Finishing the job of ending extreme poverty
This is no small task. But it's what David Cameron and fellow members of a High Level Panel of eminent people promised to focus on when they met in London last week. The Panel has been appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to advise him on what should replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) when they expire in 2015.
Look at any poverty reduction policy or research document produced by the UN or donors in the last few years and it's likely to contain a reference to the MDGs. Since they were established at the turn of the century, the MDGs have influenced how the international community thinks about and does development- focusing attention on a set of eight ambitious poverty reduction goals that world leaders committed to meeting by the end of 2015.
Given the traction that the MDGs have had, the post-2015 process is very important. It's expected to set the priorities that will guide international efforts to overcome poverty over the next decade and beyond, determining what issues receive the most attention and how we should tackle them. Shaping these priorities is a hugely significant job that can't be left to 26 people sitting in a room in London, no matter how "high level" they are.
So we were relieved when we heard that the Panel was keen to consult broadly with people that have different expertise and experience to bring to the table. The UN itself is also holding a series of consultations, and has promised to do what it can to make sure these are as broad and inclusive as possible.
We were even more pleased when VSO partner Francess Fornah, head of a midwifery school in Sierra Leone, was selected as one of 30 civil society representatives to take part in a roundtable discussion with the Panel in London. As Francess herself blogged on the Guardian website, it's critical that the post-2015 framework is shaped by people who really know what works and what doesn't in the global fight against poverty because they tackle it themselves on a day to day basis. It's great that Francess had the chance to talk to the Panel. We just hope that they take her inputs on board in their final report.
The noises coming out from the Panel are so far positive. They've promised to focus on poverty eradication, and to tackle its root causes rather than just its symptoms. They're meeting three more times – in Liberia, Indonesia and the USA – before they present their recommendations to Ban Ki-moon next spring. There'll still be a lot more workr to do after this, and plenty of intergovernmental negotiation before a final framework is agreed in 2015.
VSO will be keeping a close eye on this process. We'll be pushing for a new framework that will help to spur long lasting change for the world's poorest and most marginalised people (see the submission we made to the UK Parliament for more detail). In a nutshell, we're calling for two main things:
Firstly, we want to see a framework that recognises the contribution that thousands of community health workers, outreach workers, volunteers, teachers, doctors and entrepreneurs are making to tackling poverty in their own communities on a daily basis. These people must not be treated as passive beneficiaries of aid, but as active partners who must be involved in both designing and implementing the new framework.
Secondly, the framework must recognise that women suffer disproportionately from poverty, and that equality between men and women is a critical foundation for more just, healthy and vibrant societies. We need to harness the opportunity of the post-2015 process to make sure that women who are most affected by poverty have more control over decisions that affect them and can make their voices heard in public life.
We need your help with this. You can feed your concerns and ideas into the UN consultations via the World We Want website, and watch this space to find out how you can tell the High Level Panel what issues they should prioritise when they next meet in Liberia early next year.
Let's hold Cameron and his colleagues to their ambitious but important promise – to build a global framework that enables us to be the generation that finishes the job of ending extreme poverty once and for all.

Broncos veteran Coda Gordon (right) battled with Vancouver's Blake Orban early in Saturday's 5-2 win.

Broncos defenseman Bobby Zinkan (centre) worked against Vancouver's Reid Zalitach in front of the goal of Eetu Laurikainen.
Published on October 13, 2013
Brycen Martin absorbed a heavy hit from Vancouver's Tim Traber during Saturday's 5-2 win.
Broncos net five straight goals to erase early deficit
The Swift Current Broncos scored five unanswered goals to snap a two-game losing streak in a 5-2 win over the visiting Vancouver Giants Saturday.
The Broncos trailed 2-0 after an awful opening 20 minutes but rebounded with two goals in the second period and three in the third to improve to 6-3-0-1 in their final game before heading west for their five-game U.S. Division road trip.
Zac Mackay netted the game winner 1:20 into the third period when he won an offensive zone face-off, headed to the high slot, and then deflected home a Brett Lernout point shot through the legs of Jared Rathjen.
"That was a big win for us," said Mackay. "We came out pretty slow in the first. We expected them to be a hard working team in the first and they were, we just didn't seem ready for it. We battled back in the second and third and I thought we showed a really good effort out there in those two periods."
Glenn Gawdin scored his first Western Hockey League goal to add some insurance and Bobby Zinkan closed the scoring with his second of the season.
"Yeah it felt great," said Gawdin of his first WHL goal. "I have kind of been struggling in that department lately and I think I overthought it. I am happy to get the first one out of the way."
The Broncos appeared to be on the verge of a third straight loss after being out-shot 20-6 in the opening stanza and allowing goals to Andreas Eder and Joel Hamilton to trail 2-0 at the intermission.
They were a different team in the second period as they responded with a powerplay goal from Julius Honka and the game-tying marker from Colby Cave on a soft shot that Rathjen would likely want to have back. Honka was the only Bronco to finish with more than one point as he added two assists and finished plus-two on the evening.
Eetu Laurikainen earned the win with 35 saves on 37 shots to improve to 3-3-0-1 for the Broncos.
Rathjen made 28 saves as Vancouver dropped to 1-7-1-1 and finished without a win on their six-game East Division road trip.
The Broncos will begin their road trip on Wednesday in Spokane in their first of five games in seven days.

The Sentinel moves back into the heart of the city centre
Posted: June 05, 2013|
The Sentinel is moving back into the heart of Hanley.
Our new offices will be located in the beautiful old building currently occupied by Beswicks Solicitors - in the centre of the Cultural Quarter.
More than 159 years ago we published our first edition from offices in Cheapside. Now we're moving from Festival Park in Etruria into the historic site in Bethesda Street.
The two-storey building was built in the early 1800s and was originally a Sunday School for the iconic Bethesda Chapel, next door. It's full of elegant big windows and high ceilings - and reeks of Potteries heritage.
Related content
Our new offices will be a modern communications hub, full of 21st century kit, as befitting a print and digital publishing business.
Sentinel Managing Director Michelle Gesell said: "This is a hugely important move for our business, one which puts us right at the heart of the community we always seek to serve.
"We hope the new base will make it easier for readers and customers to reach us. Being within The Cultural Quarter should also make it simple for us to meet key advertisers and important contacts.
"We'll only be a short walk from The Regent, The Potteries Museum, Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, Hanley Police Station and the new £15m Hanley Bus Station. The new £41m city council headquarters will also be within throwing distance of our front door."
New tenants of the Festival Park site are yet to be announced.
The move will happen sometime in the autumn.

