...and sometimes, it's not! :) This has been one major thing I have learned about motherhood. I could give tons of examples. But I will just share two...
Our mealtimes have changed DRASTICALLY in the last few weeks. First, we started (and now have almost completed!) our transition to whole milk. But we are also (with the exception to baby cereal which I want to do as long as she will eat it for the iron) totally off baby food! ALL big girl, table food! YAY! And a little scary. But she is enjoying it and seems to be eating well. More and more is getting into her mouth, and I have learned to love the plastic bibs with a pocket at the bottom to catch her "misses"! HA!
I used to give her food in these (although she has PINK ones!)...
There is a pad that static clings to the highchair tray, and it has a suction cup. And the plates and bowls just stick right on there. Well, that was then, before she really ate like there was no tomorrow. Now, I can't put all of her food on her tray at once. She has discovered that food tastes good, and she wants to eat it all. At the same time. And shovels it in like she is afraid I will take it away! HA! So we have started using these wonderful little plates, and mommy keeps it on the table and just feeds her off of it....
Super simple, right!? And, they are dishwasher safe! I wash them on the bottom rack, on sanitize/high heat, and so far so good! Plus, a pack of 5 costs the same as ONE of the fancy suction cup ones! Can't beat that!
So that is my example of when simple is best. Here is my example of when more really is MORE!!!
My Buggy Bagg! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Now I will say I have had some quality issues. The zipper broke on our first outing, and recently a part of the buckle has broken off (which I had to pay $3 to replace because I bought from Amazon.com and not a dealer, and so it doesn't have a warranty. Blah!). But we use this ALL.THE.TIME! Really! And it was great when she was tiny because I could prop her up with the pillow. Now she uses the pillow to nap when Walmart is just too boring. Usually when it is slow and no one is playing with her. :) It is padded, has lots of pockets, it easy to slip on and off- although they say you can do it while holding your baby. They have obviously never held a baby of Ava's activity level! I will say, if I have to replace my BB at some point, I think I am going to get a different fabric. White has become my nemesis (because of the aforementioned food transition...)
In other "Ava" news, I keep hoping/wishing/praying that the spit up will stop. Every one tells me that it will when she walks. That is what they said about her turning 1 too. No such luck. But I do think it is funny that I, of all people, have a kid that pukes all the time. Just because when I was growing up, and even into my 20s, I never wanted kids because I was sooooo afraid of having to clean up vomit. Like WOULD.NOT.DO.IT!!!! Ugh. Anyway... But now, her spit-up (which, take my word, is much more like vomit with each passing day. And if you have a kid who spit up while eating solids, you know I don't lie!) is NO BIG DEAL! I am like, "Oh. I have puke on me. Okay...". Seriously no biggie. I think God did this to prove a point, and to help me over my fears. I would just like to say (and I have said it to Him almost everyday for a while now...) that I am OVER MY FEAR! So she can stop aaannnnnyyyyy day now. Really. Anyday. :)
I promise to get back to updates about the party and the house (***gasp*** I found the most wonderful house! But we still are not on the market. So it will sell too....I know there is a wonderful new house out there for us. Patience. I need patience. Of Job, apparently....) soon.
By the way, do you like how I have little sidebars in ( ) all the time. Hope you can read my writing. I tend to write how I think and talk. And yes, I get off task when I think and talk too. Drives my husband bonkers because I go in 12 different directions at once!

