Not one of us could imagine what was happening. News of a war between Poland and Germany had not yet reached us. With great anxiety, we gathered around the radio, waiting for news. At noon, we finally heard that Germany had declared war on Poland.
The government immediately set about the mobilization of the army reserves. I remember the Polish soldiers boasting, as they sat in the buses, and proclaiming with great assurance that We will not allow even one button to be cut from our uniforms. That bravado was a sad and tragic daydream. Even before they could reach their bases, the German planes strafed them. The Polish army suffered grievous losses.
Already we were feeling the effect in town. Hunger was mounting as all the stores were closed. The ovens of the baker were cold and there was no bread. No food was available anywhere to alleviate the hunger. We foraged around but all we could find was dead, spoiled fish. From where did this abundance of dead fish arrive? The German bombs had fallen on the river and nearby targets. The fish were forced onto the banks where they were gathered by Poles into large baskets. That was the available nourishment.
German parachutists dressed in civilian clothes were dropped over Ciechanowiec. The Polish government ordered that any unknown people be handed over to the police. Very quickly, the jails on Malzer Street were filled with the Germans. The radio kept informing us that the Germans were pressing ahead and were coming closer and closer to Ciechanowiec. Many Jewish people left town. The first to go were the members of the auto corporation because they had the facilities. Their business circulated automobiles to Czyzewo, Brainsk, Semiaticzi, and Bielsk-Podlaski. And so Velvel Kagan, Avraham Gavronietz, Yitzhak Kolsky, Chono Kuropatwa, and Ziske Neiman and their families were able to leave. Fleeing with them were Yudel Elkes, Isaac and Avraham Grodzinski, Yeshaya (Shaika) and Chava Zlotolow, Mendel and David Soloveitchik and their cousin Leibel. They took whatever victuals they could and went as far as Nesvizh.
This sad turn of events continued until September 8th when we heard that the Germans had captured Zambrow and were approaching Czyzewo. In the evening we saw the long light beams of searchlights. The Germans had come within three kilometers of Ciechanowiec. The lights were mounted on the German tanks. We were very frightened and instinctively broke out in a terrible cry. We knew that the German soldiers would be in Ciechanowiec at any moment. The streets suddenly were emptied of people. Everyone tried to run and hide in the houses. The town took on the appearance of a cemetery. With pounding hearts we listened to the noise of the attacking German tanks.
In the light of the next morning we could see the enormous, gruesome strength of the German forces. Immediately, they demonstrated that strength. They broke down the doors of Jewish stores and robbed everything they could. A platoon of their soldiers entered the synagogue and forced many Jewish men into trucks until they were filled. They were then taken to the New City where they saw a ghastly sight. The Polish soldiers who were stationed in nearby Nur had put up a strong fight in the battle for Czyzewo. They fought to the death. Now their bodies were strewn about amidst their dead horses. The Jews were forced to take away the dead carcasses and bury them near Marashewski's palace.
The German army proceeded to march eastward towards Brest-Litovsk (Brisk). They had with them vast quantities of arms confiscated from Czechoslovakia's armaments industry. They were very smug and sure of themselves riding through Ciechanowiec on their conquering path. So while in our town, they thought to have a little fun at the expense of the Jews. One of them jumped off a tank and with scissors in hand ran over to Gershon Yach the baker. Grabbing him, he snipped off Gershon's beard, leaving only two small points. All the German soldiers thought it great entertainment and laughed heartily.
While all this was taking place, the Germans and Russians had signed their pact which divided up Poland. The Bug River served as the border between their two zones. According to the agreement, Ciechanowiec fell into the Russian zone. The German army left town and not one trace of their military forces remained. But there was no money anywhere - no German money, no Polish money, and no Russian money. The Germans had a temporary office in the house of the dentist Lewin. It became her duty to turn over the administration of the town to the Russian government, who were to arrive any day.
For three days Ciechanowiec was without any government. Before leaving, the German officers had called a meeting of the Polish leaders. Orders were given that every street should choose some watchmen to prevent banditry, robbery, and murder. On the very next day after the Germans evacuated, you could see the Jewish communists appearing openly in public. They had been imprisoned by the Polish government in Warsaw and were now set free by the terms of the German-Russian pact. Those who arrived from prison were Moshe Elkes, Yitzhak Aryeh Lin, and Kristal. They were very happy about their freedom and the coming communist government. They made a big holiday and built a triumphal gate that reached from Alter Lubavitcher's house until Lipe Rubinstein's on the corner of Maltzer and Kowalski Streets. They decorated the Parade Tower with various adornments that glistened in the light and hung signs that said, Long live the Soviet government, and Welcome!
On the holiday of Hoshana Raba in the year 1939, the Soviet soldiers arrived in Ciechanowiec. They were a pitiful sight. They appeared exhausted and their horses were thin and tired, just skin and bones. This was the White Russian militia - poorly dressed, dirty, and hungry. They were accompanied by a large band that sat down in the middle of the market and played various Russian marches. They were polite to the people and paid for anything they took.
After a certain time had elapsed, the Russians ordered that all the stores be opened. But some of the owners had fled and the stores were operated by new people. The fabric business of Lipe Rubinstein was now under Yeltshe Bunde and Chaim Butchkevitz. The stores of Leibel Bloom and Chaim Gonshak were now run by a cooperative. The book store of Manik Bachashewski (a Pole) was converted to a fabric store.
One had to be patient and stand in long lines to obtain food or fabrics. People got in the habit of getting up in the early hours of the morning to try to be first in line. They stood for a few hours in the wind and cold in order to be able to buy some food.
Conditions for the workers improved. The Soviets ordered that all shoemakers, tailors, and carpenters should organize into cooperatives. Each craftsman had to bring his own machine into the cooperative. Those who could not bring the equipment were barred from joining the cooperative. For that reason, I wandered around idly. Finally, I became a night watchman. My job was to guard the cattle that were brought in by the Soviet government. I was the night watchman and the bookkeeper Yitzhak (Itzel) Shapiro and his son Yaacov guarded them by day.
The town was swelled by refugees from the surrounding areas. Many women who were natives, but married to men from other regions, also returned home. The Russians posted a large announcement that those wishing to return to their houses must be registered for that purpose. Even though some of those places were under German control, many registered. They had heard that the Germans wouldn't harm the Jews and it was possible to deal with them. You might even earn a livelihood.
One night about two in the morning, I heard the noise of wagons. I went out into the street and saw Jewish families being transferred to the train station. These were those who had registered for return to German territory. Rather they were being sent to Siberia, what we called White Bears. In the long run, it turned out to be a favor to them; they remained to live. Among them were natives of Ciechanowiec, men and women like Dvora Peretz, Sarah Semiatitzky, the family of Leibush Gottleib, and the Kolode family. Later, they would write that they were fairly well off in Siberia, but they missed Zeidel the baker (They don't make bread here.), Lipe Rubinstein (They have no clothing here.), and Issur Soloveitchik (They have no meat here.). They didn't really say these quotes. Listing the various people and their professions were code expressions to tell about the real conditions in Siberia.
In 1940 the Russians started to mobilize Jews, as well as Christians, for the military. On Rosh Hashanah of that year, the first group left to serve. Among them were Mottel Dmoch and Yoske Einbinder. The second group went away on Yom Kippur. In this group were Sokolowsky and David Kukes, the grandson of Yeshaya the Skiritzer. The third group left on Hoshana Raba. Included were Ezriel Lew, Simcha Kopytowsky, Yisrael Grzybek, Yaacov Kaze, and the writer of this article.
I left the town with a premonition that I would never see it again. It is my biggest regret that the feeling came true in a much more tragic way than I could ever have imagined.
[Page 596]
The new regime immediately promulgated rules which affected all of us. All private homes and assets were confiscated. Well-to-do Jewish homeowners were thrown out of their houses, but Christian homeowners were left alone. The displaced unfortunates were settled in a small street of the Old City near the edge of the New City and not far from the Volya (Circle). Stores that were confiscated were changed into large modern shops. The Reds seized the house of Chaim Reines that stood in the market. They knocked down the interior walls and made a huge store out of it. Weiner's water mill was taken over by the Russians, as was the mill belonging to Zabiela.
All the stores of the New City market were removed. The market grounds were fenced and a monument to Lenin was erected in the center. All workers were ordered to create cooperatives. Tailors like Sender Jolf and Moshele Zlotolow organized a co-op. Shoemakers organized another cooperative, and so it went. Hertzke Klode, Leibush the butcher's son-in-law, did not join the barbers' cooperative. He understood that the rule was not enforced, and he continued to operate his private barbershop in the New City. The communists saw to it that his end was very sad. Papers were filed accusing him of spying for the Polish government in exile. He was arrested and after a year-and-a-half he was executed at Zabludow, near Bialystok. His wife and children now live in Kordoni, near Haifa.
Those who were once very wealthy, such as Lipe Rubinstein, Manes Okun, Bertche Peretz, and others were forced into hard labor, building a new bridge over the Nurzec River. They were given big shovels to penetrate the hard ground.
I, together with all the doctors of Ciechanowiec, were forced to work in the newly founded emergency room of the hospital for contagious diseases. The group included Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Rubinstein, Dr. Byer, the dentists Lewin and Basha Szmiewska, and Dr. Silverblatt. I had worked in the medical institutions prior to the Russian arrival. Although qualified by experience, I didn't have a formal degree. I was offered the opportunity of going to Minsk for a year-and-a-half to finish my studies and be awarded the medical diploma.
So it came to pass that I went to Minsk. I was almost finished with my studies when the catastrophe befell us. It was the eighth of June in 1941 that I saw my wife and daughter for the last time, though I didn't know it then. None of us could imagine what awaited us. On June 22nd Hitler, may his name be erased, invaded Russian territory and I never saw my family again. My wife and daughter were annihilated at Treblinka, with all the other Jews of Ciechanowiec. My son and two others friends were in hiding but were betrayed by Poles who reported them to the Nazis. The three were shot on the spot. It took just a few days for the Germans to reach Minsk. Everyone evacuated the city as best they could. I reached Zheleznovodosk and later got to Kharkov. Then, once again I was evacuated to the border area near Ablostan. People from Kharkov, Kursk, and Voronezh were thrown together in one hospital. I worked there for seven months. On February 26, 1942 they suddenly swooped down and arrested me, accusing me of being a counter-revolutionary (according to paragraph 58, point 10). I was sentenced to ten years at forced labor, the last five years to serve without the rights of citizenship. For four months I was imprisoned in a camp at Kupyansk. I was living on a daily diet of 150 grams of hard black bread, a little salt, and two glasses of water. Three times a week they gave me some barley in water, that they called soup.
After four months, the German army approached Kupyansk. They bombed the central railroad station, which was a major depot for the region. We evacuated in the middle of the night. About 3,000 prisoners were pushed into windowless coaches and locked inside. For eleven days we traveled in unknown directions, suffering from terrible hunger pangs and from thirst. The sanitary conditions were horrendous. Many prisoners died on the way. On the twelfth day we reached Kazan, our supposed destination. I was ordered to work in the internment camp. At first, I was doing general construction work and other manual labor. They were breaking me in. My life hung by a thread. I was both swollen and dried up at the same time. My teeth started to loosen and my gums began to bleed. I was also bleeding internally and was extremely weak from loss of blood. Then I came down with rickets from malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies. People were dropping like flies and dying before my eyes.
My work was to unload carts at the airport which was six kilometers from the camp. It was my good fortune that on the way I discovered a field covered with wild sorrel, or sour grass. In our home, we used to make delicious borscht or schav from this plant which is rich in vitamin C. This was, at least, one of the medicines I needed to counter the nutritional deficiencies from which I was suffering. I picked as much of the sorrel as possible and packed it into my pockets. I chewed on it and ate as much as I could. Finally, the rickets symptoms abated and the internal bleeding stopped. My gums stopped bleeding as well. But I continued to weaken and was put into a hospital. Again, good fortune struck. The head doctor in the camp was Jewish and he took an interest in me. He listened to my story and promised to help. He kept his word. I was given the best food and attention that was available under the circumstances. My health improved and the good doctor took me to work in the hospital. My qualifications were demonstrated again and again so he turned over half the hospital to my supervision.
From that point, my situation improved markedly. I was given the official title of Doctor and worked independently for four years. After four years and seven months of detention, I awoke one morning to the good news that I was to be freed. It was September 2, 1946. Two days later I left the camp as a free citizen. I drifted and wandered for a few weeks and finally on September 28, 1946 I was able to leave the Red Paradise and step onto Polish soil.
I traveled through Bialystok where there were still about 200 Jewish souls. I heard the first news about Ciechanowiec. Walking by Lipowe Street, I recognized a priest from Ciechanowiec, a brother of Jan Bachashewski, whom I knew many years earlier. He was still a student then and I was the house physician of the Bachashewski family. The priest also recognized me and was happy to see me. We talked earnestly for about an hour while walking up and down the street. Towards the end of the conversation I mentioned that I was planning to visit Ciechanowiec. He became very serious and advised me not to go. I was shocked. Here was a town that I lived in for a quarter of a century. I was raised there with a whole generation. There was no house I was not familiar with - Jewish and Christian. I knew every inch of the countryside to a radius of 15 or 25 kilometers of Ciechanowiec. And now I was told that all these places would be very dangerous for me. With heavy heart I took leave of the priest, and I did not go home to Ciechanowiec.
Two years later, in 1948, the Polish government was more established and able to control the anti-Semitic riots a little better. Though the violence was not completely rooted out, I decided to risk a visit to Ciechanowiec. It was a very difficult journey and I will try to express my impressions in a few lines. Even at the train station in Czyzewo, I discerned the changes. There were many Christians from farming villages like Usza, Luniewo, Kuczyn, Tymianki, and Bujenka. They were loaded down with bales and bags of merchandise they had smuggled between here and Warsaw. They had taken over the Jewish trade.
In Ciechanowiec, I went to the widow Pjotrowski, the one who had killed her husband, the fat Ushik Pjotrowski. I stayed with her for three days. During that period, I sold the lot that was behind my house. The house had been burned by the Germans. It was not the only one. All Jewish homes in the New City, beginning with Karamelnik's house, Manes Okun's, Plonski's, Rubinstein's, Danowitz, etc., on up to the synagogue were torched to the ground. Vigodsky's house was also burned. I learned that Stepak Vigodsky and Michel Zolyewsky were shot.
I encountered a similar situation in the Old City. A whole line of Jewish homes destroyed - that of the dentist Lewin, Moshe David Kizak's house, and many others. Not a sign was left of the synagogue or schools. All the stores and fixtures that once made up the market had disappeared. Christians now occupied any houses that escaped the destruction. Christian farmers, who had moved in from the countryside, took over the Jewish merchants' functions.
Some of the Christians recognized me and outwardly acted friendly. They greeted me, tipped their hats, and even invited me to visit with them. They expressed sympathy over the loss of my family. Others brought me pictures of my dead family, others had pictures of me; pictures they had obtained by sacking my house. When I asked if they would like for me to return and settle in Ciechanowiec, they put their heads down and did not answer.
In short, Ciechanowiec was wiped from the face of the earth. For us, it no longer existed. All that remained were our memories of the past. Regardless of how sad and tragic was the ending, those memories and our sentimental ties to the Ciechanowiec of years gone by, have not disappeared. I think they will remain with us until the end of our days.
[Page 636]
Romanus, a Nazi officer in the Ciechanowiec area, tortured and murdered people for no reason whatsoever. His hatred for Jews was virulent and its all-consuming flame burned within him. There was no way to extinguish that hatred.
Under his command, Jews were tortured mercilessly as they engaged in forced labor. One time, he was sprawled out beside a ruined wall which was being worked on. The Jewish workers watched in horror as a pile of bricks fell on Yaacov Kiejsmacher, crushing his hand. Blood gushed from the wounds and in his agony, Yaacov screamed out for help. But no doctor came to his aid. I ran to him and tried to stop the flow of blood with the primitive means available. Romanus watched the spectacle with great enjoyment. And then, having enough of that entertainment, he forced poor Yaacov to continue working despite the severe injury to his mutilated hand.
Romanus would amuse himself by randomly firing his gun into open windows. One time, while strolling in the ghetto, he began shooting into the home of my brother-in-law, Moshe Plisky, scaring his child nearly to death. Moshe took his family and tried to rush to the home of Shayna Wrona the midwife. But the sadist and his assistant intercepted him, tied him up, and then brutally beat him. After that they forced him to return to his house.
Ephraim, Herschel, and Yaacov the Smuggler Plisky also had a confrontation with the savage murderer. Romanus accidentally caught the three of them trading with the Polish peasants. . Romanus threw them into prison. Over a two-week period, they were severely beaten. If they lost consciousness from the beatings, Romanus would revive them by splashing cold water on them. In that way they would be awake for continued torture. Temporarily freed by their tormenter, they returned home, pulling themselves by their hands, as their feet and legs were broken. They remained lying in their beds, half dead, without any medical attention. They were incapable of eating or drinking. They were bedridden in that sorrowful state for two months.
By no means was their suffering over. Somehow Romanus heard that these Jews were feeling a little better, so he ordered them to appear before him. For four consecutive days they were beaten, virtually without interruption. They were not given even one drop of water. At last, he looked upon their miserable condition and couldn't decide which one should be next for continued beating. They were all on the verge of death so Romanus, in his mercy released them. That way they might recover for renewed torture.
Another time, when I was forced to work on Shabbat, Romanus rode by on his horse along with his bodyguard. The murderer accused me of slacking off in my work. He made me run in front of his horse, all the while beating me incessantly. We continued all the way to the cemetery of the New City. In the cemetery they made me kneel on the ground. While in that position, Romanus and his accomplice bore down upon me astride their unruly horses. The ordeal ended with the intense blow of a bludgeon on my head. I blacked out and remained unconscious on the ground. As I stirred, I was only aware of the blood oozing from my throbbing cracked head. I was unable to see anything. Finally, and with great effort, I arose and dragged myself to the house of the Gentile where I was assigned to work. The blood was washed away and my head was bandaged. I stayed in bed in the Gentile's house until nightfall and then returned to the ghetto.
I had lain in enormous pain for two weeks before returning to work. But that bloody Shabbat incident troubled me beyond the injuries. I felt that a terrible storm was before us. I sensed that Romanus' terror was merely a prelude to an awful catastrophe that was, sooner or later, to afflict the Jewish community of Ciechanowiec.
Conditions in the ghetto deteriorated day by day. Rumors spread that the nearby community in Czyzewo had been liquidated. We did not want to believe it, but we attempted to find out the truth behind that terrible news. We made contact with a Ciechanoffzer Christian, paid him a handsome sum, and sent him to Czyzewo to learn of the situation there. When the Christian returned from his journey, he broke the awful news that he had seen no trace of any Jews in that town.
Each day we awoke expecting an aktion. The Jewish population wandered aimlessly around the ghetto, not knowing what to do with themselves. Pious Jews prayed that HaShem would not desert His children in a time of such peril. Just as He had taken our father Abraham from a furnace of fire, and Daniel from the lion's den, at the last minute He would demonstrate a great miracle and we would all survive.
As the situation in the ghetto became more and more critical, I noticed that Jews were no longer compelled to work. Romanus seemed unconcerned with our activities. We could not sleep because of the terrible nightmares. We continually thought about what might be in store for us. What are we up against? Would we suffer the same fate as the Czyzewo Jews?
I observed what was happening within the ghetto and that our spirit was being broken. I had no illusions. It became clear to me that I must escape from this trap - and fast. I knew of a secret trap door which led to a tunnel that would allow escape. My wife Faiga did not agree with this idea. But I was desperate and took my two grown children and went to the house of the Gentile for whom I had worked. We hid in the attic until one in the morning. A deep feeling of ruin and despair hung in the air. My children began to whimper, Father, let us go home. Aside from us, nobody had yet escaped from the ghetto. I took pity on them and returned to the ghetto. My wife said to me with reproach, All the Jews are in bed, sound asleep. Only you seem to be so afflicted. I answered her, May G-d grant that we come out of this situation in one piece. With that, I lay down in bed, fully clothed.
I was suddenly stirred by the thunderous sound of gunfire. It was a blood curdling, ear splitting noise. I ran out in the street and there I saw Jews, literally, hanging from the barbed wire that penned in the ghetto. In their desperation, they were trying to escape and the murderers were shooting at them with automatic rifles. I could see my landsleit falling like hunted prey. We knew this was to be the end. Romanus had decided to liquidate the ghetto. Two days earlier, he had brought in reinforcements of German troops along with Polish supporters. And, ominously, there were large numbers of wagons with which to cart away the dead.
At the last minute, I opened my secret door. Together with Shmuel Voinowitz, I escaped to the nearby forest. While running, we encountered the watchmaker who was Matta's son-in-law. He drew near to us and advised, Let's stay together and see what the future has in store for us.

