(Parenting.com) -- How's your love life? If your answer is anything but "It's great, thank you very much," then read on. Having kids can wreak havoc on a mom's mojo faster than grape juice can stain a white carpet.
Experts give advice to new moms on how to restart their sex lives.
And as discovered in a Parenting.com poll, it's not just the brand-new parents who are missing sex: For a variety of reasons, mothers at all stages often find themselves bereft of grown-up bedtime.
Here are some of the most common ones, plus some doable solutions for each.
Issue: ugh! negative body image
I'm saggy on top, mushy in the middle, and jiggly all over. I can't imagine who in their right mind would want to get naked with me.
Well, your partner, for one. But we get it: The most important sex organ is between your ears, so if you think you're no longer attractive and you're too self-conscious in bed to enjoy yourself, then your sex life is going to suffer.
So here's what you do:
Take it off. Take it all off. Seriously. Strip down, stand in front of the mirror, and check yourself out -- everywhere, advises Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D., author of "Turn Ons: Pleasing Yourself While You Please Your Lover."
Bend, stretch, run your hands over every angle and curve. Those areas that seem squishy to you? Believe it or not, they're probably the ones that feel softest and most sensual under your husband's fingertips. He won't see them as "problem areas" unless you point them out, adds Laura Berman, Ph.D., author of "Real Women, Real Sex." Parenting.com: Secrets of a made-to-last marriage
Then dress the part of a sexy woman. Not in thigh-high boots or skimpy thongs (unless you're into that), but in clothes that don't hide your body. Kick those oversize tees and baggy sweats to the back of the closet, and find a pair of jeans that fit and a flattering top or two. A lacy pair of undies won't hurt either. And if you just can't bear to bare it all in bed, invest in some sexy lingerie that you can leave on -- at least up until the last minute. (You won't care by then, we promise!)
Finally, get physical. Studies show that exercise alone can improve body image, whether or not it results in pounds or inches lost. A walk with the kids, a sweat-inducing spring cleaning -- anything that gets you moving -- is practically guaranteed to budge the needle on a skewed body image.
Issue: eek! no time
My husband and I are like two ships passing in the night -- every night. We want to get together, but we can't figure out how. Parenting.com: Sex after kids: Who's getting it?
If you're waiting around for a free moment to magically appear so the two of you can be alone, forget that. It's about as likely to happen as your kid is likely to potty-train herself -- which is why the following advice gets repeated again and again: In order to have time together, you're going to have to schedule it.
"The rest of your life is planned practically down to the hour," says Barbach. "Sex shouldn't be any different." Pick a day and time together, and then write it down on your calendar (or tap it into your BlackBerry or iPhone and set the alarm). Whatever you do, try not to cancel. And if you absolutely have to, reschedule right away! Even better, keep a standing date for sex -- like Friday nights or even Saturday mornings while the kids are at soccer practice.
If timing isn't the problem so much as logistics (you can't "let go" with the kids in the house, for example), then get out.
"Find another couple in the same boat, and take turns babysitting," suggests psychologist Laurie Mintz, Ph.D. Enjoy having an empty house to yourselves, or book a room in a nearby hotel (even if you can only manage to stay a few hours). Parenting.com: My sex life moved from mattress to the kitchen floor
"For about the same amount of money a fancy dinner would cost," says Mintz, "you can get a bargain hotel room, a cheap bottle of wine, and some bubble bath." Bonus: You won't have to make the bed afterward.
Issue: yawn... I'm too tired for sex
And it's not just me. My partner is as wiped out as I am much of the time.
Sheer exhaustion is a huge sex-drive deflator for anyone -- and that goes for the parents of older kids as well as newborns. Even after your baby is sleeping through the night, you may not get enough rest. Maybe your preschooler is going through a bed-wetting or bad-dream stage, or you're sacrificing zzz's for after-hours laundry or catch-up e-mails.
Do what you can to log as much shut-eye as you need, whether that means snoozing when your kid naps during the day or divvying up chores more equitably so that you and your partner are both better able to get a decent amount of sleep.
And if you're not convinced you'll be able to get your husband to pitch in more? Just explain that you need time to relax and recharge in order to feel like making love. You'll be amazed at how fast the dishwasher gets unloaded.
Issue: ouch! sex hurts
It's been three years since I had my kid, but I hurt down there -- lately, anything beyond second base practically kills.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists estimates that two thirds of women will have painful sex at some point in their lives. Obviously, any number of physical issues can crop up during the childbearing years -- post-delivery soreness, dryness caused by breastfeeding or birth-control products -- all of which can be dealt with straightforwardly (with lubricants and more foreplay).
A less specific source of discomfort is a condition called vulvodynia, which results in burning, itching, stinging, or a raw feeling around the opening of the vagina, says Lynne Shuster, M.D., director of the Women's Health Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. It's not always clear what causes this, but a vulvar-pain specialist (ask your ob-gyn for a referral) can usually pinpoint what's going on and prescribe treatment. Some women find relief in topical creams, for example.
Issue: help! my sex drive has gone AWOL
Not only is my libido lost, I don't know where to look for it! I love my husband, but sometimes I think I could live without sex for the rest of my life and be perfectly fine.
If you can relate, you're not alone. As many as 33 million women in the U.S. report being uninterested in sex. The good news: This absolutely doesn't have to be a permanent state.
"A person's libido is made up of two parts: sex drive and desire," says Dr. Shuster. Sex drive is the physical urge to be, well, sexual, the part that's fueled by hormones and easily affected by many of the things we've already touched on -- like fatigue and discomfort.
Desire, on the other hand, is the craving to be close to your mate. That doesn't usually go away on its own, but it can certainly get buried. Couples with kids frequently allow the demands of parenting and work and outside activities to get in the way of intimacy. "And if you're not connecting, chances are you won't feel like making love," says Barbach. Face time with your partner should be a priority; it's just as important as spending time with the kids.
Some other ways to jump-start your libido -- for you both:
Get in touch, literally. "Make physical contact with each other in loving, nonsexual ways throughout the day," says Mintz. Gentle hugs and quick shoulder rubs are essential to staying close.
Flirt. Sit on your husband's lap during family movie night or engage him in a quick lip-lock while you cook dinner. Suggestive, nondemanding encounters like these will send the message to your partner that you find him attractive, and they'll likely stir up your own desires.
Be on the lookout for inspiration. Did something on TV turn you on? Did you notice how cute your husband's butt looked this morning when he came out of the shower? Jump on those passing thoughts (and him, if possible!).
Just do it. "Adopt a Nike-like attitude toward sex," says Michele Weiner-Davis, author of "The Sex-Starved Wife." Sometimes it's a good idea to make love even if you feel blasé about it at that moment. You'll be surprised at how quickly you go from lukewarm to hot.