We are getting a raise!!!!
Okay, not really. But it's going to feel like it! I took Ava in for her 1 year check-up yesterday, and the doctor said those two magical words- WHOLE MILK! YAY!!!! No more formula, no more books, no more breastfeeding Nazis' dirty looks! HAHA! I was talking to my friend Amanda today, who just switched her 7 month old from breast to formula (mostly). And she was talking about how much better her baby is and how much happier they both are now that they are using formula....
I read an article the other day in LR Family about breast vs. bottle, and the person who wrote the piece was clearly and outspokenly a breastfeeding advocate. And that is cool with me. (and I promise when I started out writing this, I didn't intend for it to be a breast vs bottle post). On the magazines FB page, they posted a link to a blog about the pro's and con's of both breastfeeding and formula feeding, which I guess was in response to the backlash they got from the article. But I thought it was funny that the blog's writer says in the first paragraph that she is an outspoken advocate of BF and only formula fed the last of her 5 children because of the death of her young child, the premature birth of her baby, and the subsequent stress involved that made her milk dry up. So much for serving up an unbiased opinion!
So here is my take: Hello. My name is Rachel. And I chose to formula feed my baby. There I said it. Now before you judge, please let me explain....
We wanted to breastfeed Ava. We had so many people tell us that it was the "right" thing to do for our child. Even had a few people tell us that we would be bad parents who didn't love their baby enough if we didn't breastfeed. But I wasn't informed and didn't understand the ins and outs of breastfeeding. I assumed that when Ava came, she would just latch right on and off we would go into this magical world of breastfeeding. After all, it is natural- right?!?! Well.... Ava came 3 weeks early. Which isn't much. But for whatever reason, she just refused to latch on. REFUSE. Like I would put my boob in her mouth and she would jerk away. The lactation consultant showed me all of her tricks. Nipple shield, football hold, rubbing my nipple on her face to trigger the routing reflex. NOTHING WORKED. The kid would not eat. So the lactation consultant suggested we just use our pump. Pump? What pump? After all, breastfeeding was natural. It is supposed to just happen. We didn't get a pump. So we left the hospital that Saturday afternoon with a new baby and a new (and VERY FREAKING EXPENSIVE TOP OF THE LINE THERE GOES HER COLLEGE FUND) breast pump.
Now the idea was to pump until she was strong enough and able to latch on, at which point we would only pump when needed. Ava, my sweet little baby, had other plans. She would never latch on. And not for a lack of trying on my part. I used to spend every waking hour (wish I was joking) just trying to get her to latch on. Maybe I tried too hard, I don't know. But she just never would. So I had to pump EVERY.SINGLE.FEEDING. Now if you have ever had a baby and pumped, you know why this is such a big deal. Not only does it add at least 30 minutes to each feeding, but it isn't the most pleasant experience. OK. IT FREAKING HURTS! Not to mention it really gives you a whole new respect for dairy cows. And our pump has like 450 different parts that must be washed after every use. So lets do the math, shall we???
24 hours in a day.
She was eating roughly every three hours, or 8 times a day.
So 8 feedings each day, and each feeding took about 30 minutes for her to eat. Plus 30 minutes to pump for the next feeding and clean up. So One hour for each feeding. That is 8 hours out of my day that was just spent feeding and pumping. That left 16 hours for other things. Like sleep. Showers. and feeding myself. Doesn't look too bad on paper, but when those 16 hours are spent in 1-2 hour increments, it is miserable.
But I was doing it. Because I loved my baby and I wanted to be a good mom. So I did it. For 7 weeks. 7 of the most exhausting and miserable weeks of my life. (That is 196 hours minimum I spent pumping, by the way. I am not bitter. But the last blister just healed a few weeks ago. FYI)
Around week 5 I started to feel bad. Like, REALLY REALLY BAD. Flu bad. Fever. Chills. Aches. And my boobs hurt. BOTH of my boobs hurt. Like Babe Ruth had used them to practice those famous home runs bad. OUCH. Yup. Double Mastitis. Don't worry. I pumped through it. DOUBLE OUCH. Because I loved my baby. Fast forward two weeks. Feeling really really bad again. Flu bad again. Fever-chills-aches. Again. And more Babe Boobs. OOOUUCH! And Cole was back to work for both of my bouts with double mastitis. So I was sick and taking care of a newborn. Not a fun time.
On top of all of that...
*** and I really didn't want to share this yet because it's not over. But if you read my blog, you know Cole is in the Army- and I just want to say for all of the freaks out there that might come across this blog, I am the granddaughter of a US Marine sharpshooter, the wife of a US Army officer, and I am well armed, have a security system, dogs, and an arsenal of weapons under my bed, and a crack shot-
Well, Ava was born in February, 2010. April 14, 2010- Cole deploys overseas.
SO, in the midst of having a baby, dealing with the BF issues and sickness, I am also trying to emotionally and physically prepare for my husband to deploy for a year. I JUST. COULDN'T.DO.IT. anymore. So after 7 weeks of pumping and breast milk, Ava switched to Similac Sensitive.
She has been a different child. And I mean that in the best way possible. I know the "old school" thought was that a baby can't be intolerant of it's mother's milk. I think that is pure crap. Because I don't care what medical school says, or what doctors say. Ava, I believe with all of my heart, was intolerant of my milk. Her reflux was better. She slept better, she was happier. She cried less...just all around better. Books may say otherwise, but I know what I saw- what happened when we switched to formula. She was better.
And honestly, so was I. The week we decided to change to formula, I must have taken 20 showers. Because that was my quiet, alone time. And I would stand in the shower and just sob and sob because I thought that I was giving up. Taking the easy way. Not loving my child enough. But really, that wasn't true. Cole and I made this decision because I was miserable and exhausted, and because as a pilot, even when he was home those first two months, he couldn't help with the nighttime feedings because he HAS to get sleep. HAS TO. So it was all me. Then when he left, it was ALLLLL me. And I needed sleep. I needed peace. I needed to be as happy as I could.
And I probably shouldn't admit this in print, but I think all moms, if they were honest, would admit to having the same feelings at one point during those first few months- I was beginning to resent my baby. Because I was SO tired and it hurt SO bad (the last few weeks, pumping was rubbing blisters on me, even with the largest cups- because I was so swollen). I won't say that I loved her more after we switched. Because that's not true. But I will say that I enjoyed her more. And still do. And for us, for our family, it was worth the switch. The money that it cost us. Because time with Ava is priceless. And that is what formula gave me.
I know everyone is different, every child is different. And for whatever reason, Ava would never latch on. And I look back now and wish I would have told those people who tried to guilt me into breastfeeding to STICK IT! ;) Will I try again with my next baby- YES. Will I know more what to expect and be better prepared- YES. Will I feel guilty about switching to formula if it doesn't work out- NO. I know breast milk is what God gave us. But he also gave us a brain. Science. The ability to improve our lives. And we, as a human race, have used those tools and done that. So if science and the ideas that come from God-given brains help me to be a better mom, I am okay with that.
I think breastfeeding gets a bad name partly because advocates use guilt and manipulation (and at times, down right lies) to try to sway new parents their way. Parents who just want to do what is best for their baby and their family. I don't think many people read this little blog. But if someone does, a new mom or mother-to-be who is trying to decide- I hope this helps you understand that you have choices. And that you are not a bad parent no matter what you decide- or at least that this particular decision doesn't make you a bad parent. :)
Whew! Sorry for that rant. Not sure where that one came from, but I feel much better!!!!!

