A recent VW commercial for the Passat spotlights the stereo system by first showing people singing the wrong lyrics to the chorus of Elton John's "Rocket Man," then having the driver of the Passat be able to sing the accurate line due to clarity of the sound system in the car:And although it doesn't inspire me to actually purchase said vehicle, I must admit I don't always fast-forward through it, because it did strike a chord (so to speak) with me; I, too, was for quite some time mis-hearing that line.
My particular take on the oft mistaken one: "Burning down the streets of heaven, now." (Hey, it seemed to make sense at the time. And at least had the first word correct.) And even after I figured out the correct line ("Burning out his fuse up here alone"), I still tended to hear my interpretation when the song played.
So, kudos to the ad agency behind this (and perhaps their junior Darth Vader ad from the Super Bowl). You got me to actually watch your ad and not only not hate it but think it somewhat clever. In this day, that's as effective as I expect TV commercials to be.
By contrast, a commercial where the music just bugs me: the Lexus "December to Remember" campaign, featuring spots where people somehow get the Lexus jingle into unexpected places, such as in a "Guitar Hero" song:
Why does it bother me so? Perhaps because if you bought your wife a freakin' new Lexus for Christmas, would you really ruin the surprise by going to some elaborate scheme to fit their damned music into a video game? Wouldn't you just have her close her eyes and walk her out to the driveway?
And this is off the subject of music, specifically, but in each of these ads where it's snowing outside--notice the ground covered in it, and the fact that you see snowflakes falling both while the family is in the house and when they come out--and the car doesn't have a single snowflake on it! Perhaps they just drove it out, you say? Then there'd be some damned tracks in the snow. Also, the whole family was inside, playing the game, so it had to have been outside for a while... and should have a layer of snow on it.
I'm also perhaps bothered because I recognize the wife is two-timing Overstock.com--specifically their O.co ads.
Apparently even after decades of TV viewing it hasn't deteriorated my brain to the point where I cannot pay attention to such details. I guess I spent a little to much time away from TV, doing something silly, like listening to Elton John. (Obviously that's somewhere, for many years, I wasn't paying close enough attention. It was awesome.)

The other night my subconscious did NCIS in the Jossverse.
The whole crew was there. DiNozzo, Mal, Ziva, flesh-eating monsters, a pool table. Of course, I was Buffy. And when the green scaly dude with the crooked fingernail-teeth tried to eat me, I bit his teeth off. It's what Buffy would've done, right?
You know, that doesn't sound nearly as cool as it was in my dream. Probably a good thing the alarm clock interrupted this one. But doesn't it make you wonder what Buffy would do to DiNozzo? If there would be chemistry between Ziva and Mal? What an episode of FCIS (Firefly Criminal Investigative Service) would look like? Joss should totally do CSI:Miranda. Except then my brain might overload.

October: We did the cowboy dinner again this year at Minico High School and had a great turn out. My parents came up to help and brought Karson and Kambree. Ratha managed the kitchen and helped clean up after. He is very excited to do it again next year.
November: We got to spend Thanksgiving in Logan with the Leuk Family. It was lots of fun and the food was delicious. We played games that night and got up early the next morning to hit the good deals. December: We set up our Christmas decorations and got ready for lots of Christmas fun. We got to spend time with both our families but forgot the camera so unfortunately we do not have any pictures of our first christmas married :( . Just pictures of the decorating.

CELTIC star Mubarak Wakaso enjoyed his international break as he scored one of the goals of the week for Ghana against Togo.
The winger set up the opening goal in the African Cup of Nations Qualifier before taking his chance in the 27th minute of the match.
Wakaso was a full 40 yards out when he turned on the ball, looked up and unleashed an unstoppable drive, which you can watch in the video above.
The Black Stars went on to win 3-1 and book their place at Afcon 2015.
It wasn't a bad way to catch the eye of Ghana boss in waiting, Avram Grant. The former Chelsea manager has been offered the post - despite fears that, as an Israeli citizen, he could be denied entry to several African nations.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group said that the number of phishing reports it received came close to doubling in the seven months from December 2005 to June 2006, after remaining nearly stable from June 2005 through that December. In fact, the rise in reports between May and June was the largest ever recorded; more than eight thousand more attacks occurred in June than in May. The unique phishing reports (not multiple people submitting the same email) totaled 28,571. The one bit of cold comfort from this report is that the APWG believes most of this increase is due to its addition of new feed sources, which increased its sample size.
The number of unique phishing sites is no cause for complacency, however. They also came close to doubling over the course of a year, going from 4,280 in June 2005 to 9,255 in June 2006. It should come as no surprise that most phishers use port 80, which is also used for HTTP. It should also come as no surprise that more than 90 percent of all phishing attacks pretend to be from financial services industries such as banks and credit card companies.
Phishing sites are hosted by many companies, but this is still one area -- unfortunately -- where the United States leads the world. More than 35 percent of all phishing websites are hosted in the U.S., followed by China with 15 percent and the Republic of Korea with just over 10 percent. Sites do get pulled down, but probably not fast enough: on average, a phishing site is online for almost five days. The longest time the APWG knows of a phishing site staying online is 31 days. Even after a phishing site is pulled down by its ISP, it's worth noting that many phishers can simply go to another web host and quickly be back in business.

