Cook Inletkeeper, Pilot project to establish long term stream temperature sites Kenai Peninsula
Grant Summary: The goals of this project are to make stream temperature data more accessible to fisheries managers and Alaskans, more cost-effective, and of high enough quality to be useful for future climate change analysis.
Results: With support from the Kenai Peninsula Chapter of Trout Unlimited (KPTU) and WNTI, we have accomplished the following:
Southcentral Alaska Chapter Trout Unlimited, Chester Creek, AK, streambank stabilization and restoration
Grant Summary: The project will restore native char habitat by stabilizing and re-vegetating the stream banks within the project area. This will reduce sedimentation by decreasing erosion, thereby improving water quality. The project will also improve instream habitat by adding natural features to the stream, which will reduce stream velocity and create habitat. Project is being conducted by the Southcentral Alaska Trout Unlimited Chapter, Anchorage Waterways Council, and Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game. Click here to read the final report.
Rattlesnake Creek Watershed Group, Rattlesnake Creek, MT, streambank and riparian restoration
Grant Summary: The project will stabilize an eroding streambank, organize volunteers to collect and plant riparian shrubs, plant four large trees, and support monitoring and maintenance efforts. By stabilizing the eroding streambank and planting native riparian trees and shrubs, it is anticipated that this project will significantly reduce point source sedimentation and improve water quality along a stream that serves as highly important aquatic habitat for bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. Click here to read the final report.
Rio Grande Cutthroat trout angler survey and educational materials
Grant Summary: The goal for this project is to raise awareness among anglers who either visit or live in the Rio Grande Basin about the recreational and biological value of native Rio Grande cutthroat trout. The survey was conducted during the 2014 angling season in the Rio Grande river valley in Colorado. Copies of the informational brochure have been distributed in Rio Grande County, CO. A presentation about this project was presented at the January 2015 Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout conservation team meeting in Alamosa, CO.
Arizona Trout Unlimited 2014 Native Trout Management conference
Grant Summary: Grant funds were used to provide financial and in kind resources to conduct a daylong conference with a full agenda of presentations on native trout recovery and conservation, and workgroup session to address the natural resource issues that could impact native trout. The conference was held April 24-25, 2014. The conference had 104 attendees representing over 30 different conservation organizations, state, and federal agencies. The conference keynote speaker, Chris Wood, Trout Unlimited CEO, gave an enthusiastic message of wild and native trout restoration and protection work. The conference also included two conservation awards to honor an organization and an individual "for their dedication to the conservation, protection and restoration of native and wild trout". The Apache Trout Award was presented to White Mountain Apache Tribe Game and Fish for taking the first critical steps to conserve Apache trout in 1955 which led to the 1975 downlisting from endangered to threatened. The Gila Trout Award was presented posthumously to Dr. Robert Behnke. A one day field trip to Grapevine Creek to view Gila trout restoration project was included in the conference agenda. The full agenda and presentations are available here.

toddler avoids transplant, mended heart is second chance at life
Toddler Avoids Transplant, Mended Heart is Second Chance at Life
Columbus, OH - 2/9/2016
Just two years old at the time, Zoey Jones was told she would need a heart and lung transplant for her failing organs, a complication due to the single ventricle heart defect she was born with. She was referred to Nationwide Children's Hospital where they began to prepare for a transplant, when a second look in the catheterization laboratory (cath lab) led doctors to believe her heart and lungs were strong enough to avoid transplant altogether.
Instead, Zoey underwent the Glenn operation last year, the second of three surgeries which will pave the way for her to live a normal life with her own heart. In the past few weeks, Zoey has seen major results from the surgery.
"She's like a whole new little girl," said Tori Goddard, Zoey's mom. The family traveled from their home of Tennessee to Columbus, Ohio and continue to see doctors both at home and at Nationwide Children's.
"When Zoey came to our Heart Center, we were collecting data and images for her transplant," said
Darren Berman, MD
, co-director of Cardiac Catheterization and Interventional Therapy in
The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's
. "In the cath lab, we found that blocking some of the blood flow to her lungs by using a vascular plug to close off one of her surgically-placed shunts lowered the pressure in her lung arteries enough that operating might be possible."
In a discussion with
Mark Galantowicz, MD
, chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery and co-director of The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital, they decided the risks of the Glenn operation were less than the risks associated with a pediatric heart and lung transplant. After a discussion with mom, it was decided they would move forward with the surgery rather than pursuing a transplant for Zoey.
The surgery went well, but doctors anticipated that Zoey would spend a long time in the hospital after the Glenn operation. Once again, Zoey proved them wrong. She went home in just 10 days, and doctors and her mom say she's been thriving.
"Her progress lately has been amazing. Since we had her heart surgery, she has learned to walk by herself, and doctors told us she would never walk, and she's walking unassisted now," said Tori. "We have been able to wean her vent significantly, up to the point now where we're actually starting to come off of it."
"The next steps are for her to return to Nationwide Children's at the end of the month for a catheterization and assess the pressures in her lung arteries to make sure things are as good as we think they are," said Dr. Berman. "Hopefully in the future, a third surgery will help mend the very complex heart condition she was born with."

Zoey Jones, 3, works with therapists at her home in Nashville. Zoey and her family traveled to Columbus, Ohio for a heart-lung transplant, but after an innovative approach by doctors at Nationwide Children`s Hospital, Zoey`s was able to keep her heart and lungs, and is thriving today.

