text: When and How to Change Your Furnace Filter in Denver Published on December 01, 2015 Maintaining your furnace can help quite a bit in the months in between furnace service appointments. One of the simplest, and critical, ways to care for your furnace lies in changing your furnace filter. Having a clogged air filter could contribute to a host of adverse concerns for your heating and cooling system, its efficiency, and ultimately, how much your energy expenses are each month. So what goes in to determining when you should replace your furnace filter?Type of filter: the two most common filter sizes are 1 inch and 3 inch filters. 1 inch filters typically need to be replaced every month and 3 inch filters need to be changed every three months, based on the recommendations of the filter manufacturer.Home habits: if you have pets in your home, it might make sense to switch out your filter more often as a result of pet dander. If you have someone in the house that deals with allergies or asthma, consider switching out your home's air filter more regularly to help with their symptoms. Now you're possibly wondering how to swap out your furnace filter. More than likely, this will change depending on what furnace you have, but normally: Open or pull off the air filter panel around the bottom of your furnace to uncover an open compartment.On the top of that open compartment is where you will find your furnace filter resting on two metal brackets.There will be a bit of space to move your filter back and forth that allows you to bring down one end of the filter and take it out of the compartment.When adding the new filter, check the perimeter of the filter for an arrow that shows you the air flow direction, to ensure you're installing the filter in the correct direction. In nearly all cases, the arrow should point to the main part (or top) of the furnace. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we'll change out standard one-inch furnace filters as part of our regular furnace service Precision Tune-up or PLUS Maintenance Agreement service.

Tehran, Iran: As women are banned from men's sports events in Iran, five female football fans had to wear men's clothes complete with fake beards and wigs to get past the security in order to get to the stands at the central Azadi Stadium in Tehran. They were determined to be part of their favorite team Persepolis Celebration of their 11th championship of Iran's Persian Gulf Pro League at the Stadium.
Photos and a video of the disguised Iranian women, went viral after they posted them on social media.
Commentators on social media praised their bold move, which can lead to arrest, detention or even a prison term in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Others pointed out that the story repeats the plot of the movie "Offside," in which girls, pretending to be men, sneak into the same stadium to watch a World Cup playoff against Bahrain.
The girls infiltrated the stadium just three weeks after 35 women disguised as men were detained as they tried to attend a match between Persepolis and Esteghlal in Teheran. Those women were later released after being brought to a "proper place" as a ministry spokesman put it.
It didn't go so well for Ghoncheh Ghavami, an Iranian-British woman, who in 2014 attended a World League volleyball match and faced charges of propaganda against the state, spending more than five months in prison.
FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, has recently been criticized for turning a blind eye to the Iranian women's right record in Iran after he visited the Islamic Republic to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Iran's football federation. Infantino rebuffed the criticism, defending the decision not to expel Iran from FIFA.
He stated that Iranian President Hassan Rohani told him that the republic plans to remove the ban, already lifted for some indoor sporting events.
In a historic breakthrough this March, National Basketball Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran has permitted female visitors to take to the stands and watch a game between the national teams of Iran and Iraq.
At the same time the security chief for the Tehran municipality, Alireza Adeli, commenting on the recent incident, told Memri that women are banned because of the "crowds" and "inappropriate conditions."
"The ban is to save their honour, because the stadium's atmosphere, mess, and crowds are no place for women," he stated.

[ F21 striped tee, H&M black midi, Old Navy crossbody bag, JustFab sandals ]
Happy Football Sunday!
When you only have 15 minutes to get ready but still want to look cute at the same time, this would be the outfit that I would pick. Instead of wearing the boring jeans and t-shirt look (although I live in jeans and t-shirt 99.9% of the time), try pairing it with a cute midi skirt and add some bold or statement accessories and you are good to go. I actually forgot to brush my hair too this morning. And speaking of hair, I have a hair appointment this Tuesday and I am thinking of going darker. Not so sure what I would get though, but I'm really into dark cherry chocolate. Guess we'll find out soon won't we? 😉
Thanks for reading lovelies!XOXO ❤

Community Safety MEC, Dan Plato, came out in support of about 200 Philippi residents who marched to their Weltevreden police station to protest against police brutality on Wednesday.
The march against police brutality was the second in the area this month. Up to 1 000 residents from Samora Machel marched to the Nyanga police station on January 15 after resident, Zamuxolo Zozo, died in police custody on January 8 after he was apprehended following a complaint of domestic violence. While Zozo died at the Nyanga police station, it is believed the police officers who arrested him came from the Weltevreden police station in Philippi's Heinz Park.
Outside the Weltevreden police station on Wednesday, residents from Kosovo and Heinz Park in Philippi shouted at the police lined up outside the station, demanding they stop beating residents. Residents said the police are failing in their duty toward them. Instead of protecting them, residents become victims.
Reading a memorandum handed to police, Kosovo Sanco chairperson Patrick Ngqu said: "We are not working against the police but we demand a stop to brutality."
Referring to four police men being investigated for Zozo's death, Ngqu said residents demanded the "law take its course".
He said police involved in a shooting incident earlier this month in Kosovo, in which a teenager was injured, should also be arrested. Ngqu said a 14-year-old boy was injured on Christmas day while on his way home after buying airtime at a shop. He said police saw him running and shot at him, hitting him in the leg.
Ngqu said the boy was still not able to attend school this year and remained on crutches. He demanded the police station be closed, but residents disagreed.
Heinz Park Community Policing Forum Chairperson, Victor Louis, said the police station was needed but police needed to do their work properly.
"The police station must not close, but police must do their work," said Louis. "Everyone has the freedom of safety and security; we are all bound by the same law. As residents of Heinz Park we're not supporting police brutality, we say police need proper training."
MEC Dan Plato said he was there to support the residents. "It's clear the law must take its course for those who are involved in brutality," said Plato.
Police also had a memorandum they handed to residents. It stated that residents must stop hiding criminals, provide information about drugs, stolen goods and fraud in their area, and must stop stoning police vans.
Nyanga police station commander, Bridagia Manci, said they were committed to serving the community and wished to build a partnership with residents.
"All our vans have contact numbers. Residents can use them. On the other hand, the community must stop stoning our vehicles, by doing that they're committing suicide." – Nombulelo Damba

