CFA has recently announced their most popular cat breeds for 2018, according to the number of cats that were registered throughout the year.
Read more...
CFA has increased the number of recognized breeds to 45 with the recent acceptance of the Toybob, a new breed of cat developed in Russia over the past 35 years.
Distinguished by its coat – as the result of a natural mutation, the coat of the American Wirehair is crimped and springy, including the whiskers. The breed was developed from the American Shorthair, so apart from the coat, the two are very similar. Pet owners delight with their quiet, reserved and loving ways.

Congratulations to our First Runner-Up at the 2018 CFA International Cat Show - GC Imprimis Fiona of Lynzkatz, a brown patched tabby and white Shorthair Scottish Fold female owned by Linda, Jon and Jacob Bartley and bred by Olga Zukova.
Congratulations to our Second Runner-Up at the 2018 CFA International Cat Show - GC, RW I-Catchers Icloud, a copper-eyed white Persian male owned and bred by Jane Lamas.
The American Shorthair is America's own breed, originating from cats that followed settlers from Europe. It is a medium to large breed with a short, thick, hard coat in more than 80 different colors and pattern combinations. This breed is known for its health, good looks, quiet disposition and amiability with children and dogs.

Samir Nasri's inclusion in the 23-man squad to travel to the Far East will put the brakes on a potential move away from the Emirates Stadium for at least another week it seems.
The wantaway midfielder has been heavily linked with moves to either Manchester United or Manchester City over the summer.
But the French playmaker is set to board the plane with his Arsenal teammates on Sunday bound for China and Malaysia after boss Arsene Wenger vowed to keep hold of the former Marseilles man.
Fellow midfielder Cesc Fabregas will not be part of the trip though as a hamstring problem continues to keep the Gunners captain out of action.
Fabregas has also been rumoured to be on the verge of leaving the north London outfit, with Barcelona firmly at the head of the queue of suitors.
More: Arsenal transfer news and speculation
New signing Gervinho has also not been included in the 23-man squad for the one-week tour because the deal was not sealed in time.
Also out of the party are unsettled pair Manuel Almunia and Nicklas Bendtner, who are thought to be in talks with other clubs with a view to leaving for pastures new.
The Gunners first head to Malaysia tomorrow to face an All-Star XI before heading to China to face Hangzhou Greentown.
Wenger told arsenal.com: 'The Premier League is very popular in Asia and Arsenal are a very popular team in Asia.
'Many of the players have never been there so we are very excited about it. It is a good experience for the team.'
But forward Theo Walcott hinted that the tour could take its toll on senior players keen on a more gentle introduction to the upcoming 2011/12 season.
He said: 'In previous years we only went to Austria and Holland as well so it didn't take too much out of you.
'It will hit you at some stage but we have just got to get used to that.
'It is still a long way until the season starts so we should recover by the time that comes.'

Three Ways Funders Delude Themselves About Equity
This article was originally written for and published by Philanthropy New York. The original post can be read here. Funders, for the most part, want to do the right thing and operate with the best of intentions. But within those good intentions, funders too often suffer from what I call "delusional altruismSM." Delusional altruism is when funders inadvertently get in their own way, or make life more challenging for their grantees and partners – and in doing so, prevent themselves from making the greatest impact. In the worst cases, they can do even more damage than good. Delusional altruism usually manifests itself in seemingly benign ways, such as making a grant application and approval process too cumbersome, taking three weeks to … Continue reading Three Ways Funders Delude Themselves About Equity

Stainless steel sinks come in such a wide variety of style and sizes that it is hard to pick which would suit your kitchen the most. If you have already decided on buying stainless steel sinks yet are still confused with which to pick for your kitchen, then you have come to the right place. Your kitchen sinks should fit your lifestyle. It should make your life easier.
Stainless steel sink comes in 3 installation option: Undermount, Topmount, Apron front.
Undermount sinks are installed beneath the countertop. The rim of the sinks are hidden and it is generally favored for being more hygienic. If you don't have much time to spend deep cleaning your sink then undermount sink is suitable for you.
For topmount, the rim of the sink will sit on top of the counter. People with topmount sink need to pay more attention to the rim over time and clean it thoroughly to prevent bacteria from accumulating on it.
Apron front sinks is know for its stunningly elegant aesthetic. This installation type requires customized cabinets but it makes your kitchen instantly seem more classy and luxurious. This type of sink needs larger kitchen space, so this is not your best option if you have small kitchen.