Kanye West & Amber Rose At Capitol City In Hollywood
I'm so happy that Amber Rose is modeling and becoming her own brand, sans Kanye West. I really like Amber Rose and she has a fascinating Cinderella story. I was really upset during the VMAs, because Kanye West was not just being vulgar toward Taylor Swift, but toward his girl, Amber Rose. I understand passion, but grabbing your girls body part on the red carpet doesn't do much to help her image. He was treating her like an object he owned, and hopefully she checked him when the cameras stopped rolling. Anyway I digress.
Amber Rose and Kanye West spotted at Capitol City in Hollywood. The evening started off quite well, you can see the couple holding hands. The paparazzi must have shouted something because Kanye West demeanor quickly changes.
It looks like Amber Rose is telling Kanye, "You better not act a fool and embarrass me. Keep it moving! I got this!"

Beyonce Set To Perform In Malaysia Despite Protest
Despite an abrupt cancellation of her 2007 concert in Malaysia, due to protesters threatening to disrupt it because of her sexual image, Beyonce Knowles will finally take the stage on Oct. 25 in the country's biggest city, Kuala Lumpur.
However, according to the Associated Press, the Grammy Award-winning superstar still isn't receiving the 'Diva' treatment that she's accustomed to: earlier this week, beyonce Sabki Yusof, head of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party,stated that his organization would send a protest note to the government over the singer's show.
The country enforces and requires all female performers to cover up from the shoulders to knees with no cleavage showing.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

MOUNT WASHINGTON — The new H1N1 virus — also known as influenza A — is widespread in Bullitt County and its effects are starting to be seen in some local schools.
Old Mill Elementary School experienced an unusually high number of absences last week and continued to see that trend into this week.
Principal Les McIntosh said Friday that last Tuesday the school had more than 100 absences that were attributed mostly to the flu and strep throat.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Law enforcement officials quickly apprehended a juvenile accused of robbing a convenience store Saturday morning by gunpoint.
Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell said that a 17-year-old Mount Washington boy was taken into custody Sunday evening for the break-in at about 6:15 a.m. on Saturday at the Red, White and Blue convenience store on Preston Highway and Bells Mill Road.
Tinnell said the teenager went into the store shortly after opening and displayed a gun to the clerk. He took $277 and fled when another customer pulled into the parking lot.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Law enforcement officials quickly apprehended a juvenile accused of robbing a convenience store Saturday morning by gunpoint.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Over 1,400 students will be affected next fall when the Bullitt County Public School System redistricts to alleviate overcrowding and to provide youngsters for its newest elementary school in Mount Washington.
On Tuesday night, the Bullitt County Public School Board unanimously approved a revised redistricting plan that would affect every school but Nichols Elementary.
LEBANON JUNCTION ee" No one wants to get stuck with unpaid water bills, especially Lebanon Junction landlord Dan Thibodeaux.
Thibodeaux has approached the city council twice now claiming he doesn't believe it's right that under the city's current ordinance he is responsible for unpaid water bills left by his apartment tenants.
"I'm not responsible for something I didn't sign for. They're getting the service, I'm not," he told the council.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - For the next couple of months, it won't be difficult to find a candidate for the office of Bullitt County Judge/Executive in the courthouse.
Incumbent Melanie Roberts has filed her intentions to run for a second term and David Strange, director of the Bullitt County History Museum, located in the courthouse, has filed for the Democratic nomination.
Add Kenny Hardin, director of the Bullitt County Drug Task Force, with its office in the courthouse, as the latest candidate to file.
HILLVIEW - The wheels are spinning in Hillview to enhance community health.
The city is sponsoring Tour de Hillview, a free bicycling event for all ages.
In conjunction with the event, officials will introduce the new Hillview Community Bicycle Project, a program sponsoring free bicycles for the community's use.
Tour de Hillview takes place Sunday, Oct. 25, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Hillview City Hall parking lot.
HILLVIEW -- When Mayor Jim Eadens wants to hold a private conversation in his office he might have a little trouble.
From the city files that are stacked in the office to the basketballs bouncing against the wall from the adjoining gym, Eadens said the Hillview city staff is out of room.
And he's looking for a way to find a little more room on the city's budget.
For the second time in as many years, Hillview officials talked about moving outside its current facility to find more space.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Voters in Bullitt County may get a sneak peek at how the new paper ballot system will work prior to the May 2010 primary election.
Besides approving the purchase of the new E-scan voting machines from Harp Enterprises, Bullitt Fiscal Court also gave its OK to purchase 10,000 paper ballots that will be used as a sample.
County clerk Kevin Mooney said he felt it would be a good idea to allow voters a chance to use the paper ballot machines prior to next spring's elections.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Three men have been indicted after allegedly passing counterfeit employment checks in early August.
The Bullitt County Grand Jury has indicted David T. Brown, David E. Gotting and Michael D. Truax.
The men were involved in a series of counterfeit check writings using the name of Do It All Floor and Wall Covering.
The checks were written to C.F.'s Daily Stop on Hillview Boulevard, Brooks Liquors and Bullitt County Supermarket on Highway 245.

City Moving Towards Decision on Park Plaza
La Crosse city hall would like to be cautious when it comes to a deal to develop the Park Plaza property on Barron Island. But there's not really that luxury. Not after a rush deal between the county and a developer to sell the property. Now the city is getting pushed to agree to what will get built there. Not how mayor Tim Kabat would have wanted things to go. But he also didn't envision the property sitting for ten years with no development
The developer, who's buying the six acre site for 800 thousand dollars wants to build mostly housing there. The city council will consider the plans at meetings next month.