Bruges, Medieval Flanders, Amsterdam & the Dutch Bulbfields River Cruise - MS Oscar Wilde
First we explore the tiny villages of 'old' Holland from where ships of the 16th century Dutch East India Company set sail in search of silks and spices. Then it's off to Arnhem scene of the famous battle in 1944 before visiting Antwerp, the city of Diamonds and Rubens with its main square lined by the tall step-gabled, merchant's houses so typical of the 'low' countries. Then we explore the very best of Flanders in delightfully medieval Ghent. From here we see Ypres and one of Europe's finest 'old world' cities, delightful Bruges. Listen to the sound of the carillion emanating wonderfully from the instantly recognisable Bell Tower, sip a coffee in the old market square and reflect on how wonderful life can be. Finally we discover one of nature's most spectacular of floral displays, the kaleidoscope of colour that is the Dutch Bulbfields.
- Tour of Amsterdam, one of the world's most unique cities
- Walking tour of Bruges, one of Europe's most perfectly preserved medieval towns
- Visit to Arnhem, famous for the 1944 battle vividly depicted in the film 'A Bridge Too Far'
- Tour of Antwerp, the city of Rubens and the 'Flemish Masters'
- Walking tour of Ghent, the 14th century's largest city in Western Europe
- Visit to Ypres and the First World War Battlefields
- Visit to the stunning Keukenhof Gardens - the heart of the Dutch Bulbfields
- Cruise along the Zuiderzee
- Price includes full-board from dinner on your arrival day until breakfast on your final day
- Services of a cruise director and tour manager
- Return flights
- Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a twin cabin with a limited number of single cabins available on all decks, at the relevant supplement. The price includes full board from dinner on your day of arrival until breakfast on your final day; if you choose to travel with us on any of the full day excursions by coach, a packed lunch will be provided. Anyone choosing to stay on the ship may of course have lunch in the restaurant; morning/afternoon tea and coffee; all visits and excursions as mentioned in the brochure, airport transfers, coach travel as mentioned, travel to and from port of embarkation and the services of a Riviera Travel Tour Manager.
- Please note that Wi-Fi speeds on board may vary.
You can fly to Amsterdam from a variety of airports. Here you will be taken to the ship in Amsterdam where the dedicated crew welcome you on board, ensuring you settle into your comfortable and extremely well-equipped cabin and familiarise yourself with the ship, your first-class floating hotel.
Breakfast is an institution on our river cruisers and you are always assured of a magnificent selection, the perfect start to the day. We are moored in the heart of fascinating Amsterdam, so we take a delightful sightseeing cruise around its picturesque canals – in classic glass-topped boats. The tour brings a real insight into Amsterdam's history, art and people, throughout history at the heart of European culture and commerce and often a fierce rival to British ambitions! You'll see a fascinating variety of gabled buildings along the charming waterfronts, slide beneath bridges immortalised by the great artists and hear about Old Masters like Rembrandt and heroes such as Anne Frank, whose diaries tell an extraordinarily moving story. A splendid buffet lunch awaits your return as we slip away from the quayside towards the Ijsselmeer the lake created when the Zuiderzee was dammed, then on to Volendam, a delightful fishing village preserved almost as it was centuries ago! Retaining much of its charm, it is not difficult to imagine hard-working fishermen returning with their catch with their womenfolk repairing nets in front of the quaint wooden cottages lining the waterfront. Many villagers still wear traditional dress, including white pinafores and curved bonnets as they wander through the maze of alleys behind Volendam's protective dyke. Next we cruise to historic Hoorn, once a prosperous port of the Dutch East India Company. Reminiscent of another age, it is a delightful mix of imposing 15tho t 19th century, brick-built mercantile warehouses, cobbled squares and twisting alleys. Hoorn's ships traded the world over, with one intrepid sailor even naming the southernmost tip of South America after his home town – Cape Horn! There's time to explore this intriguing spot before another splendid dinner.
One of the delights of river cruising is the enchanting experience of awaking in a new world, the water gently lapping as the ship glides almost imperceptibly along. We are now deep in the heart of Holland passing flower bedecked houseboats, flocks wildfowl and of course windmills! We soon arrive in Arnhem, once a member of the Hanseatic League, but since 1944 synonymous with the ill-fated battle so vividly depicted in the film 'A Bridge Too Far'. We visit the former British HQ at Oosterbeek, now an excellent museum and the poignant Commonwealth War Cemetery, the final resting place of so many. Back on board, we cruise along the mighty River Rhine, one of Europe's foremost waterways before enjoying another sumptuous dinner on board, as the riverside lights twinkle on.
This morning there's a chance to marvel at the Captain's skill as he calmly navigates the busy River Scheldt and moors in Antwerp, birthplace of the Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens. This morning we enjoy a tour led by a local guide taking in its numerous highlights and lesser-known features. Once part of the Spanish Empire, Antwerp grew wealthy during its 16th-century Golden Age, when it was Europe's largest port north of the Alps, with profits invested in the city's Flemish art and architectural heritage, and later it became the world's diamond trading centre. At its heart is the captivating main square – the Grote Markt – dominated by ornately gabled guildhouses, the Renaissance town hall and opulent Brabo Fountain. This afternoon is free to explore as you wish, perhaps visiting Rubens' extravagant former home and studio, the magnificent Gothic cathedral or even the painstakingly restored train station, of such architectural splendour it is often called the 'Railway Cathedral'.
Today we awake in medieval Ghent, once Western Europe's largest city and our picturesque base for the next two days. Ghent is a perfectly preserved medieval gem boasting: a gorgeously unspoilt waterfront; the imposing Gravenstein fortress towering above the river; a 13th century skyline punctured by the soaring belfry and Van Eyck's masterpiece 'Adoration of the Mystic Lamb' which decorates the cathedral. This morning we have a sightseeing tour and after lunch we visit Ypres, a name synonymous with the horrors of the Great War and the centre of British activity in Belgium. Almost totally destroyed Ypres is now a place of pilgrimage, peace and reflection. We learn about some of the places made famous during the fighting. You may wish to visit the excellent, 'In Flanders Fields' Museum' in the heart of the beautifully restored town centre and a must for those interested in the decisions of the Generals and the extraordinary lives of the ordinary soldiers and civilians. We also visit Tyne Cot Cemetery and the infamous battlefield of Passchendaele. Ypres is the home of the Menin Gate, the incredibly moving memorial to the missing where the last post is played every evening. However, this excursion is not compulsory so should you choose to have free time in Ghent, perhaps ride in a horse drawn carriage, or visit one of the many other attractions, this afternoon is the ideal opportunity to do so.
After breakfast we take the short drive to Bruges, one of Europe's most perfectly preserved medieval cities and have a guided walk of this beautiful town which really does carry its remarkable medieval legacy with charm and to perfection. The whole atmosphere of Bruges is pure romance with its streets crammed with fascination. It is so exquisitely compact, centred on the main square, dominated by the soaring Belfry and when the unique old Flemish chimes are heard, the atmosphere is idyllic. You can climb this tower and if you can face the 366 steps, the view is breathtaking. You will also see the City Hall, the old Law Courts and the Basilaic of the Holy Blood in which is housed some of Jesus' blood. Another must is the Notre Dame Church which houses Michelangelo's beautiful Madonna and Child, carved in white carrara marble, plus of course the legendary chocolate shops! You will be reluctant to leave this utterly enchanting place although the promise of more first-class dining in the ship's superb restaurant will not disappoint. This evening we leave Ghent returning to Holland
Early risers discover the ship making effortless progress along the delightful waterways and you experience the somewhat surreal effect of cruising above the height of the surrounding reclaimed 'polder'- it's almost like flying! Today we take you to the stunning Keukenhof Gardens, the heart of the glorious bulbfields. On arrival, nothing quite prepares you for the dazzling spectrum of colours stretched out before you, the countryside ablaze in a riot of colour unsurpassed anywhere else in the world. The art of the flower garden reaches breathtaking heights here, as you marvel at the tens of thousands of blooms set amongst a delightful landscape of shimmering lakes, ancient trees, flowering shrubs and beautiful water gardens. We rejoin our ship in Amsterdam and after lunch you are free to explore as you wish. Perhaps you may wish to admire the fine art of the Rijksmuseum, with its many works by the Great Masters, or the Van Gogh Museum housing the world's greatest collection by this genius of a man. Alternatively perhaps, relax in a pavement café absorbing Amsterdam's special atmosphere over a rich Dutch coffee, go shopping or just stay on board catching up on some reading; the choice is yours. This evening is the Captain's Dinner, where the chef prepares his superb 'signature' dishes served in delightful surroundings, with chance to reflect on the fascinating places you have discovered, poignant stories you have heard and interesting, like-minded people you have met.
After breakfast this morning your friendly crew bid you farewell before you return home.
Life on board
After years of painstaking research to create the most perfect vessels afloat, a new era in river cruising dawns as we introduce our brand new, state of the art, 'all suite' ships. Swiss operated and truly world-class, we are absolutely delighted to present the five-star MS Oscar Wilde. It is extremely difficult to convey just how extraordinary this outstanding ship really is and exactly what distinguishes it from similar vessels. It would be very easy to just say 'luxurious' but it's much more than that; we have deliberately avoided the current trend for a minimalist style where you could be anywhere in the world, creating instead a unique yet exquisite blend of understated taste, style and elegance at the highest level. Immediately striking is just how exceptionally spacious this new vessel is as you enter a gleaming, richly coloured marble-floored lobby flooded with natural light from a stunning atrium above. Moving inside, exceptional creativity from Europe's finest design studio has produced a superbly balanced masterpiece of onboard style, utilising sustainable rich hardwoods, gleaming brass and polished copper, sparkling glass and intricate wrought iron. The ship is beautifully illuminated throughout – including the exterior and imaginatively furnished with harmonious colour schemes, all designed to create the serene atmosphere reflective of the golden age of cruising which time after time you tell us you adore. The restaurant rivals the finest on shore establishments taking fine dining to another level complemented by delicate European porcelain, gleaming glassware and the intuitive service in which the Swiss excel. This superb vessel carries 44 in-house trained crew members serving just 169 guests (similar size vessels may carry well over 190 passengers) giving the ratio which our experience proves is concurrent with our first class service levels. Furthermore your suite will easily exceed your expectations for not only will you enjoy the most discerning décor, so too the ship's dimensions afford the ultimate in space and comfort - a minimum 17 square metres (183 square feet), with upgrades available to 'Superior' and 'Deluxe' accommodation.