"As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being". This old proverb doesn't lose its relevance over the years. While thinking about getting some new skills and knowledge, you might be considering what skills can give you a lifelong advantage. Learning a new language should be a right choice. But the next step that you need to choose is exactly what language to learn – a foreign language (e.g. Chinese) or a programming language (e.g. JavaScript). Check the blog post that will help you to decide whether you and your friends should learn Chinese or JavaScript, and why.
How easy is it – to learn a new language? The younger you are, the easier it is. But it works only if we're talking about learning a foreign language. For JavaScript, the story is different.
Coding languages are less difficult for definition than human languages as coding languages were created to be understood by computers and such simple machines as your digital watch. Kids are still better at learning new programming languages though it's also very feasible for adults. Online courses in JavaScript claim that in 3-4 months you are going to become fluent in JavaScript programming.
For the Chinese language the situation is a bit more complicated. Kids under the age of seven months can recognize all possible sounds and tones in human languages. But once kids get older so they get beyond of the certain language group, they lose their ability to recognize unique tones in a language. Still, kids can become native speakers of many foreign languages if they hear a language often enough until they become 12 years old. Once you become an adult, you need more time to learn a language making much more efforts. Some scientists say that it can take 3-4 years of living in China for adults to become fluent in the Chinese language.
Score: Chinese – 0 points; JavaScript – 1 point
Native Speakers and Users
Chinese is the most widespread language spoken by one fifth of the world's population. While more of those speakers live in the Far East, knowledge of the Chinese language could be a key to many Chinatowns worldwide.
JavaScript probably can't compete with the Chinese language in number of users but that is if you only count in human users. Take in count all the machines that use code, and it's no contest. Just think about all the machines in a house, such machines as microwaves, washing machines, alarm clocks and so on.
Score: Chinese – 1 point; JavaScript – 1 point
Career Benefits
Let's imagine that you have decided to learn Chinese. It's considered to be a big career opportunity, but is that true? You'll get a skill that is quite unique in the Western world. But many US and EU companies do not include knowledge of the Chinese language in their job descriptions because it's too hard to find such a candidate. Business communications are much easier in English, in which most Chinese specialists are fluent. If you really want to get a career benefit from learning Chinese, then you have to enter the Chinese job market.
Score: Chinese – 0.5 point; JavaScript – 1 point
Intellectual Values
What could be more "valuable" than knowing a language which is vital for communication with more than 95% people in your region, for example speaking Chinese language while living in the Western countries? Right, in this case it would not be so valuable.
Score: Chinese – 1 point; JavaScript – 1 point
Imagine the situation when you're flying from London to Beijing by China Airlines. Most of the passengers are the British and American citizens. The stewardesses are talking to each other in Chinese while using English for talking to the passengers. And how great it would be to answer to them in Chinese when they're asking you: "What would you like to drink"? The stewardess might be impressed as well as most of the people on the airplane.
Or do you remember how great it was when Mark Zuckerberg gave a 22-minute speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing entirely in Mandarin Chinese?
At the same time, we shouldn't forget about fun that you can get with JavaScript. You can develop apps, make websites, and create games: just realize your creativity. For some programmers, coding is a relaxing process. Bear in mind the fact that learning a coding language will probably be more fun than learning Chinese.
Score: Chinese – 2 points; JavaScript – 1.5 points
Future Opportunities
So, is JavaScript actually the best programming language to learn? What's about PHP, Python, C or Ruby?
Those, who speak Ukrainian, can easily learn Polish. A native Portuguese can read in Spanish. The Dutch can easily learn German. In the same way, programming languages form their own groups. If you know the basic rules and concepts that appear in every code, such as loops, then you can apply it to every programming language and so the study process will be easier.
Score: Chinese – 1 point; JavaScript – 1 point
Final score: Chinese – 5.5 points; JavaScript – 6.5 points.

The Cinnamon Club is housed in a beautiful Edwardian building called The Bowdon Rooms which were built in 1903.
With a fully sprung maple dance floor, and an arched ceiling towering above you at over forty feet, it is a superb venue for concerts, cabarets, weddings and functions.
The Bistro is also on the ground floor, a restaurant for fifty guests with its own bar. Available for private hire or as part of the main club. There is a mezzanine floor hosting two breakout areas and a balcony overlooking the dance floor, and then there is a third level, with The Lounge catering for nearly one hundred guests in theatre style, with its own bar.
The versatility of the venue is its greatest asset. With a great main hall, and a stage large enough for an eighteen piece swing band, the room can be set out in many styles.
Just call the conference team to talk through your ideas.

