My Reread of the Little House books part 1
A few weeks ago I posted about how I was taking a class on Laura Ingalls Wilder's early works (see the post here). The class has ended and I have finished my re-read of the first four 'Little House' books. I have read each of these books countless times but this was the first time I have read them as an adult.
I loved reading these stories again. The illustrations are beautiful and each book is as wonderful as I remember it being. I've been trying to come up with a favorite of these four and I just can't. I do really lean toward Little House on the Prairie because I love the descriptions of the family setting up their homestead but I don't think I could choose a true favorite of these four. Farmer Boy was a little less fun to read because the edition I read didn't have any illustrations in it; Garth Williams illustrations help make these books great so I was really bummed to realize that the copy of Farmer Boy I got from the library didn't have any.
It was strange to read these books as an adult because I noticed things that I wouldn't have noticed as a child. On the Banks of Plum Creek has a lot of fun little stories that help make up the book as a whole but it also shows how poor the family was, how much they were relying on their wheat crop and how devastating it was when they lost it. There were a couple of scenes where I cringed as I watched Pa Ingalls go on about how they could afford everything when they wheat was sold and seeing him buy a lot on credit because they could easily pay for it with their wheat crop. Knowing how the story ended just broke my heart and showed me how precarious the family's situation really was.
I was also shocked by just how hard the Ingalls family worked. They had a home set up in Wisconsin, left it and went to Kansas, built a functioning home there, left and built a new one in Minnesota. The amount of work that went into building a home and maintaining it was astronomical and then to have to start over and over must have just been overwhelming at times.
Farmer Boy is a little different than the other three books as it focuses on Laura's husband, Almanzo's, childhood. I love this book because of the descriptions of the food. Oh my goodness, I want to live at Almanzo's house in this book because it is non-stop delicious food (at least that is the way it is portrayed in the book). Almanzo's family was much better off financially than Laura's and it is pretty obvious. That's not to say that the Wilder's didn't work as hard as the Ingalls, they just had more luxuries and a lot better food.
Overall, I had so much fun with this re-read and I really look forward to reading these with Julia when she's older. The second half of the course starts in April and I can't wait to re-read the rest of the series!

I know that I've said it before, but I love that you're rereading these! And well, am thinking that a goal of mine for 2015 needs to be to reread them as well.ReplyDelete

One of my favorite MPB records.
I found this record accidentally when digging through the big staples of vinyl from a street merchant in Brazil, it grabbed my attention cause of the cover artwork, but I forgot to listen to – just because he had so much awesome stuff. I remembered the record a few days later, tried to find it again, but without success, I even couldn´t remember the name of the artist. I described the artwork to the guy and he immediately started to lionize about the record. Well, I really wanted that record now, but where the hell was it? We almost searched one hour for it and as we already wanted to give up, I turned my spotlight on another record, Jorge Ben´s "A Tábua De Esmeralda". Well, I will buy this one, let´s see hows the vinyl condition. And, believe it or not, the Sergio Sampaio record was inside the slipcover behind the Jorge Ben record. Unpossible to see it if just flipping through the record boxes. Finally and the record is a direct hit.
In the late sixties Raul Seixas spotted the talent of Sergio Sampaio and started to work with him. Seixas also produced the first full-length "eu quero é botar…" from 1973, which contains a wide range of musical influences: Blues, Rock´n´Roll, Samba, Choro, to name just a few. The title track already was a big hit in the year before and Sampaio also was part of the legendary Raul Seixas second record "Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista". He wrote some of the songs and also sang besides Raul, Edy Star and Miriam Batucada. So the expectations were really high for his debut and almost the whole music press received it with disappointment, it also didn´t sell very good either.
Maybe it was the result of his often "difficult" relations with the press, who used to illustrate him as a eccentric person, but maybe he was just a young and inexperienced guy, not used to deal with the vampires from the press. The music definitively is a unique blend of traditionalism with the fever of the rock guitar. The recordings include one of the finest musicians around in Brazil at this time: Ivan "Mamão" Conti (from Azymuth) and Wilson da Neves on drums, Zé Roberto on Piano and Moog.
His later release were much better admitted from the press, but Sergio never gained the attention from the public he deserved. Although the title track did play a big role in the cultural revolt of the student movement against the Brazilian military regime. Originally not intended by Sampaio, the students saw their own feelings and experiences reflected in the lyrics.
Sergio Sampaio died in May 1994.

All of you could already convince yourself from the qualities of Bid, here he also participates and the band name is setting the direction: Funk how you like it, with Portuguese singing . To be honest, I don´t know what to write about this release from Brazil, its well made modern funk (which means: some Hip Hop, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Electro influences and so on…), just check out the vid, I am too lazy today to write anymore.
Fanga – sira ba
Posted August 28, 2010on:
For the last ten years or so, the collective Fanga has been on the up, blending Afrobeat, Jazz and Funk. An alliance of complementary personalities and cosmopolitan energies, Fanga first took form in 1998. Returning from Africa, Serge Amiano brings back a few vinyls of the likes of Fela, CS Crew and CK Mann that he plays to the Burkinabese rapper Korbo. Amiano being a hip-hop producer naturally takes on the role of the group's artistic director right from the start.
The discovery of this urban African music of the 1970s quickly forms the basis of a shared passion. Fanga brings out its first six tracks in 2001, the group records "Afrokalyptik" in 2003, its first album. The following album "Natural Juice" comes out in 2007, warmly received and with much acclaim. Fanga is not only highly praised by Gilles Peterson but also the New York magazine Wax Poetics.
Despite being firmly rooted in certain Nigerian and Ghanean musical traditions (those of the 1970s' afro-beat and high-life) Fanga is equally at home to musical concoction, as demonstrated by the samples and other hip-hop and electronic ingredients, not to mention the vocals in Dioula, English and French. The gritty horns and earthy analogue keyboards shape the group's sound whilst Korbo has no hesitation in embracing his Mandingue roots.
Brought up on the raw energy of hip-hop, the group reposes equally on certain values that even today can only be found in Africa, a sort of candour and instinctive sense of rhythm which lends such freshness to Fanga. This urge to respond when faced with a base emotion, however fleeting, has governed their musical progression since the beginning of the 2000s.
These guys have a bit more grit in their grooves than most, still very much in the best 70s-inspired Afro Funk styles you'd expect, but with a nice edge in some of the rhythmic undercurrents, almost as if their new recordings were actually some lost indie label sets from years back!
Bid – bambas & biritas Vol. 1