In a move that will have flight passengers competing for more than the middle armrest, certain airlines have begun to offer customers the opportunity to bid on upgrades to empty seats thanks to a new partnership between Amadeus and Plusgrade.
In the days leading up a flight, Plusgrade's customized system allows flyers who've already purchased tickets to engage in a digital auction for upgrades, amenities and even "neighbor-free" seats. The platform displays a gauge to drive prices up and let bidders know how close they are to getting the digital gavel to drop, with winners notified 24-72 hours before takeoff.
Here's the system Plusgrade designed for Air New Zealand in action:
"Everyone wants to skate toward value-added ancillary revenue," said says Plusgrade CEO Ken Harris. "We can deliver experiences to passengers that they're excited about that also benefit the airlines too."
The service is mainly offered on international carriers for now, but expect to see it expand to an airport near you if it gains traction.

A society in Infamy and Spiritual Stigmata lacks Wisdom, profession of Faith, and Communal well-being, but there's Rising Hope. An article about "'Doing Good' in today's Wall Street Journal gaveled Government-Aid in favor of 'Social Enterprise' as a way to aid marginalized people."[1] Speaking for Jesus and a Hallowed Spirit one might echo; Salvation is at hand.
Lord knows how to negotiate Shame, Seclusion and Sinfulness through Sober Vocations; He came to Earth to restore Faith and Heal wounded souls. Living upright in an Immoral Society is dreadful; so God is negotiating an Out for both the Affluent and Unfortunate; help one another or must Bust!
"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished. Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." (Luke 12:49-53 NABRE)
Heightened spirits are roaming the earth looking to make Peace and restore Faith. Making amends is not always easy, but doing right by your neighbor is Rewarding. Can you convey Hope, Truth, and Selflessness to a weary soul? Then come be a partner in Faith, Jesus controls Good Things to come.

I am a food lover, I really can't help it much. So depending on the season, I prepare and cook different dishes to please my appetite.
Are you the same too? In summer, as soon as the heat starts to hit this city, tomatoes are ripe and ready to be picked. Delicious when eaten as they are, but even better seasoned – I make my own bruschetta. It is indeed a simple dish to prepare. But first of all, how is it pronounced? Brus-ketta or Brushetta? Do we need garlic or onion? Basil or parsley?Toasted or fresh bread?
The ingredients I use are the best you can get.
Home grown tomatoes seasoned with olive oil bought from a mill and sea salt, basil picked from the garden served on fresh bread baked in wooden oven — this is what I serve to my guests! It is one of the most popular dishes that they help me prepare.
Although the procedure is quite simple, the result is tasty and mouthwatering.
What really matters is not how many ingredients are used, but the quality which boosts the flavour up! Why don't you join me?
Buon appetito!

Sorry I have been out of the blogosphere (shady word) for a while, but i got knocked down by a car.
So I am returning from a late night sojourn at a friend's place at around 11:30pm on Sunday night. Sundays are normally quiet but this is a particularly a serene evening. I am on a motorbike, here called Boda Boda whizzing through town. As I approach the last turn before I get into my neighbourhood, right at the Wandegeya roundabout- famous for having no roundabout or functional streetlights the rider tries to turn into the opposite lane. Suddenly there were lights bearing down on us with ferocious speed. I had an instant to say: "Hey dude look out for the car!!" before we were smashed and thrown into the road on which I was strewn in utter bamboozle(ment).
In the instant that all this is happening I feel the car tires screech to a halt and the bike go under the taxi (read matatu) and the crunch of rubber against steel as the bike is chewed up by the vehicle screeching to a halt. I honestly cannot say how I got there but I was standing away from the accident a few seconds after it happened.
And just as the vultures (read lumpens/hoodlums/vandals/scum-sucking imbeciles all rolled in to one) set in to scavenge the accident and anything it might have brought in (some blasted idiot left with my school note book!!- can you believe!) I was hit a wave of nausea. These guys were the kind that would knock you out at an accident scene just to be sure that they robbed a dead guy, you know.
I was feeling numb so I immediately call the venue of my last sojourn and inform them of my detour in travel plans. I promptly inform them of the feeling that I think I might be dead and as such could they arrange to see me just to be sure that I am alive.
I am now alive and fully well thanks to the powers that be and my O-ve blood.(its just super!!)
Which reminds me of a thought I was just pondering; how poor jewel dealers in Uganda are…
I mean like gold jewellers. Uganda must be the only country in the world where jewellers are poor. This thought was provoked by a shady calendar I saw in an office somewhere that had really plain pages and a picture of an Indian woman on it. So I am asking myself how does an Indian jeweler market jewellery made in China adorned on an indian woman designed on a paper printed at the cheapest place on Nasser road(a place where I hear you can anything made; even the ancient sea scrolls- if you can pay) to a Ugandan who pays with money printed in Europe without giving the impression that the Ugandan is inferior?
While everywhere across the world jewellers go on holidays and are always travelling to attend conventions or just to plain re-stock their stores in Uganda they just sit and sit and when they are tired they sit some more because the Ugandan has the art of jewellery almost down to a tee.
They have "Gold" for special occassions and then they have 'gold' for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…. The idea is that the you cant know which the real gold is. Is it the one that can stand the wear and tear of the mad house called Kampala and the fake for the special occassions because it shines so much? Or is it the other way around because the fake can fade and no one will know?hhhhmm….. My thoughts took this turn for a while and I was pretty convinced I was right.
I muse over this and in this state I asked a woman of considerable repute to enlighten me on matters in this regard and this was her response:
"You buy two pieces of fake gold and wear one more often than the other, that way you are always shining!" This Ingenious woman of kampala added, "That way we can all avoid wearing real gold. Its much cheaper"
Together, For the World…And Beyond