LONDON/PARIS - Britain, Germany and France agreed on Sunday they should be ready to ratchet up sanctions on Russia over the downing of a Malaysian jet carrying 298 passengers when European foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Tuesday.
Ukraine on Sunday accused separatist rebels of hiding evidence that a Russian missile was used in the shooting down of the airline that has intensified a showdown between the Kremlin and Western powers.
Ministers should be ready to announce a fresh round of sanctions at a meeting of the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council, said a statement from British Prime Minister David Cameron's office, issued after calls with French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "They ... agreed that the EU must reconsider its approach to Russia and that foreign ministers should be ready to impose further sanctions on Russia when they meet on Tuesday," the statement said.
The leaders also agreed to press Russian President Vladimir Putin to ensure investigators had free access to the crash site.
Before the jet crashed last week, EU leaders had already agreed to sanction some Russian companies and block new loans to Russia by multilateral lenders, but the measures still were less stringent than US restrictions announced at the same time.
The 28-nation EU has been under pressure from the United States and Ukraine to take a harder line but some EU governments are wary of potential retaliation from Russia, the bloc's biggest energy supplier, if they imposed trade sanctions Speaking earlier on Sunday, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said that unless Moscow's position radically changed, Britain would be pushing more reluctant European states to agree to new sanctions.
He warned that Russia could end up in international isolation. "Some of our European allies, have been less enthusiastic, and I hope that the shock of this incident will see them now more engaged, more willing to take the actions which are necessary to bring home to the Russians that when you do this kind of thing it has consequences," Hammond told the BBC.
In a separate interview, Hammond said Russia must use its influence over rebels to ensure safe access to the crash site and cooperate with international investigators. "Russia risks becoming a pariah state if it does not behave properly," he said on Sky television.
He said information so far pointed strongly to the conclusion that the plane had been shot down from territory held by pro-Russian separatists and the missile was almost certainly supplied by Russia.
"The Russians have influence if not direct control over these people," he said. "They have been supplying them, they have been supporting them, they have been providing them with succour. They cannot deny their responsibility for the acts that these people are carrying out."