Killer gem from Brazil!!
This is a widely unknown, but excellent and charming conglomerate of Hip Hop, electronic music, Funk, Soul and Jazz with the finest Brazilian music traditions like Samba. Eduardo Bidlovski (Bid) is the composer and producer of this 2005 album and he not only has created a bunch of smooth, but never dull songs. Bid also assembled extraordinary guests for "Bambas & Biratas". Black Rio Soul legend Carlos Daffé opens the record with his warm voice on the catchy tune "não pára", while Samba Queen Elza Soares later proves she also fits perfectly on relaxed tunes. But this is not a record that tries to gather attentions with Brazilian singer legends, the majority are contemporary artists and Brazil has a rich scene which fuses modern influences with traditional aspects. Rapper Black Alien, whizz kid Chico Science or everybody's darling Seu Jorge are a few of them and also do participate. All in all 56 musicians were involved in this highly recommend work. Vol. 2 is announced for end of the year.

While music enthusiasts are digging Ethiopian funk and soul of the '60s and '70s, some releasing mixes of their germs, David Schommer gathers some musicians in New York with an Ethiopian background and records an awesome fusion of Ethiopian roots and Hip Hop. Schommer is deep into Ethiopian culture and music. With Ethiopian-American Amharic rapper Maki Siraj, Bahia-born percussionist and Stomp cast-member Davi Vieira, cellist Dave Eggar, Ethiopian bassist Henok Tenesgen, and Malian kora-player Balla Tounkara he created a beat-driven trans-atlantic collaboration. With his incredibly clean programming abilities, Schommer created one of the most unique takes on modern Ethiopian music. Hip-hop and soul vocal hooks are scattered throughout, but the overall effect is a caravan of nomadic spirits banging on heavy percussion, penetrative bass loops and catchy harmonies. Innovative stuff that blends African, North-American and a few Brazilian influences. Recommend to check out.

You don´t miss anything cause of this small cover, it´s so boring and lacking in ideas, let´s concentrate on the music and Helge Schneider.
Helge Schneider is a phenomenon. As a highschool-dropout he toured for years as a little-known Jazz musician and stand-up comedian through small clubs in Germany, besides he started acting in his own movies. Of course produced with almost no budget and full off extremely anarchic and absurd humour, in two words: uproariously funny! But his humour deeply roots in German language and I think it sadly do not translate well into other languages.
Schneider soon gathered a small, but die-hard fanbase with these movies and his comedian tours which always come along with a lot of live Jazz. And then in the mid-90s, from almost one day to the other, Helge Schneider became widely popular in Germany, his movies were Blockbusters, he played in front of thousands. And he still kept his anarchic parodies, the sudden and unexpected use of infantile language, his Dada-esque absurdity and crude humour. Of course he acts milder on the big screen, but not that much and until today he is one of the very very few "comedians" I don´t immediately switch away on national TV.
And besides all that Helge Schneiders records fine jazz music, they aren´t very wide-spread, I also bet a lot people even don´t know he plays jazz. "Laut!" is a session recording with The Firefuckers (Thomas Alkier, Thomy Jordi, Eric St-Laurent) and Schneider playing the BR3 (besides piano and melodica). Grooving organ Jazz with Rock and Blues influences, always laid back instrumentalists with a lot of fun. Nothing mind blowing, but a charming Jazz session.

Way too long no sweet rocksteady at urbanology, here is a killer compilation, a must have. Bunny Lee, one of the greatest Jamaican producers aka "Striker", who had one Rock Steady hit after another in the hot Jamaican summers in the late 60s, when rocksteady was the big new thing on the isle. Out of this most productive era the well made compilation presents 25 killer tracks produced by Bunny Lee. You get all the big names: Slim Smith, Alton Ellis, Sensations, Errol Dunkley, Uniques – but also artists like Webber Sisters with their terrific female rocksteady groover "What I´m gonna do". I bet only rocksteady fanatics knew them before. CD and vinyl are added by good liner notes, one reason more to get this germ.

Every year I make the same three Christmas Treats to give away. They're very simple (a little time consuming) but very delicious, and they look pretty impressive (well two of them do, the other one a baby could make, but it's still delicious!).
The Easiest- Pretzel hugs with M&Ms. I like these the MOST with hugs, you can use plain chocolate, or the peppermint white chocolate (those are my second favorite). Preheat your oven to 250. get some cookie sheets and put parchment paper down. Unwrap all your hugs, place them on a whole pretzel. Pop them in the oven for about 3-5 minutes (you don't want the chocolate completely melted, but you don't want it too hard, experiment a little). Remove from oven, and place an M&M in center. I love these because kids can help, and they are difficult to mess up!
A Bit More Difficult (but still easy!)- Peppermint bark. I love to make this because I love how it looks! It's so festive, and Christmasy. First cover the back of a cookie sheet with foil. Then melt 15 oz of white chocolate in a double broiler and spread 1/3 onto your tin foil in a rectangle pattern. Crush up peppermint candies and spread over white chocolate. Chill for 15 minutes. Mix 8 oz of dark chocolate, (I like guitard brand) with 6 TBSP heavy cream, and 2 tsp peppermint oil (I like to use the oil, but you can use extract), in saucepan over medium heat until melted and combined. Pour over white chocolate quickly (it's going to try and melt your white chocolate!) and spread to cover. Chill for 25 minutes. Reheat remaining white chocolate, pour on top of dark chocolate, spread evenly, and sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermint candy. Chill, chill, chill (I chilled overnight). Remove cookie sheet, use pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into squares. Looks SO pretty!
Sort of Difficult but Mostly Time Consuming- TRUFFLES! This is a recipe I use from THE PIONEER WOMAN, I have made these for the last 4 years, and every time I make them, I am amazed at how WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS they are... It's like I forget or something.... I'm not going to copy and paste the recipe, but I will tell you my modifications. I use Guitard semi sweet chocolate for the coating instead of milk chocolate (I don't care for milk chocolate). I also add about 1 TBSP of coconut oil to the dipping chocolate (not the truffle ball chocolate). I've made these in numerous flavors! Orange Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Pistachio (it's good, trust me), Chocolate mint, but my favorite is always the dark chocolate sea salt.... I love the mixture of sweet and salty.. These are literally SO DELICIOUS! You must make them!! You must!! Just don't complain when you gain 5 lbs from eating an entire cookie sheet of truffles (these barely make it out my door to give away).
What are you favorite Christmas Treats to make?
What other flavors of truffles should I try?

