Make yourself at home in our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Mount Pleasant. In no time you'll be strolling the Avenue of Oaks at Boone Hall Plantation or dining on sweet Lowcountry shrimp.
Just a bridge away from the cobblestone streets of historic Charleston, Mount Pleasant lies in South Carolina's picturesque Lowcountry. Walk the landscaped parks and stroll past pastel-hued mansions fronting the harbor. Across the battery wall is Fort Sumter, where the first shot of the Civil War was fired in 1861. Our Mount Pleasant hotels are near Boone Hall Plantation, an 18th-century cotton and pecan plantation. The cathedral of moss-draped oaks on Boone Hall's Avenue of Oaks was first planted in 1743. Walk in the shoes of plucky sailors on the decks of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown—also known as the Fighting Lady—at the Patriot Points Naval and Maritime Museum.
Our hotels in Mount Pleasant are close to roadside basket stands selling sweetgrass baskets, fashioned by local artisans. These densely woven baskets make fine, affordable gifts. Our Mount Pleasant hotels are near Charleston's celebrated restaurants, specializing in Lowcountry cuisine. Sample creamy she-crab soup, finished with a dollop of sherry, or classic shrimp and grits. Or stay close to our Mount Pleasant hotels and dine in one of the reasonably priced seafood restaurants on Shem Creek. Toast to the sunset as pelicans greet the arrival of shrimp boats chugging into the Shem Creek docks.
Book your room at our Holiday Inn Express hotels in Mount Pleasant for fun in the great outdoors. After a good night's sleep at our Mount Pleasant hotels, grab your bathing suit and head to the white-sand beaches at nearby Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. You can wind-surf, sail or simply take a dip in the cool Atlantic—access to all beaches is free.

Blessing of the Seersucker!
As The Rev. John Beddingfield, rector of All Souls Memorial Episcopal Church, wrote in the 'All Souls Weekly': "Since this is also the first Sunday after Memorial Day, at All Souls, we also take a lighter approach to giving thanks for the material world and celebrate the beginning of summer with our Third Annual Blessing of the Seersucker. This brief service is our take on the "kirking" or blessing of the tartans, celebrated by Washington National Cathedral, the City of Alexandria, VA, and others. While tartans may represent ancestral links for some, we think that seersucker might better represent our clan, especially as we struggle through a hot D.C. summer and still try to look nice." All Souls Memorial Episcopal Church, 2300 Cathedral Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008-1505; Phone: 202-232-4244

Thoughts of Memorial Day
from performers and producers of the National Memorial Day Concert live from the West Lawn of the US Capitol televised on PBS tonight (Sun 5/26) at 8:00pm. Among the performers Chris Mann from The Voice and The newly crowned winner of the 12th season of "American Idol," Candice Glover But there is a lot more than than glitz, for instance the haunting story of twin brothers who joined the National Guard just two weeks before 9/11, never suspecting that they would fight in two of the longest wars in America's history. And of course remembering the fallen and the forgotten. This year is the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice and the broadcast will honor the profound sacrifices of the proud veterans those who fought and died in what has been called "the forgotten war."
Rolling Thunder is a storm for healing
This weekend tens of thousands of motorcycles converged on DC for Rolling Thunder XXVI "Ride For Freedom" 'which pays homage to the Nation's Veterans, particularly those still Prisoners of War/Missing in Action from all Wars' The main event was Sunday but the kick start was a moving and solemn ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

It has been around 3 months that our (Anupom and mine) book on CakePHP got published. This was our first effort in writing a book, and we both weren't sure how well it will be accepted. More importantly, we were anxious to know how helpful it will be to people who wanted to learn CakePHP.
But after 3 months, I am very glad to say that both the CakePHP community, and PHP programmers who are eager to learn CakePHP, has liked it. We both are very happy to know that many people bought the book and found it helpful. The CakePHP community was also very generous to welcome and appreciate our effort. I thank all who bought and appreciated our book.
I am also glad that many people took the effort to review our book. Most of them are well known figures in the CakePHP, PHP and web development communities. Here are the reviews by:
- Daniel Hofstetter (Cakebaker)
- Chris Hartjes
- Jonathan Snook
- Mark
- teknoid (dont know his real name)
- Zoltan H

