I often hear people say they wish their babies and kids would stop growing so fast. Or that they couldn't wait for a certain age/phase to hurry up and be over. I noticed recently that I can't think of many times that I've heard someone appreciate the pace that their children are actually growing at. So how do you see it?
I feel a different way about all 3 of my children-- my oldest seems a bit babyish for his age, my middle one is just right, and I'm totally bummed that my last baby is already a toddler.
I have tried to savor every moment of every stage, knowing that dd will be my only. I think she is growing and maturing just as I would hope she would. I have never thought or said that I wish a stage would pass. I do get nostalgic for those that have passed. She was a really neat toddler and the discovery during that stage was also a stage of discovery for me. Each stage has been a joy. I don't think I could ask for much more as a mommy. I feel very blessed.
My guys are 17, 15 and almost 13. I can't believe I am the shortest in my house at 5'6" and they will start flying away for longer periods of time soon. I'm ok with the little hops out of the nest but I'm not so sure about the empty nest yet....
My kids so far, are growing up just the way they are supposed to (in other words, naturally).
If it looks like I'm trying to pick a fight... I'm not, I'm rarely that obvious.
DD is perfect, or even a bit fast. I want her to stay a baby forever, but she's only 10 months behind DS. So if I rush him along, then I rush her too. Boo.
very bittersweet for me.
on one hand i feel dd is growing up tooo fast....
... on the other hand i cant wait to see how she will be tomorrow.
she is at the right pace, but emotionally since i am a baby lover - i miss those sweet innocent toddler years.
all i can say is time just flies. i have of course had my amount of challenges - but even then time just flies. we sit and 'talk' and i find 3 hours just whizzed past.
I have always loved the different stages my dd has gone through, except when she was three. Three was an awful year and I couldn't wait for it to end. I think when people want their kids to grow out of a stage it isn't about wanting the kid growing up faster it is about wanting the kid to stop a particularly annoying habit that is hard for the parent to cope with calmly. When you live with other people there are often things that you just can't stand about them and wish they would stop doing even if they are adults.
I savored each stage, thinking to myself "it just can't get better than this!" Inevitably - it did. So far, I like where we're at now the best - a young adult (19) and one nearly there (17). We do things together now because we want to, not because it's stuff we HAVE to do together. We like each other, both as people related to one another, but also just as individuals. The relationship is much more equitable, as it were. And it's really tremendous to be at the point in their lives where they're starting to make their dreams come true, spreading their wings and flying on their own - which is what we raise them to do.
Depends on the day ;)

Self preservation is a full time occupation!
I guess when I'm in the thick of it, I don't think too much about it. I do get sentimental, however, when I see younger kids coming into DD's school and I have flashbacks, or when I compare this year's beach photos to last years. For me it is more of "where does time go" and "how did she get so tall"?
I've felt both ways at different times, so I voted that they're growing at the right pace. DD is 7, and I think feeling the pressure a bit to grow up... some of her friends are already interested in music geared toward pre-teens, she's asked to wear her play make-up out, stuff like that. But she still likes playing with her stuffies, doll stroller, and tea set... things I consider more age appropriate... so she's at sort of a funny stage. I think that parents have some influence on how quickly their kids grow up... her birthday was a few weeks ago and we got her a guitar, some play food and a sewing kit. She loves it all and plays with it... but I could have picked 'older kid' toys and she'd have liked them, too. I won't do that until the older kid toys are the ONLY things she's asking for!
i voted for growing faster but ONLY bc i want DS2 to mature a bit (make going out easier and sleep through the night.) i don't want DS1 to grow too fast; he's already nearly 6! i am NOT a fan of the entire first year and i'm always wondering why mommies are always lamenting their baby's first birthdays. maybe i'll find out with this next baby (we've been through 9 months of colic so we don't get loving the whole infant stage at all.)