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Autry Denson had a career day--minus a few mistakes.
While running for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown Saturday in 16th-ranked Notre Dame's 27-3 victory over Baylor, Denson also had a pass intercepted and lost a fumble, tarnishing an otherwise brilliant performance.
With runs of 37, 32 and 24 yards, Denson improved his previous high of 162 yards before the first half was over, and his performance moved him within 174 yards of becoming the all-time leading rusher in Notre Dame history.
His mistakes also set up Baylor's only points and killed an early scoring chance for the Irish (6-1).
For Baylor Coach Dave Roberts, whose team fell to 2-6, it was bittersweet watching the Irish churn out 462 yards, including 329 on the ground, its best rushing performance in two years.

Kyle Richards is taking to her Bravo Blog to discuss necklace-gate and her friendship with Lisa Vanderpump. Kyle explains why she wanted to address underlying issues with Lisa when they met at her store to go shopping, and admits she cares enough about Lisa to move forward with their friendship.
Kyle writes, "This week I visited Joyce and filled her in on Mauricio and Ken's birthday dinner and shared with her the strange happenings with my computer. I have no clue why my computer did that. I do know that I don't believe in "witchcraft" or "putting spells" on people. I just know that it was odd, and, in light of Joyce's recent experience with Michael getting sick, I shared it. Do I believe that Carlton did that? No. I did think it was strange and one of those things you just can't explain.
I was really looking forward to Puerto Rico. We decided not to invite Carlton, for obvious reasons. If I'm planning a trip with Joyce, I would not invite someone that I'm not only not friends with, but someone I have had so many issues with. That would only be asking for trouble.
Gigi's party: I love how Yolanda and Mohammed get along so well. That is the only way to co-parent — putting your children's well being first and foremost.
Gigi's party was beautiful. We always have fun at Mohammed's house. I honestly could not control my tears at Gigi's and Yolanda's beautiful speeches. Between Kimberly and Gigi going off to college and knowing Alexia will be leaving this August, it was just too close to home.
You could cut the tension between Lisa and Brandi with a knife — not to mention the awkwardness between Carlton and I. After I gave the necklace to Carlton, I found the crown that goes to the necklace in my closet. I certainly wasn't going to throw away a piece of jewelry, and it made no sense to keep it.
I didn't feel comfortable walking up to Carlton, since she clearly doesn't like me and I didn't want to risk it turning into a fight. Honestly, it probably was part peace offering and part just what it was. . .the other half of the necklace. Everyday I would look at it and be reminded that it was the other half of the necklace that I gave Carlton. I would rather her have it than throw it away — and it actually looks really cool together. The fact that Carlton viewed my having Brandi hand her this gift as doing my "dirty work" is exactly why I didn't feel comfortable handing it to her myself. She so desperately wants to hate me that she even views a gift as an attack.
The controversy over the necklace was ridiculous. There was so much "she said, she said" that I will let you come to your own opinion on that as I am still a bit confused myself. I do know that after Carlton had Brandi give it back to me that it was then given to Brandi, who then didn't want it, then to Yolanda, and then to Joyce later and then it went missing altogether. All this over a piece of jewelry!
Joyce had told me that her father was ill and that she was going to visit him. She asked me not to tell the other women. When he actually did pass away, I didn't think that she would have still wanted to keep that private — especially since we were all going to Puerto Rico and it was certainly bound to come up. I know when my parents passed away I wanted all the support I could get. I thought by letting them know they could reach out to her and hopefully offer support.
Lisa and I met at my store to look for clothes for Puerto Rico. As we started to speak, I realized I really needed to get some things off my chest. When I told Lisa that I wanted to move past our issues once and for all, I meant it. Lisa kept saying "Oh, we're past that. It's done." But clearly there were still some underlying issues.
When I brought up the "accusations," I wasn't JUST referring to her bringing up the tabloids — but also the accusations about Mauricio only befriending people for business. That had NEVER been discussed since Lisa said that at the Reunion last year. Not once. In order to start fresh, I wanted to address that so I could personally move past it.
I care enough about Lisa to move forward but needed to be heard. Last week Lisa questioned why I didn't defend her. . .Maybe because I had never had this conversation and was still hurt and upset by these situations that were swept under the carpet. I wanted to have this conversation so we could get back to where we once were. Lisa said that she was the most loyal friend I ever had. I kept quiet as I felt like we were making progress and wanted to stay on the right track. However, my most loyal friends and I haven't had to have this type of conversation.
At this point, Lisa and I have both felt hurt by one another and it is time to move on from that."