All About Ava
So Ava and I went over to my parent's house for dinner Saturday night. I had planned on the whole big family and some close friends going out to eat for Ava's real birthday (her party is in April...), but my dad took a nasty fall at work a few weeks ago, and had surgery recently to repair a fractured leg. So he is in no shape or mood to go much of anywhere! So we decided to keep it low key, just us. Now I should first explain something. My mom makes cakes. Like MAKES CAKES. Wedding cakes, birthday cakes, BIG cakes! So we are used to having major, elaborate birthday cakes in my family. But since my dad's fall, she has been busy with him, so I just went to Walmart and got a cake for us to share. It has been YEARS since I have had a walmart cake- and it wasn't too bad! But shhh! Don't tell my mom! ;) Anyway, my sister called a couple of hours before dinner, and asked me if Ava was going to do a smash cake. I told her no, that I figured we would just wait for her party. She told me that she HAD to do one, and that she had already got her one. So I reluctantly agreed (thinking I would back out later). When I got to my parent's, and saw the smash cake, I just cracked up! It was the tiny version of the bigger one I bought for everyone to share! HAHA! I love my sister, and I love when we do stuff like that!
So I gave in (like she knew I would) and let Ava do a smash cake. I guess somewhere in me, I thought she would be a dainty little princess and just pick at it. Not my kid. She went at it full force. As Cole said, "Yup! That is definitely a Brewer!" HAHA!
And please excuse the "singing"...not one person in my family can carry a tune very well, and the worst of us all is me- and I am holding the camera!!!!

All About Ava
I would just first like to say that I had every intention of writing this post last night after the birthday girl had gone to bed, but the day was much more emotionally taxing than I thought it would be, and after indulging myself with some spinach and artichoke pizza, I turned in early. I needed a little extra sleep anyway!!! So with that said...
- I remember when we came home from the hospital, we just sat her (she was in her infant carrier/car seat) in the middle of the floor in the kitchen, and kind of looked at each other like "now what???" We didn't take her out I don't think until our parents all arrived. We were so scared!
- That first night at home, she slept in her pack-n-play cradle. And every noise and grunt and squeak she would make (oh how I miss those newborn sounds!) Cole and I would both jump up and run over to her!!!
- We were so thankful for double sinks in our master bath because for the first month, one of them was designated for washing my pump parts after each feeding (our little princess never would latch on, so I had to pump EVERY.SINGLE.FEEDING for 7 weeks...then after two rounds with double mastitis and some other issues, I broke down (literally too- I was inconsolable for a week) and gave up. We put her on formula, and we were BOTH happier for it!!!
- I remember after my epidural was out (which was the afternoon after Ava was born) and my cath was out, the nurse asked me if I needed to use the bathroom. I told her I was okay. She said that I had to go before I could be released, so I jumped up and headed to go #1!!! HA! I thought she was telling me that I was going to be sent home as soon as I peed! Nope...it was still that next afternoon.
- We bought our pump from the hospital lactation consultant. I didn't even think to buy a pump- our baby would just latch right on, right?! HA! SO glad that we did. Of course, Cole had to have the top of the line one. So we have a REALLY nice, only used for 7 weeks, pump for our next baby!
- The dogs did really well with Ava. We sent a grandparent over with a baby blanket we had used in the hospital, so they could get used to her smell. We were told that Hugo got really attached to it...and he is still attached to her!
At Ava's birthday party, we are asking guests not to bring a toy for Ava, but if they want to do something, they can either bring a donation (small bow or toy) for Arkansas Children's Hospital, or they can simply make a donation in her honor to a favorite charity. She is so blessed and has so much already, and we really want her to be a blessing to others and to learn the idea of compassion and giving. So what a great way to start!!!
BUT... Mommy and Daddy just HAD to get their sweet girl some gifts for her real birthday!!! Here are some pictures from yesterday...she really enjoyed her new kitchen. The car and the ball pit might be enjoyed a little later... ;)
Don't you just love that little bum!?!?!?
She really loved her little kitchen toy! I can't wait until she is old enough (and we have room for) a big kitchen set!!! I loved mine as a kid, and I know she will too!!!

They grow up so fast...
***I must confess, I really need to be cooking my dinner, folding clothes, doing dishes, etc. right now. But I am writing a blog post. Oh well....***
Ava has started climbing on everything the last week. She really wasn't even pulling up much a couple of weeks ago. Now she is pulling up and trying to "hurl" herself onto and over things!!! It is crazy to me to think about this day one year ago. Friday is her birthday. February 11. But February 9th was almost her birthday. I went into "early" labor on the night of the 8th. They stopped it and sent us home, but as the nurse wheeled out a very sad pregnant woman and her equally disappointed husband, she assured us that we would be back within the week if I continued to progress as I had been. She was right! That Thursday, my water broke and off we went to become parents! You can read the whole story here, or just wait until Friday! I am sure I will post about it then on her birthday! ;)
Anyway, my little monkey has only stood up in her crib once. But I am nervous. Because she stands a little higher in her crib (without bumpers) than the girl in the picture below. And with her knack for climbing, I just know a fall on her head is around the corner! I am considering a baby tent for her crib. But I don't know- I am going to talk to her doctor about it Friday. But I am going to order her one of these (in a cuter fabric of course!). These are at BRU, and they protect the crib from those precious little teeth marks! HA! The crib and nursery furniture we have was purchased to use for ALL of our kids, hopefully two more- LORD willing! So we really want it to stay nice, since the last baby will be using it all the way up (it converts into a full sized bed).
I just wanted to share a few pictures of my sweet girl! Sorry they are such poor quality. With a busy baby (or is she a toddler now? I don't know???) it is hard to run and grab my camera, but my cell phone is always nearby. I love my iPhone, but the camera really is lacking!!!