you know i really feel there are two kinds of people. people who enjoy babies and people who dont. in our house my mom was the teenage person and my dad was the baby person. he did most of the nurturing - actively wanting to play wiith us (which mom really didnt wanna do) till we were about 8/9.
i am like my dad. I love babies (mine and others). i have a child who is an epitome of high needs, intense, explosive - you name it she is that. anything more than one inch was too much space between us.
oh gosh!!! parenting is getting soooo hard now. perhaps i should rephrase my earlier sentence. i get along better with babies and young ones till they hit their tweens. not just my kid - any kids. i am one of the favourite volunteers in dd's grade and i usually am in charge of all the difficult kids. i find it 'easier' to talk to them.
but i notice its getting harder. real harder. i feel what i did before was soooo much easier. dd will be 9 shortly and let me tell ya i am struggling. most of the time there are no easy answers.
looking back i find my relationship is so based on what i have discovered about how my relationship with people are. i am my most comfortable with kids preteens and those above 40. i am finding that about my dd too.
while it was hard as a baby, i was a much more confident mom. now its not. i want to scream. i want to lecture. but instead all i need to do is a look and silence. and that is soooo hard because i have to wait to figure out if dd got it or not. i dont get instant gratification that she did. or i didnt get my chance to really speak my mind the way i wanted to to make things clear.
meemee, i can imagine the tween/teen stages will be VERY difficult! eep. it makes me nervous thinking that one day they will think i'm so uncool and hate me and all that fun stuff! better enjoy all the love and doting i get from ds2 now, eh? i do enjoy him (and his brother) but i'd enjoy him a lot more if he'd sleep better LOL

Eta: how in the heck did to be become robe?
My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
Way too fast! I am really enjoying each stage as it comes along, but he is growing so quickly!
way too fast for me... DS1 was a very unhappy 0-10 month old, but since then has been very happy and I have loved every minute. He is almost 3.. and really growing into a KID. Not a baby. Not a toddler. A KID.
DS2 is almost 8 months and other than some colic/reflux/digestive issues on and off has been a VERY happy baby. Since 5 months he has been super happy.. Just this week he has started crawling and pulling up. It won't be long before he is a toddler, and I am very emotional about it.. even more so than with my first.
Maybe because my babies are big (9 lbs at birth, 21 lbs by 6 months, 27 lbs by a year) and they do things a little on the early side (DS1 crawled at 6/7 months and walked at 9 months) and both have been early talkers (DS2 has 3 words already, DS1 talks like a 4 year old... at 18 months he had 150 words)..... So they do sort of grow up faster than most babies their age.
They are growing up perfectly in their own time, but it is just too fast for me.
Catie - Happy wife to Aaron (01.05), mama to Liam(08.08), and Ian (11.10)! and due Feb 2013 with blessing #3!
I always can't wait for my kid to be older. I'm not a very patient person. It gets boring with her doing the same things. I like when she does new and exciting things. I can't wait to see what kind of person she will turn out to be. I can't wait until she can talk to me and share her thoughts. I am not nostalgic about her past at all.
I was especially this way for the first 6 months. Those months are just boring for me. The baby can't do anything. I love the cuddles, but maybe I'm just not a baby person. I'm really not looking forward to having more babies but I do want more kids some day.
I do try enjoy the here and now, but I'm always ready for the next thing.

Chennai, Sept 14 (UNI) With a view to reducing the burden of the poor people from the impact of rising prices, the Tamil Nadu Government today announced yet another populist scheme under which 1.86 crore card holders would be provided provisions at subsidised rates through ration shops from October 2.
Talking to newspersons at his residence here, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi said ten essential items used in day-to-day cooking like chilli powder, turmeric powder, Coriander power, Bengal gram, Mustard, Pepper, Jeera and other spices, would be provided in a polythene pack at subsidised rates.
The scheme was christened ''Maanya Vilayil Maligai Porulgal'' (Provisions at subsidised rates).
The package, which would cost Rs 67 in the open market, would be sold through fair price shops at Rs 50 and was designed to cater to one month's requirement of a family.
The scheme, to be launched on 'Gandhi Jayanthi', would benefit about 1.86 crore ration card holders across the state and the government would incur an additional expenditure of Rs 100 crore per annum.
The Chief Minister said the programme, aimed at benefitting the poor people and reduce the impact of prise rise on the common man, would be implemented through the special PDS scheme, under which essential items were being sold at subsidied rates through fair price shops.
Mr Karunanidhi said the announcement of a new scheme comes at a time when the Government was all set to launch former Chief Minister C N Annadurai's dream scheme of Rs one-a-kg-rice through fair price shops tomorrow, marking his birth centenary.

