenes of his highly-anticipated version of the Spider-Man story.
For those unaware, Marc Webb was a music video director who directed musicians of all genres such as All American Rejects, P. Diddy and Green Day, before moving on to his directorial debut in 2009 with the comedic romance (500) Days of Summer. The success of (500) Days of Summer opened up the doors for Webb to land Sony's 3D version of The Amazing Spider-Man.
During his 2 minute interview, Webb describes some his experience on set:
"In terms of creating something like Spiderman, there's a level of complexity which can be satisfying and challenging all at the same time."
Any aspiring filmmakers should check out the clip in order to get a quick glimpse into the world that takes place behind the camera of a big-budget Hollywood film. The video does a fantastic job of showcasing Webb's direction and interactions with cast and crew.
Hit or miss, Sony seems to have "webbed" the right director when they recruited Marc Webb. Film fans just hope they won't have to sit through another reboot of the franchise for a very long time; at the very least, longer than 10 years.
The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) as Spider-Man, Emma Stone (Crazy, Stupid, Love) as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans (The Five-Year Engagement) as The Lizard. The official synopsis for the film reads as follows:
"Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner."
The Amazing Spider-Man hits 3D theaters everywhere on July 3rd, 2012.

Emerging from Winter
Blooming Trees
In February, I always start looking for blooming almond trees. This blossom is on my own tree. It doesn't give me any almonds because it's old and we haven't known how to care for it properly. In the twenty years since we bought the property, it's never borne enough almonds to feed any but the squirrels. We inherited the orchard from the previous owner, but he did not care for the trees that were on the property when we bought it.
I was surprised and delighted to see today that my apricot tree was blooming in Templeton. It did not bloom last year. Must have been the rain. Three of our newer peach and nectarine trees are also in bloom, but I don't have room to picture all of them, and they are very small.
Ornamental flowering trees can be seen all over town. The pink ones seem destined to produce small
cherry-like plums, and the white ones are usually Bradford ornamental pears. You will see them all in a wall of blossoms at Barney Schwartz Park in Paso Robles. They are on the streets and in the parking lots. It seems all of Paso Robles is blooming. But the photo I want to show you of the blooming trees is this one I took on Union Road yesterday. I think they look good with horses under them.
Flowers in Bloom
Many of my own flowers are in bloom, or have been at this time of year in past years. I will show them to you below.
|Daffodils with Black Sage in February, 2015
|Carnation in March, 2015
|Iris in March, 2014.
|Borage in February and March
|Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose, March, 2015
|California Poppies at Barney Schwartz Park, March, 2015
Shrubs Blooming in March
|Left to Right: Rosemary, Watermelon Sage, Holly, March 13
Rosemary blooms almost all year, and the bees love it. It's at its best now after the rain. The watermelon sage also started blooming this month. The holly still has berries from last year, but it is also flowering and budding for next year's berries. There were so many bees on the holly flowers I could hear them buzzing. That holly plant was like a bee airport.
|Holly with Flowers and Berries
This is a close-up of the holly plant. You can click it or any other photo for an enlarged view to see the details.
I'm not sure what this is. It was blooming at the Caliza Winery on March 8. It is very fragrant, but the leaves didn't look quite like lilacs. If anyone knows what it is, I'd love to know. I'd like to get some.
This is another mystery plant I found at Caliza. It has leaves like a rosemary, but it doesn't smell like rosemary. Please leave a comment if you know what it is.
Also blooming in the weed family are wild mustard, vetch, filaree, and henbit. The first and the last two are edible. We will discuss them next time.
What is blooming where you are in March? Be sure and let us know where that is in your comment so we'll know what blooms where, when.

La Cabana Restaurant Review: Don't be put off by La Cabaña's kitschy Mexican décor because the food is pretty good. Start with a quesadilla oozing with cheddar cheese and chicken. Follow with the shrimp sautéed in chipotle sauce, the plump and savory fish tacos, or the "huge" burritos filled with chicken, carne asada or chiles. People order the margaritas by the pitcher, highlighted by the Centenario Millionaire Margarita --- Gran Centenario Plata tequila, Grand Marnier and fresh-squeezed lime juice, served on the rocks. Whatever you order, don't miss the handmade tortillas or the flan. There's a nice patio, and for night owls, the restaurant stays open until 3 a.m.