I'm hosting a new podcast called "The Creative Block." I'm hoping it will be a place to talk to creative about being creative and also what they nerd out about. There are a lot of great interview style podcasts about being creative already out there so why I want to do that? Well hopefully over time we can find our own tone that's different from the others. We have a lot of ideas of ways to branch out from just being an interview show. So check it out and join me and the team on the ride.
You can subscribe to the Creative Block on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.
This post originally appeared on the 2930 Creative blog on January 9, 2013. I plan to write new posts but I needed a post to work on the layout and my brain won't let me write unless the site is all set up. That being said, I love this post just as much now as I did then and it's still extremely relevant. Hope you enjoy it now as as much I enjoyed it writing it.
A year ago today I was let go from my previous agency job. I didn't know it yet but it was the best thing that has ever happened to my career.
I put everything into that job. I was so dedicated to that job that I stayed despite many people moving on to bigger and better things. I'm not sure when I would have left if they hadn't let me go. Being tossed aside for a higher profit margin put the chip on my shoulder I needed to make this business happen. I didn't know my "why" yet, but it gave me the kick in the ass to find it. Knocked my work ethic up about 8 notches and put me on the fast track to living my dream.
Of course I don't want anyone to get fired. It's a terrible thing to go through in this economy but only if you let it be. I think being fired can be a positive thing if you're ready. If you're willing to hustle and do some dirty work, being fired can be very positive. But don't wait on your boss to do it, fire yourself. Get in the right mindset and build what you've always wanted.
So what's the point? The point is if I can survive being fired and build a business, you can too. Here's how:
1) Find your why
You need to have a reason you are doing what you do. When it's 2 am and you've been working since 9am you need that fire that keeps you going. It took getting fired for me to find my "why." Mine is all the fake marketing "gurus" and web designers preying on small businesses. I'm very very passionate about going to head to head with all the agencies leaving small businesses stranded by their website, social media or graphics. So many small businesses have been burned by someone giving them work they don't want, disappearing and leaving them unhappy. This is bad for their business and it's also bad for our industry. As creatives, we should be better than that. That's the short version, leave the rest for another post. For you it might take something else to give you the epiphany but for me it was getting fired that gave me the clarity that I could help these businesses more effectively than I was in my previous job.
2) Find a partner
You need someone also going through it to talk to and to hold you accountable. If no one is asking you for things and keeping you on task you won't get anywhere, especially if you have to work two jobs to build it. I had tried to build businesses many times before but always by myself and they all ended up in the graveyard. You don't have to have a partner or co-founder, but you do need someone to at least be holding you accountable for everything you are doing. Have someone to balance out your weaknesses doesn't hurt though.
3) Work hard
You can't build a dream without hard work. It's human nature to want to lay around after 8 hours at your day job however every minute you take off someone else is out-working you. Personally I hate thinking about that. I want to be that guy. I don't mind losing out to a competitor on talent but I will not lose out because I didn't work hard enough.
I worked hard before I was fired but wasn't willing to work harder until then. For months I felt that now I have to prove I didn't deserve to be fired, that I'm better than that. In some ways I still do despite having gotten jobs offers, quit a job and built a company. I never wanted to prove they made a mistake, it was my pride that stepped up. Every day I said "you're better than this." Then kept going.
4) Make mistakes
Don't be afraid to fail. Try new things for clients. If they blow up in your face, just be honest with them. Explain what you learned and how it will help you do better work for them from now on. This is the best way to learn. Within the past year the list of mistakes we've made is too long to list anywhere but we're still here. We aren't here in spite of our mistakes, we are here because of them. What we learned from each one, has made us a better agency as well as a better business.
5) Take risks
You can't build anything by playing it safe. At some point you will be faced with a risky decision and you'll be afraid to take it but for the sake of your business, you'll have to. Don't be afraid, embrace it. Without risk, there is no reward. 3 months ago I quit my day job to go full-time in our business. It's definitely a risk, but there's no way we could have taken on the clients we have since then. There just wasn't the capacity with me working the other job. There was also no way we could grow beyond that if I didn't make the jump.
So whenever you're ready, fire yourself. It might be the best decision you've ever made.