My friend and I decided to do the history and Whiskey Tour. We were the only ones on our tour, which gave it a fantastic personal feel. Rick was super knowledgeable about local history and catered to our liking. The Whiskey portion felt like an entirely new tour. Again, Rick and was awesome and was able to teach us a great amount. This was definitely my favorite part of our trip. Rick was the best tour guide. Will definitely do more tours with him when we return.
My friends and I took the Wild West Cowboy Tour. It sounded cool, I was interested in the old west history, and we all like to drink and dance. We had a great time. It was put together really well, and the bus was NICE! I would like to do another tour in the future. Great guide!

Hello! I am Erin, founder of The Tannehill Homestead! From being a wife to a career woman to taking care of a homestead, my life is anything but ordinary. I married a man I fell in love with at first sight [at the ripe age of 15]. Together we have 2 fur babies – Chevy & Harley, a flock of chickens, and an ever changing homestead. While our life is far from what I originally imagined, I am madly in love with it!
My husband and I knew, long before we met, we wanted to build the home our [one day] children would grow up in and have a farm similar to Old MacDonald's farm! To say that God knew what He was doing when He created us for each other is an understatement.
In 2015, we signed the paperwork to purchase the land that would put these dreams into action. No longer were we going to rely on conventional ways to provide for our family. We took control the day we signed those papers, and it felt so great!
We downsized our living space, 1,450+ square feet to 600 square feet, and increased our acreage, from 2 acres to 18 acres. While it felt like a crazy idea at the time, it was the first step in changing our lives forever!
Since signing the papers, we have raised chickens, puppies, pigs, cows, and vegetable gardens. There has been great success and failures, but is that not the best part about learning?
The Purpose of The Tannehill Homestead Blog
Transitioning into a homestead lifestyle came with a lot of changes. It is how I began my minimalism journey, which birthed The Tannehill Homestead Blog, previously known as A Welder's Wife. Learning how to cultivate a life that I am passionate about led me to learning that I love showing others how to do the same thing!
We all deserve to live our best life without the excess that blocks us from achieving it. To keep things simple, I have divided my blog into three key areas that all intertwine together.
- Homesteading
- Simple Living
- Decluttering
Each of these key areas have helped me mold a life that I love, and I know they can help you, too! Just for fun and to help you get to know me a little better, let me share just a piece of what you can expect from each of these key areas.
With living life on a modern homestead, my husband and I knew the learning curve would be like riding a roller coaster, which is why this blog exists! I want to share not only our journey, but also all the great things we learn along the way that can help you! I am not perfect by any means, and you will not see perfectionism within this space.
What you can expect:
- Our homesteading stories – success and failure
- Beginner Tips
- How to grow your own food
- What it takes to raise all the different farm animals
- The purpose behind what we do
- How to become more self-sufficient
- Farm fresh recipes
I knew nothing about homesteading when we got started. I jumped into head first in 2015, and never regretted it for a second!
Simple Living
The art of living simple is one I took in bite size pieces. From living the fast-paced lifestyle to slowing down and really thinking about priorities, my life did a total 180º. Things like switching out my home cleaning products to paying attention to my diet were things I never thought about before transitioning into living simple.
What you can expect:
- Swaps that make life easier
- Money saving tips!
- Self-care routines
- Intentional living tips
- Why mental health awareness is important
- Cleaning tips, including time savers
- Natural DIY recipe alternatives
- & of course, my best minimalist living advice
Of course, my entire transition from living the fast-paced lifestyle into living simple and homesteading became possible when I decluttered my life of the excess. This was the greatest insight to how burdened my life truly was and showed me how desperate I was to find meaning in my life. My previous outlook on life feels like a big blur and misunderstanding of what success truly is.
Decluttering my home took a good year to tackle with big and small projects. It was the biggest year of self-discovery I have yet to experience. With all of the excess removed from my life, I am able to see the bigger picture. Through decluttering and downsizing, I found my passion and purpose for my life that I searched for so long to find.
What you can expect:
- Declutter tips & tricks
- Decluttering individual rooms
- How to declutter by category
- Decluttering challenges
- Fast declutter tips
- Declutter to tidy
- How to keep the big picture in mind when you want to give up
Warning: This next piece may sound a bit cliche!
One piece of advice…
If you would have asked me in 2014 what I saw for my life within the next 5 years, this would not be it. Sure, building a home, purchasing land, and starting a farm were in the cards at some point; but not so soon!
I always thought I would have children before we could afford to go after our dreams, but it worked out just the opposite. Funny how life throws your curve balls, and I am married to a man who never strikes out when one is pitched our way.
If I could offer you one piece of advice for your life, it is to always live with an open mind. Great things happen when you are open to changing your life, making small adjustments, or just adding in some self-care. No matter how big or small – be open to new ideas!
Follow The Tannehill Homestead…
on my journey to learn what modern homesteading can look like and how you can become more self-sufficient in your own life! With decluttering, simplifying your life, and getting to the roots of who you are, I know you can achieve success!
I promise, my advice will be simple to follow. You may not always care for it, but great things do not come easy. I should know. I fought it for so long, but you do not have to! Change your life today by subscribing via email in the below form!
Join me on my journey & start your very own today!