Hello, fellow stampers! Today is my 3rd and final Reveal for the Jessica Lynn Original Mason Jar set! And of the 3 that I made, this one is my favorite! I love doing tags...I'm sure I've mentioned that somewhere before...lol...and I love pink! Here's a picture of what's in the set:
Close Up of Tag
As you can see, I have sort of a Mixed Media thing going on here. I used my Silhouette to cut out the bottom and top layers of the tag. Then I used my Gelatos to color up the top layer, and then used a stencil to spread texture paste all over it. Before it had a chance to dry, I added glass glitter all over the top, pressed it in slightly (be careful! it's sharp), and then used my heat gun to dry it. I loved the effect of the glass glitter. I also used Glossy Accents on the buttons and the little garden home to give it some shine. The butterfly applique is from KPKre8tions and the pink background paper with the pink ribbon are from Paper Temptress
This adorable set of stamps can be shipped FREE if pre-ordered with the also NEW Hawaiian Vacation Brentwood Set! But hurry! Free shipping ends tonight! I adore this set of stamps. They are very well made, and the sizes of some of them are so cute! However, if you only want the Hawaiian set, it will be shipped free when pre-ordered, by itself.
To learn more about the Hawaiian stamp set, follow this link to a video that Jessica has made:

Karambar Glacier Area, Various Ascents, Previously Unreported. One of the least-visited regions in the Karakoram is the northwestern part of the Batura Muztagh. After extensive investigation in Alpine and Himalayan journals, we decided on the Karambar Glacier area where there are a lot of interesting 6000-meter peaks, most of them unclimbed until our trip. The highest peak in this area (and the only 7000-meter peak) is Kampire Dior (7143m) at the head of the Karambar Glacier. First climbed in 1975 by a Japanese expedition (1976 AAJ, p. 549), it was the only summit of interest for many years in spite of the fact that it is located in an area with hundreds of interesting possibilities.
Dieter Rüelker, Frank Polte, Joerg Ehrlich (leader) and I started on July 28, 1998, from Berlin. We established Base Camp on August 3 on a sunny grass plateau in Karambar Ilag (3300m), where the local farmers live during summer time. The inhabitants of this small village were very friendly, and the oldest of them even remembered the last mountaineering expedition that had been here in 1977.
We spent two days in reconnaissance trips along the Karambar Glacier and the side valleys, taking photos and drawing a sketch map of the area, which is not covered by good maps and is sometimes even shown wrong on the available maps. After more reconnaissance on August 11, we established one high camp at about 4300 meters near a small glacial lake at the head of Kutshkulin Valley. East of this beautiful camp site, the main Kutshkulin Glacier turns toward an ice-covered wall that rises to a prominent summit of ca. 6000 meters (which we would later, in agreement with the local people, name Kutshkulin Sar). After some hundred meters of easy approach from our camp, the Kutshkulin Glacier becomes heavily crevassed and rugged; the first attempt by Frank and me failed at about 4600 meters after hours of crossing, climbing and traversing. Dieter and Joerg tried it the next day, reaching about 4900 meters at the north side of the glacier very close to the steep rocky walls of the neighboring mountain ridge. After one rest day, we started in the early morning and reached a platform on the glacier at about 4900 meters, where we established our second High Camp.
The weather changed completely, forcing our descent to BC in heavy snow. On August 18, we started again from Karambar Ilag to reach High Camp I and, one day later, High Camp II. We started our attempt at 2 a.m. on August 20. We crossed the bergschrund roped up, then climbed the first 200 meters on ice up to 60 degrees before reaching a snowy ridge on the icy northwest face. We climbed about 12 pitches, belaying from deadman anchors because of insecure snow conditions and the absolute pre-dawn darkness. Four more pitches over crevassed terrain led us to the saddle, a big snow plateau just below the final summit pyramid, which we reached at 8 a.m. and where we left our bivouac gear. It took us about two hours to climb the last two pitches on unconsolidated snow up to 60 degrees, with the snow conditions getting worse with every step. Breaking through a one-meter cornice, I reached the summit at about 2 p.m. Celebrating this probable first ascent, we named the mountain Kutshkulin Sar. Our altimeters showed its elevation to be between 5860 and 5990 meters— just inside the permit-free category. Due to rapidly worsening weather, we hurried to descend.
We were back at camp after 19 hours of continuous climbing and one hour of searching for our snow-covered tents. We descended to BC the next day, leaving the high camps for another summit attempt at the head of Kutshkulin Glacier.
We rested at Karambar Ilag for three days of bad weather before ascending to High Camp II again. There we had to wait one more day for somewhat acceptable weather before ascending further up the Kutshkulin Glacier on August 28. We carried rock gear for the expected summit pitches on our next mountain but were surprised to gain altitude without any technical difficulties. Snow and ice up to 50 degrees led to the corniced summit, where we had a great view of the whole mountain range in beautiful weather. We rested a long time on the summit before descending to our camp. We named the peak Sax Sar ("Saxon Spire") after our home region. Though some maps show its altitude to be between 6100 and 6432 meters, we registered its altitude at 5999 meters.
Though our time was nearly over, the weather still seemed to be good, so Dieter and I tried to make a speed ascent on another nice mountain in the upper Kutshkulin area. Starting at 4 a.m., we reached the ca. 5980-meter summit at 10 a.m. after having climbed about 15 pitches of straightforward 50- to 55-degree ice. Just as we climbed onto the broad corniced summit ridge to reach the very top, the whole cornice broke off five meters away from us. We profited from this by getting a spectacular look northeastward down onto the far glacier through the new hole. The weather was incredibly good, offering a view of the High Pamirs (peaks Marx and Engels) in the far northwest to Nanga Parbat in the far southeast. To the west, the massive Koz Sar dominated the scenery. Before descending the same route, we named this third summit Yeti Sar (who knows who broke the summit cornice just before we reached it?). Then we climbed down, removed our High Camp II completely and reached Camp I the same evening. The next day, Dieter and I carried loads from Camp I down to BC, from which we descended on August 31 with the help of the local farmers and their donkeys.