Reality TV star and mother of eight Kate Gosselin will run the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago mini-marathon July 22 in Grant Park.
What's your excuse for not running?
The former star of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will take part in the 3 mile course on behalf of her current employer Couponcabin.com (she's a blogger for the website, which is offering runners $5 off the race entry fee). Gosselin, 37, ran the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego half marathon Sunday and the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas marathon in December.
Gosselin won't be the first reality star to take part in the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago race. Giuliana Rancic, star of Style Network's "Giuliana and Bill," and "Bachelor" alums Jake Pavelka and Jason Mesnick ran the half marathon in 2010. "Today" weatherman Al Roker and retired NFL star Roger Craig ran it in 2011.
Heads up: "Glee" actor Chris Colfer will sign copies of his children's book "The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell" at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville July 19. … Andy Samberg, who earlier this week announced he has left "Saturday Night Live," will meet with Chicago media Tuesday to promote his upcoming film "That's My Boy." … Singers Robin Thicke and Karmin will headline Macy's Glamorama 2012, which this year will take place August 10 at Harris Theater in Millenium Park. ... "106 & Park" co-host and "Think Like a Man" actor Terrence J will appear at Crown Royal Black's The Crown Life party Tuesday at the Chicago Illuminating Company.
It's in the game: NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, who grew up in Roscoe, Ill., will be a playable character in the upcoming video game, "Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed." Your move, "Mario Kart."
On the record: "I really didn't know anybody. I would go to East Bank Club and try to stretch my workout as long as I could, just to have something to do during the day." Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel talks to Michigan Avenue magazine about her brief time living in Chicago.
Finding love in a hopeless place: Chicago resident and fellow Tribune employee Yanina Beccaria feels men in this city are hard to date and tried her luck on the Jenny McCarthy-hosted reality show, "Love in the Wild," which airs Tuesdays on NBC. When I asked Yanina what she has against us, she said we have "Peter Pan syndrome" (in other words, she feels we don't want to grow up). Pfff. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Good job, good effort: I didn't like cheering for the same sports teams as everyone else when I was a kid (the Cubs being the exception), which is why I'm a San Antonio Spurs fan and have been since fifth grade. Even when the Bulls won six titles, I stuck with the Spurs and it eventually paid off with four titles. I was convinced a fifth was on the way a week ago. Four straight losses later, I'm asking myself "What the hell just happened?" and listening to Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" on repeat. This one is going to sting for a while. Oh well. At least I still have the Cubs...
Sightings: Pink Floyd's Roger Waters dined at Balena in Lincoln Park Saturday. … Giuliana and Bill Rancic hosted a viewing party for their reality show Tuesday at their restaurant, RPM Italian. Walter E. Smithe furniture presented the couple, which is expecting a child via surrogate, with a rocking chair at the party. ... The Bears' Lance Briggs, Charles "Peanut" Tillman and Johnny Knox attended former Bear Rashied Davis's Cocktails for Brighter Tomorrows party, which benefitted his Saturday Place youth program, at Rockit Bar & Grill Tuesday. … The White Sox's John Danks, Adam Dunn and Jake Peavy were on hand for Pat Green's concert at Joe's on Weed St. Friday (The Pony owner Mark Domitrovich told me Peavy has a great singing voice. I still don't know if he was joking.) … Former New York Knick Allan Houston dined Tuesday at Jake Melnick's Corner Tap Tuesday.
Watch this: I like Kanye West but don't like his "Mercy" song. Why? I don't know. I'm not a music writer. I can't really explain it. I usually either think a song sucks or it doesn't. But if you like this song, which also features Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz, then I'm guessing you'll probably enjoy the music video.