Yummy (and Healthy) Recipe!!!
So it's another snow day here in Arkansas. Which, for a stay-at-home mom with a child under one (for one more week. Tear. My baby will be 1 a week from today...) it really is like any other day except I can't go anywhere which drives me BONKERS! Ugh. Anyway, I find that it is really hard to eat right as a stay at home mom, especially on snow days when there isn't anything else to do.
But I recently found a recipe for a Weight Watchers Eggs Florentine that is just too good and filling not to share. Now I haven't started WW. Yet. BUT my mom has lost over 100lbs. on WW and so I am very familiar with the principles behind the plan. I really like that it is all about portions and HOW to eat, as opposed to what to eat or pre-packaged food. So I plan on joining soon. But I have started trying out some new recipes that are WW or WW friendly, or could be made to be. And this one is a winner!!!
Yum, right?!?! And only 3 pts per serving!!!! So this plate only cost me 6 pts! So for the "cost" of a frozen lean cuisine, I got a hot, cheesy, filling homemade meal in like 10-15 minutes! Plus, I think I get extra credit for cooking and not just heating up. But that is another post.
So here is the recipe! If you try it, I hope you enjoy!!!
You will need:
4 large egg whites
1 tsp of water
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp red onion, finely minced
1 cup packed baby spinach leaves
2 slices of WW cheese singles (these have saved my diet plan!)
1 WW wheat english muffin, split and toasted. NOTE: I couldn't find the WW brand, so I got the Thomas 100 Calorie brand. Not sure if this impacted the points, but I don't think it would matter much as it is wheat and high fiber.
1. Combine egg whites, water, salt, and pepper in bowl and set aside. Do not whisk or beat.
2. Heat medium saute pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray (I like the kind made with olive oil). Add onion and saute until soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until spinach wilts. Add egg white mix and cook until egg whites are opaque. With large spatula, flip and cook other side (I am awful with eggs, so mine ended up being more scrambled. But still the same taste.) Combine the eggs and veggies, then cover with cheese slices. Let the cheese melt over the eggs and veggies. Divide with spatula and place on top of the muffin halves. I divided my eggs/veggies first and then added the cheese. I think this makes more sense. :)
The recipe came from a WW ad in the Feb/March edition of Taste of Home magazine, a subscription from my Nana as one of my Christmas gifts! Thank you Nana!!!
Bon Appetit!!!

New (pseudo) Window Treatments...
I have been unhappy with the curtains in our living room for a long time. Really, I was never really happy with them. We don't have any windows in the room, just double french doors to the back deck. So window treatments are more for look than function, as we never closed them- just the blinds. My friend from high school, Shannon, is a fabulous home decorator, and she "cheats" on a lot of her window treatments. When she posted about her living room curtains, I knew I wanted to borrow...ok, STEAL, her idea. She purchased her drape hardware at HobLob, so this morning Ava and braved the cold and headed to the mecca of home decor! I went in search of some similar hardware (which are just wall hooks) and I found (I think) the very ones she used!
I was going to use the idea with my existing curtains, but I have really been wanting to brighten the room up a bit. So while looking at the fabrics, I fell in LURV with this beautiful upholstery fabric!
Of course, it was one of the most expensive ones...BUT it was 30% off. So I got it for like 19.00/sqft. I bought 2 1/2 yards, and some hem (no sew, iron on, heavy duty) tape. And off I went to make my pseudo window treatments...
Here are a few pictures of what was there....
So after cutting the fabric in half, I got out my rarely used iron (it is used more for crafts than clothes. I am a throw it in the dryer type girl!) and got to work!
I trimmed the edges so that they were not showing from the front.
After I had "hemmed" (via the iron-on tape) the edges, I attached my drapery rings. I wasn't going to "hem" the top, but I ended up going back and doing it because it wouldn't lay down without it. I got the rings at HobLob too, and there were 12 in the package. Since there are 5 hooks per side, I only had to buy one package. SCORE!
Naptime was over before I could do the other side, but here is the first side finished. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out! Just what this room needed I think! They really bring height and character to the room, and because that is the first thing you see when walking into the home from the front door, I am glad that I made them so dramatic!

Splish Splash....
Bath time is always a fun and soaking experience with Ava. She is a wiggle worm. And when I say that, I cannot emphasize enough the WIGGLE part!!! In fact, one of the founding members of her pediatric clinic saw her when she was about 3 months...now this lady is, well, advanced in age. Like maybe 70. And she couldn't believe how busy Ava was. She commented that she is the busiest and wiggliest baby she had ever seen in all her years of practice! Nice. I had hoped that Ava would calm a bit after she became mobile and had better motor skills. HAHA! Boy was I wrong! Let's just say, the dogs have had to learn to run faster, and the house is now baby proof for a reason! I am worried about the day she starts walking...because I think running will soon follow!
Soapy baby! She is cutting teeth #7 and 8, so right now there is ALWAYS something in her mouth!
On a totally different subject, Cole and I (admittedly mostly me) are seriously planning and prepping to put our house on the market. I would love to have it up for sale by early summer, but that might just be a dream. I don't know. At any rate, I am working hard on getting things "buyer ready" and making plans for what I will need to pack away when we do put it on the market. I am even putting off a picture wall for our family photos because I know that I will have to take them down when we list the house. SO not like me!