According to the US Ambassador Philip Goldberg last Thursday that the United States faces the same problems on drugs like the Philippines. He stated that he is committed to supporting President's Duterte's campaign against illegal drugs. But he stressed that due process should be observed.
Despite the issues between the relationship of the United States and the Philippines, the Philippine leader is still open for communication to other world leaders. Last Wednesday, July 27, 2016 in Malacañang Palace, US Secretary of State John Kerry has a meeting with the Philippine President. Their meeting includes the discussion of South China Sea dispute and of course, the fight against crimes.
Goldberg, Kerry, and President Duterte are former prosecutors, so they believed that the President knows what he is doing because he knows the legal aspects of the fight against drugs.
"They know about how to go about the legal aspects of this but we made clear that this is the way that we deal with it and this is the way that everyone should deal with it. I think that's at least from the Philippine side that they said they were going to proceed," Goldberg said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone, hailed as a hero for helping to tackle a gunman on a French train in August, was stabbed and seriously wounded outside a bar in his hometown early Thursday in what police said was an alcohol-related fight that had nothing to do with terrorism.
Stone, 23, was stabbed repeatedly in the upper body while out with four friends and was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, authorities said. He was expected to pull through.
CBS News has learned that Stone was in stable condition after surgery. According to a source, he has a collapsed left lung and was expected to remain in the hospital for two to four days.
Thursday evening, police released a new video that they say they believe shows suspects fleeing the scene.
During a news conference Thursday, hospital officials said Stone is in serious condition, but is expected to make full recovery. Hospital officials said he has three stab wounds to his torso. And he is currently heavily sedated but conscious.
Police said two assailants, described by Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard as male Asian adults, fled in a car. No immediate arrests were made.
"This incident is not related to terrorism in any way," Bernard said. "We know it's not related to what occurred in France months ago."
Bernard said the stabbing was "related to a nightclub incident" involving Stone's crowd and another group of people. Bernard would not say what the fight was about and said there was no evidence Stone's assailants knew who he was.
The deputy chief said he did not know whether Stone was drinking, but others in his group were.
A law enforcement official said when Stone's group left the bar he and the suspect got into an argument that led to his stabbing, CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton reports.
Neither Stone nor the people with him appear to know the suspect, the official said.
Stone was not armed, the official said.
In a statement, the hospital said Stone's family "appreciates the outpouring of love and support" and requests privacy.
Over the summer, Stone and two of his childhood friends from Sacramento, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and college student Anthony Sadler, were vacationing in Europe when they thwarted a terror attack on a Paris-bound passenger train by taking down Ayoub El-Khazzani, a man with ties to radical Islam. He had boarded the train with a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol and a box cutter.
Stone, who is assigned to Travis Air Force Base in California, suffered a cut thumb and other injuries in stopping the gunman.
Skarlatos reacted to Stone's stabbing on Twitter.
Everybody send prayers out to the stone family today
— alek skarlatos (@alekskarlatos) October 8, 2015
Stone is the second of the three Americans to be touched by violence since returning home. Last week, Skarlatos left rehearsals for TV's "Dancing With the Stars" to rush back to his hometown of Roseburg, Oregon, after a gunman killed nine people at the community college Skarlatos had attended.
President Obama met with the three Americans last month, praising them for their quick thinking and courage and calling them "the very best of America." They were also awarded France's highest honor by President Francois Hollande. The three appeared on late-night talk shows and received a parade in their hometown.
The stabbing happened in a busy area of central Sacramento ringed with bars and restaurants that is a popular nightlife destination for young adults and is generally considered safe.

It's up to Indongo to quit or continue – Carter
Otniel Hembapu Windhoek-Namibia's former triple world champion Julius 'Blue Machine' Indongo's baffling second-round knockout defeat to American young boxing sensation Regis Prograis during their Interim WBC super lightweight world title fight over the weekend left many boxing pundits, as well as the general public, with mixed emotions and reactions. Social media platforms and various international boxing shows were abuzz with mixed opinions and reactions, with many questioning the readiness, mental and physical state of Indongo ahead of the mega fight while many others simply called on the 35-year-old Indongo to consider gracefully hanging up his gloves. Frankly speaking, the Indongo that fought against Prograis at the weekend, as well as the Indongo that puzzlingly lost against America's Terence Crawford last year, is unexplainably worlds apart from the calm cat-footed, hard-punching and explosive Indongo that once made Namibia proud in 2016 when he travelled to Moscow to dethrone IBF junior welterweight champion Eduard Troyanovsky four seconds into the first round with a jaw-cracking left hand. The jelly-legged and glass-chinned Indongo that lost to 29-year-old Prograis at the weekend is not the same Indongo that trekked to Glasgow, Scotland, last year to mercilessly punish and outpoint Scotsman Ricky Burns to unify the IBF/WBA world titles. The Indongo the world watched over the weekend lacked aggression, lacked elegance, looked disorganized and looked frightened by the stocky Prograis, and was not composed at all. To bluntly sum it up, Indongo appeared like a greenhorn in the business of trading leather, as his punches were off target and lacked any power and it became evident that his jaws cannot take big punches. Speaking of lack of awareness, Indongo allowed himself to get trapped, exposed and hanging on for dear life on the ropes where he was sagging under Prograis' furious onslaught. Indongo was slow, his timing was bad and Prograis caught him with sloppy but somewhat powerful shots. Strangely, towards the end of the opening round, the Namibian's tank appeared to be depleting fast and out of steam, as he rushed backwards, grabbing and groping at Prograis to avoid any further harm. Prograis (21-0, 18 KO) dropped Indongo (22-2, 11 KO) at the end of the first round, and then three more times in the second round, with the Namibian failing to fully reboot his legs and end of the fight came at 2:54 of round two, as Indongo was no longer able to withstand a further punch. With all sorts of speculations rife after the fight, Indongo's new American manager Michael Carter took to his Facebook page to clear the air and set the record straight, as many suggested Carter and his camp might dump the Namibian after his sluggish defeat. "To all of the family, fans, and friends of Julius Indongo, Julius has been released from the hospital after undergoing multiple exams for head trauma. As of this time, medically, he is fine and should recover completely from his injuries. As you can imagine, he is emotionally down right now, as anyone would be. To become a world champion of anything, especially in boxing, there is something special about a person which really has nothing to do with their skills in the sport…That's why I know Julius will pick himself up and become even more a source of pride to Namibians, even if it is outside the ring. "Whether we ever see him in the ring again is really not important in the eyes of Team Indongo. What's more important is that he recovers completely. If he chooses to walk away from boxing, we will support his decision to the fullest. If not, we will support him as well. Nothing that happened last night (Friday night) can take away from what he has already accomplished inside the boxing ring. So, if this indeed is the end of his career, our team is nothing but proud of our Namibian brother who has represented his country with the highest level of consideration… This contract will not be terminated, Indongo will make his own decision. I will support whatever decision he makes. His own discernment will dictate his circumstance," said the Omaha-based promoter. "I felt his punches, he could't punch, he couldn't hurt me. I got a little reckless, but I got the job done, I can't complain. I haven't been able to show my full arsenal yet. I haven't had an opponent that can bring it out of me. I get paid the same thing for the first round or the 12th round, so I might as well get them out early," said Prograis, who now holds the interim WBC title, with the full belt to be decided next weekend between Jose Ramirez and Amir Imam.