Published February 28, 2013
Sonny Ramaswamy, director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), will visit UB next week to speak on a topic of increasing concern in the 21st century: how to increase food production in the context of a burgeoning global population, changing climate and diminishing land and water resources.
Ramaswamy's talk, "Setting the table for a flatter, hotter, more crowded Earth," will take place at 11:30 a.m. March 6 in the Screening Room, 112 Center for the Arts, North Campus.
The talk is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
The question, says Ramaswamy, is critical. Are we prepared to feed, clothe and shelter everyone on earth without wreaking havoc on the environment? The global population is expected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050; it has been estimated that food production will need to increase between 50 to 70 percent—or even double—from today's production levels.
Ramaswamy was appointed director of NIFA in May 2012. He oversees NIFA funding for a wide range of research, education and extension projects that address the needs of farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers.
He served as dean of Oregon State University's College of Agricultural Sciences and director of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station before joining NIFA.

The family of John Steinbeck, the Nobel Prize-winning author of "The Grapes of Wrath" and other American classics, and the Center for Steinbeck Studies, have announced that they are giving their prestigious John Steinbeck Award to Michael Moore. They're making their official announcement today and I thought you'd like to see the statement they've released to the press. Steinbeck's son, Thomas, will present the award to Mike next month at a ceremony at San Jose State University (the public is invited to attend). Thomas Steinbeck had this to say this morning: "Michael Moore is a courageous man and a great selection for the John Steinbeck Award. My father would have loved him; my father was the Michael Moore of his time."

Discovering Argon with the 2-Sample t-Test
March 10, 2013 1 Comment
I learned about Lord Rayleigh's discovery of argon in my 2nd-year analytical chemistry class while reading "Quantitative Chemical Analysis" by Daniel Harris. (William Ramsay was also responsible for this discovery.) This is one of my favourite stories in chemistry; it illustrates how diligence in measurement can lead to an elegant and surprising discovery. I find no evidence that Rayleigh and Ramsay used statistics to confirm their findings; their paper was published 13 years before Gosset published about the t-test. Thus, I will use a 2-sample t-test in R to confirm their result.