So, many of you don't exactly know about this new ruling. It went through the Supreme Court and all, so I thought I'd discuss it a bit and get some of the nastiness out of the water.
Last week, the Supreme Court overturned a law that said Rated M games could not be sold to minors. With that being said, everyone things Little Timmy Tot is going to be able to go out and get Call of Duty at his local store just like that.
Most companies, including mine (gamestop), have policies which prohibit minors from buying Rated M games. What the Supreme Court is doing is basically saying "you won't go to jail under us for selling them…what your company does with you is their own business." Just like kids getting into Rated-R movies from accidental slip ups doesn't mean that the employee is going to get a lawsuit.
At Gamestop, if you still have to be 17 and up to buy Rated M games. Same thing goes for Target and Walmart. Now, companies can begin to turn a blind eye (and go against their policies) but it is highly unlikely that things will change.
And even so, parents should step up their own game. If you give Little Timmy Tot who's only 12 $80 and just send him into a store for games, you're a bad parent. If that store doesn't care about what they sell (because we shouldn't have to be kid monitors while you're a lazy ass), and Little Timmy Tot gets Mortal Kombat and tries to rip his little sister apart, Little Timmy Tot should be institutionalized, and you should be put in jail and lose all custody.
Game makers should be allowed to make whatever they want to make. Freedom of expression. Parents should learn to do their job and be PARENTS.
…Either way. If you go to Gamestop, Walmart, or Target to get games, chances are you're still going to get carded. So don't even think about trying to slide one past us. We're not stupid, and we aren't going to lose our jobs for your homeopathic nature.

James' Amoonguss is the second Pokemon that James obtained in the Unova Region. James' Amoonguss first appeared in "BW111: New Places... Familiar Faces!", debuting along with Jessie's Frillish when Team Rocket attacked Ash and his friends for the first time since "Operation Tempest" and the temporary retreat back to Kanto. It was used to capture Ash's Pikachu and Natasha's Tepig, but was defeated by Ash's Unfezant. James's Amoonguss is often used alongside Jessie's Woobat in a couple of episodes.
Known Moves EditEdit
|Stun Spore
|New Places... Familiar Faces!
|Body Slam
|New Places... Familiar Faces!
|Hidden Power
|New Places... Familiar Faces!
|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
Trivia EditEdit
- Excluding his temporary Pokemon, Amoonguss is James' fourth Grass type. Amoonguss is also his third Poison type.
- It was the only Unova Pokémon that was capable of taking down Ash's Pikachu with one hit from Body Slam.
- Unlike James' past Grass type Pokémon, Amoonguss does not show any special kind of affection when it is sent out.

Vivaldi 1.4 leads Scheduled themes a
In early August appeared the version 1.3 of the browser Vivaldi . Those brought plenty of new customization options and other optimizations for the very young browser itself. The developers are increasingly want to shorten the distances between the version updates: Appeared Vivaldi 1.2 in June and version 1.3 then with about two months distance early August, now comes already Vivaldi 1.4. Again it hails this advanced customization options. sound Quite interesting is the "Scheduled Themes" that Vivaldi could certainly stand out from other browsers.
The idea behind the Scheduled themes is as simple as practical: you can in the settings specify that the optics or the theme of Vivaldi to the times of the day depends. Do you want to be, for example during the day with a gaudy Theme road and at night with a muted, dark Design: The Scheduled Themes make smoothly possible. The periods in which the respective themes are connected, you can set yourself.
Vivaldi is thus currently the only browser that allows such, automatically changing the themes. Also on the web panels has however tinkered with Vivaldi. About web panels can be individual websites store on the side panels and call there. Handy if you want to be on the road in social networks and other sites, for example, without having to change tabs simultaneously. From Vivaldi 1.4 now can adjust the widths of the individual Web Panels.
vivaldi 1.4
Moreover, Vivaldi integrated 1.4 a useful option for the clumsy users among you: Accidentally Closed Tabs can be opened again. So there is the possibility at least to get the last closed tab by clicking on the trash icon from the Nirvana back.
All other information about Vivaldi 1.4 can be found here . Have fun with the latest version of the browser!Viewing:-267

The Hauberg Civic Center - The Hauberg family called this the Great House, but today it is known as Hauberg Civic Center. It was given to the City of Rock Island in 1956 by the children of the Haubergs. Little had changed from the time it was first occupied in 1911. The Hauberg descendants even left many family furnishings for local citizens to enjoy.
It is most fitting that the home designed for a lumber baron's daughter features many different varieties of wood trim, including mahogany, oak, walnut and birch. The several fireplace mantels are works of art in themselves. Iridescent glass tiles depict a tulip garden in one, while Rookwood tiles with a tulip motif are used in the master bedroom. The living room features an Aeolian pipe organ that can direct sound throughout the house. It's not an ordinary pipe organ, either, it will play automatically!
The 7 acre wooded landscape, currently undergoing restoration, is a masterpiece of Jens Jensen's philosophy of woodland design. Created from a once featureless hillside, it has meadows, a fire circle, and a stream with an arched bridge. All is accessed by a winding brick driveway (no motorized vehicles permitted). There is even a terraced garden that once provided a variety of fruits for the family and neighbors.
The large garage/stable building is largely intact, complete with an apartment on the second story. It appears to have been inspired by the German "Haubarg" style of farm building and perhaps was designed by architect Spencer as a sly reference to honor the Hauberg name. He had traveled extensively in Europe and was a scholar of European styles.
Friends of Hauberg Civic Center is a non-profit group that was created in 2016 to restore this historic home and promote its use for both civic and private activities. Tours are also available! Proceeds from tours and private events go towards restoration efforts.