LyleE.Henderson began singing when he was 5 years old, on a chair, in front of a
national church convention audience at a General Assembly Convocation of THE CHURCH OF
THE LIVING GOD. He began his interest in the media as a small child, admiring the anchormen
and newscasters. His pursuit of both only made his music ministry stronger and more committed.
He has performed with such Gospel greats as the late O'Landa Draper, Melvin Williams (of the
legendary Williams Brothers), Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar recording choir, Trin-i-tee-
5-7, Earnest Pugh, Alexis Spight, The Mississippi Mass Choir, New Orleans Gospel Soul
Children, to name a few... He has also performed with such Jazz icons as Terence Blanchard,
Jubilant Sykes, Davell Crawford, and the late Marva Wright.
Lyle studied Mass Communications and Music at Xavier University of Louisiana (c/o '91) and
began his broadcasting career as an R&B DJ on New Orleans' based FM98 and simultaneously
transitioned to Gospel radio in 1988 as an announcer on WYLD Radio. He was the host of
"Sunday Morning Inspirations" on PraiseFM 94.9 and host/producer of the station's New
Year's Eve "Top 10 Countdown" each year (until the station reformatted to country western).
His voice has remained in the New Orleans Gospel community on various voice overs for more
than two decades. In 2007, he joined the DJ staff of Crescent City Radio, the online radio station
owned by Loyola University New Orleans. He is host & producer of "The World of Gospel" – a
Wednesday Gospel music show online, with a rapidly growing audience.
Lyle Henderson & Emmanu-EL have traveled to Italy 4 times for a multi-city Italian tour,
including performances at the world famous Umbria Jazz Festival. Lyle has also performed in
various cities in Switzerland, Canada, Jamaica, and countless cities throughout the USA. His
tenor vocals vary in style and ability ~ ranging from the silvery and classical to the gutsy and
soulful, southern tradition of Gospel church music. His two major influences (Daryl Coley and
the late Mahalia Jackson) are exemplified in his varied styles of vocal performance. Spring 2015
marked their 17th annual performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. While his
volunteer and community involvement and his position as President of Pinnacle Entertainment,
Publishing & Management have made it difficult for him to complete his sophomore CD, he
continues to accept tour, performance and ministry engagements because of his passion for the
message in music. His last rigorous tour to date was The Men In Ministry 15 City Tour.
In 2001, members of the Louisiana and New Orleans media began to dub him as the NEW
ORLEANS PRINCE OF GOSPEL. In December 2009, he was nominated for the coveted 2010
Stellar Award and in 2015, he won the NOLA Gospel Award for "Gospel Announcer of the
Year." He has also been the honored nominee and recipient of numerous local and regional
awards to recognize his musical achievements. In 2015, he became the host of "Sunday Morning
Gospel," a 7-hour live Gospel music show on AM 1230 WBOK in New Orleans.
In 2008, Lyle was commissioned by the Disney Animation Film Company to produce and
'Gospelize' a Randy Newman song, called "Dig A Little Deeper." Lyle and his special events
singers, Pinnacle Gospel Choir, are featured in the 2009 release of "The Princess and the Frog"
(film and soundtrack). His latest film involvement to date is "Black & White" produced by
Kevin Costner, starring Mr. Costner and Olivia Spencer.
Prince Lyle is an ordained minister of 24 years, a celebrated New Orleans radio announcer and
Gospel Recording Artist. His title cut from his new CD, "Expectations," as well as other
recorded songs are available for downloads at iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and other sites. The
"Live At Jazz Fest" CD series is available through jazzfestlive.com and, soon to be, wherever
Gospel music is sold. The new CD project, "Expectations," from Lyle Henderson & EmmanuEL
is scheduled to be in stores in March, 2016.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The Spurs' huge fourth-quarter rally helped Gregg Popovich reach the 1,000-win milestone Monday as San Antonio downed the Indiana Pacers 95-93.
Marco Belinelli's baseline jumper with 2.1 seconds left capped win after Popovich became the ninth coach with 1,000 regular-season wins and the third-fastest to achieve the feat. He also joined former Utah coach Jerry Sloan as the only coaches in NBA history to win 1,000 games with one team.
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 19 points. Tim Duncan had 15.
Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant scored 40 points and Russell Westbrook had 26 as the Thunder beat the Nuggets 124-114 to hand Denver its sixth loss in a row.
Durant matched a career best by hitting seven 3-pointers and finished 13 of 19 from the floor. Mitch McGary added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder.
The Nuggets, who have lost 13 of 14, were led by Wilson Chandler's 23 points.
Stephen Curry scored 20 points for Golden State and Leandro Barbosa had 16 off the bench as the Warriors ended the Philadelphia 76ers' four-game home winning streak.
Klay Thompson and former Sixer Andre Iguodala added 13 points apiece for the Warriors (41-9), who have won four of five and two straight after opening their four-game road trip with a loss to the Hawks on Friday.
In Minneapolis, Al Horford scored a season-high 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and DeMarre Carroll added a career-best 26 points to lift the Atlanta Hawks over the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-105.
Paul Millsap had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for the Hawks (43-10), who bounced back from a loss to Memphis the previous night. The NBA-leading Hawks still have not lost back-to-back games since Nov. 18. They shot 51 percent and outscored Minnesota 58-44 in the paint.
Kevin Martin scored 21 points and Shabazz Muhammad had 18 points and eight rebounds for Minnesota.
The Washington Wizards downed the Orlando Magic 96-80 after John Wall fell one point short of his first triple-double of the season, and Marcin Gortat had 14 points and 14 rebounds.
Wall hit a 3-pointer early in the third quarter – the first shot made from beyond the arc by either team – to open an 11-0 run that put Washington in control. He wound up with nine points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds after missing a floater with about 50 seconds left.