Tecumseh native Jordan Harrison is one of six students who have been chosen for a new doctoral program in nursing at the University of Michigan that puts an emphasis on research and innovation.
Harrison, a junior at U-M, will focus her research on health informatics after she graduates from the undergraduate nursing program in the spring of 2014.
The new program is called the Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing. U-M was one of three universities in the country chosen by the Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation for a $3 million grant to fund the program.
"I was really grateful and really excited to be chosen for the program," Harrison said.
Harrison, who graduated from Tecumseh High School in 2009, initially set out to study bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where she assisted a graduate student with protein engineering research. However, she found herself more attracted to clinical research and nursing than to engineering.
"I just decided that I was more interested in the nursing perspective," she said. "They have a holistic perspective. They look at the whole person."
After three semesters at the University of Pennsylvania, Harrison transferred to U-M to study nursing. She became interested in the Hillman program after hearing associate professor Marcelline Harris, now one of Harrison's mentors, talk about health informatics in January after U-M found out it had received the Hillman grant, Harrison said.
"I really thought what she did sounded interesting," she said. Harrison said she was one of 21 people who applied for the Hillman program.
Health informatics promotes health care through the application of information technology, Harrison said. It includes basic science, information technology and organizational aspects, she said. An example would be an online database system to monitor health disparities across the country and identify high-risk populations, so that health promotion campaigns can be targeted to those groups, Harrison said.
"I think it's important because people need to become more active and involved in their health care," Harrison said.
She thinks health informatics will be "something really big in the future," Harrison said.
While her doctoral program won't begin until she graduates from the nursing program, she already attends seminars on research topics and will participate in research with her faculty mentors, Harrison said.
What would Harrison like to do once she has her doctorate?
"I'd like to be in some kind of leadership position at a major medical center," she said.
She thinks the Hillman program helps advance the public view of nursing as a diverse field with power to create change, Harrison said.

What to Order this Week: Subway
You likely know now Subway spokesperson Jared used the sub sammies to help him seriously slim down. However, Jared isn't the only one who likes to eat the subs to stay fit. A recent study asking fans how they would prepare to strut their stuff this NYC Fashion Week season found that approximately eight in ten women would turn to Subway to eat fresh and keep their figures fashion-forward. It was done by Subway, so you know, maybe there's a teensy bit of bias -- but it's still a healthy fast-food standby.
It's easy to eat clean at Subway thanks to their Fresh Fit Choices menu, which is the first fast food menu to earn American Heart Association certification. MAJOR bonus points, amiright? These flavorful options are always in vogue.
- Turkey and Spinach with Avocado: This sub combines smoky turkey with our favorite creamy superfood, avocado and nutrient-packed spinach. Load it up with more veggies like tomatoes, red onion and cucumber for the perfect lunch.
- Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki: This totally un-boring chicken sammie is a flavorful blend of tender teriyaki glazed chicken strips and Subway's own fat-free sweet onion sauce. Served hot and toasted on freshly baked bread, the only thing you need to add is unlimited colorful veggie toppings.
- Roast Beef: Better than a burger, this sub is piled high with lean, savory roast beef that is sure to satisfy. Add a kick with jalepenos or cool it down with fresh tomato slices.
Each of these 6-inch subs come in at less than 350 calories and less than 10 grams fat. To keep them lean and nutrient-rich, be sure to choose whole-wheat bread, load them up with plenty of fresh veggie toppings and stick to lighter sauce options like mustard, vinegar or the sweet onion sauce.
What do you like to order at Subway to stay fit? Tweet @SELFmagazine or @sarahjaneRD.

A Get Well Wish for Steve
How I wish these days didn't come - illness is for someone else, but not for dearly loved ones. Today's wish for Steve is for a speedy recovery, lots of rest, and sunshine .
These photos of days long ago hold wonderful memories; ok, not of the time the photos were taken, but of the little boy who always had a twinkle in his eye, and who always seemed to enjoy a new adventure - and who grew up to still have that twinkle in his eye and to believe that anything is possible.
May your positive outlook carry you through to renewed good health and strength. Wish I had some comic books to send your way. I love you, brother dear.

What a wonderful surprise, but I'm not surprised considering the family we have. This is truly a spectacular event in my life and where it will lead from here is hard to say but I have discovered the possibility that women do have a lot more power than men. When Mary Lynn cradled my head in her hands and said,"Steve, don't leave me," I knew this was a force not to mess with. Thanks to everyone for the love and prayers STEVE