Update: I have been working on this since Tuesday. Sorry I waited so long for a new post. Migraines man, migraines…
I talked about my personal bubble last week and the irritating noise people make when they eat. Today, I have something that I think you will like just as much: The Oblivious Person.
That could also correlate to a self absorbed person, ignorant person, and a selfish person. But we will just stick with oblivious.
Before I go into my wee little story (the occurrence lasted about ten minutes in total time) let me just tell you a little tidbit about me. In class I am a fairly quiet person. Meaning that unless I have a question or can answer the question the professor has asked I do NOT talk. I just don't. There is no need to carry on a conversation while someone else is speaking or be on the phone for that matter. The phone thing can be a conversation for another day.
My story takes place in my 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 a.m. Tuesday/Thursday class. There is a young man in there of whom I do not care for in any particular way or for any particular reason. I think I knew who was a jerk and today I learned that.
BTW I have no idea what his name is so we are gonna call him George (hopefully this isn't his real name).
Class at 11:00 a.m. is an editing class. Remember I am a mass comm major? Yup, editing. So we are working on a project the professor assigned us while he attended a meeting. We gather our groups and start working on the assignment.
Now, this class isn't a big class. There are maybe 13 people in the classroom. So picture a classroom full of MAC computers and about ten students.
About twenty minutes of class time George (not of the jungle) begins to play music. My last post informed you slightly of my preferences on music, and someday you will get a list of my favorites. Today you will learn what I don't like.
A) Loud, obnoxious music while I am trying to concentrate.
B) 95% of rap music.
C) Country music unless it is the older kinds. Definitely not the country music that is trying to be rap. What is up with that anyway?
George isn't playing music that I listen to, and that is totally fine. However, he is playing rap music and the country rap music (again, what is up with this?). I would have been A-OKAY with this except that he wasn't listening to it in a low volume. Oh no, this was freaking as loud as his crappy iPhone could go. MAX. VOLUME. In a small little class.
Just WHY?
I waited to say anything because I thought the professor might come back in about ten minutes. Then I waited because SURELY he would stop being so blatantly rude.
My mistake.
I waited a total of twenty minutes trying to work on my assignment, have a conversation with my group, and tune out this awful music swelling in my ears…
I actually texted my husband and told him about the situation and how it was gonna get ugly if George didn't turn off his music.
Yeah, my patience lasted about three more minutes… I am not sorry George. What you got could have been much worse.
So, my patience completely depleted, I turned around. George was sitting with his back to me as I said, "Could you PLEASE either turn that down or off."
I waited.
George neither acknowledged my existence or my plea for silence.
I followed up with a very frustrated tone, "REALLY????"
Still nothing.
Fuming, I raised my voice and finished with, "DO YOU NOT HAVE HEADPHONES???"
I waited two heartbeats before he silenced his phone. I thanked him and turned back to my assignment and finished it in peace.
What frustrated me was the fact that he not only was listening to obnoxious music but that he was listening to it so loudly and with no regard to his classmates. The second was that he NEVER acknowledged me or apologized. Seriously?
You're a real jerk, George.
I have to add that George also wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. I was under the impression that real cowboys listened to good ole' country music and were gentlemen.
Maybe George should meet a real cowboy and take some notes. He clearly needs it.
And that concludes my definition of an oblivious person. Do you see why I consider George to be oblivious?
As always thank you weirdos for letting me vent my frustrations. Have a fantastic day!

A method of bidding in which a person who will not be attending the auction completes a form indicating the lots she wants to bid on and the amount she wants to bid. The bids are then executed during the auction by a staff member who bid competitively on behalf of the absentee bidder.
An auction at which lots are sold without reserve.
This phrase means that you are purchasing the item as it is. If it is scratched, broken, incomplete, or won't work, that is the condition in which you buy it. If you discover damage after bidding but before you check out, you are still expected to pay for and remove the item. If you discover damage after paying for the item, no refunds are given for any reason. In other words, preview, preview, preview!
A person whom the seller engages to direct, conduct or be responsible for a sale by auction.
An offer of a price.
Auction staff members who assist the Auctioneer by relaying bids from the audience. If you cannot get the Auctioneer's attention, you can get a nearby bid assistant to bid for you.
A bidding method most often used when there are several identical or similar lots being offered, for instance bookcases or, in the case of real estate, three adjacent parcels of land. When the Auctioneer announces that he will be selling a group of lots using bidder's choice, it means that the high bidder will have the chance to take any or all of the lots in that group, each at the price of the high bid. For example, there are five lots of matching bookcases being offered bidder's choice, and the high bidder bids $100. That bidder can take one for $100, all five for $500, or anything in between. If there are any lots remaining after the high bidder chooses, they are offered to the rest of the bidders until all are sold.
A buyer's premium is the portion of the auction company's commission that is paid by the buyer. The buyer's premium is added to the successful bid and becomes part of the total sale price. Absolute Auctions & Realty charges a 13.5% standard buyer's premium at the Absolute Auction Center and most on-site auctions, with a 3.5% discount for cash and check payments. To help offset the additional usage fees, our in-house (AARBIDS) Internet buyer's premium is 15%, and the buyer's premium for eBay bidders is 20%.
The entity with whom the Auctioneer has contracted to sell property; it is often synonymous with "seller" and "consignor."
A detailed accounting of a seller's items, including a list of the auctioned lots, the prices they were sold for and the commission taken by the Auctioneer. Absolute Auctions sends out consignor statements with payment 30 days after the auction.
A single object or a group of objects offered for sale as a unit.
A reserve is a minimum sale price set for a lot. For example, if a seller does not want his item to sell for less than $50, then $50 would be the reserve for that lot. With few exceptions, Absolute Auctions sells unreserved antique & estate merchandise.
The physical space in which an auction is held. Absolute Auctions typically holds a two-ring auction.
An auction where the seller has the right to accept or decline the high bid. At Absolute Auctions, this is most often used for vehicle and real estate auctions.
These are the governing rules for a specific auction. Each auction's terms and conditions may vary and the bidder must understand them before participating in an auction. Participation in the auction indicates agreement to the terms and conditions.