Girls, pucker up that sexy pout with the help of Skin by Monica!
Skin by Monica, founded by model/actress Monica Olson, is a line of organic beauty products (and products for men and babies, too). I came across a beauty product that particularly had me ranting and raving.
I basically flipped out when I tried this new organic lip plumper from Skin by Monica. I've managed to try out 5 or 6 different vegan/organic lip plumpers in the past few months and I must say that this one by far has been the most impressive in its lip plumpin' abilities.
Skin by Monica's Peppermint Plump for Sexy Lips ($18.95) works almost immediately after putting it on. It's uber tingley and minty and gives your lips plenty of plumptitude and shine.
It's a pretty amazing deal considering most plumpers on the market are $40 and up. Also this 3.5ml tube of gloss is going to last you for quite some time. And hey, it's organic – that's reason enough to give this plumper a whirl.
You can apply the gloss to bare lips or over color for some added shine. This gloss is enriched with grapefruit seed extract (a natural preservative), macadamia nut oil, castor bean oil, menthol and camphor (tingley ingredients).
I happen to be a huge peppermint aficionado, but if minty bliss isn't quite your cup of tea (or tube of gloss), this amazing, fast-acting plumper is also available in raspberry. Yum! You can also buy lip gloss (plump-free) ($12.95) in cherry and strawberry.
Skin by Monica has so many wonderful organic products that I highly recommend you buy their Travel Kit for Women ($34.95) which has a little bit of everything and truly is perfect for when you're on the go. This kit contains Luscious Moisturizing Shampoo, Silk Moisturizing Conditioner, Nude Moisture Rich Body Lotion, Dry Antiperspirant & Deodorant, Perfection-C Vitamin C creme, O2 pH Balancing Spray and Restore MSM Facial Cleanser. This kit also makes a perfect gift.

I purchased the dry antiperspirant and it works very well. It is rare to find a deodorant and antiperspirant that doesnt include alluminum. The bottle is big, about 3 ounces which is good cause it last a little longer than my old dedorant which was only 1.5 ounces

The Candle of Invocation exploit is pretty cheesy. Basically, a player uses a candle to gate in an extra-planar being that grants more than one wish per summoning. One wish is used to get another candle, and the other(s) can be used to do whatever you want (after all, they're wishes).
Is there any way, using RAW, to disallow this in D&D 3.5 and/or Pathfinder (where the item also exists in the same form)? If not, is there a setting or something similar in which it won't work?