This highly acclaimed book is the first in a new list of books on writing craft from Finch Publishing, designed to complement our search for the best in Australian life writing through the Finch Memoir Prize.
In Writing Without a Parachute: The Art of Freefall, respected writing teacher Barbara Turner-Vesselago shows both beginning and experienced writers how to get the thinking mind to step aside, so that writing becomes a truly vulnerable and open-hearted engagement with the moment.
Here for the first time, Barbara Turner-Vesselago shares in print the method by which she has helped hundreds of writers to publish fiction, memoir, non-fiction and poetry worldwide. By means of five simple precepts, she leads the writer step by step into developing real trust in writing through the art of Freefall.
Ultimately, the book helps you connect with your deepest intention in writing, and to write with authority and grace. With its fourteen sequential chapters and accompanying writing suggestions, it can be used for inspiration, as a reference tool, or as a sustained, twelve-month course in writing.
Asked in an interview why she teaches Freefall, Barbara responded, 'I teach this way of writing because it works. And it's the only way I've ever come across that really does. Freefall is a method some writers discover spontaneously, but many have to (re)learn: the technique of writing from the larger Self, beyond reach of the ego and its censors.'
As the name suggests, Freefall invokes the courage to fall without a parachute, into the words as they come, into the thoughts before they have fully formed in the mind, into the unplanned structures that take shape, without prompting, to contain them.

text: Historic Preservation Commission Page Content The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission was established by City Council in 2008 as an advisory body on issues related to the preservation of historic buildings, structures and sites located in the City of Virginia Beach. Members of the Council-appointed Commission work to preserve, protect and maintain the historic identity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County. They pursue this through a program of advocacy, public awareness and increased public involvement. The Historic Preservation Commission is made up of between 9 and 15 citizens who have a passion for the preservation of Virginia Beach's historic buildings and sites. Many of the members bring with them expertise in the fields of architecture, archaeology and history. Many of the members own historic buildings and their hands on experience with preservation is an invaluable tool for the Commission. The Commission also has two appointed student members from local high schools. The Historic Preservation Commission is supported by the Department of Planning. The Commission meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 5:00 p.m. at the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, 2101 Parks Avenue, Suite 500. The Commission typically holds an annual public meeting to discuss the state of historic preservation in Virginia Beach and to collect ideas and concerns from the citizens. Annual Public Meeting The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission seeks to engage the citizens of Virginia Beach in the City's historic preservation program. The Commission recognizes that public voices are the best advocates for preserving the community's historical identity. Since 2009, the Historic Preservation Commission has hosted an annual Public Meeting to gather public input on preservation concerns and needs that may range from individual properties to city-wide impacts. These meetings provide an opportunity for the public to learn more about the Commission's initiatives and to receive up-to-date information on the progress being made in strategic planning areas. Most importantly, these meetings also give citizens a voice in determining the direction for the local historic preservation program. The Commission's 2018 Priorities and Goals reflect the input that has been received from the public. The 2018 Public Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 18 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library located at 4100 Virginia Beach Boulevard. All citizens interested in preserving Virginia Beach's historic resources and its historical identity are invited to attend. Learn more about the meeting details from the press release and meeting program. For additional information about the 2018 Public Meeting, contact Mark Reed, Historic Preservation Planner, 757-385-8573. The Commission looks forward to seeing you on April 18. Research Grant Program The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission established a Research Grant Program in 2016 to encourage scholarship about persons, places and events significant to the history of the City of Virginia Beach, Princess Anne County and the related earlier historic and prehistoric eras in this area of southeastern Virginia. The grant program supports research on local history that provides a final report or other stated product, such as a historic marker or interpretive sign. The Research Grant Program has successfully helped to fund several state historical highway markers, curriculum development in the local public school system and important new research about the diverse history of our community. In 2016 the Commission approved six grants totaling $10,000; four grants in 2017 totaling $8,460; and, 9 grants in 2018 totaling $13,000. Read more information on many of the completed research projects. Read about the 2018 grant awards click here Acceptance of applications for the 2019 grant cycle will be announced in 2019. The Historic Preservation Commission encourages the pursuit of research projects that increase our knowledge of Virginia Beach and that help to raise awareness about the rich and diverse history and historic resources.

Our mold inspectors have the ability to perform tests (e.g. air testing, bulk testing) essential for verifying the presence of the fungus, and concluding whether it poses as a threat to you and your house mates or not.

Hi ladies
Please be kind to me in regards to this topic. I am just wanting some advice and stories regarding your own experience with inductions and/or elective c-sections.
My daughter was born sleeping at 28 weeks 6 months ago and we are now expecting our rainbow baby.
I am yet to have any discussions with OB regarding delivering our rainbow baby as it is a bit too early at the moment.
My OB has told me that, he wont allow me to go over my due date, which will more than likely mean i will be induced if bub doesn't arrive early.
I had a very positive labour experience with my angel, however I am now terrified of labouring again and something going wrong in labour.
Obviously I will be talking to my OB about all of this in time, but I was just interested to hear of other people's experiences.
Also, i am completely aware that when the time comes, things may be out of my control and will be decided for me, eg if bub is breech or in distress etc.
I personally don't want a birth plan, as all i want is for my rainbow to be here safely, and i don't care what means that is achieved by. However i do like to feel as prepared as i can especially if a c-section is on the cards.
- Do inductions generally end up in other interventions such as C-sections
- As a public patient can you elect to have a c-section
Im sure i have other questions, but i cant seem to think of them atm.
Thanks everyone