Roncone Orthodontics
I have been a consultant for many years for several orthodontic manufacturing companies. Over these years I have developed or assisted in the development of many products. As of January 1, 2013 I have joined Forestadent Orthodontics, a family owned company which has been in business for more than 100 years.
Why is this news potentially important to you? On May 7 we introduced several new brackets (braces). One is an esthetic ceramic (clear) bracket that is bonded to the outside of the teeth. The other is a small lingual bracket that attaches to the inside of the teeth and is invisible. This invisible bracket is capable of correcting minor crowding and rotation problems in a very short period of time (eight weeks to six months).
As with any new product, a relatively large group of examples with this Roncone GPS Appliance is needed in order to train orthodontists around the world. Just as we have in past years, we are offering substantial discounts to those who participate in this educational process.
What Do You Need To Do?
- Call our special "888" number listed below and mention Del Sol Forestadent.
- Set up a consultation within 30 days of the date of this article (7/15/13)
- Begin treatment before Sept. 15, 2013.
- If you are accepted for treatment, you must not miss any appointments.
- You must give us permission to take photographs during treatment.
- You must maintain superb oral hygiene (we will give you a Sonicare® electric toothbrush as an aid).

JERUSALEM — In a furious riposte a day after the United Nations Security Council's adoption of a resolution condemning Israeli settlement construction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday pledged to exact a "diplomatic and economic price" from countries who acted against Israel.
Mr. Netanyahu also announced that he would halt his country's contributions to several United Nations institutions, as well as re-evaluate the presence of the body's representatives in Israel.
In a televised address at a Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony honoring wounded soldiers and the victims of terrorism, Mr. Netanyahu excoriated the Obama administration for not vetoing the Security Council's measure. He said he would work with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump to rescind it.
Describing the resolution passed on Friday as "distorted," "delusional" and "absurd," Mr. Netanyahu said it was "part of the swan song of the old world that is biased against Israel."
"But, my friends, we are entering a new era," he added.
Mr. Netanyahu, who is expecting the incoming Trump administration to be more forgiving of Israel's settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and in East Jerusalem, accused the Obama administration of carrying out a "disgraceful anti-Israel maneuver."
Mr. Netanyahu has already recalled Israel's ambassadors from New Zealand and Senegal, two of the four countries that sponsored the resolution and pushed it through, and has ordered Israeli aid to Senegal be halted. There was also a report that Mr. Netanyahu had canceled a visit to Israel by the prime minister of Ukraine, because of that country's vote in favor of the resolution.
Mr. Netanyahu also said he had instructed the Foreign Ministry to re-evaluate all of Israel's relationships with the United Nations, a body that Israel has long viewed as biased against it, and said he was stopping 30 million shekels — about $ 7.8 million — in funding to five United Nations institutions that are "particularly hostile to Israel."
There is no complete consensus in Israel about settlement projects, and domestic critics of Mr. Netanyahu saw the resolution as a severe blow to his recent claims about Israel's improved standing in the world.
But Mr. Netanyahu tried to appeal to Israeli emotions by emphasizing that the resolution made no distinction between Jerusalem and the West Bank — considering the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City and the Western Wall, the holiest place where Jews can pray, as occupied territory. Israel wrested the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including the Old City, in the Arab-Israeli war of 1967.
Ehud Barak, a former Israeli prime minister and defense minister, said it was Mr. Netanyahu who had failed to make any distinction between building in East Jerusalem and the settlement blocs close to the 1967 lines, which Israel expects to be able to keep under any peace agreement with the Palestinians.
"The principal enemy of the settlement blocs and the Jerusalem neighborhoods is Netanyahu himself," Mr. Barak, an increasingly vocal critic of Mr. Netanyahu, said on Israeli television on Saturday night.
Isaac Herzog, the leader of the center-left Zionist Union and head of the parliamentary opposition, said in a Facebook post, "The man who just a month ago told us that the world worships him, declared war this evening on the world, on the United States, on Europe, and is trying to calm us with conceit."
Naftali Bennett, the education minister and leader of the right-wing, pro-settlement Jewish Home party in Mr. Netanyahu's coalition, goaded Mr. Netanyahu to respond with more drastic measures, like annexing parts of the West Bank to Israel. "The time has come to transition from withdrawals to sovereignty," he said.