Wine of the Weeks – Stunning Ribera del Duero for Less Than $15/bottle – On Sale Through Tuesday, October 27th – I know that many of you love Tempranillo, Spain's most famed grape, and I highly recommend that you try this one. This one is brand new in North Carolina, and I'm not kidding when I say that it is one of the best Ribera del Duero values I've ever tried. Composed of 100% Tempranillo from 50+ year old vines, this unoaked and unfiltered beauty is a ton of wine for the money. It's the 2014 Aderezo Tempranillo, and it's our new Wine of the Weeks. Here's the deal:
2014 Aderezo Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
Regular Price: $17.99/bottle
Sale Price: $14.99/bottle (over 15% off) or $13.99/bottle on solid 6-packs (over 20% off)
Aderezo is the proprietary red wine from Bodegas Vina Vilano, a small family estate located in Pedrosa de Duero, the highest zone of Spain's famed Ribera del Duero zone. Founded in 1957, the winery sits at about 3,000 feet in elevation in the dry, rugged landscape of Western Spain. Low yielding old vines that fight to survive? Yep, it's those same conditions that result in some of the greatest wines on the planet.
Aderezo literally means garnish, dressing, or seasoning, and the wine got its name after an epic meal at Nazareno, one of the top restaurants in the region. Importer Josh Hackler of Spanish Vines had just enjoyed some "lechazo" or suckling baby lamb with a fresh tank sample of this wine. All parties at the table agreed that the wine was the perfect compliment or seasoning to the lamb, and a new wine was born. I'm looking forward to having that meal myself one day!
Trust me, this is not a wine that requires food of any sort to be enjoyed. Far from it, this is ripe, lush, and downright flamboyant with a nice mix of sweet cherry, raspberry, and plum aromas and flavors. It's not just a fruit bomb though. There's some nice complexity in the form of cracked pepper, Indian spice, and violet both on the nose and the palate. What I really like about this wine is the texture and the overall mouthfeel. It's full bodied and full flavored without being aggressively tannic or acidic. Let's call it soft, luscious, and interesting. How's that sound?
Good? Want some or want to try before you buy? If you trust me and like the wines that I write about, simply email me at email@example.com and let me know how much you'd like. I'll put it aside for you until you can make it by. Or you can stop by this Saturday, October 17th between 2-5 p.m. to taste it first and make sure it's your "glass of wine." Until then, happy drinking and eating in Asheville.

Houston, Texas cornerback Michael West is getting very close to deciding his school.
"My favorite team is Colorado State," West said, "I really liked the campus on my visit and they have a good tutoring program."
"I have to wait until February 8th to get my SAT score back, and if it's high enough, I will commit to Colorado State. I feel pretty confident on my score being high enough."
"If I don't end up passing, I will most likely go to Kilgore Junior College."
In addition to an offer from Colorado State, the 5-foot-10, 165 pound cornerback also has offers from Iowa State and Southwest Texas State.

NEW ORLEANS -- Ab Kuuan said he couldn't sleep leading up to
the Bayou Classic, but he sure didn't look tired.
"I didn't sleep at all because I was dreaming about making
plays," Kuuan said.
Make plays he did, rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns to
lift Grambling State to a 24-13 victory over Southern in the Bayou
Classic on Saturday in the Louisiana Superdome. "Thinking about
this game sent chills down my spine. I was visualizing having a
game like this."
Kuuan, who carried 18 times, scored all his touchdowns in the
second half as the Tigers handed the Jaguars their first conference
loss and denied them an opportunity to wrap up a berth in the
Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship game.
Grambling (6-5, 3-4 SWAC) avoided a losing season by defeating
the Jaguars for just the second time in the last 12 meetings.
"This was like our championship game," said Grambling running
back Ruben Mayes, who gained 89 yards on 20 carries.
Southern (8-3, 6-1) can still play for the SWAC title on Dec. 11
if Alabama State defeats Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Dec. 4. Alabama
State already has secured a spot in the championship game.
The Tigers' offensive line averages 330 pounds, about 50 pounds
more than the Jaguars' defensive line. Grambling rushed for 279
yards on 56 attempts.
"We knew they were going to run the football," Southern coach
Pete Richardson said. "They gave the illusion that they were going
to throw it. But they've got that huge offensive line and they kept
beating us and pounding on us. We had a tough time controlling
Grambling trailed 6-3 at halftime but went ahead on the first
possession of the second half. The Tigers drove 68 yards and took a
10-6 lead on Kuuan's 11-yard touchdown run. Southern regained the
lead, 13-10, on Devin Herbert's 2-yard touchdown run with 2:59 left
in the third quarter.
Grambling climb back ahead for good, 17-13, on Kuuan's 1-yard
touchdown run with 12:53 left in the game.
The Jaguars got in position to try a 43-yard field goal in the
fourth quarter, but Montie Ackley's kick was blocked by Ken Pettway
and Greg Fassitt recovered the ball at the Southern 40. That was
the second Jaguars field goal to be blocked. Jason Hatcher had
blocked Ackley's 47-yard attempt in the first quarter.
On the possession after the second blocked kick, Kuuan's 23-yard
run gave the Tigers a first down at the Southern 17. Three plays
later on third-and-7, Kuuan gained seven yards to give Grambling
first-and-goal at the seven, then scored on a 2-yard run three
plays later, giving the Tigers a 24-13 lead with 4:22 remaining in
the game.
"We came into the ball game without a whole lot to lose,"
Grambling coach Melvin Spears said. "We've run the ball well at
times this year, but the key today was staying consistent and
staying focused on the task at hand."
The Tigers had an early lead on Brian Morgan's 39-yard field
goal, which was set up by Kuuan's 32-yard run out of punt formation
on fourth-and-10 from Grambling's 43.
Grambling later went for fourth-and-6 from the Southern 42 with
less than a minute left in the first half and failed to convert
that time.
Three plays later, the Jaguars had four seconds left and threw a
desperation pass down the middle of the field. Amid three Grambling
defenders, Emile Bryant ran under Thomas Ricks' pass, falling
across the goal line for a touchdown that gave Southern a 6-3
halftime lead.
Tigers win second in 12 years

31 Frais Porte De Garage 240×240 – Garage area doors are a common weak spot when looking at security in a whole-home approach and a fairly easy target for thieves. Brooklyn garage door are not only a weakness, but provide criminals a refuge once inside. To the everyday passerby an open up garage with a part truck pulled up to it will not look out of place or scream break-in. A brooklyn garage door is a huge door over a garage that opens either manually or by a power motor (a garage door opener). Garage doors are frequently adequate to allow for automobiles and other vehicles. Small garage doors may be made in a single panel that tilts up and back across the garage ceiling.