It's very possible that a number of total strangers are thriving on the food that you give to your livestock or pets. These "freeloaders" may take many forms, but they usually resemble white worms and could be either several feet in length or microscopically small.
I'm talking, of course, about internal parasites. If your feed bills have been rising while the general health and productivity of your animals have been slipping, these pests are probably already well established around your farm or home.
Internal parasites (commonly called worms) occur in every part of the world, and each living creature (yes, even humans) has its own particular worms. Worse yet, since these parasites live (usually) in an animal's belly or intestines, you may not even know that your beasts are infested with 'em! Of course, animals with severe worm problems will display some of the classic symptoms—such as weight loss, poor growth, low milk yields, weakness, or white gums—but a critter can have parasites without showing such drastic signs. For example, a recent experiment conducted on healthy-looking goats showed that milk production was increased by 17% after one dose of an effective worm medicine!
The Problem With Parasites
Before you can even begin a parasite elimination program, though, you'll have to realize that you are faced with more than one form of pest. You see, most worms have several stages in their life cycles. In order to completely eradicate the freeloaders, you have to attack each of those Individual stages separately.
In order to explain this difficulty, let's look at the life cycle of the common parasite, Haemonchus. The adult worm thrives in the stomachs of sheep and goats, and there, in its hiding place, the parasite lays tough-skinned eggs. These are then passed In the host animal's feces (manure) and deposited in pastures, where they can lie for years unaffected by freezing cold or intense heat just waiting for another animal to come along and pick them up.
So, the first problem that confronts the "do it yourself" parasite controller is that worm eggs can be almost anywhere and are nearly impossible to destroy.
But, let's continue with our "sample" parasite. The eggs in that sheep or goat manure may, perhaps, be picked up by a small snail who happens to be munching grass in the area. Once inside the snail (which is referred to as the parasite's "intermediate host"), the egg will develop into a larva. This is the second stage in the life cycle of the Haemonchus.
The snail, however, crawls merrily around and hardly
notices the presence of the worm larva. Then along comes
your friendly lamb or kid—who isn't a particularly
fussy eater—and he or she munches on the tasty grass
and inadvertently swallows the tiny snail.
Now that the larva is back in the kind of critter that makes it happiest (in this example the sheep or goat is the final or '' definitive'' host), it will do one of several things. For instance, the larval worm may move into the animal's stomach, develop into an adult parasite, and begin passing more eggs onto your pasture. Or, for some unknown reason, the larva might decide to take a detour on the way to its host's stomach. This "side trip" is called larval migration, and—since it could take the pest through muscles, blood vessels, lungs, or liver—can be more harmful to your animal than the adult worm would be. (This is, of course, not a particularly appealing or appetizing picture of the worm's life cycle, but internal parasites aren't particularly appealing or appetizing creatures.)
On the other hand, the parasite larva may find the environment inside your critter not to its liking. When this happens, the larva will form a cocoon-like substance around itself (this is called "encysting") and can—in this form—lie dormant until a change in the internal environment causes it to emerge. Unfortunately, the environmental changes that make life easier for the encysted larva can further compound your parasite problems. When your ewe or doe gets pregnant—for example—its internal environment may change enough to cause the parasite to emerge from its cyst and begin another migration. If this happens, the traveling larva might find its way directly into the unborn offspring or into the mother's milk ... which explains why many animals are infested with parasites at birth.
This example should convince you that worms are pretty difficult to eliminate. You could, for instance, try to get rid of all the eggs, but unless you're capable of (and interested in) picking up every little black sheep or goat nugget in your pasture, this will be a nearly impossible task.
Or, of course, you can try to kill the adult parasites by giving your beast the proper medication, but the medicine that will destroy the adults usually will not kill the larvae. Because of this, you must administer worm medicine at least twice (once to destroy the adults and once to kill the larvae after they've become adults), and it's better still to administer wormers periodically throughout the host critter's lifetime.
Some General Recommendations
There is, however, no need to throw your hands up in despair. You can do many things to ease your animals' parasite problems. Fortunately, a number of these preventive measures are easy enough for anyone to undertake.
In the case of the sheep and goat parasite, for instance, there are several simple courses of action that could help break the egg-larva-adult life cycle.
You could, perhaps, allow your animals to use a large pasture rather than cramping them together in a small pen. This would insure that the critters had less exposure to their own manure and would also lessen the chance that any wandering snails (or other intermediate hosts) would pick up parasite eggs. Also, if the pasture is thick and lush, your beasts are less likely to gulp down one of those snails because the little shelled critters like to stay hidden in moist places beneath the grass cover.
And, of course, you'll want to keep your animals' "living quarters"—whether these are in the barn or shed—scrupulously clean. Daily manure removal is a must with most farm beasts ... and don't forget that the manure is "organic gold" for your compost pile. Remember, too, that many worm eggs won't attain their effective stage until after they've matured on the ground for a few days, so—by consistently removing the animal droppings—you can actually break the parasite's life cycle! (The rule around the Kidd house is: "If a stall isn't clean enough to sit down in, it's time to get the pitchfork out." This attitude has helped us keep our worm—and rusty pitchfork—problems to a minimum!)
If you have two or more pasture areas, it's wise to rotate your grazing livestock so the animals will only be pastured on a particular piece of land every two (or, better yet, three) years. This pasture rotation gives Mother Nature a chance to help you eliminate your parasites by either covering the eggs with dirt or killing them—over a period of time—with sun and frost. Also, the majority of the snails, etc. that might have ingested a larva will have disappeared after a span of a year or two.
As you can see, simple good husbandry can go a long way toward breaking the life cycles of most parasites. And you have another ally in your fight against worms, too: the natural resistance to parasites that your animals can develop. A beast's ability to resist parasitic infestation can be compared to your ability to "throw off" a cold. While you'll likely never completely avoid colds, your body may—as you grow older—become less and less susceptible to these minor illnesses. So it is, too, with animals and their parasites. As the beast matures, it becomes at least partially resistant to some worms.
But—just as our resistance to the common cold can be lowered if we become "run down" or exposed to unhealthy environmental conditions—a weary, unsheltered, or poorly fed animal will be much less likely to develop an immunity to parasites.
Do Your Animals Have Parasites?
At this point you're probably scratching your head and wondering if your beasts might, indeed, have parasites. Unfortunately, there's no way for you to tell by looking at the animals. A dog who eats grass may have worms, or he or she might just like eating grass. A goat who chews on the manger may carry parasites, too, or perhaps be simply bored. Unless animals are heavily infested, they won't likely show the classic "symptoms." The beasts may just not be as "vital" as they would be if they were completely healthy.
Most worms that could infect your pets or barnyard beasts are far too tiny to be detected with the naked eye. The tapeworm, however, is the exception to this rule. If you notice small, white, worm-like things crawling around in fresh manure (or small, white, dried-up objects that resemble rice grains) chances are that your critter has tapeworms. The "ricey" looking objects are actually segments, or proglottids, of what may be a very long parasite. Each of these sections is a "packet" that contains many tapeworm eggs.
The only way to discover whether or not your critters have the smaller worms, though (or to tell which kinds of worms they're harboring), is to have your vet check the animals out. To do this, the veterinarian will mix a sample of the beasts' manure in a special solution that causes fecal matter to sink and parasite eggs to float to the top. By examining these eggs under a microscope, the vet will be able to tell what kinds of worms are present and can then determine the best methods to control the pests. (Having a fecal sample analyzed for parasite eggs shouldn't run you more than a few dollars; unchecked worms could cost you more than that in no time!)
All you have to do to prepare for one of these tests is collect a sample of fresh manure—a lump about half the size of a horse chestnut will do—and whisk it off to your vet. You will, of course, need a separate example for each kind of animal that you have, but if you keep a number of one kind of critter in one area you'll only need a single sampling because all of the sheep, cows, etc. In that pasture or barn will probably be hosting the same parasites.
Remember that the samples (you can carry 'em in an old baby food jar or the like if your vet doesn't provide a container) should be fresh. If the manure sits for too long, the eggs may hatch into larvae; these won't necessarily be found by a vet who's looking for eggs. Tapeworm segments won't show up in a flotation test, either. But, of course, you'll be able to spot those worm "indicators" yourself.
If, for some reason, you have to wait a day or two between the time that you collect the samples and your trip to the vet, put the manure (safely sealed in its jar, of course) in the refrigerator. When kept cool in this way, the samples will be "good" indefinitely.
Once you and your vet have determined what kind of parasites (if any) your animals have, you can decide what sort of worm medicine will most effectively eliminate the pests.
Worm Medicines (Anthelmintics)
There are several things to consider before you choose the kind of wormer (these medicines are called anthelmintics: anti = against, helmins = worm) you want to use.
The anthelmintic that you select (with your veterinarian's help) should, of course, kill the particular worms that your critter has without harming the host animal. Piperazine, for example, is an anthelmintic that is used in a number of worm preparations, and it's an extremely safe medication for almost all critters. However, while piperazine is effective against round-worms, it will kill few—if any—hook-worms, tapeworms, or whipworms.
So, ideally, the medication that you administer should be highly effective against many kinds of worms. Several recent anthelmintics have been developed that can destroy a variety of parasites, and some of 'em will kill nearly all of the worms that are commonly found in critters. These medicines are the broad-spectrum anthelmintics.
And, since these broad-spectrum anthelmintics allow you to use one medication for almost all of your parasite problems (some of 'em even destroy migrating parasitic larvae!), they can really simplify a do-it-yourself worm elimination program.
Finally, the anthelmintic you choose should be both economical and easy to administer. Most of the newer worm medications come either in powder or granular forms (which can be sprinkled on feed) or in a paste or liquid (that can be squirted directly into the animal's mouth).
Remember, though, that any anthelmintic should be administered in the prescribed manner. In many cases wormers should be used at a particular time of year. Anthelmintics for bots (a horse parasite), for example, should—in most parts of the U.S.—be given at least once after the first frost. There also seems to be a seasonal increase in the release of parasite eggs, so your control program had best include a treatment that correlates with this stepped-up egg "production."
And, of course, there are certain specific precautions that should be taken when using anthelmintics. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS:
Caution No. 1: Know what you're doing! Before using an anthelmintic (or any type of medication), read the directions on the label ... and then reread them until you understand everything that they recommend!
Caution No. 2: Use the correct dosage . Anthelmintics are meant to eliminate parasites without harming the host animal. Overdoses of wormers can make an animal sick, or even kill the beast. Do not assume that a double dose of worm medicine will be twice as effective as the recommended quantity. Overdosing is an often fatal mistake.
And, since many of these medicines are administered according to the "patient's" weight, be sure that you know how much your critter weighs or that you at least have a knowledgeable person do the estimating for you. (Sale barns or county fairs are good places to learn weight estimation since the animals are all weighed before the sale or show.)
Caution No. 3: Be extremely careful when using anthelmintics on sick animals, young animals, pregnant animals, or lactating animals (critters giving milk). It is always potentially dangerous to give any medicine to a sick animal, and anthelmintics are no exception to the rule. The same warning applies to young beasts, too, and some worm remedies should never be used until a critter reaches a prescribed age.
Pregnant animals should only be medicated under a vet's supervision. Some of the older wormers acted by increasing the muscle activity of the intestines in order to shake the worms loose and flush them out. This kind of medication could also cause muscular activity in the uterus (or womb), resulting in an aborted offspring.
Finally, almost all medicines given to a milking animal will be passed into the milk, and—again—anthelmintics will follow this pattern. Of course, the quantity of medication that is passed into the milk—and the length of time during which it will show up—varies from one drug to another.
Dairy farmers refer to the time period during which a
medicine can be detected in milk as the "withdrawal time"
for that medication. No milk should be used for human
consumption during this withdrawal time, although some
of it may be safe for animal use. There is also evidence
that several wormers will cause a milking cow or goat to
dry up (quit producing milk).
When you're in doubt about using a particular anthelmintic on any sick, young, pregnant, or lactating animal, always consult your vet before administering the medication.
In Conclusion ...
If you've been listening closely up to this point, you're probably anxious to begin your own worm elimination program. So, let's take a look at Dr. Kidd's Famous Five Point Parasite Control Course (well ... maybe someday it'll be famous).
POINT 1: There is a wealth of wisdom in keeping your critters healthy. Give your animals all of the aid you can in their battles against internal parasites. This help should include a wholesome diet, a fresh water supply, clean and adequate shelter and bedding, and—once in a while—a little bit of affection to keep the critters content. A healthy, happy animal is much more likely to be able to develop its own resistance to internal parasites.
POINT 2: Graze your grass graciously. If possible, rotate your animals annually to a completely fresh pasture (that is, a piece of land that hasn't had beasts on it for at least a year). A three-year pasture rotation, of course, would be even better. (Remember, too, that adequate pasture space helps avoid dense accumulations of potentially egg-bearing manure.)
POINT 3: Manage your manure . Animals that are confined in pens, sheds, stalls, or kennels should have their manure removed daily. In addition, the barnyard or feedlot should be cleaned periodically.
(No parasite control program is complete UNTIL you practice—religiously—these first three points!)
POINT 4: Pickle those parasites with the proper parasiticide. Identify the parasites that are infecting your animals, and then attack the squirmy villains with the best ammunition that you have: consistent and routine use of an effective anthelmintic.
POINT 5: Analyse your efforts. Always have your vet run fecal checks at least once a year. These tests should be performed at a time two to three months after you last administered worm medication. Since the maximum effectiveness of most anthelmintics only lasts for 60 to 80 days, this delay will allow your animals to show signs of any new parasites the critters might have picked up in your pasture.
You may never be able to completely eliminate parasites from your animals, but don't let this fact discourage you. The main aim of parasite control is to keep the levels of infestation as low as possible.
Of course, the alternative to parasite control is—in most cases—letting the worms take over. If you allow this to happen, you could end up feeding more food to your parasites than you do to your pets or barnyard animals!