Apr 29th, 2013
Recipe for low-cost, biomass-derived catalyst for hydrogen production
In a paper to be published in an upcoming issue of Energy & Environmental Science (now available online), researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory describe details of a low-cost, stable, effective catalyst that could replace costly platinum in the production of hydrogen.
The catalyst, made from renewable soybeans and abundant molybdenum metal, produces hydrogen in an environmentally friendly, cost-effective manner, potentially increasing the use of this clean energy source.
Fig 1: Splitting hydrogen from water: This illustration depicts the synthesis of a new hydrogen-production catalyst from soybean proteins and ammonium molybdate. Mixing and heating the ingredients leads to a solid-state reaction and the formation of nanostructured molybdenum carbide and molybdenum nitride crystals. The hybrid material effectively catalyzes the conversion of liquid water to hydrogen gas while remaining stable in an acidic environment.

"Simple but perfect. The photos i used for the card were also perfect! I was surprised on how clear they came out. The color of the card was also perfect for my daughter 18th bday theme which is hard to find. Basically everything was perfect perfect perfect! Thank you tinyprints"
"I used this for my moms 70th birthday invitations. The color of the cards was more vibrant than on the screen and I was very happy with the quality. They all loved it!!"
"There card is beautiful, great quality. My only complaint was how long it took to get, 1 1/2 weeks. I guess I was assuming I'd get the quick shipping I receive when ordering Christmas cards. Mary"
"Thoroughly pleased with the end result. Chose the basic card stock ( the free one) and is not too thin. I chose the ticket option for edges and really adds to the vintage look of the invitation. Quality of picture and overall print is excellent! Looks very old Hollywood glamour, we couldn't be more pleased! Such a classy 80th birthday invite!"
"I just purchased these invitations for my grandpa's 90th birthday. They turned out absolutely amazing and I can't wait to send them out to family and friends :) thank you tiny prints!!!!"

What are your New Year's resolutions?
Last year, Sajeesh Ragavan posted this question at http://www.ted.com/profiles/933068
Now, having made it through the 21st of December, 2012, it seems like exactly the right time to post it again!
I've been inspired by Dr Mike Evans short video about how much more successful New Year's resolutions tend to be compared with making resolutions at other times of year. Just posted a TEDed and would welcome your thoughts and feedback: http://ed.ted.com/on/cu5IwKY6
Happy New Year!!!

Jan 6 2013: A friend told me that one of the most useful lessons he had on being able to see things from different perspectives came from a little video on Sesame Street: "That's about the size of it." I made a little TEDed of it a few weeks ago: http://ed.ted.com/on/ArGXIcnu. Let me know what you think?
The ability to see things from other perspectives is sooooo powerful! A pity we aren't born with it and that so many people don't even know how to very well. How old do you think you were when this became important to you?
Gavin J
Jan 6 2013: I didn't get it from school - but wish it could be better taught there. I've heard of history professors who nail it, getting students to imagine themselves in the roles of the people they're studying, making decisions in those different contexts and challenges. May I ask, What do you think triggered it for you last year?
Jan 6 2013: Gavin and Melissa,
Being able to really listen, hear and understand others more is a wonderful practice, and accepting that we can be "wrong" at times facilitates good communications with ourselves and others:>)
You mention the idea of "getting students to imagine themselves in the roles of the people they're studying, making decisions in those different contexts and challenges", and that is another great step....compassion and empathy. When we can practice this, often times we do not need to use the "wrong" label. We are all different, with many different perspectives, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, ideas and beliefs. Often, we do not know the challenges a person is facing, and if WE can sometimes get beyond the "right" and "wrong" labels, we can understand people on another level? What do you think?