It is always humbling to practice what I describe as reverse travel exploration. Despite best intentions I often visit a landscape with only a cursory understanding of its history. Risking the possibility that I might miss something really important (and indeed I have) this allows me to experience each place I explore through my own lens.
Last summer I revisited Dubrovnik and spent a morning at Arboretum Trsteno located 15 miles west of the city on the littoral coast, a region rich in natural resources and beauty. I didn't know much about the arboretum except that a really large tree graced its entrance and when I inquired about parks and gardens in Dubrovnik this is where I was encouraged to visit.
The tree in question, an Oriental Plane (Platanus Orientalis), is large indeed, possibly the largest in Europe. It is located at the arboretum's entrance and, according to the website Monumental Trees, may have been brought to Trsteno by a 16th century diplomat from Constantinople, one of five, planted near a natural spring. According to legend, the tree famously saved the city of Dubrovnik from an attack by Napoleon's army in 1806 when one of its limbs fell onto the road taking two days to clear and blocking their advance, thus allowing for a negotiated truce.
The Arboretum Trsteno, founded in 1494, is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) arboretum in Europe.
It is also one of the major filming locations for the enormously popular television series Games of Thrones where, as the gardens of King's Landing, it is a principal setting in which the main protagonists "weave their plots" and exchange secrets, according to the series' website.
In the scene above, filmed in the arboretum's pavilion (seen below without staging) Sansa meets with Lady Tyrell. (http://www.kingslandingdubrovnik.com/game-of-thrones-scenes/season-3)
Sited between the road and the sea, Arboretum Trsteno includes approximately 70 acres of land. Its central plateau, lined with terraces, supports the principal structures, gardens and agricultural landscapes while the land leading to the coast is steep and rocky.
Historically, the arboretum and its gardens represent the sole remaining example in Dubrovnik of a " villeggiatura" a rural or suburban retreat from the city that integrates cultural and agricultural uses. As a cultural landscape it is known for its historical gardens and collection of Mediterranean and exotic species.
Its landscape is a mix of gardens, orchards, meadows, farmlands, olive fields, groves and natural forests of oak, pine and cypress. Eleven structures are integrated within the landscape forming an ambient whole that seamlessly blends the domestic arts with the natural world.
As the summer home of the Gučetić-Gozze family (members of the noble class of citizens of the Dubrovnik Republic which included bishops, poets, artists, mariners and lovers of horticulture and gardening) Arboretum Trsteno developed incrementally with each owner adding structural and horticultural elements. Formal paths lined with hedging integrate individual gardens and cultivated sections of the property.
Arboretum Trsteno's central axis developed throughout the late Renaissance and Baroque periods providing a cohesive and formal framework for the estate's early structures, directly connecting the landscape to the sea.
The property contains eleven architectural features, all of which have been preserved in varying states of restoration. These include the summer villa, wheat and olive mills, storage and cooking facilities, a chapel, a Baroque fountain and a 70 meter long stone aqueduct.
Arboretum Trsteno was the only estate in the region with a water supply (thus the aqueduct) allowing for the development of the gardens and supporting agricultural activities.
An elaborate Baroque fountain, the largest in Dubrovnik, was added in in 1736 featuring a cave/grotto, frescoes and a pool presided over by Neptune, the Roman god of the sea.
Arboretum Trsteno is described as a hotspot of biological diversity in Dubrovnik with, according to research carried out between 1995 and 2000, the confirmed presence of more than 400 species of cultivated plants and 528 autochthonous species.
Collected over five centuries from around the world these include flowering cactuses, eucalyptus, palms, Aleppo pines, holm and cork oak, persimmons and laurels. While the collection is richest in Mediterranean and European species reflecting its Renaissance origins. Seventeen percent of the plants are of American origin and twenty-two percent of Asian origin.
In 1948 (20 years after the photograph below was taken) the estate was placed under legal protection as an arboretum and protected by law as monument of garden architecture.
Managed by the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts, the activities of the arboretum focus on the "protection and preservation of cultural, historical and natural monuments, the study and protection of cultural diversity, the development of a live collection in terms of protecting genetic diversity, and on research into the history of garden architecture."
This relationship of man to nature is a guiding theme of the Arboretum Trsteno and is reflected in a Latin inscription from 1502 sited on a wall in the garden translated as: "I am proud of my neighbors, but I am even more proud of water, the gentle climate and my owners. Visitors, behold the traces of human hands, whose excellent skills have tamed the wildness of nature."
Additional information about Arboretum Trsteno can be found in the scientific paper, Arboretum Trsteno – the Gardens of a Renaissance Villa by Mladen Obad Šćitaroci and Maja Anastazija Kovačević.
Arboretum Trsteno is open from May to October from 7:00 to 19:00 and November to April from 8:00 to 6:00 with a nominal entrance fee. It is accessible from Dubrovnik by the public bus system.

The Paw Print and the Dead Child
8 comments:
That's beautiful, Mike.ReplyDelete
After my mother died, my father stood in the hospital room and pointed to me and yelled at God, "Take her and give me my wife back." He tried to kill me a couple of times after that. Which is why I would never agree to trade anyone else's universe for one more day with anyone. But...I understand the desire.
I don't believe in a literal heaven, but sometimes I wish I did, for the sake of seeing those little brown dogs or lost children one more time.Replies
Hi Nettle, I had a friend whose mother said the same thing when her brother died. She never quite got over it. I think heaven is more or less a concept of where we would like to be but like the bargain, I do not think it possible.Delete
Your father was truly insane. To tell you to not personalize that, is just being blind to the impossible, because I know there is no way you could just hang that up in a closet somewhere and close the door forever. But that is him. That is not you. I'm just so sorry for that pain. Stupid, senseless pain. I'm so sorry.Delete
Thank you Mike, I understand. I lost a friend 3 weeks ago that I hadn't seen or spoken to in nearly 40 years . Her loss leaves a hole in my heart.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm coming up on the first anniversary of a friend I knew for most of my life, Geoff. I think that might be what triggered this.Delete
WOW, man, that is some powerful stuff.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Rod!Delete
"Yet we are not made entirely of our losses, no"ReplyDelete
I think you're right, but can't deny the losses seem to have a more traumatic impact.
I saw the transformation in my mother, after losing a 14 year old daughter.