The Professional Choice to Support Cognitive Function, Promote Mental Performance and Enhance Physical Capacity
NeuroPro contains a proprietary extract of triterpenoid saponins, derived from ginseng. History has shown that ginseng provides significant and measureable benefits for supporting cognitive function and mental performance, as well as enhancing physical capacity.* With today's ability for detailed scientific analysis, it is possible to understand the function of the triterpenoid saponins within ginseng extracts, and to optimize those for greater benefit. NeuroPro represents this scientific advancement.
The triterpenoid saponins found in ginseng function neurologically via a number of mechanisms. Pre-clinical research indicates that the components support cellular health, helping fight against oxidative stress.* Triterpenoid saponins also exhibit the potential to support neurotransmitters and cell-to-cell signalling pathways which may result in improved concentration and mental performance.*
NeuroPro is one of the most highly concentrated sources of triterpenoid saponins available today. Each capsule contains 45mg of triterpenoid saponins.
The triterpenoid saponin profile contained within NeuroPro has been carefully selected based on ginseng species, source and extraction method to provide the greatest strength for supporting cognitive function and mental performance.* NeuroPro provides maximum benefit for those looking for triterpenoid saponin supplementation.
Your Assurance of Quality
The ingredients in NeuroPro must pass one of the most rigorous quality control protocols in the supplement industry – far greater than most other dietary supplement products on the market today. Tests are performed to determine safety for 67 pesticides or pesticide residues, 25 solvents, heavy metals, bacteria, fungi and yeast. In addition, tests are performed for at least 8 specific triterpenoid saponins in order to ensure a standardized product. Every effort is made to ensure the highest strength, quality and safety of NeuroPro.
NeuroPro is manufactured under government audited, Good Manufacturing Practices. Before NeuroPro leaves the facility, random samples are sent to an external independent laboratory to ensure that the product exceeds the stringent quality standards of the USP (U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention), which are the recommended standard for all supplements. These quality control practices make NeuroPro the quality benchmark for the industry.
NeuroPro is available at our Online Store and by referral from your Health Care Practitioner. Please print this Professional Information Sheet for your Physician or Health Care Practitioner. A detailed scientific package is available upon their request.

Big Apple hotels — the most expensive in the country — are feeling the hurt from Airbnb. It's now cheaper to book a hotel room here than it was this time last year, despite government agencies' efforts to regulate the San Francisco-based company. The average New York City hotel room rate declined in 2015 by 1.7 percent, to $266, the first such drop since 2009, according to hotel-data tracker STR, despite a record number of tourists flocking to New York….