So there it is. Have you memorized them all? Now for some questions.
Are there too many pieces on this list? I don't think so. There are many, many composers out there doing wonderful work.
Is it possible we missed some? No question in my mind. We're doing a little better than the Pulitzer Prize, but this list just scratches the surface.
Is this list biased? You bet. I can think of a number of prominent people born in the 1930s in particular who have been left off. Anybody remember an interview a few weeks ago in the NYTimes with James Levine and a couple of composers? Won't find their names here. Among established composers with prominent careers in 1970-2005, don't look for Mario Davidovsky, Alfred Schnittke, Lou Harrison, Iannis Xenakis, Sofia Gubaidalina, Toru Takemitsu or William Bolcom either.
We're also missing a lot of the composers who are getting the majority of orchestral commissions these days. And don't tell me they don't have any influence, because there are hundreds of other composers trying to imitate those career paths, even if they won't admit it.
Do numbers matter? The most represented composer is Peter Maxwell Davies, with five entries. John Adams, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Gyorgi Ligeti, Steve Reich and Judith Weir have four each. All of these composers are very important, but I'm thinking these numbers are only of qualified interest — they might be a bit skewed by individual enthusiasms to be really significant of the largest trends. But numbers are what they are.
Is there a connection between length and impact? I don't know all of the works on this list, but of the ones I know, very few are under 10 minutes, and many are over 30 minutes. Is length an appropriate measure of importance?
What is influence? I asked What new works changed the way composers thought about composing from 1970 to 2005. Several people answered with the pieces that had influenced them most. But there are two kinds of influence: there is the piece that changes how you think about music, and there is the piece that reinforces the viewpoint you already hold. No matter how conservative or progressive we may be, we all respond to both types of influence, and I believe that a lot of the pieces that ended up on this list — both conservative and progressive — fall into the latter category, even though I was specifically asking for the former.
Actually, there is a third kind of influence, which we all experience as well: the piece that has a negative impact on us, as in, Wow, I never want to write anything like that!
How many of these works have you heard? My score is 52, which is just over one-third. Gives me a great reason to go on living, just knowing that all those life-changing works are still out there for me to experience.
What's next? You tell me. Hope this list is of some use/interest to you.

Pakistan Seeking Understanding With Islamic Militants
October 17, 2011 by Sam Rolley
Pakistani officials appear less willing than ever to confront Islamic extremist groups, and recently they are instead opting for a diplomatic approach to the handling of terrorist organizations within their country.
According to The Washington Post, recent statements issued by Pakistani officials reject any notion of widespread military action against insurgents in tribal areas of the country and instead call for truces. Reports are not clear as to which militant groups the country will make peace with, or if the insurgents will be willing to cooperate.
According to reports, most Pakistanis have become very disgruntled by the Mideast occupation of the U.S. military and believe that the foreign forces have driven up the number of terror attacks on Pakistanis. Many in the country view the militant groups as disgruntled countrymen more than terrorist organizations and feel that the end of foreign military actions in the region will suppress terror attempts on Pakistani targets.
Though U.S. officials are still calling on Pakistanis to take a hard stance against Islamic militants, leaders in Pakistan say that the idea is hypocritical given how the U.S. is now approaching the Taliban. The U.S. military has recently sought to facilitate talks between Afghan officials and the fractured militant group, according to Andhra News. Many Pakistanis see the United States' new approach, negotiating with militant groups like the Haqqani network, as a way to save face in the Mideast before the anticipated 2014 troop withdrawal.