Found these by they guy who does my favorite bargain site:
And finally, a Tickle-Me-Elmo or TMX Elmo tracker. Really? People still want them and can't find them?
All sites offer a RSS feed, too, and they all check eBay as well.
Running around frantically searching for the Nintendo Wii or Sony PlayStation3? Save yourself some time and hassle by checking out XPBargain's Nintendo Wii locator first. They also have a Sony PS3 locator.
These two pages are an invaluable resource for folks looking to pick up one of the season's hot new video game consoles. The list currently says both PS3s and Wiis are sold-out everywhere... but keep watching those pages. Just today, they posted news of Wiis available at Sam's Club, but they sold out within an hour both times.
To help you stay on top of the trackers, XP Bargains has a handy guide to getting a pop-up alert on your PC when the trackers update.
Finally, if you reeeaaally need to pick up a Wii or PS3 this season, you can always join fellow procrastinators in bidding up eBay supplies:
If you can't get a console shipped to you in time, despite your heroic efforts, you can still make somebody's day with the Walmart Wii gift certificate. It's just any other Walmart gift certificate, except that it's priced exactly for a Wii ($249.24).
Thanks to reader Lance for the tip.

And finally, a Tickle-Me-Elmo or TMX Elmo tracker. Really? People still want them and can't find them?

I was on the lookout for a Wii, and after getting sick of running around stores, found out about this free site http://wiialerts.com on fatwallet forums.
The cell alerts are incredibly useful, and I was easily able to buy a Wii at Amazon. Saved on tax and shipping too.
In search of wii
My search started in mid-october when my 10 year old son asked for a wii for Christmas. I knew from the start that I had to find him one because of the connection with my name. You see, my name is William Isaac Ishman with my initials being WII and my sons name being William Isaac Ishman the 2nd, WII 2. As a matter of fact my wife refers to us as wii 1 and wii 2. Every weekend in October and November my time was spent searching all stores in the city I live in, including walmart,toys r us, best buy,circuit city,comp USA and many others with no results. I spent hours standing in lines and even witnessed a fight in best buy, when two elderly men reached for the last wii. When December arrived I was about to tell my son that their would probably be no wii for Christmas this year, but first I wanted to give the online stores a try. I check all of the big box stores, always with the same results"out of stock". I ended up checking a couple of the wii tracker sites, and their it was at amazon.com "in stock". Amazon was selling the wii for $250.00 that morning. I immediately went to their sit and puchased one.It was worth every penny just to see the look on my sons (wii 2) face Christmas morning. The wii trackers had really done the job for me.
Success! Found a Wii for my son for $249.99 2 days after I registered. I'm a fan!

The Mississippi State Bulldogs took advantage of solid pitching from Chris Stratton on Friday night.
On Saturday, it was Arkansas' turn to rely on Ryne Stanek, who shut out the MSU offensive attack for the first time in 54 games and helped the Razorbacks to an 8-0 victory.
Arkansas' pitching was nothing short of spectacular as the combination of Stanek and Cade Lynch held MSU to just three hits for the afternoon.
Stanek (6-0) was lifted with one out in the seventh inning. For the contest, the sophomore right-hander allowed three hits, with six strikeouts and only two walks. Lynch faced the minimum in 2.2 innings of relief work.
"He was changing eye levels, being up and down in the zone, throwing hard," MSU shortstop Adam Frazier said. "He was changing speeds with his slider and change-up working too. You've got to tip your hat to him. That's all you can do really."
Mississippi State head coach John Cohen agreed by saying Stanek was about as good as the Southeastern Conference has to offer.
"We faced probably the best guy in our league and we didn't stick our noses in there and fight," Cohen said. "That's what's disappointing. To beat a guy like that on the mound, you've got to fight."
State simply couldn't muster an offensive threat of any sort which led to Stanek becoming more and more dominate as the afternoon wore on.
For the Bulldogs, pitcher Nick Routt fell to 1-2 for the season after being chased from the game in the fifth when Arkansas plated its first runs of the contest to take the 2-0 lead.
Evan Mitchell entered the game and the wheels came off for Mississippi State in the sixth when the Razorbacks sent 10 men to the plate, scoring six times and breaking the game open.
"The best thing that came out of the day is that Routt found his change-up," said Cohen. "We got some swings and misses and I think we had 14 punchouts as a club, but the five walks really hurt us in the fifth and sixth innings."
The Razorbacks were led by Matt Reynolds at the plate with three his and three RBIs, while Tim Carver, Jacob Mahan, Derrick Bleeker and Dominic Ficociello each had a pair of hits.
Following the game, Cohen found positives in his team's loss.
"I was really pleased with our freshmen," Cohen said of Jacob Lindgren and Trevor Fitts who held the Razorbacks in check as they closed out the final four innings for the Bulldogs. "I think at one point they had retired 11 in a row and got a bunch of strikeouts too."
Today, State takes the field at noon in the deciding game of the series with Kendall Graveman on the mound.
While Graveman has had success, Cohen knows the game will be decided at the plate.
"We have to compete better at home plate," Cohen said. "If you can't score, you can't win. You can't win every game 1-0."View more articles in:

Wake County Justice Center- a LEED Silver Project done right!
Yesterday evening, I had the privilege of attending the Triangle USGBC's "Talk & Walk" at the Wake County Justice Center. The 576,996 square foot Justice Center was completed 6 months early and over 30 million under budget. (The final cost, including soft costs, came in at ~$141,000,000). Now that's what I call a LEED project done right!
Interestingly, the County did not endeavor for a LEED Silver rating– the plan was to aim for a Certification. However, as the process unfolded, the Team kept meeting the goals and points for a Silver certification without any appreciable additional costs.
The end result? An "iconic but energy efficient building," according to Tim Ashby, current Wake County Facilities Project Manager. Tim was initially involved in the Project while working at O'Brien Atkins, which served as the architecture firm for the Project under the direction of Architect Andrew Zwiacher.
The Project was a Construction Manager at Risk project, involving a joint venture between Balfour Beatty Construction and Barnhill Contracting Company. Did the contract type contribute to the success of the Project? According to Project representatives, it likely was responsible for the 6 month early completion due to the high level of coordination.
Energy efficiency in the Building comes from the low flow plumbing (total water savings of 45%, 15% more than LEED requires), programmable and natural daylighting, and almost 98% construction waste diversion.
Another interesting legal factoid: BIM (Building Information Modeling) was utilized. Through BIM, a conflict was discovered in the space allocated for the air handling units versus the planned size of those units. This discovery enabled a change to the AHU units (to make them wider and shorter) prior to manufacturer, saving untold delays in time and increases in cost. We'll talk more later about the pros (and cons) of BIM, but suffice it to say it worked very well on this Project.
If you haven't been by to see the Justice Center yet, please do. It's a great design (17 elevators!), and a great change from the old Courthouse across the street.
Have you seen the Justice Center yet? Thoughts on the design? Share in the comments below.

Design-Build Advantages for Construction Projects (guest post)
Today we have a guest post from the folks at McCree General Contractors and Architects, located in Orlando. The McCree folks, naturally enough, think Design-Build has many features that make it advantageous over the traditional Design-Bid-Build method. Here are their thoughts:
Many construction projects are designed by an architect, and once the client is happy with the design a contractor is then hired to build it. While the client may have been told one estimate by the architect, once the contractor gets the plans the costs may change. There may be aspects of the design execution the architect didn't think about, or parts that won't work with the landscape of the construction site. This can result in changes to the original design, higher costs, and delaying of the project. Not to mention the frustration this can create for everyone involved.
Because of these obstacles that often arise between architecture firm and contractor firm, many people are now turning to a Design-Build Construction Firm. At these firms, the architects, designers, and contractors work together from the beginning. The firm takes responsibility for the project in its entirety, from design to execution. If the architect makes and adjustment to a design, the contractor will be right there to let him know if this may violate a regulation or if it won't work with the topography of the site. Adjustments can be made without ever involving the client. The price quoted is more likely to be accurate, because a contractor and project manager will have also agreed that this design can be executed in the space allotted. There is no finger pointing and blaming the other firm, leaving the client in the middle, frustrated and spending more money than he originally thought. A Design-Build firm is also easier on the client because he only needs to contact one project manager. This streamlined process leads to a more efficiently run project, and efficiently run projects typically cost less and are finished quicker.
A Design-Build firm is advantageous for the client also because these firms typically allow the client to be as involved as he wants. As the design is developed and changed according to the client's specifications, the contractor will be on hand to let the client and architect know if these changes are possible. There is no need for ordering design changes, which an architect working on his own would charge the client for. Because the contractor works for the firm, and not for himself, he is not looking to protect his own self-interest once building starts. Since the contractor has been involved from the beginning, there should be no surprises or setbacks once ground is broken. If there are, the Design-Build firm should take responsibility, instead of the contractor telling the client to go back to the architect.
All the decisions regarding the design and building of a project will be taken into account from the very beginning with a Design-Build firm. When using separate design and contractor firms, an architect will simply tell the client what will be the most cost effective design, and then a contractor will decide the most cost effective way to build this design. The schedule of the contractor's team is not on the architect's mind, and the contractor may not know the most cost effective materials needed to execute the design. These problems are also eliminated with a Design-Build firm. The experience of the team, quality and availability of materials and schedule of the contractor and construction crews are also taken into consideration from the very beginning of the project. This further streamlines the process, making it quicker and more painless for everyone involved.
Melissa again: Design-Build projects definitely present unique opportunities, and unique challenges. If you are considering entering into a design-build contract, considering a joint venture with a contractor on a project, or otherwise undertaking a corporate organizational change, make sure you have a good lawyer (or three) on board for the myriad issues that such ventures present.
Now it's your turn: What do you think? Is Design-Build the next best thing since sliced bread? Have you had issues, problems, or good results as part of a Design-Build team? Share your thoughts below.

Architects & Engineers – Liaising With Contractors (guest post)
Today's guest post is by David Morrison. David has worked on both sides of the construction site during his time in renovation. Having stepped from the gravel pit into the office a few years ago, David currently now works with UK Tool Centre, liaising with the industry on their behalf.
Working as a site engineer or lead architect has many challenges and is undoubtedly one of the toughest roles, interwoven around effective communication skills with the clients as well as the site contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Since maintaining discipline and accountability is at the core of any successful venture, the same is true for a construction site also. The site engineer plays the "unwanted" role of implementing carrot and stick policy, awarding the effective contractor and dealing with the laggard.
For those beginning their engineering and architectural careers, or for those who still struggle to maintain a tight ship when dealing with contractors, there are a number of things to keep in mind.
a.) Organizing Self - The way a site engineer organizes his work plays a very important role in meeting the final objective and let the workplace run as a team. The first and most important thing is to set an example by doing things in the same manner as you are requiring and expecting from the contractors.
b.) Be Clear - A site engineer must ensure that the contractors have clear instructions, drawings and specifications related to their work. Otherwise the "garbage in; garbage out" rule shall be applicable to the final outcome.
c.) Work Milestones - A site engineer should coordinate with the general contractor, who in turn should use professional project management tools, define work milestones and interact with the subcontractors to keep an eye on their timely completion. If any issues arise, they must be addressed quickly, so that the contractor or subcontractor's work is not delayed.
d.) Performance Appraisal - Informing a contractor of his performance quality is only half the job; informing him in a timely manner is the remaining half. The site engineer should develop methods of regular assessment of work of each prime contractor, and should include this information in regular project meetings. This allows the site contractor to timely identify the gaps (both related to man and machine) in his work and to take action to complete the work successfully.
e.) Teamwork, Motivation and Inspiration - To foster teamwork among various site contractors, a site engineer should know how to dig into his own experience of similar works. He should always work to motivate them by giving good and bad examples out of his experience. A well experienced site engineer always have lots of good advice from his earlier encounters to inspire the contractors and give them potential solutions to difficult tasks and situations.
f.) Prompt Payments - A site engineer must always ensure that as per contractual terms with contractors the payment for the various milestones must be promptly processed and done without any delay. This is of utmost importance in getting the work done from contractors on a construction site.
g.) Safety - A site engineer must always ensure that contractors shall never compromise on safety and security rules to expedite the work. A bad accident can be devastating, to the individuals involved and also to the project schedule.
h.) Friendship, Philosophy and Guidance - A site engineer should know how to work as a friend-philosopher and guide to the contractors and must not always act as bully. After all, the contractor may have some genuine issues with the design team's performance as well.
Advice for construction is ten to the dozen and there are a lot of potential misguiding mantras out there. One of the most useful to take into account has always been: "It may take a lifetime to learn the ways to deal with contractors on-site, and still a lot will be left to learn."
Thanks David. Now it's your turn. Thoughts, comments, questions? Share in the comment section below.