Co-«d Debaters Oppose Oregon State Representatives in Debate. "Resolved, That tbe Russian system would be applicable to western civilization" was the subject for argument when Betty Henninger and Evelyn Caldwell, 8. C. debaters met Oregon State representatives Friday afternoon in Porter hall for the flrst extemporaneous, non-decl-sional debate ot the season. Since the question was first an nounced al noon Friday, the four contestants had less than tour hours to prepare for the debate. In upholding the affirmative side of tbe question Alice Ingall*, Oregon State speaker, made the striking statement, "Capitalism will fail; socialism will take Its place, and sovietism must bridge the gup between the two systems." Her colleague, Dorothy Dtuschell, emphasized the "growing importance of socialism " In both constructive speeches and in their refutation the S. C. women presented a com lush e group of fa ts In defense of the negative. Miss Caldwell, first negative speaker, built her constructive argu ment around the fact that sovietism in inherently unsound, and Miss Henninger'* plan wag to point out that sovietism would not be applicable to western civilization. She also called attention to defects in the argument* presented by tbe visiting debaters. Marc N. Goodnow of the journalism department, and field repre sentative for a recent merchandising survey of the state, bas written a report of the findings, which indicates that retail trade conditions in California are reported to be improving. "Cilru* districts of California are showing better volumes than others," states the report. "In some communities, failures have reduced competition and increased volume* for those remaining. Inventories in many instances are too low, resulting in expensive form* of small quantity buying, or in actual loss of patronage." The merchant who sits idly by, awaiting the return of good business, however, I* deluding him-•elf," continues Mr. Goodnow. Now more than ever, there i* a need for clear thinking and planning and for use of *ound business promotion principles, including budgets, control and advertising." j "Indications which point io bet-| ter conditions in trade *lso point to greater competition fiom chains, not only because of chain-store expansion but because of chain-stock expansion. There is every evidence that these developments will be heaviest in the midwest and Pacific areas, and along with th^rn will no doubt come a rise in price lines up to $10 for many of tbi>se multiple organization* that heretofore hav* *old merchandise under one dollar." Mr. Goodnow believes that vast new fields of merchandise as yet untouched by the chains will surely be entered, *nd it may be expected that research and experiment will lead these *ame organizations inlo improvement of *er-vice merchandise, and customer relations.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel criticized Congress on Saturday as "astoundingly irresponsible" and said that using threats to shut down the government to satisfy a political whim is dangerously shortsighted.
Hagel, who oversees as much as half of the government civilians who would be furloughed next week if Congress doesn't reach a budget agreement, told reporters that the impasse threatens to delay paychecks to troops serving in Afghanistan.
"When you look at the greatest democracy in the world, the largest economy in the world and we're putting our people through this - that's not leadership. That's abdication of responsibilities," Hagel told reporters on his plane en route to South Korea. "This is an astoundingly irresponsible way to govern."
Hagel added: "It is really dangerously shortsighted and irresponsible, because what this will lead to in the United States of America, if this continues, is we will have a country that's ungovernable."
Roughly 400,000 Defense Department civilians could face furloughs if Congress fails to agree on a short-term spending plan to keep the government running. And while military troops would continue to work, and eventually be paid, a shutdown would delay their pay until funding was restored.
There are about 800,000 civilians in the department and 1.4 million active-duty military members. About half of the civilians would be exempt from furloughs, and they would only be paid retroactively if the legislation specifies it.
Senators on Friday sent legislation back to the House that would keep the government's doors open until Nov. 15. Majority Democrats removed a provision to defund the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare. But House Republicans are fractured, with tea partyers insisting that they will not support a measure than includes funding for President Barack Obama's health care law.
Hagel, a former senator who served as an enlisted soldier in the Vietnam War, said lawmakers need to stop and think about the young service members who may be married and have one or two children at home. A lot of them, he said, don't have a lot of excess money and going without a paycheck, even for a short time, would be difficult.
Hagel said much of his time in recent weeks has been spent in meetings with his budget staff as they struggle with plans for the government shutdown while also trying to identify more savings in order to meet looming budget cuts.
Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale, in a Friday briefing, told reporters that the Pentagon will be able to launch any military operations ordered by the president. Asked whether a military strike into Syria, for example, could be conducted under the shutdown, Hale said yes, if ordered by senior leaders.
Combat units, including troops in Afghanistan or ships in the Mediterranean Sea, can continue to conduct activities and training that are part of any military operation. Other training not tied to a specific operation would not go on.
Hale said it's not yet clear whether the shutdown would impede the ability of service members leaving Afghanistan as part of the troop drawdown. But those decisions would be made by commanders on the ground.
Hagel, who is heading to meetings with top defense and diplomatic leaders in South Korea and Japan, said it is important that they know that the impasse won't affect U.S. relations with other countries.
"I think it's very, very important that we continue to assure our allies in this region of the world that we are committed to these alliances and, yes, we have the ups and downs like democracies do and we'll work our way through these domestic challenges," he said.

Speed control by means of a frequency converter is without no doubt the most efficient way of adjusting booster pump performance exposed to variable flow requirements. The speed control method results in a new Q/H curve at reduced head and flow.
The characteristics of the curves remain the same. However, when speed is reduced the curves become more flat, as the head is reduced to a higher degree than the flow.
For example, if the flow is reduced by 20%, the motor's power consumption falls to 65% compared to the original consumption.

Successful 'getaway' for Cassini
The NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft successfully performed a 'getaway' manoeuvre on 28 December to keep it from following the ESA Huygens probe into the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan.
This manoeuvre established the required geometry between the probe and the orbiter for radio communications during the probe descent on 14 January. The probe has no navigating capability, so the Cassini orbiter had been placed on a deliberate collision course with Titan to ensure the accurate delivery of the probe.
The Huygens probe successfully detached from the Cassini orbiter on 25 December. All systems performed as expected. The Huygens probe will be the first human-made object to explore on-site the unique environment of Titan, whose chemistry is thought to be very similar to that of early Earth before life arose.
Next for Cassini is a fly-by of Saturn's icy moon Iapetus on 31 December. Iapetus is Saturn's two-faced moon - one side is very bright, and the other is very dark. One scenario for this striking difference is that the moon's surface is being resurfaced by some material spewing from within.
The Cassini-Huygens mission has been in orbit around Saturn since 1 July 2004, and has returned stunning pictures of Saturn, its rings and many moons.
Titan has already been the subject of two close fly-bys by Cassini. With 43 more fly-bys planned and the in situ measurements made by the probe, it is likely only a matter of time before Titan's secrets begin to unfold.