Carrots with Rosemary Maple Butter
These are soft, sweet and delicious. Baking them in a covered pan allows the maple/butter combo to settle into the carrots instead of evaporating. I have a hunch these will be a big hit with the kiddos too!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. While the stove is preheating prepare the carrots by washing, trimming and cutting. Set aside. In a large cast iron pan heat the butter and maple over low heat. Stir in the salt and pepper and add the carrots. Add the rosemary sprigs, mix gently.
Cover with foil and keep over low heat before transferring into the preheated oven. Bake covered for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes uncovered. Transfer onto a serving platter (there will be lots of tasty maple butter to pour atop the carrots). Place an additional sprig of rosemary on the serving platter with the carrots if you desire.

Folks at the box are participating in a paleo challenge. I ate an entire container of vanilla frosting lying in bed watching the Chargers game on Sunday. Shame shame on me.
15 minutes to establish a 3RM Pause (3 counts @ bottom of knee) Snatch.
10 min AMRAP of:
200m Run
30 Lateral Jumps 12″
200m Run
15 C2B Pull-ups
- 3 RM Snatch 3 count pause@bottom of the knee.: 1 x 3 @ 25 lbs | kept dropping after 2 with 30#. work on this!
- 9.29.2013: 129 Reps | green band
Three rep max with the pause is hard, but I am proud of the work I did. Anthony called me out on my stance and corrected it and obviously that made a huge difference. Now I know I need to start with my feet close together and then turn out my feet. I see it as second position from ballet but with 6 inches between the heels. I had it at 25 lbs but I could only get through 2 reps with 30 lbs.

It was pretty late by the time I got out of there and I didn't even shower because all of my supplies were in crates from Mega Ultra Move. Lifting those things to try to find stuff is a workout in itself.

Britta ♥ Spectrum
in categories:
As part of their guest editor sojourn at Magnet Magazine's website Britta has taken the opportunity to sing the praises of Sonic Boom and Spectrum.
I was totally blown away. So much so that I caught a ride with them to the ATP festival, where they were playing the next night. Spectrum was the best band I saw there. (I heard J Mascis said the same.) Sonic has one of the coolest and most original voices, and his band is primal and truly exciting. It is rare and thrilling to see a friend transform into a rock star.
She mentions the show that Sonic is playing in NYC with Cheval Sombre on 26 April and mentions the "special guests (wink, wink)" who'll be showing up.

Yes! The whimn contributor and Sunrise presenter is engaged.
Pop the champagne! Sunrise presenter, and whimn columnist Edwina Bartholomew has announced her engagement to fellow journalist Neil Varcoe. After six years of dating, the super-cute couple are getting hitched. Speaking exclusively to whimn, Eddy talked us through the big moment.
"It happened after I got back from the US [following the Sunrise trip]. Afterwards, I went away with my mum and my sister - without phone reception so I couldn't tell everyone. I wanted to let everyone know in person, friends and family, before announcing it.
"We went for a walk up our drive at the farm. He's not a down on one knee-type guy. He'd spoken to my dad - he did it the traditional way. I had invited my sister up for the weekend and he was planning to propose, so he had to wait. He actually tried to propose a number of times before, but I would have something on that got in the way."
The moment
"Yes, he had the ring. He had it made in consultation with my best friend. He actually had the engagement and wedding ring. It was quite funny as he dropped it on the ground as he proposed.
"My boss, Michael, was in on it. He had gone down to the jeweller to get the ring. The girls in [Channel 7] wardrobe had secretly measured my finger - the deploy being I needed jewellery for the Logies. We took a moment later that day and pondered on the whole thing and said, 'Thanks for choosing me'.
I'm elated - deliriously happened. Thrilled and excited. I do feel a bit different. You suddenly switch to 'Wow, this is it'. How wonderful."
The breakfast show presenter confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Thursday night. She wrote, "On this day, two wonderful weeks ago, the love of my life @neilwrites asked me to be his wife. And I said… umm… ahh… let me have a think… just kidding… YES. We are over the moon.'
Their super cute blue heeler puppy Mate made an appearance in the photo with them, which was taken near the property in Lithgow that they've busily been renovating.
At the beginning...
The paid started dating pretty much around the same time she joined Sunrise. "I was the Sydney correspondent, which involved a bit of travel," she has said. "So the whole time we've been together, it's been early mornings and bags packed ready to rush out the door."
Finally, the most important question... The wedding date? "No hurry," laughs Eddy. "We have lots of friends overseas. We're not eloping. It will happen."