Canon has updated its entry-level digital camera for the first time in over 15 months, but has the wait been worth it? We had a chance to get an early hands-on with the new 450D (or the Digital Rebel XSi for our American readers) at the company's Spring Collection event in London.
Normally when a DSLR from Canon is updated there are tweaks here and there perhaps implying why it has always gone for the increase of the number 50 to the model number rather than a whole 100. But here it seems Canon has not simply stopped at increasing the megapixel count from 10 to a 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor but added stacks of other features and design changes.
From a design perspective it's not a completely new design but there are improvements and changes from the 400D. The most obvious is the increase in screen size from 2.5 to 3 inches.
The change, which also promises to be 50% brighter than on the 400D, makes a massive difference especially when viewing images on playback. Because of the new screen buttons have been moved around accordingly.
A dedicated ISO button is now next to the shutter button, while the menu keys to the left of the screen on the 400D have also found a new home.
The rearranging has also meant there are more rubberised grips, as with the 40D.
Other design changes include the ditching of CompactFlash for SD card. The move, say Canon, is to allow users of its compact range to move up to the entry-level DSLR without having to invest in new memory cards.
It's clear that the inclusion of the memory card format is to allow them to create a model that is lighter and smaller than its predecessor while still sporting that bigger screen. In fact the more lightweight body now weighs less than 475 grams.
We for one, welcome the move, as a mobile journalist it is always frustrating that if we use our 400D we have to remember to bring a cable with us. SD cards have the advantage of plugging straight into a PC Card slot reader or if your using one of the SanDisk USB cards straight into a USB slot.
The Canon 450D has just had a few design nip and tucks. Canon has added Live View, allowing photographers to get a live view on the back of the screen without looking through the optical viewfinder. The option can be turned on and off via a press of a button and focusing is done via the press of another button.
In our brief play it worked very well focusing quickly on any given subject although we have to profess it does in our mind take away the mental focus of taking a picture.
Other software improvements include a revamped menu system that does involve you having to scroll off screen.
Not, it seems, satisfied by offering 10 megapixels as with the 400D, the 450D comes with 12 running the DIGIC III processor found in the company's higher range models.
The DIGIC III image processor and a redesigned menu system is borrowed from Canon's EOS-1 pro-level range while a choice of 13 custom functions allowing the user to customise the camera to their shooting style will please enthusiasts.
There camera also comes with the company's EOS Integrated Cleaning System alongside the addition of a new 9-point wide-area AF system with f/2.8 cross-type centre point.
This inclusion means faster capture speeds in sports modes (up to 3.5 frames per second) and improved pictures al round. We were unable to take and pictures at the show to show you, but based on what we saw on the back of the screen the performance looked good with little noise.
Canon has resisted the temptation to offer anything above ISO 1600 and the image stabilisation didn't seem to hinder performance either.
Although our play was brief and we were unable to print or save our results, from a hardware and design aspect, Canon has created what looks to be a great looking entry-level model that will entice plenty if photographers starting out.
As a step up from the 400D there is plenty to justify, and if you're looking to upgrade from the 300D or 350D go for it.
How does it compare to the rest of the market against cameras from Nikon, Sony, Pentax, and Samsung entry-level models? While the addition of megapixels, Live View and the bigger screen brings it up to the same spec, it will still however come down to personal choice of what interface you prefer, however from our First Look it looks like the 450D won't disappoint the Canon fan club.
The Canon 450D will be available in March.

Q. Why are honeybees drinking water from my birdbath?
A. The birdbath may be closer to the hive than a natural source of water, said Cole Gilbert, a Cornell entomologist. Or the bees may have discovered it while foraging for nectar and pollen, then returned when conditions in the colony changed.
Bees collect water from many nonpure sources — even urine, by one report, Dr. Gilbert said — but prefer pure water, like that in a birdbath, when specifically foraging for it.
The most important factor in a hive's water requirements is temperature control in the area where larvae are raised.
Water is collected by the same means as nectar, by sucking through the proboscis, Dr. Gilbert said. It is stored in the honey stomach, a pouch where nectar is also stored. "When foragers return to the hive, the water is regurgitated and passed by trophallaxis, a fancy word for mouth to mouth, from the forager bee to a younger hive bee," he said.
While the hive bee smears droplets on the comb, other bees hang out near the hive entrance, fanning their wings to increase airflow through the hive. The vaporizing droplets remove heat.
When extra water is needed, a hive bee signals to a forager bee by refusing to take her nectar for some time. When it is eventually accepted, the forager bee looks for water on her next foray.

BAD news for fans of high-brow British and European ale. I've got my hands on another obscure Russian lager. Still, that's good news for fans of unusual East-European beers. It's also a chance to re-try something I haven't had since my gap-year travels when it looked like this…
From local East-European wonderland, Russkij Bazar, here is a bottle of what I think is called Starij Melnik Gold. Self-evidently priced at £1.65 pence.
First impressions are of how different it looks to the one I had in Siberia. If you know the difference between the Gold I have here and the other one I tried, do please leave a message in the comments section at the end of this post.
Second impressions are that they've put effort into it. Have a look at these grips. Should your bottle be wet, or your drunkenness highly advanced, it won't slip from your grasp as easily.
The side-effect is that the back label small-print has been squished into a crowded neck-label.
After pouring over it with an electron microscope, I've been able to glean some facts. The ingredients are "water, barley malt, glucose syrup with malt sugar (wheat, maize), hops" and it is "pasturized". It has an alcoholic volume of 5.2%. And, unhelpfully, it has the web-address of www.monolith-gruppe.eu. Unhelpful because it's no longer obvious where Starij Melnik Gold comes from. The Italian language section mentions a Moscow based Efes Moscow Brewery, but the word "imported" is proving elusive. Leave a comment if you can shed some light on this mystery.
Translators, do you thing in the comments section! As labels go, this one is basic. The imitation stamp in the corner says something about tradition. And I'm not entirely sure that the name translation on the label is correct. On the neck label, it translates the name as Starij Melnik Gold. But the first word, I'm nearly fairly sure, it more like "Smarij", not "Starij". Translators, what is going on here?
And because that's all I can translate, it's the end the boring description bit. What does Starij Melnik Gold taste like? How does it compare to other lagery beers and should you bother buying it? Let's twist open the bottle top and write some opinionated hyperbole.
In a pint glass, this fridge cooled bottle of Starij Melnik Gold looks much like any other lager. The long neck of the bottle makes it almost impossible to pour without glugging, so you end up with a head that somehow completely fills but doesn't overflow a pint glass. Now that's foresight.
The liquid itself is yellow and fizzy. The head is white. Even a few minutes after pouring, it's still topped by a thick layer of foam. Not bad at all.
Have you ever sniffed a cold glass of any mainstream lager? Then you'll know what to expect from the smell. An unremarkable blend of malted barley.
What does Starij Melnik Gold taste like? Two easy gulps in prove it to be a perfectly acceptable pilsner style lager. First impressions are that it's going to be unremarkable, but hard to fault.
At least at fridge temperature, there's no flavour and virtually no taste whatsoever. Taking a few more gulps to investigate, reveals only the most delicate of lagery tastes. In a very smooth introduction, your tongue will barely notice the savoury, bittersweet finish. I'm struggling to taste anything at all here.
What am I enjoying about Starij Melnik Gold? It is ridiculously easy to drink. There is nothing to deter even the most timid drinker. It's very clean and refreshing. That means it would probably go well with a hot curry. Just make sure your Starij Melnik Gold is well chilled.
What aren't I enjoying about Starij Melnik Gold? In the taste department, it's in the same league as Tesco Value Lager. Even most mainstream lagers manage a hint of hoppiness or a taste of malted barley. This has almost no identifiable taste. The lightness and drinkability come at the cost of making it watery. The quibbles are that the labels aren't at all clear, it's expensive and a little gassy.
How can I sum up Starij Melnik Gold? If you want a bottle of water but only have this, then don't worry. Starij Melnik Gold will do fine. It'll also go down well with spicy food. If you actually want to taste something however, then buy almost anything else.
Rating: 2.7
Have you tried Starij Melnik Gold? What did you think? Can you translate anything or resolve the mystery surrounding this bottle? Then leave a comment below. Every one of which I read and will bear in mind next time I buy a bottle of Russian beer.