@MrsMummaButterfly congratulations on your rainbow baby. I can't offer you personal experiences, but I can try and give you professional experiences.
The fact you have laboured before is a good thing. It means your body knows what to do. Even though you laboured at 28wks, you still laboured.
Inductions don't 'generally' end in a c-section. Obviously they can, but it's not the norm. An induction can certainly set off a cascade of intervention though. For example, an early epidural may mean that you're labouring on the syntocinon for longer meaning your uterus is being pushed harder and possibly increasing the chances of distress to the baby or even a post partum haemorrhage. Similarly if you have an epidural and the block is dense, you may end up with dead legs to the point that when it comes time to push, you struggle meaning it might be necessary for a vacuum or forceps delivery. Best tip is simply to stay active as long as you're able, remaining active and upright will help your labour much more than being flat on your back will. By all means when you get to the point of needing pain relief, have an epidural if that's what you want, but even being active for an hour or so will make a difference to your labour.
Obviously there are things that may add to the mix that can increase your chances of a c/s such as an undiagnosed breech found in labour. Most of the time Drs will recommend a c/s at this time. Meconium liquor may increase bubs risk of distress but is not a reason on its own for a c/s.
Method of induction vs gestation. Discuss with your doctors what methods of induction is their preference. For example we use the balloon catheters as standard. Had about a 99% success rate of us being able to break your waters after the 12hrs of the balloon. Prostin gel may require multiple doses and occasionally may just not work at all (not that common). Most women only require 1-2 doses. One of our obs did a study that basically showed almost 100% of women who required a 3rd dose of prostin gel ended up with a c/s. Not exactly 100% but he described the 'success rate' as negligible.
As a public patient you can certainly ask for a c/s, but whether they agree is another thing. They will look at your reasons for wanting a c/s and your previous birth. To be honest though, if you had a great labour last time, I imagine they will try and push for a vaginal birth just because it's better for you and bubs in that the recovery is generally easier. If they do agree to a c/s then if you're wanting more control over the situation, it should help you with that. Be mindful that you can still go into labour or break your waters before your c/s date, so you may still end up with an 'emergency' c/s if that is what you're trying to avoid. The recommendation for a c/s these days is in the 39th week also.

Thank you so so much for your very detailed and thorough response.
Thank you for giving me a medical point of view and making me realise that I need to believe in my body more.
I know it changes from hospital to hospital and all depends on personal circumstances, but at what gestation are inductions normally offered?
How early are things like stretch & sweeps offered to start things along before the catheter and syntocinon is offered?
Hope you and bub are going well too hun xx

Hi hun, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and congratulations on your rainbow baby.
I can't offer personal experience regarding stillbirth, however can just give some info on what I've had with my hospital.
2 of my aunties have had stillborns at full term, which naturally made me extremely anxious. At my first appointment, I basically just said there is no way I'll be going overdue. The midwife I saw didn't really take me seriously, I requested to see a different midwife st my next appointment and put my foot down and said I was serious about it, my midwife said we would discuss it as we got closer. I ended up getting put through to the obstetrician team at the hospital to be monitored closely anyway because of aunties history.
I'm now 31 weeks and last week at my 30 week appointment, I told them that I need to know what's happening in regards to induction as I'm starting to get close and have extreme anxiety about it.
My obstetrician said straight out that I would be induced at 39 weeks on the dot, as my mental health is more important in this case.
However, we will be trying to avoid induction so will be trying to encourage Bub to come from 36.5 weeks.

Thank you so much for sharing hun. And congrats on your pregnancy too hun.
Im so glad to hear that your OB has listened to you and will be inducing you early. Has he told you about the process at all?
What sorts of things are you doing to coax bub out before your induction date?
I would love to hear of your experience in 8 weeks time if thats ok?
04-10-2016 20:14 #10
Not sure how it all happens to be honest, think the method of induction depends on how your body is prepared on the day. I'll have to ask st my next appointment.
Provided I'm dilated at my 37 week appointment, I will get a stretch and sweep done, and they will do these every appointment. Other things my ob said to do is to take raspberry leaf capsules, evening primrose oil, bounce on the exercise ball, walk walk walk, sex, expressing colostrum and I'll be giving acupuncture and acupressure a go too!