As promised in my mid-year review, I wanted to share my weekly progress. To get us all caught up, I wanted to do one big post highlighting everything up until now, 26 weeks. This one will be a bit longer than usual, but here we go.
It's been 4 crazy months since I updated the blog with our exciting news. You can read all about our big reveal here. I guess I better start with the happenings in the first trimester. I didn't talk much about it in the previous post, so here is that run-down.
First Trimester
Symptoms: The first trimester was a bit of a rocky start, with all day nausea and morning sickness. I seemed to be a bit sicker this time than with Aspen, but it all hit later. I was able to enjoy 9 blissful weeks with hardly a symptom. Then bam! I was lucky to escape the crazy fatigue that I had last time, which was a blessing having to chase a toddler around. I did get to add to the symptoms list this pregnancy, crazy dreams. There was a week period where I had the most bizarre and dark dreams. This included prison fights with shanks and visits from demons reminiscent of The Exorcist. I said they were dark. I'm just glad that part seems to have passed. Crazy hormones!
Food Cravings: Unlike my pregnancy with Aspen where I didn't crave anything, I actually got to enjoy the random food cravings and aversions. This time my love was Mexican food. Specifically Taco Bell. You could find me in the drive through line regularly getting my Nacho Bell Grande and Beef Supreme Chalupa. Or, just daydreaming and talking about it when I wasn't indulging in my craving. I even found a few copycat recipes that we enjoyed. Make sure you check out these recipes for Mexican Pizza and Cheesy Crunch Wraps. They were super delicious!
Food Aversions: Anything healthy. Or maybe that was just me having an excuse to eat junk food. I had a few aversions to food, but it was a day by day challenge to avoid the stomach rolls at the mention.
Milestones: During the first trimester, I had to switch doctors from my old OB who was moving. It was a sad first doctor's visit because we loved everything she did for me when Aspen was born. My second doctor's visit was much like the first, getting set up with my new doctor. Well minus all the needle pokes. By my second visit, we were able to hear the babies heartbeat for the first time.
Aspen's reactions: It took a while for Aspen, all of 2 years old, to grasp the idea of a baby. I think during this time, it was mostly just repeating what we told her. We would frequently ask her if she wanted a brother or a sister. The answer was usually sister. I guess we shall see if her wish comes true.