Just a few more links to wrap up a delightful weekend.
- Native boot from VHD on a Windows XP computer – Mark Wilson's blog – Mark has brilliantly worked out a solution to native booting that I haven't seen yet. Windows 7 allows you to Boot to VHD with just a modicum of effort and run your VHD system on the physical hardware layer rather than a virtualized one. Then some clever folks figured out how you can Dual Boot Windows 7 on Vista via VHD file by swapping Vista's boot manager file version with the one from Windows 7 which does support VHD booting. I've been running Windows 7 RC x64 on both my and Lavie's personal laptops for some time this way all the while preserving our existing Vista installs until Windows 7 final comes out. I had hoped to do the same thing in keeping a native XP system in place and then boot Windows 7 from a VHD but XP didn't seem able to be VHD booted under W7. Mark's solution doesn't change my issue (Windows 7 as the base install and XP in the VHD being booted). Instead he just simply reverses the equation. Keep XP as the base install, do some freaky (but clever) boot chain-loading configuring. This gets around both issues. First the Windows 7 bootloader is forced upon the native XP system. Then the Windows 7 VHD system is attached and set to be a native booting option. Finally the legacy (XP) boot settings are chained to the boot loader configuration. Like I said, very clever and this solution method actually works.
- F-SECURE Releases New Rescue CD – CyberSec blog. According to the release notes, it is based on Knoppix and contains a minimal set of tools to off-line scan a system against malware/viruses. It also now contains a few tools to recover deleted files and messed up partitions and check the S.M.A.R.T data of the local hard-drive. DAT files can be accessed/updated using a prepped USB stick. More Info from the F-Secure blog: What is F-Secure Rescue CD? and Rescue CD 3.11
- EraserDrop Portable - PortableApps.com. I love Heidi Eraser for secure file erasing and zero-ing out freespace on a drive. as well as the Eraser Portable version. However it isn't always the most convenient tool to use as you have to drag files into a schedule task, then run the task. EraserDrop takes the nuissance out of it by displaying an icon on the desktop to which you just drag-drop-n-secure-erase your files on the fly.
- Sysinternals Site Discussion : Updates: Autoruns v9.56. "Autoruns v9.56: This update enables Autoruns to view registry entries that have permissions only allowing the System account access and fixes a bug that caused some rundll32-hosted entries to not display correctly."
- Internet Evidence Finder – Updated – JADsoftware. "Version 2.0.5 updates: Fixed bug where physical locations of located artifacts beyond 4GB were sometimes incorrect. IEF is also now compatible with Mount Image Pro! Tested/verified with version 3.26.522."
- Patch Registration Cleanup Tool – Microsoft Download Center. "Brief Description: On a computer that has a Windows Installer based product installed, you may receive an error while installing an update for the product and the installation of the update may fail." See KB976220 for more information.
- Microsoft SharedView – Version 1.0 Release – Spotted via Mark Wilson's blog post SharedView: Free desktop sharing across the 'net. Take a look at the extensive release notes for a roundup of the bug-fixes and compatibility enhancements. As Mark kindly noted, I've posted about it on GSD (Microsoft SharedView: OMG this is Free?!!!) and while it is no replacement for a dedicated remote control client solution (Remote Desktop or ShowMyPC), for collaboration efforts with several participants across networks, it works great.
- Deploying Windows® 7 Essential Guidance from the Windows 7 Resource Kit and TechNet Magazine – Microsoft Download Center. Stop right now and go download this resource PDF file. Regardless on your feelings on Windows 7, it contains a smorgasbord of valuable information, all rounded up into a single volume! For example, Chapter 6: Developing Disk Images, Chapter 7: Migrating User State Data, Chapter 9: Preparing Windows PE. There's a lot more in the other chapters as well, but if you know the terms Win PE, ImageX, or WIM you really should download and print out this resource collection.
- RELEASE: Windows XP Mode & Windows Virtual PC - Windows Live. Though these "final" builds do not yet appear publically available, they are now accessible with your TechNet access. In the meantime if you don't have a TechNet access, and you are running Windows 7, you can still play with Windows Virtual PC RC, Windows XP Mode RC, or the Windows XP Mode RC (N) which diTii.com explains in their Windows XP Mode RC (N) for Windows 7 RTM – Omits Windows Media Player 9 post,
"…creates a virtual envelope for Windows XP N, the version Microsoft created without Media Player 9 pre-installed, to appease the European Commission. But there's a very good reason Windows 7 users may want the (N) version over regular Windows XP Mode: There's no really good reason for most users to be virtualizing Media Player 9 anyway, since XP Mode's real purpose in Windows 7 is for running older Windows apps whose developers didn't make the transition to Vista. If you want to watch a movie, you've got Media Player 11 in Win7."
Now you know!

Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) introduced the Regulatory Relief for Credit Unions Act Friday, a bill that would establish a risk-based capital system for credit unions.
"This bill represents a way forward on risk-based capital that we believe can get Congressional support," said incoming NAFCU President/CEO Dan Berger.
CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney said in a letter to Miller following the bill's introduction that the current credit union capital regime was imposed on credit unions in 1998, and it includes leverage ratios and other restrictions that are hardwired into the statute.
"There are many lessons to learn from the 2008-2012 banking crisis, including the importance of capital and the importance of having regulators equipped to respond to crisis," he said. "Your legislation would amplify the NCUA's authority to implement a risk-based capital regime and provide NCUA the flexibility to adjust leverage requirements."
The bill would also give the NCUA the ability to adjust capital requirements when necessary, Cheney said.
"The authority proposed by your legislation is designed to produce capital rules similar to those that small banks in the United States must follow," he said.
The bill also included additional directives for the NCUA, including the ability to appropriately modify CFPB regulations effecting credit unions, provide deposit insurance coverage on Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts, grant federal credit unions a waiver to follow state regulations in some situations, and require both the NCUA and CFPB to review cost-benefit analysis of rules three years after they go into effect.
The legislation would also direct the Government Accountability Office to study the need for improvements and modernization of the Central Liquidity Facility.
"As the credit union system and its regulatory regime have evolved, the CLF has not proved to be essential to natural person credit unions in dealing with their own liquidity needs," Cheney said. "Nevertheless, as we saw during the financial crisis, a facility that permits the NCUA and/or the NCUSIF to borrow from the federal government during stressful times is essential. Therefore, an examination of how the CLF might be modernized with the goal of meeting system liquidity needs into the future is appropriate."
As expected, the bill did not include any provisions related to member business lending or supplemental capital. Those issues have already been addressed by two separate bills introduced earlier this year.
"With member business lending addressed as part of H.R. 688, the 'Credit Union Small Business Jobs Creation Act,' and supplemental capital addressed in H.R. 719, the 'Capital Access for Small Businesses and Jobs Act,' this bill becomes the third major credit union specific proposal from our five-point plan for credit union regulatory relief to be offered in the House this Congress. We are pleased that the concept of regulatory relief for credit unions continues to gain Congressional support," said NAFCU Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler,

Hello Kentucky PF Members,
Indiana, for your members this might be a duplication of information I have already passed along but I am doing this for the benefit of the Illinois and Kentucky members.
Kentucky, you currently do not have a Group Coordinator so I am filling in for you in that respect. I would like to get a WAT organized in your actual state. The PF has a national date of May 13th set up for the Walk-a-thons. I am going to be doing a WAT(Walk-a-thon) here in Indianapolis along the canal downtown, but maybe we could organize one for your state on a different weekend. Any volunteers willing to help? I can help start the process, give ideas, help with funding efforts between members and the Foundation, and attend the WAT to help set up, walk, and tear down. What do you think?
Indianapolis Walk-A-Thon - Tentatively we are scheduled to have our WAT on May 13th (Sat) at the along the White River State Park canal in downtown Indianapolis. We will have a pre-registration sign up of $15.00 to include a t-shirt and then $20.00 registration at the door. I am looking to get a list of all babies, moms, families affected by PE to serve as a memorium/honor listed on signs along the path. I will also have signs with statistics and sponsors to add interest to our walking path. We need help to earn funds for the WAT's actual location rental of $250.00. I have materials I can put in a garage sale to help earn funds. Anyone interested can help me with organizing a fund raising event with a local restaurant where a certain percentage of the nights profits go towards the Foundation. Those funds can be earmarked for research as well as administrative help to getting our WAT fundraising event off the ground. This will be the first WAT for Indianapolis! ALL of you are welcome to come and attend. I will keep you informed as to details and when we have open registration!
Are there any of you interested in coming to Indiana for the Walk-a-thon or possibly the Annual Conference if we host both here? We are trying to get the word out so you have time to plan.
If you have any questions, comments, or helpful ideas, please email me at this address. I am open to more ideas.
Walk-a-thon Invite to KY

Oops? Country club flasher returns
A notice posted outside the women's dressing room at the Boar's Head Sports Club warns that a man who strolled naked into the ladies locker room there about a year ago recently was spotted and pursued at Farmington.
The security alert, dated July 3, follows up a bizarre incident from last year in which a naked man walked into the ladies' locker room at the Boar's Head Sports Club and then apologized profusely for coming into the wrong room. The same M.O. supposedly was used at Farmington Country Club.
Boar's Head Sports Club management calls the story "ancient history."
"I don't want this in the paper," said a club manager, who further threatened that if The Hook used her name, she wouldn't return our calls.
She refused to provide details on the exhibitionist or on the pursuit through Farmington, saying only that Boar's Head Sports Club members were alerted about the incident in its newsletter, and the Albemarle County Police had been notified.
County police were unable to turn up any reports on the alleged flasher, including the latest pursuit through Farmington.
Phil Keister, general manager at Farmington, says he'd heard about the Boar's Head incident and that the same story circulated at Farmington two years ago.
"I never spoke to anyone who said they saw it happen," Keister says, adding, "It almost sounds like the commingling of several stories to me."
The Boar's Head alert was removed following The Hook's call. It was written on tasteful club stationery and describes the perpetrator as about 35 years old, 5' 11", with light hair, and says he drives an older gray Honda. The notice reminds members that there are emergency phones in the locker room for use should the mysterious nudist appear again.
So where is this unmasked, unclothed man?
One Boar's Head member believes the in-the-buff appearance in the wrong dressing room really may have been an accident.
Others speculate that perhaps this is the start of a Charlottesville urban– or (sub)urban– legend. Or perhaps the gentleman merely has moved on to greener pastures: the locker rooms of Glenmore and Keswick.

My wife Heather and I love this lamp but we want to know its history . We found it in Heather' great aunts house, Aunt M. told us we could pick something out, before she went to live with her son in Toronto... So the lamp was in a box that was going to the dump . So we did the right thing and saved the plane-lamp and some old 45's of Aunt M's. We asked her about the lamp, but she couldn't remember much about it but she never turned it on because it would get to hot . She said it showed up in the 1950's.. Thats was the end of the story, Aunt M. died in 2004. So we have a Unsolved Mystery... The sticker on the under side of the wing states Tuscan mfg.co.ltd. Portable Electric Lamp. We want to know if its from the U.S. and the Style of the design on the base . Lots of questions ...It stands about 9" from the base .
made of metal covered with chrome , light switch is on the underside of the main body of the plane .org. cord and light bulb inside plane. Its kind of neat, but Aunt M.was right it does get to hot...so we don't turn it on......

Thanks for all the great potty training advice you offered in May! After evaluating our options, we decided to stick with the "stickers and candy" method of potty training. We went to Sam's Club and stocked up on a ridiculously large box of Reeses Minis and got to work. She got one piece of candy for sitting on the potty, then another when she did the deed. And by the way, I think would be a much happier place if we each got candy every time we went to the potty. Just throwing that out there.
For awhile, nothing happened. If she did go, it was because we happened to catch her at the right time, which of course still resulted in much praise and excitement from Patrick and I. This was more or less confusing for her at first. All she knew was that we stole her pants, plopped her down on some strange toy with a hole in it, and then made lots of noise and clapping when she stood up. But hey, she got chocolate, and that was good enough for her.
When she began to catch on I decided to make things more fun for her, so I bought supplies to make her a potty chart, similar to the one on Prudent Baby.
Theirs is all cute and color coordinated, and they even have printable labels to go along with the chart. But I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like printing anything at the time. (Because there's obviously a lot of effort that goes into pressing the "print" button...) So I decided to make my own version:
(totally being sarcastic...)
Believe me, I wasn't trying to make it nearly as cute as the ladies at Prudent Baby did. I used a piece of poster board and some crayons, then did my best to draw a chart...thing. I let Haley help me decorate it because it thought she might get more excited about something that she helped make. I had to suppress the desire to tell her not to color inside of the potty chart and just let her do her thing, but my OCD was definitely twitching. I also had to suppress the desire to tell her to put the stickers in the right place, even when she has only gone pee pee in the potty.
On a side side note - do any of you other moms out there catch yourself saying "pee pee" when you're referring to yourself? On a date night recently, I had to catch myself from telling my husband I was "going to go pee pee in the potty." Part of having a great marriage is all about good communication people ;)
Now, how to master #2?