Food Security
The Nationals Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Food Security, Fisheries and Forestry the Hon. John Cobb has today announced the Coalition's plan to secure the nations food security.
"The Nationals recognise that food and water security are already becoming the defining issues of the 21st century, and food producers in the Riverina are coming under enormous pressure to increase productivity while using fewer natural resources," Mr McCormack said.
"Here in the Riverina, our farmers are amongst the worlds leaders in thinking strategically about food production and have for many years led the way in developing efficient and sustainable food production systems.
"Many of the world's traditional food and fibre producing areas face issues such as urban spread, desertification and declining water resources, resulting in fewer areas available for food and fibre production.
"This is why the Riverina is so vitally important to our food security. I cannot stress this enough!
Under the plan announced by The Nationals Shadow Minister John Cobb, the Coalition will boost Australian agriculture.
The plan includes Increased Research and Development for primary production funding of $150million over three years; A $5 million four-year scientist/researchers pilot programme offering grants of up to $50,000 for specialised research, mentoring or further study; Grants totalling $50 million over four years for farmers undertaking water-saving activities for stock use; $20 million over four years towards a large scale Feral Animal Control Programme; A Saltbush Planting Programme to provide up to $100,000 matched dollar for dollar per annum per farm enterprise and up to $250,000 per established nursery per annum; $8 million for a "third party" auditable map of Australia's Agricultural Production carbon footprint; $2 million for a "Green Tape" audit of all environmental legislation and regulations; $15 million for a Bio-security Flying Squad to provide urgent additional resources when a bio-security risk is identified.
"Border security will be given rightful recognition as opposed to the current situation under Labor with an additional $108.1 million allocated to Bio-security and Customs agencies, which will give support to our local industries including apple growers," Mr McCormack said.