Concerns over antisocial behaviour at cemetery
BARE-KNUCKLE boxing bouts, sex in public and underage drinking are all being witnessed by stressed office workers overlooking an ancient graveyard in the city centre.
In a blow to the community around the ancient St Michael's graveyard, who are currently engaged in daily clean-ups as part of a tidy towns competition, repeated occurrences of shocking and violent anti-social behaviour in the graveyard have driven neighbouring businesses and residents to despair over recent months.
Several businesses in the Michael Street area contacted the Limerick Leader about the incidents, the most recent of which was an organised bare-knuckle boxing match between two youths which took place in broad daylight, watched by more than 25 teenagers, estimated at aged between 14-16 years of age.
Over the past few months gravestones have been broken and rocks thrown at cars, windows and car parks in the area, youths have been observed in various intoxicated states, syringes have been found and courting couples have displayed a flagrant disregard for onlookers by conducting their actions in broad daylight.
The gardai have been called to the area several times in recent weeks.
However, a core group of youths and troublemakers seem to be returning every day, according to the office workers in the area.
The site is maintained by Limerick Civic Trust, whose director, Dr James Ring, admitted that the body was "hugely frustrated" with the actions of the gang of teenagers. While explaining that a team of workers regularly engage in clean-up operations at the ancient graveyard, Dr Ring stressed that the organisation was "not responsible" for the site, and said he was unsure who was responsible for it.

Light Tunnel, Sleds and Santa, Pastorela 2.0
Events December 19-December 25, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 15
La Mesa Police are looking for four suspects involved in a brawl outside a liquor store on the 5900 block of Severin Drive on Saturday night (April 27) that left two store employees bruised but not seriously injured.

More Than Just Music: Dynamic Duets Who Also Dated
Some of our favorite duets have come from celebrities who were actual couples or…had a "connection," if you get my drift. Some of the songs came from places of genuine love while others came from some good ol' "gangsta, boo lovin'." Some of the couples lasted, some didn't. Either way, they've made some beautiful music together (well, it at least had you in your groove).
Mary J. Blige & K-ci Hailey
"I Don't Want To Do Anything" is a prime example in her hayday of singing: she couldn't really carry a note well but the emotion she sang with made you completely forget it. The relationship she had with K-ci, as we all know, was very tumultuous and this song probably told a deeper story of how passionately they loved each other but weren't meant to be together. But we sang like it was about our own relationship!
Lil' Kim & Notorious B.I.G.
These two carried on a love affair for years that may or may not have been as deep as Lil Kim always describes it. They were featured on a few songs together based on Kim's affiliation with Junior Mafia (B.I.G. helped put the group together) but one of the songs that featured just the two of them is "Another" from B.I.G's double disc album. I should warn you that if you look this song up that you won't want to blast it at work because it is quite "ratchet." However, based on what we know, this song probably let the world know how dysfunctional they were when together.
Ashford & Simpson
This is definitely one of two "cheats" that I'm adding but it is for good reason, I promise. First of all, allow me this honesty moment: for years, I had no idea Ashford & Simpson were a couple. I remember falling in love with "Solid As A Rock" when it came out but since I was young, I only thought of it as just another song I liked. It wasn't until their radio show on NYC's now defunct KISS-FM that I realized they were a couple. From that moment on, ALL of their songs meant even more to me than they already did.
Cassie & Ryan Leslie
Back in 2008, Ryan Leslie released "Addiction" which featured his then boo, Cassie. I'm not quite sure if it was supposed to be a secret that they were dating since he was a few years older but word got out pretty quickly. However, in sad news for Ryan, he seemed to have forgotten he was part of the Bad Boy team and Diddy pulled little Cassie away from him. I'm being dramatic but look up any interview Ryan has done since their break up; any mention of her seems like he's a broken man looking for his missing piece.
Erykah Badu & Common
The R&B equivalent to Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R.," Erykah and then boo Common hooked up for "Love Of My Life," which was featured on the Brown Sugar soundtrack. This, of course, was right in the midst of Common's well documented time of wearing crochet pants and knit hats.
Whitney & Bobby
This is the second "cheat" of the list since Whitney and Bobby were either engaged or just married when "Something in Common" came out and we definitely knew all about their relationship. Surprisingly, the song was never officially released here in the States though we did get a video. Aren't we all still rocking to this song whenever we hear it!?
Brandy & Wanya (of Boyz II Men)
Yes, they had a song out and a "quiet as kept" relationship going on at the same time. The remix to Brandy's "Brokenhearted" featured Wanya and although it wasn't confirmed until much later that they had been a couple, it seemed pretty obvious. I mean yes, Wanya is a great singer and B2M were really popular at that time; however, he was sort of an odd choice when someone like Usher was just as popular then.
Kelis & Pharrell
While there has never been actual confirmation of a relationship that went beyond professional, it seems pretty plausible that Kelis and Pharrell were pretty hot and heavy for a few years. The Neptunes almost exclusively produced Kelis' first three albums and though there are only a couple of songs in which Pharrell is actually featured, his background vocals are on many of her songs. Rumor has it (yes, rumor…this is celebrity chat) their professional relationship ceased because their personal relationship was affecting all areas of business.
Beyonce & Jay-Z
By the time "Crazy in Love" was released, we all knew they'd been dating for about a year but based on Beyonce's pictures and quick comments she's made, it seems they could have been together for two, or maybe, three years before the song came out. They've made many songs together since and I suspect we'll hear more duets in the future.