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new vehicle.
You choose the vehicle, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the vehicle outright for an agreed lump sum (the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.

This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common forms of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

If you think the big three prestigious German brands have the Executive car segment sewn- up, a drive in Jaguar's second generation XF may be enough to make you reconsider. Even in the face of tough competition from rivals like the BMW 5 Series, the Mercedes E-Class and the Audi A6, this car offers a compelling range of virtues.
This MK2 Jaguar XF model is lighter, more efficient and packed with technology, an improvement on its predecessor in every possible respect. Slightly more compact dimensions disguise a longer wheelbase that's allowed the hi-tech aluminium-intensive architecture to clothe a much more spacious cabin, especially for rear seat folk. What hasn't changed is the XF's remit as a more sporting, dynamic choice in the full-sized Executive segment. To put that in competitive context, it's more BMW 5 Series than Audi A6 or Mercedes E-Class, though buyers of all three of these cars should be tempted by this model's cutting-edge cabin technology and class-leading efficiency figures. In the last decade, German rivals like these have dominated this market sector as Jaguar re-built its reputation amongst business buyers. Having done that and rejuvenated the car that re-established it as a desirable brand, the company's ready to take on this segment in earnest with what looks to be an elegant, progressive display of British engineering and craftsmanship. How will it fare? Let's find out.
Stay with us here. The XF range hinges around 2.0-litre diesel four-cylinder engines and while that doesn't sound too exciting, it's where the big sales are. Most buyers opt for this unit in either 163 or 180PS guises, but the brand also offers a twin-turbo 240PS version of this engine. The two more powerful variants are offered with the option of AWD. There are now some decent petrol options further down the range, also using the brand's efficient 'Ingenium' technology and exclusively available with automatic transmission. A 2.0-litre four cylinder unit comes with either 200, 250 or 300PSPS, the pokier powerplants available with an AWD option. As before, two V6 engines sit at the top of the range, a 300PS twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre diesel and a 380PS supercharged 3.0-litre petrol unit. The top diesel cranks out 700Nm and can rocket to 62mph in just 5.8 seconds. The petrol engine has been purloined from the F-TYPE sportster and is reserved exclusively for the racy XF S. Matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, this model is capable of covering the 0-62mph sprint in 5.1 seconds on its way to an electronically-limited maximum speed of 155mph. Across the XF range, driving dynamics suit a relaxed but purposeful style. The chassis delivers near perfect 50:50 weight distribution and huge strides have been made to perfect refinement. The XF shares its suspension set-up with the smaller XE model, which means struts with double wishbones at the front and an 'integral link' independent set-up at the rear. The steering uses the same electric power-assisted set-up as the Jaguar F-Type and XE, while active dampers are on the options list.
From almost any angle, you'd know this was a Jaguar. You'd know this was an XF. It's a very different one though, in ways you simply won't appreciate if all you offer this car is a cursory glance. The sweeping coupe-like profile that defined the original model has evolved, the roofline lower, the rear deck longer and higher. There's a choice of saloon or Sportbrake bodystyles. And inside? Well a seat in the front of an XF has always been a special experience and it still is. The rising circular gear selector on automatic models remains a highlight, as are the cartwheeling airvents that turn into place as you start up. Those vents have been reduced in number and thrown to the edges of the cabin with this MK2 model, with the centre of the fascia freed up for a sophisticated 8-inch 'InControl Touch' infotainment system. This set-up's certainly a vast improvement on the low-tech display of the previous model in both form and function, but we are a little surprised that Jaguar has chosen not to provide the kind of 'i-Drive'-style rotary infotainment controller that direct Executive segment rivals offer, perhaps because of the possible confusion this might have created with the similar-looking rotary gear selector I mentioned earlier. You can now order it wih dual-screen technology which will enable the driver to look at one thing (say the sat nav) while the front passenger looks at another (say a DVD). At 4,954mm long, the XF remains a big car, so there's lots of room in the back. The doors offer an optional soft-close function, and there's plenty of natural light flooding the cabin. If you want more, you can specify a panoramic sunroof. The rear bench also features a more practical 40:20:40 split, making it easier to through-load bulky items such as skis. The 540-litre boot has the option of a power close function which can work with one of those 'gesture control' systems if you approach the car laden down with baggage.
The XF comes in either saloon or Sportbrake estate guises. Prices start at around £32,500 for a 2.0d variant with 163bhp, but another £500 gets you the 180PS version of this engine. Almost all buyers pay the £1,750 premium to get auto transmission, a standard feature on the pokiest diesel and all petrol variants. Trim-wise, the mainstream range steps up through Prestige, R-Sport and Portfolio trims. At the top of the range are the 300PS diesel and 380PS petrol XF S models, both priced at around £50,000. The InControl Touch infotainment system is based around an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen and supports gestures familiar from smartphones and tablets such as 'swipe' to perform actions such as moving from one page to the next or to change tracks, and 'drag' to scroll across maps. The InControl Touch Pro upgrade offers a 10.2-inch touchscreen and Dual View technology which simultaneously allows the driver to see information such as navigation, while the front seat passenger watches TV or a DVD. Audio systems include the exceptional 17-speaker, 825W Meridian digital surround sound system. Added safety technology bult into the optional surround camra system includes 'Forward Traffic Detection' which alerts you at times of reduced visbility when something is crossing your path up-front. And 'Forward Vehicle Guidance' which helps you place the car in low speed parking manoevres.
Running costs of course will be crucial for both private and business buyers. They won't be disappointed here. It seems almost unbelievable that the 2.0d 163PS engine opens with a supermini-style 104g/km emissions figure and 70.6mpg on the combined cycle. Step up to the 180PS version and you'll still see 114g/km and 65.7mpg - leading to an identical taxation banding. The AWD 180PS variant suffers in efficiency terms, the figures falling to 57.7mpg and 129g/km. The 240PS diesel manages 53.3mpg and 139g/km in RWD form, with only a fractional reduction on that if you go for AWD. As for the four cylinder 2.0-litre petrol engine, well expect 41.5mpg and 154g/km from the 200PS variant. Opt for the powerful V6 diesel and that'll see 51.4mpg with emissions of 144g/km. The supercharged 380PS petrol engine takes the wooden spoon in the efficiency stakes, as you'd probably guess, but 34mpg is far from disastrous when you pause to consider that a Porsche Cayman GT4, with similar power and a far smaller body, struggles to better 27mpg.

the smallest of small towns, known for the "maltby cafe" which is really just a cafe thats over filled with families trying to get something other than the cheap crap they get at the biggest store (Albersons). the only 2 schools in it are the elementary school, Maltby Elementary, and Hidden River Middle School, you actually have to drive down to Monroe to get to the only high school in the district. Monroe High. Of course we have like 3 gas stations and we have subway and McDondolds. but to actually shop you have to go to woodenville, and the closest mall is in either Seattle or Lynnwood.
I used to live in this tiny town and would argue to my dad because he said its not really a town. but it is. Maltby is deffinately a town