Your Fertility®
When should I see a fertility specialist?
When you really want to have a baby, the wait time, however short or long, seems endless. Chances are, if you are not pregnant in the first several weeks of trying, a dozen questions cross your mind: Why am I not pregnant yet? Am I ovulating normally? Is my partner's sperm count normal? What's wrong with us? It turns out that the time to conceive varies greatly between different couples. While it is important not to get unduly stressed about taking some time to conceive, it is also important not to lose time in figuring out any health issues that might be interfering with your family building plans.
Below are good reasons to see a fertility specialist if you and/or your partner:
When it comes to seeing a fertility specialist, sometimes the sooner is indeed the better. Women are starting to seek infertility consultation at a younger age, mainly due to increased health awareness. Sometimes instincts work best. If you believe you would just like to get yourself tested and make sure your fertility profile is on the right track, we encourage you to consult your primary healthcare physician or your OB/GYN. Both can advise you on how to chart your cycle, time your intercourse and in general, how to gear your lifestyle towards having a baby.
At Univfy, we know that every woman has a unique fertility profile, and we want to help you tailor your fertility journey and get the best out of your fertility doctor appointments. Learn more about the Univfy IVF Success Program which provides you with access to resources, scientifically proven online IVF prediction tests with free updates or retests for 12 months, and overall guidance for your fertility journey.

If we are to believe the rhetoric of the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Act that is slowly moving through parliament, councils will soon need to give greater scrutiny to non-core activities, including tourism expenditure. There is increasing public dissatisfaction of councils continually picking their pockets and an awareness that councils should be focusing on core services. So will this place the network of 90 odd i-Sites under threat?
i-Sites are "nice to have". The buildings are generally well maintained and they sit prominently on highly visual, valuable land. Only a couple are able to stand up on their own two feet, while the majority bleed money and are required to be subsidised by ratepayers. Taxpayers also get to chip-in by covering the operational costs of the i-Site's mother-ship, VIN inc.
The core function of i-Sites is to provide a holding pen for brochures to gather dust, give-out maps and provide a job creation scheme for earnest, well meaning folk that would love to run their own tourism business. i-Sites also act as a booking agency for tourism and attractions with a wide and varied conversion rate success between centres.
As many private businesses are aware, times are changing. Tourists are more savvy and prefer to connect directly with tourism based businesses.
International visitors are arriving into the country with a wealth of information that they have already gleaned from the internet. Any tourist trolling around New Zealand can easily trip across numerous WiFi sites to connect on-the-go and mobile data is becomming less eyewateringly expensive.
Unsurprisingly, use of new forms of technology by visitors continues to increase, particularly WiFi, Smart Phones and mobile phones.
Tourism businesses themselves have also changed by providing interactive websites and booking systems that are easily accessible. And if tourists wish to interact with a human, there a plenty of options available to them; especially when they arrive at a location outside an i-Site's limited retail hours. Motels are a good example of a network of businesses that are open 7-days a week, 365-days of the year that can offer local advice, make reciprocal bookings and offer directions.
With the demand for i-Sites dwindling, is the writing is on the wall? Are i-Sites fast becoming an costly, quaint relic of a bygone era?
And is it time for councils to exit i-Sites and allow these "businesses" to fold into the private sector?
ATEED in Auckland are no strangers to questionable tourism investment, but can at least be congratulated in identifying dodgy ROI with some of their i-Site network...
Five visitor information centres in Auckland are to shut with the loss of 20 full and part-time jobs. The centres are to close in Takapuna, Orewa, Pukekohe, Kumeu and Bombay.Source: Click HERE
Last month Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development announced plans to restructure its i-Site visitor centres after reviewing the 12 it inherited from former legacy councils two years ago.
They signalled five centres were likely to close as a result. If the centres remained open, ATEED said they would lose about $2.7 million over the next four years and so will close on December 14.
ATEED chief executive Brett O'Riley said the affected staff would be given "redeployment priority" for suitable and current roles within his organisation and it would work with other council linked groups to help find them work.
The remaining seven visitor centres at Auckland airport's international and domestic terminals, SkyCity, Princes Wharf, Waiheke Island, Warkworth and Devonport will remain, with ATEED looking to improve their performance.
O'Riley said ATEED would work with Local Boards and tourism operators to help fill the void caused by the closures.
"We intend developing a new commercial model for these areas possibly involving local Auckland Council assets such as service centres and libraries and greater use of technology, along with possible partnering with the private sector," he said.
According to the latest Tourism New Zealand visitor experience survey, tourists were accessing key tourism information and making bookings on their own devices, with smartphone use up 65 per cent in the last year and iPad use up 19 per cent.
The same survey showed i-Site use had dropped 27 per cent in the past two years.

I am an enthusiastic public relations professional with years of experience dating all the way back to my days at Texas Tech University's School of Mass Communications. Since those days, I've acquired a vast array of experience in education, professional sports, nonprofit, corporate, agency work, restaurants, print media and the web in Dallas, Texas.
Professionally, I am interested in strategic social media, media relations, external communications and all things digital. Lucky for me, I just started working as an account executive for a digital media agency – QuickSilver Interactive Group!
Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
I am a career changer. Even though I started my career in PR and marketing, I spent most of my professional career as a high school English teacher before losing my job to budget cuts. That unexpected curve ball was the catalyst for a complete 180 in my professional life and I proceeded to start all over again and pursue my dream of working in PR. That meant going back to school, waiting tables, taking on internships and any odd job I could find to pay the bills and generally living like a 22 year old college kid all over again. The difference was that I was not 22 and I had a husband, a mortgage and a baby on the way. How did I get through all of this? I followed the advice of Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge – "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome." But most importantly, I worked hard and believed in myself.
Since starting all of this, I have been able to represent and work with some outstanding brands in travel, tourism and consumer lifestyle products as well as politics and the nonprofit sector. I also served as the teaching assistant for Samra Bufkins, APR, at UNT's Mayborn School of Journalism in Denton (and who also happens to be the Ethics Chairperson for PRSA Dallas) where I help her with her senior-level PR communications and social media classes.
But I'm not all work and no play. In my "free" time, I am into reading, running, blogging, photography and Pinterest-inspired DIY home projects. I also love cooking, traveling, shoe shopping and spending time with my family.