It's arrival day!!
Crooked Timber's Eszter Hargittai points out that today is the 350th anniversary of Arrival Day, "the first Jewish immigrants' arrival in New Amsterdam (today's New York City) on September 7, 1654." She has a lovely post about going to a Jewish wedding, and closes with these words:
Having spent most of my life in this country, but a few years in Europe, I must reluctantly concur with Eszter [Reluctantly?--ed. Why should anyone be happy about anti-Semitism in Europe?].
For more on Arrival Day, check out the Head Heeb.posted by Dan on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM
I am a secular American. My son went to a Jewish pre-school and experienced a remarkable environment full of love and brightness. I, however, work with a number of Jewish guys, and the story could not be more different. These guys are completely nice and respectful toward me personally. What horrifies me about them is their virulent anti-Arabism and anti-Islamism. It is clear to me that they do not consider people of Arab or Islamic background to be fully human. Thus while we ever hear the drone about anti-semitism (not to mention the constant Xian evangelical drone about the unfortunate spread of secularism), who chronicles this growing mania of anti-Arabism/anti-Islamism? I find this especially poignant right now as, day after day, we read of the U.S. military having killed another 120 Iraqis here, 230 there, 74 in this city, 15 in that city...it is unending - and we know, we certainly know by now, that these are native Iraqis defending the honor of their own soil - as most of us would probably do under similar conditions.posted by: comenius on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
What is your point? Are you saying that the existence of anti-Islamic sentiment among some Jews invalidates the whole story? Or are you saying that it's good that anti-semitism exists in Europe? You seem to be extrapolating from your experience that "Jews" are anti-Muslim. I think that is extremely unfair. My guess is that the vast majority of Jews have gone out of their way to avoid anti-Muslim sentiment and to keep it out of Jewish institutions. At my daughter's Jewish day school and at home, she is taught not to harbor animosity toward people (including Muslims) because of their religion. My daughter plays regularly with the Muslim children next door. I would dare to say that that is far more typical of the Jewish community than the "guys" you work with. I would say, in fact, that you are much more likely to hear anti-Jewish sentiment at a mosque in the US, than you are likely to hear anti-Muslim sentiment at a synogogue. I'm glad your child had a good experience at the Jewish pre-school. Now I think you owe the Jewish community wherever you live an apology for your comments. Or do you think it's appropriate to tar an entire community because of the attitudes of some?
As for anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S., it is obviously terrible. I do not condone it in the slightest. But to call it a "mania" seems to me an exaggeration, especially given the virulent hatred expressed for Americans and Jews in large parts of the Muslim world, including the United States. (Not to mention, of course, 9/11, which is obviously the genesis, however ill-conceived, of the war.)posted by: MWS on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
If the US is the least "anti semitic" country in the world, how come it hasnt had either a Jewish premier or even a jew running for premier? Australia and the UK have had both (but the UK has, I think, never had a catholic pm)posted by: Giles on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
I would argue that the reason that there haven't been very many Jewish presidents is that there haven't been very many Jewish state governors. That's just my guess.posted by: Klug on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
Well because the US has never had a premier. We have a president.
Seriously, no Jew has never been president because no Jew has been a major party candidate for president. And to be a major party candidate one has to be able to gain popular support across the country. The Jewish population of the US isn't that high percentage wise and is concentrated in the northeastern US, so as a constituency they don't have enough mass to pull in votes and are thus less likely to get nominated. In a parliamentary system where there is no direct election of the executive what matters more is the party and ones standing amongst elected MPs of the party. It's probably easier for a minority to gain standing amongst a smaller group of peers than the population as a whole.posted by: ZZ on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]