Find the High Potential of Your Website through SEO
The steps of creating a website should be followed in a logical order starts with registering a domain, with a hosting package and with the actual creation. Some either call a web designer, or some create their own site with the help of platforms.
Regardless of the situation, maintaining a website and increasing notoriety depends on how important and time it is given. Thus, one of the most important factors for traffic capture is search engine optimization, a process called SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Unfortunately, this process is neglected by many site owners, which affects negatively, as search engine traffic may be up to 65-70%.
Specifically, SEO involves several techniques to design and update the site in order to get the most prominent positions in the search engines, by querying certain keywords. Although there are many search engines globally (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, Yandex, AOL, etc.), Google owns the market monopoly, which is why most of the solutions are for Google SEO. Some companies like LinkHelpers SEO Phoenix do these things perfectly.
What are Google's main indexing and ranking algorithms?
When creating a website, the system must be designed to include html tags, such as meta description, meta keywords, friendly URLs, etc. Also, each page of the website must have specific keywords and place them in the content of the page. The old Google algorithm considers a good Page Rank to be a leading position – that's why you must be enrolled in some web directories, portals, and, more recently, blogs on the same domain.
- Of course, at least to maintain the same position, a constant investment is required for SEO. In addition to other issues, in April this year, Google has changed its ranking algorithm. Thus, it promotes in the ranking those websites that are mobile responsive, to the detriment of those that are not accessible on mobile devices.
- Also, lately, content marketing is becoming increasingly popular – as Google itself says "Content is the King," the algorithm focuses more on creating and publishing original and quality content that is relevant to readers. Therefore, it is recommended that any website, regardless of the field of activity, owns a blog, which constantly publishes relevant content for its readers.
If the online business requires performance, it is recommended to call an SEO specialist to implement SEO methods and strategies to help capture as much traffic as possible on search engines with certainty, the investment will be beneficial in time.
Important Facts about Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization – this is a revolutionary word that has taken a remarkable turn into the W 3 system. With the world of benefits that the SEO has to offer, every business is now moving into a new horizon of developing a search engine optimized website that helps to boost its business, grab new customers, seek customer attention and drive more traffic towards the business website. You see, the cliché behind a successful business is the high number of customers or clients and high amounts of sales which in turn lead to high returns on investments. So, ideally, when you have such huge genre of benefits with search engine optimization techniques like creating link, back link, Meta tags and keywords; then opting for it should not be a matter of second thought ever. Talk to Scottsdale SEO professionals.
Here are some more facts and features of what search engine optimization is all about!
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is highly significant as it helps in promoting your website by bringing it to the top pages on leading search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Bing, MSN etc.
- All that you are required to do is to seek professional advice on choosing the right keywords and anchor text with which your business website will be optimized.
- SEO happens to be a continuous requirement and hence you cannot stop it when you find that your keyword has a high rank. Always remember that like you, there are several businesses who are striving hard to make it big on the global platform.
- All the leading search engines will constantly update ranking algorithms and their database and the search results will keep changing accordingly.
- Hence you require monitoring and modifying keywords as per the changing needs.
Quality SEO Service
- You cannot always earn the first position even when you have a quality SEO service with you.
- Also, you cannot rely on a single traffic source. Traffic can be brought to your website by some other search engines too and not just by the leading ones.
- There can be fluctuation in your page ranking if a change is brought in algorithms by the search engine.
Proper SEO Strategies
- Through proper Scottsdale SEO strategies and ethical ways, you can expect to get back your top position soon.
- You should remember that Meta tags which are stuffed with keywords alone would not be helping SEO now.
- Link building on a mass scale without offering attention to the website quality is not at all a good strategy.
Design Basics for Bloggers – In Simple Steps to Professional Blog Design
When a reader visits your blog, you have 15 seconds to make a good first impression with a nice blog design. If your blog design looks unprofessional, or distracts many banners and pop-ups from the basics, chances are you've already lost the reader. The solution lies in an appealing blog design. Since every blog and blogger is very different, there is no blanket solution. These guidelines should help you to find the right blog design for your blog.
- Optimize blog design: It's hard to start with
The actual work for a new design should start well before the selection of a theme. First, you should ask yourself a few questions: What suits you, your blog and what is your message? What kind of content will be mostly on your blog? Do you focus on visual or textual content? In addition, you should consider which functions are particularly important for you and your goals. Writing down these points for you will help you get a better overview of the requirements of your (new) blog design.
- The selection of the theme
Your theme alone should not take all the reader's attention, but support the impact of your content and fit into the blog design (except maybe your blog revolves around "web design").
When choosing the theme, you should pay attention to a few things. First, your theme should be a responsive theme. This means it's also optimized for mobile because many readers read digital content on their phone or tablet. For the beautiful Design blog this is a very important option now.
- Branding through Blog Design: The Header
Your blog including your blog design represents you and your brand. In the first step you should start with the design of your header. In the header you can use your logo to increase the recognition value of your blog and make a good first impression. A good logo is easy to recognize without distracting from the actual content.
- Even with the blog design: Less is more
In the implementation of a blog design, there are often countless opportunities that you would like to try all at once. However, also applies to your blog: A tidy and clear blog design always looks good and professional.
A simple way to implement this is the use of free space, eg in the area of images, texts or other elements. It gives the various elements more impact space. When choosing and combining different colors on your blog, you should be careful. Two (maybe three) colors can have a positive effect on the positioning of your own brand, but should not drown out everything else.
- Blog Design: The user experience and general design standards
When you create your blog design, it can be particularly helpful to imagine that you, as a new reader, come to your blog. What do you notice first? Do you find everything you are looking for at first glance? If you can agree with these points, you are on the right path to a good and efficient blog design.
- Check your blog design regularly
If you are satisfied with your design so far, you should check your design on different devices. You should also test whether all social media links, the links in the menu, but also the imprint and privacy policy work properly. This should be repeated at regular intervals to make sure everything is working properly.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Marriages
By Snyder & Sarno on August 21, 2013
Financial disputes play a major role in divorce actions, especially where alimony is concerned. There are four different types of alimony: permanent, limited duration, rehabilitative, and reimbursement. Generally speaking, permanent alimony is awarded to a dependent spouse when a marriage is considered long-term, and limited duration alimony is awarded to a dependent spouse when a marriage is considered short-term. There are no hard and fast rules for determining what is considered a long-term or short-term marriage, however in a recent case, Gnall v. Gnall, the Appellate Division shed some light on what should be considered a long-term marriage for purposes of determining whether an alimony award should be permanent or for a limited duration.
In this case, the parties were married for fifteen years, during the majority of the time the husband worked and the wife stayed home to raise their three children. The Family Part judge concluded that the fifteen-year marriage was not a short-term marriage, however, the parties were relatively young, healthy, and educated which would allow them to work and earn good salaries. Thus, the trial judge held that the parties were not married long enough nor were they old enough to require an award of permanent alimony.
The Appellate Division reversed. The court set forth the factors listed in N.J.S.A. 2A:34-23b that must be considered when awarding alimony, which include:
(1) The actual need and ability of the parties to pay;
(2) The duration of the marriage or civil union;
(3) The age, physical and emotional health of the parties;
(4) The standard of living established in the marriage or civil union and the likelihood that each party can maintain a reasonably comparable standard of living;
(5) The earning capacities, educational levels, vocational skills, and employability of the parties;
(6) The length of absence from the job market of the party seeking maintenance;
(7) The parental responsibilities for the children;
(8) The time and expense necessary to acquire sufficient education or training to enable the party seeking maintenance to find appropriate employment;
(9) The history of the financial or non-financial contributions to the marriage or civil union by each party including contributions to the care and education of the children and interruption of personal careers or educational opportunities;
(10) The equitable distribution of property ordered;
(11) The income available to either party through investment of any assets held by that party;
(12) The tax treatment and consequences to both parties of any alimony award;
(13) Any other factors which the court may deem relevant.
The court also made clear that limited duration alimony should not be awarded in cases where permanent alimony is warranted, and that the length of the marriage is the defining distinction between permanent and limited duration alimony. The Appellate Division held that, though it did "not intend to draw specific lines delineating 'short-term' and 'long-term' marriages . . . a fifteen-year marriage is not short-term, a conclusion which precludes consideration of an award of limited duration alimony." Thus, the court reversed and remanded for an award of permanent alimony.
Though there is still no clear line of what makes for a short-term or long-term marriage, Gnall takes us one step closer to the answer by providing that a fifteen-year marriage is long-term for purposes of awarding alimony. If you have questions about your alimony award, contact the experienced attorneys at Snyder & Sarno at (973) 274-5200.

Thanks Trish Steele for inviting me to go to "In His Presence Church" this Sunday.
I grew up as a Christian in a Seventh Day Adventist Christian family. My family and I were regular churchgoers till I was about 10-12 years old when my dad moved out of the mission to start his private business. Even though I read the Bible and prayed through Christ every morning and night, including saying grace before every meal, church-going was optional. Over time, going to Church became less frequent.
I started becoming more universal, which I considered to be a good thing. I did not feel brain washed by the family tradition of Christian religion. I made friends in all faiths and enjoyed their company and learned a lot of good things their faiths offered. I liked my life and my attitude of being more accepting and inclusive of all people and religions. I still like that about myself. I am very open to meeting and spending time with all people; their religious preference has never been a filter for me. I usually do not even ask or think about asking what religion someone belongs to.
I married a guy who came from a family that lived by Hindu philosophy, and he did not follow any religion
So, my conviction that there are good people in all religions became stronger over time. The fact that the Bible says you will go to hell if you do not accept Christ as your savior was becoming a question in my mind. If there is actually a Heaven and a Hell to go to after death, how could all the amazing people in the world go to hell because they did not accept Christianity? I do not want to believe that still.
The constant conflict over this one question and not going to church regularly, combined with my universal acceptance and spirituality, moved me farther from the church. Whenever I did go to church, many times I felt like the business aspect of most churches I went to made me feel like I was wasting the time and effort that I made to go to church.
In His Presence Church was different. It was fun! It started like a rock concert with lively gospel songs. The preacher kept the sermon focused, informative and intelligent. It made me think and contemplate. It made sense. It did not feel like a lecture expecting obedience.
I dressed up in church proper attire. It was nice to be in a community where how you dress was not so important. Everyone was enjoying reading the Bible, singing and learning in a relaxed atmosphere.
Church can actually be fun!