What a week!
Started off with a 10boss slaughter on wednesday netting us a 2nd kill for the later bosses proving we know what we were doing with them,
then onto thursday where we decided to run normal again instead of flex, and BAM, Thok dies too! it took a short while and a few tactic changes and alteration of positioning, but when he died it was pretty smooth. This led us onto Siegecrafter Black fuse... Which was carnage but we got an understanding of what was going on.
Next for our schedule was Sunday... Starting with only 9 people on Blackfuse we gave it a few tries and it started coming together, then Chvi logs on as promised and a bit later a new guild First. Which takes us to the 9boss triplets of Paragons of the Klaxxi... It all started of well and as we worked out what each boss did it suddenyl became harder. - Turns out those healing bloods which are top priority can be ignored because we are that good :p Roll on 11pm (Real time :p) and we wiped at about 30% due to a mindcontrol of Tom. -
Its now 11.10pm.. One last Try??
Reluctantly we all agreed, but it was well worth it! With a beautifully clean kill, The Dottagers are now 13/14.
with an impromptu Garrosh raid set up for tonight we'll see if we can get a full clear and start fresh with a Hc or two next week!
So, we Tried Garrosh tonight, almost every pull we made progress and very nearly made it to the P3 zerg
For a first night of learning the end game boss, I think we did bloody well to get to 20% in p2.
bare in mind P1 is 100%-0, P2 100%-10% P3 30%-0.
with a little practice and maybe some talent alterations, we should be able to deal with the empowered whirlthingies and kill this Orc.
Next week will be back to Normal Wed, Flex Thurs and Normal Sun, (sign ups dependant)
Only Difference being that on Wed we shall use a Dark Shamans lockout to get a 6 Boss head start on the week to try and get back to garrosh for sunday (or sooner...)