Cortina D'ampezzo, Italy • When Stacey Cook completed her downhill run Friday, she raised both arms to the sky and flashed her pink mouth guard in a wide smile.
The fastest racer to that point — with the No. 13 bib — Cook ended up fifth to match Lindsey Vonn for the best result by the U.S. women's speed team this season.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
With Vonn out injured, this race marked a big breakthrough two weeks before the opening ceremony for the Sochi Olympics for Cook and a team that has struggled all season.
Cook was joined by teammates Julia Mancuso in ninth, rookie Jacqueline Wiles in 15th for her first World Cup points and Laurenne Ross in 17th for her best result of the season.
"Awesome," U.S. women's head coach Alex Hoedlmoser said. "As I've always said, 'They're way better than they have been skiing.' And now it shows slowly in the results, too. ... We're heading in the right direction.
"They've been skiing well in training and now they're starting to believe in themselves, too," added Hoedlmoser, who will name his team for Sochi on Sunday.
The race was won by overall World Cup leader Maria Hoefl-Riesch on a course that was shortened slightly due to overnight snowfall.
The revised start put skiers directly into the course's best-known section, the Tofane Schuss — a long straightaway between two high rock outcroppings.
"I generally do OK when there are straight shots out of the gate like that," Cook said. "So that was a little confidence booster to kick out of the gate, get on my skis and not have to do too much and then get into it. And then I just tried to not ski a perfect line but ski perfect body position and really attacking. And it seems to have been fast."
Cook missed the podium by a mere 0.03 seconds, showing the same speed that earned her second-place finishes in consecutive downhills last season in Lake Louise, Alberta.
Cook also won a downhill training session earlier this season in Beaver Creek, Colo., but couldn't maintain her speed.
"I was a little nervous at the start, because I feel like I've been prepared all year and then on race day things just haven't come together," said Cook, who at 29 is the same age as Vonn and Mancuso. "I really wanted to make it come together today."
Mancuso won the only training session Wednesday and wasn't pleased that the course was shortened.
"There's a lot less room for error — you really can't make any mistakes. That's kind of what happened to me today," she said. "I just was going for it and that's what happens, you make mistakes. But the speed is definitely there.
"In ski racing it's kind of like there's nothing to lose," Mancuso added. "You can't fail unless you try really hard. So we're just getting our speed back."
Mancuso finished seventh in Thursday's super-G and now has two consecutive top-10 results after failing to break into the top 10 previously this season.
"Now it's just a matter of having that run where everything comes together, and I'm feeling positive it will come soon," Mancuso said.
Last season, every member of the speed team reached the podium.
"We're getting close," Cook said. "Best-ever seasons are hard to repeat, especially when we're down two of our best teammates. Lindsey obviously takes a lot of pressure off the rest of us and Alice (McKennis, who is also injured) is a support system that we all rely on."
Another downhill is scheduled for Saturday, followed by a super-G on Sunday to round out four consecutive days of racing
The 21-year-old Wiles is enjoying the repetition, too. As a rookie, all of the courses in Europe are new to her.Next Page >

Fast food fuels more Americans than you thought
Roughly 80% of us eat it at least once a month, and the wealthier go for it more than the poor on a weekly basis.
Well, you do. According to Gallup, 80% of you eat fast food at least once a month.
There's very little disparity in how all of that grease-fried food is consumed, either. Often associated with low income or poverty, fast food is consumed more heavily by those making more than $75,000 a year (51% report eating it at least once a week) than by those making between $20,000 and $30,000 a year (42%) or less than $20,000 (39%).
It's clearly a young person's game, however, as 57% of those aged 18 to 29 say they hit the counter or drive-through at least once a week. That drops to 47% for those aged 30 to 49, 44% for those aged 50 to 64 and to 41% among those aged 65 and older.
There isn't a whole lot of difference between how various races visit McDonald's (MCD), Burger King (BKW), Wendy's (WEN) and elsewhere, either. Fifty-two percent of blacks and 53% of Hispanics eat fast food at least weekly, while 46% of whites do the same.
All the groups feel just as badly about their meal afterward. A full 73% of those who go for fast food weekly told Gallup they think it's not too good for them or not good at all. That still trails the 81% of people who don't eat fast-food who believe the same. But at least there's a sizable degree of self-awareness.
Fast food is not just bags of grease anymore, but it is still fast. Long gone is the "lunch hour". Just grab and pick at your food between phone calls and meetings. Fast food works better at this.
On the way home from work, between soccer practice and music lessons, sometimes the drive through is all you have time for. The world has sped up, and fast food has kept pace.
Now that you can get something healthy at most of these places, it is OK to go to them, if you choose wisely.