4 Federal Labor Laws Every Construction Manager Needs to Know (guest post)
Today, a guest post from Kristie Lewis, freelance writer for Construction Management Degree. Kristie has written numerous articles on both construction training and education as well as industry news and trends. In her spare time, Kristie enjoys cooking in her newly remodeled kitchen and reading science fiction novels. You can reach out to her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks for sharing, Kristie.
In an effort to protect the rights of employers in all industries, the federal government has enacted several labor laws. Some of the laws apply to all business sectors, and some apply to specific industries, such as construction.
Although those who earn a degree from an accredited construction management program will be required to learn about a variety of laws that apply to the construction industry, it is never a bad idea to review the details of them. Here are four labor laws that every construction manager should know like the back of their hand.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
This act sets the standards for wages and overtime pay. In general, it requires employers to pay covered employees who are not otherwise exempt at least the federal minimum wage and pay 1.5 times the regular rate for overtime hours. The Fair Labor Standards Act is administered by the Wage and Hour Division. More information on this law can be found at the division's official website.
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts
These policies apply to contractors and subcontractors that are working on public buildings or public works projects that are federally funded and will cost more than $2,000 to construct, alter or repair. According to the act, contractors and subcontractors must pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area. There are additional details that can also be found on the Wage and Hour Division's official website.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
This act is administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and includes an array of industry-specific regulations that are enforced through regular workplace inspections and investigations. Compliance assistance and other cooperative programs are available for employers who request help. Although there seems to be an endless amount of rules to comply with, most of them are common sense rules that smart construction managers already abide by. Still, it is wise to make sure your project is congruent with the federal law, because any infractions can be found through inspection or reported by a worker.
The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) of 1959
This law deals with the relationship between a union and its members. Also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act, it protects union funds and promotes union democracy by requiring labor organizations to file annual financial reports. Employers are also required to file reports regarding certain labor practices. It is administered by the Office of Labor-Management Standards. You can read the details of the law here.
Knowing the details of the above laws will not only keep your construction business safe from legal trouble, it will also allow you to provide your employers with the best working environment possible.

Play Nicely in the Sandbox (or, Why GC's and Subs Should Get Along) (guest post)
Today's guest post is from Christopher G. Hill, lawyer, Virginia Supreme Court certified General District Court mediator and owner of the Richmond, VA firm, The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC, a LEED AP. Chris authors the Construction Law Musings blog where he discusses legal and policy issues relevant to construction professionals. Additionally, Chris is active in the Associated General Contractors of Virginia and a member of the Board of Governors for the Construction Law and Public Contracts Section of the Virginia State Bar.
First off, thanks to Melissa for this opportunity to post here at Construction Law in North Carolina. Having co-presented with her and discussed construction contracting from all perspectives, I can safely say she's good at what she does and shares great insight here at her blog.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, I thought I'd share my thoughts as one who represents many subcontractors and general contractors on the topic of good relationships meaning good business. I am always a bit surprised at the failure of either side of the GC/Sub dynamic to act in a businesslike manner.
Remember, the General Contractor and the subs are in the boat together in many ways. They both have a job to do and, ultimately, an owner at the top of the payment food chain that is looking to get a project done on time. Ultimately, they both have an architect/engineer representing the owner that may or may not be up on the job (sorry Melissa) and may not be trained in project management. If the general and its subs aren't "playing well in the sandbox" together, the relationships up and down the project chain get all out of whack and cause delays in completion and importantly in payment.
Another phenomenon that happens more frequently than I would like is the general contractor "burning" good subcontractors in an area through making payment (particularly final payment) difficult to receive. While this type of activity occurs on what I am sure is the minority of projects (and fully acknowledging that my practice makes me think that Murphy was an optimist) I am always flabbergasted by this sort of treatment given to a subcontractor that should be helping pull the boat.
While it is obvious that subs need to play nice with GC's because they have the money, it may seem less obvious how the above can hurt a general contractor. The short answer (and don't worry I won't be going into the long one) is that burning good subs eventually means that good subs won't work with you. Subs talk to each other. Your reputation will precede you. Eventually the economy will improve and you won't be the only game in town. Not to mention that such actions are the stuff of which claims are made.
In short, getting along costs your local construction lawyer money because he or she doesn't get to go to court for you. It is almost always less expensive to get along, finish the job and work out payment than to get we attorneys involved in the construction claims process.
To make a long story somewhat less long, GC's work with the subs and subs, play nice with the GC's. It's the best way to a lower stress project and a higher monetary payoff.
Thanks, Chris, for your insights from the contractor's side of things. Even if you did (politely) slam the hard-working design professionals. Reader, now it's your turn. Share your thoughts, comments, or questions with Chris or me in the comment section, below.