Low pressure 700R4
I bought a beefed up 700R4 in August. I was checking the pressure today, to calibrate the TV cable. I only have 55lbs in Park. Everyting I have read, says
the pressure should be between 90-120. If this is bad, what can I do to correct the situation?
raise the RPM ... see what happens

The villagers obliged. In good spirit they processed, as if it were Sunday, up to the church. There was no service, no sermon, no dancing afterwards on the green, of course, but the visitor got his pictures and the villagers his grateful thanks. The photographer left, Sunday came, and as the bells rang the entire congregation went to church in ordinary dress. Caroline shrugs, a little ruefully: the fragile bubble of belief had burst.
A year later, in 1990, Romania opened its borders to the west. People whose families had been in the village for 800 years slaughtered their pigs, ate up their chickens, locked up and left for Germany.
For centuries, Transylvania was a frontier state, a high and hilly plateau in the crook of the Carpathians, from where a varied population of Hungarians, Germans, Szecklers and Romanians battled and traded with the Ottomans beyond the great mountain range. As a semi-independent state, Transylvania supplied both Poland and Hungary with kings, and exercised religious tolerance long before such a notion became fashionable in the west. Transylvania was Hungary, when Hungary was lost to the Turks, and it was here that the first Romanian books were printed.
Wealth and alarums have shaped the country. An abundance of splendid medieval architecture, unrivalled anywhere in eastern Europe, testifies to the province's frontier role. Magnificent churches are hung with priceless collections of antique turkish carpets, presented by returning merchants in thanksgiving. A walled city on a knoll, from some Wagnerian dream, encloses cobbled streets and teeming window boxes. Avenues of trees mark dusty tracks to villages in the hills. But the decline of the Turkish menace meant the decline of the Turkish trade, and by the 18th century, Habsburg Transylvania was on the road to nowhere. Development ceased. With the publication of Bram Stoker's Dracula, real Transylvania was overtaken by a fiction. Ceded by Hungary to Romania in 1920, but neglected and forgotten, Transylvania is still the jewel of eastern Europe.
Three hours out of Otopeni airport we crossed the Carpathians and entered Transylvania. Dusk was falling as we left the asphalt road for a rocky, potholed track that wound through the hills into the Burzenland. Horse- drawn wagons lumbered by. Peasants with scythes trudged home along the verge. Through a gap in the hill ahead, a great medieval watchtower loomed up, with the bastioned walls of a Gothic church, before we clattered into a low, broad village street, scattering chickens and small children. A stream, bordered by grass, ran down the middle of the street. A woman was working the village pump, and horses drank at the trough. A herd of cattle ambled slowly down the road, turning off one by one as they reached their home-yard after a day in pasture. If this is poverty, by 20th-century standards - by the standards of the last century - it is more than decent. It is a finely spun, well-honed culture of life. The houses are lit by electricity, and several even have satellite TV.
We finally arrived in Viscri, or Weisskirchendorf, in the dark, while the dogs barked and the children chattered invisibly beneath the pear trees. Caroline, the nominal mayoress, disposed us in empty houses round the village, before producing a welcome supper of schnapps, sausages, mash, and pink wine, all home-made. In German and English we talked of gypsies, cookery, schools and poverty. And the following day we unlocked the door to the 14th-century church.
Until Ceausescu's fall, all this area was essentially German. Ever since the Hungarian kings invited German colonists to settle their borders in the 12th century, to work and defend a land prey to Tartar raids and Ottoman incursions, the Transylvanian "Saxons" had formed a bulwark of western Christendom against the Turks. They built towns and villages, tilled the land, embellished their surroundings, their dialects and their art. The cross-currents of their lives met in the church. They adopted Lutheranism eagerly, distinguishing themselves from local Hungarian Catholics as much as from Orthodox Romanians. Their churches grew into expressions of community solidarity: there was not an event, or a festival, that was not celebrated in or around the church. The ever-present danger of Turkish raids enforced a military discipline. The spires were rebuilt as watchtowers; the churchyards were walled, moated, turreted and machicolated, protecting enormous granaries and larders where all the village produce was stored against the possibility of a siege.
For eight centuries, the Transylvania Germans went their own way, unimaginably remote from their land of origin a thousand miles to the north-west; the legend spread that they descended from the children of Hamelin, stolen by the Pied Piper. But for 40 years after the war they, like many other Romanians, began dreaming of escape from the terror state. In 1990 they seized their chance, moving away to Germany in a gathering stampede. Pushed by insecurity, pulled by the prospect of high pay or pensions, an astonishingly self-contained, near-medieval culture disintegrated in the face of modernity.