Before settling into your seat at the movie theater for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2," you might want to look around. The person sitting next to you could be Kelly Clarkson, Nina Dobrev, 50 Cent or one of the many other celebs who are admitted Twi-hards. Here's a look at a few of the famous peeps who are just as obsessed with the series as you!
Kelly Clarkson: After watching the first "Twilight," Clarkson became so obsessed with the vampire saga that she gave props to it on her website. "And by the way, i'm now on 'eclipse' of the twilight series and so is my mom, my sister and all of my friends," she wrote in 2009. "you could say we're a bit addicted and all searching for our very own personal 'edward.'" A few months later, she even serenaded a cardboard cutout of Robert Pattinson during one of her concerts! The "American Idol" alum also has confessed that her song "Empty As I Am" was inspired by the "New Moon" movie.
50 Cent: While he's definitely not a teenage girl, the rapper raves about "Twilight" as if he is one! When asked during an MTV interview in 2010 which celebrity he'd like to join his group G-Unit, 50 Cent answered Robert Pattinson. "'Twilight' ain't no joke," he said. The 37-year-old, who attended the red carpet premiere of "New Moon," also gushed about the franchise when he appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2009, citing its special effects and its impressive ability to rake in the money.
Nina Dobrev: The "Vampire Diaries" star is a "Twilight" fan, at least in part, for selfish reasons. The franchise helped to create the vampire phenomenon that blazed a path for her show, a fact she's more than willing to acknowledge. "I definitely love that I'm part of [the vampire trend]. I love the 'Twilight' movies," Dobrev told MTV after "Eclipse" cleaned up at 2011 MTV Movie Awards. "I think that we're all really happy for each other," Nina noted when asked by MTV News' Josh Horowitz if she felt a kinship with her vampire counterparts. "I'm very happy that they exist because we exist because of them. Their success is our success. I'm kind of sad the movies are almost over."
Rosario Dawson: The "Seven Pounds" actress found the vampire story addictive, to say the least. "I just read the first book, it's ridiculous, it's like crack cocaine!" she exclaimed to People in 2008. "I read it for 10 hours straight until I finished it." Dawson seemed to have a hunch as to why she liked the tome: "It's like Judy Blume and Anne Rice had a child and made this book. I'm so attracted."
Adam Lambert: The "American Idol" runner-up publicly lobbied to get his song "Suburban Decay" on one of the sagas soundtracks. "Hey, 'Eclipse,'" he asked during an interview with MTV in 2009, "want my song?" Lambert dubbed the tune "too theatrical" for his album, and noted that it contained a verse about "bloodlust." Although he didn't make the soundtrack, there don't seem to be any hard feelings, since Lambert is still a vampire lover. He dressed as a vampire for Halloween in 2009 and 2012, and posed for a picture as a vampire for a photo just last year when he ran into Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first "Twilight" movie, pretending to take a bite out of her neck.
Barack Obama: It's much easier to understand why the President of the United States is thinking about the Bella and Edward romance when you think about the fact that Obama's a dad to two tweens. Back when Stephenie Meyers' books first became all the rage, it was reported that President-Elect Obama and his oldest daughter Malia, who was then 10, were bonding over the series. "They read all the Harry Potter books together and have moved on to the Twilight series," a source told Us Weekly.
Ryan Seacrest: The "American Idol" host has been known to read excerpts of the "Twilight" books on his morning radio show in Los Angeles. For the dramatic scene of Edward and Bella's breakup in the book behind "New Moon," Seacrest even lit a candle that he could blow out during the scene's final line. "Love, life, meaning … over," he read dramatically.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner: The Kardashian sisters' ambitious younger half siblings Kylie, 15, and Kendall, 17, who are regulars at "Twilight" movie premieres, credit sci-fi franchises, such as "Twilight," "Harry Potter," and "The Hunger Games," with inspiring their next project. The models and Seventeen magazine fashion columnists plan to co-author a novel for young adults that will come out in summer 2013. We suggest that they call it Daybreak!

It takes two to tango. Doesn't it?
My mother and I have almost nothing in common. It took me many years to realize this, after extended periods of bumbling efforts to forge a bond with ingredients that couldn't be found in our reserves.
I am as expressive as an emoticon while my mother harbors the post-Holocaust mentality of keeping it all holed up, probably since she was brought up by a survivor of Majdanek. While I have always been blessed with the security of my mother's love, it was my mother's like that I yearned for but I felt I seldom achieved. After I got married and began my own family, my penchant for a blissful maternal/daughter bond amplified. But so did the fighting. Every visit turned into a verbal spar rooted in deep-seated personality differences.
Every visit turned into a verbal spar rooted in deep-seated personality differences.
My husband was rather manly about the whole thing. "Give it up," he said. "She'll never be who you want her to be."
"Ha!" I said. "I'm not giving it up. She needs to understand blah, blah, blah. She needs to see blah, blah, blah. She needs, she needs, she needs."
"Okay," my husband responded, wisely keeping quiet.
And so it continued. Each visit was a mixture of joy and incessant frustration. My mother didn't like the way I kept home, she didn't approve of my husband's choice of profession, and she thought that my children should receive their education elsewhere. She slathered hurt upon hurt that slid into my open heart like a burning salve. And I erupted in return, spewing my own molten lava that streamed down the insidious cliff of our relationship.
"I can't take it anymore," I cried to my husband. "I don't have to take it anymore. I don't want to visit her anymore."
"That's one choice you have," my husband sagely offered.
"One choice? It's the only choice. This is emotional suicide. What's the other choice?"
My husband looked at me. "Change."
"I know," I said. "We should both change. We should compromise. We should learn to accept each others differences."
"Nope," my husband said. "You change. Only you."
I looked at my husband, certain at that point that men were cretins from another galaxy. "Why should I be the one to change? She's the one who finds fault with everything I do."
"You can't depend on her changing, but you can depend on yourself."
I was skeptical. My university education and my master's degree in psychology had taught me that it takes two to tango. Change can only be implemented in a relationship when both parties are willing and able. If I enabled myself into a willing partner, then who would I partner with?
Apparently the Jewish view was different. Judaism posited that I was responsible for my part and held full culpability for modeling positive behavior within the relationship. Every person who is brought into your life is specifically tailored for you. Sometimes that person is there to help you grow in ways you never knew possible.
Honoring your parents is one of the cardinal tenets of our religion. Even the ornery parents. Even the ones who make mistakes.
Besides the fact that I disliked the acrimony, honoring your parents is one of the cardinal tenets of our religion. Even the ornery parents. Even the ones who make mistakes. By giving me life I was bound to my mother with an eternal and indispensable debt of gratitude.
Since I was fortunate enough to be blessed with a loving and selfless mother with many sterling qualities, could we possibly learn to iron out the kinks between us through the toil of only my own heart?
It couldn't hurt to try.
"Just keep a low profile," my husband said. "When she's negative, change the subject. If she's right, think about how you can change to smooth things over."
It was a Herculean effort, mired in disappointment. I felt like I was going up the down escalator. I would swallow three fiery comments and then detonate when it came to the fourth one.
I had to get serious. I valued this relationship too much for it to go up in smoke. If she wouldn't meet me halfway, then I had to go the whole nine yards on my own. I put a mental clamp on my tongue and started over.
It started to work. When my mother wasn't meeting my emotional needs I looked towards other valued relationships in my life to fill them. I realized I had been pigeonholing her into a space she didn't fit into. When my mother said hurtful things, I changed the subject or firmly let it be known that this topic was off limits. When she criticized, if the comment was extraneous, I set it free. If it was helpful, I tried to make the necessary changes. I became more considerate of the things that mattered to her in her home; order, cleanliness and sleep, even when those things were lower on my own priority list. I did an about face, and it was astounding what my new view provided.
Things improved dramatically and quickly. My mother's visits, once so bittersweet, became enjoyable. I learned to focus on the things we shared, and I filled the empty spaces in between with other people and other interests. Slowly, the barbs became less frequent and the work all that much easier. The relationship had evolved to a point of mutual understanding, only the effort expended had been one-sided.
In the last ten years my mother and I have had only one noteworthy argument over the span of much shared time together. I can scarcely remember what things resembled before my resolution. I used to think it takes two to tango, but now I know that one can accomplish an exquisite dance performing solo.