Point well taken. I wish to limit my reference of "mania" to just that immediate circle of people I am exposed to, work with. But, among them, it is most certainly a mania.posted by: comenius on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
Thus while we ever hear the drone about anti-semitism (not to mention the constant Xian evangelical drone about the unfortunate spread of secularism), who chronicles this growing mania of anti-Arabism/anti-Islamism?
When Zionists start driving airplanes into our skyscrapers and killing thousands of our citizens, perhaps I will feel about Zionists the way I feel about Islamists.
When Mormons do the same, I may become wary of Mormons.
When members of Women's Christian Temperance Union blow up our embassies and bomb our ships in harbor, I will begin to develop some ill-feeling towards them.
I think there was very little "anti-Arabism/anti-Islamism" in the US before 9/11. Those feelings are the product of historical events. I grew up in the 1950's. At that time, there were still strong negative feelings in the US towards Japanese and Germans, for obvious reasons. Those feelings have dissipated over the years, as Japan and Germany have behaved responsibly in the world. Negative feelings towards Arabs and Moslems will dissipate, too, when terrorism ceases and Arab/Moslem countries develop democratic governments that respect human rights.
Even now, the number of hate crimes against Jews in the US is greater than those against Arabs, and both are about 2% of the US population.posted by: Slithy Tove on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
As a Jewish-American I would like to say... above the bickering... that America is a great place where discourse and debate can occur. The debate over whether it occurs is another issue. I have been in America, and in Israel and I love both countries. This is a great country and worth fighting for. Hurray for discourse and defiant debate thus blogs and my website ctx3.com (not an ad). There are not many countries where I can be a Jew, disagree with the admin and have a website.posted by: Craig Press on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
Like our host I must reluctantly agree that there is still anti-semitism in Europe, but I came across it while I lived in the states too (I don't feel competent to comment on the relevant prevalence, but some of what I encountered in the US was pretty virulent).
I feel that in Europe the problem today is a lack of philo-semitism. In recent years as the post-war sympathy for Israel has died away this has become more important - and left more Europeans open to accusations of anti-semitism which are often unfair.
The US by contrast is strongly philo-semitic especially in the crucial regions of California and the NE United States. So, for example film and literature in the States will deal with Jewish experiences. By and large this has not been the case in Europe (clearly there are many individual exceptions).
Europe however ought to be philo-semitic. The Jewish experience is crucial to the development of modern Europe, and by that I mean the broadly liberal, social democratic inclined liberal democracies which now make up Europe. But by creating and accepting a European identity which now essentially excludes its jewish component Europeans can be seen as, and in fact are, accepting the outcome of Hitler's genocide.
How far this is inevitable and how far today's Europeans could and should reject this 'fact' and consciously emphasise the centrality of jewishness in the history which formed them is unclear, but the current construct certainly does not go far enough in my mind.
This I think is why the Anti-Semitism encountered in Europe is so much more disturbing than that in the US, because it is happy with the inheritance of the 20th century of a "Judenrein Europa" (even if it itself is not murderous)
(An aside, living in Basel,Switzerland, which has a not insignificant Jewish population, I felt it was where the place of the "Jewish Experience" was most similar to that in the US, by contrast Frankfurt, to me, had a feeling of a city with a huge hole at its centre.)posted by: Tadhgin on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
It seems to me that people set unrealistic standards for whether a country is anti-semitic or racist or whatever. There is always going to be some racism, anti-semitism, bigotry, whatever as long as human nature exists. It's all relative. There is much less anti-semitism in the US today than, say 50 years ago, but it still exists. Same with Europe. I agree with Tadhgin; what seems to be the problem with Europe is that the population, especially the left, seems to have lost sympathy with Jews generally as they have become more "normalized" in society. It has also become more tolerant of anti-semitic actions by Muslims because of animosity toward Israel. Perhaps I'm wrong but I get the sense that one source of European animosity toward the US is the strong Jewish cultural presence here.
As far as a lack of Jewish presidents, et al, I think that's largely because relatively few Jews have entered politics. Up until the last 20 or 30 years, it would have been unrealistic for Jews to become national candidates.
IMO, one reason you have seen Jewish and female prime ministers in other countries is the parliamentary system, which places more weight on the ability to work within the party than on specific personalities or direct appeal to voters. In the US system, a candidate has to develop a very broad base of support (and raise a lot of money) and, given the conservatism in much of the country, this was impossible for Jews or women. I think this is changing, in part because Jews are more acceptable now to religious conservatives.posted by: MWS on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]
MWS wrote "Perhaps I'm wrong but I get the sense that one source of European animosity toward the US is the strong Jewish cultural presence here."
But the thing is that the parts of the US where leftish Europeans actually feel at home is where the Jewish influence is strongest. I don't think that people have so much lost sympathy with Jews, rather that jewishness is not a factor in their everyday lives as it once was (the result of the Nazi period). I don't agree that much anti-americanism is some kind of "undercover" anti-jewish feeling. As I was saying what is missing in Europe is philo-semitism and an ongoing engagement with the importance of jewishness in Europe.
The loss of sympathy for Israel is not usually anti-semitic in origin (and this is the hardest thing to convince most Israelis or Americans about) I would compare it with feelings towards South Africa during apartheid (and I am not trying to give offense, just searching for understandable comparisons for peoples attitudes) and the feelings of many Europeans that the Israeli state is oppressive are genuine - irrespective of their validity. But today white South Africans today are not considered outside the pale - and in the end are a group who Europeans have much in common with. A soloution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would, in my opinion, allow Europeans to develop relations between Europe and Israel very close relations with Isreal essentially being a 'European' country in the region even if not belonging to European structures (think Eurovision).
Regarding a toleration of anti-semitism in the muslim population (which really should be understood distinctly from European anti-semitism) the truth is that Europeans are very unsure about how to approach these populations on any level. As long as these people are excluded from much of Society many people don't feel that their anti-semitism is that relevant - the right, because they are outsiders who have nothing to do with Europe the left because they are oppressed and this would all fade away if they were integrated fully into society.
Neither view is tenable and the issue of significant muslim minorities will be one of the biggest in Europe over the next 20 years (especially given the need for increased immigration). Ironically an appreciation of the importance of the European jewish heritage would go a long way towards solving it - just as liberal East coast jewish thinking was vital to begining to deal with US rascism.posted by: Tadhgin on 09.07.04 at 02:17 PM [permalink]

First of all, thank you to everyone who wished me a 'Happy Birthday' this weekend!!! We had a very full weekend and now I am very excited to just get thinks back in order (read: I am a control freak). Being loved is a beautiful thing!
Things feel so different this Fall, as so many people we know are having babies, or are planning for more! This is a contrast to the past couple of years that were filled with engagements and weddings. It has been truly amazing to see people 'grow up' and become fabulous parents!
In celebration of "the year of the baby", I have compiled some stunning modern nurseries. I am especially in love the use of gray, as it can grow with the kids and is generally 'gender neutral'.I know gray is pretty trendy right now, but I still believe it will hold up for quite a while. At least I hope it does, since about 50% of our home is currently covered in grays :)
Although these are nurseries, I would live in any of these rooms. Well, I would probably bring in a big girl bed.
Lucky babies…
The Gray Modern Nursery:
On that note, Mrs.. Mo is getting so close!! I cannot wait to meet my niece! C'mon HLM, we are
patiently anxiously waiting!!!
P.S. Does anyone else remember the 'baby' Winnie The Pooh nursery trend? I am so glad that is over (it is over, right?).

We went to the place where he proposed (between the two trees on a couch) and for their wedding we are so doing something at that place!
They love everything about Ogden and I loved hanging out with them! I totally can't wait for their wedding!

Drinkstone remembers at special exhibition
A Suffolk man who was killed in action in France 100 years ago during the First World War is being remembered at a special exhibition in Drinkstone, close to his home village.
Private Sidney Rose, 29, was one of four brothers serving with the 8th Battalion Suffolk Regiment when he was killed by a German shell on October 29, 1916, during the final weeks of the Battle of the Somme.
He has no known grave, but his name is inscribed on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing.
An exhibition charting his life and military service has been compiled on behalf of the Drinkstone War Memorial Institute by Robin Sharp.
Vice-chairman Mr Sharp said: "We've been remembering and celebrating the lives of each of the men listed on our Great War Memorial on the centenary of their death.
"I agreed to research the backgrounds of these men and tell their stories, which we felt would be a fitting way to honour their lives."
The exhibition at the village hall will continue the end of November, including the Remembrance Sunday weekend.
Mr Sharp added: "We are pleased to honour the memory of Sidney Rose and show that his life and sacrifice have not been forgotten by this generation of Drinkstonians.
"Sadly, the next man to be remembered will be Private Cecil Rose, Sidney's brother also of the 8th Suffolks.
"The stories of each man are not complete and we would be pleased to receive any further information about Sidney, or of the other 14 men, to help us to recall their lives."