Mr. COBURN. Mr. President, I spend a lot of time on the floor on budget issues and on spending issues, and I am first of all appreciative that this point of order was brought up. One of the greatest problems we have is not thinking in the long run. We think in the short run. We think in election cycles. We don't think in generation cycles.
Here are some facts that we do know: We are on an unsustainable course as a country. We have approximately $70 trillion in unfunded liabilities. That is greater than our private net worth today. And we are going to transfer those liabilities to our children and our grandchildren.
What is important about this point of order is a reflection of one of the things we are going to be talking about in June in this body, and that is budget process reform. Because the instructions to the CBO are so arcane that they didn't really even look at the real numbers associated with this bill. They didn't talk about the discretionary costs associated with this bill. This bill actually costs $40 billion over the first 10 years. After that, at a minimum, this bill will cost in the next 10 years one-half of $1 trillion. That is $500 billion.
Let me put that in perspective for a minute, what a billion is, because we throw that number around here all the time. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. Three hours and 20 minutes ago, we spent $1 billion, over 3 hours and 20 minutes, this Government. The debt that we are transferring now is close to $27,000 per person; that is $8.3 trillion. That is 8,300 billions. So the fact is that the scoring by the rule says CBO has to say it costs in excess of $5 billion. The fact is, CBO didn't even look at this. The one thing that they did look at is that in one year, in 2016, the 10th year, the direct spending, the direct cost is at a minimum of $11 billion. That is not counting EITC. That is not counting figuring in the 12 million people who are here already in any of the numbers or any of the costs associated with this.
So when we use CBO scoring to say it is a net plus in the first 9 years, you have to ask, what does CBO say about where we would be on surpluses? What does CBO say about the cost of Medicare when it was started and the cost of Medicare 10 years ago when they projected it to be about 70 percent of what it is today, and the projected cost in the outyears of Medicare? They never get it right. One of the reasons they never get it right is because we are not honest with them in the legislation that we put through.
So if we are going to pass this bill out of the Senate, as I suspect we will, the American people need to know not only the four things that are in this bill that are inappropriate for a constitutional republic that is going to need to defend itself in the future--and I am not talking about anti-Hispanic or anti-immigrant; I am talking about the rule of law and how that will impact us as a future country--we have to be considerate about what this will do from a financial impact to the very perilous state that we will find ourselves in 10 years from now anyway.
In 2016, we are going to be close to having 81 percent of the budget--81 percent of the budget--consumed by Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and interest on the debt. That means 19 percent is going to have to do everything else. So what you are talking about with this bill in the outyears is at a minimum of $50 billion in new expenditures per year starting in 2016. And probably the CBO scoring, because it does not reflect the direct costs of discretionary spending in this bill today for the 12 million who are here, this will be a net cost of several billion dollars over the next few years, up to $40 billion to $50 billion in year 10, and $50 billion plus after that. That violates the budget rules of this body.
We may not get the votes to win this point of order, but the American people should know, even if they agree with everything that is in this bill, that they are transferring again a lower standard of living, less opportunity, and less future to the Americans who are here today by passing this bill.
Mr. President, I yield back the remainder of my time.
Mr. COBURN. Will the Senator yield for a question?
Mr. KENNEDY. Yes.
Mr. COBURN. Is the Senator aware whether the CBO included in their scoring the disaggregated cost of the 11 million people who are here already in terms of the discretionary costs associated with them?
Mr. KENNEDY. The CBO has an estimate in there, what is necessary for border security.
Mr. COBURN. I am talking about the discretionary costs associated with the implementation. There are 11 million people here today. In fact, if the Senator will yield for just a moment, they do not consider that. That is just one of the flaws in the CBO's report.
I thank the Senator for allowing me to ask a question.

Santa Cruz at Great Rock
17 Jan
Really chuffed to announce that I'll now be riding Santa Cruz bikes. With both a new 650B Heckler frame and a Solo Carbon frame to build up I'm going to be busy and I can't wait to get these bikes out on the trails. Thanks very much to Jungle Products for the support.
2014 is going to be a big year for Phen375 Great Rock. As well as the popular skills days in Hebden Bridge and Gisburn Forest and the holiday trips to visit Basque MTB and Trans Provence, there will be more new films. The Chop video was massive in 2013 and there are plans for more collaborations, epic bike adventures and general 'vain vagrancy'.
More sponsors to be announced soon.
Ride on….

Supporters attempt to derail American's hostile bid
DISGRUNTLED Manchester United fans are to ask City regulators to investigate the timings of two crucial share sales yesterday in an effort to derail Malcolm Glazer's 300p-a-share hostile bid for the club.
Nick Towle, a spokesman for Shareholders United, a supporters' pressure group, told The Times last night that he would ask the Takeover Panel to look into dealings by J. P. McManus and John Magnier, the Irish horse racing magnates, and Harry Dobson, the Scottish mining millionaire.
McManus and Magnier effectively handed control of the club to Glazer yesterday after agreeing to sell him their 28.7 per cent stake in the company for £227 million. Minutes later, Dobson sold his 6.45 per cent stake to Glazer, further strengthening the American billionaire's grip on the…

Justin Timberlake (JT) killed it when he performed at VMAs last night. Rightfully, he was the headline this morning (besides the Miley Cyrus fiasco) and to say that they both got the attention of the public is an understatement.
JT, bringing in N'Sync was a treat to many. The rumors of the group appearing with him came true and it was a perfect performance.
To tell you honestly, I love the new JT. I'm a fan of Mirrors and Suit and Tie.
Here's the video of his performance last night. Sorry if the video is of low quality – – I'll post another one if I see a better video:

Click here to get free hot dog business lessons by email.
Just got this comment from long time reader Jim M. who says the only thing stopping him is that he has no garage to build his hot dog cart in. Problem solved Jim. Read on…
Dear Mr. Steve,
I live in a small place and I want to build an E-Z Built hotdog cart. I just have never had a garage to properly build my hotdog cart in. It does get to me because I have wanted to do it for years and I have followed you for years, listened to others as they have had success. I have also wanted for you to build my website after I get a hotdog cart built….so it does get a bit frustrating….but in all, I have always felt that you are there for soooooooooooooooo many of us. Jim M.
Thanks for the kind words Jim and I'm here for you too!!!
I have some good news for you. Many of my students built their E-Z Built Hot Dog Carts outside and are out there making money today.
You'll never live the slinger life if you don't get started. Just figure out a way and move forward a little bit each day. Soon you'll be on the streets selling your tasty hot dogs to raving fans.
If you have a blue tarp, you can build your cart out doors. Just cover it up at night while you are working on it. You should be able to find a friend or family member who will let you work in their back yard for a week.
Here is a link to a story we did on Stevie's Red Hot Weenies.
Stevie is one of our student who built an E-Z Built hot dog cart outside. He has since quit his hospital job and has been slinging hot dogs full time for several years now. It's a good, inspiring story:

Success Story – From A Curious Phone Call to Full Time Hot Dog Slinger
All you have to do is take the first step like Stevie did. You'll figure everything else out from there, one step at a time. And remember – HDP is always here to help. You can do this!