U.S. Probes Apple Over Updates That Slow Older iPhonesBy
Tom Schoenbergand
Matt Robinson
Apple said in December a software update affected some phones
Company cut price of replacement batteries after complaints
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating whether Apple Inc. violated securities laws concerning its disclosures about a software update that slowed older iPhone models, according to people familiar with the matter.
The government has requested information from the company, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the probe is private. The inquiry is in early stages, they cautioned, and it's too soon to conclude any enforcement will follow.
A spokesman for the SEC declined to comment. An Apple spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Shares of the company fell 1.3 percent to $165.87 in early afternoon trading in New York.
The news comes as Apple shares have been under pressure on concern about weaker-then-expected iPhone X sales ahead of its earnings report on Thursday.
Several weeks ago, the company admitted to slowing down the performance of older iPhones models to make their batteries last longer. Apple released a software update early in 2017 that throttled older iPhones, but didn't specify that the action slowed the devices. In December, Apple apologized for not clearly communicating this information and vowed to release another update to mitigate the concern.
The slowdowns only occur when the iPhone's battery reaches a certain, unspecified point of low health and can be fixed if a user replaces the old battery with a new one. As part of its public apology, Apple cut the prices of battery replacements in its stores to $29, a $50 discount.
Apple plans to release an iPhone software update, called iOS 11.3, in the spring with new features that allow users to monitor the health of their batteries and protect against slowdowns. If consumers turn off the throttling, older iPhones will be more prone to randomly rebooting, Apple has said. The system affects iPhone 7 models and older, but not the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, according to the company.
After apologizing to customers in December, Apple was sued by consumer advocacy groups and individual iPhone users in a global backlash. U.S. government officials, including Senator John Thune have also questioned Apple about the slowdowns.
The situation is a self-inflicted black eye on the company, based in Cupertino, California. The company has been wrestling with some other software-related issues, including processor vulnerabilities that have affected other technology companies and a login flaw that allows intruders to access files on Mac computers without a passcode. Apple is delaying some key iPhone and Mac software features planned for release this year to focus on quality improvements, Bloomberg News reported earlier today.

text:
Monday 6.9.08– We decide to get a third opinion in our case, and we switch RE's again. This is after 4 unsuccessful IUI's and 2.5 years of trying to have a baby. Third time's the charm, right?
Friday 6.20.08– We meet and get the green light from our new RE – he thinks we are excellent candidates for IVF.
Thursday 7.3.08– Aunt flo FINALLY comes (five days late), so we can get this party started!
Saturday 7.5.08– Kerry starts birth control and goes in for day three blood work and an ultrasound (all is clear on the u/s – woo hoo!).
Monday 7.7.08– We got Kerry's blood work results back in an email from our IVF nurse. It read, "labs from this weekend were all normal – FSH 5, E2 55, TSH 1.23, Prolactin 23, and Free T4 1.009…all looks great!"
Thursday 7.10.08– We had our IVF nurse consult, SHG, and financial consult (ouch!). Found out I have a lazy uterus, LOL! Also paid for our IVF drugs (our copay was $708.51 – double ouch).
Friday 7.11.08– Got the drugs in the mail – oy!
Wednesday 7.16.08 – We met with our embryologist, Sherri, and Kerry had her trial embryo transfer. We started Lupron (10 units) that night.
Sunday 7.20.08 – Last day of birth control – thank GOD!
Wednesday 7.23.08– (Hopefully) the last AF for the next 10 or 11 months is here…decreased Lupron to 5 units and started Dexamethasone, which is an oral medication that is supposed to help with egg quality.
Thursday 7.24.08– Kerry went in for Day Two blood work and an ultrasound – everything was clear – this cycle is a GO!!! Also paid the balance of what we owe Conceptions for our IVF cycle (only not really, since we will likely have a 5-day transfer, which is an extra $2K, and ICSI, which is an additional $3K). Holy crap.
Friday 7.25.08– Kerry started Menopur 225 iu at 7 o'clock this morning (along with the Dexamethasone). We'll do 75 iu of Bravelle and 5 units of Lupron tonight. This dosage will continue for at least the next two to three days, until the next blood draw and ultrasound on Monday.
Monday 7.28.08– First ultrasound and blood work results are in! Kerry has 14 follicles, and they are all still pretty small, but the average person only produces 8 by the time they reach Day Six, so we're cool with that! Her estrogen level went from 30 last Thursday, to 148 today, which is also AWESOME! We will continue with 225 iu of Menopur in the morning (with the Dexamethasone), 75 iu of Bravelle and 5 units of Lupron in the evening until our next appointment on Thursday.
Thursday 7.31.08– Second ultrasound and blood work results are in! Kerry still has 14 follies, and they are measuring (in mm) 18, 17, 14, 14, 13, 13, 12, 12 11, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9. Her estrogen went from 148 to 883, and her endometrial lining was a 10! Doctors orders were to continue with the same dosages of medication, and come back tomorrow morning for another ultrasound and blood work, so we will update tomorrow!
Friday 8.1.08 – Third ultrasound and blood work results are in! Kerry now has 15 follicles, ranging from 9 – 18 mm, and her estrogen went from 883 to 1416. We will go back to the RE tomorrow morning at 9:15!
Saturday 8.2.08– Fourth (and final) ultrasound and blood work is complete! This morning was our last dose of Menopur, and we're done with Bravelle and Lupron (and Dexamethasone) as well – woooo hoooo!!!! We have been instructed to do our trigger shot promptly at 9:30 tonight, and our egg retrieval has been scheduled for 9:30 Monday morning! Holy crap!!!!
Sunday 8.3.08– Trigger shot is DONE! This morning at 8 a.m. (and again at 8 p.m.) Kerry began taking Doxycycline, which is just an antibiotic that helps fight off pelvic infections during the IVF process. She will take this today, and for the next five days.
Monday 8.4.08 – Egg retrieval day! We went in at 8:30 this morning to film a brief Q&A for our friend's documentary, and then checked in promptly at 9 a.m. By 9:30, Kerry was under intravenous anesthesia, and the egg retrieval process began! They got 16 eggs (we were only thinking they would get 10-13)!!!! The embryologist let us know that they expect around 80% of them to fertilize and make it to tomorrow, and we should be getting a call sometime tomorrow late morning with the fertilization report. As of right now, these are no longer Kerry's eggs and Jeff's sperm – they are our embryos. Awwww! At noon, Kerry began taking Medrol, an oral steroid which prevents inflammation in the uterine lining (that may impede the implantation of embryos). She will continue this medication for four days.
Tuesday 8.5.08 – Fertilization report is IN!!! Sherri, our embryologist, called around 10 this morning with the good news. Out of the 16 eggs they retrieved yesterday, 15 of those were mature, and 11 made it overnight – we have 11 potential candidates for the two embryos we will implant later this week!!! We will get a call tomorrow morning letting us know if we will go in for our transfer on Thursday or Saturday. We'll keep you posted!
Wednesday 8.6.08 – Fert report #2 is GOOD!!!! Sherri called again at 10 this morning to let us know that out of the 11 embryos that survived Monday night, 8 of them are "very, very high textbook quality" embies, and the other 3 are "good" quality. She has set us up for a 5 Day transfer on Saturday at 11 a.m.!!! We couldn't be more excited! We started up with injections again today, at 6 a.m. – one injection of hCG and one injection of PIO (progesterone-in-oil). The PIO shot is a PITA (pain in the ass), literally.
Saturday 8.9.08 – Our second injection of the hCG booster was this morning (along with the PIO), and then we were off! Two perfect Grade A blastocysts were transferred into Kerry's uterus at about 11:38 this morning, and we couldn't be more excited for the results on August 20th!
Monday 8.11.08 – Kerry started on Climara, which are estrogen patches, this morning. Good times.
Tuesday 8.12.08 – Our third, and final injection of the hCG booster (along with the PIO) was this morning. Thank GOD, we only have the daily PIO injections now, and nothing else!
Thursday 8.14.08 – Kerry went in for her progesterone level blood work today, and it was at 205. They like for it to be around 20-100, so as usual, Kerry is being an overachiever.
Saturday 8.16.08 – Kerry replaced her first two Climara (estrogen) patches with two new ones today.
Sunday 8.17.08 – Kerry went in for our first beta today. The beta number will measure the amount of pregnancy hormone that is in her system. We chose not to find out the number, since we want this number to double by the next time we go in. We go in for the second (and final) beta on Wednesday.
Wednesday 8.20.08 – Kerry went in this morning for our second, and last, beta. After the longest afternoon of our lives, we listened to the message from the nurse together and she said that WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!!! Our first beta was 153, and they wanted that to at least double in 72 hours. Today it was 399, so we are good to go! Kerry's progesterone today was at 237, which is amazing – and she was cleared to take off the estrogen patches today – woo hoo!!!!
Friday 9.5.08 – We went in today for an emergency ultrasound since Kerry was in a car accident last night, and we got the surprise of our lives – IT'S TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!! Baby A was measuring right on track at 6 weeks, 4 days, and had a heartrate of 120, and Baby B was measuring 6 weeks, 5 days, and had a heartrate of 135. We also got to HEAR the heartbeats of both babies, which was totally amazing.
Tuesday 9.16.08 – Ultrasound #2 was a good one – both babies are measuring on track, and this couldn't be a better 30th birthday present for Jeff! Baby A was measuring 8 weeks, with a heartrate of 168, and Baby B was measuring 8 weeks, 1 day, with a heartrate of 164. We got to hear both babies' heartbeats again, and it was just about the coolest thing ever. Today was a big day for us – GRADUATION DAY from the RE. We got to give Dr. Swanson and our embryologist, Sherri, big hugs, and thank them for finally giving us the chance to be parents! Kerry's P4 (progesterone) was 148 without having taken her PIO injection this morning – which means we are no longer doing the PIO anymore!!! YAY!
Our next appointment is with our new OB…stay tuned!