Caroline is one of the few who stayed. Now in her mid-thirties, she teaches in Romanian at the handsome Habsburg village school. She dispenses medicine, nurses the sick, stands guardian for various German houses which have been empty since the exodus, and with her husband, Walther, keeps her little family self-sufficient in meat, eggs, wool and vegetables. Standing in the empty church, she recalls exactly where the congregation used to sit, the newly confirmed girls, the little children, the elderly women beneath the figure of the angel of death. Beyond an ancient door she shows us the tanzplatz, about 30ft round, enclosed by benches, and the big oak where the band used to play waltzes on Sunday afternoons. This is where she danced with Walther, and was betrothed. This is the world of, say, Jane Austen, or Laurie Lee, parochial but intense, tiny stages on which the gamut of human emotions were played out and where the great movements of history were echoed on an intimate scale, the message refingered to fit local realities, the tune that was played - Schlager waltzes, for the most part, as Caroline recalls - reacting to a whiff of gypsy violins, and the shuffle of Romanian dances, up the street.
The waltz is over now; but village life goes on, embedded here and there with unexpected fragments of the Saxon past. Despite the Saxon exodus, each village still maintains a steana on the surrounding hills, where shepherds live out the summer, making soft cheeses which are carted down to the village every day. Transport is the long wagon, one of the most tractable vehicles in the world. The rubber-tyred cart can surmount any rut or puddle, with the horses sometimes belly-deep in water; and a stockman gave me an impromptu driving lesson which was also a lesson in harmonies - between men and horses, and between the ethnic groups of Transylvania. His tasselled whip never actually left its socket at his side. He had only to twirl the red thong at its tip, or blow a kiss, and the horse broke into a trot. He had only to tug at the reins, and shout "Zuruck! Zuruck!", and the horse backed like a Lippizaner.
With Caroline's help we were able to explore some of the ancient villages of the Burzenland on foot. Some, like Biertan, with one of the most monumental Saxon churches, have been restored, and for a few pounds you can stay in the church-house funded by Unesco money, but most of the village churches are already slipping into decay. From Biertan we launched ourselves over the hills to Mosna. Horse-drawn carts jounced over the grass tracks, and young men walked to their fields through a scatter of wild flowers; how England must have been before the car.
The sheer scale and beauty of the church at Mosna, where again we stayed in empty Saxon village houses, was breathtaking. The 13th-century nave was supported on three pairs of pillars, smooth, fluted and spiralled respectively; the soaring Gothic windows were protected by overhead ravelins, from which boiling pitch could have been tipped down on a Turkish war party; and as for the watchtower, I soon gave up trying to climb the creaking oak ladders that zigzagged without much visible support to the gallery way overhead.
In villages reached only by paths and cart tracks we met old Saxons who had stayed on. One elderly man showed me a weathered stone in the vestry, which boys had to carry to the top of the nearby hill and down again before they could marry. A handful of Saxons were left, he said, from a congregation which recently numbered hundreds; but why should he leave? This was where he was born, and the very cats and dogs of the village knew him. He had never been to the pearl of Saxon Transylvania, Sighisoara, 30 miles away. Romanians
and gypsies had moved in alongside, but apart from a mild imprecation of gypsy farming (these crops, he said, were too low and late), he preferred to stay on.
After the crises of the last 10 years - the emigrating Saxons, the new gypsy families who drink, the collapse of agriculture in a country where, for reasons which still defeat me, local sunflower oil is more expensive than a German import - the defensive, hierarchical, enveloping architecture of villages like Mosna and Viscri is under threat. A few of these churches have been singled out for preservation; but dozens survive through the efforts of their decimated congregations, and will not, I think, last all that long. The new Romanian and gypsy settlers in the Saxon villages are disconnected from the architecture of Protestantism, buildings which were conceived on a grand scale in times of medieval wealth, then cared for by tenacious communities over centuries. Theft is unavoidable - altarpieces by such masters as Weit Stoss, who also worked on the church in Cracow, have already begun to disappear. Perhaps more significant is the tilt of a 16th century door that has lost its hinge, the broken glass that admits the birds, the slipping tile, the rotting step, and the threatening sight of courtyards growing wild.
After clambering up a rustic staircase at Viscri, I found, in a low, oak-beamed room, a long side of bacon hanging from the rafters. It had dissolved from the inside; outwardly it still looked good enough to eat. A bunch of burdock on the string preserved it from the mice. Knowledge of burdock: knowledge of ham: conformity to the medieval dictate that every family should keep its store in the protective walls of the church; only whoever hung it there was gone.