JUST IN!! Barcelona Squad To Face Real Madrid Is Out
Barcelona have included Lionel Messi in their 19-man squad, for Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Real Madrid at Camp Nou.
However, Barca manager Ernesto Valverde, must leave out one player from his squad, meaning it is possible Messi could still miss out due to a thigh injury.
The Argentine star picked up the injury on Saturday in Barcelona's 2-2 draw with Valencia.
Valverde confirmed after the game that the 31-year-old had a "small problem" and would face tests to see if he'd be ready for Wednesday.
Messi did not take part in full training on Monday, but returned to join his team-mates on Tuesday for their final session.
Ousmane Dembele misses out due to with an ankle problem and joins goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, who has been ruled out for six weeks with a calf injury, on the sidelines, as well as Samuel Umtiti and Rafinha.

In this paper we investigate the use of scene graphs as a general approach for implementing two-dimensional (2D) graphical applications, and in particular Zoomable User Interfaces (ZUIs). Scene graphs are typically found in three-dimensional (3D) graphics packages such as Sun's Java3D and SGI's OpenInventor. They have not been widely adopted by 2D graphical user interface toolkits. To explore the effectiveness of scene graph techniques, we have developed Jazz, a general-purpose 2D scene graph toolkit. Jazz is implemented in Java using Java2D, and runs on all platforms that support Java 2. This paper describes Jazz and the lessons we learned using Jazz for ZUIs. It also discusses how 2D scene graphs can be applied to other application areas. (also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-2000-30) (Also cross-referenced as HCIL-TR-2000-13)