An impressive performance by Lagrange, the 2000 possesses a saturated ruby/purple color with obvious notes of melted licorice, creme de cassis, and toasty new oak. This ripe, dense, full-bodied St.-Julien is chewy, thick, high in tannin, large-bodied, and impressively long and dense. As always, it is less expressive than some of its peers, but it is loaded as well as reasonably priced. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.
(4/ 2003)
*#25 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2003* Its been years since I have tasted such an impressive young wine from this estate. And its an excellent value. Beautifully aromatic, with coffee, cedar and blackberries on the nose, its full-bodied, with fine tannins and a mineral, blackberry aftertaste. Director and winemaker Marcel Ducasse got the most out of his vineyards in 2000. And its good news for all of us. Extremely well-done. Beautifully aromatic, with coffee, cedar and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a mineral, blackberry aftertaste with medium fine tannins. I haven't had a Lagrange of this quality in years. Best after 2010.
(3/ 2003)
Deep, saturated bright ruby-purple. Brooding aromas of cassis, violet and cedar ('hibernating now,' says Ducasse). Very densely packed but very closed and extremely backward. Nearly painful flavors of black fruits, violet and menthol. Finishes very firm and very long, with powerful tannins supported by the wine's flesh. (92+)
(9/ 2004)
Mid crimson. Attractive scent and development on the nose. Well balanced and well judged - neat - even if not a blockbuster. Quite introvert but confident with great balance. No hurry to drink.
(3/ 2010)
Deep color with toasty oak aromas. Big and tannic on the palate with tons of very ripe currant fruit flavors. Excellent.

I already have joint legal custody. But my ex signs my daughter up for sports, classes and doctors appointments during my scheduled visits all the time . She also has my daughter call me to ask to switch weekends for a social event and makes me the bad guy if I say no so I usually say yes. But last time she refused visitation on the agreed upon weekend and said its not contempt because it was a verbal agreement. When I ask for her doctor or therapist number she refuses to give it to me. She also has frequently refused to send her ADHD meds and when she does she only sends her with half of the prescribed dose. She does her best to exclude me and make me insignificant. Anytime we go to court the judge doesn't pay any attention to the facts I present and gives her anything she wants.
You can present your Court order/judgment to the doctors/school/etc re appointments/events, and stop the events. You will not be able to avoid looking like the "bad guy" but that is what parenting is all about. You will not be rewarded for many years to come.
Present the court orders, and stand your ground.
Good luck!
I agree with Nadine Jett. It sounds like you're getting manipulated by your ex and your child. This is not a reasonable basis to establish ongoing good relationship with either one of them.
You definitely need to have some contact with your child's therapist to understand what's going on in her life to some degree, and what meds she takes and for what purpose.
These go to the fundamentals of the parenting, and something you can accomplish one way or another would be through court order, hopefully not, or through someone's cooperation.
I hope this was helpful.

text: The Wired guide to being in a band in 2011: Getting your music online Business 20 May 11 by Dave Fawbert Tweet Flickr.com/CowGummy The internet was supposed to be the great democratiser of music. Suddenly, anyone could make their music available to everyone, and everyone could consume it quickly and easily. The prohibitive transaction costs to get to market had gone, and it would be a free and fair market where the best music was universally championed by the masses.Except, it hasn't quite worked out like that. The downside of the great free-for-all is that it's now harder than ever to get noticed amongst the deluge of music that swamps us at every turn. In 2011, we are still waiting for the first truly big band to build a career using the internet alone, and the route to stardom is far from clear.So, what is an aspiring artist or band to do? How should they navigate the choppy waters of the current music industry? Dave Fawbert, head of Kids Records and A&R for Warner Music, is here to show you.Part II: getting your music onlineIn 2011, we are very much in a purgatory stage between the old model of record company dominance, and the new way of internet freedom and the possibility of directly reaching your potential fanbase. The shackles of the old have not yet been shaken off (there may soon only be three major labels, but they still control access to a great deal of the media) and the roots of the new have yet to fully grow -- as mentioned in the first instalment, no band has, as yet, achieved world domination without a label behind them.Therefore, you need to engage with both. It is highly advisable to know what labels (and their representatives on earth, A&R scouts) are looking for, but at the same time, it is easier than ever before to find your own fans, and there are myriad tools at your disposal to achieve this.If you followed the advice in the first part of this guide, you will now armed with three killer songs which convey your musical vision with aplomb and style. However, in this cruel world that we live in, your world-beating act will not be judged on the music alone -- your book will be judged on its cover, at least initially. So, you need some basics: a good name, some decent artwork and logo, and possibly a photo (if you are the next Deadmau5, then a graphic is clearly more important).Who knows what a good name is? The Beatles is a terrible pun if you think about it -- so we won't attempt to offer any advice there. Artwork again is fairly subjective -- just make it fit your sound -- but there are rules on photos. No smiling, no ridiculous scenery and no 'wackiness' (again, if you're the Beastie Boys, feel free to ignore this). Some people get very uptight about these things. Utilise talented friends for artwork, and also get to know any aspiring video directors in your area, or simply have a play around with iMovie.Next, the million-dollar-question -- where should your music be online? The list of social networking sites utilising music is almost endless (some of the thousands include: Virb, ReverbNation, Blip.fm, Official.fm etc). To attempt to engage with them all would take you so long you'd have no time left to devote to the music itself. The two key aspects when choosing a base on the web are utility, and economies of scale. What sites are the most useful, and what sites will allow you to reach the greatest number of people? There are five clear beacons calling out to you: YouTube, Soundcloud, Facebook, Twitter and Bandcamp. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Comments Awesome, super helpful.