Lately, I've noticed this thing that Brooklyn women are doing. They put on flattering yoga leggings, fashion sneakers, and layer a nice coat on top, with a beanie topping it off. Not a sweatshirt. Not an athletic zip up. A coat. Something with lapels, in wool, with clean lines and tailoring.
It's not sloppy, just insouciant. It's a look that says, "I wish to be comfortable, but I have nice things." It's effortless while still looking chic.
Or maybe it's not a thing, it's just an accident. After all, this past weekend, I pulled on yoga leggings, a t-shirt, slipped into my new gold Veja sneakers, threw my favorite coat on top. Voila: I have the look.
The beanie with the fur pom-pom is by Shit That I Knit. I KNOW. Best name ever. I met the badass entrepreneur behind it, Christina, when I was in Boston and she gave me this hat to try out.* I'm in love.
STIN has over thirty local knitters turning out accessories made from hand-dyed Peruvian merino wool, alpaca, or cashmere. The one I'm wearing, the Gunn Beanie, is made of Peruvian merino wool and coyote fur. Christina sourced the handmade fur pom-pom from a female trapper in Canada. Canada (well, everywhere in North America) is currently dealing with an overpopulation of coyotes, who are moving into urban areas and preying on pets and livestock. Nova Scotia has even put a bounty on coyote pelts, to keep coyotes from becoming too comfortable skulking around residential areas.
The pom-pom makes my friends laugh, because it bounces around super cute. And the merino wool is soft and warm. If fur isn't your thing, though, there are several fur-free options as well.
I'm also the proud new owner of gold Veja sneakers, which I got from Zady. (Zady is sold out of the gold, but Veja, a French company, ships worldwide.) Veja has sustainable and ethical production at the core of their mission. They use organic cotton, wild harvested Amazonian rubber, and vegetable-tanned leather, and pay fair wages to their Brazilian workers.
The leggings are by Beyond Yoga, which manufactures in L.A.
*For free. Thanks, Christina!

Perhaps you're not interested in the fact that Minnesota Twins outfielder Delmon Young is slated to return to the lineup Friday, after missing nearly a month with an oblique injury. We've discussed the enigmatic Young quite a bit over the past few seasons, but make no mistake: His 2010 campaign was legit. Young always hit for a decent average, but 21 home runs and 112 RBIs are good for all of us. If Young is healthy, I'm willing to discount all his April numbers (the .228 batting average and lack of power) and focus more on what he did in 2010.
Entering the season, I thought matching the 112 RBIs would be tough, but even 90 this season would still be respectable, meaning this player who most viewed as overrated for years has actually become a bit underrated. Young remained consistent last year despite the perceived extra demands on him to produce runs sans Justin Morneau in the lineup; he knocked in 58 runs prior to the All-Star break, and 54 after.
Say what you will about his lack of plate discipline or shoddy defensive work, and they are pretty obvious flaws, but this is a 25-year-old hitter with a career .291 batting average over more than 2,300 at-bats, and the woebegone Twins haven't hit this season, so Young might get placed into the No. 4 or 5 batting spot right away, where RBI opportunities await. I'm not saying Young is a natural RBI guy; I'm saying he should knock in runs, though.
Young comes off the disabled list Friday, having been selected in the ninth round, on average, in ESPN live drafts, but now owned in only 55.3 percent of standard leagues. My guess is that number is about to go up, way up, and it all starts this weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays' Ricky Romero (a lefty, and Young hits them better), Jo-Jo Reyes (who hasn't won a start since the Reagan administration) and Brandon Morrow (2-6, 6.72 ERA on the road last season). I don't think the Twins rushed Young back, and I have no fears about activating him right away for fantasy.
Here are five other hitters I'll be watching a bit more closely than normal this fine weekend.
Grady Sizemore, OF, Cleveland Indians: We've seen the good, with six home runs (and 10 doubles!) in his first 18 games. The bad is obvious, as he's missed much of the past two seasons, and needed an MRI on his balky right knee two days ago. Sizemore's status is uncertain for the weekend. We hope for the best, but those in daily leagues should prepare for missed games.
Carlos Pena, 1B, Chicago Cubs: Give credit where it's due. He was hitting .167 a week ago. Now he's at .221 after three multihit games, and he's hit a few home runs. Let's see what he does against strong San Francisco Giants pitching. I'm willing to move Pena back into standard league relevance, but I'm not there yet. I'm still worried his batting average might finish at .221.
Eric Hosmer, 1B, Kansas City Royals: So, are you impressed yet? I sure am. He'll face a few hard-throwing right-handers this weekend (Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer) as well as a guy who has won three of four starts (Brad Penny). And I'm not a bit worried about the rookie. I'd own him in every league.
Chris Denorfia, OF, San Diego Padres: Frankly, he is probably the team's best outfielder, but of course manager Bud Black is likely to write Will Venable's name in the lineup Friday at Coors Field. Or will he? Denorfia is thisclose to becoming fantasy relevant. Venable can run, but not from the bench. And I'm always watching Cameron Maybin, but I remain skeptical this will be a breakout season.
Roger Bernadina, OF, Washington Nationals: OK, I've all but given up on Michael Morse. Laynce Nix is the everyday left fielder now. Bernadina mans center, and so far he's stolen three bases in five games as the leadoff hitter. Those in deep leagues could certainly do worse, and there is some power potential here. I almost get the feeling that if Bernadina doesn't hit, the Nationals will simply demote him ... but I think he will hit.
More later on the pitchers to watch this weekend.

NY judge sends 12 to jail for protesting US drones
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: February 8, 2014
DEWITT, N.Y. — Twelve protesters who refused to leave an air force base while protesting the military's use of unmanned aerial drones have been sentenced to 15 days in jail each by an upstate New York judge.
DeWitt Town Justice David Gideon found the members of the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars guilty Friday of disorderly conduct.
The Post-Standard reported that the judge dismissed a trespassing charge but sent the group immediately to Jamesville Penitentiary.
Gideon said the protesters stopped cars and people from entering Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in suburban Syracuse during a 2012 protest.
The base is home to the 174th Attack Wing of the New York Air National Guard, which operates drones used for intelligence gathering and bombing ground targets.