You can't escape!
March 4, 2009Posted by on
Here comes the fat alien, the one with the mean eyes. He flashes past, all in white. He is after someone, not me this time. Evil bastard! I stare straight ahead; they give us pills that make our necks stiff. It is difficult see staring straight ahead. We are waiting for a chance to escape, someone will come to help, no one has yet… but they will! The television drones away, can't hear it properly and it seems fuzzy. Have another smoke… watch the telly… just stay calm and wait.
Looks like smiley, the tall thin alien with the evil smirk. What is that screaming? They must be torturing Ryan, it sounds like him. Bastards! There goes Dean, now he scares the shit out of me! Category one, constantly watched by the aliens, they must be scared of him too.
God! Got to escape… got to get out! They've had me imprisoned here for months. Strangely though, it sometimes seems safer here than the outside world. They must give me pills to make me feel that way, so I won't try to escape… but I will!
The other prisoners scare me, they steal my stuff, they hurt me, and they are rude. They sometimes make me have sex, so do the aliens. I just lie there, don't make a fuss. They just jump on me and then go, don't really feel it anymore.
Can't run or hide, just have to stay calm. I don't think they can see me in this dim room. From the corner of my eyes I can just see the woman sitting across the room. She is called Angel. She has little burn marks all over her upper body and both legs have been cut off. She jumped in front of a train, she was trying to escape the aliens. They said she was just trying to kill herself, they must think we're stupid.
I can see the music system they want so much. Dad bought it for me, they took it and killed him for it. Killed Mum too. Pricks! I might be next, stay still as possible and they don't see you, that's how you survive. I think they killed my daughter too. Can't get emotional, just stay numb.
Here comes another alien through the door, it's Jimmy all in white, he won't hurt me. He is one of them but he is more gentle that the rest. I asked him to help me escape once, I thought he might kill me for asking but I had to try. He just said I was better off in here and would be OK eventually. Bullshit! In the end, he is one of them. Arsehole!
He is coming straight at me. He is talking, using the special talk that you can't understand. It sounds really slow and drawn out. He talks again, louder. He says Dave is here. Dave? Who the fuck is Dave? He says it is Dave, your boyfriend. Dave! He can save me, he is a member of a group of men who fight these bad bastards, they ride motorcycles, like knights or something. I knew he would come.
I stay cool, don't want to make a mistake when freedom is so close. I follow Jimmy, shuffling in the way they expect us prisoners to. I don't look sideways, just look at Jimmy's back. Other prisoners pass, they too conform to the shuffle and the dull eyed look. Dave will save you all, Dave is here, he will have reinforcements nearby. Freedom is so close. We will all live in a big house and have lots of cats.
Dave is filling in a form and showing his ID, forged of course, he is experienced in combat and knows this stuff. This rescue will be well planned, it will be a push over for him. He looks very relaxed, they suspect nothing.
I wait until we are in the garden to give Dave a big hug and a kiss. We sit down, light a smoke. Dave acts casual, he asks how I'm going. I tell him I'm so glad to see him. I ask him why it has taken him months to find this place. He says I was only brought here two days ago, he must have lost it. Have they drugged him too? Fuck these aliens are tricky, sit tight.
I whisper to him Mum and Dad are dead, they killed them for the stereo. Dave says he saw them on the way over and they are fine. He is just trying to keep me calm until the escape plan starts, he's good! They killed my baby, Jenny. He says Jenny is fine. Dave is so cool in these situations, he's fucken good! The birds are singing, the garden is beautiful, peaceful. Seems a shame to have to go.
Dave has his leather vest, gloves and helmet, he is ready for them. His chrome machine is waiting patiently in the car park. I ask him where the rest of the gang are. He says they are coming and touches his nose with his forefinger.
Look, there is Ray! Dave looks towards a thin fellow in a German WWII great coat. Dave nods. We have to rescue Ray also, he is my boyfriend. Dave nods. He is a brain surgeon, they gave him pills and put all those horrible tattoos on him, they look like jail 'tats'. Ray comes over and bludges a smoke, I light one with him. I whisper to him that we are escaping and that the aliens killed my family. He wanders off.
Dave is quiet now, seems to be soaking in the sun. The aliens patrol the grounds, they smile as Dave talks to them. Little do they suspect Dave's plan. Hi Jake! I tell Dave about how Jake is my boyfriend. He greets Jake. I look at Jake, he is very attractive, we are taking him with us. He looks so young.
I feel so horny. I'm not supposed to, they have pills for that. Here comes one of the aliens, it's bitch face. She has more pills. Shit! I hope Dave does not take them! She sits near me. Fuck! Panic! I don't look at her. Dave makes her laugh… shit she is dangerous, I hope Dave knows what he is doing. I see Jake walking away, he is trying to avoid her.
She gives me pills, I know I have to take them to avoid any suspicion. The usual load. There are different colours and some big ones. I try to hold them under my tongue but there are too many.
Bitch face goes. I tell Dave we should have sex. He smiles and talks about the flowers in the garden. He is staying focused, ready to go into action.
Nana Anna is screaming. She abuses someone for drinking coffee, lectures them on their health at the top of her voice. The fat alien talks to her, threatens to kill her I think. Nana Anna walks away lighting a smoke with the one she just finished. She screams back at the alien, she tells him to fuck himself. I can't help smiling.
Big Pete goes by, he is so tall and strong. They have given him a lot of the pills, he does not even wave when I see him. I love him though. I tell Dave I love him, he is my boyfriend. Dave comments that he would hate to be around if Pete lost it. I think Dave can see Pete is a good man too, by the way he is staring at him.
I tell Dave, Mum and Dad have been murdered, I think the aliens did it. He says they are OK. I know he is just saying that. The sun is so warm and I feel a little sleepy. I love this garden. I light a smoke…
We are going to the therapy room. I look around the room, I think about the decoupage table I started to do. Some prick has fucked it all up. Dave is listening to Jake playing the piano, Jake plays beautiful classical music. As Dave relaxes, Jake suddenly starts to bang the keys hard with a wild look in his eyes, his hair hanging over his face. The aliens run over, I clap and laugh, I love Jake. The aliens look at me, shit have I blown it?
I show Dave the pottery room, there is no one else in here now. I slide my hand in Dave's jeans, I tell him to fuck me. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and says we can't. Impotent bastard! I know, the escape… I'm getting impatient now. I'm really tired. It feels like my eyes are resting on my cheeks.
I hear a distant rumble, Dave's mates are riding in. Fear and panic rise inside me. I don't know if I can go through with it. I should go to my room and hide. I tell Dave I'm scared of the escape. He smiles. Does anything worry him? Shit he is so brave.
The rumble is very loud now. I call Dave and Jake, now is the time. Go! I run back to the garden to meet the rescuers. I yell to Ray, Nana Anna, Jake, Pete and some other friends. Follow me! We are saved! Come to me! Run, run, run.
They mill around me. Where is Dave? For Christ's sake, where is he. Has he been taken? Have they made him take the pills? Bitch face might be making him have sex. The rumble is around the corner. I run to the gate. An alien is grabbing me and I bite him. Don't fuck me I scream at him. Dave's gonna kill you bastards!
I turn and see Dave is looking and I call him. Bitch face is trying to stop me going through the gate. I look for the gang, Dave's heroic mates. A large truck comes round the corner. More aliens, bloody reinforcements. I scream and struggle. An alien seems to be stabbing me with something sharp, trying to give me AIDS. I struggle… I… I…
Here comes the fat alien, the one with the mean eyes. He flashes past, all in white. He is after someone, not me this time. I stare straight ahead, they give us pills that stop ours necks from turning. I'm waiting for a chance to escape, someone will come, no one has yet. The television drones away, I cannot hear it properly and it seems fuzzy. I light another smoke, watch the telly and wait.