Roseville College
While being dragged around the Hunter Valley by my parents I became fascinated by the evocative language winemakers use to describe wines. I was further amused when I joined an online wine forum under the username 'wine swine'.
My artwork uses irony and humour to reveal different aspects of wine culture. The installation is very much inspired by Robert McPherson's use of installation to comment on aspects of language and culture. My exploration of wine jargon shows that you don't have to be an expert to sound like a critic.
The play of language is an integral element of these artworks by Maya Sebestyen and Robert McPherson. Compare how each artist has explored the language of art and the art of language. Consider the role of the audience when interpreting these artworks. In what way does the dialogue change in relation to the individual viewer?

Main Article: Vladimir Dracula
Vladimir Dracula has been granted an immense amount of power since he turned into a vampire and through the series he's learnt to control them: they have also gotten better and stronger through training with the Count and Bertrand de Fortunessa.
Super Strength
Main Article: Super Strength
Vlad, since Series 4, has displayed very small snippets of his super strength such as when he was punching Bertrand's hands.
- Series 3: ,Vlad was finally growing mature as a vampire and his powers were increasing (though weren't honed). When he finally started training with Betrand he gave a punch so powerful there was a shockwave after Bertrand received it: also when Sethius had Count Dracula in the air Vlad grabbed his arm forcing him down (but with a struggle). He also pushed his dad into a wall, but it is unknown if it is super strength or telekinesis.
- Series 4: He shows it briefly by pushing malik into a chair with just one hand and when he had to fight Malik he showed his strength when he threw them both down through the floor.
Super Speed
Main Article: Super Speed
Vlad can use his super speed to travel long and short distances really quickly.
- Series 3: Vladimir has used this ability in nearly every long distance walk and it's shown that he has gotten fast to the point that all you see is a blur.
- Series 4: Vlad has gotten somewhat faster than before but couldn't escape from Elisabetta.
Super Sense
Main Article: Super Sense
Now Vlad can sense things that occur around him.
- Series 3: Vlad could sense that Johnno was behind him even though he had his back turned.
- Series 4: Since season 3 Vlad's senses have likely grown but, despite this, he was unable to detect Elisabetta when she was in the same room as him on several occasions.
Super Smell
Main Article: Super Smell
Vlad has an advanced sense of smell.
- Series 3: Vlad could smell that Erin had blood in her bag.
- Series 4: Vlad could smell the blood stain on Erin's shirt.
Super Hearing
Main Article: Super Hearing He can hear people from a distance
- Series 3: Vlad heard Erin Noble crying in her room, moreover he heard her again when she was talking outside and he was in his room.
- Series 4: Now he can hear from a greater distance and it is more clear.
Main Article: Visions Vlad can see visions of people he cares about
- Series 3: Vlad saw a vision of Ingrid running from the slayers, also he saw a vision of Erin when she was kidnapped.
- Series 4: Vlad saw where Ryan Noble went just from touching the same wall Ryan had just touched and later saw a vision of Miss McCauley when she was in danger
Main Article: Hypnotism
Vlad can hypnotism people and vampires to what he comands.
- Series 3: Vlad can easily put people under his control and easily take them out of a trance such as when he took Renfield out of a serious mind wipe, all he did was tell him to remember and clicked his fingers
- Series 4: This power has improved as he was able to place a mindwipe on almost every slayer in the world. However, he can't do this to people he cares about.
Main Article: Telepathy
He can send mind messages and and read peoples thoughts.
- Series 3: This ability was trained however, even though when he put his mind to it the mind message was clear, he struggled a lot.