You may be wondering what is going on around here. If so, take a look around! (Might as well take a look around, because this place is the last place you'll EVER see, Bwahahahaha!) If the latter is not so, consider counseling (Oh, wait, you can't, because you're trapped! *laughs*) If you haven't already noticed, I have placed a small, but powerful bomb inside this very article! It is set to go off in exactly 10 minutes! Trying to escape is useless, as I have closed off every possible escape route. Trust me, I have planned this for months, so don't think I would leave one loophole here. Cherish these last remaining moments of your life, before everything goes boom and your life fades into the deepest depths of oblivion for all eternity! This shall be your fate, which, I should mention, can not be changed. Think of it like a computer running Windows 95. It works for a while, and then dies a horrible death when you try to run Crysis, or some other fancy-schmancy software that pleases the eye. If you thought that metaphor was bad, then you should have seen what my teachers used to pull out of their asses, too bad you can't though, because I'll have to pull you out of this situation and delay your death, which will be happening shortly! (In about 9 minutes to be exact.) We wouldn't want that to happen, would we now? *chuckles*
Why have I decided to kill you? Edit
An interesting question indeed. Why would I decide to mercilessly end your life all of a sudden? Surely I wouldn't murder you without reason. It just doesn't work that way, does it? (Or does it?) Anyhow, the reason I have decided to commit homicide... is not important. I do what I want, I pick my goals and stick to them. *laughs* I am my own man. I know this totally contradicts what I just said, but I have to have something to do, or I would surely die of boredom. (I'm surprised you haven't done so yet from reading this corny letter of all corny letters.) Now that that's out of the way, I would like to tell you something more, to help you feel better... (By the way, you currently have about 7 and a half minutes left, Ha Ha Ha!.) So, are you ready to DIE?
I would try not to think about it Edit
Right now, you're probably huddled up in the corner, hopelessly watching the time. That's right, stay there. Panicking won't help nothing, so don't shit yourself just yet, you probably still have about 7 minutes of your lifetime left, anyways. This will be less scary for you if you just try not to worry. I know what you're going through, I have been through quite a few hopeless situations like the one you're in right now. Just try not to think about it. Imagine, you're on the beach, with hot nude chicks (or dudes) surrounding you. Hentai Addict? Make those sexy Anime Catgirls... That's a pleasant thought, isn't it. (Oh yeah... it sure is for me!) Surely, if you keep thinking nice, positive thoughts, you might forget about your sudden death until... it happens. If you choose to do so, I'd recommend you stop reading this depressing note now. Don't worry, you still have 6 minutes left. No worries, less than half of your final moments have passed. Hey wait, why am I trying to help You? I'm your killer, so I'm supposed to be against you. Bwahahahaha!
Still there, Eh? Edit
If you're still reading this because you're so emo that there's nothing good to think about, think of it this way, you're getting what you've always wanted during your misery, death. That's... sort of a pleasing thought, is it not? If not, then nevermind, I guess nothing can cheer you up in your last 5 minutes of life, emo boy. Look forward to nothing but despair and gloom, Mr. Negativity! I guess nothing but woes, doom, and gloom can pass the most inner barriers of your Mind and Spirit! Don't worry, I have enclosed a knife so you can live your favorite pasttime, slitting your wrist, once more before your ultimate demise. You can also choose to end your life and knife yourself if you want, But hurry, as only 4 minutes remain of your precious (Or, in your case, not so precious) lifetime! You and I both know that there is absolutely no chance to survive, so make your time, before the bomb I set up you explodes.
3 Minutes Left Edit
If you have read this far without committing suicide, about now would be the time to stop reading and say your final prayers to your God or whatever, and repent all bad deeds before it's too late. The time is ticking, only 2 minutes and 45 seconds are left. If you're a confident atheist, feel free to stay here and await your unpleasant death without hope or regret. Just don't blame me if you find yourself in a pit of fiery tortures, being gang-raped by demonic figures resembling Micheal Jackson! I am not 100% sure that will happen, but as I, myself, am a Christian, that's what I can assume. But hey, if God exists, maybe he isn't so strict, and will let you into his happy realm, if you're really lucky. Or, maybe you'll be reincarnated into a flower or something. For all we know, the Flying Spaghetti Monster could be watching our every moves.
2 Minutes Left Edit
Well, it's definitely too late to repent, <insert name here>, so abandon all hope right now. There is absolutely no way I will free you from this nightmarish situation, so enjoy these last 2 minutes while you can. If you want, you can think positively as I had suggested earlier, maybe this is all a bizarre dream. Yes, a dream. You can try pinching yourself, although that will do nothing but leave a painful mark, because this is all real. Of course, that mark will not be nearly as painful as what will be happening in a mere 1 and a half minutes. Look on the bright side, you will never have to worry about any wars or whatnot anymore, because you'll be too preoccupied with rotting away in your grave. If you want nothing but despair, I would very strongly advise you not to read the section below. If you do, your soul will likely be so frightened that it will jump out of your body. Then again, when the bomb goes off, your soul will probably do so anyways, so go ahead, read onto the last passage before your final journey begins!
1 Minute Left Edit
You know what, I am actually starting to feel very, very sorry for you. *sheds tear* I just can't think of anything that will make you calm anymore. It seems nothing can, as you are still reading this dreadful note of mine. I feel sympathy for you, unlike I did when I started writing this note. You sure have a lot of balls to read this far without going insane and committing suicide. I appreciate your patience, I consider it a virtue. I really do, in fact, I will be there to mourn your grave when you die, maybe I'll even... turn myself into the police...