Power of the Holy Spirit
Luke 4:16-21
Isa 61:1-3a,6a,8b-9 / Ps 89 / Rv 1:5-8
Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.
(Luke 4:21)
The Holy Spirit empowers
In deeds and every word we say;
May you be God's blessing to others,
And fulfill the Father's will today.
Jesus went to Nazareth, where He had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day He went into the synagogue, as was His custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Then He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." (Lk.4:16-21).
In today's Gospel, our Lord could well be speaking both in literal and spiritual language. The "poor" could mean both the materially destitute and the spiritually deprived. The "captives" could also refer both to the imprisoned as well as those under the bondage of sin. The "blind" would be the visually impaired as well as those who have not yet found the light of salvation. What is clear in His message is that He represented God's Good News of salvation to the Jews of his time as well as to the future followers of His Church. And as His disciples, we must also follow His example.
One of the tests of our faith in community is when some brother or sister or poor people with problems come to us for help. Following the mandate of the Gospel, which we aspire to live fully, Jesus' words ring clear: "Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow"(Mt. 5:42). St. John also wrote: "Whoever loves God must also love his neighbor" (1 Jn.4:21).
Loving others is never easy, especially when you have problems of your own. The tendency to avoid those who come for help is often too strong to resist. But mindful of our renewed faith, we know we must 'conquer' our selfish disposition. I cannot resist "the Spirit of the Lord, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor" (Luke 4:18).
If in times of need we find it hard to give, when we are offended it is even harder to forgive. Fortunately for us, one of the effects of God's transforming grace is the willingness to forgive. In the renewal, we realize that it is as much for our own good as for the other fellow who has wronged us that we must forgive. We forgive when we no longer carry the grudge or the hurt inflicted on us. Genuine forgiveness brings release from those negative feelings, and freedom to love again the person who has wronged us.
It is not in good times that our faith in Jesus is put to the test. It is in times of need and in times when we are hurting that we are called upon to exercise the love that he has bequeathed to us. It is in this light that Jesus asks us "to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
Help me, Lord, to be strong in will and soft in heart during trying times. Amen.

Bethesda: Skyrim to support modding
Bethesda will once more support creativity with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As far as modder support for the title goes, the company's revealed, nothing has changed from the days of Morrowind and Oblivion.
"We've always been impressed with what the community has done with our tools," the developer said while answering a fan question on its official forums. "Like the Elder Scrolls Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion, we plan to release the Creation Kit so you guys can mod Skyrim."
A kit being released was actually never put in doubt, but it's nice to know for sure, innit. Though, of course, this goes for PC only.
The RPG is out later this year, on November 11.

The 2018 season will likely be a rebuilding year for the Detroit Tigers. New manager Ron Gardenhire will replace Brad Ausmus after Ausmus went just 64-98 as Tigers manager last season. Gardenhire will aim to get the Tigers back on track to the perennial playoff team they were just a few years ago.
Miguel Cabrera, an eleven-time All-Star and two-time American League MVP, is still the face of the Detroit Tigers franchise. As he enters his age-35 season, Miggy needs just 38 home runs to reach 500 career home runs. He would become just the second active player, along with Albert Pujols, to reach the famous threshold. Nicholas Castellanos will join Cabrera as Detroit's top offensive players. Last season the 25-year old third baseman hit .272 with 26 home runs and 101 RBI's.
On the mound, Michael Fulmer is looking towards a huge year in 2018. The 2016 American League Rookie of the Year will be crucial to the Tigers success the next few seasons. He was originally acquired in the trade that sent Yoenis Cespedes to the New York Mets in 2015. Expect the Tigers front office to give plenty of playing time to the team's young prospects in 2018 in order to evaluate the young talent already on the roster.

Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez let off some steam in the gym following reports he is set to sign for Manchester City.
The Chilean posted a video of himself to Instagram, which shows him working out on the heavy bag in Moscow, Russia.
The 28-year-old, who sports a rather fetching pair of green boxing gloves, throws a number of combinations as he looks to stay in shape.
Sanchez has been linked with a move to a number of clubs, including Chelsea and Bayern Munich, throughout the season.
He has appeared unhappy at Arsenal at times, most notably when the team crashed out the Champions League following a 10-2 aggregate defeat.
His form - and apparently his happiness - picked up towards the end of the season as Arsenal lifted the FA Cup with a win over Chelsea.
But speculation has continued to mount as the Gunners missed out on Champions League football for the first time in Arsene Wenger's reign.
And much-respected Chilean journalist Fernando Solabarrieta dropped the bombshell that Pep Guardiola has won the race to sign the forward.
Sanchez has yet to address the reports regarding his future, and is instead keeping his head down and staying fit ahead of Chile's international friendly with Romania on Tuesday.