I just like to smile. Smiling's my favorite.
Hello! I'm originally from upstate New York and have been living in Boston for four years. I have an awesome group of friends here (and around the country), but I'm always looking to meet new and interesting people. I believe in pursuing meaningful goals, whether in my career or in how I choose to spend my free time. I'm passionate about a lot of different things, but I try to focus my passion on being compassionate toward others and actively doing good in the world. All of this can sound intense, and I am serious about certain things. However, I do not take myself too seriously. I can laugh at myself and can usually recognize and embrace both my strengths and my shortcomings. Some of the shortcomings that can create comical situations include a lack of a sense of direction and not noticing common sense solutions (which my friends lovingly steer me toward). I also strive to stay drama-free (not always possible; however I try not to contribute to said drama). I'm looking for someone who is compassionate, intelligent, can make me laugh, keep up with witty quips, and is willing to go on new adventures. It would be great if we have some shared interests, as well as some diverging ones so that we can learn from each other.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Volunteering
Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Dogs, Fish
Very Liberal
I love any place that serves frozen yogurt and/or ice cream (JP Licks...yum). I also like tapas, so places like Barcelona and Tasca are pretty fun. I'll go almost anywhere for a good cup of coffee or an alcoholic beverage.
I really enjoy listening to live music in a laid back atmosphere. I also like public radio and couldn't get enough of the first season of Serial. My free time is spent in good company with close friends.
I like to visit new places, be it a new place in Boston, across state lines, or over country borders. I recently traveled to El Salvador, which was awesome. I enjoy thrifting, and seeing what discarded treasures I can find. Live music is a must.
I'm a fan of fiction and other topics that grab my interest. I'm trying to read more of the classics that I probably should have read when I was in high school. My most recent read was a bit depressing, so no need to expound.

The Magic Puzzles folks are at it again. This time, with a new app featuring famed photographer Anne Geddes. Even if you don't know her name, you've surely seen her work. I do realize Anne Geddes photography isn't for everyone, but I will admit that at one time in my life, I did have a bit of an Anne Geddes obsession. I'm over it now, but I still see the charm in her loving photographs of babies juxtaposed with nature.
At any rate, the iPad app features eight of Anne Geddes' photographs. Like the other Magic Puzzles apps, you can choose your puzzle level: Beginner (42 pieces), Advanced (72), Professional (143), or Master (288 pieces)! You can also choose to have the pieces rotated or not, as well as music and sound effects on or off. Complete a puzzle and the app cheers for you and displays a congratulatory message.
Just like with their other puzzles, the only issue I have is that sometimes the pieces are hard to "pick up". Otherwise, this is a really nice, free app to enjoy on your iPad. There is a small, unobtrusive banner ad you can see in the photos below. Finished with the eight included puzzles and can't get enough of Anne Geddes? You can purchase more puzzles in-app.
There are also quite a few other puzzle apps by the same developer, including one just for Christmas.
Magic Puzzles: Anne Geddes is available in the iTunes app store for the awesome price of FREE.

In addition to prohibiting businesses from knowingly discharging listed chemicals into
drinking water sources, Prop. 65 requires businesses to post a "clear and reasonable"
warning that consumers may be exposed to a listed chemical.
For the listing of a carcinogen, OEHHA uses a 1 in 100,000 risk level as a benchmark
for determination of an appropriate exposure value that will protect public health.
This exposure value termed a No Significant Risk Level (NSRL) is the level of exposure
to the substance (generally in micrograms) per day over a lifetime that will not result
in an elevated cancer risk. In other words, if 100,000 individuals were exposed to a
substance at the NSRL for their lifetimes, only one individual would be expected to have
a cancer attributable to that substance.
For the listing of chemicals as reproductive or developmental toxicants, OEHHA uses a
Maximum Allowable Daily Level (MADL) representing the No Observable Adverse Effect Level
(NOAEL) times a factor of 1,000 for added protection. The NOAEL is the level (generally
in micrograms) per day of the substance, which has been shown either through animal or
human studies to present no adverse reproductive or developmental effects.
If a company can prove that their facility or product does not expose the public to a listed
substance in excess of the NSRL or MADL, no warning statements are required. However, if a
product or facility is found to expose the public to a listed substance at a level exceeding
the NSRL or MADL, they may face severe financial penalties. These fines offset the legal costs
for plaintiffs, and are distributed to public interest organizations (such as CETOS) that are
working to better protect public health from exposure to substances that may cause cancer or
adverse reproductive/developmental effects.

attached storage could be a big bonus. It just seems that the prices are
still high. If you look at openfiler, it will do iscsi. But, I don't
know what the speed is if you don't have an accelerator on their system.
Anyone have any comments?
Buffalo has a couple appliances and I think they even sell them at
Fry's. It might be worth it to get iscsi support if you can. Or, get a
hackable device like that supports it. But, maybe the overhead is too
high without an accelerator?