The Allen Telescope Array (ATA), formerly known as the One Hectare Telescope (1hT) is a radio telescope array dedicated to astronomical observations and a simultaneous Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).[1][2] The array is situated at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, Script error: No such module "convert". northeast of San Francisco, California.
Originally developed as a joint effort between the SETI Institute and the Radio Astronomy Laboratory (RAL) at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkley) with funds obtained from an initial US$11.5 million donation by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the project completed the first phase of construction and become operational on 11 October 2007 with 42 antennas (ATA-42), after Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) pledged an additional $13.5 million to support the construction of the first and second phases.[3][4]
Though overall Allen has contributed more than $30 million to the project, the project has not succeeding in building the 350 six metre (19.7 feet) dishes originally conceived,[5] and suffered an operational hiatus due to funding shortfalls between April and August 2011.[6][7][8][9] Subsequently, UC Berkeley exited the project, completing divestment in April 2012. The facility is now managed by SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute), an independent, nonprofit research institute.[10]
In August 2014 the installation was threatened by a forest fire in the area and was briefly forced to shut down, but ultimately emerged largely unscathed.[11]
First conceived by SETI pioneer Frank Drake, the idea has been a dream of the SETI Institute for years. However, it was not until early 2001 that research and development commenced after a donation of $11.5 million by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. In March 2004, following successful completion of a three-year research and development phase, the SETI Institute unveiled a three-tier construction plan for the telescope. Construction began right after, due to the pledge of $13.5 million by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) to support the construction of the first and second phases. The SETI Institute named the telescope in his honor. Overall Paul Allen has contributed more than $30 million to the project.
The ATA is a centimeter-wave array that pioneers the Large-Number Small-Diameter concept of building radio telescopes. Compared to a large dish antenna, large numbers of smaller dishes are cheaper for the same collecting area. However, to get similar sensitivity, the signals from all telescopes must be combined. This requires high performance electronics, and had been prohibitively expensive. However, due to the declining cost of the electronic components, the required electronics became practical, resulting in a large cost saving over telescopes of more conventional design. This is informally referred to as "replacing steel with silicon".
The ATA has four primary advantages for scientific studies over all major radio telescopes built to date: a very wide field of view (2.45° at λ = 21 cm), complete instantaneous frequency coverage from 0.5 to 11.2 Gigahertz (GHz), multiple simultaneous backends, and active interference mitigation. The instantaneous area of sky imaged is 17 times that of the Very Large Array. The instantaneous frequency coverage of more than four octaves is unprecedented in radio astronomy and is the result of a unique feed, input amplifier, and signal path design. Active interference mitigation will make it possible to observe even at the frequencies of many terrestrial radio emitters.
Because all-sky surveys are an important part of the science program, the efficiency of the ATA will be increased by doing radio astronomy and search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) searches simultaneously. The telescope will do this by splitting the signals in the control room prior to final processing. Simultaneous observations are possible because for SETI, several target stars will lie within the large field of view afforded by the 6 m dishes wherever the telescope is pointed. Thus, by agreement between the RAL and the SETI Institute, the needs of conventional radio astronomy will determine the pointing of the array.
The ATA is planned to comprise 350 six-meter dishes and will make possible large, deep radio surveys that were not previously feasible. The telescope design incorporates many new features, including hydroformed antenna surfaces, a log-periodic feed covering the entire range of frequencies from 500 Megahertz (MHz) to 11.2 GHz, and low-noise, wide-band amplifiers with a flat response over the entire band making it possible to amplify the sky signal directly. This amplified signal, containing the entire received bandwidth, is brought from each antenna to the processing room on optical fiber cables. This means that as electronics improve and wider bandwidths are feasible, only the central processor needs to change, and not the antennas or feeds.
The instrument was operated and maintained by the UC Berkeley Radio Astronomy Laboratory (RAL) until the array's hibernation in 2011. The RAL worked hand in hand with the SETI Institute during design and prototyping and was the primary designer of the feed, antenna surfaces, beam forming, correlator and imaging system for radio astronomy observations.
The astronomy decadal panel, Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium, endorsed SETI and recognized the ATA (then called the 1-Hectare Telescope) as an important stepping stone to the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). The most recent Decadal Survey recommended ending US financial support of the SKA.
The ATA aspires to be among the world's largest and fastest observing instruments. It will also permit astronomers to search for many different target stars simultaneously. If completed as originally envisioned, it will be one of the largest and most powerful telescopes in the world.
Although cost estimates of unbuilt projects are always dubious, and the specs are not identical (the conventional telescopes have lower noise temperature, but the ATA has a larger field of view, for example), the ATA has potential promise as a much cheaper radio telescope technology for a given effective aperture. For example, the amount spent on the first ATA-42 phase, including technology development, is roughly 1/3 of the cost of a new copy of a Deep Space Network 34 meter antenna of similar collecting area.[12] Similarly, the estimated total cost of building the remaining 308 dishes is estimated (as of October 2007[update]) at about $41 million.[3] This is about a factor of 2 cheaper than the $85 million cost of the last large radio astronomy antenna built in the USA, the Green Bank Telescope, of similar collecting area. The contractor filed for a $29 million overrun, but only $4 million of this was allowed.[13]