Just as Stephen Strasburg prepares to sit down, Ross Detwiler looks like he's ready to stand up to his full height. And that may prove to be quite tall.
The 6-foot-5 southpaw, gifted with what old-timers praised as "the easy gas," has emerged since the all-star break as one of the three hardest throwing left-handers in the National League, a tick behind the Nats' Gio Gonzalez and 2011 Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw.
With 10 straight powerful starts since the midseason break, Detwiler has gained more and more confidence in his stuff, his heat trending higher as the season progresses, until now he has also moved into baseball's elite in nearly every statistical category.
After seven scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the Cubs on Labor Day (in which he barely labored at all), Detwiler is now in MLB's top 20 in ERA (3.15), hardest to hit (batting average), hardest to reach base (WHIP), fewest pitches per inning and most groundballs.
If this is who Detwiler has truly become, and his ERA is 3.10 over his last 206 innings, encompassing all of '11, too, then the Nats have found a lefty comparable to, or a hair behind, Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann.
Couldn't come at a better time. Detwiler is the Nats' presumptive fourth starter to join their postseason rotation with Strasburg getting moth-balled.
The 26-year-old, who has spent the last five years battling changed mechanics, hip surgery, a lost curveball and "zero confidence," has picked a perfect time to put the pieces of his sixth-overall-draft-pick talent back together and emerge as one of the game's rising stars.
"Det was awesome. He's been pretty awesome all year long, but today he was real special," Manager Davey Johnson said.
Above Detwiler's locker is a poster from the action comedy cop movie "The Other Guys" with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg flying through the air, dressed in suits, but karate kicking while firing a pair of pistols apiece. But Detwiler and Edwin Jackson's faces have been photo-shopped in place of the movie stars, courtesy of Jackson's fiancée.
"Which one am I?" Detwiler said. You're Ferrell. Finally. Be happy.
On Labor Day, the Nats faced, and beat, Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who ranks third in baseball in velocity behind only Strasburg and Tampa Bay ace David Price. The big Cub topped out at 98, Detwiler at 97.
Detwiler's delivery is graceful, flowing, almost languid, until his rising fastball zooms through the top of the strike zone at 94 to 97 mph, or his sinker, an even tougher pitch, dives at hitters' knees just a blink less quickly. No other pitcher in baseball can throw his two fastballs so frequently, 80 percent of the time, simply daring hitters to cope with them and yet still flourish. In fact, when the Nats coaches encouraged him to trust his smoke after the break, he went fastball crazy, throwing 89 percent heat in nine straight starts, including 155 fastballs in 162 pitches in back-to-back starts.
The Nats' brass had to chuckle. Was this the same choir-boy Detwiler who looked like he was 12 when he was drafted, whose speed dropped 4 mph and whose confidence collapsed after the Nats stupidly changed his cross-the-body throwing mechanics and almost trashed his career. Was this the lefty who lost his fabulous college curveball and, to this day, has never rediscovered how he threw it?
"I wish I could put out an APB on a scouting video from USA Baseball in '06," Detwiler said. "That may be the only piece of tape left anywhere that shows me throwing that curveball."
How good was it? "I threw one that started in the lefthand batter's box and ended up down-and-in to a right-handed hitter," he said. "Pretty good."
Finally, the Nats' brass, including GM Mike Rizzo, threw a collective rant and said, "Where the hell is the guy we drafted? Get him back." The Nats, who'd once told Detwiler "you'll never pitch in the majors throwing that way," told him "go back to throwing that way."
He'd forgotten how. "I have no idea what my old mechanics were," he says. "I rebuilt it and now I'm finally comfortable again."
Now, even Detwiler's own teammates can hardly believe how far he's come even though, in the last two Nats spring trainings, the buzz was always, "Who's throwing the best of anybody? Detwiler. Go look at him."
"We were in the bullpen looking at the [radar readings]," Tyler Clippard said. "We were trying to figure out what left-handers throw harder. Price and Matt Moore in Tampa Bay. Who else? Basically, nobody."
That's correct, give or take six inches, especially if you look at his last 10 starts, including Monday's 94.0 average speed.
"Det is worlds apart from where he was at the start of last year. Now, he looks like he has all the confidence," Clippard said. "He's spotting his sinker at 95. I'd put him up with anybody."
The last (huge) piece of the puzzle came this year: mound presence. From Gonzalez he took the lesson to be happier in his work, less tense. But, during a bullpen stint, it was veteran lefty Mike Gonzalez who preached "that aggressive attack attitude," Detwiler said. Now, before his first pitch, his intro music is Metallica's thundering "Wherever I May Roam." Come on, adorable skinny Ross Detwiler?
"After I hear that song, I get a huge adrenalin rush," Detwiler said. "My first three pitches of the game were sinker for a called strike, fastball up and away for a swinging strike and a sinker painted low away [at 95] for [called] strike three. I think that sent a message."
The Nats' scoreboard advised the crowd: "Someone or something effecting your enjoyment of the game? Call . . ." Too bad the Cubs couldn't complain about Detwiler spoiling their fun.
The day's best development was that Detwiler incorporated the advice of pitching coach Steve McCatty to use his change-up and curveball more as the game progressed and hitter's got a better bead on his fastball. Detwiler ended minor jams in the fourth, fifth and seventh by getting the last outs with a curve, change-up and curveball for a double play, all pitch calls by catcher Kurt Suzuki. Still, 78 of his 93 pitchers were two varieties of that easy gas.
Years ago, when the Nats introduced Detwiler, General Manager Jim Bowden gushed about how power-pitching left-handers were essential for "postseason baseball." The Nats did everything but name Detwiler their Game 1 starter in the World Series — year or decade unknown. Bob Boone compared him to Steve Carlton as a skinny teenager.
"I remember — July 5, 2007," Detwiler said. "I've been through a lot since then, including one point with zero confidence."
Now, it's come full circle.
"Left-handers take longer. Sometimes, they have to figure out how good their stuff is," Johnson said. "Koufax didn't put it together until he was 26."
Oh, give it a rest.
Johnson gives a you-never-know-how-good-they'll-get shrug. "When he learns how to use his whole arsenal, it's going to be a lot."
A lot of what?
Fun, probably.