Ever get the feeling tabloids are just making up these stories out of thin air? Like this rumor that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with her second baby already. OMG, Kim is pulling a Jessica Simpson! Preggers again, obvy. Can you beeleeve? NO, actually, I cannot beeleeve. But please, tabloid magazine, tell us why/how you think Kim is pregnant a whole two months after she gave birth to North.
Life & Style has a blaring headline on its cover: "Barely 8 weeks later ... Baby No. 2 Already!" Wow, an exclamation point! Not even a question mark! That's such a bold and confident statement! Why do I still not believe them!
We're talking about Kim Kardashian, right? The woman who looked swollen and miserable through her entire pregnancy, who complained that it was a lot harder than she thought it would be, who delivered her baby prematurely because of eclampsia. That Kim Kardashian? Malarkey.
I'd be surprised if Kim gets pregnant ever again the rest of her life. She had such a rough time, all those health problems. She also found out how much harder it is to maintain her globe-trotting, platform heel-tottering lifestyle pregnant. And people were so mean about her weight gain! I can't imagine she's in the mood for an encore performance of all that.
Just because she's crazy enough for reality TV doesn't mean she's crazy enough to get knocked up again so soon. Anyway, the odds are against her. Her hormones are probably still adjusting, plus she's supposedly breastfeeding. And how much has Kanye been around, anyway? He's been promoting his new album -- not that there hasn't been time for nookie, but you'd have to be at it all the time, every day in order to beat those odds.
So no. Barely eight weeks later ... Baby #2 IS NOT HAPPENING! For Kim Kardashian! This has been a public service announcement. You may all carry on now with the rest of the day.
Do you think Kim Kardashian will dare to have another baby -- ever?
Image via Pacific Coast News
Pretty sure that her doctors really emphasized that she needed 6 weeks to heal before having intercourse again. Not saying it's impossible, but if she followed her doctors' orders, it's very unlikely.
Well,my twins are two months old and I found out yesterday that I'm four weeks along,so it's definitely possible although not recommended at all,especially for soeone that had a hard pregnancy.
I'm sure she will at some point.