Pan de Los Muertos
Pan de Los Muertos, translated to Bread of the Dead, is a butter-and-egg-rich sweet yeast bread, traditionally baked in Mexico for Las Dias de Los Muertos, November 1st and 2nd. The living honor the dead at home, in the streets, and at the cemeteries.
This bread is placed at an altar in the home, then carried to the cemetery to 'share' with passed loved ones.
Online research came up with many very similar recipes. Here is mine:
125g ap flour
25g sugar
100g water, brought to a boil with 1 tablespoon anise seed, steeped for 10 minutes and strained
2 tsp active dry yeast
Mix well, let rise til ripe, 1 1/2-2 hours.
325g ap flour
56g butter, softened
35g sugar
1 egg + 2 yolks
1 tbsp orange flower water and/or zest from 1 large orange
1/2 tsp salt

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas wants to build a museum dedicated to visual storytelling in San Francisco's Presidio that would house an art collection he amassed over four decades.
The Marin filmmaker says he has long sought to showcase his collection of 150 years of populist art, which includes illustrations by Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish along with comics and digital technology.
Lucas, of San Anselmo, says he doesn't have enough wall space at his 6,000-acre Skywalker Ranch in Lucas Valley, north of San Rafael, so he wants to fund and build a museum.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday that Lucas submitted a 20-page proposal to the Presidio Trust last week. It was one of 16 bids to occupy the former commissary site at Crissy Field.
In December, Disney acquired Lucasfilm Ltd., which is already housed in the Presidio.