MEXICO CITY —"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best," Frida Kahlo, Mexico's tortured surrealist artist often told people. "I am not sick. I am broken," she would add. "But I am happy as long as I can paint."
Standing on the threshold of the house in southwestern Mexico City where she lived as a child - and intermittently with her husband - I'm mesmerized by the loneliness I feel. The startling blue cobalt façade of the one-story stucco house does nothing to dispel the sadness as I peek into the world of the mythical woman whose life began within these walls on July 6, 1907, and ended there, on July 13, 1954.
When Hollywood re-enacted the ill-fated romance of the ancient world, with the 1960 movie "Cleopatra," Liz Taylor and Richard Burton created some steamy chapters of their own. South of the border, the electrifying, tragic saga of surrealist artist Kahlo and her husband, Mexico's most famous - and infamous - muralist Diego Rivera, was the burning page in the former Aztec capital. Like demigods of mythology and the Italian Renaissance - the protagonists of this epic need no surnames. They are, to this day simply: Frida y Diego.
Etched in the Mexican psyche of the 1930s through 1950s, the duo who caused a stir - politically, socially and artistically - is about to take center stage this fall, with the launch of the movie, "Frida," based on Hayden Herrera's, "Frida, A Biography of Frida Kahlo" (Harper and Row, 1983). When the stellar cast - Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd and Geoffrey Rush - unleash her life on the silver screen, there is no telling where Frida frenzy will lead.
Lifetime Of Pain
They met in 1928 when Rivera Diego was commissioned to paint a mural at the National Preparatory School, where Kahlo was a student. They married on Aug. 21, 1929 (she was 22, he was 43), embarking on a tempestuous marital journey which was to span nearly 25 years, marked by their divorce in 1940 - and their remarriage a year later.
Their conjugal drama ricocheted between love and hate, punctuated by affairs on both sides and rumors of her bisexuality. A notorious womanizer, Rivera's little black book of paramours included her younger sister Cristina and Mexican movie star Maria Felix, who died earlier this year. Leading the list of Kahlo's illustrious lovers was the exiled Communist leader Leon Trotsky, a longtime houseguest in their Coyoacan.
People who knew them said that they "fed off of each other's passion." Like meteors slicing through the universe on diverging paths, when they collided it was a dazzling burst of energy, lighting the core of their very being. Yet, despite their separate talents, passions and appetites they shared a unique bond: a consummate love of one another.
She would often quip, "I suffered two grave accidents in my life. One in which a streetcar knocked me down. The other accident is Diego."
Disabled by polio at age 6, and a victim of a serious bus accident in 1925 that, among other things, shattered her pelvis, broke her spinal column in three places and dislocated her foot, Kahlo was hurled into a life of numerous surgeries, bed rest and excruciating pain. She recorded all of her tortured emotions on canvas, painting her anger and hurt over her stormy marriage, a series of tragic miscarriages and physical suffering she endured daily.
Throughout adulthood, Kahlo disguised her "agonía" under a halo of bright ribbons and braids in her hair, decking herself out with ornate rings and earrings and swirls of colorful necklaces, and hiding her handicapped leg beneath vibrant peasant skirts and flamboyant costumes. These, along with her thick connecting eyebrows, became her trademark. As her health declined, the elaborate packaging of her broken body increased.
Kahlo always felt she was a mere "reflection of light in Diego's orbit." And while she was respected and loved around the world and greatly admired in Mexico, her only exhibit in her native country took place at the Palacio de Bellas Artes when she was in the throes of shutting down her tortured life, less than a year before she died.
She basks in a light all of her own now, carving herself a niche in Mexican mythology as she lures people from around the globe.
His And Hers
"Frida fever" has caused a flurry of pedestrian traffic to beat a path to the various places she called home. Recently restored shrines along her trail are drawing thousands to La Casa Azul (the Blue House), officially known as the Frida Kahlo Museum, and to the two adjoining residences she shared with Rivera in the trendy San Angel neighborhood.
The combined facility, dubbed the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-House Museum, were designed by longtime Rivera friend, architect Juan O'Gorman, who broke the Spanish colonial mold in the cobblestone neighborhood by constructing the German-inspired buildings. Connected by a second-floor bridge, the San Angel "his" and "hers" complex underscores the independence the couple maintained throughout their turbulent and unconventional union. Rivera commissioned a house where the couple could be "juntos, pero no revueltos" (together, but not mixed).
Rivera's house is preserved much as it was when the celebrated maestro was alive. His studio, cluttered with paint-stained tables, plaster molds and a vast collection of dried-out paintbrushes and partially used paints, looks like he just stepped away. The denim jacket he wore hangs next to his abandoned easel. Next to it, giant paint splattered boots stand ready for their owner's return.
Across the room, his death mask rests almost unnoticed next to scores of pre-Colombian figures he purchased as a peace offering each time the couple fought. There are many. Upstairs, a small room, which doubled as a changing room for his models, holds a single bed, surely too tiny for someone of his stature. A petite armoire surrenders his clothing.

Braxton Family Values Season 4 Premiere — What Did You Think?
Last night was the Season 4 premiere of Braxton Family Values and, boy, aren't we glad our favorite singing siblings have returned? On last night's premiere, "Bright Lights, Big Breakdowns," The sisters head to New York City for Toni Braxton's return to the Broadway stage in After Midnight, and of course a little drama follows.
Last night was the Season 4 premiere of Braxton Family Values and, boy, aren't we glad our favorite singing siblings have returned? On last night's premiere, "Bright Lights, Big Breakdowns," The sisters head to New York City for Toni Braxton's return to the Broadway stage in After Midnight, and of course a little drama follows.
Toni has quite a few jitters about the music and choreography she has to learn (in a short amount of time). Menawhile, Tamar makes her grand entrance announcing that it's her birthday and she intends to have a party where she expects to be showered with gifts.
Later, sisters Trina, Traci, and Towanda Braxton take a trip with their parents, Evelyn and Michael, to pick out a cake for Tamar. This is especially tempting for Evelyn, who is a fan of sweets but is diagnosed with diabetes. As Evelyn does a bit of taste testing, Michael becomes exceptionally flirtatious with his ex-wife, to her chagrin.
The night of Tamar's birthday dinner, Tamar is upset that Toni is unable to attend (due to a lupus flare up), but she moves past it when she sees Trina kissing her "ex", Gabe Solis. Tamar is initially confused, but Trina confirms that she and Gabe have been working things out for a couple months. Moments later, Trina and Towanda give a speech in Tamar's honor, and Tamar grows emotional when Traci tells her baby sister that she looks up to her.
However, the night takes an unexpected turn when Tamar's friend Charles says that she's been the same person over the years, despite what some people say. Trina coughs, and Tamar looks back at her sisters to tell them that it wasn't meant towards them. Towanda isn't buying it and asks Charles what he means, and if he's been in Tamar's life from the very beginning. Tamar tries her best to diffuse the situation and thanks all her guest for coming out to celebrate her 37th year of life.
Toni kills on her opening night and the family meets with her to celebrate her success. During the conversation, Tamar brings up the notion that Babyface's daughter is a "Tamartian," and when Toni asks Tamar was a "Tamartian" is, and Towanda responds a with a "rude child on Twitter." Tamar takes offense to Towanda's comment, and Towanda responds that some of her "Tamartians" wished for her children to be abused. Tamar rebutts with the notion that Towanda did something for fans to react that way, but several of the sisters jump in to say that Tamar shouldn't justify rude behavior. Evelyn and Toni stay out of the fray, but the next day Toni brings it up again at a family dinner.
She tells her sisters that she didn't like their behavior from the night before, and Tamar says she didn't like her sisters' behavior during her birthday dinner. Toni, ignorant of what happened, gets a recap from Trina on the back and forth between Towanda and Tamar's friend, Charles. Tamar thinks that Towanda feels guilty for how she's been treating (shady comments, etc.) Tamar, while Towanda thinks Charles was speaking about them, since Tamar felt the need to say he wasn't. The sisters have a bit of back and forth and finally Toni excuses herself, saying she refuses to take all the negative energy with her on stage.
Not long after, Tamar decides that she's going to leave rather than continue to argue with Towanda. Trina tells her baby sis to stay, but Tamar is unmoved. When Trina talks of how unsettling it is that the sisters can never resolve anything, Towanda responds that she's tired of keeping it all together.
Growing angrier by the second, Towanda says that she thinks no one cares about how she feels, and her rage spills out in her slamming the dinner table, smashing wares, and storming off. Trina holds Michael as she breaks down in tears, and Traci runs after Towanda to make sure she's OK.
As you can see, the drama's really ramped up this year, and from the looks of next week's trailer, it's only getting started.
A new episode of Braxton Family Values airs Thursday, August 28 at 9 p.m. ET on WE TV.