Hi ladies. I just want to say once again how gratful I am to have all of you to turn to when I'm unsure or just need to vent. I've posted my story here before and after reading some of your stories I feel EXTREMLY blessed BUT also more aware of preeclampsia...I've learned so much here. When I was diagnosed at 36 weeks with my third child, I had never heard of pre e and had no idea the damage it could do. Anyways, after a week on hospital bedrest and days of mag (that was the worst), I delivered baby number 3 @ 37 weeks gestation (vaginally) weighing 7lbs & 1oz. With my first baby, I developed extremly high blood pressure suddenly and because I was already 40 weeks was sent in to be induced immediatly....looking back and knowing what I know now....I'm sure I was developing pre e (the bp and swelling is enough to indicate that), however, I don't remember the drs ever saying anything about protein. My 2nd pregnancy was completly normal.
Here I am now baking the 4th and final baby. I was diagnosed in my first trimester with chronic hypertension and prescribed 250mg of mytheldopa twice daily. That seemed to help for a little while. At about 18 weeks, I developed the worst migrane accompanied by severe vomiting. After seeing my dr that morning, I was sent home with anti nausea pills as well as loratab for the pain. Because of the vomiting, I was unable to keep any of it down. My fiance took me to labor and delivery that evening. Once we arrived my bp was immediatly taken and read an alarming 160/115. I was given a shot of morphine and antinausea meds. The morphine only took the edge off of the headache. By the time I was sent home, my bp was down to 150/100....and although the headache was still present, the vomiting had subsided. My bp meds were upped to 500mg 3 times per day.
As I mentioned, I am now 24 weeks and 5 days along. I am feel extremly blessed to have made it this far and I know everyday is a milestone. This past Thursday my bp at home reached 150/105. I reported to my Dr and was seen that afternoon. My bp was 149/102 when I reached the dr office, but no protein was detected in my urine. However, a moderate amount of blood was. The midwife who was seeing me that day (my dr was booked), told me that a urine sample needed to be sent off to the lab. I have no symptoms of a uti or kidney infection...and I have no clue why I would have a moderate amount of blood in my urine. After lying on my left side for an hr in the dr office, my bp was down to 148/96 which is not bad for me. I also reported to the midwife that I have been having moderate braxton hicks contractions for days on and off and more so in the evening. After a cervix check, she reported that there was no change in my cervix but to go to l&d if I had contractions lasting blah blah blah blah blah.
Anyways, I am still only being seen once a month. I really feel that I should be seen more often because I know how suddenly pre e can creep up. My dr doesn't seem as concerned as I'd like her to be. I will not be seen twice a month until 32 weeks...and I will not begin receiving growth scans of the baby until then. I can my bp at home and I do pretty often but it's always high. I'm unable to check for protein in my urine though...and I would hate to have something going on and not know it for a month. I want to catch pre e as quickly as possible to give my baby the best fighting chance.
I just don't feel like enough care is being taken....and I have a bad feeling all of the time. My braxton hicks seem to be worsening, escpecially today. I'm just worried...and I don't want myself or the baby to be sick...I need to be healthy for my other 3 children. What should I do? Should I demand to be seen more often? Should I see another dr? I'm so confused. Please give me your opinion.
Thank you very much for reading. I'm sorry it was so long.

Publication: The Day
Mystic - Mike Nolan was sitting in his computer room in his Meadowbrook Lane home late Wednesday night when he heard a woman scream, "Help me! He's trying to kill me!"
He ran outside and couldn't believe what he saw. His neighbor, Bryan Marshall, was straddling his wife, Adrienne Amero-Marshall, and an obvious struggle was underway, Nolan recalled Thursday.
"He was on top of her on the ground," Nolan said. "When I yelled out to them, he jumped up and ran back inside the home."
Nolan said Amero-Marshall came running to him and was bleeding profusely. Nolan said it appeared that Amero-Marshall had managed to grab a pair of scissors away from her husband, but not before he allegedly had slashed her across the neck.
Nolan said he took Amero-Marshall across the street to safety then quickly ran back to his home to call 911 and to grab a blanket to help stop the bleeding.
Nolan said that shortly thereafter, the couple's home, a two-story garage apartment at 10 Meadowbrook Lane, was ablaze. When Nolan approached the home, he said, he saw Marshall on the ground with a serious head injury and complaining of back pain.
"I helped drag him across the street," Nolan said. "He didn't look good."
Police Detective Sgt. David Knowles said officers obtained a search warrant early Thursday, which allowed them to enter the charred structure and begin their investigation.
Both local and state fire marshals were at the scene Thursday morning. Yellow tape cordoned off the house on and investigators could be seen taking pictures and walking around the lawn.
Stonington police Capt. Jerry Desmond said Thursday afternoon that the incident remains under investigation. He would not comment on a possible motive.
Stonington police said they received several 911 calls at about 10:42 p.m. Wednesday from a Meadowbrook Lane residence reporting a married couple involved in an active domestic disturbance.
Police found Amero-Marshall outside. Shortly after assisting her, police said, they discovered a two-story structure on fire. Police said Marshall had jumped out of a second-floor window.
Amero-Marshall, 49, was listed in fair condition Thursday at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. Her husband, 50, was transferred to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition.
Amero-Marshall is currently unemployed. Her husband worked as an outside sales representative for HESCO in Rocky Hill, an industrial automation provider.
A man who answered the phone at HESCO was unaware of the incident and declined further comment.
Nolan said the couple lived above the garage, where the fire occurred. The house on the same property did not appear to be damaged. Nolan said the couple usually rent out the house during the summer.
Nolan said he grew up in the usually quiet neighborhood. The Marshalls had no children together and for the most part kept to themselves but were friendly, he said.
"I never saw police respond there," Nolan said. "I never heard them argue."
According to the Chapel of Flowers in Las Vegas, Bryan Marshall and Adrienne Amero were married in the Magnolia Chapel on Aug. 11, 2003.