In response to the carte de visite that I posted yesterday, Diana Burns sent me this most appropriate rejoinder, which she secretly hopes is her 3x-great-grandfather Daniel Talbot (1797-1871).
The things I have noticed are his thread-bare right trouser knee (apparently on one side only - why?); the photographer's use of the head support, which surprised me as he is seated, and his ferocious expression (grandmothers are not the only ones who can be forbidding!) The lower part of his walking stick is oddly serrated ... I believe the sitter's style of beard and frock-coat date also to the 1860s, but he does not strike me as a style icon!Diana is right that this is a typical 1860s photograph. The full length seated portait with a studio setting consisting of patterned carpet, painted backdrop, curtain, plain wall, moulded skirting board, side table with tablecloth and basket of flowers, and chair with turned legs are what one would see in most studios in the larger English towns by the mid-1860s.
This man looks to me to be at least in his sixties, perhaps even early seventies. He is dressed, I think, in a frock coat with matching waistcoat and trousers, and possibly a bow tie, although his white chin beard is in the way. A watch chain is visible, and he is holding a walking stick, apparently carved with something twined around it, at least on the lower section.
Regarding the damaged right trouser knee, it's difficult to be sure without a more detailed scan whether this is on the original, or if the print has suffered some abrasion. It is tempting to think that he might have fallen over on the way to the studio - hence his grumpy countenance. His left arm is resting on the side table in a slightly uncomfortable looking, perhaps to steady it!
The base of the neck support (also known as a head clamp) which is just visible between the legs of the chair, together with the rather uncomfortable-looking angle at which he's holding his head, suggests that his head needed steadying too. While a head support is perhaps less frequently observed in portrais taken in the late 1860s than in the early 1860s, it would not be too unusual to have one available in the studio. I note, too, that both of his hands are clenched fairly tightly. One could theorise, therefore, that the subject might have been suffering from a nervous system ailment, perhaps just due to old age, resulting in tremors which were difficult to control.
Edwin Isaac Baker started work in the 1860s and I suspect the glued-on label on the reverse shows that this was an early photo.
According to David Simkin's detailed biography of Edwin Isaac Baker, he started operating a photographic studio from the premises of his booksellers and stationery business in Hailsham's High Street around 1868. David includes an example of an early carte de visite by Baker from c.1869, using a pre-printed mount rather than a plain mount with an affixed label. This portrait has an almost identical studio setting as Diana's CDV - all that is missing are the side table, tablecloth and flower basket.
The use of the printed label pasted on plain white card may indeed suggest an early example of his work, before he had built up enough of a reputation and clientele to warrant the slightly higher prices of printed card stock. The misprint of his second initial as "J" instead of "I" also suggests it may have been done on the cheap. Indeed the label is almost reminiscent of a book plate. Another example of a pasted label can be seen in my profile of the early Bradwell (Derbyshire) photographer Joshua Evans. Diana has more cartes de visite by E.I. Baker in her family collection, including the portrait of a different, but also unidentified, man - shown above - in the same studio setting, but now using printed card stock.
So if the portrait of the older man was taken in 1868 or 1869, and I estimate that he was perhaps between 63 and 73 years old, this would imply a birth date of c.1795-1806. Diana's ancestor Daniel Talbot was born in 1797 and the portrait could therefore well depict him. However, I would be looking for further information to corroborate this theory. For example, where was he living at the time this photograph was taken? If he wasn't living in Hailsham, what could have been a plausible reason for his visiting the town? Are there other photographs in the family collection depicting Daniel Talbot, and do they show the same man? Can any of other E.I. Baker CDVs in the collection be identified, and can they be related in some way to this one? As with all good genealogical enquiries, approaching the problem from as many different angles as you can think of gives you a much greater chance of success.
As an aside, I wonder if the scene depicted in the backdrop might be recognisable to those familiar with the geography of the country around Hailsham. Painted backdrops did sometimes portray real scenes, and this one could well be of a local view. It appears to show a river crossed by a high bridge or viaduct. A search on Geograph for bridges within 10 kilometres of Hailsham produced a wealth of photographs, but a quick browse failed to turn up any showing suitable candidates. It would be nice to hear from anyone who can identify the bridge or scene.

But the major challenge for Japan, and increasingly for western countries, is ageing populations. Japan is ahead of the West in this regard with nearly a quarter of its 128 million citizens over the age of 65 and by 2060 that is forecast to rise to 40% with the population shrinking to 87 million people. No doubt this is one reason why Japan leads the world in automation and robotics as it tries to replace its shrinking workforce – the country's preferred alternative to immigration.
Older people and especially retirees tend to spend less than their younger counterparts. Accounting for the fact that household consumption makes up 60% of Japan's GDP and it is clear that exports are the only real short- to medium-term driver left for boosting its economy. The problem with an exporting strategy is that nearly all developed countries face demographic decline including China, Russia and even South Korea and Taiwan. It is a situation unprecedented in human history.
It is highly unlikely that another spending spree on infrastructure projects and more money creation is going to compensate for, let alone reverse, the structural decline in household consumption in Japan and other countries. The risk is that if Japan were to succeed in stimulating inflation it may actually slow its economy even more if consumers see their spending power eroded.
History suggests that global currency wars end badly and with good reason as they are a zero sum game. The one in the 1930s led to trade protectionism and made the great depression worse and the second one during the 1960-1980s helped fuel bursts of high inflation in the 1970s.
The aftermath of a severe banking crisis and the growth-draining nature of demographic decline sets the perfect conditions for currency wars and beggar thy neighbour policies. Until those influences are more clearly acknowledged by policy makers the temptation for currency devaluations will persist.

I love the glitter on this: the mix of blues is really gorgeous. Still, since I can't leave anything alone, I whacked a crackle over the top. I loved the result and had a lot of compliments at work.
Like this? Click below to let us know!
I love the way the sparkly glitter peeks through the cracks. Very pretty. I love that color blue. I still love crackle finishes even though no one ever does them any more they still have a place in nail art.
I love this, it's so pretty, Last Friday Night is probably my favorite ever.
Fashion and Happy Things
This is such a pretty mani! I agree with both the other commenters- LFN is an all time favorite polish, and I still like crackle sometimes. :)
Agreed, last friday night is so gorgeous!