Since its inception, the ATA has been a development tool for array technology (specifically, for the Square Kilometer Array). Future progress depends on the technical performance of the sub-array already under construction, and the procurement of additional funding.
The ATA was originally planned to be constructed in four stages, the ATA-42, ATA-98, ATA-206, and ATA-350; each number representing the number of dishes in the array at a given time (See Table 1).
Regular operations with 42 dishes started on 11 October 2007.[3] Funding for building additional antennas is currently being sought by the SETI Institute from various sources, including the United States Navy, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), National Science Foundation (NSF) and private donors.
Astronomical data has been acquired since May 2005, utilizing a four-input correlator (four antennas, dual polarization) and then updated in January 2007 with two eight-input (16 antennas, dual polarization).[14] Scientifically useful data has been acquired and is helping commission the array.[15]
Correlator development continued, with deployment of one 32-input correlator in June 2007 and utilized as eight individual correlators with eight dual-polarization inputs each.
Beam-forming electronics utilizing the Berkeley Emulation Engine 2 (BEE2) were deployed in June 2007 and have been integrated into the system to allow for simultaneous astronomical and SETI observations.[16] As of April 2008, the first pulsar observations have been conducted using the beamformer and a purpose-built pulsar spectrometer.[17]
In May 2009, UC Berkeley announced it was performing all-sky surveys using the Allen Telescope Array.[18]
The ATA Team reported initial results from their survey of the Galactic Center Region at the June 2009 meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS Meeting #214).[19]
In April 2011, the ATA was placed in hibernation mode due to funding shortfalls, meaning that it was no longer available for use.[20] Operation of the ATA resumed on December 5, 2011.[9] The building efforts are now led by Dr. Jill Tarter.[21]
In 2012, the ATA was funded by a $3.6 million philanthropic donation by Franklin Antonio, cofounder and Chief Scientist of Qualcomm Incorporated.[22] This gift supports upgrades of all the receivers on the ATA dishes to have dramatically (2 − 10× from 1–8 GHz) greater sensitivity than before and supporting sensitive observations over a wider frequency range from 1–18 GHz, though initially the radio frequency electronics go to only 12 GHz. As of July, 2013 the first of these receivers was installed and proven. Full installation on all 42 antennas is expected as of June 2014[update].
Key science goals
The science goals listed here represent the most important projects to be conducted with the ATA. Each of these goals is associated with one of the four stages of development (see Table 1). The bulleted items are the projects that will be undertaken and the subtopics are some of the science that will be produced. The ATA will:
- Determine the Hydrogen line (HI) content of galaxies out to z ∼ 0.2 over 3π steradians, to measure how much intergalactic gas external galaxies are accreting; to search for dark, starless galaxies; to lay the foundation for SKA dark energy detection
- Classify 250,000 extra-galactic radio sources as active galactic nuclei or starburst galaxies, to probe and quantify star formation in the local Universe; to identify high redshift objects; to probe large scale structure in the Universe; to identify gravitational lens candidates for dark matter and dark energy detection
- Explore the transient sky, to probe accretion onto black holes; to find orphan gamma ray burst afterglows; to discover new and unknown transient phenomena
- Survey 1,000,000 stars for SETI emission with enough sensitivity to detect an Arecibo radar out to 300 pc within the range of 1 and 10 GHz
- Survey the 4×1010 stars of the inner galactic plane from 1.42 to 1.72 GHz for very powerful transmitters
- Measure the magnetic fields in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies, to probe the role of magnetic fields in star formation and galaxy formation and evolution
- Detect the gravitational wave background from massive black holes through pulsar timing
- Measure molecular cloud and star formation properties using new molecular tracers, to map the star formation conditions on the scale of entire giant molecular clouds (GMCs); to determine the metallicity gradient of the Milky Way

†ATHIXS is an all-sky deep HI extragalactic HI survey.
Opportunistic science
After array construction, a few science goals that were not explicitly designed have been mentioned.
For a very different science goal, the Allen Telescope Array has offered to provide the mooncast data downlink for any contestants in the Google Lunar X Prize.[23] This is practical since the array, with no modifications, covers the main space communications bands (S-band and X-band). A telemetry decoder would be the only needed addition.
Also, the ATA was mentioned as a candidate for searching for a new type of radio transient.[24] It is an excellent choice for this because of a large field of view and wide instantaneous bandwidth. Following this suggestion, an instrument was custom-built for the ATA to search for bright radio transients, and observations were carried out between February and April 2008.[25]
Instrument details
The ATA-42 configuration will provide a maximum baseline of 300 m (and ultimately the ATA-350, 900 m). A cooled log-periodic feed on each antenna is designed to provide a system temperature of ~45K from 1 GHz to 10 GHz, with reduced sensitivity in the range 0.5 GHz to 1.0 GHz and 10 GHz to 11.2 GHz. Four separate frequency tunings (IFs) are available to produce 4x100 MHz intermediate frequency bands. Two IFs support correlators for imaging; two will support SETI observing. All tunings can produce four dual polarization phased array beams which can be independently pointed within the primary beam and can be used with a variety of detectors. The ATA can therefore synthesize up to 32 phased array beams.
The wide field of view of the ATA gives it an unparalleled capability for large surveys (Fig. 4). The time required for mapping a large area to a given sensitivity is proportional to (ND)2, where N is the number of elements and D is the diameter of the dish. This leads to the surprising result that a large array of small dishes can outperform an array with smaller number of elements but considerably greater collecting area at the task of large surveys. As a consequence, even the ATA-42 is competitive with much larger telescopes in its capability for both brightness temperature and point-source surveys. For point source surveys, the ATA-42 is comparable in speed with Arecibo and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), but slower by a factor of 3 than the Very Large Array (VLA). The ATA-350, on the other hand, will be an order of magnitude faster than the Very Large Array for point-source surveys and is comparable to the Expanded VLA (EVLA) in survey speed. For surveys to a specified brightness temperature sensitivity, the ATA-98 will exceed the survey speed of even the VLA-D configuration. The ATA-206 should match the brightness temperature sensitivity of Arecibo and the GBT. The ATA, however, provides better resolution than either these single dish telescopes.
The antennae for the ATA are Script error: No such module "convert". hydroformed offset Gregorian telescopes, each with a 2.4 meter sub-reflector with an effective focal length/diameter (f/D) ratio of 0.65. (DeBoer, 2001). The offset geometry eliminates blockage, which increases the efficiency and decreases the side lobes. It also allows for the large sub-reflector, providing good low frequency performance. The hydroforming technology used to make these surfaces is the same technique used to generate low-cost satellite reflectors by Andersen Manufacturing of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The unique, interior frame rim-supported compact mount allows excellent performance at a low cost. The drive system employs a spring-loaded passive anti-backlash azimuth drive train.
Data Management
As with other arrays the huge amount of incoming sensory information requires real time array processing capability to reduce data volume for storage. For ATA-256 the average data rates and total data volume for the correlator are estimated to be 100 MByte/s and 15 PByte for the 5-year survey period.[26] Experiments such as transient surveys will exceed the rate significantly. The beamformers produce data at a much higher rate (8 Gigabytes per second (Gb/s)) but only a very small fraction of this data is archived. In 2009, the signal detection hardware and software was called Prelude, composed of rack mounted PCs augmented by two custom accelerator cards based on digital signal processing (DSP) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. Each Programmable Detection Module (one of 28 PCs) can analyze 2 MHz of dual-polarization input data to generate spectra with spectral resolution of 0.7 Hz and time samples of 1.4 seconds.[26]
In 2009, the site had a 40 Mbit/s internet connection, adequate for remote access and transferring of data products for ATA-256. An upgrade to 40 Gbit/s was planned, which would enable direct distribution of raw data for offsite computing.[26]
Computational complexity and requirement
Like other array system the ATA has a computational complexity and cross-connect which scales as O(N2) with the number of antennas <math>N</math>. The computation requirement, for example, for correlating the full ATA bandwidth (<math>B</math> = 11 GHz) for the proposed <math>N</math> = 350 dual-polarization antenna build-out, using an efficient frequency-multiply (FX) architecture, and a modest 500 kHz channel width (with number of channels <math>F</math> = 2200) is given by:[27]
<math>2B \langle N \log_2(F)(10 OPs)+(N \frac{N +1}{2})\times 4(8 OPs) \rangle</math> = 44 Peta-OPs per second
where <math>Ops</math> is an operation. Note that since each dish has a dual polarization antenna each signal sample is actually a two data set, hence <math>2B</math>.