Tana says...
Having put lots of effort into making your gifts, take a bit of time to wrap them up. Sheets of cellophane are great and can be tied together with festive ribbons and decorations. Or look out for reasonably priced jars, dishes and cups, which make any gift look really special and can be used again afterwards.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Beat together 225g softened unsalted butter and 225g caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through. Sift in 225g flour, then add the finely grated zest of 1 lemon and mix until well combined. Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
- Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the juice of 1 1/2 lemons and 85g caster sugar to make the drizzle. Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping. Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Comments, questions and tips
You have to make this! The best moist cake i've ever made. I added a tsp baking powder to flour, the eggs i beat them together lightly. Instead of butter i use Stork. Not sure if it makes any difference but with cakes i always alternate some egg, then flour and repeat til used when mixing. Lastly i lined a loaf tin with greaseproof paper higher than tin which i think helped when drizzling to keep the topping in place. Fab
Well, it's always nice to see your sponge rise, but not as much as this one did! The suggested size cake tin does need seem adequate for the volume of the mixture, nor for the amount of expansion that occurs. I ended up with an overflowing cake which burned onto the bottom of the oven and I had to abandon the cake before it was cooked to prevent a fire and clear the smoke. Use a bigger tin, people.
mm well I haven't actually eaten it yet...just this second made it took less time than it says in the recipe to cook but then I did make two little cakes ( for my mum) as well as the loaf from the recipe. I was amazed at how much sugar goes into the lemon juice at the end too and that didn't seem the same as my Grandma's lemon drizzle. I'm sure she used icing sugar. Oh well proof is in the eating....
made this last night using golden caster sugar, I will have to adjust the recipe as there was no lemon flavour in the sponge itself, and also had to add in a whole load more of sugar for the drizzle topping, I think juice of 1 lemon is enough with about 100g of white granulated sugar just to get that extra crunch!
The daddy. If I could give this six stars, I would. Every time I've made it (for a different audience!) I get comments of "Oo, I didn't know you could bake! It was lovely!" And it's so easy!
By the way, it never looks quite like the picture; mine tend to rise and split a bit - but all the better for absorbing that drizzle!
TIP: Don't forget to line with one folded sheet - this wll save the drizle running off the side and you get a nice sweet crunch at the edge.

We are sitting in the airport in Detroit waiting for our flight to board in about one hour. I am so surprised at how fast our time went in Hungary. It's so amazing how only nine days ago our different groups of students didn't know each other whatsoever. Now, sitting in the airport, we are all laughing and talking to each other.
Our last day in Budapest was one of the best. First thing in the morning we went to the large public market where, according to my host, is the most Hungarian experience of them all. Walking in to this place was literally breath taking.
I loved seeing all of the Hungarian crafts and foods that they make. I LOVED the jars of vegetables that had faces on them! These were all over! We had such an amazing time searching through the stands for the perfect presents for our friends and family back home. This was such an amazing experience.
Us Art Education majors got the chance to go to "Gerbeaud" one of the most famous desert places in Europe. Celebrities like Princess Diana, Madonna and Brad Pitt have eaten in this shop. The deserts were absolutely amazing. That is one thing that I hands down LOVED in Hungary: The desserts.
My Sundae was huge! It was Esterhazy torte cake with vanilla and walnut ice cream.
On the way to our last dinner together we had the most amazing view of a beautiful blue sky over the National Museum. This was quite a conclusion to our experience to our trip.
I never expected to have such an amazing experience in Hungary and meet such amazing people. This is an experience that I will truly never forget. I loved Hungary and I hope one day that I can return to perhaps experience even more of the amazing Hungarian culture.

If you look at Charles Darwin's notebooks, you find meticulously recorded measurements such as 3 32/64 inch.
As a schoolboy I would have been taught to simplify this to 3 1/2 inch, one half inch being preferred to the cumbersome thirty-two sixty-fourths of an inch. However, Darwin recorded the length in sixty-fourths to indicate the level of precision of his measurements.

Congratulations to Tamera Mowry-Housley! The Real co-host and her husband Adam Housley are expecting another baby in July, who will join big brother Aden, 2. The actress shared the exciting news on her Instagram account with a photo of the positive pregnancy test. "We are thrilled to announce we are #ClearBlueConfirmed! Can't wait to meet baby #2!"
UPDATE: It's a GIRL! Although the mom-to-be wasn't planning on finding out the baby's sex, Mowry-Housley's co-hosts on The Real called up her husband to convince him to spill the beans. "I love you guys, but I gotta deal with one woman when I go home and I wanna make sure that she's cool," he said over the phone. But, the excitement got the best of Tamera, who took the phone and said, "I wanna know!" The dad-to-be then revealed, "I am scared out of my mind. We are having a girl!"