In Case of an Accident or If You Get Lost: Call 911 or 209.258.6000 from a cell phone. Wait for someone to answer. Do not hang up until all pertinent information has been gathered.
Construction Warning: Major improvements and repairs are made on Kirkwood Mountain during the summer. Please be aware of construction, maintenance vehicles and heavy equipment, and obey all posted warnings. You may encounter construction vehicles on mountain roads. When using these routes, be very cautious and yield the right-of-way.
Fire Danger: Smoking is prohibited on the lifts and on-mountain due to fire danger. Report fires immediately.
Sun Protection: At 10,000 feet, exposure to the sun is 40% greater than it is at sea level. We recommend sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher, as well as eye protection.
Lightning and Thunderstorms: Brief afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains. Seek shelter when you see a storm developing. You are responsible to take proper precautions that include keeping off ridge-lines and staying clear of chairlift houses and towers, power lines, open spaces, lone trees and signposts. Lifts may close on occasion causing delays. Please take this into consideration when planning on-mountain activities.
High-Altitude Environment: If you live at a lower elevation, you may tire more easily. Take it easy at first. Plan short trips until you are acclimated and drink plenty of water. Some visitors may experience symptoms associated with Kirkwood's high altitude. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, restless sleep, coughing and difficulty in breathing. If symptoms persist or if you have a concern about your health, you should seek medical attention.
Adequate Clothing: Be aware, mountain weather changes quickly and there is usually at least a 10 degree temperature difference from the bottom to the top of the lifts. Bring a raincoat and consider a sweater or fleece.
Lift Safety: Under California law, you cannot board a lift unless you have sufficient physical dexterity, ability and knowledge to negotiate or to use such lift safely or until you have asked for and received information sufficient to enable you to use the lift safely. You may not use a lift when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please lower the bar when riding lifts.
Weather and Terrain: Unpredictable weather, as well as rugged, uneven, irregular and slippery conditions exists. YOU ASSUME THE RISK.
Multi-Use: Be aware that trails and roads at Kirkwood are used for many purposes during the summer. Mountain bikes, hikers, horses, motorized vehicles, construction equipment and others may be encountered at any time.
Helmets and sturdy shoes with good tread are recommended at all times. Child carriers or tow-behind bikes are not permitted and
all bikes must have two working brakes. All loose clothing, bags or packs should be firmly secured so they do not interfere with the
bicycle's moving parts.
Mountain bikers must always yield to other non-motorized trail users. Should you encounter hikers or horses on any trail, you must
yield the right-of-way. Ride on designated trails only and obey all posted signs and warnings. Failure to do so may result in lift ticket
and/or pass revocation.
Kirkwood asks that everyone is cautious and respectful of wildlife; please do not approach or feed any of our wildlife. Hikers rarely encounter bears, but if you do please remain calm and back away slowly.
All Kirkwood mountain bikers must obey the NORBA Code.
- I will yield the right-of-way to other non-motorized trail users.
- I will use caution when overtaking another and will make my presence known well in advance.