The casino compact between the state and the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe identifies more than 100 acres of Silver City Galleria mall property as being part of the approved site for the proposed tribal casino, although the tribe says it has no agreement in place to purchase the parcels.
The casino compact between the state and the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe identifies more than 100 acres of Silver City Galleria mall property as being part of the approved site for the proposed tribal casino, although the tribe says it has no agreement in place to purchase the parcels.
The tribe remains focused on building a casino on land it has under option in Liberty & Union Industrial Park and would inform the city if its plans were to change, a spokeswoman for the Mashpee said Thursday.
C-III Capital Partners, the group that owns the mall, declined comment.
The inclusion of the mall property in the compact suggests that if the tribe were to acquire the Galleria as a part of future plans, the property would be subject to the terms of the compact. Taunton officials said they were unaware of any purchase agreement regarding the Galleria.
Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr., who supports the tribal casino proposal, said he didn't find out the Galleria land was identified in the compact until he saw it in the document.
"We're working on a resolution," he said, adding that he met Thursday with Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Chairman Cedric Cromwell. "My only concern is protecting the city of Taunton's interests."
The 146 acres of land previously identified as part of the tribe's proposed casino project are located in and around Liberty & Union Industrial Park, which sits across Route 140 from the mall. The Liberty & Union parcels, which still remain listed as part of the proposed casino site, are connected to the Galleria property by the Stevens Street overpass.
The tribe reportedly pursued an agreement to purchase the Galleria last year, but was unable to make a deal.
An expansion of the proposed casino site to include the Silver City Galleria property would comply with the language of the ballot question that Taunton voters approved last year in a citywide referendum.
The language of the ballot question was as follows: "Shall the City of Taunton, pursuant to Section 91 of Chapter 194 of the Acts of 2011, approve the operation of a tribal gaming establishment proposed by the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to be located east of Route 24 in the immediate vicinity of the intersection of Route 24 and Route 140?"
Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan, whose city once pursued a casino deal with the Mashpee, is a vocal critic of a provision in the state law that gives the Mashpee an exclusive window to establish a tribal casino without commercial competition in the area.
He believes the inclusion of the Silver City Galleria property in the compact raises questions over the validity of the vote in Taunton.
"When the people went to the voting booth, did they know that was the site?" Flanagan questioned. "If they knew that was the site, would their vote change?"
The Silver City Galleria, which has roughly two-dozen vacancies, was acquired in December 2011 by Texas-based C-III Capital Partners. The mall's previous owner, General Growth Properties, had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and eventually emerged, selling off the Galleria in the process.
Compared to Liberty & Union Industrial Park, the Silver City Galleria is farther away from residential neighborhoods and East Taunton Elementary School. It also has the existing infrastructure to accommodate large numbers of people and cars.

Pear wood drying equipment
An overview of the
Tunnel type wood microwave drying machine is a new technology, widely used in wood, furniture, wood flooring, plywood, particle board, and other industries of wood drying.Because in the conventional drying, due to out of shape, craze, mildew and other causes a large amount of waste;And microwave drying machine has uniform heating, fast drying speed, contorts, cracking, moth-proofing mouldproof, products of good quality and is conducive to continuous and automatic production and a series of advantages.Wood microwave drying characteristics of different heat is not the incoming object appearance, but the microwave through the material inside is absorbed moisture and lumber itself contains direct heating.Due to the material's surface water evaporation, therefore, the internal temperature of the material above the surface.Make the outward pressure difference is formed within the material, speed up the surface of the water migration.microwave drying of wood is wet wood as the dielectric, under the role of microwave electromagnetic field, cause the polarization of wet wood water molecules, due to the frequent alternating electromagnetic field, cause water molecules to strenuous exercise, friction heat, making the wood drying.Microwave on the drying of wood internal direct action, is called a "hot"."Heating" need time and the thickness of the wood, and microwave frequency and intensity of electric field, and the dielectric properties of the wood.Effect of microwave timber, when the internal temperature higher than 100 °C, excessive water vapor pressure in the wood, accelerate the mobile water molecules.So the speed of microwave drying of wood is greatly higher than that of convection drying (natural drying, steam drying, infrared drying, etc.).With microwave drying is generally selected wood microwave frequency is 915 MHZ, 80mm penetration depth of microwave, the microwave frequency is 2450 MHZ, 50 mm penetration depth, therefore can meet the general processed to complete the finished product.For the requirement of the drying and the size of the output of different, can choose different forms of microwave drying equipment;For various properties of wood to select suitable microwave heating speed, the best process conditions, can get the best benefit.
the characteristics of
1, quick drying speed, high efficiency.According to the data show that 25 ~ 50mm pine wood drying speed is faster than common convection drying speed 20-30 times.Lumber moisture content from 30% to 12%, need to 15 to 25 minutes.
2, uniform drying wood, not deformation, not cracking.Wood by microwave and internal and external parts, even heating, so the wood treated by microwave, uniform drying thoroughly, improve product quality, the surface will not harden, improve the toughness, not cracking, deformation, discoloration, adjustable bending, etc.
3, moth-proofing, mouldproof, prolong shelf life.microwave drying wood, can penetrate inside the wood, the use of timber in the parasitic eggs soon kill, moth-proofing, mouldproof, prolong shelf life.
4, high efficiency and energy saving.With far infrared ray and steam energy in wood drying, its energy utilization rate of less than 50%, but with microwave energy utilization rate can reach more than 75%, more than 25% lower than the far infrared and the energy consumption of steam drying.
5, easy to operate, save manpower.By using the principle of microwave can be instantly switch, easy operation, convenient management, reduce labor intensity, saving manpower.
6, safety and health, environmental protection.Microwave processing of wood no noise, no pollution, more won't produce the problem of "three wastes".

Rehansan needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 78 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
The Social Welfare History Project
The Social Welfare History project was started a decade ago to identify, collect, and tell the stories of American efforts to promote the well-being of its people. The rich and vibrant complexity of institutions and programs that make up the American social welfare landscape have had and continue to have profound effects on the lives of all Americans and we want to tell that story.
You can think of the site/program as a unique history archives. We have a network of scholars in many different fields that contribute unique historical articles, stories, experiences, photos and documents that are not found anywhere else in the world.
The site is undergoing a complete face lift, with the logo being the cornerstone of the transformation.
Half of our audience are people interested in learning specifics about social welfare: someone doing research for a paper or exploring facts about an organization. The site also serves as a learning and discovery tool for people who might not be aware of the impact of these programs and institutions have: someone looking into becoming a social worker or simply someone interested in the history of America.
We need a logo to represent what we are preserving... this history of American Social Welfare. We want something clean, crisp and cool.
While the good ol' red white and blue can be used, we would like the logo to be a bit more creative and not rely on the colors to express what we're doing. No waving flags with "SWHP" on it!
Another cliche we want to try to avoid is an open book with a quill pen or something a long those lines.... we want something awesomely creative!
Our old website (http://www.socialwelfarehistory.org) is old and horrendous... so if you want examples of what we do not want it to look like, look there!
Again, we are completely rebuilding the site based mainly around the logo so give us something good!
Thanks, and good luck!