DUDLEY, Mass.—Nichols College—a four-year, private, business-focused school—has formed partnerships with three public community colleges in three different states—Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) in Warwick, R.I.; Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC) in Danielson, Conn.; and Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) in Worcester, Mass.—to create an affordable and smoother pathway for community college students seeking to further their education.
A ceremonial signing of the partnership agreements between Nichols and each community college will be held at 3:30 p.m. Monday, August 22, in Room 203 of the Nichols academic building on Center Road. Representing the schools will be Nichols College President Susan West Engelkemeyer, Ph.D.; QVCC President Carlee Drummer, Ph.D.; QCC President Gail E. Carberry, Ed.D.; and CCRI Associate Vice President for Student Services Dr. Ronald Schertz and Dean of Business, Science, and Technology Dr. Peter Woodberry.
These articulation agreements are part of a Nichols-launched initiative called Affordable Business and Leadership Education (ABLE). They streamline and maximize the transfer credit process; transfer students will have the benefit of knowing that their credits at the community college level will be accepted by Nichols and that they will be guaranteed admission if they meet the minimum GPA requirement of 2.0.
"Nichols College strives to become the most community college-friendly private college in New England, and it can provide the bridge between an associate's degree and the career that community college students want to pursue," said President Engelkemeyer. "Transfer students will find at Nichols that they receive high-level instruction and experiential learning opportunities in many business tracks.
"In addition, students transferring from community colleges to Nichols will gain leadership and professional development skills—all from a warm, welcoming campus community," added President Engelkemeyer. "Nichols has always been about fostering economic mobility, turning students from varied backgrounds into prosperous professionals. The Nichols ABLE initiative is consistent with the College's mission and gives us strength in an important segment of the changing higher education landscape."
William Boffi, vice president for enrollment at Nichols College, said: "Community college students contribute to the learning environment in different ways than students entering straight from high school. Many choose community college because it is a financially prudent pathway. We want to help those students get the skills to succeed as a professional and multiply their earning potential. A Nichols College degree can do that."
Most pathway partnerships from community college to a four-year college or university are between institutions in the same state and are also between two public schools or two private schools. In the case of the Nichols agreements, the public-to-private pathway from schools in three different states is unique. And while other four-year colleges also guarantee admission, it is to their continuing education divisions, not as a fully matriculated student. At Nichols, students have the option to be a day student or enter the Undergraduate Adult Education Degree Program. Special pricing means that Nichols offers students who earn associate's degrees from its partner institutions a rate that is lower than other private, four-year colleges.
"Nichols provides a clear, articulated pathway that is easy for all students and advisors to see course equivalencies," said Boffi. "It is also a very individual approach."

The presidents of the three community colleges said that their partnering with Nichols will help their students obtain a bachelor's degree at a more affordable cost.
"Great careers start at Quinsigamond Community College. We are proud of our partnership with Nichols College that allows students to earn their associate's degree at QCC and transfer seamlessly to Nichols to earn their bachelor's degree and beyond," said QCC President Carberry. "Programs like these offer affordable pathways for students to begin their careers with less debt and enter the next phase of their lives as business leaders and cornerstones of our community."
Said QVCC President Drummer: "Quinebaug Valley Community College is delighted to be part of the ABLE initiative with Nichols College. The partnership will enable QVCC students to complete the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at a nationally ranked business college for a fraction of the cost."
Added QVCC Dean of Academic Affairs and Student Services Alfred Williams: "Quinebaug Valley Community College is thrilled about this partnership with Nichols College. It is a significant opportunity for our students to receive affordable bachelor's and associate's degrees in business from two high-quality institutions. In a time of increasing college costs, it is vital that QVCC find innovative ways to help its students achieve success with a significant cost savings. We are grateful that Nichols College is contributing to this effort."
"CCRI is proud to partner with Nichols College to offer our students a new transfer pathway to pursue a bachelor's degree at an institution well-known for its business and leadership educational programs," said CCRI President Meghan Hughes, Ph.D. "It is clear that the Nichols faculty and staff understand the value that community college students like ours bring to the classroom, and this partnership presents an opportunity for our students to further their education in high-growth business fields."
Nichols College is a college of choice for business and leadership education as a result of its distinctive career-focused and leadership-based approaches to learning, both in and out of the classroom. Founded in 1815, Nichols transforms today's students into tomorrow's leaders through a dynamic, career-focused business and professional education. Nichols serves students interested primarily in a comprehensive business education that is supported by a strong liberal arts curriculum.