Hey J&K,
I dont know you guys 🙂 but I am also in the same boat as you guys. I really pray for a successful pregnancy for you guys ….
Take care
November 10, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Kerri–I have spent the day and I mean day catching up with you both via email and your blog. I cried tears of sadness and hapiness for you and Jeff. As a mother my heart ached for you, as a friend I was sad we weren't in contact for the last 10 years. I won't begin to try and understand your struggles but I will thank you for allowing me in your life via your blog and helping me understand a little more of this world of infertility that I am unfamiliar with. You will be an amazing mother. I am so happy for you and Jeff and look forward to following your pregancy. Take Care.
March 28, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Jeff, I'm so impressed. What a nice surprise
for Kerry. Love you both, and of course the
newest members of our family.

I just took a long nap and find I'm am now getting
sore, but I feel ok. The procedure wasn't bad.
I thought I would be put under, but was given only
enough "juice" to get through the pain. I watched
what I could on the screen and was able to talk,
mostlly asking questions. I should be able to get
out and about in a couple of days. The pictures are
wonderful, I love checking them each day. I know as
parents you think the boys are cute, but they really
are. Max really photographs well. I'm not saying
this because their are my grandchildren, they really
are the cutest. Can I leave a message on the daily
blog or need to switch over to the calendar? I'm ususally in a rush and don't take the time to switch
over. Maybe that is why the comments are slim.
Beautiful, beautiful babies!!
April 24, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Max is so cute in the lastest pictures.
I could just eat him up!!
May 1, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Another neighborhood gathering and another crowded
office with everyone gaping at the computor as I
show off the pictures of the boys. I smile just
thinking about them. Love all of you!!

"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need."

text: For a little post-earthquake and pre-hurricane celebration, my boyfriend and I dined at Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man. It's close to our apartment and we've been walking past it for ages, smelling the delicious chocolate wafting out, and finally got around to trying it. Unlike you might expect from the name, every dish is not focused around chocolate but some include chocolate touches, like the waffle fries which are dusted with chili and cocoa powder. Alex chose the Portobello mushroom burger and I decided on the veggie burger, both of which were very good. The best part though, of course, was dessert. We indulged in a White Russian with melted white chocolate instead of cream, yum, and "The S'mores Concoction" which was a deconstructed take on s'mores using fluff instead of marshmallows (which meant I could actually eat it!). The whole experience was delightful. Now please excuse me as I prepare for Miss Irene's visit.

This course is very comprehensive and well prepared material for understanding the Special Theory of Relativity. Larry (the instructor) is very expert and has broad knowledge in explaining the course.

I enjoyed this course very much. Professor Larry Randles Lagerstrom made a difficult subject easy to understand. Especially for a fellow who at 85 has forgotten a lot of what he learned in college.

Thank you Prof. Larry Lagerstrom! This course has been a great experience. Having a background in Banking & Finance, I was not sure to have the proper skills to go through such a complicated topic, which has always fascinated me. The structure of the course is perfect, the explanations are very clear. I appreciated introduction, summaries and handouts, quotes and real life examples. I also find it very effective that the teacher writes on a whiteboard instead than using slides. I would really suggest everyone to take this course. It helps understand, as was mentioned in the course, "the marvellous structure of reality".

Great introduction to Special Relativity! Good for beginners. The math is highly simplified to an intuitive level, which gives great confidence to people (like me) who don't know calculus (yet) and thus do not (for now) understand the original 1905 paper.

I had just completed my Indian Grade 12 exams and decided that since Special Relativity was something I wanted to learn about, I should go ahead and do it. I chose this course and have no regrets whatsoever. Prof. Larry explains everything in the simplest way possible and avoids complicated mathematics wherever unnecessary. After finishing this course, I have a very good idea of how Special Relativity actually works and it will immensely benefit me given I am planning to major in physics in college. Anyone who is even remotely interested in doing this course, just go for it.

I seriously love this course. It gave me a lot of insight in the realistic world. I love the way it is explained, it could not have been better! Thank you so much! This is the first course I have ever done, and I think I will move on towards the General Theory of Relativity. So much thanks again! This course changed my life, positively. I'm more motivated than I ever was. You are doing a great job, I love it. -Remko