Bus tour showcases Tradeport Business Center, Dorchester Shooting Preserve
OCTOBER 27, 2014: MIDWAY, Ga. —
A delegation of statewide economic and community development project managers last week received a warm welcome to Liberty County.
Visitors from Georgia Power Community and Economic Development, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs participated in a regional familiarization tour that included a windshield tour of Tradeport Business Center and Midway Industrial Park.
Liberty County Development Authority Director of Business Development Jessica Hood guided the group and spoke about the industrial parks' growth and land characteristics.
"This annual tour is an excellent opportunity for Liberty County to showcase its business parks and highlight the attributes that make our community a great place to live and do business," Hood said. "Ensuring these statewide representatives are familiar with what we have to offer helps to keep us top of mind when they are recruiting companies from all over the world."
The delegates stopped at Dorchester Shooting Preserve, adjacent to Tradeport East Business Center, where the Liberty County Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau served its signature Peach Tea. Crafted to pay homage to Liberty's early agricultural days, the beverage includes peaches, cane sugar from Geechee Kunda and tea from Florapharm Tea USA, a German tea company whose American distribution center is located in Hinesville Technology Park.
Sponsored by Georgia Power, the tour was coordinated by Peggy Jolley, a Regional Manager for Community and Economic Development, whose territory includes Coastal Georgia.
"Georgia Power has found over the years that it is very important to get the statewide project managers out into the communities to learn about the properties and buildings that they promote," Jolley said. "We so appreciate what Liberty County did to highlight its assets; everyone on the bus thought Dorchester Shooting Preserve was a great venue and the hospitality was wonderful."

Not to toot my own horn here, but….BEEP BEEP!! This pizza is amazing!! And, as I have a husband who needs to eat pizza at least 4 times a week, I feel pretty qualified to write that.
Before I moved to the UK, one of my favorite ready meals was Amy's Kitchen frozen pizza. It's an organic brand which features a whole wheat pizza crust. I really don't know why everyone isn't jumping on the boat with this; the whole grain adds such a beautiful depth of flavor that melds perfectly with olive oil and mozzarella.
I found this pizza dough recipe on the Pioneer Woman's blog….though she says that it yields two crusts, I got 4 out of it. The thinner and crispier, the better. Don't bother rolling it out; just get your hands in there and stretch it out like you know what you are doing. Even if you don't. I didn't. It worked out fine 😉
Pizza Tricolore
1 basic pizza dough crust (recipe follows)
4 handfuls of spinach, washed, drained and sliced fine
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 medium tomato, diced
fresh mozzarella, sliced fine
1 large red onion, finely sliced
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 500*F (260*C). Drizzle a little olive oil on a rectangular baking sheet. Stretch and shape the dough to fit the baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt and some parmesan.
2. Caramelize the onion by heating a small amount of olive oil in a medium pan. Add the red onion and brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and browning.
3. Meanwhile, sauté the spinach and garlic in a small amount of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble pizza by spreading the onions, tomatoes and spinach all over. Top with mozzarella and some freshly ground black pepper.
5. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until the crust is brown and cheese is melted.
Basic Pizza Dough
1 tsp instant or active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups plain flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1. Place warm water in a bowl; sprinkle yeast over top and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together plain flour, whole wheat flour and salt.
3. Drizzle oil in slowly as you stir, to distribute evenly.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast water. Stir until the dough comes together in a sticky, gooey mass.
5. Grease a large bowl with olive oil and place dough inside. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside for at least 2 hours. Feel free to place in the fridge at this stage for up to 4 days. (It rises just fine)
6. When ready to use, section into 4 separate doughs for a thin crust, 2 for thick.

ULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Motivated by greed, several Arkansas poultry
companies cut corners when getting rid of thousands of tons of waste
and allowed it to pollute a sensitive watershed, an attorney for the
state argued Thursday.
But the 11 companies accused of poisoning the Illinois River
watershed shared by Oklahoma and Arkansas accused the state of using
bad science and flimsy evidence to make its case.
After a trial that lasted four months, attorneys made their closing
arguments Thursday. U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell, who
heard the trial from the bench, gave no indication when he might rule.
Louis Bullock, an attorney for Oklahoma, said the poultry industry
had turned a once-pristine recreational area enjoyed by tens of
thousands of visitors each year into a ''green, slimy mess.''
''Judge, I'm all in favor of making a buck, but it's never an excuse
to destroy the beauty of this country to make a buck,'' he said.
The state says the companies, including industry giants Tyson Foods
Inc. and Cargill Inc., for decades disposed of hundreds of thousands
of tons of chicken litter each year by giving it to local crop
farmers to use as fertilizer. The state says the companies knew the
litter -- or the feathers, droppings and bedding left in barns after
birds are taken to slaughter -- was harming the watershed, but that
it was cheaper to give it to the farmers than to dispose of it
''They knew better, but they did it anyway,'' Bullock said.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The first complaint came in 2014. Piles of trash were reported next to the building. Later that year, construction materials blocking the sidewalk drew another complaint. Last month, another was lodged, leading to an investigation of illegal construction inside.
The warehouse that was engulfed in flames on Friday night, leaving at least 36 people dead, was well known to people who spent time there for being filled with illegal residences and potentially hazardous construction. Known as the Ghost Ship, it had become an artists' colony, a refuge from the Bay Area's rocketing rents, and a space for performances like the concert that was underway when the fire erupted.
The tragedy prompted questions about what officials should have done to shut down the motley tenement. It also brought attention to the boom in illegal housing across the region, where many people have resorted to makeshift living arrangements because they have been priced out of the regular market. The questions were many: How did the fire start? Was it accidental or deliberate? Will anyone be punished for the carnage?
The building did not have a permit for residences, or one for performances. Its landlord had a history of owning properties with building violations. People who had lived in the warehouse or visited described a place rife with fire hazards — a boarded-up upstairs exit, a cobbled-together stairway made partly of wooden pallets, propane tanks used to heat water, and piles of flammable debris.
"It was a complete maze — I mean, there was really no clearly marked exits," said Ben Phelps-Rohrs, who told the public radio station KCRW he stepped outside the concert just before the fire broke out. "It was a place where you could lose yourself."
Inspectors from Oakland's Planning and Building Department had opened an investigation into illegal construction after the third complaint, but many said the city did not do enough to respond.
"The community complained about debris; we react to it, we go and we clean it up," said Jose Ortiz, a neighborhood activist. "It's really ridiculous that we have to end up with a tragedy like this for the city officials to react to it."
At a news briefing on Monday afternoon, Mayor Libby Schaaf said the city would do "everything we can to ensure that you will get, that the families will get, that this city will get the answers to every question about this incident."
The Alameda County district attorney, Nancy O'Malley, said that her office had begun a criminal investigation but that it was too soon to speculate about potential charges. Investigators are looking into whether anyone should be held criminally liable for the fire, she said. When pressed, she said charges could range from murder to involuntary manslaughter.
The buildings department said it sent an inspector to the warehouse on Nov. 17, three days after the illegal construction complaint, but the inspector was unable to gain entry. A fire department official said that without knowing the building was being used for housing or concerts, the department would have inspected only once every two years, and that on its most recent visit, it, too, was unable to enter.
But some residents of the building questioned the idea that anyone had tried to inspect it. "We would have known if somebody from the city had come by to advise us about hazards," said Carmen Brito, who escaped the blaze.
"That place was a tinderbox," said Danielle Boudreaux, who had visited many times. "And anybody who went in there who had any kind of authority should have not allowed it to continue."
Before the fire thrust Oakland into the national spotlight, officials here had other preoccupations. The city, the most crime-ridden in California, has had six police chiefs in seven years, and remains without a permanent one after a scandal involving officers having sex with a young prostitute rocked the city government this summer.
Code violations were not at the forefront of the officials' concerns.