What it means when your ex starts liking your Facebook, Twitter and other social media posts as well as commenting on them, and how to know which ones you should respond to because it means that they miss you and want to see you, and which ones you should ignore because they are simply an attempt to gauge if you still have interest.
In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a viewer who got dumped by his on again/off again girlfriend of ten months, because he became jealous and insecure about a guy she works with. He tends to constantly be apologizing for everything he does and is worried about upsetting her. He's obviously walking on eggshells and in a fearful state. He finally walked away and stopped contacting her after she blamed the breakup on his insecurity and jealousy, and reiterated that being broken up is where they should stay. Three days after the breakup, he noticed she was still liking his social media posts and is obviously still paying attention to what he does. She reached out to him that night and sent him six text messages in a row saying how much she missed him, etc. The next morning, he responded and she tried to downplay things with the excuse that she was only drunk, and once again reiterated that they should stay broken up. He asks my opinion on whether or not I think he should have made a date with her and what her messages really mean.
Dear Coach,
My girlfriend and I have been dating for ten months, kind of off and on, but still pretty serious. Recently, I got insecure and accused her of having feelings for another guy she works with. The first time, she just got mad and disappointed and told me no. The second and third time, she got very upset and she was balling on the phone telling me she didn't know if she wanted to be with me. (She's upset because you're basically communicating to her that you don't trust her. It's important to just be a detective and see what she does. At the end of the day, if someone's going to cheat on you, there's nothing you can do about it.) I tried reaching out to her the next day, and she resisted, so I gave her space for about two days, at which point I sent her an apology. She replied with this:
"I really appreciate that you took the time to apologize to me Bob. It means more than you know. I really hate that things had to end this way between us, but it's just how it has to be right now. I don't think you're a monster at all, but I think that your fear of getting hurt was ultimately our downfall. (She could have forgiven you, but if you were insecure in general, that would turn any woman off. There is probably more going on here. If you read my book, you can self-diagnose and figure out what happened.) I would have never hurt you Bob. A part of me was so happy when you said you loved me, and you'd be the right man for me, but it was horrible timing. (It sounds like she fell for your speech, but then discovered she wasn't that into you.) I wanted to spend my life with you, have your kids, come home to you everyday. Then, I spent a week trying to fall out of love with you, and it made me sick to my stomach how much I hated the thought of losing you. (This tells me, she's a little fucked up herself. She can't get past this one issue, and will keep punishing you because she can't deal with it. Whatever a woman is feeling when she's with you, that's what she's going to associate with being with you. If it's negative, the relationship isn't going to last long.) But then I picked myself up and reminded myself that love sucks sometimes, and there's nothing I could do about it. A part of me will always love you Bob, always. And I hope you never forget that you will always hold a space in my heart. If we're meant to be, we'll find a way back to each other, but for now, we're just better off apart. (If her attraction level is low, she may be interested in someone else. If she ends up going out with this guy from work, then you know that your instincts were right.) I honestly wish nothing but the best for you, and I mean that."
I didn't reply and let things be since I thought at least some of it was a bit cheesy. We are still friends and follow each other on Twitter, and I couldn't help but notice she was liking my posts and photos and also tweeting some very deep stuff about missing me. (Don't do anything about that. She's not addressing you directly. She's throwing a hook in the water to see if you grab on to it.) Finally, about three days after the break up, she messaged me one night with six messages in a row saying, "I miss you," "Sorry," "I'm a whittle drunk," "Prob shouldn't say that," "I'm sorry," "Bye." I didn't respond until the next morning and the conversation went like this:
Me: "Are you okay?"
Her: "Yeah. I'm okay. Sorry, I was just a little drunk last night" (I would have said, "Thanks for saying those sweet things. I'd love to see you. Let's make dinner together. When are you free?" and made a date.)
Her: "Thanks for asking though"
Me: "No problem"
Her: "How have you been?"
Me: "Busy, you?"
Her: "Same. Just working all the time now"
Me: "I see you've been thinking about me lately weirdo, lol"
Her: "Why do you think that? Lol"
Her: "Oh because of my text last night? My bad"
Me: "Yeah you were being weird lol and cuz I just know"
Her: "Well I was drunk. And don't act like you haven't been thinking about me lol"
Her: "Anyway, sorry bout that I'll ttyl" (She was doing what she naturally felt like doing when she had a couple of drinks in her.)
Me: "Eh maybe just a little but alright cya"
Me: "Jessica, that was stupid of me to say, and it's not how I feel. If you
miss me its cool. You don't need to hide it or feel bad about it."
Her: "Idk what to say to that… :/ "
Her: "I do feel bad for saying it bc I shouldn't. We said our goodbye and that's how it should be right now"
Me: "I just wanted to apologize for being sarcastic is all." (You're apologizing, but you should be making a date.)
Her: "That's okay. I wasn't offended. Take care."
Here's a very funny parody of what people's social media posts really say about their lives:
I didn't respond after that but she continues to like my posts on Facebook and give me subtle hints. I couldn't help but think she was dropping hints in our brief conversation that she wanted me to say something meaningful. (Like I talk about in my article and video, "7 Principles To Get An Ex Back," you should assume the reason she's reaching out to you is because she misses you, and make a date. Make her come to you. She's the one who dumped you, therefore she's got to earn you back.) My question to you is, in your experience do you think I should have stepped in and made a move like asking her to hang out? (I would have immediately done that.) Did I actually say too much and hurt my chances? (You didn't get to the point and didn't get anywhere.) Should I continue with your no contact rule, which I understand I slightly broke? (Absolutely. She dumped you, therefore she's got to earn you back.) If she does text me again, should I ignore that? (No. The whole reason for walking away and never looking back is so if they regret it, they reach out to you. That's what you want.)

"Psychological studies have shown that people who constantly post on social media how great and fabulous their life is and how happy they are, usually are just the opposite. You never really know what is going on in other people's heads and hearts. So the next time you feel depressed about your ex, or other people who seem to be enjoying their lives when you are not, take it with a grain of salt because it is usually just BS and false advertising. When an ex continues liking and commenting on your social media posts after a breakup, but doesn't address or message you directly, ignore them because they are just fishing to see if you respond. If an ex really is missing you, regrets a breakup and wants to see you, they will engage you directly in comments or in texts, emails, private messages, etc." ~ Coach Corey Wayne

Case Study:
Michael Hinshaw, MCorp Consulting
Michael Hinshaw is Managing Director of MCorp Consulting, a customer experience management consulting firm in Northern California. The firm, which developed a Touchpoint Mapping ™ methodology that measures company brand reach within a particular marketplace, retained Get The Word Out Communications to achieve broader recognition as an industry thought leader to influence client prospects while establishing credibility in advance of publishing a book.
Get The Word Out helped MCorp Consulting develop a thought leadership marketing program driven by publishing and public speaking. The process began with an initial marketing strategy assessment, evaluating MCorp's overall reach and influence within its target market, including the degree of overall industry influence for the company and Michael Hinshaw.
The results of the initial research showed that MCorp Consulting needed to establish a foundation as a thought leader, focusing on boosting its visibility and credibility with the customer experience management sector. The initial focus was positioning company founder Michael Hinshaw as a rising voice in the field of customer experience management, while assisting MCorp in molding and articulating its ideas within industry forums.
Published Articles
Get The Word Out determined that MCorp needed to claim thought leadership around Touchpoint Mapping, especially as several competitors were freely using the concept in their own marketing. A core strategy was implemented to develop, pitch and publish several ideas around MCorp's methodology and insights in key business and trade publications.
Public Speaking
An essential component of Get The Word Out's strategy included positioning MCorp to present at industry conferences to establish expertise and position the company as a rising voice in the growing field of customer experience management.
Book Publishing
Get The Word Out assisted MCorp in conceiving of an author reputation platform strategy to strengthen its credentials and bargaining position in advance of approaching book publishers. Later, once several articles had been secured, Get The Word Out introduced MCorp to a publisher in the Bay Area.
Over a period of six months, Get The Word Out assisted MCorp in establishing a foundation as a customer experience management thought leader. We helped Michael Hinshaw publish five articles in top targeted industry publications, including:
• North Bay Business Journal • American Management Association's Leader's Edge • Brandchannel.com • 1to1 Media • Quirks • Loyalty Magazine • Customer Service Manager
Moreover, Get The Word Out secured two speaking opportunities for Michael Hinshaw at SAP's CRM 2011 in Orlando, Florida and Customer Engagement Summit 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand, establishing MCorp's credentials as a rising voice and influencer in customer experience management.