Until April 2013 a national scheme called the social fund was available to help people on benefits with emergency needs. Since April 2013 this has been replaced by various local welfare funds. The national scheme for England no longer exists except for budgeting loans (see below).
Each local authority administers their own local social fund with their own rules. There are no national guidelines. In many places help is no longer available through cash grants but instead the local welfare fund is used to support services provided by charities and the voluntary sector. Payments from local welfare funds come from a fixed local budget and there is no automatic right to help.
To find out about provision where you live you should contact your local council. You can also find links to your council's web pages using the Child Poverty Action Group's local welfare fund guide.
Scotland and Wales have their own national schemes. More information is available from the Scottish government's welfare fund page and the Welsh government's discretionary assistance fund page .
The social fund consisted of a number of elements:
Budgeting Loans are available for individuals who need to spread the cost of one-off expensive items such as furniture/household equipment, clothing/footwear, home removal costs and maintenance/improvements. Budgeting Loans must be repaid - they are not an entitlement. You should seek advice if you are considering using these loan schemes.
More information is available from the government's budgeting loans guide and for Northern ireland on the NIdirect website.

Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, among both men and women, and most of these deaths are preventable. That's because cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. In fact, about 90 percent (that's 9 out of every 10) of all lung cancers are caused by smoking. A key reason for the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer is the fact that tobacco smoke contains more than 3,500 chemicals, 40 0f which are cancer-causing, or carcinogens. Cigarettes also contain more than 30 toxic metals such as nickel, cadmium, and radioactive substances.
While lung cancer used to be primarily a disease of men, as more women became smokers, more women developed lung cancer, as compared to men. Smoking is also associated with a number of other tobacco related disease such as emphysema, heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

This was considered a big deal because women from these country were not equal with men. The game in China were one of the most expensive Olympics in history.

British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) recently agreed to pay a record-breaking $3 billion settlement for the improper marketing of many dangerous pharmaceuticals, including Paxil. Federal regulators say that the drugmaker marketed several of its drugs for unapproved, off-label uses. This type of marketing is common among large drugmakers and is unlikely to stop despite massive fines levied against these companies, according to commentators such as former New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer.
"What we're learning is that money doesn't deter corporate malfeasance," Spitzer said. "The only thing that will work, in my view, is CEOs and officials being forced to resign and individual culpability being enforced."
Spitzer filed a similar lawsuit against GSK in 2004 regarding its improper marketing of Paxil, an antidepressant.
Authorities allege that GSK marketed Paxil to minors and helped fabricate a medical journal article that misreported Paxil's effectiveness in pediatric patients. Clinical evidence shows that not only is Paxil ineffective in treating depression among minors, but the drug also increases the risk of suicide in patients under 24. It is unclear how many patients' deaths are linked to the inappropriate marketing of Paxil or other GSK drugs.
"Children, teenagers and young adults who take antidepressants to treat depression or other mental illnesses may be more likely to become suicidal than children, teenagers and young adults who do not take antidepressants to treat these conditions," the warning label on Paxil now states. Other serious side effects of Paxil may include uncontrollable shaking, bloody stools and vomit, seizures, and hallucinations.
In our next post, we will discuss other GSK drugs that were improperly marketed for off-label uses.

Background and context
Lady Teviot of Census Searches Ltd has been involved in Family History for thirty-five years, much of that time being a period when not many people were interested in the subject, but it is now at an all-time peak of popularity.
Looking back to when all this began with Alex Haley's programme
, such popularity has continued to the present day with the third series of
Who Do You Think You Are?
The rapid expansion of genealogical sources which are now available on the internet has added to the interest, with people of all ages and both sexes becoming hooked. What began as curiosity as to the origins of my own family became after about six months a research service for family history which also includes intestacy (that is, when people die without leaving a will and the missing heirs to the estate have to be found) and research for the media, which can lead to some very odd requests for information.
The bonus has been travel in the form of lectures and seminars in Canada, the U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, taking part twice in the TV programme
Good Morning Australia
, the
Dini Petty Show
in Canada, as well as TV and radio in the UK, including the second and third television series of the popular
Heir Hunters
programme on BBC 1.
I was President of the Federation of Family History Societies 2001-2011 (and am now a Vice-President for life), Chairman of the Friends of East Sussex Record Office and a Member of the Council of the British Records Association. I am also an accredited speaker for the Surrey and East Sussex W.I.s. and speak in addition to the Rotary, U3A and other associations.
My first introduction to family history was by way of two books out of the meagre five or so on the library shelf, namely one by L.G. Pine (the title of which escapes me), and another by Gerald Hamilton-Edwards called
In Search of Ancestry
which I found much more interesting. Compared to nowadays they would be considered woefully inadequate. I thought about going to Somerset House which seemed the obvious place to begin but that seemed rather daunting, so my next step was to venture down to Abney Park Cemetery in the East End of London where my mother told me her parents were buried. Being quite uninterested in her ancestors, she had not known that there were other members of her family buried there. Little did I think that some thirty years later I would be speaking at a Conference in Ottawa, mentioning London Cemeteries, when a hand in the audience shot up and a man admitted that he was one of the chief indexers for a project on Abney Park which is available on the internet and is a wonderful source for London burials in the East end.