Oakland officials said the city takes illegal housing seriously, but there are so many informally converted spaces that building inspectors, firefighters and the police are overwhelmed by the problem. California law says that an inspector cannot enter unless admitted by an owner or resident, and officials say that people often refuse to let inspectors in, fearing eviction.
Warehouse in Oakland Fire Was Used Illegally
What we know about the interior of the building that burned down on Friday.
Fruitvale, the neighborhood where the Ghost Ship was located, is a dense grid of old industrial structures, houses and apartment buildings, populated mostly by Latino immigrants. It is well trafficked both by commuters headed to other parts of the Bay Area and by prostitutes who stand along the sidewalks of International Boulevard.
The Ghost Ship was run by a married couple, Derick Ion Almena — also known as Derick Ion — and Micah Allison, whom residents described as the master tenants who rented the building and sublet parts of it to others. The building was owned by Chor Nar Siu Ng, who lives elsewhere in Oakland. It is unclear what Ms. Ng, who could not be reached for comment, knew about conditions inside.
Current and former tenants said that when Ms. Ng or her daughter came by, Mr. Almena and Ms. Allison told tenants to pack away bedding and cooking supplies. Justin Manchester, who lived in the building for six weeks in 2014, said that the master tenants told other residents to hide in a nearby Wendy's restaurant when Ms. Ng visited.
"They would usually prepare for days," he said, and they would tell tenants to "make your space look like nobody had been staying there."
Mr. Manchester, 25, who now lives in Texas, said that he moved to the Ghost Ship after being evicted from another warehouse known as Sugar Mountain, and that he knew of at least seven warehouses in Oakland, all creatively named, where artists lived under similar conditions, paying below-market rents.
Ms. Allison, who on her Facebook page calls herself the Mother Superior of the Ghost Ship, and Mr. Almena, whose page has been taken down, did not respond to messages seeking comment. When a local television station, KGO, found them Sunday night at a hotel, Mr. Almena said of the fire victims: "They're my children. They're my friends. They're my family. They're my loves. They're my future. What else do I have to say?"
The Alameda County authorities took the couple's three children from them last year, after reports of neglect and unsafe conditions, according to Ms. Allison's father and a county official. The couple regained custody of the children, now ages 6, 7 and 13, several months later. The Alameda County Social Services agency said it could not comment, so it was unclear whether an inspection of the family's living arrangements was conducted.
Mr. Almena pleaded no contest in January to a misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property, an Airstream trailer, and was sentenced to three years probation. Some residents described having run-ins with him and accused him of cutting off the electricity of tenants he didn't like.
Ms. Ng, who owns the building and the adjacent lot, bought the property in 1988. County records show that she and her family have owned several properties in Oakland, with a history of building violations that have caused the city to place liens against them.
These include at least $1,000 for failure to fix unsafe conditions at a property on Eighth Street, and at least $3,000 for failure to fix conditions at a property on International Boulevard.
And in 2007, the city issued liens for at least $6,800 for her failure to address unspecified conditions at 1305 31st Avenue, the property that would become the Ghost Ship. The liens on the building were paid off by 2014.
Oakland has seen rents and home prices skyrocket with the local technology boom. Rents are up about 70 percent from five years ago — the fastest increase in the nation according to Zillow, the online real estate pricing service. The $2,899 median price is now just shy of cities like San Francisco and Manhattan.
In Oakland, artists and musicians have long been using industrial warehouses as a cheap way to find a place to live and work in the same space.
The paradox is that illegal housing is cheap partly because it is illegal, said Thomas Dolan, an Oakland architect who helps building owners convert warehouses.
"You've got a market economy, a gentrifying real estate market and people feeling that they need to go underground," he said.

I LOVE this little guy! I'm obsessed with space so when I saw this Rocket Bubble Bar I knew I'd have a good time using it.
I held it under hot running water and the bath immediately turned a gorgeous blue colour and an explosion of bubbles appeared. It also contains tiny little stars that float about in the water!I have used this bubble bar twice and there is enough left for one more bath.

Marshall is a character in the Nick Jr. series PAW Patrol. As of season four, he has been voiced by two Canadian actors and debuted in the show's first episode, "Pups Make a Splash."
Marshall has blue eyes and a white coat with black spots. His standard PAW Patrol uniform consists of a red fire helmet, a red jacket with a yellow collar, and a "pup pack" with a retractable water cannon.
Marshall is the PAW Patrol's fire rescue dog, and as of season two, its medic. He is prone to clumsily tripping over objects on his way to the team's base. His vehicle is a red firetruck that is able to transform into an ambulance.
- Marshall is revealed to have a large fear of flying in the season one episode "Pups Save a Toof". This trait is retconned in season three, in which he is given flight gear without concern and happily flies in Skye's helicopter.