Over the ocean, mall scavenging is a fashionable birthday party game in which groups of twentysomethings set each other challenges to get picture proof of activities during the day and compare visual notes later. Taken as they shop, these include photos of riding the escalators, napkins from the food court or pictures of trying on clothing in shops.
Meanwhile, Uniqlo in Westfield Stratford City is injecting excitement into the shopping experience by staging a lost sheep hunt. There is just a single foot-high wooden sheep (inset) wearing a Uniqlo jumper still left to find. If you stumble across it, take it to the store and you will be rewarded with a Uniqlo merino jumper.
In another challenge, hidden within the mall is a golden bowling pin which, if discovered, will win you a year's pass to the All Star Lanes bowling alley. Alternatively, anyone with a smart phone can scan QR code stickers for the Tinc stationery brand from October 2 - and have a chance of winning items from Tinc's latest collection.
Jos Baker, Tinc's co-founder, says that creating surprises for shoppers is the best way to spread the word: "We felt that Westfield exudes a similar creative energy to Tinc; it is a fresh and modern environment. We are all about surprise, and thought a QR Tinc treasure hunt is a great way to ignite interest."
And there is a further competition under way on Westfield's new Facebook page. Users can post a photo of London, choosing from eight themes - including Picnic, Forties Swing and Landmark - and those whose pictures get the most votes will
win cash to shop with.
The treasure is waiting - seek and you shall shop.

Chrome: -webkit-linear-gradient Firefox: -mox-linear-gradient Safari: -webkit-linear-gradient (nighty build, for <5.1 use -webkit-gradient(linear,...)) Opera: -o-linear-gradient IE: filter(DXImageTransform) (or for 10: -ms-linear-gradient) Surprisingly XenForo doesn't support them. If you would like to include a gradient background into a style property you'll get into a big trouble like a huge mess after you save a template with gradients in property. It happens because we should use a background-image property for gradients which is already supported by XenForo but allows you to use only one instance of it in a property. So when you save a template all your previous background images are erased and there is only one. What I request is to include a basic support for gradients in XenForo. No need to create some new interface inside Style settings, just a property support. Thanks. Concept:

text: I see from the stocking schedule that the DH section of the Ararat is going to be stocked Monday. Thinking about heading up that way later in the week. I've never fished the Ararat and am new at fly fishing altogether. Can anyone suggest patterns that might work this time of year? Any other suggestions as well would be greatly appreciated!

Detention of U.S. and UK diplomats in Zimbabwe
On June 5, 2008, diplomatic staff from both the United States and the United Kingdom were attacked and abducted by Zimbabwean security forces. Five Americans and four British diplomats were among the victims.[1] Additional diplomats from the European Union and Japan, the Netherlands and Tanzania were also detained. [2] The diplomats, including the American Ambassador James D. McGee, were investigating violence in the country, as the next round of the Presidential election starts. Some diplomats managed to flee from the vehicles as they were stopped at a rural road block on the way to Harare.
International reaction[edit]
United Kingdom[edit]
The British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Miliband said
They were going about their business properly registered as diplomats. I am pleased to say they are all safe and sound and unharmed, and there was no violence involved. This gives us a window onto the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans, because this sort of intimidation is something that is suffered daily, especially by those working with opposition groups. It is a window into lives which, in some cases, are marked by brutal intimidation, by torture and, in 53 cases documented in the past few weeks, by death. [3]
United States[edit]
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said
It's outrageous and unacceptable. While the immediate incident has been resolved it will not be forgotten. This did not just happen. This wasn't 40 people standing by the side of the road who decided to take this on.[3]
McCormack also stated that the US intended to take this to the Security Council.[3]