Beating Your Health Issues with Acupuncture Iowa City
Long gone are the days when acupuncture used to be an art left for unprofessional quacks with professionals either practicing in major cities at ridiculous charges or out of the country. The Acupuncture Iowa City is now available to all who care to sample the healing powers of the ancient art.
In simple words, acupuncture is able to attain its final ends by manipulating pressure points in the body by the use of long slender pins that are stuck lightly into the body at predefined positions. The positions will vary with respect to the type of condition that the procedure targets to heal in that specific patient.
Practitioners of the art back in China believe that acupuncture works by balancing the flow of energy (chi) in the body. Chi is believed to flow in the body along pathways (meridians) that can be manipulated to restore a balance which they believe is offset by any ailment or disorder.
However, this explanation will just not appeal to the senses of many intellectuals in the 21st century. Modern medicine has established that the pins will stimulate the body's nervous system which in turn triggers the release of chemicals native to the body that are capable of healing the problems dogging it. Acupuncture can therefore be seen as a stimulator of the body's natural healing process.
With a long list of possible solutions that it can be used to attain, the technique can easily be labeled safe and with no side effects. This is not the case. After a procedure, the body is bound to be sore from the pin pricks and sometimes slight bleeding is normal. In cases where it is administered by non-professionals, there is the probability of infections by dirty working environments and injury of internal body organs if the pins are pushed in too deep. However, all these woes can be avoided if you identify the right expert to do the job for you. Licensed acupuncture Iowa City gives an insurance of your health and at least a name to sue in case things go awry.
Better still, most of the acupuncture experts who practice in Iowa combine western medicine with the acupuncture procedures. This means that the patients will be given a stronger cocktail that can do away with whatever monster that is bogging them as soon as possible with the least side effects possible
At a glance, the thought of having long shiny pins sticking on the skin is a painful and repelling one. The fact is that anyone who has undergone acupuncture can assure you that the pain involved is minimal. Better still, what is a little pain compared to the probability of being stuck with a lifetime health complication either directly from your ailment or as side effects from medication.
Acupuncture can be the safest and most effective treatment for various health ailments and can also be useful for eliminating your body pain. For more information, visit Robinsonfamilywellness.com.

Carol Clavering is sitting beside the Fisherman's Monument in Guaymas, Mexico, waiting to meet the man who has kidnapped her daughter. He had been her lover for a long time and is the father of her child. She has not seen him for 15 years. Max has not demanded ransom; he wants to get even with Carol for ''trying to destroy his soul.''
Not exactly a zinger for openers, but the rest of this novel does not do much better. It consists of flashbacks from 1939 to 1973 describing how Carol wound up beside the Fisherman's Monument.

Guests at the Al Aqah resorts said that Wednesday was a rough day at sea with waves crashing onto the beaches, particularly at high tide.
This turbulence helped to break up the long band of oil and may have been a blessing to the many hotel staff who were on the beaches and in the sea attempting to disperse the oil.
On Wednesday morning there were many hotel workers armed with brooms and shovels seeking to clean the washed up oil from the sand. Despite their good efforts there was still much oil in evidence on the beach.
One hotel guest who ventured along the beach said the smell of oil was still in the air and the waves had a 'creamy top' to them.
The roughness of the waves not the oil was the primary cause of the curtailing of many water activities yesterday.

weekday ss12
i like how h&m and her sister stores always exactly know what's going on in fashion.
h&m itself is a bit plain but does a great job producing basics and collab's with famous designers. her sister monki is a young and 'funky' store with some surprising items. but my two favorite 'sisters' are absolutely cos and weekday! cos is chique and minimalistic and weekday is more casual (a nice mix between monki and cos). and i love the scandinavian style they both represent. any how the weekday ss12 collection isn't mind-blowing since we see items like these a lot on the runway/in stores lately, but these four outfits struck me. colors, textures, accessories, shoes, shapes...oh how i love weekday.