Published: Thursday 5th March 2015 by The News Editor
Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has urged Ed Miliband to rule out governing with the SNP in order to protect the United Kingdom.
The ex-Tory leader said the nationalists would enter any deal with the "overriding aim" of "prising apart" the union.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Sir John said he was speaking as "an Englishman with a profound admiration and respect for Scotland".
He argued it was "shameful" that Labour have not already ruled out a power-sharing deal.
"They would be relying on support from a party that will use every strategy it can to break free of the UK," he added.
"Labour now have to make a choice. They must summon the courage of their convictions and declare their intent.
"The British people – north and south of the border – do not deserve to be misled. Labour must remove any doubt.
"If the outcome of the general election is inconclusive, will they refuse to govern with the support of a party whose principal aim is to break up the United Kingdom?"
An SNP-Labour coalition would "penalise UK citizens outside Scotland", and worsen relations between England and Scotland, Sir John warned.
"Separatism thrives on grievance, real or imagined, and the SNP would promote grievance wherever and whenever they could. They have done so for many years, and would not stop…
"Neither history, nor electors, would forget if Labour facilitated the break-up of the UK.
"We have a tragedy in the making and, by that, I do not only mean this possible alliance of political enemies. I mean something far more basic: the alienation of the Scots from the English."

What are your hours? We understand the work demands of our clients, so our therapists offer appointment times that accommodate your schedule. In addition to regular business hours, we offer early morning hours (7 am and 8 am), evening hours (until 10 pm) and Saturday hours (9 am to 4 pm).
I need help now. How quickly can I see one of your therapists? Typically within two business days, occasionally sooner. Please call our office administrator, Leah Sugarman, at 202.588.1288 to schedule an appointment. She is very responsive and will work with you to match you up with the right therapist based on your needs.
Where are you located? DC Talk Therapy is in the Woodley Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., directly across the street from the National Zoo. We are halfway between two Metro stops (red line) — Cleveland Park and Woodley Park. We are in the South Entrance of the building, next to Starbucks. If you choose to drive, there is side street parking usually available, up to two hours.
Do your therapists offer shorter or longer sessions? Yes. Kathy Richardson and Barbara Donesky offer 30- and 90-minute individual therapy sessions, and Matt Sosnowsky offers 30-minute sessions. Ninety-minute therapy sessions are good for those looking to make significant progress in a short period of time. Thirty-minute sessions are about half the cost of regular sessions, so they appeal to those clients on a tighter budget.
Do your therapists offer sessions over the phone? Yes, several of our therapists do. In addition, three of our therapists offer Skype therapy sessions.
What if I need to cancel a therapy session? We understand that occasionally you need to cancel your therapy session for a variety of reasons. However, we ask that you give us 24 hours notice. If you do not cancel within 24 hours, we will bill you in full for that session. We understand that true emergencies occasionally occur and that those take precedence, so we will not bill under those circumstances. Also, if you know weeks or months in advance that you will be away on vacation, please let your therapist know as soon as possible.
Is your office closed on major holidays? DC Talk Therapy is closed for the following holidays: New Year's Day; Memorial Day; July 4th; Labor Day; Thanksgiving and the day after; Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. We remain open on all other federal holidays.
Is your office open in bad weather? DC Talk Therapy follows the federal government's lead in terms of closing. So, for example, if the government is closed due to snow, so are we. However, we open at our regular time if the government opens one or two hours late. If you feel unsafe to come into the office on a day with inclement weather, please call or email us to let us know and you will not be charged. We do not want you to compromise your safety.
If you have any other counseling or psychotherapy-related questions, please call us at 202.588.1288 or email our office administrator, Leah Sugarman. We'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Elisha PENNY & Elizabeth WAYMIRE
I am in search of the death dates & burial locations of Elisha PENNY & his wife, Elizabeth Ann (WAYMIRE) PENNY. Elisha & Elizabeth lived most of their lives in Miami & Darke counties, so I am fairly sure they died and are buried in that area. With so many researchers out there, someone must have run across these folks somewhere! Any information will be truly appreciated. Rick Wood, email@example.com

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the new edition of Huckleberry Finn that will edit out the N-bomb and replace it with the word "slave" (a word that has no negative connotations!). Someone has decided that this historical revisionism does not go nearly far enough!
The tweeting of comedian Chris Hardwick (aka @nerdist) alerted me to an insane/awesome project: publishing a custom edition of Huckleberry Finn in which every instance of That Word is replaced by "robot." The originators of the idea–Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine–launched a Kickstarter page for it, with the expectation that more money raised = a more awesome book (i.e., illustrations and other goodies). Different levels of donation can earn you different items as well, such as an invite to the launch party in LA.
Peep the video below for more information. It's a spot-on parody of the intellectual dishonesty behind the original literary scrubbing, as well as a comment about how the attempts to "clean it up" dehumanizes the character of Jim just as much as the racists in the book who casually hurl epithets at him. Oh, and the video is pretty damn funny, too.

Amberrose's Induction Updated 745PM
Amber went to the hospital last night (Wednesday) at 10pm to get the induction started. I just got my first text from her..her water has been broken and she is having pretty good contractions. She is just about to get her epi. She is asking for prayers for Libby because there is meconium (a good amount she said) in her water.
I will update as soon as I hear more from her!
I haven't heard from Amber since around 3:30, but at that point she was pretty sure she was going to have to have a c-section (Which I know she really did NOT want)...but she wasn't progressing - she was dilated at 2 all day but having strong contractions so there was no need to up her Pitocin, so her Dr. was giving her an hour to dilate or she was going to the OR. I am praying I haven't heard from her because she is in hard hard labor now and got to avoid the c-section, but no matter how libby comes into this world all that matters is that mom and baby are ok!
Re: Amberrose's Induction
good luck
Re: Amberrose's Induction
Sending plenty of prayers her way for her and Libby, hoping all is well and also sending ELV's
Re: Amberrose's Induction
got an update. libby's vitals are good and momma's epi is starting to kick in. i asked her how dilated/effaced she is, but i haven't heard back yet!
Re: Amberrose's Induction
ELV's! Hope things are going well!
Re: Amberrose's Induction
Good Luck and cant wait to hear she had Libby.
Re: Amberrose's Induction
Glad to hear the epi is kicking in and that Libby's vitals are great
Re: Amberrose's Induction
Hope all is well with her and Libby.......Chels what is meconium? I'm going to google it.
Googled......oh no what happens when meconium is with the baby?
Re: Amberrose's Induction
Hope everything goes OK!
Jeni, there's a chance they could get it in their lungs. Meconium aspiration syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Re: Amberrose's Induction Updated 745PM
Hope all goes well, and although a c section is not first choice for most anyone, i think it will help her
Re: Amberrose's Induction Updated 745PM
oh no! I hope shes ok! C-Sections are NOT fun and are a more rougher recovery, i had one 5 months aago
Re: Amberrose's Induction Updated 745PM
Thoughts and prayers.....
